When they sat down, everyone directed their gazes towards the focus of today's festival, Young Master Xie and Princess Anping.

Young Master Xie's appearance was like jade, his aura was out of the ordinary. Not only his literary talent was outstanding, but even his skill on the martial arts side was pretty high. And Princess Anping was also exceptionally beautiful, her qin skill was superior, and she had the powerful emperor as her father. They were really a pair made by the heavens and arranged by the earth.

They couldn't be envious, they could only admire it, that's all.

One after the other, everyone began to praise, "Princess Anping and Young Master Xie are truly well-matched. Simply a pair made by the heavens and arranged by the earth!"

"Exactly, exactly! This is a shining example of a genius matched with a beauty1!"

In the middle of the admiring shouts, Liang Shao suddenly heard a young lady at his side saying to her friend, "Luckily the emperor changed the betrothal. This Young Master Xie clearly beats Liang Shao completely, right? I'm really jealous Princess Anping won such a good young master as her fiancé."

"I just heard that Liang Shao said only the most outstanding young lady under the heavens could match up to him. But he turned up his nose at Great Qi's princess; he also turned his nose up at noble young ladies. Instead he fell in love with a village girl. I originally thought that village girl couldn't match him. Thinking about it now, the two are really well-matched."

As they spoke, they covered their mouths and started to laugh. Liang Shao's eyebrows twitched, deep fury ambushing his thoughts. He forcefully gritted his teeth, his eyes completely red as if they were about to shoot sparks.

The sky was no longer bright. The eldest prince rose, smiling. "Today's Chrysanthemum Viewing Festival really was wonderful. Princess Anping won first place; you can select a pot of chrysanthemums first."

Xi Wen smiled secretly, the two dimples at the corners of her mouth faintly discernible. "I want that pot of green tree peonies."

Two servants carefully lifted the tree peonies and sent them to Xi Wen, handing them to her bodyguards. When the three young ladies ranked after her had picked the rest of the precious chrysanthemums, the eldest prince declared the festival over and everyone took their leave.Please read at yanyantls dot wordpress dot com

Liang Shao walked the fastest. He didn't have the heart to exchange polite greetings with the others. He didn't even wait for Chen Bing'er. His feet grew wings, leaving the courtyard in a few steps, getting on the carriage and leaving.

When Chen Bing'er went outside, she could only see the shadow of the carriage gradually getting further away. She could only hold back her tears and trot after it, shouting, "Liang-dage, wait for me, Liang-dage—"

Who knew if Liang Shao didn't hear her, or if he didn't want to come back? In the end, it was the eldest prince who assigned a carriage to send Chen Bing'er back to the residence.

When she returned to the residence, it was silent. Chen Bing'er grabbed the newly-appointed butler watching the gate and asked, "Has Liang-dage come back?"

The butler pointed at the back garden. Quietly, he said, "Master's face is ashen. As soon as he came back, he had people prepare a few jars of wine. Right now, he's in the house drinking."Please read at yanyantls dot wordpress dot com

Chen Bing'er nodded, turning to go to the kitchen. She knew Liang Shao's mood was extremely bad, but drinking on an empty stomach would hurt his health. He didn't eat much at the banquet either. He'd be hungry in the middle of the night.
