Chapter 247 Bai Zixuan Hosts a Gathering and Banquet

Since Bai Zixuan fell in love with Lin Ruoxue, he wanted to win her favor. In order to create an opportunity to get along with Lin Ruoxue, he decided to hold a grand gathering and banquet.

Bai Zixuan carefully selected the most beautiful garden in Nanyue Kingdom as the venue. In the garden, hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, and colorful flowers compete to bloom, like a colorful painting. The clear stream gurgles and makes a pleasant sound. Pavilions and towers are scattered in the garden, and each one is carefully decorated and full of artistic atmosphere.

Bai Zixuan, wearing a moon-white robe and holding a folding fan, stood at the entrance of the garden gracefully to welcome the guests. His face was filled with a confident smile and his heart was full of expectations.

"At today's gathering and banquet, I must let Lin Ruoxue see my sincerity and charm." Bai Zixuan thought secretly.

As the guests arrived one after another, the garden gradually became lively. The scholars dressed in gorgeous clothes, holding books or musical instruments, exchanged poems, calligraphy, painting and music art with each other. The nobles wore noble dresses and precious jewelry to show their wealth and status.

Bai Zixuan moved among the crowd, chatting with the guests from time to time, showing his wit and humor. However, his eyes were always looking for Lin Ruoxue.

Finally, Lin Ruoxue appeared. She was wearing a light blue dress, her hair was long and her eyes were bright, like a fairy descending from the earth. Bai Zixuan's eyes lit up instantly, he walked quickly to Lin Ruoxue, smiled and said: "Miss Lin, you can come to today's elegant gathering and banquet, it really makes this place shine."

Lin Ruoxue frowned slightly and responded politely, "Mr. Bai, thank you for your praise."

Bai Zixuan took Lin Ruoxue for a stroll in the garden, introducing her to various beautiful flowers and exquisite buildings. "Miss Lin, look at this peony, it is so beautiful, just like your beauty, it makes people intoxicated." Lin Ruoxue just glanced at it lightly and said nothing more.

Bai Zixuan was not discouraged, he continued to find topics to discuss with Lin Ruoxue. "Miss Lin, are you interested in poetry, calligraphy and painting? There are many famous writers here today, their works will definitely open your eyes."

Lin Ruoxue gently shook her head and said, "Mr. Bai, I just came to take a look. I'm not very interested in these."

Bai Zixuan felt a little disappointed, but he did not give up. He decided to show his talent at the gatherings and banquets to impress Lin Ruoxue.

The gathering began, and scholars showed their works one after another. Some recited poems and painted, some played musical instruments, and some performed dances. Bai Zixuan also performed a poem he wrote on stage. His voice was clear and pleasant, and the poem had a beautiful artistic conception, which won the applause of everyone.

However, Lin Ruoxue just smiled faintly and did not show any special appreciation. Bai Zixuan was full of frustration, but he was still unwilling to give up.

The banquet began, and the table was filled with delicious food. Bai Zixuan specially prepared some dishes that Lin Ruoxue liked, but Lin Ruoxue ate very little.

"Ms. Lin, are these dishes not to your taste?" Bai Zixuan asked with concern.

Lin Ruoxue shook her head and said, "Mr. Bai, I appreciate your kindness, but I really don't have an appetite."

Bai Zixuan sighed helplessly, he knew that his pursuit was still a long way to go. But he did not give up, he believed that as long as he persevered, he would be able to impress Lin Ruoxue one day.
