Nana raised both hands in agreement: "Luo Luo is so kind. A lot of people want to see the second male lead, and I even considered turning it down, but then I thought, we can't let Ji Yang delay our business, right?"

Zhu Luo said, "That's why I invited them over, and I'm including one as a bonus."

"Don't worry, fans have diverse tastes. Some people like the arrogant younger brother. To be honest, I'm a fan of his looks. Also, did you give the second male lead the reward?"

Zhu Luo laughed and said, "That's exactly what I was going to give you."

On a weekend afternoon, a live broadcast, both planned and somewhat unexpected, began.

[I came as soon as I saw the notification. Wasn't it supposed to be a live stream tonight?]

[This place is so beautiful, is it on a film set?]

Nana explained: "Lolo is only free in the afternoon, so please enjoy it while it lasts."

[So who's coming to the show today? I think I see a hint of the second male lead.]

Nana said, "That's right. Today, Luo Luo has invited the second male lead, Xiao Jingchi, and a newcomer, Qi Jun, the youngest son of General Qi. The short drama today will be performed by the three of them."

[Qi Jun? Is he the child of that mistress's brother?]

[He's also the future brother-in-law of the Fifth Prince, Prince Xuan.]

[I saw it! I saw it! He's a handsome young man! I'm so envious of Luo Luo, where did she get this from online!]

The mirror danced in front of the prince and the young general, and the number of viewers in the live stream increased exponentially.

It's a shame the male lead isn't here; I was really looking forward to seeing the two of them act together!

Zhu Luo's heart skipped a beat.

The male protagonist had already tossed her into someone else's car like trash, and she was probably at the city gates of the capital, receiving the highest honors for welcoming the army.

Today is absolutely not the day I will appear on camera again.

The maid filled the three people's cups with wine.

Crown Prince Xiao Jingchi raised his wine cup: "On such a fine day, with the young general and Luo Luo by my side, I am very pleased. Come, let me toast you both to welcome you."

The live stream screen displayed the message "[Together with Lolo]".

The live chat was filled with comments like: "[Enjoy delicacies from around the world!]"

The mirror, which had been reflecting the distant scenery, now stopped in the very center of the pavilion.

Zhu Luo took a small sip, barely touching the wine: "Thank you, Your Highness. I am deeply humbled by your unsolicited invitation today. I prepared a small gift, but I was worried that it might not be of enough interest to Your Highness..."

Qi Jun downed the wine in one gulp and let out a cold sneer.

Although it was very soft, Lolo still heard it.

"Oh?" Xiao Jingchi narrowed his eyes, appearing quite interested. "I'll like whatever Luo Luo gives me. I wonder if I can keep it with me?"

"Bring it."

She waved to the outside, and Banxia handed the bundle to the maid. The maid then stepped into the pavilion without immediately handing it to Zhu Luo.

Xiao Jingchi nodded: "Luo Luo is not an outsider."

The maid then handed the package over.

The crown prince is certainly much more cautious than other members of the royal family.

Zhu Luo pulled a folding umbrella out of her "treasure bag".

The gift for Xiao Jingchi should not appear too sincere, but should perfectly reflect the value of the reward. In the end, after careful selection, she chose this retro long-handled umbrella.

The umbrella handle is inlaid with twelve diamonds, and the moment the umbrella is opened, it shines brightly, giving people only one feeling: expensive.

The viewers in the live stream were stunned.

This gift is really...refreshing and unconventional.

Xiao Jingchi was also stunned: "Luo Luo, this is..."

Zhu Luo flattered, "This umbrella symbolizes that the Liang dynasty still needs the protection of His Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiao Jingchi nodded as if he understood, "Oh, I see. It's my duty to protect the Liang Dynasty. Luo Luo, you flatter me."

If his father, the emperor, heard this, who knows what he would think.

But those words just sound nice.

He is the Crown Prince, the heir apparent; the entire Liang Dynasty belongs to him.

“No, Your Highness, please look,” Zhu Luo noticed the smugness in his eyes and continued to boast, “This umbrella is no ordinary umbrella; it’s automatic. Why don’t you try it, Your Highness? Just press here to open the umbrella; you don’t need to use your hands to open it.”

Xiao Jingchi was pleased by the coaxing and tried it with great interest: "Wow, that's amazing, it launched out in an instant."

"Right."

Qi Jun, standing to the side, snorted coldly, his voice full of disdain and a hint of mockery: "Trying to attract attention."

Xiao Jingchi heard this and was slightly displeased, but he still praised in a gentle voice, "Thank you, Luo Luo. I like this gift very much. I have heard from my third brother that you have many novelties that cannot be seen on the market. Today I am finally fortunate enough to own one."

Qi Jun was taken aback: "You know Prince Li?"

“I haven’t said yet that my third brother is Luo Luo’s savior,” Xiao Jingchi said with a smile, but his smile didn’t reach his eyes at all, and it was devoid of any warmth. “It was quite a bumpy road, but fortunately, it ended well.”

Upon hearing that it was related to Prince Li, Qi Jun's nameless anger flared up again, but he couldn't show it, so he could only mutter to himself:

"We're at war, and he still has the mind to play the hero and save the damsel in distress?"

Zhu Luo was taken aback.

Did she hear it right?

Xiao Mingyan is a member of the royal family and a prince who has established his own household. How could a mere general criticize him behind his back?

This prince's life is so frustrating.

The comments section was filled with confusion.

What's the younger brother's intention? Does he have some kind of grudge against the male lead?

I think he and the second male lead are getting too close; the crown prince seems to spoil him quite a bit.

Zhu Luo also thinks so.

Their relationship was exceptionally good.

[I remember now, Luo Luo's gift was an umbrella. Isn't that one of the top ten breakup gifts? Right? Luo Luo clarified here that she has absolutely no relationship with Ji Yang!]

A string of identical comments followed.

Zhu Luo breathed a sigh of relief; finally, someone understood.

An umbrella is synonymous with scattering. No matter the location or place, she will never have any connection with the person who possesses this face.

"The battlefield is ruthless. I was fortunate enough to be rescued by Prince Li, and I am extremely grateful. Along the way, wherever the Northern Expeditionary Army went, they did their best to help the wounded and the local people. I dare not claim such praise alone. Your Highness is right, isn't she? Compared with the lives of all the people under heaven, my life is really insignificant."

Xiao Jingchi comforted her, "Hey, Luo Luo, how can you belittle yourself? Jun'er didn't mean it that way. It's all in the past. Come, let me toast Luo Luo again to calm your nerves."

Qi Jun gritted his teeth, outwardly resentful but inwardly convinced. His gaze was fixed on Zhu Luo, as if he wanted to burn her alive.

How dare they compare that sickly fellow to their Qi family army? They're asking for it!

Zhu Luo felt a surge of pride, but feigned surprise and said, "By the way, since we've met General Qi today, why don't I give you a gift too?"

"I don't want to!" Qi Jun refused outright.

He had heard about the former mistress of the Shen family, and now, looking at the girl in front of him, he felt even more that she was scheming.

Zhu Luo advised, "General Qi, don't worry, it's just some food, nothing serious. Consider it just to add to the fun of this gathering."
