Seeing that she couldn't keep up, Liu Jin stopped and took her hand angrily. Her hand was small and soft. This was the first time he had touched it. The warm feeling made his heart tremble.
She trembled and seemed to struggle for a while, but when she saw that the people around her were all gentlemen, chatting and laughing softly, she finally gave in and let Liujin hold her hand all the way.
The two tightly clasped hands attracted several probing glances.
"Who is the woman next to His Royal Highness?" The speaker was a noble lady.
Another gorgeous woman snorted: "Whoever she is, look at her stupid look." As she said that, she quickly took out a small mirror with a gold rim and touched up her makeup. They all worked hard for this grand event.
The solution is to come prepared. Although the prince is engaged, there are still six highnesses who are not married. They may leap to the high branches and become phoenixes at any time. In this country, the nobility is second only to the royal family, but they control the country.
They are the economic and military lifeblood of the country, and the royal family also respects them. On the surface, they are harmonious, but on the inside, there are turbulent waves.
"Second brother, third brother, sixth brother." Liu Jin took Zhong Yuxi's hand and walked into the VIP room. The second and third highnesses were talking to each other. When he saw him coming in, the second highness joked: "Hey
, Lao Qi, who is the beauty next to you?"
Liu Jin lowered his head and blushed. Just as he was about to introduce, he felt that his palms were empty and Zhong Yuxi's hand had been withdrawn. He was stunned for a moment, the corner of his mouth twitched and said nothing.
As soon as Zhong Yuxi came in, she felt that a fiery gaze was staring at her, as if it was about to penetrate her. It made her feel uncomfortable all over. She put her hands behind her back and played with her fingers.
He turned his head and tried his best to ignore the burning gaze.
"Sixth brother." Liu Jin stood between Xuanyuan Xiaofeng and Zhong Yuxi. He was obviously afraid that His Highness Sixth Highness would blame her again, so he quickly found a topic and asked: "Is fourth brother unable to come back?"
"Um."
"What about fifth brother? He...he still refuses to come?" When Liu Jin said this, a trace of desolation flashed in his eyes.
Xiaofeng hummed, stood up and said, "I'm going to check on the situation over there with His Highness the Crown Prince."
"I'll go too." Liu Jin turned around and told Zhong Yuxi: "Don't run around. Just wait here. I'll be back soon."
Zhong Yuxi nodded obediently. She looked up and saw Xiaofeng again. His eyes stopped on her, and his eyes were full of disgust and ridicule. She couldn't understand him, she didn't understand.
Why did he have so much hatred just by hitting him with her shoe? Is this person so small-minded? She glared back unceremoniously, but he gave her a cold smile and turned away.
The brief exchange of glances between the two did not escape His Highness's eyes. He looked at Zhong Yuxi and suddenly felt that she seemed familiar, not because he had seen her before, but because...he couldn't tell.
Zhong Yuxi had already saluted the two of them and was about to leave.
"Didn't Lao Qi ask you to stay here?" His Highness called her.
She turned back and said: "I have no obligation to listen to him."
His Highness the Third Prince smiled: "This is the first time I have seen such a bold commoner like you."
Zhong Yuxi raised the corner of her mouth: "The Third Highness is serious. How can I dare to disobey the royal order? It's just that I am the instructor of His Highness the Seventh. As the saying goes, teachers are respected, and sometimes he has to listen to me as a teacher. Your Highnesses
If there is nothing else, Yu Xi will leave first."
His Highness the Third Prince waved his hand helplessly: "Go ahead."
Zhong Yuxi immediately ran excitedly into the crowd like a lamb that had let go of the rope. No, to be precise, she ran into the open-air restaurant where the banquet was held.
"Brother Six, the ceremony is about to begin. Why hasn't the prince come yet? Is something wrong?" Liu Jin rubbed his palms and asked worriedly.
