Pan Yurou danced gracefully, winning cheers. Her charming little face was filled with a proud expression, and she immediately danced even more enchantingly.

He didn't even look at how many pairs of eyes were watching him. Dancing was not impossible, but if he was too seductive, he would probably be scolded as a seductress.

This kind of person, who did not know how to restrain himself, was actually bestowed the title of Xie Yu Princess. Mu Qianyu immediately felt that the person who gave the order must have been blinded.

"Your Highness."

Mu Qianyu was free again, she retracted her gaze and lightly nudged Xiao Chengyi with her elbow.

"Yes."

Xiao Chengyi responded indifferently. His gaze fell only on the flowers, plants, and trees surrounding the Dancing Garden, not giving Pan Yurou a single glance.

However, when she took the initiative to call him, he felt that it was definitely not a good thing.

"That little lover of yours …"

"Eat your food."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was stopped.

Mu Qianyu blinked her eyes, looking completely innocent.

Xiao Chengyi coldly swept his gaze at her as the corners of his mouth widened into a smile.

She was innocent, but she felt wronged?

Only he knew that she was just looking for trouble.

Just a lover and a lover.

When did he have a lover?

The two of them flirted as if no one else was around. Although no one went to see them alone, they would sneak a glance at them from time to time, wondering what kind of hidden relationship the two of them had.

Pan Yurou's dance was really long.

Even though it was beautiful, it was tiresome to continue on like this.

This was especially so for the young noble of a noble family who was waiting for her to step forward. He was about to curse her to death in his heart.

Wasn't this deliberately stalling for time?

If the Empress Dowager was too tired to watch, they would have no chance.

It was unknown how much time had passed before Pan Yurou finally stopped.

Seeing her gasping for breath and trying to hold it in, Mu Qianyu couldn't help but twitch her mouth.

If she didn't have the stamina to continue showing off, why didn't she tire herself to death?

"This official's daughter has made a fool of herself."

Pan Yurou fell to her knees, but her tone still couldn't help but tremble.

The empress dowager smiled and nodded. "Xie Yu's dancing is really not bad. It's improved a lot since last year. It seems like you've been working hard every day."

"The empress dowager is flattering me. As long as I can please the empress dowager, this subject is willing to do anything."

Pan Yurou stood up, and said with a smile, the meaning behind her words were simply too obvious.

The empress dowager had someone look at the reward and gave her a pair of butterfly hairpins made of pure gold. This could be considered as giving this County Princess a huge amount of face.

State Protector and his family were naturally overjoyed that their daughter was embarrassed in front of the empress dowager.

There was even a lady from State Protector who came out with his daughter to thank him.

Since the dance was over, and he had received his reward, logically speaking, this County Princess should have returned home quietly to eat.

Unexpectedly, she walked to her seat and did not sit down. Instead, she poured a cup of wine and walked out.

Everyone thought that she was offering wine to the empress dowager, so they weren't too surprised.

He raised the cup and lightly said: "Rou'er has always admired your highness, today is a good day to enjoy the flowers. There are a few flowers that have blossomed in the garden, I wonder if Rou'er can have the good fortune to drink a cup of wine with the help of this flower blooming good will?"

Flowers blooming side by side?

Mu Qianyu blinked, put down the chopsticks in her hand, and looked at her with a face full of curiosity and a little schadenfreude.

Isn't that obvious? This girl is expressing her love.

Actually, Mu Qianyu really wanted to help this County Princess.

With Pan Yurou's words, the noisy scene immediately quietened down. It was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard, without a single sound.

She, a daughter who had yet to leave the pavilion, was even sealed within the County Princess, and unexpectedly expressed her love and admiration to Xiao Chengyi in front of so many people.

Wasn't this extremely daring?

Even if it was adoration, how could there be a pure girl with so many people talking about it?

Furthermore, when she said that, she would occasionally glance at Mu Qianyu with a faint disdain in her eyes.

When she turned to look at Xiao Chengyi, her enchanting eyes were once again filled with love and admiration.

Even Mu Qianyu felt that this change was too sudden, and she was truly an expert at acting.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Chengyi and Mu Qianyu, their gazes filled with the intent to investigate.

Especially Xiao Chengzhen, he really wanted to see what his Third Brother should do this time, and that woman beside him.

Didn't that woman love to stay by her third brother's side the most? She didn't even bother to look at her own identity.

Facing Pan Yurou's public confession, Prince Li remained calm and collected from the start till the end. He raised the wine cup in his hand, slightly raised it, and only took half a sip symbolically before putting it down without saying a word.

Pan Yurou, who was holding the cup of wine, was instantly stunned.

The Prince Li did drink it, but he didn't say a word, as if she didn't exist.

Mu Qianyu looked at the cold faced Xiao Chengyi in shock.

It was fine if he had taken a symbolic sip, but he didn't give her a single word. This was in front of a hundred people!

Furthermore, Pan Yurou's family was also present. Their position in State Protector was not low, and their power must not be simple.

Why did he so straightforwardly care about the face of the Pan Family people?

The wine cup in Pan Yurou's hand was still frozen in midair.

The empress dowager did not speak either. Neither did the Emperor Jing.

It wasn't that Xiao Chengyi didn't accept her toast, it was just that he didn't say anything.

Although it would save face for Pan Family, he couldn't possibly let the dignified First Prince Xiao Chengyi make an apology right.

With his identity, it could only be said that Xiao Chengyi's way of doing things was not very friendly, but it couldn't be blamed at all.

"Rou Er, Prince Li has already drunk it, what are you waiting for a toast for?"

State Protector Pan Tao couldn't bear to see his daughter embarrassed all the time, so he hurriedly got up and scolded her.

Fortunately, Pan Yurou was not an idiot. After all, she was still the daughter of an aristocratic family.

He hurriedly drank that cup of wine, but he was still a little anxious as he immediately choked and coughed. His face was flushed red, and he was extremely embarrassed.

The servant quickly passed over the Kernels s.

Pan Yurou wiped the wine off the corner of her mouth and calmed herself down, then bowed to Xiao Chengyi and left.

As he retreated, he couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Mu Qianyu from the corner of his eyes; his gaze was filled with hatred.

Although it was just one glance, Mu Qianyu, who was extremely sharp, could still see it clearly.

Strange, she was not the one who made that woman look bad, why didn't she glare at Xiao Chengyi, instead staring at her?

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, Xiao Chengyi grabbed another Golden Silk chicken roll for her and once again successfully helped her fill up his Hatred Points.

Merely with a single chopstick, Mu Qianyu had received at least four to five gazes filled with intense hatred, and these could not even be considered as those that had hidden themselves.

As if she had understood something, Mu Qianyu glared fiercely at Xiao Chengyi, and said in a low voice: "I have hands of my own."

Prince Li lowered his head and ate, as if he did not hear anything.

Mu Qianyu was so angry that her face turned green, but she could not pinch him to death at the banquet, it was truly pitting her life away.
