Xin He sat beside the Queen and ate with gusto. She could feel the eyes of the people below looking at her. In fact, this was not the first time.

Xin He entered the palace when she was young. After being favored by the Queen, she never considered herself an outsider and often stayed by the Queen's side. Ji Wanran didn't like occasions like palace banquets. She always used illness as an excuse not to go to palace banquets that were not necessary. Anyway, the Queen would not blame her.

Xinhe, however, is a person who loves to be lively. In her previous life, Xinhe only knew how to train hard in the secret guard camp. After becoming the stand-in for the Prime Minister's wife, in order to avoid being discovered as a stand-in, she often stayed at home and rarely attended banquets among noble ladies.

Her mother didn't like palace banquets, but Xinhe did. Anyway, she could enter and leave the palace without her mother's escort, and the Queen and Concubine Shu both liked her very much.

Whenever there was a palace banquet, the Queen always brought Xinhe and the Fourth Prince, two little foodies, with her. Xinhe was already accustomed to all kinds of looks from people at the banquet and didn't care at all.

Be it envious eyes, jealous eyes, or eyes that thought she was flattering the queen and looked down on her, Xinhe didn't care at all.

There are so many delicious and fun things in the palace, so who has the time to care about those irrelevant people?

But today, there were two people's eyes looking at her that made Xinhe feel a little different.

One was the elder sister that I had just found. This elder sister always looked weak and helpless in front of my mother and father, with admiration in her eyes. She also called me "sister" affectionately and seemed very friendly.

But when she was away from her father and mother, this sister's eyes were filled with a hint of envy and jealousy, even though her mother had already spent all her money to give her many treasures after she returned home, and had made her yard very luxurious.

But as soon as this sister arrived at her room and saw all the furnishings, she began to speak sourly, as if she had taken great advantage.

Xin He really couldn't overcome the shadow of her past life and face the sister who had made her soul fly away in her past life. But she didn't want to make her parents sad, so she tried her best to be nice to Qing Yan.

Therefore, today in the Imperial Garden, when the Third Princess mocked Qingyan, Xinhe immediately stood up to support her sister. But when her sister just said something to the Crown Prince, although Xinhe was walking in front and a little far away, she was able to hear her sister's words clearly after practicing martial arts.

It was really annoying that my elder sister was trying to put pressure on me behind my back. Xin He was too lazy to pay attention to her.

The Empress and other ladies in the palace have been immersed in palace fighting and house fighting for many years. If anything happens between her and her sister, outsiders will only laugh at the Qin family.

Xin He didn't want others to laugh at her sisters' discord and her family's unrest. In this life, what Xin He wanted most was loving parents and a harmonious and happy family. She must protect everything she had.

Unfortunately, my sister could not hide the expression in her eyes at all, and the Queen had already seen it, so after rewarding her, she did not talk to her intimately. That was why the Queen asked me those questions worriedly just now.

Xinhe sighed and made up her mind that for the sake of this family, as long as her sister didn't go too far, she would never bother with her in this life.

Xinhe took another bite of the dessert. The sweet taste immediately made Xinhe squint her eyes in satisfaction. The feeling of eating dessert was so happy.

However, Xinhe immediately felt another gaze, and she suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked towards the source of the gaze. The man didn't expect Xinhe to be so keen to detect his gaze and look over.

Xin He saw that this was also an acquaintance, it turned out to be Prince Cheng. Prince Cheng saw the way Xin He was looking at him, but he did not avoid or avoid looking at Xin He, and even raised his glass to Xin He from a distance, and then raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

Xin He felt the pain in the chest where Prince Cheng hit her in her previous life. She avoided Prince Cheng's eyes. Whenever she saw Prince Cheng, Xin He felt that this Prince Cheng was different from the Prince Cheng in her previous life. In her previous life, because the emperor died early and the prince ascended the throne at a young age, it was impossible to curb Prince Cheng's power for a long time. Prince Cheng was also very powerful. She only remembered that the deaths of Uncle Yu and her father were related to him.

In the previous life, Xinhe knew that the Prince Cheng was more like Shen Tuo in this life, arrogant and ruthless. But the Prince Cheng in this life is very low-key. Xinhe's intervention made the emperor avoid Shen Tuo's rebellion, and the emperor escaped death in the previous life. It seems that Prince Cheng took advantage of Shen Tuo's rebellion to gain the appreciation and trust of the emperor and the prince. Prince Cheng also successfully entered the court, changing his previous image of an idle prince and becoming a praised wise prince.

Xin He had heard her father and Uncle Yu praise this Prince Cheng more than once. Xin He was a little anxious. How did her father and Uncle Yu in her previous life get killed by Prince Cheng? In her previous life, Xin He was just an unknown secret guard and didn't know the details.

After becoming the substitute for the Prime Minister's wife, she only knew that Prime Minister Yu hated Prince Cheng deeply and the two had been fighting in the court for a long time. In his previous life, Yu Shen chose her as a substitute to protect his mentor's daughter from being harmed by Prince Cheng.

Although Xin He has learned a lot of things and changed her destiny since her rebirth by traveling through two lives, many things around her are no longer the same as in her previous life.

But seeing this gentle and elegant Prince Cheng, Xinhe still felt that this was a huge hidden danger. This prince who always had a gentle smile on his face would definitely not become another good person after his rebirth.

When the two of them looked at each other just now, even though it was only for a moment, Xinhe still sensed a hint of murderous intent in Prince Cheng's eyes, just like a hunter lurking deep in the sky, quietly observing his prey.

Xinhe still noticed the vicious look at that moment. That look made Xinhe feel chilled, and Xinhe unconsciously avoided Prince Cheng's gaze.

Realizing that she was avoiding his gaze, Xinhe felt annoyed again, secretly annoyed at herself for being too weak. How could she show cowardice in front of Prince Cheng! How embarrassing!

Xinhe became more and more annoyed the more he thought about it. He picked up another piece of braised pork and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it hard.

Prince Cheng had been observing Xinhe secretly, but he didn't expect that the little girl was so observant and looked straight at him.

The moment the little girl looked at him, her eyes were full of doubt, hatred, and defense, which was very complicated. Prince Cheng seemed to have a feeling that the little girl seemed to have seen him before, and that they had a deep hatred for each other.

This was very strange. Prince Cheng was sure that he had never seen this young lady from the Qin Mansion, so where did such a hateful look come from?

Prince Cheng sneered and drank another glass of wine. This little girl has successfully aroused his temperament. She must be hiding a big secret. He needs to think carefully about how to discover the secret hidden by this little girl.
