When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

Xu Xianyue looked back and saw a man wearing a black narrow-sleeved round-collared robe, a black jade belt tied around his waist, and an exquisite green-bladed short sword hanging at his side. He was wearing black boots and striding towards him with an imposing manner.

Xu Xinyue asked suspiciously, "Sir, it seems like we don't know each other?"

He Xuehuai raised his eyebrows:

This is, you didn't recognize him?

On second thought, that was true. Everyone had their faces covered that day, and he had deliberately changed his voice, so it was not surprising that he was not recognized.

"Xu Xinyue, this is my cousin, the current Duke of Zhenguo, the current hero who protects the country, General He Xuehuai!"

He Yunyin seemed to have someone's support, and he announced the name of the long pass in a haughty manner, with the ending tone rising, and he looked indescribably arrogant and proud.

It turns out that he is the protagonist of today's welcoming banquet.

Xu Xinyue nodded expressionlessly, bowed to him, and said calmly: "Good morning, national security officer. If there is nothing else, I will leave now."

"Xu Xianyue, you!?"

He Yunyin was angry. It was bad enough that Xu Xinyue looked down on her, but she was so bold that she even ignored her cousin uncle.

Pulling He Xuehuai's sleeve, her eyes were instantly covered with a layer of mist, and she said aggrievedly: "Uncle, look at her... that was how she was that day..."

He Xuehuai ignored He Yunyin and brushed her off. He took a step closer to Xu Xinyue and asked her in a lowered voice, "How old are you now? Are your parents still alive? You..."

The sudden "concern" greeting made Xu Xinyue feel uncomfortable all over, and she took a few steps back defensively:

"Duke Zhenguo, I don't know you at all. If you want to stand up for He Yunyin, you don't have to do this. As long as she doesn't provoke me, I will never take the initiative to make things difficult for her."

He Xuehuai glanced at He Yunyin and said coldly, "Oh? She provoked you? How did she provoke you? Can you tell me?"

He Yunyin suddenly felt something was wrong. He Xuehuai's tone didn't seem like he was standing up for her or venting his anger!

On the contrary... it was more like he was making the decision for Xu Xinyue...

Immediately, He Yunyin rejected this "unrealistic" idea.

No, it's impossible. She is a member of the He family and is one family with her cousin. How could her cousin be so ungrateful?

At this moment, Xu Xinyue was also a little puzzled by his reaction.

However, her mother had told her since she was a child not to talk too much about herself or her family with strangers.

Seeing that he seemed to have no ill intentions, Qin Lingruo said, "Duke Zhenguo, she belongs to me, and if you want to bully her, you have to ask me if I agree.

The banquet is about to start, sorry we can't accompany you!"

After that, he led Xu Xianyue and the others and left the Deer Garden without looking back. At the end, he left a sentence:

"I'll leave that man to you. I just heard that Miss He felt sorry for him!"

He Xuehuai turned around and looked at the slender moon-white figure. His eyebrows curved slightly and a smile unconsciously appeared at the corners of his mouth.

I'm in a hurry today, I will visit you another day.

He thought to himself.

No one noticed that Xu Mingxi was looking at Xu Xinyue's back with his eyes as dark as ink.

Away from the Deer Garden, Qin Lingruo took the young boy to a courtyard to rest and casually called a few palace maids to help him wash and change clothes.

After a little tidying up, the three were surprised to find that this well-dressed young boy was so handsome and elegant.

Qin Lingruo swallowed her saliva and asked with a smile, "Which family are you from? Why are you in Luyuan?"

The young boy timidly raised his eyes to glance at Qin Lingruo, his face showing embarrassment, and he said softly: "I... I am not from any family, I should also be considered... a prince..."

Qin Lingruo's eyes widened, and she asked in disbelief: "You are my...royal brother?!"

The young boy nodded gently and continued, "My name is Qin Leng... Because I was born and raised in the cold palace, I am not qualified to continue the title of prince... So I can only be called Qin Leng."

In the Beixuan Qin royal family, the princes and princesses were named by combining the first and last names of their parents.

Such as the eldest princess Qin Yuling and the youngest princess Qin Lingruo.

The same goes for the prince.

"Then why are you here?" Qin Lingruo asked again with a frown.

"I sneaked out through a dog hole. I heard today is a big day and there should be a lot of food to be found.

I was so hungry. Because of the preparations for the banquet outside, the palace maids hadn't brought me food for a long time... I sneaked out without telling my nanny."

After hearing this, Xu Xinyue felt very sad.

This little boy's situation is really similar to the person in my memory.

Xu Xinyue couldn't help but lean over, gently rubbing the top of his head, and gently comforting him: "Don't be afraid, sister will bring you delicious snacks later, just wait here..."

"Yes, that's right... Now that I know about it, I won't just ignore it. After all, you are... my brother."

Qin Lingruo rubbed his chin and answered in agreement.

Qin Leng nodded vigorously with red eyes. His look of wanting to cry but not wanting to was really adorable.

"It's getting late, the banquet is about to start, let's go to the banquet..."

The sun sets in the west and the palace lanterns flicker.

Qin Lingruo led the two of them to sit down at the table.

"Princess, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. I'm just a commoner, how can I sit here with you?"

Xu Xinyue could feel the strange looks from people around her. The noble ladies in Kyoto were all looking at this place, covering their faces with fans and whispering about something.

Xu Xinyue couldn't just ignore it, so she stood up and tried to leave, but Qin Lingruo suddenly grabbed her.

He smiled and winked at her, then pointed in a direction.

Xu Xinyue looked over and saw that the man sitting opposite her could be no one else but Qin Yuechuan.

As soon as they entered the hall, Qin Yuechuan immediately locked onto Yue Bai's figure who was sitting at the table.

She wore the dress he gave her.

Xu Xinyue on the opposite side looked in the direction Qin Lingruo pointed out, and was also surprised to find that the robe Qin Yuechuan was wearing was exactly the same style as her skirt, but the styles were different for men and women.

His robe, although ink-colored, also had the same dark pattern of flying birds and lotus flowers, but under the slightly warm candlelight in the hall, it actually showed a different kind of brilliance, low-key, restrained, and extremely luxurious.

She had excellent eyesight, and somehow, the distance between the male and female seats was not very far this time.

Xu Xinyue could even clearly see that the crown and jade hairpin Qin Yuechuan wore were exactly the same as hers.

It's just missing a string of tassels.

When he looked at her, his brows relaxed and a smile appeared on his lips. He was no longer silent and cold as before. Although he did not utter a word, his eyes seemed to convey thousands of words.

In his eyes, Xu Xinyue was like a fairy in the moon.

When she looked at him, her long eyelashes trembled, her cheeks flushed, and her clear watery eyes seemed to reflect thousands of stars, sparkling with tiny lights.

Above the main hall, the surrounding noise seemed to fade away and human figures floated.

There was only each other in their eyes.
