C7 To See a Person or to See a Landscape

Qiushuang was so excited that she finally saw some movement on Qiushui's carefree face, but she only frowned and did not follow up. This caused her to have no choice but to probe further, "I heard that the Emperor summoned us to go find Chief Consort for the First Prince!"

Qiushui opened her eyes and glanced at her. The First Prince, Xiao Jinglan, was indeed someone the previous owner of this body liked, but this had nothing to do with her.

Moreover, her meaning was obvious. If he remembered correctly, the person whom the First Prince liked was this Yin Qiushuang.

In the past, Yin Qiushui had suffered humiliation and ridicule because of this relationship. Was she trying to play the old trick again?

"Didn't you like Xiao Jinglan? The one who should be worried is you, right? "

"Sis, stop talking nonsense."

Yin Qiushuang pretended to be bashful as she reprimanded him. She looked away and no longer spoke to Qiushui. She was not happy, so she couldn't tell whether Yin Qiushui was pretending to be okay or if she really had no feelings for Xiao Jinglan.

"Eldest Miss, Second Miss, we're here."

After the coachman calmed down, he called over palace maid, who was waiting at the door. Qiushui didn't step on palace maid's back. She turned around, lifted the curtain, and jumped down.

Yin Qiushuang sneered. She stepped on palace maid's back and slowly descended to the ground. In her heart, she was somewhat confident. Yin Qiushui seemed to be in a bad mood; it seemed that she still liked the First Prince.

Thinking about this, her face turned even more arrogant. She came to the palace often, so she definitely had more experience than Yin Qiushui. She didn't believe that Yin Qiushui would be able to snatch anything away from her.

Qiushui quietly followed behind Qiushuang. Along the way, they did not talk much, but there were already many young masters and young masters of the official families gathered in Cypress Pit in the Imperial Garden. Their Xiao Kingdom s were elegant, and if the young masters of various families were to have some fun and act elegantly, they would not be so formal in front of a man or woman.

Qiushui knew that palace fights were not that simple, and she did not want to take in complicated and related words. In this life, her biggest wish was to slowly accumulate some capital and bring Xue'er away from General's Estate to travel the world, free and unfettered.

"Third Prince is here!"

As soon as the eunuch announced the news, several young ladies nearby burst into a commotion. They were greeted by a man in a long snow-white robe, his cuffs and belt adorned with fine patterns of black bamboo, which matched the flute he wore at his waist. He wore a purple and gold crown, fixed in place by a jade hairpin, his features picturesque, his nose high, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a smile that was not a smile.

Someone beside him said in a soft voice while suppressing his excitement: "Didn't Third Prince never attend these kinds of parties?"

"He's His Majesty's favorite son, so we've always been here. We can't comment on that."

The two of them chattered on about Third Prince's outfit today and expressed their admiration towards him. Qiushui stroked her chin in contemplation. His looks were indeed impeccable, so it was no wonder that the little girls were crazy about him. But, where did she meet him?

Third Prince's personality was also weird. He wasn't close to his peers, so when he found a seat on the right under the main seat, he found it very attractive, but no one actually went up. Qiushui wondered, could it be that this smiling Second Prince was also someone that was hard to get close to?

When the emperor arrived, everyone knelt down to greet him. Qiushui secretly sized him up, the emperor really does have the dignity of the Son of Heaven, his position and aura of power seem to be different, and beside him followed a woman dressed in luxurious clothing, looking extremely graceful, in her thirties with pearl rings and hollow clothes, Jin Yanfei was on the palace roof, Yang Hua's pleated skirt was draped with emerald curtains, his eyebrows were slightly raised, his face was pink and filled with spring dew, so she should be the queen.

When everyone was seated, Qiushui found a chance to slow down her steps and hide at the table furthest away from the emperor. Qiushuang didn't stop them even if she saw them, probably thinking that she was afraid of losing face.

The banquet began with a Western dance. The musicians played their instruments, and an enchanting woman with a veil covering her bare feet walked onto the stage. Her white feet were tied together with two little bells.

Only Qiushui, who was sitting at the furthest end of the hall, was having a hearty taste of the delicious food in the palace. She had always been a sweet eater, and it had to be said that the dessert made by the palace's chefs were actually quite good.

However, she didn't expect that the other pair of eyes in the distance would keep on observing her without showing any change in expression. From the moment he had first entered the room, he had never paid attention to this girl with General's Estate, and even now, he only knew how to eat. He was completely unaware of the performance on stage.

Mmm, it's too sweet.

However, it did not seem bad.

The King's City beside Xiao Mochen was so shocked that they saw their master eat the sweet food. The young master was a dark man, why did he start to eat the sweet food all of a sudden? He was really confused about what happened.

Qiushui, however, was completely unaware that anyone was paying attention to her every move. After she had eaten her fill, she wanted to take a nap, but that woman's dance was long enough, and she actually still hadn't finished even after so long. She yawned as she was drowsy, and supported her forehead with her hand; her hair that fell down slightly in front of her covered her face, not to mention that no one would notice her movements.

This woman thought that she was good at acting, but after observing her until now, he could see through her thoughts with one glance. She could actually sleep at a royal banquet, she was truly an interesting person.

"Third Brother, what are you looking at?"

Xiao Jinglan had long noticed Xiao Mochen's good mood today, and he kept looking towards the left corner. From his point of view, there was nothing else other than that foolish and loathsome daughter sitting there. His little brother had never liked to participate in these types of gatherings, so he had always followed his Liu Steel Pet. Today, he unexpectedly came uninvited, causing his heart to be on guard. He didn't know what his intentions were.

Xiao Mochen had long since looked away and smiled at Xiao Jinglan as if nothing had happened. "Mochen is helping Royal Brother to find your Lili at this royal banquet," he said.

What Xiao Mochen said made Xiao Jinglan's expression change. He knew Chief Consort had no right to help him, but he knew he had the ability. Royal Father trusted him personally, so his words had the ability to affect him.

Xiao Jinglan quickly hid the smile on his face. He had been in the palace for so many years, it was not difficult for him to endure: "Then, thank you, Third Brother. Which lady is Third Brother close to?"

It was not that he was suspicious, it was just that Xiao Mochen was indeed looking at the opposite woman. It was impossible for that woman to be here, she might have just glanced at him, it was just that he did not know who he was interested in.

Xiao Jinglan remained calm and collected as he continued to follow Xiao Mochen's line of sight. It was just that Xiao Mochen had a faint smile on his face as he concentrated on watching the dance. Xiao Jinglan could only temporarily put down his thoughts and agree with the others.

Qiushui slept for a while until her head fell off. After looking around, she realized that no one was paying attention to her and sat upright. The dancer had left the stage and it was time for the aristocratic ladies to perform.

Qiushuibai curled her lips out of boredom. Her gaze inadvertently swept across the group of young talents opposite her. She actually saw Xiao Jinglan, the First Prince that she remembered running in pursuit. The two of them stared at each other blankly.
