Fuling, who was standing by, said with a worried look on her face: "Princess, let's go over there quickly. The prince consort looks like he's going to meet his enemy. I'm afraid they'll fight." Xiao Qingning thought this made sense and nodded quickly. "Fuling, you're right. Let's go quickly. It's still not too late to stop it now." The master and servant trotted all the way to the main hall, but were shocked by the scene in front of them. There was no tension between the two of them. Instead, they were talking and laughing, and it seemed that they were having a good time. Xiao Qingning stepped forward with a puzzled look and greeted: "Second Prince, how are you?" Ye Hengjing looked at Xiao Qingning after hearing this, and stood up and said: "Fifth Princess, I haven't seen you for a while. Is everything okay?" Although she knew that Ye Hengjing was just being polite, Xiao Qingning still felt a little flattered. After all, this was a world of difference from the last time she saw Ye Hengjing. But last time, she was unreasonable first, and Ye Hengjing was just passively defending, which was not his fault. Xiao Qingning had to smile politely and said, "Your Highness has seen it too. We are doing well. Thank you for your concern. By the way, we have to thank your Highness for what we have today. I have never had the opportunity to express my gratitude in person. Today I can finally say this to your Highness." Ye Hengjing just smiled indifferently, "Princess, don't be polite. This is just a piece of cake for me. It's not worth mentioning. Besides, the prince consort has already expressed his gratitude to me that day. Princess, don't worry. Seeing that you are so happy now, I am also very happy for you." Li Zhehao could see that there was some embarrassment between the two of them, and he said, "I think your Highness has received our gratitude. Ning'er, if you thank us again, it will seem strange. Your Highness, don't be polite. Sit down and talk. Ning'er, come and sit down." No matter what, Ye Hengjing is also a foreign friend, so he should be more polite when speaking. The reason why the two of them were able to have a friendly conversation just now was because they had not yet entered the main topic. It was just a casual chat, so there was no need to be on edge. But Xiao Qingning didn't know all this. She was really too curious about the state of the two people just now, and she couldn't help asking. "What did you talk about just now? It seems that you are talking happily. Can I listen to it too?" Ye Hengjing smiled when he heard it, "I'm afraid that will disappoint the fifth princess. We just chatted casually just now. There is really nothing to share with the princess." Ye Hengjing was a person who loved to joke. He said this with a smile, which made it difficult for Xiao Qingning to judge the truth of his words. Xiao Qingning silently raised her eyes and glanced at Li Zhehao. Seeing him nod slightly, she believed it. It turned out that the two of them didn't get to the point just now. No wonder they could remain calm. Li Zhehao was not a person who liked to beat around the bush. The small talk was over, and it was time to get to the point. "I don't think the Second Prince is here to chat with my wife today, so why don't we get straight to the point and save both of us time. Second Prince, did Xuan'er ask you to come to me?" Ye Hengjing seemed to have guessed that Li Zhehao would ask this question, and he was not surprised at all. "Of course not, I wanted to come here on my own. Xuan'er did come to me yesterday, but she just told me her thoughts. Xuan'er said she wanted to be brave once, to fight for herself, for me, and for our relationship. She said that since she had made the decision, she would not regret it and would not back down, and asked me to believe her and give her some time to convince her family." Li Zhehao and Xiao Qingning had already known Li Yaxuan's thoughts yesterday, so they were not surprised by this either. "So, why did the Second Prince come here today?" Li Zhehao did not rush to say anything, but asked Ye Hengjing the purpose of his coming today. Ye Hengjing looked directly at Li Zhehao, without dodging at all. "I know very well what family means to Xuan'er, and I also know that this is the first time she has made such a brave decision. It is precisely because I know how difficult this choice is for her that I can't just wait, I must do something for her and for us, and work hard with her." It must be said that Ye Hengjing's words touched Li Zhehao. At least this shows that Ye Hengjing also cherishes this relationship and is willing to work hard for it, and it is not just his sister's wishful thinking. Although Li Zhehao was touched in his heart, he did not show it on his face. "May I ask what the Second Prince wants to do? In our Great Qi Kingdom, marriages are mostly arranged by parents and matchmakers. If the Second Prince wants to be with Xuan'er, he should go to my parents. Did he find the wrong person? We have no say." Ye Hengjing just smiled when he heard this. "According to common sense, it should be so, but it is precisely because I know Xuan'er that I know that I should get your approval first. For Xuan'er, you, the second brother, are the one who loves her the most and the one she cares about the most. If she can't get your support, she can't be happy. Another reason is that I happen to have some friendship with you and your wife, so naturally I come to you first. If you can approve of me, the road ahead will be easier." Ye Hengjing's words are reasonable and clear, and it is difficult to refute. However, Li Zhehao's test is not so easy to pass, and his test has just begun. "It sounds like you do know Xuan'er a little bit, but as far as I know, you have only known each other for a month. I am very curious, what do you like about Xuan'er? And how much do you know about her that you keep saying you know her?" Ye Hengjing smiled when he heard this, as if he had already had the answer to this question and didn't need to think about it at all. "To be honest, I have asked myself many times what I like about her, and there are actually many answers to this question. Xuan'er is the most innocent, lovely, kind and lively girl I have ever seen. Maybe she has always been well protected, her ideas are always simple and direct, and it is always impossible to refute. Facing such a rare innocent and kind girl in the world, it is really hard not to be moved." When Ye Hengjing said these words, I don't know if it was because Li Yaxuan's face had already appeared in his mind, but Ye Hengjing's face unconsciously showed a happy smile. Maybe he didn't notice it himself, but Li Zhehao and Xiao Qingning, who were sitting opposite him and looking at him, saw it clearly. Xiao Qingning was actually very surprised by this. She never thought that Ye Hengjing, who seemed a little difficult to approach, would have such a gentle and happy smile on his face. No matter what Ye Hengjing just said or the smile that unconsciously appeared on his face now, Xiao Qingning, who saw and heard it all with her own eyes and ears, no longer doubted his feelings for Xuan'er.
