Chapter 313: Intoxicated
Out of consideration for Ning Jiewei's reputation, Xu Mingqian gave up the Xu family's carriage and let her lie down; he hired another carriage and followed behind, escorting her all the way to the Ningguo Mansion.
After confirming that Xu Mingqian had left, Ning Yunxi then came to Chunxuanju and called out softly.
"Fourth sister, it's time to wake up."
Hearing this, Ning Jiewei opened her eyes and smiled, threw back the quilt, got out of bed, and immediately held her sister's hand.
"Thank you, Third Sister."
Ning Yunxi smiled happily and sat down with her sister.
"You were next door, did you hear everything?"
Ning Jiewei looked shy and pleased, feeling somewhat uneasy.
"Yeah, I heard it almost clearly. Could it be that he knew I was next door and deliberately expressed his feelings in order to trick me?"
Ning Yunxi shook her head and disagreed.
"I don't think so. Why do you think so?"
Ning Jiewei stared at him intently, her face full of admiration.
"Sister, you used the beauty trap to catch him off guard. He should have fallen for it. How could he just ignore it?"
"It turns out that the beauty trap, in addition to moving the man with charm, can also be sincere, making him mistakenly believe that he has met a true lover. To be honest, when I first heard my sister describe the plan, I had doubts and was unwilling to agree with it, but after seeing it, I realized how clever it was."
She took the tea from the maid and placed it in front of her sister.
"Sister, your words are so vivid. I was in a trance several times. I always felt that what you said about your admiration for Lord Xu came from the bottom of your heart."
Ning Yunxi was startled and quickly waved her hands to distance herself from Xu Mingqian.
"I have absolutely no such intention, please do not misunderstand me."
Ning Jiewei smiled obediently, almost trying to act coquettishly.
"It doesn't matter if you are my sister. I am willing to be your mistress."
Ning Yunxi saw through her sister's feelings, and she couldn't bear it and was reluctant to let her go.
"So you really plan to marry him?"
"Although I am sincere, I have a wife. If you marry her, wouldn't it be unfair for you to be a concubine?"
Ning Jiewei pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, which conveyed a hint of disgust.
"He's so old, I won't marry him."
Ning Yunxi understood what she meant, so she said no more, smiled lightly, and changed the subject.
"Yiren Qingcheng will be finished ahead of schedule. After lunch, let's go take a look together. My brother said that the first broadcast might be tense, so let me take you to rehearse."
Ning Jiewei didn't understand what he meant.
"dress rehearsal?"
Ning Yunxi's words are concise and to the point.
"It's just a trial run ahead of time, just as if the audience is already in place."
Ning Jiewei quickly understood what he meant and was delighted.
"Your Highness has thought this through, so let's go to rehearsal."
Ning Yunxi smiled helplessly.
"Look at you, you're always so impatient. No hurry, let's have lunch first."
Ning Jiewei's eyebrows danced with joy and she never got tired of it.
"The profession that my sister has chosen is really interesting, so I am so eager to show it off. Why don't we go to rehearse first while we are still eating?"
Ning Yunxi told the truth.
"In the store, finished in the afternoon."
Ning Jiewei looked disappointed.
"Ah - do we have to wait until the afternoon? Well, I'll just have dinner first."
Ning Yunxi made a humorous remark.
"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Anchor."
Ning Jiewei's lips curled up with a hint of satisfaction.
"This name is also interesting and unique. I like it very much."
Ning Yunxi followed suit and smiled.
"As long as you like it."
After lunch, Ning Yunxi and her sister came to Yiren Qingcheng.
The time was just right, and the beautiful woman had completely renovated the house, with all the necessary furnishings in their proper places.
After receiving their rewards, the workers left one after another; Qiu Bi and a group of servants were cleaning the place.
Ning Yunxi pointed to the platform and made a soft suggestion.
"Try to feel it. Are you afraid of heights? Do you feel nervous?"
After saying that, she supported her sister and climbed up the platform step by step from the side stairs.
Ning Jiewei tasted the body smell and smiled and shook her head.
"The height is just right, I am not afraid..."
Before she could finish her words, she heard a high-pitched, ethereal echo that stopped her in surprise.
"My...my voice, why has it become so loud?"
Ning Yunxi answered calmly.
"This is what my brother taught me. Anyone who stands on a high platform should do this. Without exhausting your voice, it can be heard everywhere in the living room. You can also slightly modify your voice to make it melodious and intoxicating."
Ning Jiewei listened carefully and complimented from the bottom of her heart.
"Your Highness is a man of extraordinary talent and learning, unprecedented in history, and he is the only one of his kind."
Ning Yunxi smiled faintly and made no comment.
"Shall we start rehearsal?"
Ning Jiewei's lips were sweet and her eyes were full of anticipation.
"it is good."
Ning Yunxi touched the silver ring, took out a bottle of lotion and handed it over.
"Why don't you try broadcasting a beauty explanation about skin softening water?"
Ning Jiewei nodded and smiled, took the porcelain bottle, explained calmly, and recited it fluently.
"Softening water, used to adjust the acidity and alkalinity of the skin..."
After introducing the effects, there is a personal demonstration so that the audience can learn how to use it.
Ning Jiewei rolled up her sleeves one section at a time and slowly poured the softening water onto her arms, dripping down. Her expression was graceful and graceful, and no words were needed to describe it.
Looking down from a high position, without any arrogance, she glanced at all the guests with an lingering gaze, her charm not yet exhausted, and her seductiveness penetrating into their bones.
Ning Yunxi realized something was wrong and was shocked.
Seeing her sister was about to apply lotion with her slender fingers, Ning Yunxi immediately stopped her.
"Fourth sister, wait a minute!"
"What are you doing?"
Ning Jiewei looked as if it was a matter of course.
"Of course I'm demonstrating how to use it. If I remember correctly, toner can be applied on the arms?"
Ning Yunxi was still stunned, and even felt a little bit more anxious.
"Yes, I can, but you're... too... why are you suddenly so amorous?"
Ning Jiewei was calm and composed, and behaved gracefully.
"If I don't show my flirtatious side, how can others see my strengths?"
Ning Yunxi looked somewhat embarrassed and tried to persuade him patiently.
"You don't have to show off, you are charming enough. Just follow the method I taught you to explain and talk leisurely. With your pleasant and clear voice, you will surely amaze everyone."
Ning Jiewei was extremely reluctant and refused directly.
"That won't work. If the rules are really boring and I stand on the stage, where will I put all my enthusiasm?"
Whenever Ning Yunxi faced her sister like this, she was helpless and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.
"Hmm... this..."
Ning Jiewei's thoughts were in turmoil and she had countless ideas.
"My sister's explanation is also boring. I have thought of changing it a little bit to make each word more vivid so that we can retain our distinguished guests."
Ning Yunxi was startled when she heard this.
“How to make every word vivid?”
Ning Jiewei adjusted her outer garment, revealing her graceful shoulders and figure.
"So, while explaining..."
Ning Yunxi didn't even take a glance before quickly stopping him.
"Just wait!"
Ning Jiewei felt disappointed and looked unhappy.
"Third sister is old-fashioned and boring, so boring!"
Ning Yunxi walked quickly over and helped her sister put on her clothes.
"Don't be angry, just listen to my explanation."
"How will they view Yiren Qingcheng's live broadcast if you behave like this? Outsiders may not care about it, but if your father and mother saw it, wouldn't they be heartbroken and blame you?"
Ning Jiewei frowned and became angry and willful.
"In order to make them feel at ease, they have to restrict me. It can be seen that my sister doesn't value me at all?"
Ning Yunxi looked at him tenderly and spoke earnestly.
"What are you talking about? I'm just worried that you'll suffer a loss."
Ning Jiewei raised her chin slightly and smiled happily.
"I am enjoying myself, so how can I say I am at a disadvantage? My youth is the best time to enjoy myself. If I don't enjoy myself now, should I wait until I am old?"
Seeing her sister's increasingly distressed expression, she impatiently waved her sleeves and reluctantly agreed.
"At most, I can restrain myself from showing off too much, is that ok?"
Ning Yunxi's expression changed and she was delighted.
"Very good, very good! Thank you very much, Fourth Sister. I am sorry for having wronged you."
