“…” The fog cleared.
“…” The fog cleared.
Ahhh, is this male protagonist hard of hearing?
He heard everything!!
She said she helped her eat it, but he heard it as eating her...
Shi Wuqing was speechless, so he simply turned his face away, snatched the pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.
Qi Luan realized what he had just said: "..."
"Ahem," Qi Luan explained, "Lingling, I'm sorry, I misheard."
Shi Wuqing didn't really want to talk to him, so she pretended to be shy, turned her back to him, and ignored whatever he said, eating happily.
You know what, pastries with this flavor are really delicious!
"Lingling." The man poked her waist.
"Lingling..." the man called again.
"Lingling, do you want another piece?" He handed over another piece of cake with his big, bony hand.
Shi Wuqing hesitated for two seconds, turned around, and whispered, "Aluan, listen to me carefully next time."
Then she took the pastry.
Qi Luan nodded, with an obvious smile in his eyes.
Shi Wuqing had just finished eating this piece when the carriage stopped.
arrive.
Qi Luan got off the carriage first, then reached out to help her down.
The eunuch was waiting for the two of them nearby. When he saw them coming down, he put on a smile and said, "Your Highness, Princess, please come this way."
Shi Wuqing was about to leave, but Qi Luan stopped her: "Wait."
"Um?"
"I'll go over there later."
As he spoke, Qi Luan gave a wink to the guard who was pulling the carriage. The guard understood immediately, got into the carriage, and soon brought out a small white plate with pastries.
"If you like, come in after you finish eating," said Qi Luan.
“…” The fog cleared.
She looked at the eunuch with a stiff and strange expression, then at Qi Luan with a normal expression, and finally, her eyes fell on the small plate.
"good!"
So, when everyone entered the banquet, Qi Luan took Shi Wuqing to eat cakes in a small pavilion in the distance.
Someone who happened to pass by saw this scene, and the news of their behavior spread to the banquet.
"This Prince Qi really dotes on Miss Shi..."
"Yes, on a day like this, he would accompany the princess there to eat cakes. It's obvious that he really holds her in his heart."
"I heard that a few days ago, Prince Qi took the princess to Feiyan to buy clothes and jewelry! He even held her hand when he got out of the car!"
"I'm so envious..."
Shi Yu was in a bad mood because of his father's affairs. He was standing alone in a corner of the crowd and happened to hear these words.
He felt even worse as he looked at those envious ladies.
That day, my mother went to Prince Qi's mansion, but returned empty-handed. When asked questions, she did not answer, but only comforted him that nothing was wrong... But it was obvious that something was wrong.
If Prince Qi doesn't help, there's still my sister to help persuade him. Shi Yu asked his sister what she said, but who knew that this question would make his mother's face even uglier.
No matter how stupid Shi Yu was, he knew that something had probably happened to his sister!
But my sister has become the Princess of Qi, what could go wrong?
——It must be that Prince Qi is not as doting on her as the outside world says. Instead, he criticizes her, dislikes her, and makes her suffer, right?
Shi Yu, who believed this, felt even more annoyed when he heard these people being so annoying.
Shi Yu is the only male in the Shi family. He has never experienced any intrigues and has a simple and straightforward personality. He was annoyed by those noble ladies and wanted them to stop discussing this matter.
But just as he took a step, a girl with a white veil on her face stood in front of him.
"Who are you?" Shi Yu frowned.
"Young Master Shi." The girl's voice was a little hoarse. Shi Yu had never heard this voice before, but he felt inexplicably familiar in the tone of voice.
"Who are you?" Shi Yu looked at the other person. How dare he wear a veil at a palace banquet?
"I..." The girl was about to say something when a loud noise came from the other side.
Shi Yu looked up and saw his sister walking towards him behind Prince Qi.
He immediately ignored the girl who seemed familiar to him, strode past her and walked towards Prince Qi and the other man.
"Shi..." The veiled girl, Shi Shuling, subconsciously wanted to call out to her brother, but before she could make a sound, the other party had already walked away.
Her brother, with his back to her, walked towards Shi Wuqing.
Shi Shuling clenched his fists, and with his beautiful eyes, he looked coldly at the "Princess Qi" who was surrounded by people.
…
As soon as Shi Wuqing and Qi Luan entered the banquet, a large group of people surrounded them and saluted:
"Greetings, Your Majesty and Princess."
"Yeah." Qi Luan nodded expressionlessly.
He had a powerful and cold aura, and coupled with his cold voice, the originally heated atmosphere instantly cooled down.
The hall was silent, and it was Shi Yu who stepped forward and broke the silence.
"Greetings, Your Majesty, Princess." Shi Yu hurriedly finished his greetings and looked at Shi Wuqing: "Sister."
Shi Wuqing raised the corners of his lips: "Brother, long time no see."
Shi Yu felt something was a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
He nodded happily, and seeing that his sister's face was rosy and did not look like she was living a miserable life, he felt a little relieved.
This is not a place for conversation. Qi Luan was about to take Shi Wuqing to sit down. Before Shi Yu could say a few words, he watched his sister being taken to a high position.
He sighed inwardly. It seemed that he could only find a chance to have a good chat with his sister after the banquet.
At this time, Shi Yu did not know how shocking the truth he would learn from the girl after the banquet.
