Schemes in Royal Palace

The citizens looked forward to it. The annual Seventh-Festival Temple Meet was very lively.

This Yuan Jin Dynasty, after a few years of Cheng Yu family governance, the country was prosperous and the people were peaceful. It was an unprecedented scene.

On the Changming street of the temple fair, there were many restaurants and tea shops. It was an unspeakably lively scene.

One by one, carriages passed by. All the waiters were extremely busy.

Every year, during the past few days of the temple fair, they would earn a fortune and could even hear the news of new gathering from various places.

Amongst the bustling crowd, there was a young man with delicate features, bright eyes, white teeth, and a graceful demeanor.

"Young Master Li, you've come again this year! You must take care of my family this year, come up to eat wine, I have kept the best room for you! " Seeing Li Chu, who always came to the temple fair every year, the waiter of the Plum Blossom House hurried forward to greet him.

"Oh? "To think you're still thinking about me. Fine, follow me upstairs to have a look at my private rooms." Li Jun opened her fan and followed the waiter up the stairs.

The elegant room of the Spring Gazing House was extremely exquisite.

Li Chu ordered a pot of tea and a snack, then sat by the window and watched the people coming and going.

At the temple fair, each family's daughter would dress up and go out to play. This was the custom of the Jin Dynasty.

Thus, today, the Shangguan Family and the merchants would gather at the temple fair to sneak into the restaurants and secretly observe the girls on the streets.

Suddenly, the people on the street started swimming towards the source of the noise, as if they were looking at a school of fish.

Li Yu Chu was looking for something interesting, and was attracted by the abnormal movements of the crowd. He raised his head and looked into the distance with rapt attention.

In a distant restaurant, it was probably the Yongtai Restaurant that was as famous as the Prominent Spring Pavilion. In the pavilion, a young lady stood upright, holding a multicolored ball of silk in her arms as her pomegranate dress fluttered in the breeze.

"Thump thump thump." The waiter ran upstairs and stood outside the private room.

"Young Master Li, aren't you going to join in the fun? "One of the richest businessmen in the world is going to choose a husband."

Hearing that, Li Jun seemed to have thought of something, her deep eyes flashed with light.

Turning around, Li Yu gazed at the waiter, dropped a large chunk of silver, cupped his hands, and said with a smile: "Thank you, young brother! "I am lacking a wife right now. If this matter is successful, I will definitely repay this debt greatly."

After saying that, Li Chu went downstairs and walked towards Yongtai Restaurant.

In front of Yongtai Restaurant, it was already crowded with people. Li was weak at first, so it was impossible for him to squeeze his way in.

As she pushed and shoved, she caught a glimpse of the girl upstairs. She was wearing a green robe with a white silk handkerchief covering her mouth. Her delicate eyebrows were slightly knitted. She looked down with a smile and it caused a commotion.

Li Jun took a closer look and realized it was the daughter of the number one businessman, Jiang Tongda, Jiang Yuyao.

From the information she had accumulated over the years, Jiang Yuyao had always been the mysterious woman in the capital. It was rare to see her.

If it wasn't for her curiosity and the fact that she spent money to get a portrait of her, she wouldn't be able to recognize her today.

Jiang Yuyao's every move carried a natural grace, and she was flirtatious without showing off.

Just as he was thinking this, a short fat man appeared from next to Jiang Yuyao upstairs.

"Everyone, calm down, calm down!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd downstairs immediately fell silent.

"Today, I've reserved the Eternal Tai Tower for my little girl." He pointed to the girl beside him. There was a hiss downstairs.

"So she is the rich merchant's daughter, she is truly beautiful."

"Coming here today is the right choice. What a blessing."

There were many officials and nobles in the crowd. Upon hearing the news, they all went back to report it to their masters. There were also some rowdy people who wanted to join in on the fun and were salivating over Miss Jiang's attitude.

Jiang Tongda was standing at the highest point in the hall. Looking down at the crowd below, he could not help but smile at the handsomely dressed young masters.

"In a moment, my daughter will throw this ball away. If any of you are lucky enough to receive it, please come upstairs. If you don't, you can just forget about the marriage between you and my daughter and let this worry me."

Jiang Yuyao lowered her head. Her face was slightly red as she began to squirm, causing the restless men to impatiently shout.

"Throw, throw! Brother will catch it!"

Li Jun pursed her lips and laughed. If her elder brothers were to snatch the embroidered ball away, then old man Jiang wouldn't be able to take this lying down.

As the saying goes, 'light' and 'light' may seem like a casual choice of husband, but in reality, Jiang Tongda already had a small fortune in his own right. Naturally, he looked down on those prodigal sons who had no rights to become disciples.

His gaze was fixated on the royal family that were hidden from the world.

Li Jun gazed at Jiang Tongda, who was upstairs, as the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

Looking at his actions today, there must be a noble person in this temple fair. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the risk to make his daughter throw out the embroidered ball and spend the rest of her life here.

Who could this person be? Li Yu Chu thought to himself. She didn't even know when a handsome young man would stand beside him.

Li Wen only felt a black shadow envelop him and subconsciously looked back.

What entered her eyes was a full set of white clothes, embroidered with fine gold thread with decorative patterns.

Looking up, the youth's brows were slightly furrowed, like a proud snow plum in the winter, blinking all the time. Under the straight nose, her thin lips slightly raised, yet it was like the early winter cold wind, causing one to feel a strong chill.

Under the sunlight, the youth's cold figure flashed with a faint golden light, as if a celestial being had descended from the heavens.

Li Jun was stunned.

She knew every single power within the capital like the back of her hand. How could she not know this young master? Could it be that he was not from the capital?

While he was thinking, the crowd became restless. Suddenly, the crowd became crowded. It turned out that Miss Jiang was going to throw the ball.

Li Chu was shaken, as if he were a ball of soup, rolling around in the waves of people.

However, every time she rolled to the right, the youth would use the fan in his hand to separate her. Even when she was in the crowd, Li Jun never even took a step closer to the youth.

Upstairs, Jiang Yuyao had a smile blossoming on her face. She kept staring at Li Xiao Chu and the young master beside her, waiting for the right time to throw the embroidered ball over.

She stood still, and the crowd was suddenly frozen.

The ball rose into the air and flew towards the youth's head.

Just as the ball was about to fall on the youth's body, a few young masters suddenly jumped up to grab it. The crowd immediately became chaotic, and as they pushed and shoved, the ball unerringly fell into Li Chu's arms.

Everyone booed and looked at Li Xiao Chu in envy.

Li Yu Chu raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Yu Yao. Jiang Yu Yao had a face full of smiles. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled gracefully.

Jiang Tongda stood up and clapped his hands as he waved to the confused Li Chu. "Young master, please come upstairs."

Li Yu's eyebrows creased, the corner of his eye turned to the corner of his white clothes flapping, and he immediately thought of something.

Stretching out her slender hand, Li Jun untied the hairpin on her head. Her long, black hair flowed down her shoulders.

Seeing everyone's shocked expression, Li Yu silently smiled, turned his head and shouted towards the cold teenager beside him: "Brother! I told you to bring me, you have a higher chance of winning! After all, two people had a better chance of snatching the ball! "You see, I've already snatched the sister-in-law you've long admired. Why don't you go already!"

Li Xiao's eyes, which were as bright as stars, looked at the noble youth with a cunning gaze. He smiled mischievously, revealing two cute little canines.

Looking at Li Jun's bright and beautiful smile, the youth was slightly surprised.
