While Lin Qingrou was suffering daily, everyone else's life went on as normal.

The marriage between Xiao Jingheng and Xu Mengfei was soon settled. Xiao Jingheng was named King of Jin and chose an date to marry Princess Xu Mengfei of Dongyuan Kingdom.

Because Xu Zhenjie had to stay to attend his sister's wedding before leaving and time was tight, the two's wedding was scheduled for a month later.

As the two countries are getting married, the wedding was naturally held with great ceremony, and all the important figures in the capital were present today.

The Kingdom of Dongyuan had already prepared a generous dowry for Xu Mengfei, which was brought over from afar. All of them were rare treasures from the Kingdom of Dongyuan.

Lin Qingyao was talking to Xiao Qingning and Li Yaxuan, but when she looked up, she saw Ye Hengjing nodding to her.

Lin Qingyao was actually a little confused. They had only met once, but Ye Hengjing actually took the initiative to greet her.

Although it was a bit unexpected, Ye Hengjing's identity was there, and he took the initiative to say hello, so Lin Qingyao couldn't pretend not to see it.

Lin Qingyao smiled back and nodded at him.

Xiao Qingning and Li Yaxuan followed Lin Qingyao's gaze and discovered Ye Hengjing sitting not far away.

Xiao Qingning asked curiously, "Isn't that the second prince of Weiyuan Kingdom? It's been a month, why hasn't he left? Fifth sister-in-law, are you familiar with him? Why did you go out of your way to say hello to him?"

Lin Qingyao shook her head helplessly after hearing this. "I only met him once in the palace that day. We talked a few words, but we are far from being familiar with each other. We can only be said to know each other. He nodded first just now, and I can't just not respond, right? In fact, I also find it a little strange that he would take the initiative to say hello to me."

Li Yaxuan at the side smiled when she heard this, "My cousin is beautiful, kind-hearted and well-known, so it's only natural that she has a crush on you. Judging from his attitude towards you, I think he is probably overwhelmed by your charm."

Lin Qingyao glanced at Li Yaxuan and said, "Don't talk nonsense, girl. He and I know each other. He is polite to take the initiative to say hello. Don't misinterpret his meaning."

Xiao Qingning took Li Yaxuan's words seriously and immediately became anxious.

"It's absurd that he actually dares to think about my fifth sister-in-law. No, I have to go and warn him not to have any thoughts that he shouldn't have."

Li Yaxuan originally just wanted to tease Lin Qingyao, but she didn't expect Xiao Qingning to take it seriously.

Seeing that Xiao Qingning was about to go to Ye Hengjing to question him, Li Yaxuan hurried forward to stop him.

"Sister Ning'er, I was just joking, why did you take it so seriously? Besides, no matter what the Second Prince thinks, my cousin is already the Princess of Chen, so how dare he do anything?"

Xiao Qingning disagreed and said, "No, this worry is necessary. Isn't there a saying that goes, you don't have to worry about thieves stealing, but you have to worry about thieves thinking about it. Who knows if he will really do something."

Lin Qingyao heard this and advised helplessly: "Ning'er, stop making trouble. Today is Sixth Brother's big day. Don't mess around here and make others laugh at you."

Xiao Qingning had made up her mind and couldn't help but speak out, "Don't worry, Fifth Sister-in-law. There's no one else over there. I'll go warn him and come back soon. No one will notice."

After Xiao Qingning finished speaking, he walked straight over despite the two people's attempts to stop him. Lin Qingyao and Li Yaxuan looked at each other, feeling a little worried, and hurriedly followed.

Since I can't stop Xiao Qingning, I'll just follow her and see. At least I can help her "clean up the mess".

Seeing Xiao Qingning coming in front of him, Ye Hengjing was a little surprised, but still stood up and greeted him.

"Fifth Princess, you came here specially to see me, do you have something to say?"

Xiao Qingning nodded upon hearing this, "Since the Second Prince asked this, I will get straight to the point."

Ye Hengjing smiled when he heard this, without any intention of objecting.

"Okay, Princess, please go ahead."

Xiao Qingning was already a little angry, and when she saw Ye Hengjing was still smiling, her attitude towards him became even worse.

"Although I don't know what you are thinking, I must remind you that Lin Qingyao is my fifth sister-in-law, and they are very loving. Don't have any ideas about her, otherwise I will not let you go."

Who would have thought that after hearing what Xiao Qingning said, Ye Hengjing laughed even more happily than before, which made Xiao Qingning very angry.

"I'm talking to you about serious matters, why are you laughing?"

Seeing Xiao Qingning's serious face, Ye Hengjing realized that she took the matter very seriously and quickly put away his smile.

"Princess, please don't be anxious. I just smiled because your worry is unnecessary. I admit that I admire Princess Chen very much. If she hadn't married yet, I would really be interested in her. But since she is already someone else's wife, why should I worry about her? I just feel a little regretful that I didn't get to know Princess Chen earlier. If I had known Princess Chen before Prince Chen, this might have been a different story."

Xiao Qingning was very disdainful when she heard this, "Second Prince, just forget it. My fifth brother and his wife are a perfect match made in heaven. Even if you met his wife first, she wouldn't like you."

After hearing this, Ye Hengjing didn't care much and just smiled slightly.

"I didn't expect that the princess would still have the time to care about other people's affairs at this time. I would like to advise the princess that if she has this time, she should worry about herself."

Xiao Qingning was somewhat confused by Ye Hengjing's words and had no idea what he was talking about.

"What do you mean by that, Your Highness? What could possibly happen to me? Your Highness, if you have something to say, just speak directly. I am impatient and cannot bear to hear you beat around the bush like that."

Just in this short while, Ye Hengjing had already discovered this.

Xiao Qingning's temper was not only impatient but also very direct. When he said those words to him just now, he did not consider his identity at all and directly told him his thoughts.

Ye Hengjing actually felt that this kind of temperament was very good, as he didn't have to guess all the time, which was tiring, but this was obviously not in line with his habits.

Ye Hengjing has been living in the Da Qi Palace these days. He often sees the Da Qi royal family getting along with each other. He is actually a little envious.

Especially someone like Xiao Qingning, who can express what he thinks freely, is exactly what he cannot do.

The Crown Prince of Weiyuan State is Ye Hengjing's elder brother. They are born to the same mother and are both born to the Empress Dowager.

The two brothers received the best education since childhood and were trained by their father.

Both of them are excellent, but compared with Ye Hengjing, the prince's talent is slightly lacking.

Fortunately, the prince worked hard enough, and the two brothers have been making progress together.

As the two brothers grew up day by day, the Emperor of Weiyuan State became more and more satisfied with Ye Hengjing and had always wanted him to be the crown prince.

However, Ye Hengjing was not interested in this and did not like being restrained, so he rejected the proposal.
