Chen Siyuan was shocked.
Princess Qiya was actually a fake?
How could she dare to appear in the palace, in front of everyone?
Now Chen Siyuan finally understands why Princess Qiya gave her a strange feeling today, and she also understands why Qiao Yuchen didn't let her get close.
Everything made sense, but she still couldn't stay calm.
She didn't even know when Qiao Yuchen pulled her to sit down. Her mind was blank for a long time, seemingly shocked by Princess Qi Ya's bold behavior.
If the original Princess Qiya was so hard to accept—that she, not a real princess, dared to flaunt herself so recklessly in the palace and the capital—she was a ruthless person, but she wasn't very clever either.
The fact that this person dares to impersonate a princess and appear openly in the palace shows a level of audacity and boldness that few people possess.
Clearly, her actions have deceived many people. If she had done something during this time, wouldn't that have been even more terrifying?
No matter how powerful a person is, they won't inspire fear. But things are different now.
Qiao Yuchen gently patted the woman's hand a few times and softly comforted her, "I'm here, it's alright."
Chen Siyuan turned to the side and looked at the man beside her.
A simple sentence gave her a sense of security.
It seemed that with this person's presence, she didn't need to care about any of the dangers around her.
It was a strange feeling. She had been working hard to become stronger, but she was moved by a man's words.
Qiao Yuchen looked at the woman, his eyes seemingly overflowing with doting affection.
Mrs. Qiao, who was standing nearby, was alarmed and was about to warn someone when a sharp voice rang out, and Mrs. Qiao stood up.
Seeing that Chen Siyuan and Qiao Yuchen beside her had also stood up properly, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
You can't have that expression from before in the palace.
With the arrival of the old emperor, everyone became extremely vigilant, and Chen Siyuan also began to be cautious.
The entire palace is the most dangerous place, and also the place that everyone yearns for the most.
Since arriving here, she has been deliberately avoiding the people of the Third Prince and the Seventh Prince.
She knew that being targeted by anyone wouldn't be a good thing.
I am unwilling to be a victim of their power.
Many things in the process were under their calculations, and Chen Siyuan did not want to suffer the consequences.
Now, what she wants most is to use her memories from her previous life to build good relationships with powerful and influential people in the future.
This relationship needs to be handled with a certain degree of finesse.
Excessive things are not necessarily a good thing, and lacking a little is also a bad thing.
Chen Siyuan carefully sat down with Qiao Yuchen and the others.
Soon, the palace maids brought in delicious food one after another.
Chen Siyuan gradually relaxed her cautiousness.
As the delicious food was served, Chen Siyuan felt incredibly comfortable.
While eating and drinking, my stomach felt extremely satisfied.
Qiao Yuchen took great care of him from the side.
Seeing that the woman had finished eating, someone glanced at her, and soon more food was brought over.
Chen Siyuan then realized that she had eaten quite a lot, and since someone was the only one bringing them food, her vigilance instantly rose.
Looking at Qiao Yuchen beside her, Qiao Yuchen nodded at her, "Eat more if you like." As he spoke, he wiped the corner of the woman's mouth with a handkerchief.
Chen Siyuan lowered her head, looking slightly embarrassed.
I was so focused on eating that I completely forgot about table manners.
The men around me are always more considerate.
At that moment, Chen Siyuan was unaware that there was nothing on the corner of her mouth; it was someone deliberately showing off that made that gesture.
After Qiao Yuchen finished doing all this, he picked up his wine glass and glanced at Tao Yifan from a distance.
From the moment Tao Yifan arrived, his eyes kept glancing at Chen Siyuan, intentionally or unintentionally.
Being provoked like this makes you angry, but you can't vent it.
The Tao family has been in chaos these past few days, and things aren't going well for the Third Prince either. Under these circumstances, he inadvertently learned that during the days when the Tao family in Nancheng was in trouble, people from the capital had been to Nancheng.
Because of this, the first person he thought of was Qiao Yuchen.
As expected of the leader of the Demonic Sect, he can still act so blatantly.
With so many members of the Demonic Sect around us, why send someone close to us to the South City? That's incredibly arrogant.
Without direct evidence, he knew it must be related to Qiao Yuchen.
After thinking it over, given their current relationship, Chen Siyuan is a key factor, and there is another reason: he is doing things for the Third Prince.
Looking at the smug Qiao Yuchen on the other side, the current situation is more advantageous to the Third Prince.
In any case, the more the Third Prince experiences, the more it proves his ability. On the other hand, the Seventh Prince—it's not that I look down on him, but he's very methodical and intelligent. It's just a pity that he's not very lucky.
He picked up his glass, glanced at Qiao Yuchen, raised it, and drank it.
Chen Siyuan is by his side now, but his own existence and his past relationship with Chen Siyuan are always a thorn in his side.
While it hurts himself, it also deeply hurts Qiao Yuchen's heart.
Chen Siyuan seemed unaware of the undercurrents of competition among the men around her. She ate a lot and suddenly felt the urge to urinate, only then realizing that her plan had failed.
I originally thought that by not listening to the food, I could avoid some problems, but now I'm facing my own problems.
As she was about to get up from the activity, Qiao Yuchen looked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Siyuan didn't know how to start the conversation, but when she saw someone getting up to leave, she immediately found an excuse.
"I've eaten a bit too much, I'll take a walk."
Qiao Yuchen glanced at the several empty plates; he had indeed eaten quite a lot. He then stood up and said, "I'll keep you company."
Just then, someone came over to offer a toast, and Chen Siyuan smiled and said, "It's okay, I can manage on my own."
"Young General—" The person who came was Jiang Jinglin, the heir of the Marquis of De'an.
He received a signal from the Seventh Prince to come over and remind someone not to focus all their attention on women, and not to forget their important mission to enter the palace today.
Qiao Yuchen saw that the person in question knew what was going on and was about to chase her away when he saw that Chen Siyuan had already left. He could only glance at a palace maid not far away and watch her leave before looking at Jiang Jinglin in front of him.
"Young Master Jiang has quite the refined taste!" Qiao Yuchen said, a smile playing on one side of his lips.
Jiang Jinglin knew something was wrong when he heard those words, and seeing Qiao Yuchen's expression, he immediately became alert and quickly put on a smile, "Young General, you flatter me."
"Is that so?" If you dare to come over, you'll have to bear his wrath.
Everyone knows that Chen Siyuan is his weakness; anyone who gets close will either die or be seriously injured. It's absurd for him to give this person any face.
"Young General, shall I offer you a toast?" Jiang Jinglin asked with a fawning smile.
His fawning manner surprised those around him.
When did this Prince Jiang start fawning over someone like this?
Is it a case of one thing subduing another?
