Princess Baoyi had a lot of wild thoughts, but she couldn't show it too directly on her face, for fear of making her third brother angry.
With the presence of Prince Qin and Prince Rui, the attitudes of the two princesses became much better than before, and Xiao Cunyu no longer had to be ordered around. However, the two princesses kept a distance from her, as if there was an irresistible stench on her body and they were afraid of being contaminated by it.
But even if everything was peaceful, in the eyes of others, Xiao Cunyu had become a poor guy who was not respected by the princess.
Xiao Cunyu didn't care at all.
It was a long time after the body was dealt with. The lanterns on the boat were hung up and a group of people got on board.
Prince Rui held a banquet on the boat, and musicians played music. The two princesses kept looking at Xiao Cunyu from time to time, and the more they looked, the more regretful they felt.
In terms of temperament and demeanor, Xiao Qillang has absolutely no problem. He chatted and laughed with Prince Rui and was not at all nervous. His whole body seemed to be glowing, making people want to take a few more glances at him, but... he was a little stupid.
In front of their royal brother, they spoke without hesitation and spoke frankly!
For example, at this moment, the third prince asked Xiao Cunyu why he appeared with the prince on the day of the Han family's wedding banquet.
If an ordinary person heard this, they would definitely be cautious. However, Xiao Qilang was so proud that he said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I are very compatible. His Royal Highness is kind and does not bear grudges. He is magnanimous and hates evil. Since the previous incident involved the Prince Consort, it was naturally the most appropriate person to tell the Crown Prince. Sure enough, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not suspect that I was fooling around and worked with me to find out the truth!"
His eyes revealed respect for the prince.
When Prince Rui and Prince Qin heard this, they felt...very upset.
I know you respect the prince, but now in front of them, you should at least restrain yourself a little!
"When you marry the third princess, you will be my own family. Xiao Qillang, please don't let me down!" Prince Rui said with a hint of meaning, and asked someone to pour a glass of wine for Xiao Cunyu.
Xiao Cunyu picked up the wine glass and put it to his lips. He was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have never done anything evil. I am definitely a good person and will not hold you back!"
Prince Rui's expression grew even darker.
Ever since the crown prince came into favor, his status in front of the emperor has plummeted. A few years ago, the emperor was always thinking of deposing the crown prince and did not allow the crown prince to interfere in court affairs. But recently, he actually allowed the crown prince to attend court and make speeches repeatedly!
The Crown Prince would occasionally make mistakes in state affairs, but whenever this happened, his father would not only not punish him or get angry, but would also comfort him gently. In comparison, he and the fourth prince were simply worthless.
He didn't know how the situation turned out like this. The prince did nothing, but he was diagnosed by his father!
Even the Xiao Qillang in front of him was the same. They were both princes and grandsons of the emperor, but he was so respectful to the prince!
Xiao Cunyu didn't understand how sad Prince Rui was feeling. She just pretended to take a sip and then silently put down the glass.
"Xiao Qilang, are you interested in joining the court? Your status is far greater now than it was before. Although I don't have the same power as the Crown Prince, I can still recommend someone." Prince Rui continued, "Speaking of which, I'm a little puzzled. Why do you keep solving cases one after another, but the Crown Prince seems to be oblivious? And now you're still a commoner, which is really unacceptable."
"I only like to dig up corpses and look at human bones. Your Highness the Crown Prince knows this. If I become an official, I will bring disaster to the common people. Just like the lord of the Wu family, he seems very capable, but he can't do his job. He dares to be greedy for money even though he is a parent official. I have a bad character and don't want to bring trouble to my brothers. It is better to make friends with the dead than to torment the living."
