HRPM – Chapter 249 Various Ingenious Tricks for the Prize (1)

These men were so inexperienced. Once they saw the dance costume hidden beneath her outer robe, wouldn’t they completely lose their minds?

“Who would dare cause me trouble? Hmph, what I’m attracting is wealth. Haha! In a little while, there’ll definitely be lots of young masters giving me gifts and rewards. Just thinking about it makes me happy.” Jin Luoluo dismissed the concern and cheerfully sat down beside Xiao Luo.

“What performance are you planning to do?” Xiao Luo tilted his head and gazed at Jin Luoluo’s exquisite face. The crystals beside her brows sparkled one flash after another, making his heart skip in rhythm, even his breathing turning lighter.

“A dance. The only thing I can really show off is dancing. But I don’t actually know that many dances, so I just picked the one I’m most familiar with.”

Her instructor had said she danced quite well, though she had no idea how much exaggeration was in those compliments. Still, since these ancient people had never seen belly dancing before, technical mistakes didn’t really matter. The important thing was that it looked good.

Xiao Luo could not help worrying. If her skills were only average, it would be extremely difficult to stand out.

“Dance is the most common talent performance. Only a truly breathtaking dance has a chance to distinguish itself. How good are you really? Shouldn’t you switch to something else?”

“No switching. I’m even worse at everything else. Don’t worry—since you even brought the Sea Pearl to cheer me on, I’ll definitely make you look good.”

“The competition is about to begin. I believe every young master here already has a beauty he supports. If you wish to build momentum for your favored beauty, then open your purses generously! Present gifts and rewards to win a smile from the beauty of your choice!”

After the middle-aged host finished speaking, voices announcing gifts immediately began ringing out from the painted pleasure boats around the lake.

Some people, more direct and vulgar, simply gifted gold and silver treasures.

“Young Master Zhang from the eastern district gifts the Minister’s daughter one thousand taels of silver!”

Others, more refined, presented elegant and unique offerings.

“The Imperial Scholar presents Miss Baili with an ancient poetic painting scroll!”

The rewards were not limited to gold or jewels—anything valuable could be offered.

One voice in particular rang out loudly above all the others, echoing across the lake.

“The Third Prince gifts the Prime Minister’s daughter the Baiyun Inkstone!”

Instantly, an uproar broke out all around. Everyone knew the Baiyun Inkstone was a legendary masterpiece among inkstones, worth far more than ten thousand pieces of gold. More importantly, only a handful of them still existed in the world.
