After the tragic death of the daughter of the emperor, she returned to her former marriage and refus

An extremely uncomfortable feeling came over her.

She bit her teeth lightly and glanced over again pretending to be casual, and saw Xu Jinghuai smiling at Princess Fengling.

The two seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation.

Yan Yunshu lowered her brows, picked up a piece of cake, and looked at Yan Yunyi sideways.

Yan Yunyi didn't know why his sister looked at him so many more times today, so he hurriedly came forward happily.

"Sister, are you going to get a few more jugs of wine for your brother?"

Yan Yunshu rolled her eyes at him helplessly, "Brother, did you bring a wine jug bigger than your belly?"

Yan Yunyi touched the wine jug at his waist.

He smiled and said, "Not really, but it looks like it could hold another small pot."

Yan Yunshu sighed and glanced at Xu Jinghuai again.

At this time, Princess Fengling was still there. She was shaking Xu Jinghuai's arm, as if begging for something. Xu Jinghuai looked very helpless.

It was indeed a normal way for cousins to get along. Yan Yunshu also knew that she was the same age as herself, only eleven or twelve years old. At such an age, they didn't understand much.

This behavior is just what I feel in my heart and there is no other intention.

Just seeing her, Yan Yunshu couldn't help but be haunted by the shadow of her previous life.

The Fengling that contains Yan Shuyao.

She always worried that she would suddenly see Feng Ling in front of her giving her the same cold smile.

Therefore, she still couldn't let go of her previous impression of Princess Fengling.

What's more, she is now on the list of crown princesses that is widely circulated among the people, which makes her feel even more uncomfortable.

Feeling upset, Princess Fengling had already stood up and returned to her seat.

Xu Jinghuai looked at him, his eyes and brows filled with a smile that came from the heart.

She smiled back at him, and then, in front of Xu Jinghuai, she grabbed the hem of the clothes of her eldest cousin Wen Tingfeng, who happened to be passing by her.

"Cousin, can you give your wine to Shu'er?"

Wen Tingfeng was stunned and looked at the wine jug in his left hand and the wine glass in his right hand.

He handed the wine jug to Yan Yunshu.

Yan Yunshu's eyebrows lit up with joy. She shook her cousin's arm again and said sweetly, "Thank you, cousin!"

Cousin Wen Tingfeng was stunned. His cousin seldom acted like a spoiled child in front of him, let alone spoke to him in such a sweet way. But now, at this Beginning of Winter banquet, she was so close to him that he couldn't help but burst into tears.

I have a younger sister, and she has finally grown up!

When he was extremely relieved, he saw Yan Yunshu quickly glance at Xu Jinghuai. Wen Tingfeng thought he had seen it wrong, and when he looked at Yan Yunshu again, she had already smiled and sent the guest away.

"My eldest cousin must be very busy. Yun Shu won't disturb you. Please continue."

Wen Tingfeng looked at his empty left hand and could only smile helplessly. He rubbed her head like he did when he was a child, and then went to find the palace maid in the hall to get a pot of new wine.

Then, Yan Yunshu handed the wine jug she had asked for from Wen Tingfeng to Yan Yunyi beside her.

Yan Yunyi held the wine jug as if it were a treasure.

Crying with joy.

The younger sister personally asked for wine for her brother. She is so nice to her brother!

Yan Yunshu couldn't understand her brother's so-called intentions at all. She kept asking for it bit by bit. Could it be that she wanted to tell Wei Ruopu in detail how much thought she put into this intention and deliberately make him feel distressed?

Alas, this twisted love!

But the love between her and Xu Jinghuai is also twisted.

As she sighed with emotion, she looked at Xu Jinghuai again. Sure enough, she saw Xu Jinghuai, who was full of anger, with a frown on his face and a cold air all over his body. He was staring at her hands.

Yan Yunshu snorted coldly and pretended not to care much, but Xu Jinghuai was so smart that he quickly understood what was going on from Yan Yunshu's awkward expression. He glanced at his arm that had just been pulled by Princess Fengling.

It finally dawned on me.

Only then did he realize that Yan Yunshu's actions just now were actually telling him something implicitly.

He would get jealous if she got closer to her cousin, but he didn't keep his distance from his cousin Princess Fengling, who was still on the legendary list of Crown Princesses. He let her pull him around like a child.

The coldness on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of helplessness.

Seeing this, Yan Yunshu couldn't bear to embarrass him any further. She just smiled at him and stretched out her hand to make a gesture.

It means that I forgive you this time, but if there is a next time, it won’t be so easy.

No one can be perfect, and there will always be awkwardness in love. But if you insist on being trapped in this awkwardness, and swear that the other person will be humble in every way and prove your love at all costs, then love will become a torment.

She didn't want to torment either her or him.

The best way to love is to end it tacitly, give him a way out at the right time, and let go of the grudges in your heart.

This is what her grandmother taught her in the past few days, and it was also what she learned from her interactions with Xu Jinghuai in her previous life.

Seeing that Yan Yunshu seemed to truly understand him, Xu Jinghuai breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart, which had been in a knot, finally settled down. He also saw that the banquet had reached its climax, and people had gathered in groups of three or two. He was just looking for an opportunity to come over and talk to Yan Yunshu.

A group of court officials, led by his uncle, the Duke of Qi, actually surrounded him and trapped him in the middle.

"Your Highness, I heard that Your Highness is about to go to war. I, your uncle, must give you some serious advice..."

"Your Highness, what are your thoughts on the selection of the Crown Princess?"

"His Royal Highness..."

His Royal Highness, Crown Prince Xu Jinghuai, had initially become interested upon hearing the word "examination," but upon hearing about the selection of the Crown Princess, his expression instantly grew serious. He straightened his body, looked at everyone, and said with an extremely cold expression, "I have already decided on the selection of my Crown Princess. You do not need to worry about it, and you should not make random guesses."

"His Royal Highness..."

……

The winter wind is biting.

There was a whistling sound of wind coming from outside the hall.

Yan Yunyi was dumbfounded when he took the wine jug that Yan Yunshu had asked for just now. It turned out that there was only a little wine left in Wen Tingfeng's wine jug, which was certainly not enough. When he was thinking about where to get some more, Nannan King Xu Yichen came to him and his sister.

He took the initiative to hand the wine jug in his hand to Yan Yunyi.

"Brother Yi."

When Yan Yunyi saw that it was Xu Yichen, he was extremely happy.

He quickly took the wine jug and gave Xu Yichen a thumbs up.

Then Xu Yichen sat in front of the two of them and spoke to Yan Yunshu.

“Sometimes fate is like this. No matter how twists and turns it takes, it will always return to where it came from.”

"What does your Highness mean?"

Yan Yunshu raised her eyes to look at Xu Yichen. Xu Yichen frowned slightly and glanced at Xu Jinghuai.

"You see, in order to avoid exposing you as his weak spot and for your safety, just like back then, he didn't dare reveal his true feelings for you in public."

As he spoke, Xu Yichen picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then looked at Yan Yunshu meaningfully.

Yan Yunshu gasped and looked at Xu Yichen in disbelief.

"you……"

"Just as Shu'er thought, this prince has also followed."
