I'll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law Chapter 265

Chapter 265

Marry Another (3)
After the first round of the polo match, the youngsters from both teams led their horses to the side so they could take a break.
Mrs. Li, who had prior experience in managing such events, swiftly called over a performing troupe to entertain guests so that they wouldn’t get bored while waiting for the next round.
One of the performers had sharp eyes and he could tell at a glance that Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang were of higher status among others, so he swiftly moved near Mu Mingtang’s pavilion.
Performer took out a piece of cloth with splendid embroidery of butterflies and flowers done on it. He showed it to the crowd by flipping it back and forth, then took out a pair of scissors from his pockets and cut a few embroidered butterflies in a circle.
Intrigued, Mu Mingtang suspiciously stared at the other party, as she couldn’t guess what trick the other party would perform.
After the performer cut off the cloth with butterflies, he blew on his hand and suddenly the embroidered butterflies in his hand turned into real ones and started to fly around him.
After seeing such a thing, Mu Mingtang couldn’t believe her eyes and cried out in amazement.
Others also had similar reactions and were extremely surprised. Those butterflies were colourful and extremely beautiful. They made two circles around the performer and then suddenly flew toward Mu Mingtang.
The performer flattered with a smile, “Ahaha, these little ones really know how to recognise the beauty. It’s a fact known to everyone that butterflies only surround a beautiful flower.”
The butterflies were already flying around Mu Mingtang, showing no fear that they usually do around people. Mu Mingtang knew that this was only a trick of the performer. The butterflies would fly towards the nearest seat, no matter who was sitting there today.
However, although Mu Mingtang understood all that, what could she do? She was just like any other ordinary young lady who liked to be praised and flattered for their beauty.
While Mu Mingtang was watching the butterflies with twinkling eyes, she saw two of them flying towards Xie Xuanchen, as if they wanted to sit on Xie Xuanchen’s shoulder, but Xie Xuanchen waved them away with a stony face. Seeing such a situation, Mu Mingtang couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing.
Xie Xuanchen glanced at Mu Mingtang, but Mu Mingtang was not afraid of him.
“These butterflies definitely know who the beauty is,” As Mu Mingtang finished speaking, she already had a teasing smile dancing on her lips.
Xie Xuanchen’s face grew dark, but he did not get angry, which shocked the onlookers.
God, has Xie Xuanchen started to pursue Buddhism? Since when was he so good tempered? There is actually someone who dares tease him and even make a joke about it in front of everyone?
Mu Mingtang looked at Xie Xuanchen and continued to smile happily. The butterflies flew for a while around them and returned to the performer. The performer waved his sleeve and all the butterflies disappeared in a blink of an eye. Later, he took out the cloth he had just cut a while ago, and everyone could see that it was not damaged even a bit and all the embroidery on it was intact.
Mu Mingtang was amazed and immediately applauded. Everyone in the audience was also astonished and followed Mu Mingtang to give a resounding applause. Looking at her radiant smile, Xie Xuanchen seemed very satisfied, and commanded, “Since you have succeeded in pleasing the Princess, I shall reward you for it. Except for the green ones, send all your fabrics to Prince An’s residence.”
To begin with, the performer had spent all his time creating those beautiful illusions, all for the sake so he could sell his clothes. This was also why he deliberately tried to ingratiate himself with Mu Mingtang after he made sure that Mu Mingtang and Xie Xuanchen were highest ranking people among those present.
However, even though the performer had expected that he would somewhat succeed, he was still surprised to hear Xie Xuanchen’s generous offer to buy almost all of his stock.
He was both surprised and happy, but he soon came back to reality before swiftly thanking Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang. He was very pleased with his earlier decision because a single smile from the Princess An let him know how much Prince An valued her and seemed like Prince An was also very satisfied with his performance. The performer praised Mu Mingtang and expressed his blessings.
Mu Mingtang gave a shy smile.
The performer finally left with a big smile. The guests had also enjoyed themselves. When others saw what Xie Xuanchen did today, they were all secretly amazed at his wealth and decisiveness.
After all, those clothes were nothing amazing, but because Mu Mingtang liked the performance, he bought them without blinking an eye, just to please his wife.
Being wealthy made people envious while being domineering made people incredibly amazed.
After seeing this, all the other performers wanted to do their best to please the other nobility. The more wonderful the performers’ magic, the more things they would sell.
Suddenly, feeling something wrong, Mu Mingtang frowned and gave Xie Xuanchen a suspicious look, “Why didn’t you buy green coloured clothing? What if that one has a more fine embroidery than other cloth?”
“No matter how beautiful it is,” Xie Xuanchen said leisurely. “I hate that colour.”
Mu Mingtang stared at him. Her eyes didn’t hide the disdain for his ridiculous reason.
