Quickly travel to save the cannon fodder? No, I will just flip the table

Although the Xiao family did all these things, the eldest princess's invitation still arrived, which clearly stated that Xiao Yuanhuai and other young members of the Xiao family were invited to join in the fun.

"What's the point of being lively? Who is it about? With her handsome boy? No one will go there, right?" Qianqian complained.

The system has learned to ignore the host's nagging, but proper venting is still necessary. The system feels that the direction of the plot is a bit complicated. Most of the time, it is in a cycle of angry - happy - confused - happy - angry.

At this moment, the system is doing its best to help collect information and make strategies for what is about to happen.

"Host, the princess has sent a message to all the prominent families in the capital, with the theme of enjoying the snow. It seems that everyone will go!"

"Enjoying the snow now?" Qianqian was full of questions. Although it was winter, it was not the time for snow in the capital yet.

"Yes, the princess owns a manor half a day's journey north of Beijing. It's starting to snow there, so I'm inviting you to go there to enjoy the snow!"

"What's the purpose of such a big move?"

"It is said that beauty deserves beautiful scenery. The scenery in the capital is boring. The scenery of the first snow is worthy of the beautiful boys and girls!"

This was the first time Qianqian had come into contact with someone in such a mental state since she came into this world, and she didn’t know how to comment on him for a moment.

Soon it was the eve of the banquet, and Qianqian confirmed with the system again and again: "Is it really not a scam? Just to go and see the snow?"

The system guarantees: "No conspiracy has been detected. The princess has known about the Xiao Mansion for a long time, but she has not said anything. Madam Xiao has not come out yet. The servants who helped her last time all had a bad ending. No one dared to help her anymore!"

"So I'm going there too?"

"Host, after all, you are the cousin of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and you are engaged to Xiao Yuanhuai. It is reasonable for you to go to such an occasion. If there is any problem, we can still help them!"

Qianqian snorted: "Who am I in the eyes of these people? I'm lucky enough to be able to help them and protect myself."

Just like that, several cars from the Prime Minister's Mansion set off with this group of men and women in their teens and under 20s. Of course, Xiao Yuanchang was also there, and the system informed them that Liu Yinyin was also on the way.

Qianqian hadn't paid attention to the male and female protagonists for a long time. Now that she knew they were still together and there was no sign of breaking up, she felt relieved. However, she got on the carriage first and didn't see Xiao Yuanchang looking at her grimly from behind.

He really didn't realize that his cousin, who was so weak at first, actually made his mother lose face several times after getting close to his grandparents.

Although my mother was indeed a little impatient, it was not right for a cousin who lived under someone else's roof to point fingers. I also heard from my mother that she not only looked down on her cousin from her uncle's family, but also looked down on me. Who the hell did she think I was?

His father was unhappy with his mother's affairs at home some time ago, and he didn't know why his father still had complaints about his situation with Yin Yin, even though things had settled down now. Therefore, he had become much more restrained.

If you make a fool of yourself when you go out now, don't blame your older cousin.

However, when Xiao Yuanchang was staring at Qianqian, Xiao Yuanhuai, who was standing at the door, saw clearly that his nominal brother had never been a tolerant person.

He had targeted me several times outside, but failed to get what he wanted. Later he simply avoided me. With his current expression, I wonder what bad ideas he is planning.

Several people had different thoughts, but they all kept them to themselves.

Because of the wind and snow in the second half of the journey, the pace of travel slowed down. Therefore, after trekking for most of the day, before dark, everyone finally arrived at the eldest princess's manor.

In the dim light and snow, Qianqian looked at the building in front of her. It was indeed a royal garden, very grand. The name of the garden was called Fengxue Villa.

After entering and taking a short rest, the eldest princess had already prepared a banquet to entertain everyone.

At the banquet, as soon as everyone took their seats under the guidance of the maids, the atmosphere became a little awkward. Qianqian looked around and almost laughed out loud.

The seats were actually arranged according to appearance. Look, Xiao Yuanhuai sat at the front seat, while Xiao Yuanchang and Liu Yinyin could only sit in the middle. Fortunately, none of the male favorites in the Princess's Mansion were present.

Qianqian looked at the expressions of the male and female protagonists and felt that the eldest princess had done a great job.

"Host, don't you see that your seat is not much better!"

"It's OK. I'm closer to the other two. Normally, I can only stand by the door and enjoy the cold wind~"

"Okay, you know how to be content, but at least keep an eye on Xiao Yuanhuai. The princess is looking at him with eyes that are almost tearing!"

Qianqian looked up and saw that the man above her had indeed started teasing her: "Hey, who is this handsome young man from?"

Xiao Yuanhuai had no choice but to stand up and reply: "Your Highness, I am the third son of the Xiangfu, Xiao Yuanhuai!"

The princess pretended to be confused: "I don't think I've heard of this before. I thought there was only one eldest son in the prime minister's mansion."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuanchang also stood up: "Your Highness, my brother has not been out much in the past few years, so the outside world doesn't know much!"

The princess didn't look at Xiao Yuanchang, but her eyes moved and she turned the wine glass in her hand: "Oh, you don't come out very often or you can't come out at all!"

Xiao Yuanchang was sweating coldly. What was going on? Wasn't it said that Xiao Yuanhuai would definitely be favored by the princess? The previous seating arrangement also confirmed it. Why did he seem to be picking on him now?

"The princess is joking." He replied awkwardly, not daring to say anything more.

"Young Master Xiao, you are joking. I never joke. Please sit down. Why are you still standing there? Let the banquet begin!"

Later, he acted as if nothing had happened and continued chatting and laughing with the people in the front row, occasionally glancing at the people behind them but ignoring them.

Qianqian was stunned: "System, what's going on? Could it be that she really likes Xiao Yuanhuai, so she stands up for him as soon as they meet?"

"Host, that's impossible. I didn't find out that she has such intention. Isn't it said that the princess has a bottom line?"

"The problem is that Xiao Yuanhuai and I don't have a real relationship. It was just verbally decided by our elders!"

Fortunately, Qianqian didn’t have to think too long. After the dinner, a maid came to invite her, saying that it was the eldest princess who invited her.

Qianqian confirmed with the system before following. No wonder she was overthinking and felt unsure!

When they arrived, they saw a magnificent hall, extremely luxurious. The eldest princess was sitting at the upper seat and Xiao Yuanhuai was sitting at the lower seat. The two were talking about something.

After hearing the announcement that Qianqian had arrived, they stopped talking and looked over. Seeing that Xiao Yuanhuai was fine, Qianqian felt a little relieved.

"Oh, this is your fiancée, right? No need to bow, just sit down!"

"Your Highness, Qianqian is still in mourning, so the engagement can only be done after the mourning period is over." Xiao Yuanhuai helped to answer.

"Hmm." The eldest princess looked at Qianqian carefully, and just when she was about to sweat, she spoke again: "Not bad, barely worthy of you!" The one you are talking about is Xiao Yuanhuai.

Seeing Qianqian staring at her with eyes wide open, she covered her mouth and laughed: "Why, did you hear the rumors outside and think that I was going to take it by force?"

Xiao Yuanhuai hurriedly said: "Your Highness is joking!"

Qianqian also replied: "Your Highness, that's just the prejudice of the world!"

"Oh, how do you know it's prejudice!"

Qianqian started to talk nonsense, mainly praising the noble character of others: "Your Highness can come here for such a beautiful snow scene without fear of wind and snow, which shows that Your Highness is a person of temperament;

He also invited us to come and enjoy the snow, which shows that His Highness is also a broad-minded and generous person;

When I entered the garden, I saw that the plum blossoms were in full bloom, but there were no branches to be picked in the house. I guess Your Highness is a person who cherishes flowers. Instead of picking them and leaving them in front of you, it is better to let them bloom on the branches!"

"Well said, I am such a true lover of flowers, but I hate that there are so many romantic stories out there, and that lady from the prime minister's mansion, who do you think I am? How dare she plot against me.

But after seeing him today, I can see that Mr. Xiao San is indeed a very handsome man. There is nothing wrong with a man of his appearance, so the faults are all with others. Fortunately, you understand me so well, so it seems that you two are a good match..."

Qianqian looked at the eldest princess's red lips opening and closing. No, her sister really believed it. She was just guessing!

And doesn’t the Princess herself think that this conclusion is a bit hasty?
