The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.

On the eve of the flower banquet, the threshold of Anyuan Marquis's mansion was almost trampled flat by visitors.

People were saying that the seldom-seen Prince Qin would attend the flower banquet at the Marquis' Mansion.

The news spread quickly throughout the capital like wildfire.

Although Gu Mingzhao's name is well-known, many people have only heard of his heroic name and have never seen his real face with their own eyes.

After all, there were strict rank requirements for ministers who participated in the autumn hunt, and people had to be left on duty in the court, so not many people had actually seen him.

What's more, the King of Qin liked to be alone and rarely interacted with court officials in private except on official business.

This sense of mystery adds a bit of legendary color to him.

Coupled with the earth-shattering arrow shot during the autumn hunt, he made countless people admire him.

The attendance of the Prince of Qin at the flower banquet was a rare opportunity to get close to him, and many people tried their best to get a invitation from the Anyuan Marquis' Mansion.

Marquis Anyuan and the eldest princess were annoyed by the disturbance every day and could not help but talk about it in private.

"It's really strange. The King of Qin and I have never had any contact. Why would he suddenly think of coming to our house?" Marquis Anyuan frowned, puzzled.

"I did meet him a few times when I entered the palace, but we were just acquaintances," the princess recalled. "Your Majesty once said that this child had suffered a lot in his early years and was a cold-tempered person who didn't like to get close to others."

"Then why did the lady send him an invitation this time?" An Yuanhou wondered.

"I didn't send him an invitation. I thought it was the Marquis's idea." The eldest princess was also confused.

The couple looked at each other, and suddenly said in unison: "Is it Qinghe?"

"But I haven't heard of any connection between Qinghe and the King of Qin." Marquis Anyuan was even more puzzled.

The princess pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and said, "On the eve of the autumn hunt, Qinghe came to see me and asked me a lot about Gu Mingzhao in a roundabout way. At that time, I just thought she was just curious."

"Madam, do you mean that there is some connection between the King of Qin and our Qinghe?" An Yuanhou asked in surprise.

"Otherwise, why could Qinghe be invited when so many people couldn't?" the eldest princess analyzed.

When the princess thought of this possibility, she felt mixed emotions.

I am glad that my daughter has good taste and that the King of Qin is indeed a rare young talent.

What worries me is that the King of Qin has a cold personality and doesn’t seem to be the type who would be caring towards others.

An Yuan Hou sighed and said, "It's no use for us to guess here, let's call Qing He to ask him clearly."

The eldest princess asked the nanny beside her to go to Qinghe's courtyard and invite her over.

The princess asked directly: "Qinghe, is it you who sent the message to the King of Qin?"

Qinghe looked at his parents strangely. They had never asked about his social circle before, so why were they suddenly asking this?

She nodded and said, "Yes, what's the matter? Don't parents welcome him?"

"It's not that he is not welcome. He never attends such banquets. How could he agree to you?" asked Marquis An Yuan.

Qinghe smiled and said, "Maybe it's to meet his sweetheart."

This sentence made Marquis Anyuan and the Princess almost drop their jaws in shock.

The princess looked at Qinghe with a complicated expression and said, "You...you guys...when did this happen? Why didn't you tell us?"

Qinghe saw that his mother had misunderstood, so he quickly waved his hands and explained, "No, no, the sweetheart I'm talking about is not me, but Qinglan."

The eldest princess finally felt relieved, but she felt a little lost inside.

She calmed down and asked, "You mean, the King of Qin's sweetheart is Qinglan? Did they meet during the autumn hunt?"

Qinghe said: "It's not that Qiulie knew him. The King of Qin used to be a student of Prime Minister Liao, and he knew Qinglan when he was in the academy."

The Anyuan Marquis' Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion have always been on good terms. When Qinghe mentioned that the King of Qin had this kind of relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Liao Zhendong, this old fox, actually kept it a secret so well that no one knew that he and the King of Qin had this master-disciple relationship!"

"If the King of Qin doesn't take the initiative to bring it up, Uncle Liao can't just go and recognize him."

"The Liao family has found a treasure this time." The eldest princess couldn't help but say, and she was still very happy for Liao Qinglan.

Not everyone is lucky enough to meet a rare talent like the King of Qin.

While she was happy, the eldest princess also began to worry about Qinghe.

"Qinghe, you are older than Qinglan, and she has already found her lover. Why aren't you sad?"

Qinghe looked gloomy when he heard this.

"Mom, didn't you say that you wouldn't talk about this anymore?"

The incident with Zhang Fengshan really left her with a deep scar, like a thorn in her heart that she couldn't pull out.

To the extent that now, if she gets a little close to a man, she will feel fear and resistance, and always feels that anyone who approaches her has bad intentions.

Although the princess didn't know what had happened, she felt that her daughter was worried, so she consoled her: "Okay, okay, if you don't want to look for her, then don't look for her. At most, your parents will support you for the rest of your life."

Qinghe leaned in the eldest princess's arms and acted coquettishly: "Mother, I know you are the best to me."

The day of the flower banquet arrived as scheduled, and the Anyuan Marquis Mansion was extremely lively.

Liao Qinglan dressed up carefully and came to find Qinghe early.

She was wearing a sky-blue brocade dress, the hem of which fluttered like flowing clouds.

The skirt is embroidered with delicate cloud patterns, fresh and elegant.

Her hair was tied up in a high bun, adorned with a few elegant pearl flowers, making her look otherworldly.

Qinghe looked her up and down and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you dressed so plainly?"

Liao Qinglan smiled and said, "I come to your house as a guest, so of course I can't take over the show."

Qinghe shook his head: "No, you don't know how many people have asked me for posts recently. They are all here for King Qin. You have to dress more beautifully to outdo everyone else!"

After saying that, Qinghe began to open the wardrobe and prepare to change her clothes.

They have similar body shapes, so there would be nothing wrong with them wearing each other's clothes.

Liao Qinglan quickly held her hand down: "Really, there's no need. If I wear plain clothes, he won't be able to see me, so I'll just ignore him."

She was so persistent that Qinghe had no choice but to give up.

The two were about to go to the flower hall when a security guard hurried over.

"Princess, Miss Wan'er from the Liao mansion didn't send a visiting card, but she's making a fuss about wanting to come in. What should we do?" The guard said with an embarrassed look on his face.

Qinghe frowned slightly, looked at Liao Qinglan beside him, and asked, "Did she tell you she was coming?"

Liao Qinglan shook her head.

"Let's go and take a look," Qinghe said.

Before the two of them reached the door, they heard a burst of cursing.

"Open your eyes and see who this is! This is the future Second Prince's wife, the sister-in-law of Princess Qinghe! Are you, these cunning slaves, tired of living? How dare you stop her!"

Liao Qinglan recognized the owner of the voice.

Wow, not only Liao Wan'er came, but also Liao Xian'er who was staying in the prime minister's residence.
