I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters

"Well, there's a saying that height is not a distance, and age is not a problem. As long as you fall in love with each other, you can break through all obstacles."

Li Luoyun is the legitimate daughter of the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, so her status is naturally noble. I just don't know if Lord Li and his family will be interested in the children of the Qiao family.

"Princess, are you really targeting me?" Li Luoyun was shocked. "Which brother of yours do you want to propose marriage for?"

"Hey, how can you be so ignorant? Even if I want to find a wife for my brother, I have to find a matchmaker to come to my house properly. How can you be so reckless and ruin Miss Li's reputation?"

Qiao Linxi also knew that if she really asked Li Luoyun so directly, and if the news got out, it would really ruin Li Luoyun's reputation.

Although she was destined to marry a man from the Qiao family, the time had not yet come, and Qiao Linxi would not speak rashly.

"I knew the princess wasn't such a reckless person."

Li Luoyun's heart fell back into her stomach. Although she didn't have any concept of family background, she also had a good impression of Qiao Linxi and wanted to make friends, but it didn't mean that she could accept Qiao Linxi's reckless behavior.

Qiao Linxi and Li Luoyun were chatting, but her eyes were always on the door. She had organized this tea party for Qiao Linshan. If Zhao Dongqing didn't come, it would be a waste of time.

"Princess, who are you waiting for?"

There were really many people coming to the princess's mansion, and it could be said that half of the young ladies from the noble families were here. Qiao Linxi did not go to entertain them, but just stared at the door, which showed that she was waiting for someone.

"A friend," Qiao Linxi did not reveal who it was. Although he intended to bring Zhao Dongqing and Qiao Linshan together, he could not tell others directly, lest people gossip about him when things failed.

Li Luoyun didn't ask either.

It was not until the figure appeared at the door that Qiao Linxi next to her took action. She was delighted at first, then she walked down the stairs holding up her skirt.

"Brother Zhao, long time no see..."

Qiao Linxi walked forward naturally, raised her hand and gently hugged Zhao Dongqing.

Zhao Dongqing smiled, raised his hand and gently hugged Qiao Linxi: "Miss Qiao, long time no see..."

Yes, since Zhao Dongqing and the Sixth Prince left Lanqing City and returned to the capital last year, they have had no contact with each other again.

How shocking it was to see the two of them hugging each other.

They just hugged each other in broad daylight?

Qiao Linxi didn't say anything. Zhao Dongqing was the prince, a member of the royal family. Didn't they value rules the most? How could he hug a woman with an engagement in front of so many people?

"Oh my god, is Princess Dingguo so... dissolute? She's actually hugging and kissing Prince Zhao in this kind of situation."

"How shameless! She's already engaged, yet she's still trying to hook up with Prince Zhao."

"She is so unrestrained in front of so many people, I don't know what she is like in private. I heard that she has many handsome young men in her house."

"Let alone those scholars, even the servants in this mansion are very good-looking. I think this Princess Dingguo is popular with both men and women."

……

Li Luoyun next to him was also surprised. He didn't expect Qiao Linxi to hug Zhao Dongqing so directly.

However, her intuition told her that Qiao Linxi's hugging Zhao Dongqing had nothing to do with the relationship between men and women, but was an expression of the joy of friends meeting again after a long separation.

Qiao Linxi didn't care what others thought. She hugged Zhao Dongqing and then let go, taking him to a pavilion.

"Princess, you..."

Li Luoyun opened his mouth and asked anyway.

"Brother Zhao and I met last year. We have been through a lot together. We have escaped from refugees, been killed by tigers, and fled famine together. So, a hug expresses the depth of our friendship."

Zhao Dongqing also nodded, indicating that he agreed with Qiao Linxi's words.

"But, Prince, aren't you afraid of what others will gossip about?"

Zhao Dongqing smiled and said, "As long as Miss Qiao is not afraid of having her reputation ruined, I, as a man, am not afraid either."

"If you want to talk about ruining my reputation, it was ruined long ago. At that time, those refugees thought I had food on me and tore my clothes into pieces. At that time, I was naked, and it was Brother Zhao who used his robe to cover my body."

Li Luoyun was stunned: "That's not..."

"Yes, as you think, Brother Zhao has seen me naked."

Li Luoyun: ...

Qiao Linxi said seriously: "I don't think this is a big deal, because that was not my intention. I am the victim in that incident."

"I know that people will use this as a weapon to hurt me, but why should I let others use my pain as a sword to hurt me? As long as I have no pain, they have no weapon and cannot attack me."

Li Luoyun: ...

"Yes, if you pay too much attention to these empty things, it will only make the shackles on your body heavier, and eventually you will be unable to straighten your back and breathe."

Looking at the two people who cooperated well and sang the same tune, Li Luoyun couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said softly: "The prince and the princess get along so well and echo each other. I guess they are the kind of close friends who have experienced the test of life and death together, right?"

Her eyes moved between the two of them, revealing a hint of envy. After all, being able to have such a deep and sincere friendship is a great blessing in life.

In this complicated world full of power struggles, it is truly precious to have someone who can walk side by side with you, face life and death together, and never leave you. Thinking of this, Li Luoyun secretly sighed in his heart, wondering when he would be able to find such a bosom friend.

"The awareness of a princess is indeed not something a boudoir lady like me can possess."

Li Luoyun was a little envious of Qiao Linxi. She didn't have to care about other people's opinions and lived a happy life.

"People, don't care too much about what others think. You have to know that you are the most precious person in this world, and no one can compare to you."

"Yeah." Li Luoyun nodded.

Yes, only oneself is the most precious. But having said that, how many women in this world can live completely according to their own wishes like Qiao Linxi.

"Miss Qiao, why did you think of holding a tea party?"

Zhao Dongqing asked.

This kind of tea party doesn't really have much purpose, it's just a gathering of young men and women eating and drinking. If you encounter someone who is not easy to deal with, they will cause trouble at the tea party, which is really annoying.

Qiao Linxi blinked at Zhao Dongqing and said, "Guess."

Zhao Dongqing shook his head and said he couldn't guess.

"Brother Zhao, you are actually the protagonist of today's tea party."

Zhao Dongqing was puzzled: "If you have something to do, you can go directly to the palace to find me, there is no need to go through so much trouble."

"Didn't Brother Zhao avoid suspicion?"

Zhao Dongqing choked. Yes, he was "avoiding suspicion."
