Too high to reach

Chapter 152 A Gathering of Distinguished People
After a pleasant chat, everyone went their separate ways.

As a result, after walking for a while, Yuan Huixian ran into the Wang sisters and Zhang Xianlin, and seven or eight girls were talking.

“Hui Xian is here. It’s been months since I last saw her,” Zhang Xianlin said.

After exchanging greetings, Yuan Huixian quietly asked Zhang Xianlin, "I heard about your story, is it true?"

Zhang Xianlin blushed slightly, "How would I know about the affairs of the adults in my family?"

After the last visit to Dajue Temple, Zhang Xianlin went back and told Madam Hou and his parents that he did not want to get involved in Liang You's affairs.

She finally understood that Liang You had feelings for Mo Yi.

Even after Mo Yi was betrothed, she was unwilling to accept that her fiancé had someone else in his heart, and that he didn't particularly like her!

Her parents then found her another marriage partner, and the talks were almost complete.

Yuan Huixian teased her with a smile.

Wang Xiaowei asked curiously, "What are you two talking about?"

But the two girls didn't intend to tell her.

Yuan Huixian changed the subject: "Hey, guess who I just saw? The Mo family girls! The three sisters are here too! They're over there..."

Wang Xiaowei's expression immediately changed.

What did they do here?!

Oh no, if that slutty bitch Mo Yuan starts yelling here, I'll be so embarrassed.

"Really?" She forced a smile. "Where is it?"

Yuan Huixian was rather naive; she had no idea that Wang Xiaowei would become enemies because of chess.

Pointing in the direction where the three Mo family girls had just left, he said, "Over there...Xanlin, let's go talk to them later!"

Zhang Xianlin was an open-minded person and naturally wouldn't harbor any ill will towards the Mo family girl. "Alright!"

Wang Xiaowei was not about to agree. She was sharp-tongued and immediately said with a stern face, "I'm not going, and don't mention me in front of them! Don't think that person has climbed up the social ladder; I don't even care about him!" With that, she turned and left.

Wang Xiaoyang quickly chased after him...

The Mo family girl was having her first major social interaction, talking and stopping intermittently, and hadn't gone very far in half a day.

Suddenly, there was a slight commotion.

People on the road parted to the sides, and the beautiful woman appeared behind them, whispering, "Girls, move to the side..."

“Miss Mowen, Madam Xu already knows you’ve arrived. She’s inside right now and said she’ll have Granny Xu invite you over after the birthday celebration.”

"Thank you very much, Sister Hongyan." Mo Wen didn't know whether Madam Xu had mentioned Xu Ke or not, but she was too embarrassed to speak.

Seeing everyone standing respectfully by the roadside, it must be an important person who has arrived.
The Mo family girl also followed everyone else's example.

Two palace maids led the way, one on each side, followed by two eunuchs holding cloud-patterned parasols. Walking in the middle was a woman in a red dress.

In their early twenties.

Before I could see her face clearly, I could only sense that her red dress, embroidered with gold thread, shimmered in the sunlight with every movement.

A head full of pigeon blood ruby ​​hairpins.

Sculpted eyebrows, upturned eyes. Quite beautiful...

Arrogant and haughty, he walked past everyone with his chin slightly raised, expressionless.

The fragrance emanating from him could be smelled by people nearby.

Several palace maids followed behind, each carrying something in their hands.

Following behind were several young women, all smiles, who didn't even look at anyone else and walked in with light steps.

Only after they had disappeared from sight did Hongyan whisper, "The one who just passed by was Princess Yu'an."

Mo Yi recognized her immediately; it was the same person she had met at the palace last time. She recalled how Mo Yi had pulled her hand and made her sit close to her, so close she could practically feel her breath.

At this moment, they are so distant and unapproachable... I really don't understand these people.

“Princess…no wonder she has such an imposing presence! Tsk tsk…” Mo Yuan whispered in her ear with great envy.

"Hey, it looks like someone else is coming from behind!"

The group that came this time consisted of men, numbering several dozen, with the leader dressed in a bright yellow brocade robe.

He wore a golden crown. He was of medium height, with a fair complexion, bright eyes, a straight nose, and a square mouth; he was remarkably handsome.

Dressed like that: Is he the crown prince?!

There was some commotion at the scene.

The crown prince walked unhurriedly, a smile on his face. He was elegant and refined.

Her clothes swayed slightly, carrying a hint of flirtatious charm.

His gaze was very gentle as he looked at the people on either side, even nodding slightly.

Everyone felt that he was looking at them and smiling at them... Countless people were immediately captivated by him.

A soft sigh escaped their lips, and some, moved to tears, were even brimming with emotion!
This made the surrounding noise even louder.

Mo Yuan held Mo Yi's hand tightly with one hand and Mo Wen's hand with the other, her eyes brimming with excitement: This is the Crown Prince! The future ruler of the world.

He's so good-looking! Look at the way he walks... Oh, he's smiling at me!
Oh my god, I'm going to faint...

The Crown Prince was not bothered by the commotion at the scene; instead, his smile deepened.

Those accompanying him were clearly from distinguished backgrounds. Some smugly stuck out their necks, while others ignored everyone present, talking to themselves as they went inside.

Mo Yi pinched Mo Yuan hard back, thinking to herself: What are you doing? Wake up, you infatuated girl!
"The one in bright yellow is His Highness the Crown Prince. He is accompanied by several princes," Hongyan whispered after they had disappeared from sight.

Even after being pinched, Mo Yuan didn't snap out of her earlier excitement and fascination.

As a result, another group of women arrived. The one at the front was also dressed in bright yellow.

A smooth forehead, a head of jet-black hair. Adorned with a phoenix hairpin. Fair skin, bright eyes, and an air of noble composure.

"This is the Crown Princess?"

She was accompanied by quite a few people. Some were older, some were younger, all of them dressed like wealthy ladies. There were even some who were extremely beautiful.

After they passed by, Hongyan said, "The one leading the way is the Crown Princess."

Mo Yi nodded; the Crown Princess truly possessed an exceptional air about her.

It's likely that someone like Granny Zhao taught him from a young age. This is something ingrained in his bones, a true example of early childhood training.

It's completely different from what we, who learned it later, have!
Then, several more groups of people came by. There were men and women, and everyone knew the woman. She picked out those that everyone was curious about and introduced them.

When they get excited, they just keep talking.

Then, the Mo family girls discovered that the lady who had just passed by was a daughter of someone, a daughter-in-law of someone else. Who was her cousin? Who was her younger cousin? Who did her aunt marry into? Who did her brother marry? They even heard that her niece was discussing marriage with the lady who had just passed by… And who was that lady…?

My goodness, this is never going to end!
Regardless of the twists and turns, in the end, it seems like everyone is related...

Mo Wen and Mo Yi exchanged a glance. Only now did they truly realize how accidental their marriage had been!
At this moment, another man arrived, very young and handsome. Tall and slender, he carried a folding fan and came and went alone, carefree and unrestrained.

Hongyan explained, "This is Prince Yong'an. He looks young, but he's actually over thirty. He's our Emperor's elder brother and the only son of Prince Cheng. The prince passed away early. The Emperor dotes on him and values ​​him highly. I've heard he's very intelligent. Every time he sends a gift to the palace, it's the most outstanding. I wonder what birthday gift he's sending to the Empress Dowager this time."

Wow, this person is quite nice... "Does he have a princess?" Mo Yuan asked.

"There is a princess. But there have never been two before. I heard that the current one is also in poor health and rarely comes out... I haven't seen her much."

Seeing Mo Yuan's eyes darting around as she pinched her, Mo Yi pinched her hard: What are you thinking about?

Mo Yuan realized what was happening and chuckled mischievously.

Just then, Li Jing arrived...

He was still dressed in black robes and a silver crown, black boots, and a jade belt at his waist, with no expression.

"Your Highness Prince Qi..." they all thought to themselves, feeling that there was nothing to see in this guy, and that he was too cold.

He was accompanied by Li Chang and several scions of prominent families, as well as two cousins ​​from the Zhao family.

Li Jing also saw Mo Yi and the others, and nodded to her. Without stopping, she walked forward.

"Is this His Highness Prince Qi?" Mo Wen was seeing him for the first time.

"Yes!" Mo Yuan answered for Mo Yi; she didn't like this at all!
Several more groups of people entered, and finally the time came. The bells and drums rang, and a eunuch shouted loudly at the front.

"The Empress Dowager's birthday celebration begins."

Everyone knelt on the red carpet, facing the main hall...
