Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Shangguan Jingtai had just changed out of his damp clothes and stepped out of his room when he ran into his friend, Yu Li, the heir of the Marquis of Ningbei.

"Your Highness has quite the refined taste. While discussing the Northern Qi rebellion with me, you even went to play the hero and rescue a beauty. So, has that woman already pledged herself to you?" Yu Li laughed lewdly, and his words were quite irritating.

Shangguan Jingtai glanced at Yu Li with a sidelong eyebrow and said expressionlessly, "My relationship with that young lady is naturally innocent."

"You are innocent, but I'm afraid other girls don't think that way."

"I'll go explain to her right away." Shangguan Jingtai was too lazy to pay him any attention.

Halfway there, he thought it wouldn't be right to go alone, so he turned back to call Yuli and ask him to go with him.

Perhaps he turned too quickly and didn't notice, bumping into a girl.

Shangguan Jingtai was skilled in martial arts and possessed extraordinary strength. He knocked the girl to the ground, and the veil covering her face slipped down, revealing a frighteningly red face.

Even Shangguan Jingtai, who was used to seeing women, was taken aback.

"I'm sorry. I turned around in a hurry and didn't notice. Let me help you up."

The woman stood up, slowly patted her dress, and looked up at Shangguan Jingtai.

His eyes, as deep as an ancient well, seemed to have the ability to see into people's hearts, leaving Shangguan Jingtai somewhat at a loss.

"No, I can do it myself."

Without waiting for Shangguan Jingtai's reaction, he left on his own.

Shangguan Jingtai watched the girl's departing figure, lost in thought.

The banquet on board was held as scheduled.

Despite the suspicious circumstances surrounding Steward Lu's death, the banquet was not affected by it.

The banquet performance was held on a stage in the center of the ship.

The stage is located in the very center of the gap between the three decks of the ship, connecting the entire vessel.

The banquet began as usual, with the same old dancers performing, nothing different.

Just as people were falling asleep.

The wise Prince Shangguan Jingde suggested making the party more innovative.

We request that Your Majesty allow the noble ladies present to display their talents.

The winner will be personally rewarded by the emperor.

That old, rigid emperor actually agreed.

The crowd erupted in excitement.

Xiao Xiao carefully observed her surroundings, because according to the original plot, there would be an assassination attempt here.

The central stage, with its excellent view and proximity to the VIP seating area, was an ideal location for an assassination.

Xiao Xiao squinted and looked around. She accidentally bumped into Shangguan Jingtai, who was also looking up from upstairs.

The man was chatting happily with his friend, his eyes and brows full of gentle smiles.

He is a person of exceptional talent and character.

Unfortunately, he caught the eye of the female lead, Liu Shanshan. As a protagonist in a wish-fulfillment novel, Liu Shanshan's love turned to hate, and she believed in the principle of destroying what she couldn't have.

He falsely accused Shangguan Jingtai of treason, and was subsequently demoted to a commoner and exiled to the northern wilderness.

The throne was eventually usurped by the ruthless and cunning protagonist, Shangguan Jingde.

Xiao Xiao looked at Shangguan Jingtai. His tall and elegant figure, along with the mutton-fat jade hairpin in his hair, made him appear even more gentle and refined.

Shangguan Jingde, standing beside him, had a gloomy expression, which was completely inconsistent with his title of wise prince.

Shangguan Jingtai seemed to have noticed Xiaoxiao as well, and smiled slightly at her in return.

That smile was like a spring breeze, her chin slightly raised, and her almond-shaped eyes sparkled like a galaxy.

The sight of the two gazing at each other from afar was caught by the nosy Yu Li, who, though never having seen Shangguan Jingtai pay attention to any particular girl, was simply curious.

Yu Li was immediately seized by a playful impulse and teased Shangguan Jingtai with a mischievous grin: "Ziheng, look, there's a little girl looking at me!"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jingde concealed his gloomy expression and put on a curious look, teasingly asking, "Let me see which young lady has such good taste?"

Shangguan Jingtai slightly turned his body, blocking Shangguan Jingde's view. "That girl has a natural squint. Your Highness has probably misunderstood!"

Yu Li raised an eyebrow, glanced meaningfully at Shangguan Jingtai, and said regretfully, "Oh, that's a pity! He looks quite unique."

However, at this moment, the women in the third-floor cabins began to get restless.

This is a perfect opportunity to showcase one's talents. If one is lucky enough to be noticed by a prince or nobleman, one might even become a princess or noblewoman. By all accounts, this would be the best condition for a husband.

At this moment, Xue Zhilan disregarded the unpleasantness between her and Shen An and thought that if she could win first place at the party today.

Then, people might inadvertently mention to the Emperor that the Crown Prince had just jumped into the lake to save them.

The Emperor, seeing that she had already lost her virginity to Shangguan Jingtai, would surely make her the Crown Princess.

Xue Zhilan's eyes revealed her delight.

Seeing Xue Zhilan's expression, Shen An became even more furious.

He was known as one of the Four Worthies of the Capital, and he was excellent in every way, from talent to appearance.

Although he may not be a match for a princess like Liu Shanshan, marrying a lady from a prestigious family would not be a problem.

However, her grandfather, who was extremely concerned about his reputation, forced her to marry Xue Xiao, the daughter of a peasant woman.

In order to maintain his reputation for filial piety, he had to act as if it were the proper thing to do in front of outsiders.

I still remember that day when he personally went to the Xue family to propose marriage, bringing a generous dowry with him. He intended to leave after paying his respects to his aunt.

But it just so happened that he met the charming Xue Zhilan in his aunt's courtyard.

The girl's skin was as clear and smooth as jade, without any makeup.

The sound of "cousin" filled the air, accompanied by gentle, soothing words.

Shen An knew that Xue Zhilan's affection for him was somewhat tinged with exploitation, but he appreciated it nonetheless.

After all, Xue Zhilan was a woman of some talent, and the fact that she disregarded propriety and had a private affair with him greatly satisfied his vanity.

But now, compared to Shangguan Jingtai, who has been exceptionally talented since childhood, he is somewhat inferior.

Shen An's face was contorted with rage. Just because someone was born into a better family, what right did they have to be compared to him?

Liu Shanshan also noticed Xue Zhilan, who was twisting her handkerchief.

It should be noted that Xue Zhilan was a famous talented woman in the capital. Her song "Red Dust" was extremely beautiful, and at the time, it even overshadowed her own fame.

Liu Shanshan needs to find a way to prevent Xue Zhilan from attending the banquet, or to make her look foolish at the banquet.

Once Xue Zhilan's reputation is ruined, such a woman will not marry the Crown Prince, and then she will still have a chance.

Liu Shanshan whispered a few words to her maid Xin'er, who understood and disappeared into the crowd.
