After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

Xiao Qingning nodded after hearing this. "That's true. You're quite thoughtful. Although it's annoying to be fooled by you, since the final result is good, I won't pursue it. This is just the first time. Don't lie to me again in the future, or you'll be in trouble."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhehao immediately put on a smile and said confidently, "Yes, as you command, my princess."

Xiao Qingning was amused by Li Zhehao's words and said angrily, "You are so talkative."

Li Zhehao suddenly remembered something and said seriously, "Ning'er, I have something serious to ask you. You must answer me truthfully."

Seeing that Li Zhehao suddenly became serious, Xiao Qingning was very confused, but still nodded.

"What's going on? Why are you so serious all of a sudden? I don't know what it is, but I will answer you truthfully no matter what you ask. Just ask."

Li Zhehao hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Ning'er, I heard that the Queen is thinking of choosing a consort for you. Is this true?"

Xiao Qingning was stunned when she heard this. Her mother had only mentioned this matter once. How did Li Zhehao know about it?

Xiao Qingning thought about it carefully again. When this matter was discussed, her fifth brother and his wife were all present. There was no need to guess who told Li Zhehao.

Xiao Qingning complained, "Was it your Fifth Sister-in-law who told you? Why did she tell you everything?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhehao became anxious, "So this is true? I was still hoping that my cousin might be lying to me, but it turns out to be true."

Seeing that Li Zhehao was beginning to feel a little frustrated, Xiao Qingning hurried to explain.

"Oh, it's not what you think. Mother only mentioned it that day, but she didn't really say that she would choose for me. Besides, my fifth sister-in-law has already helped me refuse. Mother will still respect my opinion on this matter. As long as I don't nod, Mother won't force me."

After hearing this, Li Zhehao breathed a sigh of relief. After relaxing, he remembered to say something to help Lin Qingyao.

"That's good. Don't blame my cousin. I guess she was worried about us, so she said that to me on purpose. If I hadn't been so afraid of losing you after hearing this, I might not have the courage to express my feelings to you until now. I have to thank my cousin and her husband for this."

Xiao Qingning also understood that whatever his fifth brother and his wife did was truly for their own good, and it was impossible for him to really blame them.

"Don't worry, I know everything. Fifth brother and his wife do everything for us, how could I be ungrateful? You don't have to worry about mother, I will tell her about us tomorrow. She has also watched you grow up, she is not unaware of your character, mother will not object. As long as you pass mother's test, there will be no problem with father, you just wait to become a prince consort."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhehao immediately felt embarrassed, but he couldn't help laughing in his heart.

Although they came here today for Li Zhehao and Xiao Qingning, since they were here, they couldn't just sit around, so they went to visit the lantern festival in pairs.

Several people agreed to meet up again in an hour. When they came back, everyone's hands were full, and they had gained a lot.

Several people showed each other their "trophies" and chatted while waiting for Li Zhehao and Xiao Qingning to come back.

But as the number of people at the lantern festival decreased, and there was still no sign of the two, everyone became a little anxious.

"Husband, why haven't they come back yet? Nothing will happen, right?"

Jamel Xiao comforted him, “Don’t worry, with cousin Zhehao here, nothing will happen. I think they must have a lot to say and forgot the time. Let’s wait a little longer. If they haven’t come back yet, we will go look for them separately.”

Lin Qingyao nodded when she heard this. This was the only way. Hopefully, everything would go well.

"Are those two people in front of us them? They seem to be back."

As soon as Jamel Xiao finished speaking, Lin Qingyi saw two people walking towards them, and from a distance they looked very much like them.

Several people looked over when they heard this. As the two gradually approached, Lin Qingyao said with certainty: "Look at those two people, they are so affectionate and they are holding hands all the time. It must be them."

After Lin Qingyao said this, everyone noticed the intimate actions between the two and smiled.

When the two of them got closer, they realized that everyone was staring at them, and they felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Ahem... ahem... you all came back pretty early?"

Li Zhehao felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say, so he said this without thinking.

Lin Qingyao was speechless and quickly replied, "It's not that we came back early, it's obviously that you came back too late. Look, there are only a few people here. If you don't come back, we will have to look for people. We don't know if something happened to you."

Li Zhehao felt even more embarrassed after hearing this. They were so busy talking that they forgot the time. In the end, they made his cousin and the others worry.

There was no other way. The two of them had finally met each other and had a lot to say, so they had to seize this opportunity to talk more.

Especially since they had just confirmed their feelings for each other today and wanted to stick together all the time, how could they bear to be separated?

Even so, Li Zhehao didn't want to admit it, and still said stubbornly: "I'm here, what can happen?"

Lin Qingyao knew that Li Zhehao wanted to act like a hero in front of Xiao Qingning, but she didn't expose him.

Lin Qingyao just glanced at the two people's tightly clasped hands and said with a smile: "It seems that the window paper between you has finally been broken?"

Li Zhehao and Xiao Qingning felt a little shy when they heard this. Xiao Qingning even tried to break free from Li Zhehao's hand, but was stopped by Li Zhehao.

"Hey, yes, is it that obvious?"

Lin Qingyao smiled when she heard this. It was obvious that Li Zhehao was asking this question even though he knew the answer.

Lin Qingyao glanced at Li Zhehao with disdain, "It's too obvious. We saw you two being so affectionate from such a distance, holding hands so tightly. It's hard not to see that you were reluctant to part."

After hearing Lin Qingyao's words, Li Zhehao and Xiao Qingning looked at each other, and their faces turned even redder.

The affectionate look between the two of them made everyone else present feel disgusted. It was really unbearable to watch.

In the end, Jamel Xiao was the "bad guy" and interrupted the affection between the two.

"Alright, both of you should calm down. It's already this late. If you don't return to the palace, your father and mother will be worried. Your fifth sister-in-law and I brought you out, and we have to send you back safely. If we are any later, the palace gates will be locked and we won't be able to leave the palace."

Xiao Qingning was reluctant to part with Li Zhehao, and said disapprovingly: "Fifth brother, there is a place for you to stay in the palace. If it's late, you can stay in the palace and go back to Prince Chen's Mansion tomorrow, right?"
