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

Xu Xinyue had already arrived at the bank of Qujiang River. From afar, she saw Xia Xueyao, who was wearing a lake blue skirt, sitting under a willow tree by the river.

At this moment, her maid was cleaning the stone bench for her with a silk handkerchief and preparing tea and snacks for her.

Xia Xueyao stood on tiptoe and looked far away, as if she was looking for something.

Xu Xinyue found it funny and knew that she must be waiting for her.

The little expression of looking around eagerly even though he can't see anything clearly is so cute.

She couldn't help laughing and got off the carriage with the help of Xiao Chan.

Just as I took a few steps in her direction, I saw her eyes brighten up, her watery eyes curved into crescent shapes, she opened her pink lips without caring about her image, lifted her skirt and ran towards her.

While running, he shouted: "Yueyue!"

Xu Xinyue was worried that she might bump into others due to her poor eyesight, so she quickly walked towards her: "Yaoyao, slow down, I'm coming. Be careful not to get bumped into."

The two beautiful figures finally met in the crowd. Xia Xueyao smiled coquettishly and said, "I said, although I can't see clearly, I can recognize your figure at a glance."

Xu Xinyue said jokingly, "Yes, yes, Yaoyao is the best. She can recognize me no matter what."

"That's right." Xia Xueyao raised her little chin, feeling quite proud and complacent.

When the two were talking happily, a harsh and sharp voice sounded at an inopportune time:

"Oh, I was wondering who was so unruly and shouting. It turned out to be Miss Xia."

Xia Xueyao could recognize this voice even with her eyes closed.

Isn’t it Hu Qiuzhu who suffered a setback at Magnolia Pavilion a few days ago?

Xia Xueyao turned around and pretended to be shocked:

"Oh, isn't this Miss Hu? What's going on? I don't know who was yelling and shouting at us last time in Magnolia Pavilion. How come she ran away while we were chatting? Why didn't you mention whether there were any rules at that time?"

Mentioning the last incident, Hu Qiuzhu was furious and pointed at Xia Xueyao angrily: "You!"

Before he could get angry, Hu Qiuzhu glanced at the girl beside him. His eyes rolled and he changed the subject: "I said you don't know the rules. You actually didn't show courtesy to Princess Minlan."

"Princess Minlan?" Although Xu Xinyue and Xia Xueyao rarely attended palace banquets, when and where did a Princess Minlan appear?

The girl in pink beside Hu Qiuzhu seemed to react when she heard it.

When her name was called, she was stunned for a moment, then she raised her head, straightened her neck, and straightened her shoulders.

Trying to act like the royal family's dignity is inviolable, he said in a high voice, "How dare you ignore this princess and offend the royal dignity."

The girl in pink raised her hand, pretending to teach Xia Xueyao a lesson in the name of the royal family.

He waved his hand in the air, heading straight for Xia Xueyao's front, and was about to bring it down hard.

Xu Xinyue raised her hand, ready to intercept her palm halfway.

However, she didn't expect that a emerald green jade bone-breaking fan arrived before her and hit the pink-dressed girl's fair wrist hard.

Unable to stop in time, she suffered a painful blow and cried out in pain: "Ah! Who is it..."

She covered her already swollen wrist, raised her head suddenly, and glared at the owner of the broken jade fan. As soon as she met his gaze, she was defeated unconsciously. Her arrogant and arrogant aura disappeared instantly, and she only shouted weakly:

"Xin, His Royal Highness Prince Xin..."

Qin Xingyue's eyes were cold and calm, and he just said coldly:

"He Yunyin, you are so bold. Your father hasn't issued the imperial decree to confer you the title of Princess yet, but you can't wait to take advantage of the power of others."

After hearing what he said, Xia Xueyao unconsciously lowered her head and touched the tip of her nose.

Although I knew that he was protecting them, I still felt a little guilty for no reason.

After all, they had done this kind of thing last time, and it seemed even more unjustifiable than this time with Princess Minlan.

There were discussions all around: "It turns out that she is a princess who has not yet been canonized by imperial decree. I was wondering why I have never heard of her name."

"She seemed to be the Queen Mother's personal maid before..."

"Is that so?"

Seeing the doubts around him, He Yunyin was unwilling to be looked down upon. She didn't know where she got the courage from, but forced herself to look directly at Qin Xingyue and said confidently:

"My cousin is about to return victorious, and the stigma of my He family will soon be cleared. It is the emperor who is compensating my He family and me.

"It is a fact that I will be the princess, so why should I pretend to be powerful? Your Highness Prince Xin, please don't talk nonsense."

The surroundings suddenly became quiet and everyone held their breath.

Even though the truth may be as she said.

But she was just a princess in name only, yet she dared to challenge Prince Xin.

She was determined that the emperor would not do anything to her in order to make up for the He family.

Qin Xingyue's face became even colder, and his lips were pursed coldly.

He leaned close to He Yunyin's ear and said coldly in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Regardless of whether the emperor truly trusts the He family, even if you are really related to the He family, how many people know you? You are just an ant. As long as I want, anyone can be -

He, Yun, Yin. "

After saying that, he didn't care about He Yunyin's trembling lips and stunned expression.

I couldn't refute it even a word.

Leaving behind He Yunyin and Hu Qiuzhu.

Retreat back to Xia Xueyao and Xu Xianyue.

Completely different from his cold and ruthless attitude just now, at this moment, he spoke to Xia Xueyao in a gentle voice with a soft look on his face:

"Last time you said you wanted to know the local customs and practices of He Nanyuan. I can tell you today when I have time."

Xia Xueyao was curious about what Qin Xingyue had said to Princess Minlan that left her speechless.

Hearing his words, she nodded absentmindedly, took Xu Xinyue's hand, and followed Qin Xingyue to the main venue of the poetry and literature meeting amid the astonished and envious eyes of everyone.

There are also various calligraphy, painting and poetry competitions at the poetry and prose meeting.

Divided into regions, literati and poets can participate in literary competitions in different "regions" according to their own preferences.

Xu Xinyue originally came here to accompany Xia Xueyao. The two people beside him were laughing and chatting as if they were alone, which made him feel even more bored, so he just watched casually.

Passing by the poetry and painting area, I accidentally caught a glimpse of an ink painting of bamboo under the moonlight.

Just a few strokes, alternating between light and dark.

The hazy moonlight, the green bamboo forest,

The bamboo branches in the painting seem to have an integrity that stands tall against the frost and rain and remains unyielding to the world.

She couldn't help but stop and admire it for a while.

It really has the same effect as the bamboo forest in front of Qin Yuechuan's study.

If I give it to him, it would be perfect.

Xu Xianyue's lips curled up unconsciously, and she raised her voice and asked, "May I ask who painted this picture? Can you give it up?"

Qin Xingyue and Xia Xueyao turned around and said, "Yueyue, do you want to buy this painting?"

Qin Xingyue put his fan to his chin, looked at it carefully, and praised sincerely: "This painting has form, rhythm, and spirit. It is indeed a top-notch masterpiece.

This painting is good, and Miss Xu has a good eye."

A clear voice came from behind: "Thank you for your kindness, I am ashamed to accept it."

The three of them turned around at the same time, and Xu Xinyue was surprised to find that the person who painted was actually Qi Mobai.

It was still wearing plain clothes. Even when Qin Xingyue, who was wearing gorgeous clothes, looked at it from head to toe, it did not show any restraint.

Be calm and composed and take it easy.

His eyes were open and he looked at Xu Xinyue with a smile: "Since Miss Xu likes Qi's paintings.

It is hard to find a soulmate, so Qi is willing to give this painting to you with both hands. "

Xu Xinyue was about to refuse. How could he accept someone's favor for no reason? Moreover, he knew that Qi Mobai's family was poor and he probably came here to sell some paintings to supplement his family income.

This painting could be sold for some money. If she took it for free, wouldn't that be cutting off her source of income?

Before she could say no, another cold voice rang out:

"I can't bear to see Master Qi waste his time and energy, so I bought this painting for her."
