Double Life: The Sickly Prince Eavesdrops on My Heart

Qin Ruhuan pursed her lips slightly and said, "That's about it! No need to worry about me, cousin!" Then she turned and walked away.

Qin Yue looked at her back and clenched his fists slightly.

At this time, there was a commotion among the crowd: "Look, the third prince is here! He's so handsome!" "So handsome!"

Qin Ruhuan turned around and saw the Third Prince walking in. She hurried to a secluded place and sat in the pavilion to drink tea.

When Qin Yue saw the Third Prince coming, she couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth. She walked up to him and bowed gracefully: "Greetings, His Royal Highness the Third Prince!"

"No need to be so polite! Today is the princess' banquet so please feel free to do as you please!" The third prince said to everyone!

"The Third Prince is so tall!"

"The third prince is so mighty!" several people whispered.

The third prince was extremely happy when he heard this, and acted as proud as a peacock.

At this time, several noblemen came one after another, including the second prince and the fifth prince!

The ladies were dazzled by the sight of the princes, all of whom were majestic and elegant.

Princess Xiao Ya began to invite everyone to take their seats!

At this time, a man in blue came in. He had a face as handsome as jade, eyes as bright as evening stars, a gilded crown to hold his hair, a purple and gold ribbed silk ribbon around his waist, and a tall and graceful figure. He walked over like a banished immortal.

Everyone turned their attention to him, and some ladies even cried out in surprise, "It's Prince Jing! It's Prince Jing!"

The noble ladies who were usually dignified and generous turned into crazy fans at this moment, "Prince Jing is looking at me, he is looking at me!"

Qin Ruhuan felt that this group of people was a bit exaggerated! Is it really necessary?

Princess Xiao Ya hurriedly stood up to greet him, with a shy look on her face: "Cousin, my Lord Jing, why are you here just now? It's really not easy for me to invite you!"

Xiao Jingxuan smiled politely: "Something delayed me!"

After saying that, he sat down. Qin Ruhuan always felt that his eyes seemed to be drifting towards her.

Various cakes had already been placed on the table in front of the guests, which were exquisite, colorful, fragrant and delicious.

The female members of the family were talking in low voices. Several princes and King Jing had all arrived, and none of the princes had married yet. Although King Jing was their uncle, he was only twenty-four and had not yet married.

Which woman doesn’t want to find a marriage like this for herself!

Even Princess Xiao Ya was doing this for her own lifelong event! She looked up at Xiao Jingxuan. She had liked that man for many years, but she couldn't invite him to every banquet. Today, she didn't know why he could attend this flower-viewing banquet.

That always handsome and aloof man always keeps people at a distance, and Xiao Ya is also troubled about how to marry him.

Xiao Ya sat in the main seat and looked at the guests with a smile: "Everyone, I am very happy that you have come to attend my princess's flower-viewing banquet today. Don't be restrained, drink and chat!"

"The sisters present today are all my good friends, Xiao Ya. Those who have talents can perform to liven up the atmosphere!"

Everyone looked at the female guests' seats, some lowered their heads to drink tea, while others were eager to try, because this was also an opportunity to show off their talents and charm.

Only Qin Ruhuan was the most conspicuous. She was wearing a veiled hat. The breeze blew through the white veil, and her face was vaguely visible, making everyone curious about her.

At this time, Zhang Yingying, the daughter of Right Prime Minister Zhang, stood up and said, "My humble daughter is willing to dance for you all!"

After saying that, she walked to the center of the venue with her skirt swaying slightly.

"I would like to play music for Miss Zhang!" Zhao Wanwan, the daughter of Minister of Personnel Zhao Zhuo, said with a charming smile.

Zhang Yingying leaned forward slightly and said, "Thank you, sister Wanwan, for playing the piano."

As the melodious sound of the piano rang out, Zhang Yingying flicked her sleeves and began to dance gracefully. Her waist was graceful, like a willow swaying in the wind, or a butterfly dancing lightly. Her movements changed with the rise and fall of the piano music, and the audience applauded and cheered continuously!

Only Xiao Jingxuan had no intention of watching. He looked at Qin Ruhuan and thought, "Doesn't she never attend such gatherings? Why did she attend today, wearing a veil? Is her face injured?"

Qin Ruhuan raised her eyes and saw Xiao Jingxuan's inquiring gaze, with a half-smile on her lips: Why does this cold man come to such a party? Is he looking for a princess?

The song ended, and Zhang Yingying just pulled back her long sleeves. The two stood up and saluted: "Excuse me for showing off!"

"Good! Good!" The Third Prince and others cheered.

Xiao Ya clapped her hands softly: "Wanwan's piano playing is amazing, Yingying's dancing skills are superb, the two of you complement each other perfectly! Someone, come! Give me my new hairpin!"

"Who else wants to show off their talent?" Princess Xiao Ya said with a smile.

The noble ladies originally wanted to perform dance and guqin, but this time they quietly backed out.

At this time, the Third Prince said loudly: "The one who dares not show her true face is the daughter of the Left Prime Minister?"

When Qin Ruhuan heard that the man had called her name, she stood up and bowed slightly: "My daughter Qin Ruhuan greets all the princes and Prince Jing!"

"Is Miss Qin afraid to see people because she is too ugly and afraid of turning people off? I wonder what talents Miss Qin has today? Let everyone see them!" The third prince said with a look on his face that asked for a beating.

Xiao Jingxuan's face suddenly darkened. He glanced at him and clenched his hands slightly.

Qin Ruhuan glanced at the Third Prince with her phoenix eyes. No matter how handsome this man was, he looked disgusting. "My daughter had a sudden allergy today, but it's not as serious as what the Third Prince said. Although the Third Prince is a dragon among men, his words are not of good standard!"

"Qian'er, don't be rude! Miss Qin is my guest after all!" Xiao Ya said angrily.

"Have you learned all your Four Books and Five Classics, knowledge and etiquette?" Xiao Jingxuan said angrily.

The third prince Xiao Qian glanced at Xiao Jingxuan and pursed his lips, "Uncle, I was wrong! Miss Qin, please don't blame me, and please forgive me!" He admitted his mistake, but was secretly cursing in his heart.

Qin Ruhuan didn't look angry at all. She turned to the princess and said, "Please prepare the brush and ink. I am willing to present a painting for everyone."

At this time, Qin Yue suddenly stood up and said with a gentle smile: "Princess, I will also paint a picture!" Qin Yue thought that she had never seen Qin Ruhuan paint before, and she must beat her today. She started learning painting at the age of five, and let's see how you make a fool of yourself!

Qin Rushi and Qin Ruqi also stood up, "We would like to paint together too!"

The two of them also have their own unique painting styles. The three sisters have studied with famous teachers since they were young, but Qin Ruhuan always slacks off and skips classes, showing no interest at all! There should be no pressure to surpass her!

"Okay! Okay! Then let's start with flowers!"

So the four sisters started painting together. Qin Yue and the others quickly started drawing the lines, but Qin Ruhuan was the only one who was holding the pen and thinking.

Everyone was a little confused. No one knew whether Qin Ruhuan could draw or not. Even Xiao Jingxuan was wondering: Is she sure she can draw well?

In less than a quarter of an hour, they had finished most of the painting. Qin Ruhuan also began to paint quickly, with a focused and serious look.

The breeze blew across her veil, revealing a beautiful face. Everyone was a little surprised: the daughter of the prime minister's family was so beautiful! The red spots on her cheeks could not hide her beauty at all. She looked charming and elegant in a red dress.
