”Has Princess Yue planned everything?” Xu Xianfei asked.

”Empress, don't worry. It has already been planned. It can be considered good fortune for Lian Ru Yue to marry into our Xiao family.” Xiao Rou said with a slight smile.

”That will depend on wangfei Yue's decision.” Xu Xianfei's eyes revealed an almost imperceptible gloominess.

”However, Rou-Er has never been able to understand one thing. I wonder, why does the Empress hate Lian Rue?” When Xu Xianfei sent someone to look for her, she was also surprised.

”A mere county magistrate isn't worth my respect, but I would like to become the eighth prince's consort, Wei Ru of the Wei family, a great general of the country, to be the eighth prince's consort. However, Lianyue has been pestering the eighth prince all along, and I think that only by matching this Lian Rue with someone else can I make her give up on the eighth prince.”

”Esteemed Empress, Lian Ruyue seems to be high up on the surface, but her bones are actually extremely filthy. She looks forward to the princes in the middle and secretly picks from them, not even knowing what she is.” Xiao Rou coldly snorted as she ridiculed him.

Feng Lingyue was bored out of her mind. She leaned her elbows on the stone table, resting her cheeks on her hands, slowly closing her eyes, closing them. Her face was about to hit the table when a figure flashed past — —

A large palm pressed down on the cold and hard tabletop. Her face unerringly fell on the back of his hand, avoiding the pain of a collision.

But she didn't wake up. She really fell asleep on the back of his hand.

Xiao He stood by her side, using the back of one hand as her pillow and the other hand as her pillow. He raised his hand to block the sunlight from falling on her face.

He quietly looked at the sleeping person in front of him. His skin was so white that it was almost transparent under the dim light. His round nose, full dark red lips, and long and narrow eyelashes all gave him a feeling that a lover would see him for the first time.

”Ling Yue'er, have a good night's sleep. It's fine if you don't participate in this boring banquet, but it'll save you the trouble of thinking about it.”

The corner of Xiao He's mouth curled up into a smile. In his mind, he remembered that year, the first time he saw Lin Yue'er was in Grand Tutor Wei's study hall —

At that time, as the youngest imperial bodyguard, he was allowed to walk freely within the palace. During those days, he was ordered by the Emperor to accompany the crown prince, and when the crown prince was in the study, he would wait at the last seat.

On that day, a little princess, yawning, arrived late and was punished by the strict Imperial Tutor to stand by his side.

At first, she seemed to be unwilling to accept this fact. With her red cheeks puffed up, her almond-shaped eyes were wide open as she stared at Grand Tutor Wei, who was shaking his head on the podium. When he saw such a lively person, he felt that it was mystical.

After a while, her large eyes slowly narrowed, and the anger in her eyes was gone. She nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice as she dozed off.

”Princess Eleven!” At this time, a loud shout came from the front.

”Here!” She jerked her head up and stared blankly at him.

”Princess, please answer this old subject's question …” Imperial Tutor Wei stroked his white beard and looked at her. He was obviously very angry about her dozing off.

”Th-that … is …” Princess Eleven stuttered as her face flushed red. She didn't know what to say as she inwardly cursed. She'd been dozing off and hadn't heard the tutor at all.
