Only such a special person could possibly conquer this son’s icy heart.
"Ah, here she cos, it’s the daughter of the Governor of Ye City, Yun Qingqing." Another lady beside her whispered, her tone sowhat appreciative, "She is a famous beauty in the Imperial City, so stunning and bold at such a young age, extroverted and passionate. She will surely lt your son’s heart, which is harder than a diamond."
The Councilman’s wife’s eyes lit up as she saw a beautiful and bold young girl gracefully lifting her skirt with noble etiquette, walking towards Ling Kong elegantly and inviting him to dance with poise.
She wasn’t familiar with this Yun Qingqing, as she had been living in seclusion and rarely attended high society gatherings over the years. However, the Governor of Ye City was a noble of the empire with a sufficiently illustrious reputation, and the daughter he taught should be quite good.
She carefully observed Yun Qingqing and saw her charming and lovely face, her shining eyes, passionate yet not lacking in manners, indicating she was a well-educated and courteous young lady, prompting a silent nod of approval.
Moreover, this girl’s brown hair, shimring with a diamond-like luster, indeed drew attention.
This indicated Yun Qingqing was healthy and fertile.
Alas, although she didn’t want to judge a girl by such cold-hearted standards, given that the Helian Family was a prominent family, naturally, they didn’t want to be left without descendants, so choosing a daughter-in-law required caution.
Yun Qingqing lifted her skirt with both hands, looking up at Ji Lingkong, montarily blushing as she t his gaze. So handso, even more breathtaking than from a distance, the impact was so powerful she felt her heart was about to leap out.
Since one ti at a banquet, when she caught a glimpse of his profile from afar, she was astonished by his god-like appearance and could never forget him. Compared to the diocre and vulgar n in the Imperial City, he was like a pinnacle of snow, noble and ethereal, deserving of admiration and reverence.
She truly longed to beco his bride.
"Ling, Young Master Ling Kong, please dance with !" Being gazed upon by his foggy and lustrous black eyes, the usually bold and proud Yun Qingqing stamred with nerves.
Before Ji Lingkong could reply, a stunningly beautiful woman suddenly appeared, rushing forward to take the spot.
"Young Master Ling Kong, please honor with a dance!"
Yun Qingqing turned her head in astonishnt, seeing a glamorous young lady from Yalan snaking her way up to compete with her, feeling greatly indignant.
This ill-mannered woman from Yalan, only from a aided poor country, dared to seize her opportunity when others didn’t even have the courage to co forward to invite him. Was she worthy of soone as noble as Young Master Ling Kong?
"I invited first, if Young Master Ling Kong would agree, he should agree to ," she glared angrily at the shaless woman.
The young lady’s indifferent expression, smiling charmingly: "This is a friendly banquet between two countries. Dancing with won from our Yalan is about exchanging friendship, naturally, you should dance with . Are you trying to obstruct the friendship between our two countries?"
"You... what nonsense are you talking about?" Yun Qingqing’s face changed abruptly, looking extrely unpleasant.
The two won confronted each other fiercely, glaring at each other like two she-wolves fighting over food, making the scene sowhat unsightly.
Ji Lingkong looked on calmly with cold eyes, his lips as graceful as a flowing moon, faintly showing a shallow sarcasm.
Won bickering out of jealousy was really boring, but it’s just as well. Their quarrel conveniently caused a stir, saving him from having to participate himself, as he genuinely had no interest in dancing with either of these won, it was utterly dull.
