The thought of such an interesting woman accompanying him for a long time made Xuan Mingye's lips curl up involuntarily. With a smile, he looked at Qian Youxue and couldn't bear to look away.

I laughed!

Their icy prince actually smiled?

Leng Qing stared in disbelief at the changes before her. The ugly girl who everyone thought was unworthy of her master had become a celestial being, and now she saw her master's smile. She had encountered such good things. Surely something good was coming soon?

"My lady, you are so beautiful! Even more beautiful than a fairy in a painting." Yunhe couldn't help but exclaim.

Yunhe's voice pulled Qian Youxue back to reality from her infatuation. She urged Yunhe to hurry up. Even though she didn't quite get along with Xuan Mingye, she still possessed the magnanimity to stand together against outsiders. Besides, how could she not retaliate appropriately for the humiliation the Crown Prince had inflicted upon her?

In the front hall, the Crown Prince and Prince Yi sipped tea and refreshments served by servants, each eagerly anticipating seeing their sixth brother make a fool of himself. The thought of the once mighty War King, now a cripple unable to even stand, with an incredibly ugly princess standing beside him, made for a truly spectacular scene.

Unfortunately, they will all be disappointed this time.

To help Qian Youxue perform the role well, Xuan Mingye, unusually, had her carried out in a sedan chair to greet the guests. The beautiful woman accompanying her drew several glances from the servants of the Prince's mansion.

"Look, there's another woman by the prince's side."

"I knew the prince wouldn't be able to stand that ugly woman, and he'd probably be kicked out in a few days."

"Look, that woman is so beautiful, like a fairy descended from heaven. Only a beauty like her is worthy of our prince."

"I wonder which family's daughter she is; I've never seen her before!"

"She must be a girl from some powerful family. How could our prince possibly be interested in an ordinary person?"

Xuan Mingye and the others had excellent senses, and they heard every word. Xuan Mingye's expression turned grim, and Leng Qing also felt that these people were simply courting death.

Yunhe cursed these gossipy women in her heart, but Qian Youxue ignored them and just kept walking forward. She just wanted to see that hateful crown prince and that disgusting Prince Yi as soon as possible.

In the hall, Uncle Cai, one of Uncle Long's subordinates, bowed and scraped as he served the two guests. Hearing their discussion of the Prince and Princess, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. However, when he looked up at the two, he concealed it.

Hearing footsteps outside, he knew that the prince and princess had arrived, so he turned around and went out to greet them.

"Mingcai greets Your Highness and Your Highness!" He walked to the door and gave the two a deep bow. He had been sent out on business by Uncle Long a couple of days ago and had just returned when he heard from his subordinates that the Crown Prince and Prince Yi had arrived. Therefore, he had not yet had a chance to go and pay his respects to the two of them.

"Get up!" Xuan Mingye raised his hand, and even sitting in the sedan chair, his majestic aura remained undiminished.

Uncle Cai, who had been worried that the prince would notice his aura, was somewhat relieved. But when he saw the beautiful woman standing beside him, he became a little dazed again.

I heard that Miss Qian was disfigured due to illness in her early years. So, which family does this fairy belong to?

He would have to ask Miss Qing about it later, lest he do something wrong and anger the prince.

"Uncle Cai, how dare you be so rude to the Princess!" Qing'er deliberately raised her voice.

Although Uncle Cai didn't understand for the moment, he was sure that Miss Qing had a reason for saying that, so he apologized first: "Your Highness, please forgive me! Your Highness, please forgive me!"

"Get up, Uncle Cai!" Qian Youxue raised her hand, her gaze already fixed on the hall.

Seeing Qian Youxue's eagerness, Xuan Mingye waved his hand, and the sedan chair was carried into the hall.

Seeing that Xuan Mingye was still wearing a mask, the Crown Prince and Prince Yi could not see his face at all. They could only look him up and down, and finally their gazes fell on Xuan Mingye's legs.

"May I ask what brings you two to my residence?" Xuan Mingye had never gotten along with the two men, and this was always his way of speaking.

In the past, the Crown Prince would have been wary of Xuan Mingye, but now that Xuan Mingye was a cripple who couldn't stand up, he naturally wouldn't give him any face. However, just as he was about to raise his head to say something, he was so attracted by Qian Youxue standing next to Xuan Mingye that he opened his mouth but couldn't utter a sound.

Not only the Crown Prince, but also Prince Yi was the same.

What a beautiful woman! How could she be with that good-for-nothing Xuan Mingye? What a waste of her talent!

"Sister-in-law Qian Youxue greets His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness Prince Yi!" A gentle smile appeared on Qian Youxue's face as she gracefully bowed to the two.

Boom!

Upon hearing this name, the Crown Prince felt as if his brain was about to explode. He would never believe that the beautiful woman in front of him was that ugly monster, Qian Youxue.

Prince Yi stared blankly at Qian Youxue, then at his elder brother, the Crown Prince.

Those who are blind must be regretting it now, right?

How could such a beautiful jade be something that mediocre people like you could possess?

Xuan Mingye felt a surge of pride, but after his pride subsided, he spoke slowly and deliberately: "The scar on the princess's face was just from eating something that caused poisoning. Yesterday, in order to treat my leg, Uncle Long found a highly skilled doctor. Although he was unable to cure my leg, he did completely remove the poison from the princess's body."

The Crown Prince swallowed hard, a lump forming in his throat. He cursed Qian Sheng inwardly, calling him the biggest idiot in the world. If he had paid even a little attention to Qian Youxue, this good-for-nothing wouldn't have a chance with her.

However, he forgot how much he disliked Qian Youxue back then, and even advised Qian Sheng to marry her off as soon as possible so as not to affect his marriage with Qian Muxue.

But now, Qian Youxue, who is standing in front of him, is already more beautiful than Qian Muxue. How could his heart not ache?

"Your Highness, my face is all better now, your legs will surely get better too." Qian Youxue deliberately showed affection by standing behind Xuan Mingye and tenderly massaging his shoulders.

This was the first time Xuan Mingye had ever received such treatment. Other scenes flashed through his mind as he grasped her snow-white hand that was resting on his shoulder.

Qian Youxue wanted to pull her hand back, but seeing the Crown Prince and Prince Yi staring at her, she could only obediently let them continue to take advantage of her.

Prince Yi stared at Qian Youxue for a while, and a picture appeared in his mind. He felt that Qian Youxue's face was somewhat familiar.

Qian Youxue quickly noticed the conflict in Prince Yi's eyes and naturally thought of the time she stole medicine from Prince Yi's residence. At that time, the other half of her face hadn't healed, so when she disguised herself, she took a shortcut and only worked on the unhealthy half. Although her appearance after the disguise was somewhat different from her current one, there were still some similarities.

Could it be that Prince Yi saw through it?
