Chapter 22 Clinging to the Princess
Qin Qixuan's consciousness retreated, and many people saw it.
Zhou Fangze's outstretched hand was stunned in the air. After a few seconds, he seemed to come to his senses and awkwardly retracted his hand.
He showed a sad expression and pretended to smile stiffly, as if Qin Qixuan had bullied him.
People around also saw this scene and whispered to each other.
"I think the relationship between the top scholar and the second and third scholars is not that good. The top scholar may be a little arrogant."
"He has real talent and knowledge, so it's normal for him to be a little arrogant. Maybe he just avoided him because he was afraid of causing the third scholar to fall off his horse."
No, Big Brother really hates Zhou Fangze.
Little Xixi rolled his eyes.
[This trick is really familiar the more I see it, isn't this Zhou Qing from last time! Like mother, like son, male and female green tea, lol lol!
Pei Xuanyi on the side looked at Zhou Fangze thoughtfully, and felt that this man was a bit scheming, not a broad-minded person.
As Zhou Fangze's follower, Du Wenxun couldn't stand Qin Qixuan being like this.
"Fangze was kind enough to save you, but you ignored him and deliberately embarrassed him in public. What's your intention!"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Qin Qixuan was going too far.
"As the top scholar, how can you be so unruly? I think you are not as good as Brother Fangze."
Zhou Fangze pretended to persuade Du Wenxun to stop talking, but in fact he secretly added fuel to the fire.
"Wenxun, Brother Qixuan didn't mean it. We should focus on the overall situation and not create disputes at this time."
Qin Qixuan sneered in his heart.
He was too lazy to continue admiring the brotherhood between the two men, so he continued to move forward without saying a word.
Du Wenxun was angered by his disdainful attitude, but since the other party ignored him, he could only hold his anger in his stomach.
At this time, everyone in the room understood the farce that had just happened.
Fu Qian shook his head in anger.
"Du Wenxun is a young boy with a lot of temper. He didn't know how to control his temper according to the occasion in such a big scene as a horse parade. Instead, he caused internal conflicts and made people laugh."
The eldest princess nodded.
"This number one scholar is quite magnanimous. He will definitely be a man of many talents in the future."
Of course!
Qin Xixi proudly put her hands on her waist.
[My eldest brother is the best!]
Qin Qixuan heard his sister's voice from afar. His stern expression eased slightly and he showed a gentle smile.
He looked up in the direction of the voice and met his sister's proud eyes.
He gave his sister a big smile.
Zhou Fangze naturally paid attention to Qin Qixuan's expression. He wondered what Qin Qixuan saw.
He looked in the direction of Qin Qixuan's eyes and saw Fu Qian and the eldest princess smiling beside him.
The eldest princess!
Zhou Fangze lowered his eyes in jealousy.
How could Qin Qixuan marry the eldest princess! These originally belonged to him!
Since Qin Qixuan could make friends with the princess, why couldn't he?
Zhou Fangze hid the jealousy in his eyes and put on his usual smile again.
He was always bold, pretending to have seen it by accident, and immediately saluted the princess and her entourage.
"Student greets the teacher and the princess."
Fu Qian didn't have any opinion on Zhou Fangze, and he responded after hearing it.
Although the princess was a little surprised that he could actually find them, she also took into account the majesty of the royal family and nodded with a smile.
Only Pei Xuanyi had a blank expression and was unmoved.
Qin Xixi couldn't help but have a better impression of Pei Xuanyi.
[The little grandson has a good eye, he must have seen at a glance that Zhou Fangze was not a good person. 】
In fact, Pei Xuanyi only knew how sinister Zhou Fangze was under his dignified appearance because he heard Qin Xixi's inner voice.
"Grandma, you have held Xixi for so long, let me hold her for you."
Pei Xuanyi interrupted Zhou Fangze's thoughts of continuing the conversation.
Hearing this, the princess reluctantly handed Qin Xixi to Pei Xuanyi, after all, her arms were indeed a little sore.
In fact, she was also a little dissatisfied with Zhou Fangze's deliberate conversation.
She had come out to join in the fun in hiding, and now her whereabouts were exposed, and she could only go back to the palace later.
Although Zhou Fangze felt a little regretful for not talking to the eldest princess, he thought he had been polite in front of her and the eldest princess should have some impression of him, so he continued riding forward with satisfaction.
Qin Qixuan just recognized that the noble lady holding Xixi was actually the eldest princess. Although he was a little surprised, he could guess that it was because of the favor of His Royal Highness the Grandson of the Emperor.
Thinking that Xixi would be fine with Pei Xuanyi around, he felt relieved.
Soon the team passed the street and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.
Qin Xixi was still being held by Pei Xuanyi at this time, and she felt very comfortable.
[The little grandson of the emperor’s embrace is so warm! I like it. 】
She rubbed Pei Xuanyi contentedly, causing Pei Xuanyi to feel itchy on his face, as if he was rubbed by some small animal.
【Of course, it would be even better if the little grandson of the emperor could give me meat. 】
Qin Xixi still didn't forget the piece of meat she was greedy for.
At this time, the table was already full of dishes ordered by the previous few people. It can be said that each one is delicious and appetizing.
Especially for a greedy child like Qin Xixi!
There are so many delicious foods, but at this time, she can only eat the thin noodles that the princess ordered for her.
There is no taste at all, and the soup is bland.
She was used to eating delicacies from land and sea in her previous life, and she really couldn't stand this kind of gap.
Pei Xuanyi laughed when he heard that she wanted to eat meat.
Although he had never taken care of a child, he had been a child himself!
Qin Xixi can't eat meat in big mouthfuls now.
After thinking about it, Pei Xuanyi ordered someone to buy Qin Xixi some candy for teeth grinding, so that she could hold it in her mouth and think less about meat.
Qin Xixi was a little disappointed, but at least she didn't get to eat meat but still had candy, so she accepted it reluctantly.
After the group had eaten and drunk their fill, the third brother also understood that Pei Xuanyi and the others had no ill intentions towards him and his sister.
But after all, the imperial power was majestic, and the third brother didn't dare to stay any longer.
"Since the horse riding parade is over, I'd better carry Xixi back to the mansion. Thank you, His Royal Highness, for your hospitality!"
The eldest princess nodded.
"It just so happens that I have to go back to attend the Golden Examination Banquet."
She knew very well that her brother was going to choose a son-in-law for his beloved princess this time.
Of the three people just now, she thought that only Qin Qixuan was good, and the other two were not up to standard.
She had to go back to the palace quickly to tell her brother.
Qin Xixi was excited when she heard it.
[Jinke Banquet! Xixi also wanted to go to the Jinke Banquet. In the original book, the Jinke Banquet was very lively, and there were so many big melons to eat! ]
Qin Xixi, a gossip expert, couldn't miss every gossip!
Although the plot has changed a lot because of the butterfly effect of her time travel, she didn't know if she could see that big show.
She looked at Pei Xuanyi eagerly, with desire in her eyes.
[Take me there, little grandson of the emperor, take me there! ]
Pei Xuanyi was naturally reluctant to refuse Qin Xixi.
"I think Xixi also wants to go to the Jinke Banquet. How about the Third Young Master go back home first, and I will take Xixi to the palace."
