50 I Wonder if She Can Melt This Piece of Ice This Year.
The Dragon Lake Meeting was one of the most important social events in the capital. Be it nobles or commoners, they could participate.
However, there were relatively high requirements for civilians, who must be talented and capable to have a recommendation letter to participate.
Almost all the noble descendants in the capital would participate in the Dragon Lake Meeting. Some people wanted to show off at the Dragon Lake Meeting, some wanted to find a good marriage at the Dragon Lake Meeting, and some forces wanted to find some capable people who had yet to make a name for themselves at the Dragon Lake Meeting and rope them in.
Even the Emperor attached great importance to the Dragon Lake Meeting. Every time, he would personally send someone to manage it. Sometimes, he would even participate personally with the Empress Dowager.
!!
An hour later, Shen Yaowei and Shen Yuyan sat in the same carriage and went to the venue of the Dragon Lake Meeting, Dragon Heart Lake.
“Miss, you’ll definitely be able to win the jade beauty award at the Dragon Lake Meeting this year,” Zi Yun said as she sat opposite Shen Yaowei and looked at her in amazement.
Her light green gauze dress was dreamlike, and her exquisite bun was decorated with South Sea pearls. There were no other unnecessary ornaments, but such a simple dress completely accentuated the girl’s clean spiritual energy.
Shen Yaowei had been able to get the title of jade beauty every year, but it was the only award she could win.
Every year, the Dragon Lake Meeting would choose a jade beauty, a talented woman, and a talented scholar.
The remaining two were based on brains and talent.
“Yaoyao, there will definitely be many good-looking young masters at the Dragon Lake Meeting.” Shen Yuyan had a gentle smile on his handsome face as he looked deeply at Shen Yaowei. “There might be someone better-looking than His Highness Li. If you like someone, you must tell me.”
Shen Yaowei was originally wondering why her Third Brother was so enthusiastic about bringing her to the Dragon Lake Meeting this time. Now, she instantly understood.
She immediately looked at Shen Yuyan seriously. “Third Brother, in Yaoyao’s heart, there’s no one better-looking than my Ninth Imperial Uncle.”
Shen Yuyan slowly blinked and couldn’t help but ask, “Then Yaoyao, between me and His Highness Li, who do you think is better looking?”
“His Highness Li is a little better-looking than you, Third Brother…” Shen Yaowei raised her hand slightly to indicate the size of a sesame seed and answered straightforwardly.
Shen Yuyan immediately felt his heart drop to the ground. Two lines of tears quietly flowed down his face.
One had to know that, in the past, he had asked Yaoyao who was the best-looking person in the world.
Yaoyao would definitely choose him without hesitation.
Shen Yuyan suddenly felt that the mission his father had given him today was a little difficult. He coughed dryly and said, “Yaoyao, it’s a good thing that you don’t like Prince Zhao anymore. Father and I will definitely think of a way to break off your engagement. But regarding your future husband, Father and I hope you can consider it again. Luckily, the Dragon Lake Meeting is the perfect place for you to observe carefully. Other than His Highness Li, do you like anyone else?”
“I only like my Ninth Imperial Uncle. I won’t like anyone else,” Shen Yaowei said firmly.
Shen Yuyan thought that Shen Yuyan’s stubbornness was acting up again. He raised his hand and rubbed her little face dotingly. “Alright, if you still like your Ninth Imperial Uncle a year later and he hasn’t married yet, we’ll agree.”
A year…
Shen Yaowei thought of Huo Junhan’s attitude towards her, and her shoulders suddenly sank. A dejected expression flashed across her big eyes.
Clearly, her Ninth Imperial Uncle’s attitude toward her was like a block of ice.
She wondered if she could melt this ice in the next year.
