Qi Binwei was grateful in his heart. With Concubine Youde's words, it was a foregone conclusion that Chaoyan would become his imperial concubine.

"Thank you, mother."

Concubine De looked at him with a smile, "There's no need to thank each other between mother and son."

Song Qinghong was standing aside and trying very hard not to listen to their conversation, but people were standing there, how could she not hear it?

I can only suppress the sadness in my heart and look at the tree full of brilliantly blooming cherry blossoms.

Shen Jiayu could see that Song Qinghong was unhappy, and she felt uncomfortable too. After being a maid for a long time, she had become quite perceptive.

She secretly picked a branch and handed it to Song Qinghong, whispering, "Miss, don't be sad. Cherry blossoms only bloom once a year. You should enjoy this rare beauty and not let it go to waste."

Song Qinghong sighed softly from her nose, "Yes, cherry blossoms only bloom once a year, I shouldn't miss such a beautiful view."

Forget about the things that don't belong to you.

Song Qinghong secretly told herself to forget her feelings for Qi Binwei.

Fuqiu, who was beside Concubine De, saw that the time was almost up, and stepped forward to remind her softly, "Your Majesty, the time has come, it's time to return to the palace."

Concubine De looked at Chao Yan a few more times, opened her lips slightly and wanted to say something, but in the end she kept her words to herself and only said one sentence.

"The time has come. I have to leave. Since you two love each other, live your life well."

Qi Binwei put his hands behind his back and said, "Yes, I will do it. Mother, don't worry."

Concubine De turned around and glanced at Song Qinghong who was standing silently on the side. She let out a long sigh and knew in her heart that the two of them had no chance.

In Song Qinghong's eyes, Qi Binwei's reflection became increasingly faint, and now she was unwilling to look back at Qi Binwei.

She murmured, "Forget it. We are not destined to be together. I'd better forget about forcing others to do something that is difficult for me."

Fuqiu led the way and informed everyone present that Concubine De was returning to the palace.

Everyone looked in the direction of Concubine De, bowed and saw her off. They stood up only after she walked out of the door.

Chaoyan couldn't hold back her temper. She had wanted to chat with Shen Jiayu for a long time but had never found the chance. Now that Concubine De had left, she immediately walked up to talk to Shen Jiayu.

"Hello, Miss Song. It turns out that Jiayu is from your family. Can I have a few words with her?"

At the banquet, Chao Yan noticed that the person the third prince was talking about was Song Qinghong. She immediately saw Shen Jiayu standing next to Song Qinghong, and silently memorized Song Qinghong's appearance and name in her heart.

Song Qinghong had no objection and said to Shen Jiayu, "Go ahead."

Anyway, Shen Jiayu left, but Luqi was still by her side.

After Chaoyan heard what Song Qinghong said, she immediately took Shen Jiayu's hand and walked aside.

After taking only two steps, Shen Jiayu felt a sharp gaze directed at her from behind.

I immediately got goosebumps all over my body.

"Hmm~" He couldn't help but shiver and let out a muffled groan.

"What's wrong? Are you cold?" Chaoyan was very concerned about her little sister. She stopped immediately and looked Shen Jiayu up and down.

Thinking that Shen Jiayu must be cold, she was about to take off her outer robe. Fortunately, Shen Jiayu saw her intention and immediately reached out to stop her.

"I'm not cold, I'm fine, I just felt itchy all of a sudden."

Shen Jiayu held his forehead and smiled bitterly.

It was a close call, Asagao almost succeeded in taking off my clothes.

Chao Yan put her clothes back in order and said, "Qi Binwei promised me before that he would let me go out to learn calligraphy, but I was in danger that day and someone wanted to kill me. Qi Binwei's people saved me, and when he knew about it, he didn't let me go out anymore and asked someone to invite the teacher over.

I often think of you. I'm not in the academy, so you must not have listened carefully in class. But I always take notes in class. Fortunately, we have the same class. I will go to my room and bring my notes to you. You must study hard. "

She said a lot of words with great earnestness.

Shen Jiayu never expected that this would be the case, and what she didn't expect was that Chao Yan would still think of preparing a note for her.

The previous Shen Jiayu might have wanted to kill himself, but now Shen Jiayu wanted to hug Chao Yan and kiss her several times.

She really needed Chao Yan's notes. Only the rookie's notes could she understand now. What the teacher said was too difficult to understand.

"Thank you, Concubine. I am very grateful. I will go with you to get it. When the banquet is over, I will go home with the young lady."

Zhao Yan nodded and walked out with Shen Jiayu. Before leaving, she did not forget to say to Qi Binwei, "I'll take her to get some things."

Qi Binwei smiled at her and said, "Go early and come back early."

Then when he withdrew his gaze, he glanced at the maid who always followed Chao Yan.

The maid looked back, quickly lowered her eyelids, and followed Chao Yan and Shen Jiayu without saying a word.

Qi Binwei took a few steps forward and came to Song Qinghong's side.

"Qing'er, thank you so much this time."

"Why thank me? I didn't help much. It was just a coincidence that Chao Yan suddenly showed up. Your Majesty likes her very much. You should rest assured."

"No matter what, you still came and helped me speak a few words, but I always regarded you as my sister."

"Your Highness, there is no need to explain. I understand it now and will not have any other thoughts in the future."

"Ah."

The conversation between the two ended here.

Song Qinghong turned and left. Not wanting to stay in the same place with Qi Binwei, she found a place with few people and stood there to admire the flowers in silence.

After she left, Qi Binwei was soon surrounded by people.

Song Qinghong never looked back again, she just felt that the cherry blossom in her hand was delicate and charming, even more beautiful than when she had just picked it.

"Miss Song."

She had no idea someone was approaching from behind her, so she was startled when the other person spoke.

"Huh?" She turned back in surprise. The voice sounded familiar yet unfamiliar.

Looking back, I saw a familiar face, it was Wen Xiangzhu.

"Mr. Ye, why are you here?" Song Qinghong asked curiously. As far as she could remember, Wen Xiangzhu had no friendship with Qi Binwei.

Moreover, the people who came to select a concubine for Qi Binwei this time were all princes and sons of prominent families. If they were Qi Binwei's staff, they should not show up at this time.

"I met the Third Prince accidentally a few days ago. He brought me with him to the banquet this time. I didn't expect it to be the Fifth Prince's concubine selection banquet. What are you doing here alone, Miss Song? If you feel bored, you can go over there and take a look."

Wen Xiangzhu explained a few words, then raised his chin slightly and looked somewhere.

Song Qinghong followed his gaze and saw that it was very lively over there. The sisters of the Lin family both fell in love with the young master of the Zhou family. The two were secretly competing with each other, but both wanted to leave a good impression in front of Young Master Zhou.

Master Zhou saw through their thoughts and retreated without any hesitation.
