Chapter 18: Surprise (1)

  "Report to Your Majesty, the queen has sent someone from Xue Ling Garden with a message. Today is the first day of the first month, and it's really not good to dampen everyone's enthusiasm. Although she hasn't arrived yet, we still need to show some respect and congratulations. Therefore, I present this grand gift." Guard A knelt down respectfully and said loudly.

  "I had no idea Princess Jin was so clever..." someone whispered from below.

  "Open and see." Xiao Yuehan poured a cup of wine and put it to his lips with an indifferent expression.

  "His Majesty, Her Highness says that you must open this box yourself." said Guard B respectfully.

  The lady-in-waiting, Fu Ce, glared at the guard with discontent: "What's going on? If you're going to present a gift, do it quickly! Why doesn't she come herself if she really has good intentions?"

  Xiao Yuehan didn't look at Fu Fei, but hooked his lips into a smile: "Oh?" Then he put down the wine cup in his hand and walked away.

  "Your Highness!" Concubine Fu hastily called out: "These past few months, the Princess has been acting strangely, I don't know what her intentions are, Your Highness should be careful! Why not let me help you..." Before she could finish speaking, Concubine Fu suddenly met a pair of sharp eyes, she paused, hastily covered her mouth and lowered her head.

  Xiao Yue Han walked to the box filled with flower petals, and as soon as he approached, he smelled a sweet fragrance unique to certain people. He smiled slightly and lifted the lid.

  At the moment when the box was opened, only a not-too-large explosion sound rang out. When everyone stood up in panic, Xiao Yuehan still stood there, calmly watching the petals flying out of the box, and then a slender figure flew out from among them.

  Hua Xiang's slender figure was clad in a pale pink silk blouse, her water skirt fluttering and swaying in mid-air. A long, pink ribbon was tied around her butterfly knot, dancing in the breeze. Her bare, white jade-like feet twirled daintily in the air before landing on the ground, releasing a sweet fragrance that wafted up to her face, which seemed to betray a hint of surprise before quickly regaining its calm and serene smile as she stood before Xiao Yuehan.

  Her slender hands fluttered, and the long pink water sleeves danced in mid-air for half a circle before landing on Xiao Yuehan's shoulder, wrapping around him several times. The delicate Mei leaned in close, whispering softly into his ear, her warm breath sending shivers down his spine. With a swift turn, the water sleeves flew out again, and she sprang up onto her tiptoes, dancing in mid-air for another circle before landing behind Xiao Yuehan. Round and round, her petite, delicate body whirled, dazzling everyone's eyes. Xiao Yuehan's eyes narrowed slightly as he turned his head, seemingly delighted by this surprise. His gaze followed her fluttering dance steps...

  Until...

  Hua Xiang Rong suddenly sprang up on her toes, her small white jade-like feet tracing a curve in mid-air. With a whirl of her body, she turned to face Xiao Yue Han, her eyes sparkling with endless charm and a hint of a smile. Then, Hua Xiang Rong's body slowly descended from mid-air, her bare feet landing on top of Xiao Yue Han's shoes. She lifted her bright, shining eyes and smiled sweetly at him: "Your Highness, I'm late, please forgive me..."

  "Great! Great! It's really wonderful..."

  "The princess is truly a heavenly beauty, even the nine celestial maidens can't compare to her. She's indeed the treasured gem of the Left Chancellor, and in this world, only she is worthy of our Brocade King..."

  The surroundings suddenly erupted in cheers, but Hua Xiang Rong seemed to be the only one who could see Xiao Yue Han, her eyes shining as she gazed at him, as if waiting for him to make a move.
