Looking at his back, Old Emperor squinted his eyes, but Dongling Liusu held the glass bottle that the palace maid had just delivered, and started greeting the Old Emperor.

Old Emperor also held the Glazed Caverns, bowing politely to Dongling Liusu.

The Queen maintained a dignified smile at the side. She occasionally echoed her words, but Noble Consort Xiang held the note tightly in his hand.

Shuangqing, that damned girl, gave her a note and left. Does she even know what kind of occasion this is?!

Fortunately, she wasn't the center of attention today, so not many people saw her pale face.

As Dongling Liusu and the Old Emperor were happily chatting, Shen Hancheng was actually sitting in his seat with his eyes closed.

This welcoming banquet was destined to not end so soon.

Su Jinruo looked at Shen Hancheng and saw that he had closed his eyes. Presumably, he was tired of this kind of boring banquet.

Then, Su Jinruo looked at the place where the royal family was sitting, and sure enough, he found traces of the Twelfth Prince.

Twelfth Prince seemed to want to drink, but the servant beside him had the courage to forbid him from drinking, Su Jinruo thought, it should be Imperial Concubine Rou's orders.

Maybe he was afraid of the Twelfth Prince making a fool of himself at the palace banquet.

Su Jinruo originally wanted to see how Baili Miyun was doing, but...

Just as her gaze touched the General Baili, the noble man who was resting peacefully beside her, suddenly spoke out.

The voice was so abrupt, so thought-provoking.

"Does City Lord Su feel that the Sixth Prince of the Chenxi Kingdom, Dongling Liusu, is very similar to the Ninth Prince of this empire with his attitude and speech?"

Su Jinruo's eyes moved slightly, she looked at the person beside her, only to see that the person beside him had already opened his eyes, and a myriad of gales could be seen within those eyes that were as deep as the ocean, moving secretly.

Su Jinruo narrowed his eyes, "This official has never interacted with the Sixth Prince of the Chenxi Kingdom before, so this official does not know what kind of character he has. As for Ninth Prince, although this official and the Ninth Prince have a conversation, I have no fate to meet and wish to have a long talk with each other. If Prince asks me this kind of question, this official can only say that I am not able to answer."

With a courteous tone, Su Jinruo's control was not lacking at all.

He felt that there was no place for him to give an inappropriate or unreasonable answer.

But right after she finished speaking, Su Jinruo's pair of eyes that had been staring at her this whole time narrowed dangerously.

Shen Hancheng's body leaned slightly towards her, his fingers tapped on the armrest, "I was unlucky … Hearing City Lord Su's tone, does it sound like it's a pity? "

When she was making up nonsense back then, the one who had her sleeves cut off was Ninth Prince Shen Fan.

Now that he said it, he felt a little regretful that he wasn't able to have a long conversation with the Ninth Prince … What's wrong with that?!

Su Jinruo looked at Shen Hancheng and laughed: "Ninth Prince's temperament is indifferent and gentle, this is something that everyone knows. In the past, this humble official had always been captivated by this Ninth Prince, like a gentleman made of jade, who is always loved by others. If there is a chance, this humble official naturally hopes to chat with the Ninth Prince for a long time, and chat about what is on my mind. "

Even though he said that, Su Jinruo knew that in this life …

As long as she was still in the official stage, meeting the Ninth Prince was something that could not be taken away.

Shen Hancheng laughed, his long fingers knocking on the armrest, knocking on it even more happily.

"Having this idea is undoubtedly wishful thinking! Amongst the people in this country, who didn't know that the current Ninth Prince had not participated in any government affairs for many years? Even though it was such an important meeting today, he did not attend. In the future, if City Lord Su wanted to meet him, it would be extremely difficult. What's more … He is not as good as Long Yi, and his beloved concubine is even more so close, and cannot be separated from him. Could it be that City Lord Su has such a thought, and does not feel ashamed of himself?! "

Su Jinruo thought about whether he should continue acting or follow his words.

She raised her eyes, saw Shen Hancheng's gloomy expression, and couldn't help but feel suspicious. She thought for a bit, in order to prevent Shen Hancheng from discovering her inconsistencies, she still said with a smile:

"This official did not have the thought of disturbing Ninth Prince. Ninth Prince and this official are like the noble moon in the sky and the unremarkable grass on the ground. Between us … Unreachable. But if there is such a chance, to be able to chat with the Ninth Prince for a long time, it might be a good thing for this official, does Your Highness not think so? "

Listening to Su Jinruo comparing herself to straw and straw as a way to emphasize the fact that Shen Fan held an important place in her heart, Shen Hancheng's simple and honest patience was completely gone.

He kept knocking his fingers on the armrest, and suddenly pulled Su Jinruo's slender arm, bringing her body closer to him.

This king is warning you, it was you who said you admired this king. This king has also granted you the honor of admiring this king, so you are one of this king's people! As this king's person, you actually dare to think about passing by like that? Don't tell me that City Lord Su isn't afraid of this king's methods?! "

Shen Hancheng's words...

Su Jinruo's expression changed slightly as she stared at Shen Hancheng's handsome face. Her heart sank.

Was he trying to test if his words were true or false, or …

Could it be that the man before her was simply eating his food and had other intentions towards her?!

Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng had never been able to touch a woman since childhood …

[The man in front of me must have turned himself around …] Sexual orientation?!

And she just so happened to crash into the muzzle of the gun?

Su Jinruo's heart grew heavy, but a faint smile still remained on her face as she probed: "This lowly official admires Your Highness, but Your Highness actually allowed it. But according to Your Highness's intentions, Your Highness is also very fond of this lowly official, and has a different opinion of this lowly official.?!"

"City Lord Su is thinking quite well." Shen Hancheng's lips drew back in a mocking arc.

"Who said that they would allow others to admire them? Even they themselves had feelings of admiration for others? Moreover, this king does not have the good fortune of being Long Shiyang. If City Lord Su is a woman, perhaps … This King can still be a little interested. "

"Since Your Highness has no other intentions towards this official, then why don't you allow this official to have a long conversation with the Ninth Prince?"

"Because This King allowed you to admire This King."

Allow you to admire me, and you are this king's man...

As this king's person, how could he have any different relationship with other men? Furthermore, he was entangled with other men.

Do you know that Su Jinruo belongs to this king? If he had any other thoughts with others, it might be … If you have other intentions towards others, that is the same as betraying this king!

Any betrayal...

Shen Hancheng let out a cold laugh and approached her. Su Jinruo's deep eyes shone in her own pupils.

"City Lord Su, you better restrain your unnecessary thoughts. If City Lord Su has thoughts that shouldn't be on others, this king will definitely let you live … no … if you want to die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Hancheng slowly let go of Su Jinruo's large palm, and a casual smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At that time, Su Jinruo had yet to react, but in the palace hall, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.

Su Jinruo stopped his thoughts and looked over, to see that everyone's gaze was fixated on him and Shen Hancheng's body at the same time.

His heart tightened. Crap!

He was so focused on guarding against Shen Hancheng that he forgot that he was the main character of the two dynasties meeting.

No matter how presumptuous or rude he was, the attention paid to him would still be the highest!

And she was sitting beside him …

What they were doing...

They all entered the eyes of the crowd without a doubt.

Su Jinruo lowered her eyes, as though she had realised something, she looked up at Shen Hancheng with a puzzled expression, to see him looking at her, smiling playfully.

So he was setting up a trap …

That day, when she coordinated with Shen Hancheng to return to the Seventh Prince's Mansion, she had not been able to understand why she had to display an ambiguous scene with him in order to lure out the person who had set this up.

Until the day she made a bet with him and met the Princess Xiwei who was deliberately making things difficult for her, she finally understood.

In her eyes, putting aside what happened a year ago, other than probing, there was only probing in Shen Hancheng's relationship with her.

But in the eyes of the bystanders, the relationship between her and Shen Hancheng, was actually a friendship that roamed the world, it could even be said to be... An extremely ambiguous relationship.

When she thought about the matter of Princess Xiwei requesting her marriage, she was sure of one thing, which was —

That incident in the Compendium Pavilion, the target of the person who set the trap, was not her at all, but Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng!

She was just a cannon fodder.

Could be lured out to be a useless cannon fodder …

Right now, Shen Hancheng was using the important days of the two empires' meetings to intentionally harass her. If the civil and military ministers saw this, it would definitely cause a huge commotion.

Following that, the person who set the trap would definitely do something new, and they …

The plain hand under the official's robe slowly tightened, and suddenly, the corner of Su Jinruo's lips rose, and bloomed into a bright arc.

Seeing that Su Jinruo understood everything in an instant and even took the initiative to cooperate, the smile on Shen Hancheng's face grew even wider.

Not bad. As expected of his man, so smart.

Su Jinruo looked at Shen Hancheng and laughed. Her smile was extremely bright, like a peach blossoming in a 100 li, the smile was extremely beautiful, almost dazzling Shen Hancheng's eyes.

In that moment, an unfamiliar yet familiar feeling spread out from his left atrium, and he frowned. Shen Hancheng suddenly stopped laughing, looked at Su Jinruo's beautiful face, and said:

"The fish has already been hooked. City Lord Su doesn't need to smile that much anymore …" It was moving.

Seeming to have noticed the strange way these two words were used on Su Jinruo, Shen Hancheng paused for a moment, then said: "There's no need to laugh so strangely anymore."

Su Jinruo, "..."

Seeing that she had slowly stopped smiling, Shen Hancheng continued, "Without my permission, in the future, you are not allowed to smile like this in front of others."

Not knowing how Shen Hancheng would lure out the person who laid the trap, Su Jinruo thought that the two of them were on the same boat, and what Shen Hancheng was saying now, should also be an act, so he didn't think of anything else.

She nodded and replied, "Okay."

The atmosphere in the main hall was extremely strange.

Shen Hancheng had just seized on the topic of Ninth Prince and entangled every single one of his actions without any hint of concealment, nor did he have any intention of concealing anything.

As a result, there were always people who took note of what they said and did.

The first person who looks at you sideways will have a second person, and a third person …

All the ministers in the hall raised their eyebrows, and all the Old Emperor s stopped their conversation with the Chenxi Kingdom Envoys, all the way until … After everyone gasped in shock, Shen Hancheng began to quiet down.
