Half a month later.
The Queen held a Lingxi Banquet and invited noble men and women from the capital to attend.
When the news came out, the whole capital was in an uproar.
After all, it is not common for the queen to hold palace banquets for external parties.
The queen did not tell anyone that she was looking for a husband for the princess. Only those families with inside information got some vague rumors.
However, when Ye Yaqin heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would also attend the Lingxi Banquet, she became excited and made careful preparations.
She tried on gorgeous clothes one after another in front of the mirror, and selected the most dazzling jewelry, striving for perfection in every detail.
This was the first banquet that the prince attended. When the young ladies at the Lingxi Banquet heard the news, they felt like they were facing a formidable enemy and they all dressed up with all their might.
Ye Yaqin naturally had to make an impression in front of the prince.
Su Jingyao came with her brother today.
Su Jingyao originally thought that her brother would not come back so early. What a coincidence. Could it be that her brother and Qi Wanyin have some kind of fate?
Su Jingyao didn't want her brother to be involved with Qi Wanyin in this life.
Although Qi Wanyin hasn't done anything excessive yet, her personality is somewhat extreme due to her childhood experiences.
Su Jingyao didn't sympathize with her, but she didn't look at her with malice either.
Everyone has their own pain in life. If Qi Wanyin can't get out of it, perhaps her life will be no different from her previous life.
Qi Wanyin has stayed in the capital all her life. If her brother and Qi Wanyin were entangled with each other, she didn't know whether her brother could help Qi Wanyin regain her life or Qi Wanyin would drag her brother into the abyss.
That's why Su Jingyao didn't want her brother to see Qi Wanyin again.
But unexpectedly, my brother came back from studying abroad two days ago.
After Qi Wanyin died in his previous life, his brother met her sister-in-law from his previous life during the Flower Festival a year later, and the two got together.
In this life, her sister-in-law was younger than her, only ten years old...
But so many things have happened in this life, and everyone's direction seems to have changed a lot.
Su Jingyao could only let things take their course.
"Yaoyao, you are wearing a light purple brocade waist skirt today, you are so smart and beautiful!"
As soon as Chu Yinxue saw Su Jingyao coming to the banquet, she couldn't wait to walk over, her eyes shining, and praised her directly.
Su Jingyao knew that she was praising her because she wanted her to praise her back, so she was not stingy and pondered for a moment.
Smiling, he praised, "Yinxue is also very beautiful today. Her delicate face is just like the fresh crabapple blossoms. She is as gorgeous as a flower fairy."
When Su Jingyao praised her, the tone of her words was inflected, sounding very naughty.
Chu Yinxue raised her eyebrows and smiled with satisfaction, she was truly bright and charming.
She liked Yaoyao praising her. Every time she praised her, it was different and especially beautiful, making her feel as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
Then, Chu Yinxue's gaze fell on Su Jingxuan behind Su Jingyao.
Su Jingxuan was dressed in a blue brocade robe, with a handsome face and a gentle smile on his face, giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.
A trace of barely perceptible shyness flashed across Chu Yinxue's face. After briefly staying on him, she quickly lowered her eyes.
Seeing this, Su Jingyao smiled and introduced her: "This is my brother, Su Jingxuan."
Chu Yinxue suppressed the inexplicable nervousness in her heart and said softly, "Mr. Su."
"Ms. Chu." Su Jingxuan nodded politely.
Su Jingyao felt a little strange when she saw Chu Yinxue, who seemed to be more carefree than usual.
He then observed her expression carefully without making any expression.
Her eyes were evasive and her cheeks were slightly red.
Could it be that Chu Yinxue has fallen for her brother?
Never mind, she didn't like being a matchmaker, so she should just not get involved in other people's love affairs, just let nature take its course, let nature take its course...
Soon, the banquet officially began as the queen brought the princess and Qi Wanyin.
The Queen glanced at everyone and made it clear at the banquet that she hoped Princess Minghui could choose a husband from among the many outstanding young men today.
Although many powerful families in the capital do not like to be the princess's consort, some men also hope to marry the princess and make their family prosperous.
Princess Minghui sat in her seat, glancing boredly at the men who came today, her eyes full of boredom, and fiddling with the wine glass in her hand with a lack of interest.
Not long after, the queen announced that Qi Wanyin was included in the Qi family tree and officially became a daughter of the Qi family.
Upon hearing this, Su Jingxuan turned his gaze to Qi Wanyin, his eyes filled with complex emotions, including relief and emotion. At least she had a place to stay in the capital.
Su Jingxuan hopes she can get what she wants.
Because he had stayed in the palace for a few months, he knew Qi Wanyin and had some understanding of her.
Qi Wanyin is very cautious, and every move and every word she makes is filled with care.
She lived a miserable life, as if fate had strangled her by the throat and she couldn't break free.
But she has more self-esteem than others, and is both inferior and sensitive.
Su Jingxuan is not a person who judges his achievements by his status. Despite being suppressed by the princesses and princes in the palace, Qi Wanyin still studies hard and tries to please the queen. He admires her tenacity.
Su Jingxuan was still young when he left the palace, and he didn't feel that he liked Qi Wanyin at all, but he did feel pity and sympathy in his heart.
Maybe because of Qi Wanyin's kindness towards him, Su Jingxuan wanted to return it, or maybe deep down in his heart, Su Jingxuan longed to be a savior and pull this woman trapped in darkness into the light?
Later, when he found out that she liked the prince, Su Jingxuan suddenly realized that only the prince could pull her into the light.
Halfway through the banquet, Chu Yinxue turned around but couldn't find Su Jingyao!
Yaoyao had always been inseparable from her at every banquet, but she was gone today!
Chu Yinxue left the banquet and prepared to go outside to look for her. She didn't know where she went, but she found Qi Wanyin and Master Su walking side by side.
I heard from Yaoyao that the Queen is also planning to help Qi Wanyin choose a husband at this banquet. Could it be that Qi Wanyin has fallen in love with Master Su?
Chu Yinxue felt a little hurt and at a loss.
For some reason, she wanted to find out what was going on and what the relationship between the two was. Chu Yinxue bit her lip and followed.
