The prince kneels every day. Has the princess forgiven him today?

Half an hour later.

Song Xiwan took Xie Chengqian to the front yard to eat, and the blush on her face had not completely disappeared.

She covered her still slightly hot cheeks with her palms, and glared at the calm and upright person next to her, feeling annoyed.

Why is there no trace of Xie Chengqian at all?

Song Xiwan snorted lightly, "Stay away from me in the future!"

Xie Chengqian immediately took a step closer to her, naturally took her hand, and refused, "No."

Song Xiwan's eyes widened!

Listening to her self-righteous tone, someone who didn't know her would think she was making some excessive demands.

Song Xiwan wanted to argue a little longer, but she had already walked into the hall and her father and mother were already sitting at the table with food set.

Xu waved her hand and said, "Come and sit down."

"coming."

Song Xiwan had no choice but to put this account in her heart for the time being. She quickly walked to sit next to A Niang without even glancing at Xie Chengqian.

She had to make him reflect on himself!

Xie Chengqian's lips curled slightly, his eyes fell on Song Junling who was sitting on the other side of Xi Wan. He said nothing, but his body did not move.

Those eyes, which were always cold and solemn, almost said: I want to sit here.

Song Junling: "..."

He looked around and found that the only remaining seat was near the third princess, which he had deliberately avoided.

Song Junling's eyes darkened slightly as he stared at the Third Princess, who had her head lowered and was quite quiet. A trace of pity grew in his heart.

It was right to arrange for the third princess to stay with Prince Xuan when she was visiting for the first time, but Prince Xuan was not a considerate person, which would only make the third princess more restrained.

That's it.

Song Junling stood up and said seriously, "Dad, I haven't had a good drink with you in a long time. Today is the Little New Year, so we won't go home until we are drunk."

Song Wenyi was confused.

Is it him again?

Song Wenyi didn't even have the chance to refuse. He watched his son walk over from the opposite side, sit down next to him, and pour him a glass of wine.

Xie Qingyuan was slightly startled when Song Junling opened his mouth, and when she smelled the usual elegant sandalwood fragrance on him, her heart tightened slightly.

But he soon calmed down. Song Junling probably did this for his fifth brother and Miss Song.

He has always been kind.

Xie Chengqian sat down next to Song Xiwan naturally, his brows relaxed.

Song Xiwan: “…”

How shameless!

Song Wenyi and Xu exchanged glances. How could they not understand the prince's little thoughts, but no one spoke up to expose him.

Anyway, Xi Wan has expressed her feelings, and the two of them will eventually get together, and nothing can stop them.

Besides, today is the Little New Year, so being happy is the most important thing.

Xu narrowed her eyes and smiled, "It's rare to see such a lively atmosphere today. The prince and the third princess have honored me by treating this place as your own home. You're welcome."

"it is good."

Xie Chengqian actually agreed.

Xu was still surprised by his easygoing nature, but then she felt that this showed that the prince really cared about Xi Wan and even put aside the issues of social status.

But that’s not all. The prince also served food to Xiwan, accurately picking out the dishes that Xiwan liked.

Help pick out the fish bones!

Just serve the soup, why are you helping me cool it down?

Song Xiwan tried hard to remain calm. No matter how many dissuading looks she gave Xie Chengqian, it was useless. She could only pretend to be normal.

She picked up another dish and refused to eat his, protesting silently.

Unexpectedly, Xie Chengqian immediately opened it and said, "Your last injury hasn't fully healed yet. Doctor Xu said you need to abstain from food for a while. This is too greasy."

Song Xiwan looked at him coldly, her displeasure about to burst out, and said bluntly: "Your Highness, just take care of yourself, there is no need to take care of me like this."

The atmosphere suddenly became a little colder.

Song Wenyi and Xu were worried, fearing that Xi Wan's harsh words would annoy the prince.

This is King Xuan!

Unexpectedly, Prince Xuan was not angry at all. Instead, he softened his attitude and coaxed her, "Can I ask the imperial chef to cook for you in the future?"

Song Xiwan twitched the corner of his mouth. Is this a problem with the royal chef?

Xie Chengqian added, "I remember there's a royal chef in the palace who comes from Yangzhou. He's the best at making this dish and he'll definitely satisfy you."

Xie Qingyuan rarely interrupted, "Yes, that's the royal chef that the Queen Mother personally hired. I've heard that his cooking skills are unmatched in the world. I've tasted a meal he made once, and it was truly a delicacy."

Song Xiwan couldn't help but feel moved.

She asked curiously, "Is it really that delicious?"

"of course."

Xie Qingyuan became interested, and her eyes lit up when she talked about the imperial chef. She described in detail the delicacies she had eaten before, which whetted her appetite.

Song Xiwan's attention was immediately drawn to her, and she didn't even notice when the piece of meat in her bowl was taken away, nor did she bother to argue with Xie Chengqian.

It’s gone, so it’s gone. I can eat what the imperial chef cooks in the future.

With this topic started, the atmosphere of the whole dinner was quite good.

Song Xiwan couldn't resist Xie Chengqian's care, so she simply gave up struggling and ate and drank peacefully under the frequently surprised gazes of her father and mother.

In the end, Song Wenyi and Xu became numb.

The prince really dotes on Xi Wan a little bit.

This could be considered a good thing, but Jun Ling seemed to be preoccupied with his dinner, and there was a strange atmosphere between him and the third princess.

Were they having an unpleasant quarrel?

After dinner, the night fell and the Song family did not keep the prince and the third princess for long.

Song Xiwan had a rare opportunity to escape, and when she wanted to go back to the yard, she was stopped by her father and mother. She was very worried, thinking that her father and mother were going to ask her about her and the prince.

Unexpectedly, A'niang asked in a deep voice: "Do you feel that your eldest brother has been acting strangely lately?"

Song Xiwan was stunned. He looked up and saw his elder brother walking away, with a cold and lonely air.

This has never happened before.

She didn't know how to answer, so she just glossed over it, "Maybe Big Brother is a little tired lately? He just took office, so he has a lot to do."

"He's just an idle official, what can he be busy with?"

Song Wenyi didn't believe it at all. His eyes were even more serious as he asked his speculation, "Is it related to the Third Princess? The two of them..."

At the end of the question, I was still choked up and didn't know where to start.

Song Xiwan knew that his father and mother were very smart and they might have noticed the clues a long time ago, but they just didn't ask them in detail for so long.

This is probably because I am too worried about my elder brother.

She pondered for a moment before persuading him, "This is Big Brother's business. He has always been a man of integrity and understanding. He will definitely handle these matters."

Anyway, there's no point in being anxious.

Xu finally got a positive answer and sighed softly, "Not necessarily. I've never seen him so frustrated, and he's even less talkative."

Song Wenyi disagreed, "If he continues to be the same as before, how can he achieve great things?"

Xu suddenly became annoyed. "But I just want my child to be safe and happy in this life. I don't have to pursue any big things!"

There was a hint of tension in the words between the two.

It was also the first time that Song Xiwan saw her parents quarreling. She stood there in a daze, not knowing how to respond.
