The Dramatic Crown Princess Wants to Poison Me!

Chapter 768: Chapter 743: Isn’t This Too Much?

It was still a servant who led the newcomer in, another young man with a handsome face, refined demeanor, and a gentlemanly smile, exuding an impressive charm.

Mrs. Li thought, not as stunning as the initial appearance of Prince Cheng’s Heir,

but possessed more grace and elegance compared to the later arrival of Prince Xin’s son and Prince Lu’s son.

Excellent men abound in the Capital City, Mrs. Li sighed, and she involuntarily glanced once more toward the south hall. Though it was unlikely for her son to stand out today, her daughter was also present.

Two months before arriving in the Capital City, they had spent a considerable sum to hire a tutor to teach her daughter etiquette and manners. Today was the perfect occasion to put those to use.

Princess Ning looked at the newcomer, a hint of a smile surfacing on her face. He had finally arrived; she had been worried that the Second Young Master might be delayed by something.

After all, the Second Young Master had mentioned that he intended to use this grand party at her residence to select a suitable bride!

Isn’t this a beautiful story in the making?

When Huangfu Yuxuan entered the north hall, he stood at the entrance and glanced at the south hall. Those seated within, closer to the outside, could see the exterior, and similarly, standing outside, he could glimpse some of the inside if at the right angle.

The south hall was already filled with many young ladies, their voices resembling birds, adorned in red makeup and green sleeves, exceptionally beautiful. Moreover, several women dressed to the nines noticed him, and barely anyone was unaware of who he was! The most prominent of the three sons in the Capital City, a title and demeanor that captured countless hearts.

He saw Zhao Keyan, saw Duan Yan, saw Princess He Ye, and saw those familiar and unfamiliar young ladies from prestigious families...

Of course, he also noticed numerous pairs of ardent, enamored gazes.

His smile remained gentle, yet his heart was tinged with disdain and impatience. Naturally, within that disdain and impatience lay arrogance and pride.

He knew he was popular among women, given that in every aspect, he was outstanding.

His gaze did not linger on those people; he continued to search.

Xia Wenjin, should she be here?

Unfortunately, from the entrance, one could only see a quarter of the hall’s interior, and he did not find Xia Wenjin. So he withdrew his gaze and glanced again at Princess Ning.

Princess Ning acknowledged his questioning look with a subtle nod.

Huangfu Yuxuan smiled initially and then withdrew his gaze. He hadn’t disclosed his interest in Xia Wenjin, nor did Princess Ning know. Her nod was merely an attempt to please, unaware of his true inquiry!

Realizing this, Huangfu Yuxuan did not cast even the slightest glance back, stepping into the north hall.

If the south hall was vivid with color, the north hall was dignified and graceful!

Huangfu Yuxuan was already considered late. Upon entering, he saw a crowd of notable figures and squinted slightly. Princess Ning really knew how to handle things smoothly; had she perhaps distributed too many invitations to the men?

Wasn’t that Prince Xin’s son and Prince Lu’s son over there?

Those two remained inseparable, as if they were such close cousins. Huangfu Yuxuan sneered inwardly at their pretense!

His gaze suddenly stopped somewhere, a cold sharpness in his eyes.

Why is it that Huangfu Jingchen is involved everywhere?

It seemed Xia Wenjin was indeed present.

The servant was about to guide Huangfu Yuxuan to the left to take a seat, but Huangfu Yuxuan took a step and headed towards where Huangfu Jingchen was seated casually, sipping tea.

A formidable, unfriendly aura loomed over, prompting Huangfu Jingchen to look up.
