Dress up as a sickly person to capture the villain princess!

The other side kept looking at me.

Xia Zhiyuan had already noticed that the dark-skinned and sharp-jawed man opposite him had already made a plan in his mind.

"Hello, hello, is the system here?"

"The dark-skinned guy across the street... is he the male protagonist?"

Hearing Xia Zhiyuan's question, the system replied quickly: "Dear host, Yes, this person is the male protagonist~ But since you did not choose the male protagonist line, you will not be able to be the male protagonist."

"Your main goal now is to avoid the male protagonist and focus on conquering the princess."

There was no need for the system to remind him of this, but with the system saying this, Xia Zhiyuan could be 100% sure that the person opposite him who was staring at him was definitely the male protagonist.

However, the original book only said that he was in a remote area, and his skin was slightly tanned due to years of soldier training. Now it seems that the description in the novel is a complete lie, and his skin is as black as a piece of charcoal.

He looks like a black man who just came out of a coal mine!

"Didn't I tell you, if you're not feeling well, don't force yourself."

His father had official business to attend to today and could not refuse, so he asked him to follow his sister here. Xia Zhisong naturally knew that his father was discussing marriage with the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

Maybe one day, my good sister will marry into the Marquis Zhongyong’s mansion and become the marquis’s wife.

Xia Zhisong clenched his fingers tightly, very unhappy with his father's arrangement. As upright people, how could they be lumped together with these powerful and dissolute young men?

Therefore, the reason why my father asked me to come here today was not to celebrate the princess' birthday, but to take this opportunity to let my sister and the young marquis meet.

See if the two of you are happy with each other.

However, seeing the lustful look in his eyes, it's easy to imagine that he has been fascinated by it for a long time.

"Don't worry, brother. I'm fine."

"But, brother - I'm afraid it's not good to frown like this during the princess' banquet, right?"

"If Her Royal Highness the Princess saw this..."

He seemed to be hesitant to speak, but anyone with a discerning eye could obviously tell what Xia Zhiyuan wanted to convey. Xia Zhisong snorted twice in anger, and no matter how dissatisfied he was, he had to suppress it.

Although what my sister said was unpleasant to hear, what she said was not false.

If I act like this at the princess' birthday party and others see me, they will definitely misunderstand me or gossip about me.

It will cause unnecessary trouble to my father and even the Xia family.

……

"Your Highness, do you have a favorite candidate today?"

"Many young masters from noble families are here today. I'm afraid... I won't be able to see these handsome and elegant young masters on my birthday."

The girl who had been thrown grapes by Zhao Changlin just now has changed her dress. The bright yellow color is very suitable for today's lights and decorations.

Without the lazy energy from before, the girl sat upright on the chair.

"You are so brave that you dare to tease me?"

Zhao Changlin seldom calls herself "this palace" in front of acquaintances. The main reason is that although she now has the privilege of her father and a palace in the imperial palace, she still lives in the princess's mansion outside the palace most of the time.

The imperial city is heavily guarded and has to control everything.

It’s better to come out and be free by yourself.

"No, no, I'm just curious about what kind of person Your Highness would like?"

"Isn't Your Highness curious himself?"

"With so many people here tonight, there must be quite a few who have a crush on Your Highness, right?"

As she said this, Zhao Changlin actually became serious and began to focus his attention on the young people who came to attend his birthday party today.

They are of different shapes and sizes, but they are all well-behaved and respectful.

There were also a few unfamiliar faces, perhaps they had just arrived in the capital from other places.

Finally... Zhao Changlin's sight fell on the girl who had just given him a string of Buddhist beads, and his fingers had already warmed the beads.

Moving it bit by bit, there was a smile in Zhao Changlin's eyes.

"Whether she is secretly in love with him or has some other agenda... maybe only the person involved knows clearly, right?"

The girl on the other side shook her head when she heard this, and the pearl hairpin on her head swayed slightly.

"Your Highness, what you said sounds like what the Master said... I feel confused. Liking and disliking are just the same thing, right?"

"Is there...any other reason to be close to someone?"

Leaning back in his chair, Zhao Yihan had absolutely no idea what the princess was thinking, so he was too lazy to guess. However, after spending a long time with Zhao Changlin, Zhao Yihan could guess what this unfathomable man was thinking.

Of course, the premise is that if you guess wrong, we will not be responsible.

"Just because you don't have it doesn't mean I don't have it."

This was very annoying, but Zhao Yihan was speechless, so he racked his brains from his limited ink to find a few words to retort.

But just as she was about to speak, she noticed that Zhao Changlin's eyes were fixed on the person at the table. So, Zhao Yihan became extremely alert and followed Zhao Changlin's gaze, and indeed, she successfully saw the man's appearance.

Isn’t this the woman I just met? She is so brave that she dared to break in and look for Her Royal Highness the Princess?

How did he easily attract the attention of Her Royal Highness the Princess? Could this trick really work? Her Royal Highness the Princess usually doesn't respond to soft or hard tactics, but she does respond to this trick.

I've never heard that the princess likes to be so nice to people who don't like her. It's just in private!

It seems that there is still much to be discovered.

"Your Highness, you have been watching for so long... Do you have any ideas?"

"As long as Your Highness asks, there will be nothing you can't get!"

What do you mean by saying this?

Zhao Changlin closed his eyes and looked away, not bothering to pay attention to her.

"Although I don't like what you said, I don't deny that what you said makes sense. If you like something, you should grab it by force and hold it tightly in your hands."

"But...I'm not as mean to that kid as you think."

"I just thought she was hilarious."

At this time, the opera came on stage, and the young men with makeup on took turns to sing. It could be said that one person finished singing and then another person came on stage, one after another.

Zhao Changlin has never liked listening to this kind of music. The sound of gongs and drums will hurt his ears after listening to it for a long time.

She prefers to listen to solo instruments.

But even though today is my birthday, I still have to put on a show for others to see.

"Your Highness - are you really just finding it funny?"

"But Your Highness, you were clearly staring at that person just now. You can't fool anyone."

"And...I heard that there is a marriage going on in the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion recently."

"The one who was promised was... the young lady of the Xia Mansion."

"But nothing has been decided yet. We have to wait for the reply from the Marquis' Mansion. As long as the young Marquis agrees, I'm afraid good things will happen soon."
