There is a courtyard in the Changping Lord's Mansion, with green grass and flowers in full bloom, it is a beautiful spring time.

Mi Lian was humming a ballad softly and dancing gracefully, like a lotus flower emerging from water, tall and graceful, dignified and beautiful.

Su Xuan stopped not far away and walked towards the sound.

He was invited by Changping Jun on his way back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As Su Xuan approached, a graceful and charming woman came into his sight.

She was wearing a long dress with off-shoulder, wide-sleeved and fitted skirt, the hem of which was embroidered with golden cloud patterns. Her slender waist was tied with a pink belt, which perfectly showed off her slender and graceful figure.

Two blue silk ribbons are wrapped around her wrists, which are as white as frost and snow. She dances gracefully to the music, with a dignified posture, gorgeous dance moves, and elegant and smooth movements, like a beautiful poem. Only by feeling it carefully and reading it repeatedly can you understand its charm.

The dance music she played was the extremely famous "Exciting Dance" among the Chu dances. Its characteristics are dignified dance posture, steady breath, calmness without losing solemnity, and it requires every body part of the dancer to be in order and clear.

This is also the reason why most Qin fans in the original work think that her dancing skills are far inferior to those of Yan Lingji and Xue Nu.

Another characteristic of Chu dance is its long flowing sleeves and slender waist. The saying "The King of Chu loves thin waists, and there are many hungry people in the palace" has been passed down from the time of King Ling of Chu to the present day.

After the dance, Mi Lian stood up and looked at the green plum tree not far away. She couldn't help but think of the scene when she secretly watched him a few days ago.

Thinking about it now, she still feels a little shy. A beautiful curve appeared at the corner of her mouth, but it soon turned into a trace of sadness.

She suddenly recalled the poem "Picking Plum Blossoms" from the Book of Songs.

With her status, she will definitely get married before she turns 20, but what if the man is not her lover?

Mi Lian, oh Mi Lian, you are so greedy. You enjoy wealth and glory, but still want to have a love that is mutual.

Anyone who can receive such treatment must be very lucky, right?

The inner rationality suppressed the inner emotions and impulses, but the throbbing in the girl's heart could never fade away.

Maybe many years later, it will become the most beautiful memory. Maybe by then, she will no longer care and will just laugh it off.

But now it is always lingering in my mind.

clap clap clap!

"Cheers!" Accompanied by crisp applause, a handsome man walked into the garden full of spring scenery.

He had a smile as warm as the spring breeze on his face.

"There is a beautiful person, with a gentle and melodious voice,

The eyes are bright and charming, and the cheeks are full of power.

She is beautiful and graceful, with a calm and relaxed demeanor.

Huarong is so graceful that one forgets to eat. "

"Miss Mi Lian, long time no see." He greeted her generously.

Mi Lian placed one hand on her lower abdomen and covered her lips with the other hand, her face looking extremely delicate and charming.

When did he come here? Could it be that he saw everything I was dancing just now?

Thinking of this, she inexplicably felt a sense of shame, but soon Su Xuan's words of praise rang in her ears again.

She only knew that the first sentence came from the Book of Songs, and she couldn't find the source of the rest.

Did he do it specifically for himself?

She felt inexplicably happy, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a graceful smile, and bowed slightly, "Mi Lian greets the Prime Minister."

Su Xuan smiled and shook his head. "You and I are only a few years apart in age. We don't have to be equal in position. We can just treat each other as people of the same age."

Mi Lian's face turned even redder, but she was very excited in her heart. As people of the same age, did this mean that he also treated her...

She raised her eyes, glanced at him secretly, then lowered them again. If they were people of the same age, how should she address him?

Brother Su Xuan?

She felt inexplicably ashamed and unable to speak.

"The Chu State is adjacent to the Yangtze River and has many forests and mountains, so the people of Chu have a romantic atmosphere." Su Xuan looked at Mi Lian intently, "I have always heard that the women of Chu are reserved, dignified, and beautiful. Now that I have seen Miss Mi Lian, I know how beautiful the women of Chu are."

He had a warm smile on his face and spoke confidently without any restraint.

Mi Lian looked at him, a little dazed, and mustered up some courage, and said, "Thank you Su Xuan... Big Brother for the compliment!"

"Is Brother Su Xuan here today?" she asked curiously.

"Changping Jun's warm invitation is hard to refuse." Su Xuan answered while teasing, "Of course, I also want to meet the woman who secretly looked at me behind the plum tree at the banquet that day."

Damn!

Mi Lian cried out inwardly, feeling a little confused. She stamped her feet lightly, lowered her head, and wished she could cover it with her hands.

How could you just say it out loud! It's really too embarrassing!

"Now I have also secretly watched Miss Mi Lian's dance, so we are even." Looking at Mi Lian's appearance, Su Xuan couldn't help but smile.

Mi Lian finally came to her senses. Yes, he also secretly looked at her, so why should she be shy?

He was so open and frank, so she naturally had to respond with the same attitude. So she plucked up her courage, raised her head, and looked directly at Su Xuan without any hesitation.

There seemed to be a faint smile on his face from beginning to end.

Mi Lian subconsciously raised the corner of her mouth, thinking that it was actually quite good to just look at him quietly.

"Lian'er!" A voice came from afar. Mi Lian's expression straightened up. The person coming was his father Mi Qi.

"Father." Mi Lian replied.

"My Lord Prime Minister, I've been waiting for a long time but haven't seen you. I was wondering where you went. It turns out you're here." Mi Qi's tone sounded slightly complaining.

Su Xuan smiled slightly, "It's really because Sister Mi Lian's singing voice is so moving that I came here following the sound."

Sister Mi Lian?

Mi Qi was slightly stunned. He glanced at the shy Mi Lian and his mood became extremely complicated.

His daughter, Mi Qi, was, after all, a lady of high family and nobility, but the two had only met for a few moments and judging from his daughter's appearance, it seemed that she had already fallen in love with him.

It seems that the Prime Minister is not only good at government affairs, but also has great speaking skills.

"I wanted to introduce you to each other, but now it seems that it is not necessary." Mi Qi smiled and shook his head, then looked at Mi Lian, "When you are free, you can go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit the Prime Minister. Since you two call each other brother and sister, you should communicate more."

Mi Lian was stunned for a moment, then her eyes brightened.

Her father took the initiative to ask her to visit Su Xuan. Was he trying to bring her and Su Xuan together?

"Yes, Father." She nodded quickly.

"Prime Minister Mi, why did you come to see me today? I wonder what it is about?" Su Xuan asked about the business.

Mi Qi pondered for a moment. On the one hand, he went to find Su Xuan to introduce Mi Lian to him, and on the other hand, of course, he wanted to deepen the relationship between them.

As the best spy, he knows that only by gaining full trust can he get what he wants from others.

Before that, revealing one's ambitions too early might easily alert the enemy.

Just as he was about to speak, a servant who looked like a manager walked over quickly with steady steps. He first glanced at Su Xuan, then whispered a few words in his ear. After he finished speaking, Changping Jun's face changed drastically.

He tried his best to act as if nothing had happened, and said with a bow, "My Lord Xiangbang, I am very sorry. My subordinates just told me that there is an urgent matter that I need to deal with. Mi Qi cannot accompany you for the time being, but I will come to apologize another day. I hope that my Lord Xiangbang will understand."

Su Xuan, who knew the inside story, laughed inwardly, knowing that his crime had been exposed, but on the surface he pretended to be concerned, "Prime Minister Mi, do you need my help? If you need help, just let me know."

He waved his hand, and his expression seemed to say, your business is my business, no need to be polite.

How could Mi Qi tell Su Xuan about such a confidential and important matter? He smiled politely and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Prime Minister. Next time if there is anything important, I will definitely ask you."

After that, the two exchanged some pleasantries, and Mi Qi took his leave.

After that, Su Xuan teased Mi Lian for a while, made an appointment with her to go outing together next time, and then said goodbye and left.
