Liang Qingxue squatted in the dark silently, not daring to even breathe.

She looked at Xiao Chengji secretly, her eyes somewhat straight.

Liang Qingxue had naturally heard of the Prince of Qin before, but she had never heard anyone mention that his Royal Highness was so handsome.

Xiao Chengji's facial features are extremely deep, with narrow eyebrows and eyes and a high nose bridge. Although these overly three-dimensional facial features give people a strong sense of attack, it is impossible not to be obsessed with them.

Even compared with the Seventh Prince, who was also good-looking and had good temperament, Xiao Chengji was far superior.

Liang Qingxue stared blankly for a while, and felt her heart beating faster and faster, and her cheeks turned red unconsciously.

Xiao Chengji sensed someone was eavesdropping in the dark and gave Huo Ha a wink.

Huo Ha quickly determined Liang Qingxue's location and invited her out.

Liang Qingxue bowed her head and said, "I am the niece of Princess Xianyi. My maiden name is Qingxue. I pay my respects to Your Highness."

Huoha asked, "Why is the girl squatting here and eavesdropping?"

Liang Qingxue quickly glanced at Xiao Chengji, and then said, "I came here with Princess Qin and Princess Xianyi. I just got lost in the garden and couldn't find the way back. I was looking for someone to ask for directions."

Xiao Chengji usually ignores women and certainly won't take the initiative to find trouble.

Now seeing that she was the niece of Princess Xianyi and knew Yan Yu, and she accidentally took the wrong road, Huo Ha asked a eunuch to send her back.

Liang Qingxue's heartbeat didn't stop until she returned to Princess Xianyi, and her cheeks were noticeably flushed.

Princess Xianyi frowned when she saw her like this: "Where do you feel uncomfortable? If you feel uncomfortable, I will have someone send you back."

Liang Qingxue quickly shook her head: "No, no."

Princess Xianyi was deeply skeptical.

She saw that the girl's face was flushed and she was distracted and giggling, as if she had met a man and suddenly felt sexual desire.

Princess Xianyi usually behaves in a very flamboyant manner, but she doesn't like flirting, so her voice suddenly becomes colder: "As a girl from the Liang family, you must behave properly. Look at how you look now!"

Liang Qingxue quickly sat up straight and said nothing more.

Liang Qingxue was distracted the next moment, and when she saw Yan Yu again, she changed her attitude and became extra attentive to Yan Yu. She was no longer cold and indifferent like before.

Yan Yu noticed the change in Liang Qingxue. She couldn't guess the reason for Liang Qingxue's sudden change. She just didn't like chatting with people who had a bad aura with her from the beginning, so Yan Yu ignored her as usual.

Liang Qingxue's emotional intelligence suddenly increased, and she became more enthusiastic in her dealings with others. When Wei Ruxuan targeted Yan Yu and wanted to spill the wine on him, Liang Qingxue blocked it for her.

Today Liang Qingxue wore a brand new light blue dress with colorful butterfly patterns. The material and style were both popular this year. She had never worn this dress before, but she knew that the occasion she was attending today was grand, so she took it out specially.

Seeing that her clothes were dirty, Yan Yu quickly said, "I'll ask the maid to bring you some new clothes from home for you to change into."

Princess Xianyi smiled and said, "Why bother running back to get clothes? A little wine won't hurt. Qingxue is not that delicate. I'll finish it later."

Yan Yu said: "Even if the clothes are dry, there will be wine stains left, which is not good."

As he said this, he asked Ningxia to go back and get a spring dress of similar style that he had never worn.

Not long after, Ningxia came back with a new set of spring clothes. Before the banquet started, Princess Xianyi asked Liang Qingxue to go to an empty room to change into them.

Several princes were clamoring to force the seventh prince, Xiao Qirui, to drink.

The Sixth Prince Xiao Jingshuo patted Xiao Qirui's shoulder fiercely and said, "You are great! I have heard that the granddaughter of Duke Yingguo is well-educated and well-mannered, but you actually married her."

Xiao Qirui raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Jingshuo then stabbed him in the heart: "Alas, you and Fifth Brother were close, and marrying Fifth Brother's cousin is considered a closer relationship. Why didn't Fifth Brother come?"

Xiao Qirui laughed: "Maybe Fifth Brother is sick and not feeling well."

They were joking and talking when Xiao Jiashan came over with his chief eunuch.

Xiao Jingshuo quickly slid over to Xiao Chengji and said, "Third brother, look at this good show. Hahahaha, I think fifth brother must be regretting it so much. He is like this. He only feels good when he loses something."

Xiao Chengji ignored him.

Among so many brothers, Xiao Jingshuo and Xiao Chengji have the best relationship.

Although Xiao Jingshuo was quite jealous of Xiao Chengji... to be honest, who wouldn't envy the treatment Xiao Chengji received in front of the emperor?

But when he thought that the emperor was so caring towards Xiao Chengji because his mother had died, Xiao Jingshuo felt a lot more balanced.

Anyway, Xiao Jingshuo didn't want to exchange his mother's death for the emperor's love, and he wouldn't even give him the position of crown prince.

Besides, he was a little jealous of Xiao Chengji, but it was undeniable that among all the brothers, Xiao Chengji was indeed the most capable.

If some matters of the Ministry of Justice and the Cabinet were handed over to Xiao Jingshuo, Xiao Jingshuo really couldn't pat his chest and guarantee that he could do it as well as Xiao Chengji.

He doesn't have that confidence.

Compared to his fifth brother Xiao Jiashan who likes to be treated like a boss and his seventh brother Xiao Qirui who has evil intentions in mind, among the adult brothers, Xiao Jingshuo prefers to associate with his third brother Xiao Chengji who will not cause any trouble as long as he is not provoked.

Seeing Xiao Qirui and Xiao Jiashan, a pair of brothers whose relationship was thinner than an eggshell, falling out, Xiao Jingshuo was so happy that his teeth almost popped out of his mouth: "Third brother, do you think that the fifth brother will beat up the seventh brother one day?"

Xiao Jiashan gritted his teeth and said "Congratulations" to Xiao Qiru, then gave Xiao Chengji a cold look.

To be honest, it was only after Xiao Jiashan saw Zheng's cousin that he decided not to marry her.

Xiao Jiashan had never even seen Miss Wen. Only after he and Xiao Chengji had settled the matter did he know the truth.

Rather than hating Xiao Qirui for being two-faced, Xiao Jiashan hated Xiao Chengji even more for stealing what he wanted.

If only Xiao Chengji wasn't there...

Even if Xiao Chengji was still alive, Xiao Jiashan still wanted to snatch his fiancée, whom he had been engaged to for more than ten years, from Xiao Chengji.

Things that originally belonged to him should not be taken away by Xiao Chengji.

Usually, Xiao Jiashan would avoid Xiao Chengji when he saw him, and was not willing to have any conflict with Xiao Chengji face to face.

Now Xiao Jiashan made up his mind, raised a glass of wine and walked towards Xiao Chengji: "Third brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, this glass of wine is for you."

Xiao Chengji raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Jiashan chuckled and said, "I respect you for being two-faced and disregarding brotherhood. You arranged for people to fan the flames behind the scenes and say that I am protecting the Guan family who are inhumane officials, and you elevate yourself to be an iron-faced and loyal minister."
