”Two days ago, my cousin even secretly begged me to help him pick out the new jewellery from the Treasure-collecting Tower. That Jade Magnolia Flower hairpin really made Di green with envy!”
”Really?” Zheng Yan raised her head, her eyes shining.
Bai Zheng unwittingly swept his eyes over Bai Di. The moment their eyes met, Bai Di smiled gently, as if she was her younger sister's guardian.
A strange feeling rose in Bai Zheng's heart. [Why would this cousin of mine, who always wanted to rip me apart when we meet, suddenly help me out of the blue today?]
Su Muxiao who was seated at the side also laughed: ”Miss Zheng, don't worry, no matter how many girls there are outside, Your Highness's heart is only with you! Please wait, Your Highness will bring the Jade Magnolia Flower hairpin to you. ”
The crowd burst into laughter once more.
Bai Zheng's eyelids twitched subconsciously. For some reason, she kept having the feeling that Su Muxiao's words had a deeper meaning.
”I heard your laughter from far away. What's so funny about saying that behind my back?” Feng Jingyang who was dressed in silk clothes and had a handsome face walked in, his clear voice was filled with a smile, his long phoenix eyes swept across the hall once he walked in, and when he walked past Zheng Yan, Zheng Yan's face became even redder.
”We are talking about Fourth Brother's handsomeness and elegance, a match made in heaven and earth with Miss Zheng.” Feng Jingxuan who had been silent the entire time laughed and said.
The moment he heard the words ”made of heaven and earth”, Feng Jingyang's eyes suddenly dimmed, and immediately recovered his smile: ”Third Elder Brother is right.”
The ray of darkness flashed too quickly, almost no one noticed, but Zheng Yan, who was still fixated on Feng Jingyang's body, caught it.
Zheng Yan was just about to get angry, but suddenly remembered what Bai Di had said just now.
At this time, Feng Jingyang's gaze had already stopped on Bai Zheng's body.
”Third Miss.” As Bai Di's cousin, she had seen Bai Zheng a few times before, so Feng Jingyang was not unfamiliar with her. However, because of their relationship with Bai Di, Feng Jingyang had habitually erased his surname, and directly called her ”Third Miss”, revealing a sense of familiarity and familiarity.
Bai Zheng returned the greeting, ”Your Highness.” Before she could bend down, Feng Jingyang supported her with his hands: ”No need for formalities.”
Bai Zheng squinted her eyes, looking at Feng Jingyang who was looking at him with a warm smile, she stood up and took a step back.
Feng Jingyang immediately retracted his hand, and with a slight embarrassment on his face, he finally realized that he should not have casually touched the woman's body in front of everyone.
But just now, his movements when he went to help Bai Zheng were too fluid, as if he had done it many times out of habit.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became strange.
The faces of the Gaochang Marquis and the Eldest Princess Pingyang were a little ugly. Zheng Yan pursed her lips and stared coldly at Bai Zheng.
Feng Jingxuan looked at everything with a cold gaze, and suddenly laughed, as he said coldly: ”It's fortunate that Fourth Brother is already married, otherwise, if Fourth Brother wanted to ask to marry Miss Bai, in terms of relationships between many years, I'm afraid that no other family's young master can compare to you.”
”I wonder if this marquis can compete?” Following the end of this gentle voice, a man wearing a mask walked into the hall. He wore a tall jade crown and a plain white robe embroidered with silver patterns. His eyes exuded a bright and quiet moonlight. His eyes were indifferent, and exuded a delicate, water-like elegance.
