Mind Reading: The villain wins after hearing the princess's inner voice

The book in Xiao Lichen's hand fell to the ground at some point.

His beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with unpredictable storms.

Tao Yuwei sensed the danger at the first moment. As soon as the carriage of Prince Yong's mansion stopped in front of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, she quickly lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage without waiting for the coachman to put down the footstool.

The housekeeper of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, along with some servants and maids, welcomed the distinguished guests into the mansion and took them to the pavilion by the artificial lake in the backyard.

Looking around, Tao Yuwei found that the artificial lake in Zuo Xiangfu was big and beautiful.

Viewing pavilions were built one after another around the lake.

On the stone table in the pavilion, various exquisite snacks and fruits are placed for everyone to rest and enjoy.

In addition to green willows planted around the turquoise lake, a floating bridge has also been built on the lakeside.

The lotus flowers in the center of the lake are as beautiful as lotus flowers emerging from the water. The flowers and green lotus leaves complement each other, and the air is filled with a long-lasting fragrance.

There are some small wooden boats floating in the lake.

Some active ladies have brought their friends and rowed boats to appreciate the lotus flowers at close range.

The lotus-viewing banquet at the Left Prime Minister's Mansion arranged men and women to sit in pavilions on both sides of the lake.

There is an ice basin in the corner of the pavilion so people won’t feel uncomfortable due to the heat.

After looking around and not seeing the third princess Xiao Daifu, Tao Yuwei chose a pavilion where there were not many people and sat down.

Some noble ladies would subconsciously look away after seeing her.

However, most of the noble ladies were older than her and basically reached the marriageable age.

Tao Yuwei is not interested in them.

Besides, she doesn't have the habit of trying to please others.

I stayed alone and ate pastries, feeling free and comfortable.

Eat first, there will be a good show to watch later, so she needs to save some energy.

Just as she was eating happily, a woman with a gentle appearance and wearing a light pink chest-length skirt came up to her.

"Jiang Siyan pays respects to Princess Anle and wishes her good health."

The other party bowed and saluted, which startled Tao Yuwei so much that she coughed several times and almost choked on the snack in her mouth.

Jiang Siyan?

Isn't this the heroine's name?

Tao Yuwei suddenly raised her head and sighed in her heart when she looked at the fair-skinned and beautiful woman in front of her.

This female protagonist was just the eldest daughter of an eighth-rank clerk in the Ministry of Rites.

In the capital, the position of an eighth-rank chief clerk is too low to be ranked.

The heroine was able to come to the capital because her father had put in a lot of effort and traveled around to get her from a remote area in the Great Zhou Dynasty to be an official in the capital.

[Ah, I went to a banquet and actually ran into the heroine. Is the place where the heroine appeared far away from the hero? ]

[This one has captured the cruel and murderous male protagonist perfectly, as if they have known each other since childhood and spent some time together as childhood sweethearts.]

"No need to be so polite, please stand up!"

As Tao Yuwei spoke, she looked around, searching for the male lead, Xiao Chengyan.

"Thank you, Princess Anle!"

Jiang Siyan stood up and sat beside her.

Not finding Xiao Chengyan, Tao Yuwei withdrew her gaze and saw that Jiang Siyan was actually pouring tea for her.

Tao Yuwei was overwhelmed by the other party's inexplicable friendly behavior.

They are not familiar with each other, so why does the heroine stick to her?

She remembered the famous scene where the hero and heroine met, which seemed like an old-fashioned mistake.

That’s right, it was a mistake.

The male protagonist Xiao Chengyan lived in the south with his mother when he was a child.

Xiao Chengyan's life experience was deliberately concealed by his biological mother, who kept him secretly hidden since he was born.

Just like that, the hero and the heroine were neighbors when they were young.

However, when Xiao Chengyan was about six years old, his biological father, Emperor Jianchang, learned of his existence and he was taken back to the palace.

after many years.

The two met again.

However, the male protagonist mistook the female protagonist's stepsister for her.

Thinking of this, Tao Yuwei's heart, which was eager to eat melons, shamefully moved.

"Where's your stepsister?"

The words come out without thinking.

Jiang Siyan didn't expect that the Princess Anle, who was deeply favored by His Majesty, actually knew her and knew something about her family situation.

"My lady, my sister is boating in the lake now."

Following the direction Jiang Siyan pointed, Tao Yuwei saw two young women chatting and laughing on one of the small wooden boats in the lake.

[Then wouldn't it be very lively in the Zuo Xiang Mansion today? Not only can we see several men playing poker together, but we can also witness an old-fashioned scene of mistaken identity. ]

She is so looking forward to it.

I don’t know where the third princess is?

Today's lotus viewing banquet is prepared for her.

All the words in her heart were heard by Xiao Lichen, who was more than a hundred meters away from her.

"Master, when do we start?"

Heiyan stood behind him. They, master and servant, deliberately chose an empty corridor to discuss matters.

Xiao Lichen looked in the direction of Tao Yuwei and said, "No hurry!"

The third princess, Xiao Daifu, whom Tao Yuwei was worried about, was currently in a cave in a rockery in the prime minister's residence.

Her back was pressed tightly against the mountain.

His mouth was blocked and he was entangled with a tall figure.

nearby.

Two men were approaching.

"You said the third princess is back, is that true? Why haven't I seen her?"

Guo Buyan, the empress dowager's grandson from her natal family, anxiously asked Wang Jue who was beside him.

Wang Jue looked around pretentiously and said, "For your good friend, I sent someone to keep an eye on her movements. I heard from the maid that she just came in this direction."

His eyes never left Guo Buyan.

Under normal circumstances, Wang Jue’s sticky gaze would make Guo Buyan aware of his disgusting intentions.

At this moment, his heart was completely occupied by the third princess Xiao Daifu.

That's right.

Guo Buyan has always had a crush on the third princess. He is fearless and loves to meddle in other people's affairs.

In front of the person I like, I am like a dud, unable to produce even the slightest spark.

Every time he finally managed to enter the palace and see the third princess, he would become hesitant, blush, and unable to speak for a long time.

Guo Buyan quickened his pace along the road ahead to catch up with the third princess.

There was no way Wang Jue was willing to miss this opportunity to be alone.

Following him, the two of them crossed the rockery and headed for the artificial lake behind.

Finally, no sound could be heard outside.

The third princess pushed the man who was hugging her waist tightly and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay, it's time to go."

Wu Hanmo's ears turned red and he let her go reluctantly.

It was a coincidence that they met.

After paying his respects to Emperor Jianchang and reporting back, Wu Hanmo was leaving the palace when he met the Third Princess who was attending a lotus viewing banquet at the Left Prime Minister's Mansion.

He escorted him all the way and entered the Left Prime Minister's Mansion one after another.

In order to allow the Third Princess to be alone with the Second Son of the Left Prime Minister, Wang Cheng, this time, Concubine De left everyone around the Third Princess in the palace in advance and only arranged for a little palace maid to serve her.

As soon as he entered the prime minister's residence, he was specifically ordered away by the wife of the left prime minister.

This created the conditions for the Third Princess and Wu Hanmo to be alone.
