Chapter 40 The women of the Qin family went to the top blind date banquet to eat spectacles together!

Just when everyone was staring at the Qin family, Qin Yue finally woke up, and was blinded by the beautiful woman and handsome man in front of him.

[Wow! Sister, this place is indeed worthy of being a top blind date banquet. The people who come here are all very outstanding in appearance. It's so pleasing to the eyes! This young lady is so pretty, oh oh oh, this young man is also so pretty, oh oh oh oh...]

Everyone in the banquet hall suddenly heard a childish voice. Although they were prepared, many people were still startled, especially those who had never seen Qin Yue before.

Then, Qin Yue kept praising the young ladies and gentlemen at the banquet, which made the boys and girls who were only fifteen or sixteen years old shy, especially Princess Ningping, who was closest to Qin Yue.

Princess Ningping was wearing a light yellow long skirt, with a light yellow jade hairpin on her head, round almond eyes, slightly chubby cheeks, a small nose, a cherry mouth, and two cute canine teeth when she smiled.

When she walked, the hem of her skirt danced lightly, and she looked very smart and cute.

Princess Ningping was the daughter of the late King Mu.

King Mu was the legitimate brother of the current Majesty and the brother of Princess Jinyang. The three siblings had a deep relationship since childhood.

It's a pity that Prince Mu and Princess Mu died of illness when Princess Ningping was one year old, so Princess Ningping grew up next to Princess Jinyang.

Although she stayed with the cold Princess Jinyang all day long, Princess Ningping was very cute.

When Qin Yue praised her as "such a lovely little sister", Princess Ningping blushed immediately and hid behind Princess Jinyang with her head down, twisting her handkerchief.

Qin Yue saw the little sister's actions and thought she was even cuter, [Wow, this little sister in yellow is shy and hiding behind Princess Jinyang, she is really cute. 】

The system finally woke up at this time, slowed down its still somewhat confused thoughts, and looked in the direction of Qin Yue's gaze.

【Host, this is Princess Ningping, the niece of Princess Jinyang. Wait, there seems to be a melon! 】

This sentence was like a thunderclap out of the blue, hitting everyone present.

What seems to be a melon?

Princess Ningping's melon?

Everyone's faces changed.

Princess Jinyang's face, which was always calm, also showed some surprise at this moment.

She really didn't expect that Qin Yue, whom she invited, originally wanted to eat other people's melons, but she didn't expect that the first thing he ate was her own niece's melon. She couldn't help but feel a little worried.

If my sister says something bad about Ning Ping, with so many dignitaries present, the news will spread throughout the capital within half a day, and Ning Ping's marriage will definitely be affected.

I hope my sister will reveal a good melon! Princess Jinyang thought silently in her heart.

Qin Yue couldn't wait to speak: [Sure enough! I said, there must be melons to eat at the banquet! Sister, what kind of melon is it? Bring it up so that I can taste it! ]

As the person involved, Princess Ningping was already scared at this moment, her eyes widened, her mouth slightly opened, and she was so scared that she almost forgot to breathe.

Ah? How did he eat his own melon?

I don't seem to have done anything shameful!

Just now he praised me for being so cute? How come you change your face faster than turning a page of a book!

Wuwu...

The Qin family was suddenly embarrassed. They never expected that when they came to someone's manor for the first time, Sister Yue and the elder sister would expose the gossip of the host's family.

Do you want to leave first?

Just say that you suddenly remembered something at home?

Just when everyone was surprised or hesitant, the system slowly said: [Someone was tricked into marriage at today's banquet! ]

Qin Yue looked at these handsome men and beautiful women in front of her. It was a pity that such good looks were tricked into marriage. I don't know how they were tricked.

[Elder sister, which young man or young lady was tricked into marriage? These young men and women are so good-looking, how could they be tricked into marriage? Alas, it's such a pity! 】

System: [Xia Yuanshuang, the daughter of Lord Xia, the Minister of Works, is also the granddaughter of Xu Shangshu, the Minister of War. She is the young lady standing behind Princess Ningping, the girl in the light pink dress. 】

Princess Jinyang and Princess Ningping heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this. It turned out to be Wu Long.

Princess Ningping patted her chest and said, "Oh, it's okay. It's okay. As long as she doesn't eat her own melon, she said that she didn't do anything shameful."

Everyone looked at Xia Yuanshuang intentionally or unintentionally, and their eyes were full of curiosity. This girl was so beautiful, how could she be deceived into marriage?

Xia Yuanshuang was a little flustered by everyone's gaze, and she was very puzzled in her heart. She had never been engaged to anyone.

I came to the banquet with my aunt today to see if there was a suitable young man. How could I be deceived into marriage?

Xia Yuanshuang was a little overwhelmed, and looked at her aunt Xu who was standing beside her for help.

Xu did not expect that she brought her niece to the Qingping Banquet today to see if there was any suitable young man, but she did not expect that the young official and her sister would eat the melon.

However, she had not heard Yuanshuang’s father mention that Yuanshuang was already engaged, otherwise he would not have asked her to bring Yuanshuang to the Qingping Banquet.

Xu suddenly thought of someone again, and her eyes darkened. If this was true, it must be that person’s doing!

At this time, Xu could only suppress the speculation in her heart, nodded to Xia Yuanshuang soothingly, and took her hand and patted it gently.

Qin Yue followed the system's words and looked at Xia Yuanshuang. He was surprised. [Wow, what a beauty!]

Xia Yuanshuang had a standard oval face, a graceful and soft figure, skin as white as cream, a pair of beautiful eyes, and a charming smile. She was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting.

[Such a beauty was deceived into marriage. Sister, please tell me what happened in detail?]

Although the people at the banquet were scattered in different places in the courtyard, some were admiring the flowers in full bloom in the garden, some were sitting with friends to drink tea, and some were eating exquisite cakes.

But everyone pricked up their ears at the same time, wanting to hear what this fraudulent marriage was all about.

The system sorted out its thoughts and slowly said: [This Xia Yuanshuang's mother died of illness when she was very young, and then Xia Yuanshuang's father, Lord Xia, the Minister of Works, married Lady Liu, the younger sister of Lord Liu, the Minister of War.]

Qin Yue suddenly said: [Oh... So she is my stepmother.]

Qin Yue felt that this marriage fraud must be related to this stepmother!

System: [Yes, it is Xia Yuanshuang's stepmother.]

[After this stepmother married into the Xia Mansion, she was very cautious in the beginning. After all, Lord Xia loved his daughter very much, and Xia Yuanshuang was also the granddaughter of Xu Shangshu of the Ministry of War, so she was naturally cautious.]

[But since she gave birth to two sons in succession and she had completely established her foothold in the Xia Mansion, she began to put on airs in front of Xia Yuanshuang, thinking that she was her mother and could arrange everything for her.]
