After glancing at it a few times, he was quite satisfied and couldn't help but feel a little smug. So he put down the bronze mirror and turned around to show it to everyone.

When a person is in a good mood, they naturally have a big smile on their face and ask, "How was it? How was it compared to before?"

Everyone in the room stared wide-eyed, as if they had seen a ghost, and no one answered. It was Princess Her Highness who had the composure to react first.

"The man saw the older sister briefly and thought she was beautiful, but he didn't expect her to be hiding her true beauty."

"Sister, you've really made us common folk look like dirt today! No wonder His Highness the Crown Prince is so fond of you, and no wonder Brother Yun always smiles when he talks about you."

It's clear that, in terms of looks alone, I can now completely outshine all my rivals. I no longer need to worry about Ji Ruchen being seduced by someone better-looking than me. Excellent, excellent.

If only I could get that troublesome brother Luo Qingyun back home, that would be even better. With him here, I wouldn't feel at ease even if I were in prison.

Although I still don't understand what he's up to, it's definitely not something good, so we need to be careful.

While I was thinking about how to get Luo Qingyun home, everyone in the room regained their composure and went about their business. The people around the princess all had extraordinary self-control.

Only Xiao Qing remained calm, with a hint of knowing and composure in her eyes. She smiled and looked at me with a somewhat fiery gaze.

I've seen all sorts of Xiao Qing, but this is the first time I've seen Xiao Qing like this. It gives me a strange feeling.

"Miss looks best like this, but you must wear a veil when you're out, lest those stinky men lust after you."

Xiao Qing's unpredictable mood is really hard to deal with. Oh well, let her be. I can't be bothered to argue with her.

Just then, someone outside reported that Ji Ruchen had returned, bringing with him a handsome young man with a fair complexion. He specifically asked to see me.

It's already noon, and this guy has finally arrived. He's really patient; isn't he afraid I'll turn his Crown Prince's residence upside down?

I couldn't wait to go out and see him, but the princess stopped me.

"Don't worry, big sister. You don't know the way. Let's go together."

I thought about it and realized it was true, so I nodded.

Upon arriving at the Crown Prince's reception hall, the first person I saw was not Ji Ruchen, but rather the femme fatale Luo Qingyun, her face beaming with desire.

"What a coincidence, big sister, we meet again. Your cell looks very nice, and the person in it looks very nice too." As she spoke, her eyes swept past me.

This guy, how did he manage to find his way here again? He's like a persistent ghost. So annoying.

"How could it be you, Ji Ruchen?"

"Are you looking for me?" A sinister voice came from behind; it was Ji Ruchen.

"I have something to ask you." Whenever I see Ji Ruchen, I feel a strange sense of joy and want to laugh. I tried my best to hold back my laughter and said what I wanted to say.

After a long silence, he finally spoke:

"Go ahead and ask. After you're done, go home with your brother. Don't be so willful and mischievous anymore, I..."

Ji Ruchen looked at me strangely; there was conflict, pain, and a hint of helplessness in me, but I felt no joy.

“I want to talk to you alone. I’m heartbroken, but I won’t give up.”

I have so many questions for him, but I was too tired yesterday to say anything. I need to be alone with him. I don't feel comfortable with Luo Qingyun around, especially since his nominal wife is here too.
