Drizella as Xuehau walk into the big guest room which was filled to both sides with men and woman of nobility.
Everyone's gazes turned towards the entrance where a teenage girl dress in all red appear. She didn't make a sound or seem to care if others are looking her way as she walk towards a seat. That seat however is Yun Xuehau's seat.
They wonder why she would sit there but no one makes a move to ask her. As they went on to enjoy their own discussion, some would steal glance at the girl in red.
One brave hero stood up from among them. He walk up to where she is seated, "This one don't know but maybe Miss went to the wrong seat?"
Drizella almost want to laugh out. The way the man speak sounded like an old man trying to carry favor. Her expression didn't change as she answer, "Then you are mistaken, this seat belong to me, Yun Xuehau. Are you suggesting that this seat already have a new owner."
As she made herself clear, she glance at the surrounding people. The surrounding people look away as some try to make unnecessary conversations.
The young man with sweat dripping from his forehead said, "Of course not, this one just have bad eyes and didn't realize it was the young miss Yun."
Drizella nodded her head: "True. This younger sister hope this older brother's eyes are better next time."
Drizella sat there, her eyes enjoying the decorations around and the food place on the table. If she didn't have to mind her manners, the first thing she would do is tearing a piece of meat for herself.
As she was in her own stupid thoughts, a woman the same age as Xuehau entered the room. She smile sweetly and greeted everyone with enthusiasm.
Next two women who's appearance look identical entered the room. One was cold and only nod as a greeting while the other smile gently for her greeting.
The last one to enter was a gorgeous woman, her white robe stick closely to her body, showing all her curves. Most of the men couldn't take their eyes of her. Even though her body shape already made people have a nosebleed, she weak complexion, makes the men want to protect her.
Those three groups of women were the only ones who appeal to her. She felt the lukewarm of enormous spiritual energy from them especially the very last person; the weak woman in white.
Clearing her mind of her own thoughts, she realize someone was missing. She stare at her two maids trying to figure out what was missing.
"Where is he... Shen Yuan?" Drizella whispered to the two standing behind her.
They both look at their side and at each other then shake their head. They don't also know where he is after being searching and being fascinated by their miss.
As if to respond to Drizella's calling Shen Yuan walk out of the door.
He glance around to find where the young miss is but couldn't spot her. Instead he found the two of the three maids who always stuck with her, standing behind someone and helping that someone.
That someone was a woman cloth in red. Since those two were with the red woman, she must be the young miss.
There is a veil blocking halve of her face. When their eyes met, she waves at him, he can clearly tell that she was smiling. She was different from the violent young miss he knows of, instead she seems to be the same as when they have met.
A maid of the white dress woman bump into Shen Yuan as he was walking. She said sorry multiple times as she bow for forgiveness. Shen Yuan though doesn't seem to care as he only glance at the maid and continue walking.
Drizella kept her eyes on Shen Yuan so she knows that behind the maid's gesture of apology, there is a hidden agenda.
Shen Yuan stood behind Yun Xuehau (Drizella) with her two maids.
The party became livelier as the emperor, empress, princes, and princesses make their entrance.
Drizella knows that in any world people need to show respect to the royal family. However, each world have a different perspective to showing respect. From what she remember in those historical and fantasy dramas, in this situation there's the bowing and present giving.
She who is accompanying this body doesn't know what this body is giving as a present.
Drizella has a few ideas that she thought of base on Xuehau's personality, they are: presenting herself as the gift since Xuehau is so into the crown prince...
...NO! Xuehau isn't that crazy yet.
Giving red roses and confess her love...
NO! This is ancient time not modern time and the guy usually is the one to confess. Also it doesn't give off the vibe she always see in TV.
Jewelry of gold and silver...
No, if it was the crown princess that would make sense but this is the crown prince... not the crown princess.
A dance to show her appreciation...
Might work but what this type of guy would like most would be swords...
...Thinking back, what did Leon get on his birthdays?
"Xuehua would love to show everyone the dance she has been practicing for the crown prince's birthday. Right, Xuehau?" a sweet and charming voice of a woman ring out.
Drizella look up in confusion with a cherry in her hand. She was in her own thought that she doesn't realize what is happening.
A DANCE?
WHO'S DANCE?
XUEHAU'S?
WHEN DID SHE HAS SUCH THING?
S$%t! Let her search her memories...
Ahhhhhh! There really is such. Xuehau has been practicing a particular dance just for this party. It is said that the dance can make flowers blown out of nowhere and make a person's love come true.
Drizella smile as she stood up and give a slight bow, "This one have been preparing the dance but doesn't know if the crown prince would like to see an un-nurture dance."
There was silence in the room and the Heavenly Emperor's voice ring out, "We would like to see it."
Drizella's mouth slightly twitch by the emperor's words. She thought she wouldn't have to dance the dance. The emperor seem to have seen through her thoughts to suggest she really dance.
