"Greetings, Your Highness!" He Xue curtsied to the Crown Prince.
"Why is it so quiet today?" the Crown Prince said, looking at He Xue.
"Brother Crown Prince, I've always been this quiet! Maybe you've misremembered!" He Xue said, dissatisfied. How could she save face in front of so many people?
Seeing that He Xue was unhappy, the Crown Prince quickly changed his tune, saying, "Alright, alright, you've always been very quiet. It's your brother who's mistaken!"
“That’s more like it!” He Xue said playfully.
"Don't eat too much later, understand?" The Crown Prince instructed He Xue with concern. He Xue had once felt extremely uncomfortable because she had eaten too much.
"I see!"
"Good boy!" the crown prince smiled.
Almost all the unmarried girls present were looking at the Crown Prince. They had always thought that the Crown Prince was stern and unsmiling, but they never expected that when the Crown Prince smiled, everything around him would pale in comparison.
The crown prince was dressed in a python robe. His angular face was as cold and sculpted as if it were made of stone. His deep black eyes shone with an unfathomable light. He was extremely handsome, yet he also exuded a mysterious and alluring charm.
The girls blushed when the prince entered, and now with a gentle, spring-like smile on his face, how could they not be moved?
Everyone was somewhat envious of He Xue, who had actually won the Crown Prince's favor. They also knew that He Xue held a very important position in the Crown Prince's eyes. It had to be said that the Crown Prince was truly good to He Xue! It seemed that they should try to befriend He Xue more in the future!
Intelligent people could also see the Crown Prince's intentions. Consort Yi had been watching the Crown Prince closely since he stood in front of He Xue. Why did she feel that the Crown Prince treated He Xue differently?
Consort Yi felt that she was probably overthinking things, and she needed to observe more.
“Brother Crown Prince, this is my cousin, Shi Jingrou!” He Xue introduced Shi Jingrou to the Crown Prince.
Upon seeing this, Shi Jingrou curtsied to the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince glanced at Shi Jingrou, then said to He Xue, "Your Highness, go ahead first. If you need anything, just have someone come find me!"
"I understand!" He Xue nodded in response.
After Xuejian saw the Crown Prince leave, she thought to herself, "Why did my brother only glance at Shi Jingrou? Shouldn't he have said something?"
He Xue felt a gaze fixed on her, making her feel uncomfortable. She followed the gaze and found that it was Rou Ze.
Rou Ze was looking at He Xue with resentful eyes. Why did the Crown Prince always see He Xue? She had dressed up specially today, hoping that the Crown Prince would notice her, but the Crown Prince didn't even give her a glance.
After Xue discovered it was Rouze, she made a face at her!
Rou was so angry that she would have definitely gone to confront He Xue if it weren't for the inappropriate occasion.
"He Xue, you're so funny!" Shi Jingrou laughed when she saw He Xue making funny faces. Her two younger sisters weren't as lively as He Xue.
"Sister, have you seen the Crown Prince? What do you think of him?" He Xue asked, very gossipy.
“The Crown Prince is not something we should discuss!” Shi Jingrou said.
"Oh dear, it's just you and me here, sister, it's nothing, tell me!" He Xue asked anxiously.
Although Shi Jingrou didn't know why He Xue asked that, she thought for a moment and said, "The Crown Prince was personally raised by the Emperor, so of course he's very good!"
"That's it?" He Xue asked, after waiting for so long, this was the only answer she got?
Why do the Crown Prince and Shi Jingrou seem to have no feelings for each other? The Crown Prince only glanced at Shi Jingrou, and Shi Jingrou just said such a high-sounding sentence.
If Shi Jingrou cannot get the Crown Prince's attention more now, things will probably turn out the same as in history.
She didn't know when Consort Li Jia entered Yuqing Palace. She had to get the Crown Prince and Shi Jingrou acquainted before Consort Li Jia did, so that the Crown Prince would discover Shi Jingrou's good qualities.
Has Emperor Kangxi not yet sent anyone to tutor Shi Jingrou? Why doesn't Shi Jingrou seem to have any feelings for the Crown Prince?
Can two people who have no feelings for each other really get along after being married because of an imperial decree? She should help them change this situation.
She really went to great lengths for the Crown Prince and Shi Jingrou!
"The Emperor has arrived! The Empress Dowager has arrived! The Empress Dowager has arrived!" The eunuchs' chants rang out.
He Xue bowed along with the others.
After Emperor Kangxi, the Grand Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager took their seats, everyone else rose and sat down.
The Empress Dowager looked at everyone present with her cloudy but shrewd eyes, and finally her gaze fell on one person.
