Chapter 143 Introduction
Among the many literati present, the vast majority had heard of her talent and read her poems.
Upon hearing the young master's voice, they all turned to look in the direction of the sound.
"Is that the legendary Miss Ye?" A man standing next to him whispered to his companion, "She really is as beautiful as the rumors say."
Another man looked at Ye Lingwei not far away and replied softly, "Miss Ye is not only beautiful, but also has outstanding talent."
On the other side, someone was saying, "I've long heard that Miss Ye is the most beautiful woman in the capital. I'm so glad to meet her today. She truly lives up to her reputation. She has a gentle and elegant appearance and is a stunning beauty."
The companion beside her sighed softly, "I just wonder what kind of man would be worthy of her."
His companion patted him on the shoulder and joked, "Brother, give it a try, you might still have a chance!"
"No, no, look at the gentlemen beside her. Each one is imposing and handsome, none of them are comparable to us."
"Stop looking, let's go take a look and evaluate their poems."
They were all curious about the poems written by Ye Lingwei, and the crowd gradually gathered towards the place where the poems were displayed.
After reading her poems, everyone exclaimed in admiration, praising her talent and calling her a beautiful woman who possessed both beauty and talent.
Some people came specifically to catch a glimpse of Ye Lingwei's beauty. Such a beautiful and charming woman rarely appears in public, so how could they miss the opportunity to take a good look?
Faced with the praise from the crowd, Ye Lingwei simply smiled faintly and did not take these compliments to heart.
She had no interest in listening to others' praise; it was all fleeting to her. Compared to others' flattery, she wanted Xiao Han's affirmation more. She secretly glanced at Xiao Han standing on the other side.
"Miss, shall we go over now?" Zi Guang looked at Long Chuqing beside her and asked softly.
When Long Chuqing and Ziguang returned, they saw from afar that Xiao Han was accompanied by several strangers.
Then they saw the literati and scholars flocking towards where they were.
Upon seeing this, Long Chuqing and Ziguang stopped in their tracks and stood there watching, debating whether they should go over now.
Long Chuqing remained calm, gently stroking her chin as she fell into a brief moment of contemplation.
She wondered to herself, should she go over and say hello to all these unfamiliar people?
Just as she was hesitating about whether to go over, Qingying saw them.
He had an excited expression on his face, waving at them and shouting at the top of his lungs, "Miss Long, we're here!" He then turned to Xiao Han beside him and said, "Master, Miss Long and the others are back."
Long Chuqing, who had been stroking his chin, slowly moved his hand to his forehead and gently touched it, muttering, "Why is this kid shouting so loudly!"
She had just been thinking of sneaking over later! But now she could only suppress her helplessness and put on a calm expression.
She turned to Ziguang and said, "Ziguang, let's go over there!"
Upon hearing Qingying's shout, Xiao Han immediately looked in the direction he was pointing.
Seeing Long Chuqing walking slowly towards him, a faint smile instantly appeared on his originally calm face, and his eyebrows and eyes softened considerably.
Ye Lingwei, who was standing to the side, had been watching Xiao Han closely from the beginning. She happened to see the subtle change in his expression and subconsciously followed his gaze.
Qingying's sudden shout instantly drew everyone's attention, and almost simultaneously, everyone turned to look in the direction where Long Chuqing was.
In the distance, a woman wearing a white cloak was seen walking gracefully towards them with light steps.
Just like the saying goes, "With light steps, she moves like a willow swaying in the wind; with a delicate face, she appears like a fairy in a painting."
As they drew closer, the crowd was able to see her clearly and exclaim in surprise at her beauty.
The woman before him had skin as white as snow, delicate and smooth, and even without makeup, she was breathtakingly beautiful.
The literati and scholars present were all staring blankly at her, their eyes unblinking, and some even began to whisper among themselves.
Someone unfolded an exquisite folding fan and fanned himself a few times in the cold air. However, after only a couple of fannings, he felt a chill and awkwardly put it away, playing with it in his hand. "This young lady is even more beautiful and charming than Miss Ye."
Someone nearby chimed in, "Yes! We've never seen her before, nor have we ever heard of her. We wonder which family's young lady she is."
Someone nearby slapped their forehead and said, "I feel like I've seen this girl somewhere before. Oh right... I remember now, it was at Qinlan Teahouse."
"Now that you mention it, I do remember. I was having tea with a few gentlemen on the second floor when I heard a commotion downstairs. I curiously peeked out and saw her. I was so struck by her stunning beauty that I remember her very clearly. It was this young lady."
After he finished speaking, the man unfolded his folding fan and unconsciously fanned himself a couple of times. He didn't care if he was cold or not; he just wanted that feeling.
"That's right, there was quite a commotion in the teahouse at the time! But she didn't stay for tea and left in a hurry!"
Ye Lingwei also stared at Long Chuqing, and at the same time glanced at Xiao Han beside her. She saw that he looked at the woman in front of him with a gentle expression and a smile.
Her eyes darkened, her expression instantly turning somber, and a surge of jealousy welled up within her.
Ye Lingya looked at Long Chuqing and couldn't help but marvel inwardly. There was actually a woman even more beautiful than her eldest sister. She then glanced at Ye Lingwei, who was standing to the side with her eyes lowered.
Long Chuqing slowly walked to their side, a faint smile appearing on her lips. She glanced at Xiao Han beside her and gave him a meaningful look.
Seeing this, Xiao Han introduced them to her one by one. He looked at Prince Rui beside him and said, "This is my second brother, Xiao Yin, and this is my second sister-in-law."
Princess Rui smiled gently and said softly, "My name is Feng Yiqiu."
Xiao Han then turned to Prince Qi and Prince Xuan beside him and continued to introduce them: "These two are my fifth brother, Xiao Mo, and my sixth brother, Xiao Can. You have met these two before."
He then looked at Ye Lingwei and Ye Lingya beside him, and after a moment of silence, continued to introduce them, "These two are Miss Ye from the Prime Minister's residence."
Xiao Han then introduced to everyone: "This is my friend, Long Chuqing."
Long Chuqing nodded slightly to everyone, smiled politely, and waved to them, saying, "Hello! My name is Long Chuqing, it's nice to meet you all."
Everyone responded politely, smiling and greeting her with "Hello."
