It was chirping as it danced above Ning Meng Yao’s head. It then landed on Ning Meng Yao’s shoulder, and used it’s sharp beak to gently peck on Ning Meng Yao’s cheek.

Ning Meng Yao smiled: “You too, Go on and fly.”

The skylark tilted its head to look at Ning Meng Yao for some time until it finally stretched out its wings and flew away.

The crowd finally came to their senses after the skylark left, Nangong Che looked at Ning Meng Yao with a heated gaze.

Even though this woman was already somebody else’s wife, he wished to have her for himself.

The current him would probably act regardless of whoever it was.

Feng Shuo took a deep glance at Ning Meng Yao, he then turned his head, there was a mysterious glow in his eyes.

”Meng Yao, you’re really amazing, how did you do that?” Xiao Qi Tian’s eyes were shining as he looked at Ning Meng Yao, Qiao Tian Chang who was by the side was disgusted with his heated gaze towards her.

Qiao Tian Chang reached out his hand and pushed him away before saying while feeling disgusted: “Stay away from my wife.”

”Tian Chang, we are good brothers, I was simply curious, curious you know?” Xiao Qi Tian was really depressed as he looked at Qiao Tian Chang, he did not do anything, right? Why was this person feel so disgusted with him?

There were quite a number of daughters from various families performing after that, but nobody dared to play the zither. Under Ning Meng Yao’s radiance, who would dare play the zither to seek embarrassment?

However, Wei Ke Xin still played the zither when it was her turn, but not with the intention of provoking Ning Meng Yao. Instead, she did so in hopes that she may obtain some pointers from Ning Meng Yao.

When Ning Meng Yao heard Wei Ke Xin’s tune, her tune was filled with desperation and hope, which brilliantly expressed her current state of mind.

”I hope the General’s wife could give me some pointers,” Wei Ke Xin looked sincerely at Ning Meng Yao, nobody felt her gaze was provocative, but on the contrary, she had truly wished for Ning Meng Yao to give her pointers.

Ning Meng Yao looked at Wei Ke Xin, she had a better impression of her compared to Wei Zi Xin: “Your accomplishment in the zither is better than your average person. Listen more to the sounds of your surroundings and integrate that into your music,” Ning Meng Yao only said that much and no longer spoke.

Wei Ke Xin muttered Ning Meng Yao’s words in a soft voice, there was a sense of loss visible in her eyes, which then became clear to her. Ning Meng Yao was telling her to face her own heart and not to restrict herself, only then would she be able to play better.

”Thank you, Madam,” Wei Ke Xin thanked earnestly.

Wei Zi Xin had a gloomy expression when she looked at Wei Ke Xin: “Hypocrite.”

Wei Ke Xin currently no longer wished to argue with Wei Zi Xin, she simply returned to her own seat.

After the daughters of various families finished performing, Nangong Che suddenly stood up:” Emperor Xiao, by coming this time, my Imperial Father had mentioned that he hopes to have a marriage alliance with Xiao Empire to prosper together for the coming years.”

”Oh?” Xiao Qi Feng narrowed his eyes, has it indeed arrived? His gaze landed on Nangong Yue at the side: “I wonder which gentleman the Princess fancies?”

Nangong Yue looked at Qiao Tian Chang: “This Princess has taken a fancy to General Qiao.”

The moment her voice fell, the people present instantly became silent, they looked at the calm Qiao Tian Chang, they then looked at Nangong Yue who seemed to be thinking of something, they felt a chill in their hearts.

Although General Qiao did not do anything, the cold aura on him was not a joke, he was simply an existence who would simply take people’s lives.

Ning Meng Yao narrowed her eyes and looked at Nangong Yue: “So it seems the Princess from a neighboring empire likes married men.”

”It’s very normal for a man to have many wives and concubines,” Nangong Yue said, she didn’t place Ning Meng Yao’s sarcasm in her eyes.

However, Ning Meng Yao turned her head and looked at Qiao Tian Chang: “Tian Chang, do you think so too?”

Qiao Tian Chang gazed at Ning Meng Yao: “What nonsense? You’re the only one who’ll stand beside me. There will be no one else other than you, whoever tries, dies.”

Ning Meng Yao was satisfied, but Nangong Yue had furrowed her brows. Among all the people present, she had taken a fancy to Qiao Tian Chang alone, to her, that man was really a good man.

”You’re overly greedy.”

”So what? My husband does not mind,” Ning Meng Yao smiled at Nangong Yue.

Nangong Yue looked at Ning Meng Yao and wanted to continue talking, but she was interrupted by Feng Shuo who was by the side: “Since when has the Ling Empire’s Imperial Family been so embarrassing?”

”Feng Shuo, you better watch your words,” Nangong Che’s expression was cold as he stared at Feng Shuo.
