Forced to die for his loyalty, he was reborn in the arms of the cold and cruel regent!

The table has been set in the restaurant.

The huge box was filled with noise and bustle.

When Shen Feimo and Shen Mengyao appeared at the banquet, several friends who had known him since childhood surrounded them instantly.

"You have changed a lot. After guarding the border for so many years, the wind and sand at the border have blown you so hard that we can hardly recognize you."

"Yes, the Duke has served the country and the people, and you are no less than him!"

Shen Feimo was a little embarrassed by the praise: "Oh, no, that's not true. I just follow my father to make a living."

"If you make a contribution, the position of Duke will be inherited by you, and we will have to call you Little Duke from now on." Someone nearby flattered.

In fact, Shen Feimo was not familiar with most of the people present. They were all called over by his friends to warm up the atmosphere.

After hearing this, Shen Feimo's face turned serious: "Don't say that."

Everyone then realized that boasting too much was not a good thing for him, so they immediately changed the subject and looked at Shen Mengyao, who was standing next to him, wearing men's clothes but still looking thin.

"Who is this……"

Someone asked doubtfully, looking at Shen Mengyao.

Shen Feimo introduced with a smile: "This is my sister..."

Before he could finish his words, Shen Mengyao stepped hard on the sole of his foot and winked at him.

While he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, Shen Mengyao smiled and said, "Deputy, just a deputy!"

Everyone still praised him: "He is indeed a promising young man."

At this moment, a figure suddenly walked in from the door. Shen Mengyao happened to be at the door. She looked over and was suddenly stunned.

Why is it Qi Suian?

She immediately turned around and lowered her head.

Seeing his happy face, Shen Feimo walked up to him, put his arm around his shoulders, and said in a joking tone: "The Regent King has come to visit. I am really sorry for not welcoming you."

"What are you talking about?" Qi Suian rolled his eyes at him. Since they had a good relationship, he naturally spoke without being polite.

Shen Feimo couldn't help laughing: "Okay, now that everyone is here, everyone can take a seat."

When Qi Sui'an was about to sit down, she suddenly saw Shen Mengyao standing beside her. She stopped and smiled slightly: "This little brother looks so familiar."

"Is... is that so?" Shen Mengyao turned away, unwilling to meet his gaze.

When Shen Feimo saw Qi Suian noticed Shen Mengyao, he immediately explained with a smile: "This is my new deputy. He just came to the capital from the border. How could he be familiar with her?"

"You're right!" Qi Suian smiled faintly.

But his deep eyes moved on Shen Mengyao, as if he wanted to see through her. When Shen Mengyao was unable to withstand his scorching gaze, he turned around and sat down.

During the banquet, there was clinking of glasses and laughter. Shen Feimo, Qi Suian and others toasted each other and chatted happily.

When a man drinks too much, he naturally starts bragging and talking about everything.

Qi Sui'an didn't like drinking, and no one at the banquet dared to force a toast on him. One of them noticed Shen Mengyao, who was sitting next to Shen Feimo, and turned around drunkenly.

"Come on! Have a drink, little brother!"

Shen Mengyao gently pushed it away: "I don't drink."

She tried hard to hide at this banquet. If she had known that it was going to be a bunch of men, she would not have come. But now, she met Qi Sui'an, and she didn't know if her disguise could fool him. She could only pray silently in her heart.

However, her prayers did not seem to work. Not long after, Qi Sui'an took the initiative to walk to her side and said softly: "Little brother, I remember you seemed to have said before that you wanted to cooperate with me?"

Shen Mengyao was startled, and when she looked up at Qi Suian's half-smiley eyes, she was immediately flustered. She managed to stay calm and replied, "Your Highness, you are joking. I am just a small assistant. How dare I discuss cooperation with Your Highness?"

Qi Sui'an smiled slightly, and didn't seem to intend to let her go: "Oh? So what you said before was just a joke?"

Shen Mengyao thought to herself that something was wrong, but since it had come to this, she could only bite the bullet and pretend, "Did your Highness misunderstand something?"

Qi Sui'an's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement. He moved closer and lowered his voice: "Are you teasing me like a fool?"

Shen Mengyao was startled by his actions.

She suddenly raised her head and met Qi Sui'an's sharp eyes like an eagle. She felt panic in her heart. This man seemed to be able to see through her disguise easily, leaving her nowhere to hide.

"Your Highness, you really misunderstood..." Shen Mengyao's voice trembled slightly, trying to hide her uneasiness.

Qi Sui'an was unmoved. He stared at Shen Mengyao, as if he wanted to see into the depths of her soul: "Shen Mengyao, do you think that I won't recognize you if you change into men's clothes? I will never forget your eyes."

Shen Mengyao's heart tightened, she knew she had nowhere to escape.

She took a deep breath and decided to face it calmly: "Your Highness has a keen eye. I admire you."

Seeing that she finally admitted it, Qi Sui'an raised a satisfied smile and said, "Everyone here is young and talented. When your brother brought you to this place, did he ever tell you that you can choose any man here?"

If he dared to say yes, he would twist Shen Feimo's head when he got back! Are you so anxious to marry your sister off again?

Shen Mengyao's face flushed instantly, and she waved her hands quickly: "Your Highness, you are joking. My daughter has already been married, and my brother would not be so absurd as to ask me to choose."

Seeing that she was shy, Qi Sui'an was in a good mood and teased her deliberately: "So, no one here can catch your eye. I wonder what kind of man in the world can match you?"

Shen Mengyao blushed even more thoroughly, but fortunately the dark night covered it up.

"Your Majesty, I have never thought about these questions..."

Before he could finish his words, the drunk Shen Feimo wanted to ask his sister for help. When he turned around, he saw them talking in the corner and stumbled over.

"Do you have anything else to say to my follower?"

"Just asking." Qi Sui'an retracted his gaze, and his teasing expression turned serious: "Ask about your situation at the border. She doesn't seem to know much about it."

Shen Feimo was quite drunk and was still covering for her.

"He's only been here for a short time, so it's normal that he doesn't understand me! Come on, you're the only one who hasn't drunk today. If you don't drink, you're not giving me face. You must drink!"

He pressed the wine glass into Qi Suian's hand.

Qi Sui'an smiled and drank it all in one gulp.

The suffocating banquet finally ended. Shen Mengyao used all her strength to send Shen Feimo to the carriage. When she wanted to lift the curtain, she found Qi Suian standing not far away, looking at her with a smile on his face.

Shen Mengyao immediately lowered the curtain, and said with a slightly complaining tone: "Brother, why didn't you say that the Regent was coming too?"
