"Ayun, it seems that you are not much behind." Mu Yao raised the corners of her lips slightly with a faint smile.

The women downstairs who were staring at their fiancés in fascination made her suddenly think of Chu Manman and Gu Huiran.

Mu Yao looked around cautiously, hoping that she would not encounter any princess bullies trying to steal her husband today. If such a beautiful scenery was destroyed, she would be in a bad mood.

Helian Yun's originally straightened mouth corners slightly curled up when he heard that. He stretched out his right arm towards her slender waist, grasped it, and pulled it into his arms.

He looked around in a good mood and said loudly, "The Sandalwood Lantern Festival in Lingxiao Tower is held once a year. I believe you have been looking forward to it for a long time. Instead of staring at my husband and me, it would be more fun to appreciate the beautiful scenery behind us, play with lanterns, guess lantern riddles, and win prizes."

The originally noisy crowd suddenly became quiet, and then began to boil again like a volcanic eruption.

"What does he mean? So what if he is the fairy's husband! Is he protesting to us?"

"That's right, this guy is so bad, he wants to monopolize the fairy! Look, isn't the other fairy also his wife? It's amazing, this guy has two wives! I heard that the emperor only has two wives in his harem."

"I'm ignorant. Polygamy is common in many places."

"I'm attracted to her. I want to be the fairy's husband."

"The fairy has a husband, and you are at most a servant."

"What do you know? If a fairy takes a liking to me, it's not impossible for her to find me a common husband someday."

Several noble ladies in the crowd listened to the noise, their eyes filled with jealousy.

Among them, there was a noble lady wearing coral pink clothes, a light grey silk belt around her waist, and a light grey veil on her head. She stood on the top of the lantern tower facing the wind, looking at Mu Yao and the others opposite with an arrogant look, and said in a disdainful tone: "Are you so sure that under that veil, there must be a beauty that can topple a country?"

The tinkling sound like a piano rose up and echoed in the air, making the unmarried men feel excited. In an instant, all eyes turned to the pink color.

Her pink dress embroidered with koi carps fluttered in the wind. Under the red light, it seemed as if countless koi carps were surrounding her body, illuminating her whole body as bright as red clouds.

"Look, it's the daughter of the Zhou family, Zhou Xinxu! She's here too!"

"When did Miss Zhou come? Why didn't I see her just now?"

"Brother, how did you know she was Zhou Xinxu?"

Li Chun stared at the people around him as if they were idiots. He pointed a finger in Zhou Xinxu's direction with disdain and said, "Open your eyes and look carefully. Are the three people behind her Yan Siqing, Wu Yunyu and Li Mingzhu?"

Several people half-closed their eyes and carefully captured the figures of the three people. They were not wearing veils, and each of them proudly raised their pretty faces, enjoying the admiration from all sides.

"It's really them! The three beauties of Wutai County are here, and the remaining one is Miss Zhou Xinxu! How lucky I am today to see the four beauties of Wutai County on the same stage!"

"Ms. Zhou, Ms. Zhou, look at me, look at me!"

The crowd erupted in thunderous cheers, making Mu Yao feel as if she was attending a fan meeting with a top star.

Helian Qing leaned over to Mu Yao and whispered, "Yaoyao, did you hear that? They said those four are the four beauties of Wutai County?" She stared at the three very ordinary faces without blinking, and then moved her eyes to the chests of several people, each of which was as plump as a jade rabbit, making Helian Qing jealous. Then she snorted sourly, "I didn't expect you all can eat so much."

"Hehehe." Mu Yao was amused by her future sister-in-law and laughed like a silver bell. Her laughter was graceful, delicate and soft, which made Helian Yun's breathing become heavier and hotter. He tightened his hands on her waist, causing Mu Yao to snort softly. She turned her head away angrily and said coquettishly: "It hurts!"

The intimacy between the two was extremely glaring in Zhou Xinxu's eyes. Everyone knew her reputation in Wutai County, and the handsome man opposite had never looked at her, always staring at the woman beside him with a smile on his face.

Zhou Xinxu had been pampered for sixteen years. There were countless handsome men who tried their best to show their affection to her, but none of them was as dazzling as the one in front of her.

So what if he's already married, she wants him!

"Hey, aren't you ashamed to act coquettishly in front of your husband in public?" Zhou Xinxu asked jealously.

The surroundings instantly fell silent, and everyone followed the beauty's gaze and moved towards Mu Yao. A few of them, with jealous eyes, echoed each other, saying, "That's right, too shameless, acting like a spoiled child without considering the occasion. Can't you go home and lock the door? How vulgar."

"Yes, he must have been spoiled at home and has become lawless. He wants to show off when he comes out."

Seeing these crazy people suddenly targeting his wife, Helian Yun's face instantly turned cold to ice, his lacquer-like pupils gathered a dangerous storm, and he said bluntly: "Is this the cultivation of the noble ladies of Wutai County? How does the interaction between me and my wife bother you? My wife just said one word, but you said a lot. I saw that some of you have a lot of men standing beside you, I guess they are your husbands, right? My dear men, are you going to let my wife make a loud noise in public, talk nonsense, and embarrass herself?"

The ladies had never been ridiculed like this in public, let alone being scolded by such a handsome man. Their faces turned red and they were at a loss. The married ladies hid in their arms and sobbed softly.

"What you said is too much, sir! Even if my wife said something inappropriate, you should at least show some respect for her." The husband of one of the women in yellow couldn't bear to see his wife crying, so he retorted.

Helian Yun was so angry that he laughed at his shameless words. It was true that people were divided into groups and people from the same family would enter the same door together.

Before he could say anything, Helian Qing interrupted him, "Are you sick? Why should my brother give face to your wife? Your wife's mouth stinks, can't you smell it? If you keep licking her, you will be divorced sooner or later. I think your wife is a jealous woman, jealous of my sister-in-law's figure, eating in the bowl and thinking about the pot, and having wild thoughts about my elder brother. Is my elder brother something you ordinary people can dream of? Why don't you take a look in the mirror, don't you know what you look like? You can only show off in such a small place. If you have the ability, go to Beijing and compete!" As he said that, he raised a white finger and pointed at the culprit in pink on the opposite building.

"You were the one who started it! I heard that you are the leader of the four beauties in Wutai County? Your name is Zhou Xinxu? We came from Shangjing, but we have never heard of your name. It seems that you are only good at bullying in this small place."

"What did you say!" Zhou Xinxu's delicate body trembled slightly due to anger, and her plump breasts rose and fell, causing all the boys to stare in amazement.

Seeing that the two siblings were so powerful that she had no chance to play, Mu Yao quietly ate melons. Looking at the obsessed eyes of the boys downstairs, Mu Yao couldn't help but agree with Helian Qing's words. Seafood is indeed more nutritious than other meats, and they eat it very well.

When fairies fight, mortals watch.

There were fairies on both sides, and the men dared not offend any of them. They watched the battle quietly and tacitly.

The three noble ladies behind Zhou Xinxu had all moved to the front of the fence. Among them, Li Mingzhu had the best relationship with Zhou Xinxu. Seeing her friend being scolded and unable to say a word, she helped to refute: "You sound so beautiful? Aren't you wearing a veil and can't show your true face? If you have the guts, take off the veil and let's compare!"

Seeing that Helian Qing didn't say anything, Li Mingzhu thought that the truth had been revealed, and her aura instantly rose eight degrees. She looked at the other two people beside her and shouted, "Turns out he's an ugly freak!"

Yan Siqing didn't want to get involved, but everyone knew that the four beauties of Wutai County were inseparable and worked together. It was not easy to remain silent at this time, so she could only say indifferently: "If you don't have the ability, don't humiliate yourself!" Zhou Xinxu showed her beauty at the age of six, and has been the most beautiful in Wutai County for nearly ten years. At least she has never seen anyone more beautiful than Zhou Xinxu.

Wu Yunyu had the worst relationship with Zhou Xinxu, and was the one who was most unwilling to accept it. She looked at the two graceful women opposite her with great interest, and her eyes flashed with brilliance. She puffed her big eyes, tilted her head mischievously and said, "Let's have a competition, what do you think?"

These words touched the hearts of the boys.

"it is good!"

“Let’s compare!”

The cheers and shouts were like the beating of drums shaking the sky.

These idiots!

Helian Qingmi's beautiful face was almost distorted under the veil, and she bit her lower lip tightly to suppress the twitching corners of her mouth.

The stampede at the Spring Banquet many years ago was still fresh in her memory. It was not that Helian Qing was bragging, her influence as the most beautiful woman in the capital was not to be underestimated. Although she was now ranked second.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Helian Yun protected the two of them and was about to leave.

"Are you scared? Or do you really have nothing but good looks?" Zhou Xinxu was in a good mood and challenged him in a loud voice.

Seeing that his sister was so excited that she wanted to turn back, Helian Yun said in a low voice: "Don't act on impulse. Summer insects can't talk about ice. Hurry up and leave."

"Stop them, don't let them leave! Whoever stops them, I will accept his invitation and drink tea and watch the moon with him!"

The group of men were instantly energized, and rushed towards the "Juyuan Building" one by one. Soon, the dark crowd spread to the second floor and blocked the exit tightly.

Zhou Xinxu's beauty has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Instead of thinking about the illusory "beautiful figure", it is better to reach out and touch the lovely woman. Any normal person would choose to stand on Zhou Xinxu's side without hesitation. After all, they are all of marriageable age, and it is extremely rare to get a close look at the noble lady on weekdays, not to mention the elegant things such as face-to-face conversation and moon-watching with the noble lady.

"Don't go too far!" Helian Yun shot a sharp look at Zhou Xinxu, his tone full of oppression. She was startled and her body swayed, and she took a half step back.

So fierce!

This was probably the first time that the four beauties in Wutai County had seen such murderous eyes, and a layer of sweat oozed from their soft hands.

But seeing so many men coming towards them, with a road between them, Zhou Xinxu's heart settled down again.

With so many of them, are they afraid of just three people?

"If the two of you don't take down the veils today, none of you will be able to leave." Zhou Xinxu suddenly said fiercely.

"Why don't you pick them? Are you too embarrassed to see others?" Mu Yao asked casually. She crossed her hands and rubbed them, moving her knuckles.

For such people who don't know the seriousness of the matter, just give them a beating.

Zhou Xinxu raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly when she heard that.

"Xinxu, let them see." Li Mingzhu said.

"Yes, let these frogs in the well see this for themselves." Wu Yunyu echoed from the side, which made Zhou Xinxu a little surprised and looked sideways.

Wu Yunyu felt guilty when she looked at him, and quickly explained: "Didn't you hear those people say that they were from Shangjing? My father came back from Shangjing a few days ago and said that he saw Feng Xuanyan, the second most beautiful woman in Shangjing. He said that she was a little prettier than you, which shows that you can be ranked among the most beautiful women in Shangjing, so don't worry."

"Did your father really say that?" Zhou Xinxu asked doubtfully. This man was really jealous of her beauty! Then his face darkened: What do you mean! What do you mean she is only a little prettier than Feng Xuanyan! Isn't this a roundabout way of saying that she is not as good as Feng Xuanyan!

"If you can't talk, shut up." Zhou Xinxu said bluntly. She glanced at Wu Yunyu with disdain. After all, she was a noble lady from a small family, so she had a foul mouth.

Wu Yunyu's eyes widened as she was choked by her, but she couldn't get angry with so many men around her, so she had to endure it with her cheeks flushed. Yan Siqing quietly took her hand hidden under her sleeve and gently caressed it, which made Wu Yunyu feel a little better.

Yan Siqing said with a fake smile: "Xinxu, Ah Yu has no ill intentions, she just speaks her mind a little too bluntly. She actually wants you to not worry about being outdone. Don't have too much pressure."

"You!" Zhou Xinxu's heart throbbed at his temples, and a strong desire to win burst out.

She suddenly turned to Mu Yao and the others, raised her slender jade fingers and gently stroked the edge of the hood.

It was quiet all around, and time seemed to have stopped at this moment.

Mu Yao even slowed down her breathing and tightened her shoulders slightly, waiting quietly for Zhou Xinxu to reveal his true face.

Helian Qing couldn't help but laugh when she saw Mu Yao's nervous look: What's there to look forward to? No matter how beautiful she is, she can't be more beautiful than you. Then she turned to look at the opposite building, with a wicked smile on her lips, looking at Zhou Xinxu as if he were a clown.

A light gray veil rose in the night sky, like smoke or fog.

Her face, like a lotus emerging from the water, blossomed in the brilliant lights; her three thousand black hairs were like dark clouds piled with snow, making her delicate face look as exquisite as a jade carving.

Mu Yao raised her eyebrows slightly, with a curious light in her eyes. She quietly approached Helian Qing and whispered, "Hey, is Shangjing's ranking accurate? Why do I think she is more beautiful than Feng Xuanyan?"

Helian Qingmi's expression was already petrified. Her bright eyes were wide open, staring at Zhou Xinxu in extreme shock. A strong sense of imbalance was spreading unscrupulously throughout her body.

She was about to cry. She was not only prettier than Feng Xuanyan, but even prettier than herself. Look at her hair volume, it was almost a circle thicker than hers.

She couldn't compare to this beauty, and she couldn't afford to lose face with this man.

"Yaoyao——"

"elder brother--"

Hearing Helian Qing's crying voice, Helian Yun looked at her coldly with cold eyes: "What are you doing?"

After being scolded by her elder brother, the slightly red corners of her eyes finally couldn't help but shed two drops of pearly tears.

Mu Yao heard her slight sniffling sound and shook off Helian Yun's big hand: "Why are you so fierce!"

Helian Yun's expression froze, he suppressed the serious look on his face, and tentatively hugged her back.

Mu Yao didn't want to pay attention to him, so she leaned towards Helian Qing and advised in a very low voice: "Yoyo, stop crying, let's find a way to leave first."

Helian Qing trembled in grievance and said, "Yaoyao, I can't compete with you. I'm afraid I have to rely on you."

"I think you are itching for trouble and want to get beaten!" Helian Yun shouted. He really regretted bringing her here. Even if he brought his mother, it would be more reliable than bringing this girl.
