After I traveled through the book, I became the favorite of the cold and indifferent prince.

Yan Qingwan frowned upon hearing this, then lowered her head slightly, with a hint of shyness on her face. She didn't dare to look him in the eye at all, and just said in a very small voice: "After all, there is a difference between your highness and I.

Moreover, everyone below can definitely see what happened here. If we continue, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble. By then, rumors will surely spread. Your Highness, please..."

The rest of the words were not finished, but the meaning was clear.

Si Jinchen was silent for a moment, a faint light flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

After a while, he slowly said, "Miss Yan."

"Hmm?" Yan Qingwan raised his little head curiously and looked at his face.

Si Jinchen's heart moved, and he twisted his fingers unconsciously. He looked into her eyes and said seriously: "I have never liked anyone before, and I don't know how to express my feelings. I just want to tell you that I like you. Are you willing to be my crown princess?"

Yan Qingwan's pupils suddenly widened, and her face instantly turned red. She lowered her head and stammered, "Crown Princess? Could it be that the Crown Prince...likes...a minister?"

Si Jinchen nodded and said seriously: "Of course, my feelings for you have always been sincere. After several contacts, don't you understand?"

Yan Qingwan recalled the previous few encounters and it seemed that His Highness's attitude towards her was indeed different.

Her face turned redder and her heart beat faster.

She didn't know how to answer for a moment, so she turned her gaze to the lotus pond in the distance and continued to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

Just then, a breeze blew by, bringing the fragrance of lotus leaves.

Yan Qingwan instinctively took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

At this moment, Si Jinchen looked at Yan Qingwan's slightly red cheeks, and a ripple appeared in his heart.

He couldn't help but think of the moment in the Imperial Garden. When he covered Yan Qingwan's lips with his hands, the soft and warm touch seemed to still linger on his fingertips.

He involuntarily took a step forward, blocking Yan Qingwan's sight.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?" Yan Qingwan widened his eyes in confusion, a hint of doubt on his face. He slowly raised his eyes, trying to see clearly the prince who was blocking his view.

However, Si Jinchen was so tall that even if Yan Qingwan straightened his body and raised his head, he could only see his chin.

Si Jinchen remained silent, just staring at her quietly, his eyes focused and serious.

Yan Qingwan: “…”

After a long while, the two of them just stared at each other in silence. Yan Qingwan finally realized that the person in front of her was probably waiting for her answer.

She couldn't help but sigh helplessly, muttering to herself that this man was so childish.

Then, Yan Qingwan took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.

She raised her head, stared into Si Jinchen's eyes seriously, and asked softly, "Your Highness."

"Yeah." Si Jinchen responded.

"You said you wanted me to be your Crown Princess, so where is your sincerity? Do you think that as long as you say you like me and want me to be your Crown Princess, I will agree without hesitation?" There was a hint of coquettishness and dissatisfaction in Yan Qingwan's voice.

A gleam of light flashed in Si Jinchen's eyes. He stared into Yan Qingwan's eyes and said word by word: "Are you serious?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Qingwan nodded at him quickly without any hesitation.

The corners of Si Jinchen's mouth slowly raised into an arc, and then he said: "In that case, then you just wait for me to show my sincerity." After that, he excitedly took Yan Qingwan into his arms and hugged her tightly.

Yan Qingwan widened her eyes, but soon she curled the corners of her lips slightly, slowly closed her eyes, and stretched out her slender hands to hug the prince's waist.

Si Jinchen's body trembled, and then his hands couldn't help but move more tightly.

At this time, at the foot of the mountain, Zeng Yulan was seen staring with her round almond eyes at the two people hugging each other in the pavilion in disbelief and full of envy and jealousy.

Yan, Yan, this bitch Yan Qingwan actually dared to seduce her cousin the prince in private.

The prince's cousin must have been deceived by this vixen. He would never like this bitch!

Zeng Yulan was so angry that she was shaking all over, her chest heaving violently, and she kept cursing in her heart: Yan Qingwan, you shameless bitch, how dare you seduce the prince's cousin behind my back! The prince's cousin is mine, no one can take him away, not even Yan Qingwan.

After cursing for a while, she clenched her fists and thought hard in her mind. She was going to make this bitch look bad at the banquet no matter what, otherwise she would never be able to get rid of the hatred in her heart.

In addition to this, she also had to find her cousin privately to express her feelings, saying that she was willing to do anything as long as she could marry him.

Standing not far behind her was Wei Shaoqin, who had followed her because he was worried.

He never thought that he would encounter such a scene in private.

Yan Qingwan's appearance flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but clench his fists, and then let go weakly.

He pursed his lips and looked at the two people in the pavilion with complicated eyes, his heart full of contradictions and entanglements.

After half an incense stick of time, he turned around swiftly and walked away with heavy steps.

He knew that some things could not be changed and he could only choose to accept reality.

Perhaps, this is fate...

I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will treat Miss Yan well!

Inside the pavilion.

After the two hugged each other in silence for a while, Si Jinchen gently let go of her hand.

Then his gaze slowly moved down, landing on Yan Qingwan's forehead, eyelashes, nose tip, and delicate lips.

Si Jinchen swallowed involuntarily, then his eyes turned away in panic, with a slight blush on the tips of his ears.

Yan Qingwan didn't know what he was thinking. After he let her go, she straightened her clothes and said softly, "It seems to be getting late. Let's go out first."

"Hmm." A deep and hoarse voice came out of his mouth.

Yan Qingwan glanced at him in confusion, and without thinking much, he walked out.

Si Jinchen followed her silently, and the two of them slowly walked down the stone steps one after the other.

When they arrived at the lotus pond, Yan Qingwan looked at the sky, then looked at Si Jinchen and said embarrassedly, "Then I'll go meet up with my grandmother first. See you later."

Si Jinchen responded in a low voice again.

Yan Qingwan smiled, raised her fair and tender face, looked at Si Jinchen and said in a tender voice: "Actually, I like Your Highness very much too."

After saying that, without waiting for Si Jinchen to react, she turned around and ran away.

After hearing this, Si Jinchen stood there in a daze, looking at her departing back until she disappeared.

He took a deep breath, calmed his somewhat messy and surprised mood, the corners of his lips unconsciously curled up slightly, and then he turned and left.

By the lotus pond, the breeze blows, and the lotus leaves sway gently, as if telling some secrets...
