Quick Wear: The female supporting role is soft-hearted and cruel, and the big boss chases her and ki

Xiao Zhe looked at her reaction and felt secretly resentful.

He didn't know what went wrong that made Mingnan reject him so much.

Fortunately, she didn't show any unusual attention to other people, which meant he still had a chance.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhe felt a little relieved. He picked up the wine on the table and took a sip to suppress the anger in his heart.

He looked at Mingnan deeply, then turned his eyes away.

The prince watched his reaction calmly from the side, his eyes dimming slightly.

He looked at everyone on the opposite side as if nothing had happened, and finally stopped at Mingnan.

She was dressed in white and sat among the women, like a handful of snow among the riot of colour, with no intention of competing but forming a scene of her own. It was obvious at a glance that he insisted on leaving her for the last one, and no one knew who he was competing with.

Mingnan seemed to sense something and turned to look over.

The prince suddenly withdrew his gaze, as if he had been scalded.

So Mingnan only saw half of the prince's cold profile.

Mingnan frowned. She clearly felt someone was looking at her. Was it an illusion?

She looked at the person opposite her suspiciously, and Xiao Zhe looked at her again. Their eyes met. Xiao Zhe was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips and smiled.

Mingnan: "..."

What bad luck.

She turned her head to look at the lotus flowers in the lake to wash her eyes.

Xiao Zhe: “????”

No, what do you mean?!

Coincidentally, a group of people came outside.

The eunuch's high, shrill voice came from afar: "Your Majesty has arrived - the Queen has arrived -"

Everyone knelt down and saluted, shouting "Long live the emperor".

Mingnan blended into the crowd, covering himself with his sleeves. He didn't kneel down, but just squatted.

When the emperor passed by, she raised her head and met the prince's gaze.

Mingnan: "..."

The prince's thoughtful gaze moved slightly downward, paused, and then looked up at her.

Although there was no expression, Mingnan understood the look in his eyes.

Prince: You are so brave.

Mingnan looked away guiltily.

Everyone is in conflict with her today, right?

Seeing her lively little expression, the prince couldn't help but curl his lower lip very lightly and quickly.

The emperor and the empress sat down at the top, smiled and waved their hands, saying, "No need to be polite, please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone sat down, and Mingnan breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace.

She glanced at the prince, but he had already looked away, staring at the things on the table, not looking at her again.

"I was ill some time ago, and the whole court was worried. All government affairs were handed over to you, my dear ministers, to take care of. You have worked hard during this period. Today is a good day with a clear wind and a beautiful blooming flower. I have also recovered, so I will hold a banquet here to invite you, my dear ministers, to share the splendor!"

"Your Majesty's words are sincere. It is our duty to share your worries. Now that we see that Your Majesty is doing well, we are overjoyed!"

As soon as the prime minister opened his mouth, the other officials followed suit, and their words made the emperor very happy.

The emperor's eyes swept over everyone present one by one, and finally landed on the prince. He paused and asked with concern: "How do you feel today, prince?"

The prince stood up and bowed, "Thank you for your concern, father. I am doing fine."

"That's good."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and gave a look to the eunuch beside him. The eunuch understood and said loudly: "Let's start the feast——"

As drums and music sounded on both sides, ministers immediately stood up to toast and offered a long string of auspicious words, which made the emperor laugh heartily.

The atmosphere at the table suddenly became lively.

Soon afterwards, a group of dancers in pink and green skirts came running in briskly, dancing gracefully to the music, with the lotus flowers in the pond as an accompaniment, which was truly pleasing to the eye.

Mingnan enjoyed the dance, sipped the fragrant fruit wine, felt the breeze, and squinted his eyes in satisfaction.

If nothing unexpected happens, today's banquet would be quite nice.

205: [Oh, don’t worry, there will definitely be some unexpected things, hehe~]

Mingnan: "..."

Thank you, little bitch.

However, what 205 said really came true.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the topic at the table suddenly turned to the marriages of the princes.

"All the princes have reached the marriageable age. Except for the third prince, the others are still unmarried. Why aren't you in a hurry?"

"Alas, marriage is a big deal, and you can't rush it."

"That's not the case. Offspring are the foundation. The prince should get married early and have children."

Mingnan curled his lips after listening to this. It was true that older people liked to act as matchmakers after drinking a little and were concerned about the marriages of the younger generation.

"The Crown Prince hasn't married yet. How can the younger brothers get ahead if the older brother hasn't married yet?" A minister said, "I think the Crown Prince is in good health now. Why not choose a noble lady to marry him as soon as possible?"

After these words were spoken, there was silence at the table.

Mingnan's eyebrows jumped and he subconsciously looked towards the prince.

Are you trying to find a matchmaker for the prince?

An indescribable emotion suddenly rose in his heart, and the smile on Mingnan's lips faded instantly.

The prince looked at the minister who was speaking and said nothing.

Just as the dancer finished her performance and left, the emperor put down his wine cup and said in a clear voice, "My dear minister, what you said is absolutely right."

He asked the prince, "What do you think, Chen'er?"

Hearing the word "Chen'er", all the concubines and princes present changed their expressions at the same time.

The emperor had never called other princes and princesses so intimately. They thought that the prince was a sickly person who seldom went out. As time went on, the emperor's meager father-son relationship would fade sooner or later. However, they did not expect that as soon as the prince showed up, he would steal the limelight from all of them.

Many people at the banquet looked at the prince with changed eyes, but they also knew that there was nothing they could do. The emperor looked at the prince as if he were the apple of his eye. If anything happened to the prince, none of them would be in good stead.

They couldn't help but secretly rejoice that the prince was a sickly person and would die sooner or later, so they still had a chance.

So they were ready to watch the show and waited for the prince's response.

Xiao Zhe picked up the wine on the table and took a sip. The fruit wine was sweet, but it could not erase the bitterness in his heart.

They are obviously both the emperor's sons, so why is it that the crown prince is the only one favored by the emperor, and even his opinion has to be sought for marriage, while he has been abandoned in the cold palace for more than ten years and ignored?

The fire of jealousy burned so fiercely that he dared not look up, for fear of exposing his red eyes that were filled with jealousy.

There was silence all around, and everyone was waiting.

After a while, the prince raised his eyes and smiled, "Marriage is always decided by parents and matchmakers. I will leave it to the emperor to decide."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "That's different. After you get married, you will live your life as two people. The Crown Princess must be someone you like. Otherwise, you will get tired of each other. How can you live your life like this?"

Many of the people present had their marriages arranged by their parents or matchmakers, and only saw what their other half looked like on the wedding night. After hearing what the emperor said, they felt embarrassed and had mixed feelings.

The emperor really dotes on the prince to no end.

Seeing this, the Queen agreed, "Does the Crown Prince have a favorite candidate? You may as well tell me. If it is suitable, then let His Majesty decide and grant you marriage. It will be a good thing."
