Burning desire filled their eyes when they looked at the teacher.
"Teacher, which His Highness… are you talking about? Can it be the Fourth Imperial Highness?" asked someone.
The teacher frowned slightly. "It's His Highness, the Crown Prince."
Xie Qiao heard those young ladies sigh softly as soon as the teacher spoke. Were they disappointed?
The Crown Prince was less likable than that Fourth Imperial Highness?
Xie Qiao thought it was interesting. However, she despised gossip like this, so she asked nothing.
A young lady who was straightforward among the crowd spoke. "Oh, so His Highness the Crown Prince is coming. So what if we perform a perfect sword dance? Do we expect His Highness, the Crown Prince, to admire us? If His Highness really likes us, it'll be troublesome, not a blessing. What's there to be happy about?"
