Reborn, I am doing involution on Jinshan

"Xiao Yue'er, did you three just return home today?" Dongfang Hao asked in a low voice.

"Yes, it is."

"You've been busy all day, so you're a little tired, aren't you?"

Ruiyue said, "It's okay. The full moon banquet will end in half an hour, so it should be over." Her eyes were a little dry and sore, so she rubbed them.

"Well, I think so. But the Queen Mother is in a good mood today, so it might not end so quickly. It should, definitely, disperse before curfew."

Seeing her thinking again, she rubbed her eyes.

"Don't rub it, it will hurt your eyes." Dongfang Hao grabbed her little hand to stop her from hurting herself and coaxed her softly.

Their lips touched, and Dongfang Hao accidentally touched Ruiyue's red lips. She turned her head back and felt like she was hit by an electric current.

His fingertips seemed to be on fire, burning her skin. She lowered her hands in embarrassment, her face slightly red.

"How long do you plan to stay home this time?" His cold breath sprayed on her face, and she quietly moved away a little.

"I have some personal matters to attend to, so I'm not that upset."

"Really? Then we can go get something special."

"Cousin, I'm afraid Sister Mingzhu will come out and cause trouble again."

Dongfang Hao said softly, "I'm here, don't be afraid of those two useless dancing girls. After you go to the Taoist temple, you will become stronger and stronger. One day, you will dare to tease tiger cubs."

"Cousin, I actually met two little tigers, they were furry and white as snow. I really wanted to raise them, but the master said that the little white tigers have parents and cannot be separated."

"Yes, Xiaoyue is the kindest."

Suddenly someone coughed lightly. Dongfang Hao turned his head and looked at the waitress who had been standing behind Ruiyue, who was looking at him with a smile.

He recognized one of them as Sima Xiaotao, the eldest daughter of General Sima Nanfeng. She was very heroic and her height was so high that it was hard to ignore her.

I don't know why she dressed up as Ruiyue's maid. Dongfang Hao was puzzled, and took advantage of the gap in everyone's conversation to secretly wink at Sima Xiaotao, indicating that she should find an opportunity to talk alone.

Sima Xiaotao understood what he meant, and while adding tea to Ruiyue, she nodded to Dongfang Hao subtly.

After a while, Sima Xiaotao left the main hall, using the excuse of getting some snacks. Dongfang Hao, seizing the opportunity, found an excuse to follow her out. The two met in a quiet corner of the garden.

"Xiaotao, why are you disguised as Ruiyue's maid?" Dongfang Hao asked directly. Sima Xiaotao looked around, making sure no one was around, and then lowered her voice, "Prince, I'm trying to protect Princess Ruiyue. I recently heard that a force was trying to harm her, so my father asked me to disguise myself and infiltrate her."

Dongfang Hao frowned, wondering who was behind this? It seemed the undercurrent within the Imperial City was even more turbulent than he had imagined. He patted Sima Xiaotao on the shoulder and said, "You've done well. Stay by the princess's side and let me know if anything happens."

"Her biological mother was a great benefactor of the Wumeng Kingdom. Now her life or death is uncertain. For both public and private reasons, we must protect her." Sima Xiaotao nodded firmly, and then the two of them returned to the main hall.

Ruiyue saw the two of them return one after another, and the one holding the snack became Dongfang Hao, but she didn't pay much attention. The imperial city was so small, it wasn't surprising that the general's daughter knew the prince. It was inevitable to exchange a few words when they met.

What's more, the princes had just returned from the martial arts training ground.

The maid Caihong whispered in her ear, "Miss, that woman wants to run away. Sister Xiaotao is back. I'll go over and keep an eye on her to see what she's up to. She keeps staring at us, and it's frightening me."

Ruiyue nodded gently, signaling Caihong to follow the woman. She also felt that she was a bit suspicious and might be connected to the forces that wanted to harm her.

It’s true, the ghost won’t go away forever. A hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.

Dongfang Hao saw Caihong's hurriedly leaving back, and his heart moved. He waved to his personal guard Xiao Zhan and said, "Did you see the girl in pink? Go and take a look, and protect her at the same time."

Guard Xiao Zhan immediately nodded: "Yes, I understand." He strode out.

He stood behind the princes, keeping a close eye on his master, who stood two meters away. The two maids behind Princess Ruiyue could see clearly; they were both serving in the military camp, and Sima Xiaotao had often trained with them, so they were very familiar with each other. With them and the prince protecting the princess, he felt at ease.

No one knew whose servant the woman was. She stood here and there, behaving strangely. He also wanted to see what was up with this woman.

In the center of the hall, the sound of piano still lingered in the air for three days, singing and dancing were in full swing, and the dance performance was very colorful.

She was dancing an exotic dance from the Western Regions. Her face was covered with purple tulle, her hair was full of pigtails, and she wore a T-shaped pearl wreath on her head. The purple tulle hung down to her waist, and there was a red spider lily painted on her forehead. She also wore large teardrop-shaped pearl earrings and a five-string white pearl necklace around her neck. The layers of pearls swayed gracefully, making her look enchanting and dazzling.

She wore a red and purple tulle long dress, with sparkling ring bracelets on her hands. The long dress was spun like a top by nine dancers, as if a fairy from the sky had descended to earth. The long-sleeved tulle flew onto the guests from time to time, causing bursts of teasing and laughter.

The leading dancer carried a purple woven basket, and from time to time purple pieces of paper and purple fake flowers fell from the air, drawing bursts of cheers and applause.

"The dance troupe they got here is really good at having fun. It's so beautiful."

"Next time, we'll play like this. Haha."

Some people murmured in opposition: "What kind of joke is this? It's so coquettish and vulgar."

"What's so vulgar about it? I like the vulgarity of it. Look at him, his saliva is dripping down his chin."

"Hmph, go away from here, young master. Get out!" Someone cursed softly, and the sound of the piano gradually became louder along with the voice.

"No one says you are dumb if you can't speak."

"It's so beautiful, so pretty. It's like a fairy descending to earth, just like this."

Applause rang out again. It turned out that nine purple rings were hanging from the air. Nine dancers grabbed the rings and flew barefoot in the air.

The ordinary tulle magically transformed into a tube-like dress, the scene was very sexy. The purple paper turned into five-colored paper, layer upon layer.

"Do you want it? It's so exciting. My heart is about to be hooked." Someone was whistling.

Over there, Dongfang Hao placed the dessert in front of little Ruiyue and looked at her lovingly, "Yue'er, try this dessert. The chef in the dining room said it's a new product. It's just that its design is so beautiful that I forgot to ask what it tastes like. Can you help me try it? Is it salty? Or sweet?"

Ruiyue glanced at him shyly, then gently picked up a piece of the dessert and put it in her mouth. The melt-in-your-mouth texture made her exclaim, "It's delicious! The filling is so soft and fragrant."

"It's salty, you should try it too."

Dongfang Hao looked at her satisfied expression, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

"Hmm." He opened his mouth and took the snack that Xiao Ruiyue handed to him, took a small bite, and then took it with his hands.

Someone joked: "The couple is so sweet, see? You should feed me like this too."

Ruiyue blushed at the teasing and lowered her head shyly. Dongfang Hao smiled brightly and replied generously, "You can't learn our tacit understanding." Everyone laughed.
