"Give up, His Highness has no feelings for you."

Seeing that Aitch, who had just encouraged him to come over, suddenly asked him to give up, Dak couldn't help but glance at him coldly.

Seeing him like this, Aitch shrugged. Just now was just a moment. After all, he was also curious whether Dak was really interested in the princess.

But now Her Royal Highness the Princess obviously won't give them this opportunity, so how can they disobey Her Royal Highness the Princess?

Besides, does Dak really like Tai Nu?

If he liked her, why didn't he do anything when Her Royal Highness the Princess and Xuan Mo wanted to be together?

This is not the attitude of a male pursuing a female of his choice.

Dak looked at the two people in the center of the dance floor with heavy eyes. The combination of handsome man and beautiful woman, plus the halo brought to them by their identities, undoubtedly made them the focus of the entire banquet as soon as they entered the dance floor.

Dak felt indescribably aggrieved, but he also felt that it was natural.

It's just like it's normal that Her Royal Highness doesn't like him.

This thought flashed through his mind, and Dak's face suddenly looked a little grim.

Ai Qi thought he was angry about the princess and Bai Junxi going to the dance floor together. He sighed and patted his shoulder, "Honestly, brother, who are you showing this face to? If you really like the princess, you shouldn't have been soft-hearted when Xuan Mo pursued her."

When Xuan Mo was pursuing Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, She Royal Highness the Crown Princess seldom stayed in the imperial capital, and they only knew whether She Royal Highness the Crown Princess had returned by learning about her whereabouts through people like them.

If Dak had come to his senses at that time and intervened to cause trouble, there would be no chance for Xuan Mo to deal with it now.

Dak had a cold face and said nothing.

At that time, he only had the admiration for the prince as the weak admires the strong. As for why he later felt that he fell in love with the princess, he himself couldn't really explain the reason.

But when he saw Xuan Mo restraining the people around him and no longer opposing them openly or secretly for the sake of Her Royal Highness, or when he heard the news that someone was pursuing Her Royal Highness again and again, Dak somehow had other thoughts in his mind.

It was not until Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess came back and was with Xuan Mo that he realized, belatedly, from the reminders of the people around him, that he might have fallen in love with Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, otherwise why would he be so angry after seeing her with Xuan Mo.

……

On the dance floor, Wen Chang and Bai Junxi danced the common duet dance among the nobles in tacit understanding. After all, they had learned it in elementary school, so even though it was the first time they became each other's dance partners, they did not make any mistakes and instead finished the opening dance perfectly.

Then they stayed on the dance floor with everyone else, slowly enjoying the atmosphere there.

Wen Chang wanted to avoid some quiet time, and she knew all of Dak's little thoughts.

However, the two of them are not only friends, but also an important superior-subordinate relationship. If something awkward happens in such an occasion, it will not be good for both of them and will easily disrupt the banquet.

As for Bai Junxi, he was dancing with a sword, aiming at the princess. Due to his work, he couldn't often come into contact with Wen Shang, so he had to create opportunities for himself.

He was the secretary general of the Executive Office, and Wen Shang, as the princess, would sooner or later send someone to the Executive Office. Since he had revealed that he was willing to cooperate with her, even if Wen Shang doubted his intentions, she would not refuse this benefit that was delivered to her door.

After all, the timid will be starved to death and the bold will be starved to death.

How could Her Highness, who was able to manage the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the age of 19 and had the final say in it, be the kind of orc who was hesitant and cautious?

And sure enough, after Bai Junxi showed a hint of his willingness to cooperate with Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess on the dance floor, she accepted it with a smile without hesitation.

But people are somewhat smart after all, so Wen Shang still felt suspicious of Bai Junxi's little action.

The female smiled and began to test, "Why did Master Bai suddenly bring up this matter? Could it be that I have something that Master Bai wants?"

Cooperating with the Bai family does bring her many benefits, but she is also worried that Bai Junxi will use her to infiltrate the Bai family's power even deeper. Once she gets to the top, the Bai family will certainly have a lot of control over her.

The cabinet has already taken away part of the political power, and the existence of the military makes it impossible for the army to be completely controlled by the royal family. If the national finances have not been controlled by the royal family, I am afraid that their royal family would be an empty shell with no substance.

Bai Junxi smiled softly. He had other intentions. He just wanted to know the situation in the Executive Office and the compromise and concession made by the Bai family to the forces behind Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess. If he could take this opportunity to make the two of them get acquainted, then the loss would be worth it.

"Naturally, they saw the potential of Her Royal Highness, or rather, the Bai family saw what His Majesty saw."

Hearing this, Wen Chang's expression changed slightly. This reason sounded reasonable, but she didn't say anything.

Bai Junxi said gently, "Your Highness, what are you worried about?"

Wen Shang glanced at him, and after turning around with his footsteps, the two of them were face to face again.

She said, "Master Bai, I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that Master Bai has bad intentions."

The Bai family actually wants to show goodwill to her. Does her current performance qualify her for the Bai family to invest in her?

No matter how remarkable her diplomatic achievements were, they were not her credit alone. It was only because she had played a key role several times that everyone focused their attention on her.

But to be a princess, it is not enough to just know how to negotiate.

Military power, political achievements, and the support of the forces behind the scenes, none of these can be missing.

Now that she had counted them all, the only thing she could come up with was probably the people's support.

Her reputation among the people is much better than Tang Mo's, which is all due to the royal family's operation behind the scenes and her step-by-step efforts in diplomacy.

Secondly, her ability to induce childbirth has been sought after by many nobles, and in recent years, many young orcs from the Bai family have joined the military. Could it be that Bai Junxi came to make friends with her for this reason?

Wen Chang, who had never expected that Bai Junxi had feelings for her, misinterpreted Bai Junxi's approach as "he had ulterior motives" because of his usual workaholic behavior.

Bai Junxi probably didn't know that her kindness was seriously misunderstood. His "ulterior motives" were completely different from what she thought.

When Bai Junxi heard Wen Chang suddenly say that he had bad intentions, his heart skipped a beat, thinking that Wen Chang had discovered his secret thoughts.

But soon, he saw the inquiry and doubt in Wen Chang's eyes and dispelled that wishful thinking.

After all, the little girl is still young and has not yet learned to discover other people's "bad intentions" from the slightest clues they reveal.

Thinking of this, Bai Junxi couldn't help but laugh, "Oh? Then what do you think I'm up to? Is it you, Your Highness, or the Emperor behind you?"

Wen Chang raised her eyebrows and said, "Can't it be both? Is Master Bai so timid?"

As soon as these words came out, Bai Junxi suddenly felt like he had found a "chess opponent".

He smiled and said, "Your Highness really loves to joke. If I say that I came here for you, would you believe me?"

At this time, the dance steps had brought the two of them very close. Bai Junxi lowered his head, and Wen Chang felt a sense of oppression coming from him.

In response, she looked into his eyes without any fear. For a moment, in the eyes of outsiders, the two of them actually looked somewhat affectionate and there was an atmosphere of deep affection between them.

Of course, this was mainly because Bai Junxi's eyes were too deep, as if he was deliberately suppressing some emotions. When Wen Chang looked over, she was unconsciously attracted to him.

She wanted to explore what was behind the emotions he suppressed.

However, to outsiders, it seemed that Wen Chang was attracted by Bai Junxi's attention and was stunned.
