Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty-Chapter 70: Unloved Daughter of Yue Mansion (24)

"What is the matter that needs to be discussed with me, Your Royal Highness?"

After entering the study, Yue Yu made a beeline for the host seat with indifference, while Ming Chen humbly took the guest seat himself.

Because this was the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ming Chen did not feel the least bit offended by Yue Yu's actions, let alone put off by Yue Yu's malice. Or rather, Ming Chen could not feel Yue Yu's malice because Yue Yu was smiling gently at him all the time.

Yue Yu: How daft!

"It's about the flower viewing that was to be held tomorrow," Ming Chen started. "The oldest princess has heard that the young master of the Yue family has a brilliant literary talent with many achievements," he said and continued. "The oldest princess wants your help in coming up with topics for the poem exchange tomorrow in order for the competition to be fair for everyone."

"Then I will obey Your Royal Highness', the Crown Prince's, order," Yue Yu said, smiling in his heart.

With the advantage of making up topics for the poem exchange tomorrow, he could let Yue Ran know the theme for the poem exchange so that she could overwhelm the crowd with her beautiful poem at the flower viewing event.

This could make Yue Ran happy for a long time and also get her revenge on Xue Lu at the same time. This would hit two birds with one stone.

He could even help Yue Ran with the topic since she had not attended a party since the last one.

It's also a very good way to sweep away the rumors that she's ignorant and uneducated.

It's cheating, but so what?

Yue Yu has always done things fairly for outsiders, but the only person he holds dearly in his heart must be spoiled and pampered no matter what. So who could truly accuse him of doing wrong when it was what his heart told him to do all along?

Yue Yu really took great pains to keep Yue Ran happy all the time.

But this is what he wants to do, so no complaints there.

Presently, his mindset had changed so much that if someone had told him a month ago that he would choose hugging a beauty over power, he would've sneered at their faces and called them delusional.

But reality was ever-changing, and one could not stick to one plan.

Yue Yu's master plan had been revised, and now he wanted to hold both beauty and power in his hands.

No one can stop him from getting them.

"Whose family's daughter is that?"

"How come I've never seen such a pretty, noble young lady before at banquets?"

"Could she be the daughter of a hidden family?"

The flower viewing banquet arrived very quickly—in just one sunset and one sunrise.

Yue Ran was wearing her now-trademark fiery red dress. It was a dress that contrasted with her usual dull style of plain and simple embellishments and pale colors.

The thin layer upon thin layer of skirt on the dress deepened the red color on the dress, making Yue Ran look like a blooming blood-red peony, bright and striking. Her appearance effortlessly commands everyone's attention.

"Has there ever been such a noble young lady who looked so remarkable before in our capital?"

"Could she come from another place perhaps?"

As soon as those words were uttered, most of the noble young men's minds were instantly moved.

If she were the daughter of a small official from the local area, meaning that her family's status was not of much importance, then that extremely beautiful appearance of hers could only be nothing but a disaster to herself and her family, especially when a rich old man of great status lusts for her beauty. If so, then her ending would not be a good one.

So if these noblemen take her in as their partner, they could easily save her from facing such a predicament.

The boiling-fire feeling of saving a damsel in distress surged from their hearts. All of them felt like princes who would soon be able to hold a remarkable beauty in their hands.

Yue Ran doesn't know what these men were thinking, but judging from their predatory-like eyes, they were very much coveting her beauty. That much was obvious.

She also ignored those looks that showed envy and green jealousy so blatantly in those noble young ladies' eyes.

They can get jealous as much as they want. Her beauty will remain unparalleled anyway.

In fact, it was normal for these people to not be able to recognize Yue Ran.

The Yue Ran from the past was still beautiful, one of natural beauty like clear soup. But now, her beauty was radiating from the inside out, like a charmingly seductive peony that lures everyone with its sweet fragrance and stunning beauty.

It was hard for these people to recognize Yue Ran for a while.

But gradually, a young noble lady who was intently staring at Yue Ran's figure jealously found that Yue Ran looked very familiar. She can't seem to pin point out who the beauty looked like for a moment.

As if a candlelight was lit in her head, Yue Ran's past image and Yue Ran's current image intersected in her mind.

"It's Yue Ran! It's Yue Ran!" She exclaimed.

"Yue Ran?"

"Look, isn't it Yue Ran?"

"Um, she does look a little like Yue Ran." freewёbnoνel.com

"It's really Yue Ran!"

"You're right, it's really Yue Ran!"

"But how could it be..."

Yue Ran was standing not far from the group of young ladies, listening in on their rather chaotic quarrel.

In fact, it was not she who was eavesdropping on their conversation.

Yue Ran was pretty sure that their voices had traveled far and wide in this rather silent banquet. The silence only started when Yue Ran entered the venue.

However, whispers gradually broke the silence, and now there were loud shouts and conversations; an amalgamation of different sounds filled the air.

Yue Ran was speechless.

Why were these noble ladies so excited when talking about her?

They really had nothing to do but gossip on her, don't they?

But the noble young men went even more silent after learning of the charming beauty's true identity—Yue Ran.

Their hearts sank into the sea, submerging so deeply that they touched the seabed.

If such a bright and eye-catchingly breathtaking woman was really Yue Ran, then it would be extremely hard to hide such a beauty in a golden house.

They would never be able to successfully cage such a vibrant and vivacious bird in a cage, especially with their family status in comparison.

They can never compete with or tame such a pepperpot beauty.

What's more, if the beauty is really Yue Ran, their former fiery heart will be immediately extinguished. After all, most of them have been exposed to Yue Ran's evil deeds during childhood and hence would not be able to like her at all.

Such an assertive noble lady who always had such a strong opinion and was so aggressive in her ways, as well as ignorant and uneducated, was not what they were attracted to. A noble young lady with Yue Ran's attitude was just too much for them to handle, especially when they expect a woman to be weak and acquiescent.

While everyone was whispering, the oldest princess, who hosted the flower viewing banquet, finally revealed her presence.

This oldest princess of the imperial family has a very high status due to her being the current emperor's only blood sister.

"Today, I have invited noble young men and ladies of all families to come to my princess' mansion for a flower viewing, since the blooming flowers will soon lose their glory in the coming summer, and also to share knowledge by exchanging poems with one another," the oldest princess said. "Why don't you all follow me to the garden to write a few poems while admiring the flowers in the surroundings, just so that the beauty of those delicate flowers would not be in vain?"

Before anyone could answer the oldest princess, a high-pitched scream sounded, and a girl rushed straight to the oldest princess.

"Mother!" the girl shouted.

The girl is the eldest princess, Liu Zhi. She's known for her liking for Yue Yu, the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
