She thought of the纨绔 (playboys) in Yinjing City, and only He Yunxiao stood out in terms of appearance...
However, based on these two points alone, Meng Qingqian could not determine He Yunxiao's true identity. But when she saw that He Yunxiao had the "Golden Feather Token" given to him by the Empress Dowager hanging on his waist, she no longer hesitated and was completely certain that this "Xiao Yun" was "He Yunxiao".
As the eldest princess, Meng Qingqian was naturally reasonable. Although she didn't know why He Yunxiao wanted to hide his identity from her, she wisely refrained from exposing him.
Instead, he followed He Yunxiao's words and said, "My surname is Li, my given name is Qingmeng, and I am from the Li family in Jiangnan."
Meng Qingqian was not lying. Her childhood name was indeed "Qingmeng," but "Meng" and "Meng" are homophones, so she changed it to "Qingqian."
The name "Qingmeng" is a secret, known to very few. The only living people who know it are herself and her mother.
Moreover, Meng Qingqian specifically mentioned "the Li family of Jiangnan" to continue fabricating her identity.
First, Jiangnan is far away, and it's difficult to verify the person's name. Second, the Li family belongs to the Empress Dowager's maternal family, her direct line of influence. At the same time, the family is powerful and has many offspring, so it would be far too easy to fabricate a "Li Qingmeng" out of thin air.
He Yunxiao didn't doubt that this girl came from the Li family in Jiangnan, but why is she pretending to be a man when she's the "female lead"?
He casually put his arm around Meng Qingqian's shoulder and said, "Hey bro, are you here to enroll at the academy too?"
Li Qingmeng's favorability rating has decreased from 30 to 25.
Meng Qingqian disliked such overly intimate gestures, even though He Yunxiao had saved her life.
She pulled away from He Yunxiao's shoulder and said, "Brother Xiao, please have some self-respect. I don't have any strange hobbies."
Seeing that contact would lower his favorability rating, He Yunxiao stopped trying to get close to Li Qingmeng. This is what you call a true man who can bend and stretch. Endure for a moment, increase favorability; take a step back, and I'll have it all!
Standing still, He Yunxiao spread his hands and said, "I don't have any strange hobbies, I just like women."
Regarding He Yunxiao's sexual orientation, the system can provide irrefutable evidence. This is because this affinity system only displays the affinity level for women and the heroine's romance guide information. For men, it doesn't even want to display a single space, let alone their names.
Meng Qingqian echoed, "Me too."
You're a ghost too! You're a woman!
He Yunxiao deliberately probed, "The 'Four Beauties of Yinjing' have been famous for a long time, each with their own merits. I wonder which one Brother Li prefers?"
Although Meng Qingqian resided in the palace, she had many informants in the streets to stay connected with the people. She was naturally aware of well-known facts such as He Yunxiao's arrogance and lechery, and the four beauties of Yinjing being exceptionally beautiful.
Although Meng Qingqian, being a woman, did not care about empty fame, she still loved beauty.
Seeing He Yunxiao praising other women in front of her, she retorted, "I do not admire the so-called 'Four Beauties of Yinjing,' I only admire Princess Xiaoyue."
Speaking of the eldest princess, He Yunxiao had a lot to say. He said, "I have never seen Xiaoyue, but she is definitely not as beautiful as Nanzhu."
Meng Qingqian secretly clenched her fist, but pretended to remain calm, frowning in confusion as she asked, "Why?"
He Yunxiao recalled the plot of the novel and began to analyze it in a very logical and detailed manner.
"Meng Qingqian is shrewd and calculating, often stays up late, and loves sweets. Her skin must be terrible. She might even have dark circles under her eyes and lose her hair. How can she compare to the carefree, innocent, and adorable Nanzhu? Not to mention that Nanzhu is the daughter of the 'most beautiful woman in the world'."
Li Qingmeng's favorability rating has decreased from 25 to 20.
Meng Qingqian was so angry that she was trembling all over.
She gritted her teeth and remained silent.
If she hadn't been so reckless before, and now afraid of revealing her identity and making a fool of herself, she would definitely show He Yunxiao what Princess Xiaoyue's beauty was all about!
What does "not as good as South Sea pearls" mean?
She's clearly much prettier than Nan Zhu, who's only sixteen or seventeen years old!
