On Helian Yun's birthday, he held a banquet in his mansion.
But he was a prince after all, so many people went there, most of whom were court officials and rich young masters.
Although the emperor and empress did not arrive, Crown Prince Helian Wushuang did, and even brought a considerable gift.
However, he had his own things to do, so he left after not staying for long.
As soon as he left, Duan Sijin, Duan Qingxi and Duan Shishi arrived.
Duan Qingxi is the future Fifth Princess, so naturally she has to come.
But in order to avoid gossip, Duan Sijin accompanied her.
Duan Hong saw that both of them had left, so he thought it would not be good to leave Duan Shishi alone at home. Besides, she had also asked to come, so he asked Duan Sijin to bring her along.
Although Duan Sijin was unwilling, he couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse.
After getting off the carriage, Duan Qingxi happened to see Helian Wushuang's back as he got on the carriage. He felt that he looked very familiar, so he took a few more glances.
Seeing this, Duan Sijin thought she had run into someone she knew and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Duan Qingxi came back to his senses, smiled, and said, "Nothing, maybe I saw it wrong."
Of course, it's also possible that I'm not mistaken.
The beauty I saw at the hunting meeting and the palace that day looked either rich or noble, so it was not surprising that she came to Helian Yun's birthday party. I just don't understand why she suddenly left.
Duan Shishi watched from the side, with sarcasm in her eyes.
Maybe Duan Qingxi is just a fickle woman who fell in love with another man because she saw him.
But she would not say such words. Duan Sijin didn't like her very much now, so she should say less to avoid being targeted again.
After the three of them entered the Fifth Prince's Mansion with the gifts, they were taken to the side rooms to rest.
At that time, many people were sitting and chatting in the back garden.
When Duan Qingxi saw Zuo Xinya, he became playful and walked over.
Duan Sijin thought she had met her friend, so he let her go.
Su Yuecheng happened to be there too, so the two of them sat together and chatted.
Su Yuecheng was wearing a white dress, while Duan Sijin was wearing a blue dress. Both of them were very handsome. Sitting together, they looked like a beautiful painting that was hard to look away from, attracting the attention of many wealthy girls.
Su Yuecheng looked at Duan Qingxi's departing figure and asked with a smile, "That's the sister Xi'er you told me about, right?"
Duan Sijin said, "Haven't you seen it a long time ago?"
"Yes, I have seen her, but unfortunately she was given in marriage to the Fifth Prince."
When saying this, Su Yuecheng felt quite regretful.
Duan Sijin said, "What are you talking about? I told you before we left that you must finalize the marriage with my sister. Why are you so useless?!"
Su Yuecheng felt wronged. "I came here to ask the Emperor for a marriage, but the Empress mentioned the Third Prince's marriage to Miss Zuo as soon as she opened her mouth. I couldn't interrupt her. I didn't expect that the Emperor would come later and also mentioned the Fifth Prince's marriage to your sister. What can I do?"
Duan Sijin rolled his eyes. "You could have stood up at that time and told the emperor that you and my sister were in love!"
After a pause, he continued, "I have occasionally mentioned you in front of my sister before. If you had said it then, she is so smart that she would definitely understand what you meant."
Having said that, Su Yuecheng glanced around and found that no one was eavesdropping nearby. Then he whispered to Duan Sijin, "By the way, there's something I've always wanted to tell you."
"What is it?"
"I always feel that your sister also agreed to marry the Fifth Prince, and she seems to have some purpose."
Duan Sijin frowned. He hated to hear people say bad things about Duan Qingxi. He angrily said, "Nonsense! My sister is innocent, cute, and naive. How could she marry the Fifth Prince on purpose?!"
