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

Xu Baiyu said this humbly, but he was gritting his teeth in hatred in his heart:

What does it matter if she is the principal wife or a concubine? Even if she is a concubine, as long as I enter Prince Qi's mansion, I will pull Xu Mingxi down and climb up by stepping on her head!

Why would those who want to achieve great things worry about the duration of a short period of time!

Qin Zhaolie raised his eyebrows in surprise at her remarks. He had thought that Xu Baiyu would probably make a fuss and ask him for an explanation this time, but he did not expect that she would be so reasonable, considerate and docile.

It seems that everything is considered for him, and she is willing to "suffer some grievances" for him.

I couldn't help but admire her from the bottom of my heart: "My Xing'er is the one who knows the limits and knows when to advance and retreat. It would be my fortune to have Xing'er.

How could this prince let my Xing'er be his concubine?"

Xu Baiyu felt somewhat complacent with himself; this tactic of retreating to advance really worked.

She punched Qin Zhaolie's chest with her soft fist and whispered shyly, "Your Highness is always making fun of Xing'er."

Her eyes were seductive and she timidly hooked the hair that fell on her chest with her fingers. Qin Zhaolie's eyes followed her movements, looking down from a high place, and the tender white ravines were faintly visible under the slightly opened collar.

Qin Zhaolie just felt a little hot.

"Although Xing'er cannot be my principal wife for the time being, I can still give her the position of concubine."

"Then Xing'er will wait and see, waiting for the prince to welcome me into Prince Qi's mansion."

Xu Baiyu's arms climbed up his neck and her breath was as sweet as orchid in Qin Zhaolie's ear.

Qin Zhaolie couldn't help himself and put his hot hands around her waist: "Of course."

After some more sweet and affectionate talk, Xu Baiyu straightened his clothes contentedly and returned to his seat in the ladies' section.

Xu Mingxi, who was not far away, seemed to be chatting enthusiastically with the ladies, but in fact he had been sending Jin'er to inquire about the news from Xu Baiyu.

Jin Er quietly returned to her side and whispered, "Miss, the man from Hanxing Court has already met with Prince Qi.

They also... their behavior is so unruly that I cannot say anything."

Xu Mingxi listened attentively, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and whispered to Jin'er's face: "It's okay, don't act rashly for now, and you must cooperate with me later."

"Don't worry, young lady. I understand."

Xu Baiyu, today I will make you regret coming to the Autumn Appreciation Banquet.

When the autumn wind blows, the red maple leaves spin gracefully in the air, like dancing butterflies falling into Qin Lingruo's palm.

She picked up the slender stalk of the red maple leaf with her bare hands and played with it out of boredom: "The Autumn Appreciation Banquet is so boring, it's nothing more than a blind date banquet hosted by the Queen Mother. It's the same people every year, I'm tired of seeing them."

Xia Xueyao, who was standing at the side, covered her mouth and chuckled: "You are a princess, you will never have trouble finding a husband in the future. There are so many princes and nobles for you to choose from, right?"

"Yaoyao thinks too simply. Being a princess is the most helpless. It's not like you think, you can do whatever you want."

Qin Lingruo's eyes flickered, and she noticed a hint of "brightness" on the men's seat. She gently touched Xia Xueyao's arm with her elbow and pursed her lips to signal her:

"Yaoyao, look, who is that?"

Xia Xueyao laughed helplessly: "Ling'er knows that I have eye problems. How can I see clearly from such a distance?"

"No, you must have seen it clearly. Look, there is a flash of light over there!"

"flash?"

Xia Xueyao seemed to turn her head and really saw that there was a person in the men's seat who seemed to be shining with "ripples of light".

The man had fair skin and a cold face, and his figure was like a bamboo stained with snow, which was particularly eye-catching under the warm autumn sun.

"That is?"

"Oh, it's my brother. He must know that you have poor eyesight, so he wears a set of 'scale-colored brocade' clothes to attract your attention, hahaha!"

Qin Lingruo was outspoken and straightforward, which made Xia Xueyao blush. She said softly, "Princess, please stop making fun of me."

"How can it be considered a joke? I can imagine that before going out, he must be like a peacock, choosing one piece of clothing after another to wear today... Ugh!"

Xia Xueyao was very thin-skinned and couldn't bear to listen any longer. She boldly covered Qin Lingruo's mouth and said, "Okay, Ling'er, I know, I know, don't say anything."

Qin Lingruo stopped teasing her, smiled and nodded.

My dear brother, I can only help you up to this point. You have to work hard on your own for the rest!

"It's a pity that Yueyue is not here today. I just saw the two sisters from the Xu family and I think there will be something exciting to watch."

"It's nothing more than dog biting dog. What's so good about it? If Yueyue doesn't come, it won't pollute her eyes."

After hearing about the dirty things happening in the Xu Mansion, Xia Xueyao felt sorry for Xu Xinyue.

Until this moment, a shrill voice rang out:

"The Queen is here, the Queen Mother is here."

Everyone stood up and saluted.

The Queen Mother seemed to be in a particularly good mood today, and smiled kindly: "Today I have invited you all to accompany me to enjoy the autumn, so you don't have to be restrained, just relax.

I am not a man-eating tiger."

With this joke, the atmosphere at the banquet instantly relaxed a lot.

He Yunyin helped the empress dowager to sit on the upper seat, and then sat down obediently on her right side, diligently pouring tea and setting snacks for the empress dowager.

"Mother, for today's banquet, the ladies have prepared many talents and would like to show them off. Is your mother interested in watching?"

"Hmm..." The Queen Mother nodded and agreed: "Being with these young children, I feel a lot more relaxed. Young people should act young and show their charm.

I also want to see what you have prepared."

Xu Baiyu was a little excited. She had practiced her piano skills for a long time just to be able to show off in front of the empress dowager today and have the empress dowager introduce her to Qin Zhaolie. Today's opportunity couldn't be better.

When she wanted to get up, Qiu Lian beside her reminded her, "Miss, our plan cannot be achieved in a hurry. There must be someone to give some advice, so that your skills can be shown more clearly."

Xu Baiyu calmed down for a moment and composed himself: "You are right, I almost acted rashly."
