After escaping with her bestie, she became the white moonlight of the crazy prince

Seeing Xie Ming looking at him, Shen Chu almost immediately lowered his head again.

But it's too late.

With just one glance, Xie Ming could determine who was sitting next to Xie Yun.

Shen Chu.

Shen Chu who was supposed to be in the East Palace.

Now I am next to Xie Yun.

The wine glass held between his fingertips began to crack. Xie Ming slowly put it down, and there was more hostility in his eyes when he looked at Xie Yun.

Why is Chu'er by his side?

Is it a coincidence, or have the two of them...been in relationship for a long time?

Xie Ming controlled his wandering thoughts and didn't want to put random accusations on Shen Chu.

But seeing Shen Chu and Xie Yun sitting so close to each other, he couldn't completely ignore them.

He could only grit his teeth and force himself to look away from Shen Chu.

Shang Heng, who was sitting next to him, also noticed something was wrong.

His face turned ugly, and he restrained himself several times when he wanted to stand up and snatch the person away from Xie Yun.

There are so many outsiders here, and the Queen Mother is also present. He absolutely cannot act so rashly. If Fuling's identity is exposed, he will not be able to make up for it even if he wants to.

How can he plug so many mouths?

The only ones who can truly keep secrets are the dead.

Thinking of this, Shang Heng clenched his fists, wishing the banquet would end immediately.

Jiang Fuling, who was absorbed in peeling shrimps, had no idea that her clumsy disguise had already been seen through. She was still immersed in the joy that the chef in the imperial kitchen was indeed very skilled.

"What's your name?"

Shen Chu leaned her head against the wall, and suddenly a voice came from beside her, asking her name.

The person who asked her this question was Xie Yun. He was a little bored and wanted to chat with the people around him.

Shen Chu was extremely displeased with this move.

"My daughter's name is Peony."

So Shen Chu made up a name to fool Xie Yun.

Shen Chu thought the other party would give up, but he heard Xie Yun speak again, "Mudan, what kind of person do you think of me?"

Hearing Xie Yun ask her this question, Shen Chu thought about it seriously for a while, and then said, "Your Highness the King must be a free and unrestrained person, and such people are often casual and usually very happy."

As she spoke, she raised her head and glanced at Xie Yun, and saw her current appearance in his eyes.

Some of it was so funny that even she wanted to laugh.

Xie Yun is a patient man, he doesn't even laugh.

Thinking of this, Shen Chu withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the fruit plate in front of her. He grabbed a date and started to eat it.

Originally, Xie Yun just asked casually, wanting to hear what this person thought of him, but when he heard Shen Chu's answer, he couldn't help but smile, retracted his gaze, and looked towards a figure not far away.

He murmured softly, "Happy?"

He just pretends to be good.

Xie Ming, who had been paying close attention to Xie Yun's actions all the time, watched Xie Yun and Shen Chu having a pleasant conversation, his face turning as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"Brother Crown Prince, Yanran has been away for a long time. I wonder if you miss her?"

A clear voice suddenly came from the side. Xie Min looked up and saw Meng Yanran standing beside him.

There was also a maid standing next to Meng Yanran, holding a bottle of wine, and her purpose was obvious.

"It's been a while since we last met, I must have missed you. Welcome back to the capital today, Yanran. I've prepared some gifts and will send them to Sister Yanran's home later."

After hesitating, Xie Ming stood up and spoke in a huff, not knowing whose attention he was trying to attract.

Shen Chu, who was originally thinking about whether to eat chicken feet or prawns, decided to choose pig's trotters after hearing this.

Men are really pigs.

The day before he was calling Chu'er "You are so good", the next day he started calling her "Sister Yanran".

Sweet words are not trustworthy after all.

However, the pig's trotter was not easy to chew, so Shen Chu could only use chopsticks to pick up the meat from the trotter and put it into his mouth.

This scene entered Xie Ming's eyes and became the proof that Shen Chu didn't care about him at all.

Success made Xie Ming's already unhappy mood even worse.

He took the wine handed to him by Meng Yanran and drank it all in one gulp.

"Then Yanran would like to thank the prince brother."

Meng Yanran showed a reserved smile on her face. She did not refuse Xie Ming's gift, but accepted it generously.

As she spoke, she walked towards Shang Heng and poured him a glass of wine.

Shang Heng didn't say any nice words, but just congratulated Meng Yanran on returning to Beijing today, and said that he had also prepared a gift for her today, which should have been delivered to the Meng family.

His attitude was frank and not shy. Even though Jiang Fuling was right in front of him, he did not do anything to deliberately disgust her. His behavior was frank.

This made Shen Chu laugh.

The contrast is too stark.

If there wasn't someone between her and Fuling, she would definitely complain to Fuling.

It’s a pity that Xie Yun’s existence doesn’t allow her to do so.

"You know what? At that time, Prince Brother and Sister Yanran were the best among our group. Everyone said they would definitely be together, even Father thought so."

Xie Yun's low voice came from the side. Shen Chu stopped moving his chopsticks and looked at Xie Yun with doubt in his eyes. "Your Highness, you seem to care about Miss Meng a lot."

After a pause, Shen Chu continued, "If His Royal Highness the Virtuous Prince is interested in Miss Meng, why not just tell her directly?"

These words left Xie Yun speechless. After a long while, he finally spoke, "Who said I like her?"

The words were spoken softly, and no one except Shen Chu could hear them.

"Then... could it be that the virtuous king doesn't support the Crown Prince and Miss Meng being together?"

These words were too likely to attract attention, so Shen Chu could only move closer to Xie Yun and say them. The distance between them, which was already very close, became even closer, and Xie Yun could even clearly see the big black mole that was about to peel off.

Too defenseless.

He whispered in his heart.

Xie Yun took the initiative to increase the distance between the two of them, and said in a voice that was neither too light nor too heavy, "This king feels that you may not support it."

what?

how come?

"I wholeheartedly support this. You, my lord, must have misunderstood something."

Picking up a piece of pig's trotter and putting it into his mouth, Shen Chu's voice did not sound fake at all, not to mention how sincere it was.

Anyway, she won't die if her strategy fails, so it's fine for her to stay in the Shangshu Mansion as a little waste. Her brother is so promising, he is more than capable of supporting her.

Xie Yun was not a greedy person and his appetite had always been poor. Seeing Shen Chu eating so happily, he suddenly asked, "How does it taste?"

Hearing such a question suddenly, Shen Chu was stunned for a moment, then said, "It's delicious. Your Highness can try it."

"is it?"

Shen Chu didn't doubt it and nodded, "Yes."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Chu watched Xie Yun raise his hand, pick up the chopsticks, and reach towards the pig's trotter that she had put in the bowl.

Before she could move the bowl away, Xie Yun had already picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth.

Soon, she received Xie Yun's evaluation, "It's really good."

At this moment, the sound of ceramic breaking came from the opposite side. Shen Chu felt a sinister and angry gaze fixed on her, making her hands and feet feel cold.
