"Why doesn't His Highness want to see me?"
Ruyi was troubled by Xia Yunxi's question. Should he say, "I'm sorry, please leave! Our Highness isn't interested in women other than his consort, so just give up! "
If it was Ji Xiang, he would definitely say that. However, Ruyi couldn't say such a thing. Moreover, this princess was standing in front of him with tears in her eyes, making it seem as if he was bullying her. Ruyi didn't know what to do, so she didn't say anything and just kept silent.
Ruyi was silent. Xia Yunxi didn't make things difficult for him. Ruyi was just an errand boy. He was only conveying Feng Cang's message. But Xia Yunxi didn't want to give up just like that. She had come all the way from East Lu for Feng Cang. If she gave up after one or two rejections, then her love wouldn't be firm.
How to attract Feng Cang's attention was what Xia Yunxi wanted to do. While thinking, Xia Yunxi saw a high platform on the first floor. There was a banner with the words "Arena" written on it.
"Arena?" Xia Yunxi was surprised. She immediately asked Hongye to find out what it was for.
After a while, Hongye returned to Xia Yunxi's side.
"Miss, although the White Cloud House is a teahouse, the most famous thing here is the arena on the first floor. No matter your identity, status, or wealth, you can fight in the arena here. Poetry, chess, calligraphy, or painting, you can compete in anything! "
"The challenger can choose a challenger, but they must first display their talent and gain the public's approval before they can choose their opponent. The challenged party can't refuse unless they admit defeat on the spot. As for the judges, they are the guests of the White Cloud House. The one with the most support will be the winner! "
Redleaf described the characteristics of White Cloud House's arena in a few words.
Single elimination tournament? Challenge? That was a very novel thing to do. Seeing this stage, Xia Yunxi suddenly felt that this was an opportunity. She wanted to attract Feng Cang's attention and tell the entire Yanjing City that Feng Cang was the man she fancied and that he would be her son-in-law!
Xia Yunxi whispered a few words in Hongye's ear. Hongye's eyes widened as she looked at Xia Yunxi in shock. "Princess, are you really going to fight in the arena? You are a priceless treasure! "
"Hongye, he refused to see me. If I didn't do this, how could I have attracted his attention? He forced me to do this! I must challenge the princess to a duel, and since he's Feng Qiqi's elder brother, it's only natural that he'll pay attention to the duel and me. That way, I'll have a chance to meet him! "
Her princess was infatuated with the Southern Lin King, which made Hongye very helpless. Ever since she had been with Xia Yunxi, she had heard the name "Feng Cang" the most. Xia Yunxi was obsessed with Feng Cang!
Xia Yunxi had already made up her mind. She would not listen to anyone's advice. She confidently stood on the stage and beat the big drum placed on the stage. With the sound of the drum, the guests of the White Cloud House knew that someone was going to set up the stage again. When they saw the beautiful lady standing on the stage, they were all shocked. It was actually a woman setting up an arena? This was something new!
"Who is that woman? She's so beautiful! "The one fighting in the ring was a woman, and a beautiful woman at that. This was simply big news. Immediately, everyone's gazes gathered on Xia Yunxi.
When she saw the gazes of the people below and above the stage, Xia Yunxi knew that she had won the bet. In this day and age, how could a woman show her face in public? She had thrown caution to the wind to stand here today. Everything was for Feng Cang! She would not give up so easily!
One had to admit that Xia Yunxi's attire today was very pleasing to the eye. Dressed in simple yet elegant white, her black hair was speckled with blue. Coupled with that pitiful and lovely little face, one could not help but want to hold her in their arms and protect her.
"Your Majesty, the woman on the stage is the princess of East Lu, Xia Yunxi. It's said that she chased Feng Cang here … "
In a corner, Fuller was standing beside Mingyue Cheng, carefully attending to him. After Mingyue Cheng returned to the country, he had rewarded Fuller, who had been loyal to him. Now, Fuller had been serving Mingyue Cheng.
When Mingyue Cheng received news of Feng Cang's return, he knew that he had brought Murong Qiqi over. Mingyue Cheng had also arrived at the White Cloud House. However, he had arrived late, so he did not see Murong Qiqi. Moreover, there were guards outside Feng Cang's private room, so Mingyue Cheng simply found a place to sit and drink.
"Xia Yunxi? Hehe — — "Mingyue Cheng drank the wine, the corner of his mouth revealing a perfect smile," I wonder who the person she chose is! "
Mingyue Cheng was at the White Cloud House, and coincidentally, Wanyan Yi was here as well. Ever since Feng Cang and Murong Qiqi returned to the capital, he had been keeping an eye on the Southern Lin Palace.
Now that Feng Cang had brought Murong Qiqi to the White Cloud House, he had rushed over immediately. However, he stayed in another private room. He wanted to see what Feng Cang was up to. However, when he arrived, he actually saw East Lu's princess, Xia Yunxi.
For some reason, when Wanyan Yi saw Xia Yunxi for the first time, his heart suddenly thumped violently. Although he had seen many beauties, including a peerless beauty like Murong Qiqi, his heart would only race and his face would turn red when he saw Xia Yunxi.
This woman was as delicate as an orchid in the wind, pure and delicate. She wore a white dress that was as pure as snowflakes. Yun Xi, Yun Xi, was as pure and holy as a cloud.
Although Murong Qiqi was prettier than Xia Yunxi, Wanyan Yi felt that there was something unruly hidden in Murong Qiqi's clear eyes. He did not like it. A woman should have the appearance of a woman. Xia Yunxi's appearance was good enough!
Xia Yunxi's thoughts were all about Feng Cang. She wanted to attract Feng Cang's attention, but she didn't expect it to be Wanyan Yi.
"This is my first time here. I hope everyone can take care of me!" Xia Yunxi's voice was very gentle, as soft as the wind. It was warm, and when it brushed past, it made one's heart itch. She bowed slightly to gain a good impression in front of everyone.
"Today, I would like to challenge someone. However, according to the White Cloud House's rules, the challenger must first display his or her talents. I have no other abilities and only learned the zither for a few years. I hope everyone can forgive me and not challenge me! "
