As he spoke, Steward Shen had already coughed lightly, and the guests below suddenly quieted down.

"Distinguished gentlemen and ladies. "First of all, on behalf of the head of the family, I would like to express my gratitude to all of you, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend Miss Lily's coming-of-age ceremony. ”

"Rite of passage?" Yun Yi had doubts in his eyes.

Seeing that he was puzzled, Li Lan quietly took Yun Yi's hand, deliberately made the intimate movements of a female companion, and at the same time gently pressed her body against Yun Yi's arm, and explained in a low voice: "The Shen family is different from other dominant families, the coming-of-age ceremonies of our other families are all carried out after the completion of school, that is, around the age of fifteen or sixteen, while the Shen family's is carried out in the same year as entering the academy. You can understand that this is an ancient aristocratic custom. ”

At this moment, Steward Shen had already solemnly said everything that should be said, and then he raised his hand, "Then, please calm down now, please come out with tonight's protagonist, dear Miss Lily!"

As soon as the words fell, the light in the entire hall suddenly dimmed, and in a few moments, several beams of light focused on the staircase above the staircase.

In the silence, a figure slowly walked out of the staircase. She was dressed in a snow-white dress, like a blooming lily, and under the faint light, the dress seemed to be covered with a faint glow. She slowly walked out of the stairs, stepping on the steps, floating down step by step, her long skirt gently undulating, like a soft cloud.

Her blonde hair was draped like waves behind her, setting off her snow-white and pink face, and a jeweled necklace around her neck reflected the brilliance.

Shen Lili stood where Steward Shen was before. The old butler took a few steps back slightly, and stood beside her with a beaming look. His eyes were shining, and he was looking proudly at the front level.

Yunyi finally knew why Li Lannani was so painstakingly fitting and fitting one by one. If you casually wear a dress, I am afraid that it will deeply tarnish the dignity and seriousness of this ball!

The audience was amazed, and the eyes of many family owners burst into brilliance, and their eyes showed appreciation. And the children who followed them, among the boys, their eyes had involuntarily projected a light of admiration - Shen Lili was dressed like a doll, so delicate and noble beauty, the people present saw it, and nine out of ten would hold it in the palm of their hands and take care of it.

Yun Yi also looked at Shen Lili with brilliance, but he didn't have much admiration in his heart. He took Shen Lili's dress match very carefully in mind. If he had to say anything, there was only one thought in his heart at the moment: such clothes seemed to be very suitable for plums!

Meizi's style of dress is very plain and elegant, but this does not mean that she will not like dresses - dresses are used on many occasions, and it is normal to have a few bodies. Of course, this is Li Lan's original words, the words of Xiao Nizi, who grew up in the dominant family. Yunyi is still quite concerned.

Shen Lili walked to the front of the stage, smiled and greeted all the guests, and then began to make a high-sounding speech...... Well, just some kind words......

"I'm waiting for your coming-of-age ceremony. Do you want to go through such a formality?" Yun Yi whispered to Li Lan, who immediately gave her an angry look, and stretched out a hand to Yun Yi's waist. Twisted a handful of soft meat with great skill, "Don't speak." Listen well!" she said and looked at Shen Lili, who was standing in front of the stage like a speech, with a happy face. The best friend has passed this day for a long time, how can she not be happy.

It's Yunyi. I only felt a pain in my waist, and the corners of my mouth twitched subconsciously. After that, he surrendered his gaze to Shen Lili, and this look suddenly gave him a different feeling - of course, this is not some love at first sight, spring heart sprouting or something, but a very strange induction...... It's very cordial, but it's not the kind of intimacy between relatives, at least, Yunyi can't tell the feeling.

"Finally, on behalf of the family, I would like to thank all of you for coming, and it is a great honor for Lily to be able to celebrate this coming-of-age ceremony in the presence of all of you. Shen Lili hung her head slightly, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and made a bowing motion. Immediately afterwards, a rather majestic patriarch walked down the stairs on the other side, and under the gaze of everyone, he completed an important process of the coming-of-age ceremony: he gently tapped a scepter on Shen Lili's eyebrows, and then did not know what obscure language he spoke, and finally put the princess crown of an ancient nobleman on her head, kissed her lightly on the cheek, and took her hand.

"From now on, Miss Lily is a grown girl. Then, in accordance with the tradition of ancient glory and the present glorious heaven, let's invite our protagonist to start the first dance of tonight's ball!"

As soon as he thought of these words, there was a slight agitation in the crowd in the audience, and almost every young man straightened his chest, trying his best to make a majestic appearance, eager to be lucky enough to get Shen Lili's fragrance.

Shen Lili was born in a wealthy family, and she can be regarded as a lady, although she is only twelve years old, she also shows her grace with a smile. At this moment, she raised her head calmly, and with the slight movement of the lotus step, her gaze also swept softly over the young boys one after another. Suddenly, her gaze stopped on Yun Yi's body, and then a look of surprise flashed from the depths of her beautiful eyes.

There are also few people who noticed the stay of Shen Lili's gaze, and some boys who were hidden in the dark followed her gaze and looked at Yunyi, and there was envy and jealousy in their eyes-because no matter who knew what her gaze meant at this moment!

However, while everyone was waiting for Shen Lili to walk towards Yunyi and send out an invitation to dance, Shen Lili didn't do that. Her eyes fell on Li Lan, who was gently holding Yunyi's arm, and her eyes couldn't help but have a hint of joy, and then her jade lips opened lightly, and she said with a little joy, "Lan Lan, after the dance, be sure to get together with me!"

Li Lan was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Yun Yi's body without a trace, and then naturally nodded to Shen Lili. (To be continued......)
