Ye Yaqin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the two most dazzling people at the banquet, Su Jingyao and Chu Yinxue, had already left the party.
She didn't want the Crown Prince's attention to be attracted by the two of them. Ye Yaqin knew in her heart that her appearance was indeed not as good as theirs.
After confirming with her maid again and again that her makeup was correct, Ye Yaqin took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to stand up, and walked towards the direction of the prince.
But just as he was about to reach the prince, a palace servant came to the prince, seemed to say something to him, and then stood up and left.
As a lady from an aristocratic family, Ye Yaqin naturally could not ignore etiquette and rush after him. She could only purse her lips and watch the prince leave.
Qi Wanyin, who had been sitting alone at the banquet, as if forgotten by everyone and no one cared about her, had been silently observing her cousin the Crown Prince.
She is still very confused.
Even if her cousin didn't like her, he wouldn't ask her aunt to choose a husband for her personally. Her cousin didn't care about these things at all. There must be some reason why he suddenly did this that she didn't know.
Seeing her cousin leaving, Qi Wanyin followed him quietly, and even deliberately kept a distance in order to avoid being discovered by her cousin.
Following him all the way, I saw my cousin walk into the Tingyu Tower in the Imperial Garden. I became more and more confused. What was my cousin doing in the Tingyu Tower? Even the fact that my cousin came to attend the banquet this time was very shocking.

On the other side, Su Jingyao and Chu Yinxue had just walked out, when suddenly, a palace maid with a hurried look bumped into Su Jingyao head-on.
The maid immediately knelt down and admitted her fault: "Miss, please forgive me, Miss, please forgive me!"
Just as the palace maid lowered her head, she quickly stuffed a note into Su Jingyao's palm.
Su Jingyao waved her hand calmly and said, "Forget it, you can leave now."
Chu Yinxue, who was standing by, didn't notice anything unusual at all, and was still muttering in dissatisfaction: "Are the palace maids also so careless? Humph, I hope Yaoyao wasn't hit."
"fine."
Su Jingyao replied absentmindedly, her eyes wandering.
She quietly put her little hand into her sleeve, spread out the note, glanced down quickly, and saw that it said: See you at Tingyu Tower.
Su Jingyao immediately understood that this must have been written by Jun Zechen for her.
She could recognize the familiar handwriting even if she was not as familiar with it as in her previous life. Because she had received many letters from the Prince's Mansion these days, she could naturally recognize it.
Afterwards, Su Jingyao turned to look at Chu Yinxue, who was admiring the scenery of the palace with great interest. There was confusion in her eyes, and for a moment she didn't know how to get her away.
Why.
"Yinxue, let's go back to the banquet. I'm tired."
Chu Yinxue was puzzled and asked in surprise: "Ah? Tired? Okay, let's go back then."
The two were just wandering around the banquet area to get some fresh air. The banquet was not far away, so they went back quickly.
Su Jingyao sneaked away while Chu Yinxue wasn't paying attention.
So, is it embarrassing for Jun Zechen or for myself if I don't make it public? Why do I feel like a thief with a guilty conscience...
Qi Wanyin, who had been waiting outside Tingyu Tower, was full of doubts. It seemed that no one entered Tingyu Tower again, or was there someone in Tingyu Tower before her cousin entered? Could it be that her cousin was having a tryst with another woman?
But my cousin is the prince, why should he be so secretive about the woman he likes?
Or did my cousin just go to Tingyu Tower to rest?
Just when she was full of confusion and was about to turn around and leave, a purple figure suddenly came into her sight!
Qi Wanyin's eyes widened instantly, her eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.
Is it Miss Su? !
Her heart suddenly tightened and countless thoughts flashed through her mind.
Is this a coincidence or did my cousin make an appointment with Miss Su?
Qi Wanyin suddenly remembered the day when her cousin returned to Beijing. He seemed to have listened to someone's report, and then turned his horse around and headed for Moyu Tower without hesitation.
At that time, the cousin punished Master Yan, and everyone thought it was because Master Yan was disrespectful to the princess.
But my cousin has never had any deep feelings for the princess, and it is impossible for him to go there just for the princess.
Could it be that my cousin has always cared about Miss Su?
Once this idea came into her mind, it grew wildly like weeds.
Qi Wanyin stared at Tingyu Tower intently. When her cousin's people inside saw Miss Su, they did not hinder her at all and respectfully let Miss Su go upstairs.
Qi Wanyin gritted her teeth and pulled the handkerchief tightly with her hands. Her knuckles turned white from pulling too hard.
So my cousin wanted her to get married because he had long been in love with Miss Su?
Miss Su comes from an aristocratic family and has a noble status. She is indeed worthy of her cousin's position as Crown Princess.
But she had never dreamed of becoming the Crown Princess. Even if she was just a humble concubine, she would be willing.
She just wanted to have her own place to stay in the capital.
Even if the Qi family recognized her as their daughter today, she would not be able to integrate into the Qi family.
It would be better to live in the palace than to return to the Qi family. At least she has become accustomed to the life in the palace. Her aunt is also moved by her well-behaved and sensible nature. If she has any grievances, she is willing to help and take care of her.
Why didn’t my cousin even want to take her as a concubine?
My cousin is the crown prince, won't he have many women in the future? Is it so difficult to have one more?
Thinking of this, Qi Wanyin felt full of grievance.
