Bai Chuwan was furious, secretly hating Bai Chudie for not being able to accomplish anything, but for causing her to fall into the water. However, by some strange coincidence, she had become one step closer to the prince. But she still didn't want to speak for her. She was just a concubine's daughter born to a maid.

"Your Highness, Sister Zhirou has wronged Chu Wan. Chu Wan also fell into the water, how could it be my order? Besides, I brought my concubine sister here because my eldest sister just returned to the capital, and I wanted more sisters to accompany her. The sisters are all disciplined by my eldest sister, so how can Chu Wan make the decision?"

Bai Chuxiao sneered. This Bai Chuwan was really unwilling to give up. She had to pull herself up and throw dirty water on herself. "Greetings, the eldest princess. Chuxiao just returned to the capital. How could she have the opportunity to discipline her sisters? They were all raised by Aunt Xie in the mansion. This time, it was indeed my Bai Mansion that did not discipline them strictly. After returning, I will report to my father and severely punish my fourth sister. In the future, Chuxiao will also strictly discipline my sisters. I hope the eldest princess will forgive me."

The eldest princess felt relieved after hearing this. She felt that it was rare for the Bai family to have a sensible person, so she smiled and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. After the banquet, I will write to the left prime minister to explain the reason. You are a sensible person. You should teach them well in the future."

He glanced at Bai Chuwan and Li Zhirou again and said calmly, "Let's end this matter here. You can all go back and sit down. We have already wasted quite a bit of time."

He looked at the veiled woman and motioned her to come over, then introduced her to everyone, "This is Princess Lingxiang from Southern Xinjiang. This time she is here to meet the young men of the various families in our Great Xia capital."

The men in the seats were all looking at Princess Lingxiang. Although she was wearing a veil, her charming figure showed that she must be a beauty.

Princess Lingxiang bowed to everyone according to the Southern Xinjiang custom and said, "Lingxiang is honored to meet you all. Today, I will present to you my Southern Xinjiang Star-Stepping Dance."

After she finished speaking, she clapped her hands. Two maids, also dressed in southern Xinjiang costumes, came in holding zithers. As the zithers played, Princess Lingxiang danced in the center of the field. The music suddenly became faster. She stretched out her long sleeves and her body spun around. Then she spun faster and faster. She was wearing a blue exotic dress that fluttered in the wind, like a fairy.

After the dance, the audience burst into applause. The crown prince also clapped and praised, "Princess Lingxiang danced very well."

Princess Lingxiang bowed, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your praise," and turned to the women's seat on the right.

Laughing, "Ling Xiang heard that the champion of the last Spring Banquet was also a very good dancer. I wonder if Ling Xiang will have the honor to see it today."

Liu Shuyao was the first to laugh when she heard this, "The one Princess Lingxiang is talking about is the Second Miss Bai. The Second Miss Bai will naturally not refuse." Then she pointed to Bai Chuwan.

Bai Chuwan had seen Princess Lingxiang's dance, so how could she dare to go up? This Liu Shuyao was clearly trying to provoke her to go up and compete in dancing so that she could make a fool of herself.

She stood up and said with a smile, "Princess Lingxiang, I'm so sorry. Chu Wan also wanted to dance with you, but I happened to fall into the water today and I'm feeling a little unwell. I really can't do it. But my elder sister is much better than me, but she has never shown it. Why don't you let my elder sister dance for Wan'er today?"

Bai Chuxiao really thought that her second sister was sick. Why did she always involve her in everything? After today, she must find an opportunity to teach her a lesson.

Seeing Princess Lingxiang looking over, she waved her hands calmly and said nonchalantly, "Princess Lingxiang, I can't dance."

"Miss Bai, you are joking. Ling Xiang heard that you are the fiancée of King Yan. King Yan has an excellent figure and is regarded as a good man by our southern border. How come you, her fiancée, can't even dance?" Ling Xiang asked in surprise.

What a good boy! Nanjiang was defeated by King Yan, and he forced her to come to Daxia to marry. She hated King Yan so much, but she wanted to take this opportunity to humiliate Bai Chuxiao and disgust King Yan.

Zhao Sifang had reminded her before, so Bai Chuxiao naturally would not ignore Princess Lingxiang's hostility, and simply replied indifferently, "Who says that everyone has to know how to dance? I just can't."

Princess Ling Xiang still refused to give up, "Then I wonder what Miss Bai can do. Ling Xiang has touched on some of them. Miss Bai can choose what she is best at. Ling Xiang will definitely accompany her. Miss Bai can't be completely incompetent, right?"

Bai Chuxiao cursed in her heart, what a lunatic, what was she best at? That was killing people, she just wanted to take these annoying people to a deserted place and beat them up, so that they wouldn't make trouble every day, of course, this idea was just a thought in her mind

She stood up and said, "Princess Lingxiang said so, so Chu Xiao will present a piece of pipa music to everyone." Chu Tianze looked at Bai Chu Xiao with a smile on her face and couldn't help looking forward to it.

The eldest princess then ordered her maid to fetch the pipa. Bai Chuxiao sat in the center of the field, holding the pipa. She was going to play "Ten Sides of Ambush", which was her favorite song in her past and present lives. As her fingers flickered, a sound of the piano with thousands of troops attacking on the battlefield slowly spread. As the sound of the piano rose and fell, everyone present seemed to feel as if they were on the battlefield at this moment.

The sound of the zither was majestic and continuous. Chu Tianze looked at the person in the center of the field, who was wearing a green dress and had sharp eyes, and was playing the zither quickly. His eyes showed appreciation. Only someone like him who had really fought on the battlefield could truly appreciate the meaning of this piece of music. At this moment, he just wanted to go to the palace to thank his mother for helping him to find such an excellent woman.

When the song ended, there was endless applause. Qi Wang Chu Tianling actually spoke first, "Miss Bai's song is excellent. I have never heard such a song before. Miss Bai is really talented!"

Chu Tianze glanced coldly at his sixth brother. He'd better not have any thoughts about Chu Xiao, otherwise he would never let him go.

Bai Chuxiao looked at Princess Lingxiang and smiled softly, "Princess, would you like to play another song?"

Princess Lingxiang was extremely surprised. The song just now seemed to remind her of the defeat of Southern Xinjiang a month ago. She felt bad when she heard it, so she had to force a smile. "Miss Bai's song is very exquisite. Lingxiang feels inferior to her, so she will not perform any more rudely."

The eldest princess was also amazed, and couldn't help but miss her mother a little. Back then, her mother was also...

"Chu Xiao, come here." Then he handed her an exquisite phoenix hairpin and said with a smile, "This was given to me by my mother. I give it to you today. It can also be used as a wedding gift for you and your seventh brother in the future."

Bai Chuxiao was surprised. This was the former queen's thing. How could she give it to her? "Princess, this is too precious. Chuxiao is ashamed to accept it."

The eldest princess smiled and said, "It's okay. I feel that I have a connection with you today. Please accept it. You can also come to the princess's mansion more often in the future."

Bai Chuxiao couldn't refuse anymore, so she smiled and said, "Thank you, Princess."

Chu Tianze also stood up and returned the greeting, "Thank you, big sister."

"Okay, we are all family from now on, no need to be restrained." The other noble ladies were envious when they saw this scene. The things of the late queen were extremely precious.

The eldest princess continued calmly, "This year will not be like previous years. This time, each young man and young lady will choose one of calligraphy, painting, and poetry. It will take one stick of incense, and then I and several brothers and sisters will judge it comprehensively."
