Although the invitations to the Qianjin Banquet are usually sent to the invited young ladies about ten days in advance, because the Qianjin Banquet is a competition of talent, every invited person will tacitly keep this matter a secret, because they are afraid that something similar to what happened to Ye Feiyu's cousin and Lin Yingxin will happen.
The invitation to Boya Xuan was secret, and the person himself kept it a secret, so every time there was a banquet, everyone wanted to check who were the invited attendees so that they could understand and prepare in advance, but only a few people could find out where they were.
Wen Xinya was a rather unlucky type, as she had been schemed against by Xia Ruya and Lin Yingxin. As soon as she accepted the invitation, the news spread to everyone. Fortunately, she was not in the circle of scholarly families, and she seldom showed off her talents, so people knew very little about her background.
But, at the same time, she knew very little about other people.
While strolling around the garden, Ye Feiyu quickly introduced to Wen Xinya several young ladies who were extremely outstanding in family background, talent and appearance. Wen Xinya now had a rough idea in her mind.
Ye Feiyu added: "There are five judges for the Qianjin Banquet every year. One of them is the champion of the previous Qianjin Banquet. The other four are all masters from Boya Xuan. The masters of Boya Xuan are all well-known in the capital. They are all proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, or one, two or three of them, and their attainments are not low, and they are respected by everyone."
Wen Xinya listened carefully. Although the information her grandfather had investigated was quite detailed and there were some descriptions about these things, it was not as detailed as Ye Feiyu's. After hearing Ye Feiyu's, she had a deeper understanding of Qianjinyan.
As the two were chatting, Lin Yingxin and Xia Ruya came over together.
One is as graceful as a fairy, making people forget the worldly affairs when they see her.
A figure as pure as ice and snow, quite charming and touching.
Wen Xinya had to admit that they were both extremely outstanding women in terms of temperament and beauty.
Ye Feiyu glanced at Xia Ruya and Lin Yingxin for a few times, then looked away and whispered to Wen Xinya, "It seems that they also put a lot of thought into dressing up, but..." She suddenly laughed, her smile full of malice, "Xia Ruya's snow-colored dress looks a bit vulgar compared to you, and Lin Yingxin's fairy-like dress looks bland. One is made vulgar by you, and the other is made plain by you. I don't know how jealous they are at this moment."
She was looking forward to seeing Xia Ruya and Lin Yingxin's frustrated expressions.
Wen Xinya was speechless. Lin Yingxin and Xia Ruya were obviously coming towards them. She was whispering in her ear so blatantly, which clearly showed that she was trying to annoy them.
Ye Feiyu said excitedly: "They are coming."
Wen Xinya suddenly felt that Ye Feiyu was just hoping for chaos in the world. She came to the Qianjin Banquet specially, but it wasn't for her! She came here to watch the excitement!
Xia Ruya and Lin Yingxin saw Wen Xinya and Ye Feiyu talking and laughing from afar. Even though they were far away, they were still stunned by her faint brightness and beauty.
At this moment, Wen Wenya was standing opposite them, her whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of mysterious and noble moonlight. In this world, the only thing that could compete with the sun was the moonlight. At this moment, Wen Wenya's body was so bright and clear that it was almost as bright as the stars and the sun.
Xia Ruya laughed: "Miss Wen, you are really radiant today. This outfit makes all the rich girls in the garden look better than you."
Xia Ruya stared at the unique fabric on Wen Wenya's body and quickly recognized that it was the Moonlight Brocade, which was almost extinct in the world today. It was as rare as the Phoenix Brocade. She found it incredible that Wen Wenya had the ability to get it.
However, considering the accumulation of three generations of the Mo family, it is only natural that they have some material for Yuehua brocade.
Then, her eyes were fixed on the warm and elegant accessories, and she couldn't take her eyes off them. It was a full set of beeswax, and each variety of beeswax was of the finest quality in the world. The natural patterns on each variety were all magnificent colors that had gone through thousands of years, and the magic of mysterious changes after going through vicissitudes of life.
She subconsciously touched the carefully crafted pigeon blood red bracelet on her wrist. She remembered that Wen Wen Ya once also had a full set of pigeon blood red jewelry. She was very jealous at that time. For some reason, she chose this set of pigeon blood red for Qian Jinyan this time.
It was not until this moment that she suddenly realized that she had unknowingly begun to compete with Wen Xinya. She wanted to have the jewelry, clothes, and even shoes and bags that Wen Xinya had.
However, it was also at this moment that she suddenly realized that no matter how jealous she was or how much she wanted to compete with her, she had to admit that she had no way of competing with Wen Xinya. For example, there was no way for her to get such rare and unique beeswax, even if she was the heir of the Li family.
Her heart suddenly felt a little sad.
Wen Xinya said in a calm voice: "Miss Xia, you are as beautiful as a flower today, and people can't take their eyes away."
Another person who had the same idea as Xia Ruya was Lin Yingxin, but her feeling was more direct than Xia Ruya's. Looking at Wen Wenya in front of her, her clothes, accessories, and dress were all perfect and exquisite to the point of being impeccable. She wanted to outdo Wen Wenya, but before the Qianjin Banquet even started, she had already lost to Wen Wenya.
Lin Yingxin couldn't suppress her inner jealousy. Although she smiled, her tone was inevitably a little sour: "I've heard before that Miss Wen is a butterfly emerging from a cocoon, a phoenix transforming, radiant and brilliant. Seeing her today, she really lives up to her reputation."
It sounded like he was meeting her for the first time, but the phrase "lived up to the reputation" was obviously a soft stab. Wen Xinya has indeed been famous recently, but most of the comments were negative, so the word "lived up to" was obviously meaningful.
Wen Xinya said calmly: "Senior Sister Lin, you are too kind. With Senior Sister Lin, the champion of the last Qianjin Banquet, here, who among you dares to call yourself Fenghua?"
The tone was calm, as if there was no emotional fluctuation at all.
Lin Yingxin looked at her calm face, and then at the sneer on Ye Feiyu's face beside her, she knew that Wen Xinya must know about the secrets between her and her cousin Lin at the last Qianjin Banquet. When she thought about Wen Xinya's seemingly polite and flattering words, it became a slap in the face.
Lin Ying felt a breath stuck in her throat, unable to spit it out or swallow it. She felt so aggrieved and uncomfortable that she wished she could bite her teeth to pieces.
