Lu Yingqin's body became even stiffer, but he also forcibly distanced himself from the two of them, pretending not to care, "If there are servants who bully their masters, just tell your cousin, and those blind people will be sent away. Why are you crying?"

Song Qingrang also saw the woman walking towards this side, and he even saw someone coming out at the moment when the two of them hugged each other.

He was not panicked or worried. He even wanted to hold on to the woman and let the concubine see that they were indeed in a close relationship.

But if this is the case, his cousin will definitely get tired of him, so Song Qingrang could only endure it reluctantly, "I know, I just wanted to come and see my cousin, I couldn't help it just now..."

"Qingrang, I will eventually get married, and these... cannot be said out loud after all." Seeing his pitiful expression, Lu Yingqin sighed helplessly, and finally couldn't bear to say anything harsh.

At this moment, the graceful woman had already walked over and bowed crisply, "Prince, cousin."

Lu Yingqin looked at the person and wanted to ask something but didn't know what to ask. He couldn't just ask, "Did you see anything about us?" That would be too weird.

Perhaps the man's eyes were too sharp, Liu Fuyin pursed her lips unconsciously, and the doubt in her eyes was instantly replaced by timidity, but she looked at Song Qingrang with an expression that made her seem hesitant to speak.

"What are you looking at?" Lu Yingqin pondered for a long time and only asked this ambiguously.

"I just ran into my cousin in the garden just now, and I thought he was here to see the prince..." She didn't say the rest of the words, but Song Qingrang reacted immediately.

At that time he insisted that it was not the case, but now that someone was coming over, he felt like he was slapped in the face.

Song Qingrang was also a little hesitant, "We bumped into each other while admiring the flowers."

Both of them were hesitant. If Lu Yingqin hadn't known how his cousin felt about him, he would have thought that something was going on between them!

He frowned slightly, still having some doubts while thinking, after all, she had said before that she felt they had a very good relationship. He didn't know if she had seen anything, but the woman in front of him seemed very calm, not like she was pretending. It should be said that this woman who had always been timid in front of him couldn't pretend anything.

After thinking about it, he couldn't come up with anything to say. He just moved his eyes back and forth between the two of them, "Appreciating the flowers?"

Liu Fuyin smiled shyly, "Your birthday is coming soon, and my cousin is kind enough to talk to me, so I want to find out what you like."

"My lord, I am just a concubine and there is nothing good about me. Please don't despise me," Liu Fuyin blinked at him obediently. Her sticky gaze seemed to be able to seduce people. She was really seductive.

She smiled with her lips curled up, and when she talked about him, her eyes turned a little bolder with affection. If it weren't in front of the courtyard gate, she would have been so obsessed with him.

"It's still in front of people." Fearing that the maid would pull his clothes and act coquettishly in the next moment, Lu Yingqin frowned.

After spending so many days together, the other party also knew a little about his personality and was less timid. He returned to the room happily and did not forget to explain, "Sir, the nanny said that something went wrong in the kitchen. Today's lunch will be later."

Lu Yingqin nodded slightly, and when the person disappeared and the sweet voice faded away, his attention returned to the man.

Song Qingrang felt very uncomfortable, but he could only soften his voice and said, "Cousin, do you like Miss Liu?"

Song Qingrang has always been sensitive when it comes to emotions, and he was unwilling to accept it. It took him so many years to get his cousin to have some feelings for him, so how could he accept that his cousin would fall in love with someone else so quickly?

"A concubine, what are you hesitating about?" Lu Yingqin did feel comfortable with the woman's service, but to say that she liked him was an exaggeration, as he liked so many things.

Song Qingrang finally smiled, and boldly asked the question that went against the conventions, "So, cousin, do you like me?"

"Song Qingrang, you are confused again. I said I would marry and have children."

Song Qingrang had long been unable to restrain his feelings since the first time he realized that he had other feelings for his handsome cousin. It went against the conventions, but he could not control it.

I thought it was a relationship that would end in vain, but Lu Yingqin said he would consider it, although this was a ridiculous response that ended with him having a concubine.

Because of this, Song Qingrang felt that his cousin always liked him a little, so he always wanted to try again, "Well, I was confused, then cousin, you..."

The tall young man was really handsome, yes, he was handsome. If he were not like that in the past, he would not have mistaken her for a little girl. Seeing his beautiful smile, Lu Yingqin, who had rejected him again and again, felt a little uneasy in his heart.

What should he do?

Time would not stop for a moment because of the entanglement, and soon it was the coming-of-age ceremony on April 20th.

The sun was shining brightly that day, and the bright sunshine shone on the clothes and hair of the guests, seemingly inadvertently casting out patches of colorful light and shadow.

The guests at today's coming-of-age ceremony included clan members and in-laws, as well as good friends from the academy. Even his fiancé, Meng Yutang, was there.

When the ceremony began, the guests were together, until the clan elders gave him a name - Jingzhi, and then the banquet finally began.

The women walked into the flower hall at the back, while the men drank and chatted in the front.

"That is Miss Meng, the most talented woman in the capital. She has an extraordinary temperament and is enviable!" Dongli seemed to realize something after he said this, and secretly observed Liu Fuyin's expression.

Seeing that she was gloomy and solemn, he thought he had said something wrong, so he quickly added, "I heard that Miss Meng has a gentle personality. I think she will be easy to get along with in the future. You don't have to worry so much."

The host's house was bustling with activity, and the servants were also stealing a peek. At the women's banquet, the eldest princess sat at the head of the table, followed by Meng Yutang. The eldest princess was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law who had not yet married, so she was happy to give her some face.

After having their meal in the flower hall, the men and women gathered together. In this era, the separation between men and women was not so strict, and the time after a banquet like this was mostly for young men and women to communicate with each other.

On the other side of the flower hall is the palace garden, where there are some precious flowers specially placed by the eldest princess. Some students suggested playing the flying flower game, while others just enjoyed the flowers and drank tea. The banquet was quite smooth and comfortable.

I don't know who shouted "Someone fell into the water", but the originally orderly banquet suddenly became chaotic, followed by waves of cries for help.

Liu Fuyin, who had been observing people in the dark and was forced to accept Dongli's comfort, brightened her eyes instantly when she heard someone calling out.

Here it comes, here it comes, she has finally waited for it.
