The mysterious dancer

As the royal banquet starts, following the arrival of Crown Prince Jin Yuchen, a group of dancers and musicians gets ready to perform on stage. People are eagerly waiting to look at the dancing performance, which has an atmosphere filled with excitement.

While the dancers were dancing his eyes caught the attention of one of the dancers.

He stretches out his neck to look at the dancer who attracted his eye among the whirling dancers.

As she slides smoothly around the dance floor, her presence dazzling and alluring, he observes her with a mixture of recognition and admiration.

Suddenly his focus is instantly diverted when all the dancers finished their performance and left the stage.

After the performance, the Lin dynasty prime minister presents the scroll written with pure golden ink.

" May the Emperor of the Jin dynasty live longer, healthier, and happier. May his royal highness wealth, and power grow faster and faster. God bless the emperor of the world"

The prime minister of the Lin dynasty read the scroll in a loud voice and everyone present at the royal banquet could hear.

" HAHAHAHHAHHA HAHAHHAHA Prime Minister Xin you don't have to prepare a gift for me. This was supposed to be a normal royal banquet. Feel free and enjoy the banquet" The emperor said.

Although he said this people can see how happy Emperor Jin was. He was laughing from ear to ear.

All the young miss and ladies' eyes were on crown prince Jin Yuchen the whole time. They were praying to get his one glance but his mind was on the previous dancer.

He sense that he had met the dancer previously. Especially the dancer's eyes. He takes the Emperor's permission and walks away from the royal banquet following who the dancer could be.

To his surprise he didn't find the dancer there. He looks here and there and he was sure that a dancer is missing from the group.

Unknown to him the dancer had already slipped away from there after the performance because she have noticed the crown prince's suspicious gaze on her. She was finding an escape route to leave the palace but she was not familiar.

At this moment when she was searching for the route to go out of the palace, the crown prince walk there.

The crown prince could see that someone was there, and he slowly walks to the person hoping that person was the dancer he is looking for.

In front of him, the dancer was in dilemma. She didn't know what should she do. Closing her eyes she becomes ready to face the crown prince and get caught.

Suddenly a strong hand pull her behind the bushes.

The dancer becomes shocked she was about to scream when the person who pulled her puts his hand in her mouth and signals her to keep silent.

The crown prince was about to look behind the bushes when someone called him from behind.

" Yo... Your... royal highness"

He turned behind to see a lady standing looking shyly at him.

" Your royal highness what are you doing here alone?? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" The lady asked with concern.

" May I know who this young miss is "? Jin Yuchen asked.

The young lady was hurt facing the crown princess's question. She had known crown prince Jin Yuchen from her childhood to now but he never remembers her.

Every time she tries to strike up a conversation with him after gathering a lot of courage, he doesn't even look at her.

" I am Prime Minister Si's only daughter, Si Huan. I think your royal highness forget but we grew up together" The lady who said herself the young miss of the Si family said.

She was prepared to hear a positive response from him but to her surprise.

" But I seem to meet you first time young miss hmmm what's your family name, yah Young miss Si? And one thing young Miss Si I don't like being followed. You don't have any right to question me a crown prince, whoever your father is" Saying this The crown prince walks away from there leaving Young Miss Si frozen in her spot.

Being the only daughter of Prime Minister Si, the lady known for her beauty throughout the whole Jin dynasty, she felt her ego being hurt. She has always thought that there is no match for the crown prince other than her.

No one deserved to be in the place to be crown princess other than her. She is sure that one day she will be his crown princess in any circumstance.

Thinking this she smiles evilly and walks away from there.

Behind the bushes, the man and the dancer were in an awkward position hearing the crown prince indirectly rejecting young Miss Si.

The dancer and the man stare at each other. Although the man was handsome and good looking but not compared to the crown prince.

While the man was trying to look at the face of the dancer behind the vile.

He was curious to know about the dancer who made the almighty crown prince run after her.

He was about to remove the vile from the face but was suddenly stopped by the dancer. The dancer pushes the man and walks away from there quickly.

Halfly lying on the floor he smiles looking at the running dancer.

He was the young master Li Shangtong of the Li family. One of the wealthiest, most powerful and most influential Clans of the Jin dynasty.

Jin Yuchen walks back to the royal banquet where the Emperor was searching for him. He walks to the emperor and starts having a small talk with other ministers and officials.

Although he was there, his mind and heart were on the dancer whom he had seen. This was the first time someone had occupied his mind. He felt so attracted to the unknown dancer.

He just hope that one last time he could again meet the person with that familiar eyes.
