"That's true..."
Hearing this, Duan Qingxi also became curious about the mysterious Crown Prince.
But she felt that no matter how handsome the Crown Prince was, he could not be more handsome than the handsome man in white that she met at the hunting competition that night, right?
Alas, there were indeed handsome men everywhere in ancient times. If you pick up any one of them and bring him to modern times, he can easily beat those handsome young stars!
After looking at the handsome man, Duan Qingxi went to admire the beautiful woman.
There are fewer beautiful women than handsome men, and there are indeed not many who are pleasing to the eye.
Maybe it's because she has seen so many beauties, so her standards have improved a lot.
Duan Qingxi looked around with interest, with a smile on his face, but when he saw a familiar face, the smile froze.
Zuo Xinya? !
She's actually... here too!
No, this is Xiyuan Kingdom, it’s ancient times, not modern times!
This person should not be the same person as the Zuo Xinya she knew.
They probably just look alike.
But even so, Duan Qingxi felt uncomfortable when he saw her. Although he didn't dare to hate her because of the child's incident, he wouldn't like her either.
Zuo Xinya is not good at socializing, and she is in a bad mood because of Helian Yun's matter. She looks like she has a lot on her mind, so she doesn't interact with other rich girls.
After noticing Duan Qingxi's gaze, she subconsciously turned her head and met Duan Qingxi's eyes.
However, Duan Qingxi simply turned his gaze away indifferently, as if he was just glancing at her casually.
Zuo Xinya naturally didn't delve into it, but her hands on her legs were tightly twisted together.
She had originally been secretly promised to Helian Cheng and shouldn't have come here again, but the queen still ordered her to come.
I think it was probably because of the arranged marriage.
At that time, the marriage was only a verbal agreement between the emperor and Lord Zuo, and no formal decree was issued to grant the marriage. The emperor and empress probably wanted to take advantage of this Hundred Flowers Banquet to finalize the marriage.
He...will he come to stop it?
After the singing and dancing performance, the queen was about to speak when the princes arrived.
Of course, only the third prince Helian Cheng and the fifth prince Helian Yun came.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very busy and is currently handling government affairs, so naturally he does not need to attend such a Hundred Flowers Banquet.
As for the Ninth Prince... I guess no one can invite him to this Hundred Flowers Banquet.
But two princes were enough to keep the place in check. Moreover, no matter whether they were favored or not, they were princes after all. Their status was there, and there were still many girls who stared at them and fell in love with them.
Before Helian Cheng sat down, his eyes drifted to Duan Qingxi.
Ever since he saw Duan Qingxi at the Ninth Prince's Mansion, Helian Cheng has paid special attention to her.
After all, she was the first daughter of a wealthy family to enter the Ninth Prince's Palace.
After sitting down, the queen smiled and teased them.
Helian Cheng has a cheerful personality and never refuses any woman who comes to him. This Hundred Flowers Banquet is a good party for him.
But Helian Yun's expression was not very good, but in order to give the queen some face, he could only force a smile.
The queen seemed to notice his reluctance, but chose to ignore it.
Being born in the royal family, one cannot choose one's own destiny. Both she and the emperor had gone through the same thing. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could never marry whoever he wanted.
Since it is a Hundred Flowers Banquet, it is natural to put on a show and bring some flowers for everyone to see, and there will also be people to give special introductions.
Duan Qingxi had some knowledge of flowers and plants, so he was quite fascinated by the flowers and plants, and he also secretly wrote down their uses and general habits.
The queen sat on the main seat, observing everyone calmly.
Many people come to this Hundred Flowers Banquet just to find a perfect husband or a beautiful wife, so naturally they have no interest in these flowers and plants.
