I made my fortune by livestreaming in ancient times.

Xiao Jingchi stared intently at the girl in front of him.

She was dressed simply today, her tall and slightly slender figure graceful and elegant, like a lotus bud.

Her eyes were clear and bright, her lips were red and her teeth were white, her features were delicate and beautiful, as if sculpted from ice and snow. Her skin was well-maintained, smooth and delicate, with a rosy glow. The shimmering light on the lake reflected on her face, creating a mesmerizing and dancing play of light and shadow. Her beauty made all the flowers and plants on the mountain pale in comparison, and her beauty was breathtaking.

Six years is enough time for an innocent little girl to grow into a graceful young woman.

Seeing that the person opposite her did not speak, Zhu Luo bowed gracefully again.

"I have met His Highness."

Her expression remained indifferent as she bowed.

Xiao Jingchi regained his composure and greeted her warmly, "Luo Luo, please get up. I was admiring the scenery when I turned around and saw such a radiant beauty. I was momentarily stunned. Haha, Luo Luo, you won't blame me, will you?"

Zhu Luo's lips twitched.

I thought to myself, nobody does that anymore, bro?

"I am terrified. Before Your Highness's extraordinary demeanor, I dare not be presumptuous. I have offended you by being here. Please enlighten me, Your Highness, where is this place and why have I been brought here?"

If this ambiguous praise were to fall into the ears of someone with ulterior motives, who knows how they would ridicule her.

Xiao Jingchi sighed softly, "Luo Luo is still so distant. It's been six years after all. We've been apart for too long, and it's made us quite estranged."

"Your Highness is too kind. Six years is enough time for a student to become a top scholar in the imperial examinations. My daughter was far away and never thought she would be able to return to the capital one day."

Zhu Luo's lips twitched, with a hint of sarcasm.

As long as he has the same face as Ji Yang, she can't help but make sarcastic remarks.

"It was my oversight; I should have brought Luo Luo back to see me sooner," Xiao Jingchi seemed unbothered by her complaint, and even felt a strange sense of pleasure.

"Luo Luo asked me why I held a banquet here. It's because during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I neglected you because I was busy with official duties. I've always felt guilty about that and wanted to make up for it."

Zhu Luo looked at him in disbelief. How could he come up with such an awkward reason?

Xiao Jingchi showed no embarrassment whatsoever. “Speaking of this place, this is the royal garden newly renovated by Father Emperor. What do you think, Luo Luo? The scenery here is superb, and I am so captivated by it that I wish I could stay here for a long time.”

Zhu Luo was startled. Wasn't he going back to the capital?

She raised her face, forcing a smile. "Your Highness, the scene is indeed breathtaking, but perhaps not all those who wish to admire it have arrived yet."

Xiao Jingchi's eyelids twitched, and he laughed loudly: "Luo Luo is indeed very clever. That's right. Although I really want to catch up with Luo Luo alone, I have indeed invited another guest today."

Zhu Luo felt a sudden pang of panic for no apparent reason.

She suddenly remembered what Nana had mentioned about Ji Yang and his younger brother being together.

Even though she knew her brother couldn't possibly be the Crown Prince's guest, she couldn't help but worry.

"May I ask, Your Highness, who is the guest?"

“They’re people Luo Luo knows,” Xiao Jingchi said with a smile. “You should say, they’re Luo Luo’s relatives.”

Zhu Luo's heart sank immediately.

Voices could be heard coming from not far away, and they were getting closer and closer.

"Why should we? Our Qi family's White Tiger Army has already reached the city gates, and now we're being forced to turn back just to make way for the Northern Expeditionary Army. We defeated Zhang Zhao, and we recaptured several northern prefectures. We won the battle, so why should we give way to others?"

"Yes, yes, the young general is right."

The voices grew closer, and Zhu Luo couldn't help but listen carefully. It seemed to be a young man talking to Yin Wu.

"I'm so angry! My dad says it's for the greater good, but I don't understand what the greater good is. People will judge us for what we've done. Everyone knows how hard our Qi family has been this time. We came all this way just for that sickly kid..."

"Shh, young general, watch your words."

A strong gust of wind swept in, causing the gauze curtains to flutter wildly.

Zhu Luo also saw who it was.

Of course, it wasn't her younger brother, but a young man in military uniform who was about sixteen or seventeen years old.

Yinwu stepped forward and bowed: "Your Highness, General Qi has arrived."

The young man then clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness!"

Xiao Jingchi stood up to greet him: "It's Jun'er. You must be tired from your journey."

The young man quickly accepted the gift: "It's no trouble at all. But Jun'er doesn't know why His Highness the Crown Prince summoned me."

"Haha, don't be nervous. Come, come. I was enjoying the scenery here today when I remembered you were nearby, so I called you over. What's up, Jun'er? Is there anything else?"

The boy twitched the corner of his lips: "Look at what Your Highness is saying. If Your Highness says one word, Jun'er will fly back even if he's at the ends of the earth."

Zhu Luo couldn't help but cough.

The boy was taken aback, then his expression changed: "So Your Highness has other distinguished guests. It was Jun'er who disturbed you."

Xiao Jingchi glanced at Zhu Luo without showing any emotion. Seeing that she was sitting quietly and obediently, without any change in expression, he smiled and said, "What are you saying? Jun'er is also my honored guest. It's better to have more people when enjoying the scenery, especially since you are relatives."

"Relatives? Where are you talking about relatives? Are you from the Qi family?"

"No, Jun'er, come here. Let me introduce you," Xiao Jingchi gestured, pointing to the girl at the table for Qi Jun.

This is Shen Zhuluo, the eldest daughter of the Shen family!

The boy strode forward and stopped in front of the table.

Zhu Luo's heart, which had been in her throat, could finally be put at ease.

He was dressed in light armor, with slanted eyebrows, bright eyes, and a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, revealing an air of untamed spirit.

He was a handsome young general.

He is not her brother.

She was really scared just now; she thought her younger brother had also traveled through time.

She slowly stood up, but before she could speak, the young man sneered, "What kind of relative am I? So you're from the Shen family."

His words were full of disdain.

Zhu Luo glanced at the young man with a half-smile: "My daughter is from the Shen family. May I ask your honorable name, General, and how you come to be related to the Shen family?"

"You!" The boy's eyes widened in disbelief. How could anyone in the world be so disrespectful to him? "What do you mean by claiming kinship!"

Zhu Luo said unhurriedly, "His Highness said he would introduce my daughter to some relatives, but it seems the General does not agree. The Shen family is a prominent family, and it's not something anyone can just claim kinship with. Since it's not, let's make it clear. Don't you agree, General Qi?"

The boy's face flushed red with anger. He pointed at Zhu Luo, his mouth opening and closing, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Xiao Jingchi pulled the boy's hand and pressed him into a seat: "Of course we're relatives. It's my fault for not telling you beforehand. You didn't grow up together, so it's natural that you don't know each other. Jun'er, you shouldn't be so rude in front of a young lady. Come, go and apologize."

The boy jumped up: "You still want to apologize? She just now..."

But upon seeing the Crown Prince's cold gaze, he had no choice but to lower his head, clasp his hands in a fist salute, and mumble, "I'm sorry, Qi Jun greets Miss Shen."

That gift was probably offered to the pillars of the corridor.

"Greetings, General Qi." Zhu Luo nodded readily, accepting the offer.

At that moment, a new idea came to her mind.

It happened to be the weekend, and she was originally worried about what to do for her afternoon live stream, but suddenly the material came to her.
