Hua Yujie's smile was so warm and inviting that the young men around her couldn't bear to blink.
She reached out and took Qian Youxue's hand in hers, saying, "I've been sickly since I was little, I'm already grateful that you don't mind. Let's go, the food will get cold soon."
Qian Youxue was in a great mood when Hua Yujie pulled her into the restaurant. Watching the departing figures of the group, Qian Yingxue felt a pang of embarrassment.
She had originally planned to humiliate Qian Youxue in public first, and then beat her up on the way back, but unexpectedly, she suffered a great loss in the very first step. What she didn't expect was that her beloved Crown Prince had witnessed this whole scene.
A useless piece of trash who's good for nothing and good for making things worse!
This was the Crown Prince's assessment of Qian Yingxue. In one of the private rooms upstairs, he swirled his wine glass, watching the scene unfold with dissatisfaction.
"Your Highness, although the Fourth Miss of the Qian family is not very bright, everyone knows how much she loves you. Someone who is so devoted to you must also care about you, right?" A voice that was neither male nor female rang in the Crown Prince's ears.
The crown prince had a sudden inspiration and turned to look at the eunuch Xiao Xuanzi who was serving him. Compared to Zhou Feng, who was skilled in martial arts, people who had worked in the palace were much smarter.
Xiao Xuanzi did not disappoint the Crown Prince. She leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words before leaving the private room.
Not long after, the person returned, and Qian Yingxue brought them back with her.
Originally extremely disappointed, Qian Yingxue was about to leave dejectedly when she unexpectedly saw Eunuch Xiao Xuanzi by the Crown Prince's side. To her even greater surprise, the Crown Prince actually summoned her.
Bang bang bang!
As she reached the door, the thought of seeing her beloved made her heart pound. She held her breath and nervously clenched her fists.
"His Highness the Crown Prince isn't a tiger, Fourth Miss, please don't be too nervous." Seeing Qian Yingxue's blushing and shy appearance, Xiao Xuanzi knew that her plan would definitely succeed.
"Hehe, is that so?" Qian Yingxue smiled awkwardly, then took out a silver note from her body and stuffed it into her father-in-law's hand. This was the silver she had saved for a long time, and she was willing to risk it all in order to get someone to say a few good words for her.
Xiao Xuanzi accepted all offers, thinking it was better to take whatever he could get. Even if things were exposed, a mere concubine's daughter couldn't cause much trouble. He casually stuffed the silver notes into his pocket, turned around, and pushed open the door to the private room.
Inside the room, the Crown Prince appeared refined and scholarly, with wine and dishes laid out on the table, but he held a book in his hand, making it seem like he wasn't quite right in the act.
But beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and in Qian Yingxue's eyes, even this Crown Prince captivated her. With a rare display of gentleness, she stepped forward and bowed slightly, saying, "This humble woman, Qian Yingxue, greets Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"Miss Yingxue, please excuse the formalities and sit down to talk," the Crown Prince smiled slightly, put down the book in his hand, and began to sized up the fourth young lady of the Qian family.
Qian Yingxue and Qian Muxue share the same mother, yet their appearances and temperaments are vastly different. After seeing Qian Muxue, it's hard for him to find this face appealing anymore.
"Your Highness, if you look at Yingxue like that, Yingxue will feel embarrassed." Qian Yingxue blushed to her neck and lowered her head shyly.
The Crown Prince gave Xiao Xuanzi and Zhou Feng a wink, and the two understood and left. Only the two of them remained in the room. He got up and walked to Qian Yingxue's side.
Sensing the Crown Prince's approach, Qian Yingxue dared not breathe deeply. Her palms were sweating profusely. She bit her lip and struggled internally for a while before finally mustering the courage to raise her head.
