When Su Jingyao first came to the party, she was always accompanied by her brother, Chu Yinxue.
Soon, Wang Xiuwen, Si Nanyu and Qi Yixu came over.
Su Jingxuan stared at these people with a bad expression, and there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
His sister is only thirteen, what are these men trying to do by coming up to her?
Has his sister been harassed by them like this during the years he was away?
Si Nanyu was quite thick-skinned and didn't care about Su Jingxuan's discontented look. He smiled and said sweetly, "Brother Su, how are you? I heard that you have returned from studying and are preparing to enter the government. I hope you can give me more guidance in the future."
After saying that, he bowed and the smile on his face became even brighter.
"You are too polite, my lord. You are of noble status, so I cannot possibly give you any advice."
Su Jingxuan clasped his fists slightly and replied politely, but his expression remained cold.
Seeing that Su Jingxuan was not very enthusiastic, Si Nanyu turned to face Su Jingyao.
He praised, "Miss Su, every time I meet you, you seem to bring surprises. Today, Miss Su is dressed in purple, and her skirt sways gently in the wind, like a dancing butterfly. She is so graceful and extraordinary, as if a fairy has descended to the earth."
"Your Excellency, I am truly unworthy of your praise."
Su Jingyao nodded slightly, with a polite and distant smile on her face.
Speaking of Su Jingyao's beauty, Qi Yixu instantly became interested and stared at Su Jingyao.
He blurted out, "Miss Su, there's no need to be so modest. You certainly deserve this compliment. Among the women in the capital, no one can compare with you in terms of beauty."
Every time Su Jingyao heard Qi Yixu say "ha", she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Is he sure that his way of praising people is not trying to make her hate him?
Chu Yinxue rolled her eyes slightly as she listened.
Can these men please stop praising beauty all the time? It's really meaningless.
Besides, Yaoyao doesn't like such superficial praise.
Furthermore, this Qi Yixu has really lost his emotional intelligence after being trained in the army. This beautiful lady is standing next to him, but doesn’t he know how to praise both of them together?
It's so annoying.
Wang Xiuwen looked at the Crown Prince and Master Qi vying to show off, but he just stood aside calmly with a faint smile on his lips.
He was already close to the water and had the upper hand, so there was no need for him to be so obnoxious in front of Brother Su.
Moreover, the two of them had no in-depth communication or discussion with Miss Su at all, and Miss Su was obviously not interested in them.
Su Jingyao sighed inwardly.
Suddenly, I felt a burning gaze falling on me.
Su Jingyao subconsciously turned her head and saw Jun Zechen sitting in a corner of the banquet, sipping tea from a teacup. Their eyes met.
Why are you staring at her so scary?
Su Jingyao glared back, then said, "Prince, Master Qi, today's banquet is hosted by the Empress for Princess Minghui. You might as well go and have a chat with Princess Minghui. It would be a token of appreciation for the Empress' kindness."
"Yinxue and I are going to go shopping somewhere else."
After saying that, Su Jingyao took Chu Yinxue's hand and walked out.
Si Nanyu originally opened his mouth, wanting to try to stop him, but Su Jingxuan's eyes were gentle yet firm. He slightly turned sideways, quietly blocking Si Nanyu's sight and stopping him.
"Brother Su, I really like Miss Su..."
Si Nanyu's expression was extremely sincere, with eagerness and anticipation in his eyes.
"My dear, my sister is still young. If you really like her, please wait until she reaches the age of marriage."
Su Jingxuan's tone was serious and earnest.
He cared most about his sister's affairs. Moreover, his mother had said that even if his sister reached the age of marriage, she still wanted to keep her at home for a year and not rush her to get married.
The person she marries must be carefully examined by him and his parents. Men like the Crown Prince and Qi Yixu who only care about appearance are really unreliable.
"Brother Su is right. Miss Su is still young, and Lord Su has always doted on Miss Su. I believe he always puts Miss Su's opinions first. What's most important is that Miss Su likes it."
Wang Xiuwen interrupted at this moment, with a humble smile on his face, but a hint of shrewdness in his eyes.
Su Jingxuan turned his head and glanced at Wang Xiuwen. His expression was not gentle, but rather scrutinizing.
Could it be that this father's disciple also likes my sister?
However, Su Jingxuan didn't notice that Wang Xiuming was blatantly courting his sister.
Then he nodded at Wang Xiuwen's words, "Indeed, I respect my sister's ideas."
After chatting for a few sentences, these young masters from noble families went to visit Princess Minghui in order to give face to the queen.
As for whether Princess Minghui would like them, they had no control over it.
Si Nanyu had a perfunctory look on his face, while Qi Yixu had a stern face, which was consistent with his personality. Wang Xiuwen looked calm and behaved properly, and it was impossible to tell what he was really thinking.
-
Ever since Jun Zechen entered the banquet, most of the young ladies at the banquet instantly became agitated. Even though they appeared calm on the surface, they would look in the direction of the prince from time to time.
Ye Yaqin couldn't help but feel a little nervous and turned to look at the maid beside her.
"How does my makeup look now? Is my jewelry crooked?"
"No, the young lady is perfect now and will definitely leave a deep impression in front of the prince." The maid replied hurriedly, her tone full of flattery.
When Ye Yaqin heard this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, and she was obviously very satisfied with this answer.
The prince was sitting in a corner of the banquet hall, sipping tea from a cup, and no one around him dared to approach him and talk to him.
