Today was Imperial Palace's yearly palace banquet. The various nobles and nobles in Xilan would appear and build up their relationship at the same time, allowing their children to understand each other and communicate with each other, trying to form a marriage with each other.

Gu Ling Xue raised her eyebrows, as if she had a bad premonition.

"Yo, isn't he the famous trash of the Gu Family, to actually come to participate in the palace banquet?" A sharp, mocking laugh broke through the crowd and entered Gu Ling Xue's ears and everyone's ears.

Everyone looked over to see a gorgeous and beautiful figure standing in front of them. The gorgeous clothes were red and eye-catching, but the pure white dress gave people a feeling of familiarity.

The crowd broke out into a flurry of discussion.

"I wonder which family's girl she is from, to be able to attract so much attention in front of so many people. How shameless."

"So rude, so rude."

"I heard that she is a girl from the Prime Minister's family. It seems like she is only mediocre."

All of a sudden, unpredictably, all the people started pointing their spears towards the source of the sound. Under the pointed fingers of the crowd, the face of Miaomiao instantly turned red.

"Why are you pointing at me? She's the trash."

However, the feeble words were like stones that sank into the ocean, unable to stir up any waves.

Gu Ling Xue watched from afar, the corners of her mouth curled into a cold smile.

She shook her head and walked over to the party, ignoring the baring of teeth and claws.

The first time he tried using the summoning technique, he was actually so successful. Although it was slightly bewitching, it was all based on the pure and innocent hearts of those ladies. If it was a group of men, they probably wouldn't be able to control it.

Entering the hall, Gu Ling Xue noticed that the people from Gu Family were already seated. In the distance, Gu Ling Shu kept waving at him.

She sat down beside Gu Ling Shu, took a sip of the tea, and quietly listened to his nagging.

"Why did you come out after eating just one mouthful?"

"You didn't even have time to change into the dress I prepared for you before you ran off, yet your temper is still so wild."

"You must be exhausted after such a long journey. Quickly drink some tea and clear your mouth."

"Are you hungry?"

Gu Ling Xue patiently listened to Gu Ling Shu's nagging, and lightly smiled without answering.

This feeling seemed to be not bad.

It was a feeling that someone cared about him.

Gu Ling Hua sat not far from the two of them, and glared at Gu Ling Shu who was constantly asking him questions. It was hard to calm down.

In's position as the direct daughter, all his love should be hers!

It's all because of her, Gu Ling Xue! Snatching away everything that should have belonged to her, she hated her, this pain that would forever be embedded in her heart, this lowly status.

This will all belong to me! Gu Ling Xue, you are about to lose everything!

Gu Ling Hua thought angrily, but recently, a strange change had appeared in her mind, but Gu Ling Hua did not think deeply, she was filled with anger and hatred. Very quickly, she tossed that thought to the back of her mind.

Gu Ling Xue, why are you not dead yet?

"There's nothing urgent to discuss in this banquet today." A delicate and pretty voice broke the silence in the hall. A handsome man wearing a yellow robe sat on the dragon throne. "Please enjoy the music and dance for a taste. This is the main purpose of today's banquet."

The man smiled warmly, but his eyes didn't have a single trace of warmth as he sized up the area.

"Thank you, Emperor." After everyone heard the man speak, they cupped their fists in front of their chest and bowed their heads to complete the necessary etiquette. Only Gu Ling Xue was still sitting in his original position without a trace of him wanting to move at all.

Mu Rong Hong Yu looked at the audience and suddenly stopped, his gaze fixed on the fearless Gu Ling Xue, his heart steeling. He called Shun Zi who was beside him and asked, "What is the name of that lady?"

"Return to Emperor." A shrill voice that carried the unique scent of a eunuch sounded, and replied, "She is the person from Gu Family that you are about to grant your marriage to, Gu Ling Xue."

"Oh? "I am confused."

Gu Ling Xue noticed a gaze looking at her, and she immediately turned to look at Mu Rong Hong Yu, their gazes interweaving.

In a split-second, sparks flew between the two of them.

Gu Ling Xue's eyes tensed up, looking at Mu Rong Hong Yu's face, the face of another person appeared in his mind, a familiar figure.

Mu Rong Hong Yu seemed to have sensed something, as he looked away unhurriedly, and spoke after circling around the plaza.

"Rise."

A thought flashed through Gu Ling Xue's mind, and then the figure in her mind became more and more blurry. Gu Ling Xue frowned, but just as she was about to ponder over it, the words from the man on the dragon chair interrupted her train of thoughts.

"With so many ladies present, I'm really going to squint at them. It would be great if any of the ladies were to come over and sing and dance for everyone." The Emperor's words caused everyone to nod repeatedly.

If she could get the recognition of the Emperor or some other lord at the palace banquet, her daughter would definitely have a bright future.

The ladies present were all eager to give it a try. However, just when everyone was ready to be the first one to fight for the throne, the Emperor spoke.

"Gu Ling Xue." The steady and melodious voice called out her name when Gu Ling Xue was not prepared. Gu Ling Xue instantly raised her head and looked towards the familiar yet unfamiliar man, waiting for to finish.

"What do you think?"

Gu Ling Xue was startled, then adjusted her posture and got up gracefully: "It is my honor to dance for Emperor."

As soon as his voice fell, noisy discussions sounded from within the crowd, and even though it was very soft, it was heard clearly by Gu Ling Xue.

"Tsk, just her? A trash who has yet to learn anything yet still wants to offer up a dance, you really aren't afraid of losing face for Gu Family. "

"That's right, the people sitting beside her are all from the Gu Family, and no one cares about her. She lost face in the palace banquet, I'm afraid she's going to make a big joke out of herself."

Gu Ling Xue snorted coldly, and walked to the center under the crowd's attentive gaze. Behind her, Gu Ling Shu's face was full of worry.

Ling Xue, who was she?

Gu Ling Hua covered the corner of her mouth and laughed. On the surface, it seemed as if she was pleased that her sister was recognized by the Emperor, but in reality, it was Gu Ling Hua who was laughing coldly in her heart.

Gu Ling Xue, the crime of bullying the monarch is a serious crime. I don't believe that a famed trash like you can dance like that.

Gu Ling Xue stood proudly in the middle of the crowd. She was dressed in a white dress with her waterfall like black hair carelessly draped over her shoulders, she was extremely lazy.

Her right hand rose slowly, her left hand swung to the left, proud as a white swan on a lake.

Suddenly, a loud and clear bell sound broke into everyone's eardrums, resonating in the hearts of everyone present. Following the sound of this steady bell, Gu Ling Xue slowly moved.

The melodious sound of the zither came from an unknown place, and was closely matched with the white swan dancing in the middle of the crowd. Her every move and smile was captivating, as if she was an angel that had fallen into the human world, warm and beautiful.

At this moment, there were no longer any discussions, no signs of contempt. There was only endless admiration and shock.

It was too beautiful!

The current Gu Ling Xue was like a man descended from heaven, proud and unparalleled.

Mu Rong Hong Yu was originally sitting upright on the Dragon Throne, but when the bell chimed and danced, he immediately stood up, and then realized that he had lost control and immediately sat back down on the Dragon Throne, a strange feeling surged in his heart.
