975: Cold Moon (2)

Cold Moon (2)

What was her plan today? Did she want Xie Jingxing to be like Fu Xiuyi, fascinated by her at first sight and falling in love with her again? Shen Miao sneered in her heart. She couldn't help but look up at Xie Jingxing.0

What caught Shen Miao off guard was that Xie Jingxing's gaze was on her. He probably did not expect Shen Miao to suddenly look at him. He paused for a moment before turning his head away and continuing to look outside as if he was hiding something.

He didn't seem to be interested in the person dancing in the middle of the hall at all.

Shen Miao was stunned, but an indescribable feeling surged in her heart. Although she hated Consort Mei to the core, she also felt a sense of inferiority deep in her heart. In terms of appearance and charm, she admitted that she was inferior to Consort Mei, which was why Fu Xiuyi sacrificed her without hesitation in her previous life. Xie Jingxing was thousands of times better than Fu Xiuyi. If Li Mei also liked Xie Jingxing… Shen Miao thought that she would be abandoned in no time.

However, Xie Jingxing's gaze was on her and not on Li Mei.

If it were Fu Xiuyi, when Shen Miao and Consort Mei appeared at the same time, he would not even look at Shen Miao.

No two people were alike. Just like her and Li Mei, Xie Jingxing and Fu Xiuyi were also different.

Deep in thought, she did not even know when Li Mei finished dancing. Only when she heard the enthusiastic applause in the hall did she look up and see Li Mei standing there with a faint smile. There were some beads of sweat on her forehead, and her cheeks were pink, making her look even more charming and beautiful. Behind her, the ink painting was completed. It was a painting of a qilin stepping on the cloud.

"Miss Ye is really talented!" An official said, "Your painting is vivid and lifelike."

"She's also a good dancer." A madam quickly added, "Madam Ye, you're really lucky. Miss Ye is just like you. Not only is she beautiful, but she's also talented. Look at how well she dances and paints. You can find another girl like her in Long Ye."

Madam Ye accepted the praise with a smile, but Lu Wan'er clenched her handkerchief jealousy, her eyes filled with hatred.

Another person said, "Prince Rui, what do you think of this painting?"

Everyone looked at Xie Jingxing. Ye Mei also looked at Xie Jingxing and saw him looking out of the window with a wine cup in his hand. He was deep in thought and did not listen to the conversation at all.

"Your Highness?" Gao Yang recalled him.

Xie Jingxing came back to his senses and asked, "Yes?"

"They're asking you how Miss Ye's painting is," Gao Yang said.

Everyone felt bad for Ye Mei. Prince Rui was absent-minded and didn't pay attention to the dance at all. This was undoubtedly too disrespectful to Ye Mei.

When Xie Jingxing heard that, he glanced at the painting and said with a smile, "Not bad."

Everyone could see his perfunctory attitude.

Ye Mei's smile suddenly froze. When Shen Miao saw this, a trace of a smile flashed across her eyes. Xie Jingxing must have been "absent-minded" on purpose. Although she did not know why he deliberately embarrassed Ye Mei, Shen Miao was happy.

Ye Mei noticed her smile. She stared at Shen Miao and suddenly said with a chuckle, "Speaking of which, when I lived in Prince Rui's mansion, I heard that the princess consort was also talented."
