Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

Hexi is worthy of being Qianlong's daughter, and she seems to have some genes for matchmaking in her bones.

However, Hexi would also emphasize that her potential as a matchmaker is much higher than Qianlong's. After all, she would not match people up randomly like Qianlong did!

On this day, when Hexi went to the palace to pay respects to Emperor Qianlong and the Queen, she unexpectedly met Benjamin. Speaking of which, since she got married, she has rarely seen Benjamin. And the intersection between her and Benjamin is limited to Xiaoyanzi and others.

Perhaps because she knew that Yue Wanhan liked Benjamin, He Xi began to observe Benjamin carefully for the first time.

You don't know until you see it, but at first glance it's not bad. Benjamin's appearance is very different from the Manchus and Han people, especially his unique green eyes.

However, He Xi came from the modern era and did not have much prejudice against Benjamin's exotic appearance. On the contrary, she felt that Benjamin's facial features were very delicate, but perhaps because his life was not satisfactory in recent years, his temperament seemed a little melancholy.

This look and temperament are the most popular among teenage girls as long as they are not prejudiced.

It seems reasonable that Yue Wanhan likes Benjamin.

"Hello, Princess Hexi." Benjamin greeted Hexi.

He has gradually come to his senses over the years and feels that what he did before was unfair to Hexi.

But he never found the right opportunity to express his apology.

"No need to be polite. How is Painter Ben doing these days?" He Xi had the rare leisure time to ask about Benjamin's recent situation.

She would never admit that she was gossiping. She thought that even if Benjamin had no romantic feelings for Yue Wanhan, such a pretty girl would definitely have some feelings for him.

"Princess Lao is concerned. Everything is fine with me."

"That's all?" He Xi said in disbelief. Why didn't she realize before that Benjamin was a man who was very frugal with words?

"No more." Benjamin thought about it and realized that there was no one else except Yue Wanhan.

It is not appropriate to mention Yue Wanhan, as he is already familiar with some of the rules of the Qing Dynasty.

He Xi choked. It seemed that Yue Wanhan still had a long way to go.

He Xi nodded to Benjamin and prepared to leave. She and Benjamin were not very familiar with each other.

"Princess Hexi."

Hearing the call, He Xi couldn't help but be a little surprised. She slowly turned around and saw Benjamin standing behind her.

"Huh?" She looked at him puzzledly, wondering why he suddenly called her.

Benjamin took a deep breath, then looked at He Xi seriously and said sincerely: "Although you may not care, I still have to say sorry to you."

He Xi frowned slightly. She really didn't understand why Benjamin apologized to her. In fact, she didn't take what happened before to heart.

To put it bluntly, in her opinion, Benjamin is just an insignificant character, or even a cameo character, with a weak presence.

What's more, the matter between Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei was a long time ago, and she didn't want to dwell on it anymore.

After all, dwelling on the past isn't a good thing.

Looking back, He Xi had been hurt a lot by Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei, but she never complained. When he was in Shufangzhai, he often heard Xiaoyanzi complain about her, describing her as a little witch, and the queen was called an old witch.

Despite this, He Xi remained silent and never responded to these accusations.

At that time, Benjamin's heart and eyes were full of Xiaoyanzi. Even if he felt something was wrong, he would automatically ignore those abnormalities because of love.

The filter of love is ten layers thick.

After all, love always makes people blind, making them only see the other person's advantages and ignore other possible problems.

However, now, after he had lost that feeling and completely given up on Xiaoyanzi, he began to re-examine this relationship.

He discovered that He Xi had never done anything wrong to Xiao Yan Zi and Zi Wei. Every time, they were the ones who started the trouble and He Xi was just forced to respond.

This fact shocked Benjamin, and it took him a long time to accept it.

It turned out that the "justice" he had always believed in was not entirely correct, and he even doubted whether he had ever been an accomplice.

Now, He Xi was so generous that he said that the past was no longer important, which surprised Benjamin. He realized that maybe he was too sensitive and He Xi didn't take these things to heart.

Through this conversation, Benjamin finally let go of the burden in his heart and untied the knot that had troubled him for so long.

As for He Xi, her impression of Benjamin has also changed a little. She originally thought that he was just a stubborn and unreasonable person. After all, birds of a feather flock together.

But I didn't expect that he would reflect on his own behavior and admit his mistakes. Such qualities have to be said to make He Xi look at him with new eyes.

"You and Miss Yue..." He Xi couldn't help it and hinted indirectly.

It's fine to beat around the bush with the Chinese, but if you do that to a foreigner, you'll end up in trouble.

Benjamin was a little slow to react at first, but then he remembered that when Yue Wanhan came to Ruyi Pavilion before, she said that she entered the palace with Hexi.

While thinking about this, He Xi secretly observed Benjamin's expression, hoping that he could understand what she meant.

However, Benjamin didn't seem to understand her hint and still looked at her blankly.

He Xi couldn't help but feel a little helpless, thinking: "Should I be more straightforward? But wouldn't that be too presumptuous?"

And after all, it is a matter between the two of them, and it would not be a good thing for her to break this window paper.

Just when He Xi was hesitating, Benjamin suddenly realized and said, "Oh, you are talking about Miss Yue! We are friends."

He Xi couldn't help but feel a little nervous when she heard this, but she pretended to be calm and asked, "Just friends? Nothing else?"

Benjamin smiled and replied, "Of course there is no other relationship. We are just ordinary friends."

Benjamin looked at He Xi strangely, and He Xi managed his expression in time.

Looking at He Xi's natural expression, Benjamin gradually put aside his doubts.

It seems that he still needs to keep a certain distance from Miss Yue. He naturally has nothing to do with her, but it would be bad if it affects Miss Yue.

Besides, Benjamin had decided that he was about to leave the Qing Dynasty and should not leave any hidden dangers.

Benjamin is a very gentlemanly man, and he likes people with Yue Wanhan's personality very much, so naturally he doesn't want to influence her.

Looking at Benjamin's frowning brows, He Xi sighed inwardly.

I don't know the origin of the love, and I love it deeply.

"Class painter..."
