Hearing this, Lian Jinyu and An Zhongtao showed embarrassment on their faces. An Qingran knew that there was something wrong with her wording. None of them could understand her mood at the moment. She pulled her mother with one hand and her father with the other and asked them to sit at the lower seats. The seat at the top was naturally for the prince. No matter how happy she was, she could not forget such a thing.
An Zhongtao politely gave way to the prince, and Dongfang Jin spoke up, "I am just a common guest here to bother you today. Please don't let my presence interrupt your family time. Just pretend that Mu Han and I are not here, how about that?"
As he spoke, he sat down in the seat next to him, and Lian Muchan sat next to him. While everyone was sitting down, An Qingran glared at Lian Muchan fiercely, and the latter raised his eyebrows at him and blinked, with a weird look on his face!
An Qingran sat next to her mother. The maids first served a few soups before the meal. An Zhongtao ordered the maids to add more dishes because the prince was present. Dongfang Jin waved his hand and said, "General, if you are really so polite, I will leave now and not disturb you anymore..."
Only when the prince made a move to leave did An Zhongtao feel a little relieved.
As for An Qingran, she was not nervous at all. In her eyes, Dongfang Jin and Lian Muhan were just two children.
Having lived once, her state of mind has become more than ten years older.
Lian Muhan said, "Aunt, the lights in the general's mansion are really beautiful this year..."
Lian Jinyu asked, "Are the lights in the Lian Mansion not good this year?"
"It's good, but it's still the same style as last year, which makes it less interesting..."
"Does your father know you're here?"
"Father? Well, I don't know. I just told him that the prince and I went to the city to see the lanterns! Aunt, today is the Lantern Festival. It's a reunion for me and your family, right?"
"You kid!" Lian Jinyu smiled. She really couldn't bear to say anything about her nephew. Having watched the child grow up since he was a child, she knew that he had a kind heart and was just a little playful. As for the rumors outside, she didn't know about them. Even if she knew, she felt that those rumors were false.
Lian Muhan looked at An Qingran and said, "Cousin, why is this year different from previous years? Why didn't you take Yanran out to play with the lanterns?"
An Qingran glanced at him and smiled, "Not all habits will never change..."
"Well, well said!" Dongfang Jin looked at her with a smile in his eyes.
Lian Jinyu hurriedly said, "Ran'er, don't be presumptuous in front of the prince."
"Mother, he just told me not to be polite to him. I think the prince meant to have fun together with the people..." An Qingran smiled mischievously.
Hearing this, Dongfang Jin looked at her deeply again, with a meaningful smile on his lips.
An Qingran now feels that this prince is indeed extraordinary. The fact that such a smart guy like her cousin can hang out with him means that at least they have the same temperament.
She watched coldly and felt it was a pity. If the prince had not died early, it would never have been King Kang's turn to rule Dongze. What an evil pair of man and woman!
Thinking of this, she herself didn't even know what kind of hatred appeared in her eyes!
Dongfang Jin saw everything in just a glance. Lian Muhan didn't pay attention to it. He was paying attention to the expressions of his aunt and his uncle. They were too weird!
As for the affairs of the General's Mansion, he knew them better than anyone else. He knew them not because he was nosy, but because he was not blind!
