"Inviting me for tea..." Xiao Ruoling's deep and enchanting eyes sparkled, like a secluded pond under the sunlight.
"Elder sister, just refuse." Xiao Ruoyu said, "The Ninth Princess of Da Meng definitely has ill intentions."
"What might her intentions be?" Xiao Ruoling asked.
Xiao Ruoyu snorted, "Is she trying to outshine you, Elder sister?... There's been quite a stir outside these days, insisting on comparing you to her."
Xiao Ruoling looked at him curiously.
She had been focused on cultivation these days, paying little attention to outside affairs, burying herself in cultivation after attending a palace night banquet.
Xiao Ruoyu said, "Some say you are the number one beauty, others say she is, anyway, they say all sorts of things."
He pouted, "That Li Hongzhao is beautiful, but she's far behind you, Elder sister!"
Xiao Ruoling laughed, "Little Tiger, you know how to flatter now."
