As soon as she sat down, Luo Xiyao couldn't wait to start introducing herself.

She said to Shen Qionghua, "This is Fu Chen's former classmate and friend, Huo Jing, the son of the Dali Temple Minister."

Turning to Huo Jing, he said, "This is Shen Qionghua, the current head of the Shen family. She's my best friend. What do you think of her? Isn't she stunningly beautiful and elegant?"

Huo Jing did not answer Luo Xiyao's words, but nodded at Shen Qionghua.

Shen Qionghua smiled back, but couldn't help but touch her thumb with her index finger under her sleeve.

Thinking about what Luo Xiyao said to her when she entered the room, even if Shen Qionghua was stupid, she would know what Luo Xiyao wanted to do.

Fortunately, Luo Xiyao knew her limits and did not say anything inappropriate. Instead, she took Shen Qionghua aside to chat and taste snacks.

Fu Chen and Huo Jing were reminiscing about the past.

After a long time, Luo Xiyao stood up and said, "It's too boring to sit here like this. Let's go out for a walk."

Everyone stood up and walked out, and the maid beside Luo Xiyao paid the money.

Shen Qionghua originally wanted to tell Luo Xiyao that this was her restaurant and she could just record the bill directly, but when she turned around and saw Huo Jing there, she finally shut up.

Luo Xiyao and Shen Qionghua put on veils and walked side by side, with Fu Chen and Huo Jing following behind them.

As the weather gets colder, there are not many people on the streets, most of whom are ordinary people running small businesses.

Luo Xiyao pulled Shen Qionghua along, walking faster and faster. When they were a distance away from the two people behind them, Luo Xiyao leaned close to Shen Qionghua's ear and whispered, "Qionghua, how are you?"

Shen Qionghua played dumb, "What's going on?"

"Don't play dumb with me." Luo Xiyao said angrily, "I found her according to your requirements. She has a good temper and a simple mind. She doesn't have many tricks. She's gentle and elegant, and she looks okay."

"Moreover, Fu Chen told me that he is extremely talented and will definitely achieve great things in the future. Of course, the most important thing is that his family has a clean and upright tradition. The Dali Temple Minister only has this one son, and there are no messy illegitimate children."

Luo Xiyao said this, his eyes full of pride.

It took her a lot of effort to find such a suitable candidate.

This story began before the royal hunting trip. One day, she went to Fu's house to chat with Fu Chen's mother. When she left, she happened to see Fu Chen talking to a man in the garden.

At first glance, she thought, isn't this exactly the type that Qionghua described?

She was a little cautious and secretly asked Fu Chen about Huo Jing's situation.

After asking so many questions, Fu Chen thought she was interested in Huo Jing. When she asked him about Huo Jing's situation again, he refused to tell her.

He even forced himself to ask himself whether he wanted to abandon her.

She had no choice but to tell Fu Chen her thoughts, and then Fu Chen enthusiastically told her everything he knew.

The more she listened, the more she felt that Huo Jing was a good person. She had wanted to let Qionghua meet him for a long time, but had put it on hold because of the hunting.

Who would have thought that such a thing would happen during the hunting, which almost cost Qionghua her life.

She estimated that Qionghua was almost recovered, so she asked him to come out.

Shen Qionghua felt a little helpless.

How could she not know that Princess Pingning also had a hobby of matchmaking and preserving women?

If that man is really as good as Luo Xiyao said, with noble character and a wealthy family, then his family should attach great importance to his marriage. How could it be her turn?

Even though Shen Qionghua did not think that he was inferior to others in any way, he always knew in his heart that there was an insurmountable gap between merchants and officials.

Shen Qionghua smiled bitterly.

"Xiyao——"

"Don't worry." Luo Xiyao interrupted Shen Qionghua, "If you really like me, I will ask my father to adopt you as his daughter. That way, you won't be wronged when you marry him."

Shen Qionghua's pupils shocked and her eyes widened suddenly. She had an indescribable feeling in her heart. She didn't expect Luo Xiyao to do this for her.

Seeing Shen Qionghua's expression, Luo Xiyao said with a smile, "Why, are you scared?"

Shen Qionghua nodded, and Luo Xiyao said complacently, "What's the big deal? You saved the old man's only daughter. Shouldn't he express his gratitude?"

"Thank you." Although Shen Qionghua has not thought about getting married now, she is still very grateful to Luo Xiyao for thinking about her.

Luo Xiyao smiled.

Gradually, Luo Xiyao's pace became slower and slower. She walked to Fu Chen, pulled his sleeve, slowed down her pace, and watched Shen Qionghua and Huo Jing walking side by side. The two talked at a distance of one person, and Luo Xiyao's mouth curled up into a big smile.

Just as Luo Xiyao was feeling complacent about her actions, three people came towards her.

Who else could the man in the black robe walking in front with an expressionless face and sharp eyes be but Xie Nanyuan?

Shen Qionghua was walking forward while talking with her head tilted to the side when her way was suddenly blocked by a tall figure. She raised her head and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Your Highness Prince Rui?" He looked at Pei Liangchuan, who was covered in gold jewelry, and said, "Divine Doctor Pei."

Huo Jing was also startled, and he placed his hands on his chest and saluted.

"Huo Jing greets His Royal Highness Prince Rui."

After he finished speaking, there was no response from Prince Rui. Huo Jing raised his head and saw Xie Nanyuan's deep, dark eyes staring at him, as if he had stolen something he loved.

Huo Jing: “…”

The air was stagnant for a moment, and only Pei Liangchuan was waving the golden folding fan in his hand with a smile on his face, as if he was enjoying the show.

This is really interesting, much more interesting than the scenes described in the play excerpts.

Shen Qionghua was the first to speak up, breaking the strange atmosphere. "Where is Doctor Pei going?"

Pei Liangchuan did not hide his gloating at all, "I was going to buy some cakes, and it just so happened that Prince Rui was on the same way."

"It's a rare opportunity for me to go out, but I didn't expect to run into Miss Shen by chance. Hey, why haven't I seen this brother before? What's your relationship with Miss Shen?"

"Just now I accidentally glanced over here and thought I was seeing things, but you two are truly a feast for the eyes, a perfect match. Oh my god... hehe!"

The remaining four words were not spoken, but everyone present knew what he meant.

Lin Ze, who was standing behind Xie Nanyuan, silently wiped the sweat from his forehead, his heart in his throat, and secretly gave Pei Liangchuan a thumbs up in his heart.

Doctor Pei is really bold!

Didn’t he see how dark the prince’s face was?

He could feel the coldness emanating from his body even though he was three steps away, but Doctor Pei was still cheerful.

I really don't know whether to say he is brave or stupid.

Shen Qionghua was stunned when she heard Pei Liangchuan's words, and realized that the other party had misunderstood.

It doesn't matter to her, but it would be bad if it ruined the reputation of the young master.

She tilted her head slightly and saw Huo Jing looking embarrassed, with slightly red ears and an expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Pei——" Shen Qionghua was about to explain when she was pushed by Luo Xiyao behind her. Without giving Shen Qionghua a chance to explain, she said quickly with her rosy little mouth: "Qionghua, you and Huo Jing go first. I have something to talk to my cousin about. I'll come to you later."

Having said that, he hurriedly urged Shen Qionghua and Huo Jing to leave quickly.

If I say it's okay in person, it will be so awkward when we meet in the future. What if these two people end up together in the future?

It can only be said that Luo Xiyao is also worried about Shen Qionghua's lifelong affairs.

Shen Qionghua thought that Luo Xiyao must have something to say to King Rui, and it was not convenient for her to be there, so she turned around and left without hesitation.

Huo Jing, who was standing by, glanced at Luo Xiyao and quickly followed.

Fu Chen hesitated for a moment and was about to follow when Luo Xiyao grabbed his sleeve.

Luo Xiyao said with a fierce face: "Why are you rushing to join in the fun!"

No tact at all!

Fu Chen's foot movement paused, and he dropped his foot back to its original place and stood still obediently.

Luo Xiyao showed a look of satisfaction, then raised a smile at the corner of her lips. She was about to show off her good deeds to Xie Nanyuan, but when she turned around, she was met with a dark face that looked like it was about to storm.

Luo Xiyao: “…”

What happened to my cousin?

Who pissed him off again?
