Double Life: The Sickly Prince Eavesdrops on My Heart

Another quarter of an hour passed, and several people finished their paintings. Qin Rushi's painting was a peony, which was noble and gorgeous. Her painting skills were indeed good, and everyone immediately praised her.

Qin Ruqi's painting was of lotus, a pond of lotus, green leaves stretching to the sky, and a few branches of blooming lotus rising out of the mud without being stained. The artistic conception was beautiful, and everyone exclaimed: What a talented woman came out of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion!

Qin Yue painted hibiscus. Her brushstrokes were delicate and the depth of color was just right. A large bunch of hibiscus flowers jumped out of the paper, which was very beautiful. Everyone couldn't help but applaud!

"Great! Miss Qin has such attainments in painting. Censor Qin really teaches his daughter well!" the third prince said loudly.

Xiao Jingxuan looked at him with disdain: You have no knowledge!

The attendant picked up Qin Ruhuan's painting and showed it to everyone. There was a woman standing under a plum tree. She was wearing a red cloak and had black hair like a waterfall. Her side profile was exposed. She raised her head slightly, smiling, and reached out to grab a plum blossom. The red plum blossoms on the branches were covered with snowflakes, and even the woman's eyelashes were covered with snow!

A beautiful picture of plum blossoms stunned everyone, "This is too beautiful!" Xiao Jingxuan showed a rare smile: You are worthy of being the woman I like. Qin Ruhuan, how much do you know about you that I don't know?

"Well drawn. Today we have witnessed the talents of several Miss Qin. They are indeed both talented and beautiful! Everyone deserves a reward!" Xiao Ya said with a meaningful smile.

Xiao Jingxuan put down his teacup and looked at Qin Ruhuan with his narrow eyes, "Miss Qin's plum blossom appreciation painting is indeed outstanding. She deserves to be the first in talent today!"

Qin Ruhuan glared at him fiercely through the white veil: You are the only one who brings hatred to me!

After hearing this, Xiao Ya was stunned for a moment, looking a little embarrassed: I am the most beautiful and talented woman in Kyoto, what is she, Qin Ruhuan?

"Today's talent show ends here. Come, serve the wine and food!" the princess shouted to the servants.

Soon, all kinds of dishes and wine were placed on the table. Chicken, duck, fish, meat, and all kinds of delicacies were innumerable!

Everyone raised their glasses and drank. Xiao Jingxuan raised his glass and nodded to Qin Ruhuan, then drank it all in one gulp! The Third Prince and Qin Yue saw this scene, and they looked at each other.

During the banquet, several noblemen looked at Qin Ruhuan from time to time. Even the Second Prince and the Fifth Prince were quite interested in her. She stole the limelight at this banquet!

Looking at the host of the banquet, Princess Xiao Ya, the most beautiful lady in Kyoto, she looked unhappy. She was the protagonist of the banquet, but Qin Ruhuan stole all the limelight!

Everyone was eating and laughing, and it was very lively. Qin Ruhuan also drank a glass of fruit wine. The maid next to her shook her hand when pouring the wine, and the whole pot of wine spilled on her skirt.

The maid was so frightened that she knelt down in panic: "This servant deserves death! It was my carelessness!"

Everyone looked over, Xiao Jingxuan frowned slightly and his face fell.

Xiao Ya glared at the maid angrily: "It would be better to take Miss Qin to change clothes!"

The maid kowtowed quickly: "Yes, yes, I will go right away!"

Qin Ruhuan looked at this scene and found it a little funny: Who is doing these little tricks again!

It really never ends, right?

Qin Ruhuan followed the maid to the guest room of the princess's mansion to change clothes. She walked along the corridor and crossed a small arch bridge. The guest room was not far away.

When passing the small arch bridge, Qin Ruhuan stopped and looked down. There were many lotus flowers in the lake and fish were swimming around in them.

The maid was walking in front of her, but when she saw her stop, she turned back and stood behind her waiting.

When Xiao Jingxuan saw Qin Ruhuan leave the table, he felt a little worried and followed her from a distance.

Suddenly he saw someone behind Qin Ruhuan stretching out his hands to push her. In a panic he was about to shout "Be careful" but Qin Ruhuan, at this moment, seemed to have eyes on the back of her head and her body suddenly tilted to the right. The maid's hand, which she pushed out with all her strength, hit nothing and rushed straight into the hell!

Xiao Jingxuan rushed over, grabbed Qin Ruhuan's hand, and looked worried: "Are you okay?"

Qin Ruhuan looked at him, a little surprised, and then looked at his hand holding hers, "My little girl is fine, Your Majesty, please respect yourself!"

Xiao Jingxuan was stunned and immediately let go of Qin Ruhuan's hand. He was a little embarrassed and his ears turned slightly red!

The maid fell into the lake and struggled to swim to the shore while shouting for help!

The two ignored him. Xiao Jingxuan looked at the maid fiercely and said, "Don't worry about it. I will take care of it. I will send you back to the mansion now. You don't have to stay in the Princess's Mansion!"

After saying this, he didn't wait for Qin Ruhuan to speak, but pulled her out.

After leaving the mansion, he went straight to the carriage of Prince Jing's mansion and told the driver: "Go to the Left Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Qin Ruhuan felt a little helpless. This Prince Jing was a bit overbearing. He just dragged people into the car without caring whether they were willing or not!

On the way, the two of them didn't talk, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle. Qin Ruhuan felt uncomfortable, so she took the initiative to find a conversation: "I haven't thanked Prince Jing for the two hundred taels of gold!"

Xiao Jingxuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Then how would you like to thank Miss Qin? Invite me to dinner or..."

"Or what?" Qin Ruhuan had a question mark on her face.

Xiao Jingxuan smiled deeply in his eyes: "Or I will pledge my love to you!"

Qin Ruhuan pursed her lips and glared at him: "You wish! Your Highness is probably too narcissistic. I am not worthy of you!"

After hearing this, Xiao Jingxuan suddenly leaned over and asked, "Why are you not worthy?" The two looked into each other's eyes, and their noses were so close that they could feel each other's breath!

Qin Ruhuan was slightly startled, her face flushed, and she felt as if her heart skipped a beat. She quickly turned her head away, not daring to look him in the eye. Who could resist such a handsome face? Help!

Xiao Jingxuan slowly sat back, looked at the little girl who didn't dare to look him in the eye, and grinned: You can be shy too!

There was silence all the way. When the carriage arrived in front of the prime minister's residence, Qin Ruhuan jumped out of the carriage like a flash and ran away without even saying hello!

When she returned to her room, Chunhua Qiuyue came out to greet her. "Miss, you are back so early?" "Miss, what happened to your skirt?"

"It's okay, I just spilled some wine!" After saying that, he found a set of white home clothes and changed into them.

Qin Ruhuan sat at the desk in front of the window, looking at the flowers and trees outside, a little dazed.

What does that man mean? Does he want to marry me? Qin Ruhuan felt confused.

She thought back to the time when the two of them looked into each other's eyes in the carriage, and that person was indeed breathtakingly beautiful!

She took out the drawing paper again, spread it out, picked up the pen and started sketching. This time she painted the scene of him leaning over and her shyly turning her head away. Her nimble brush flew up and down, and the painting was finished in half an hour. She immediately rolled it up and locked it in the cabinet.

Prince Jing's Mansion.

Xiao Jingxuan returned to the mansion, called Fei Ye, and ordered: "Fei Ye, go to the Princess's Mansion and tell her not to do these little tricks in the future and stay away from Qin Ruhuan, otherwise her father, my uncle, will not be able to cover up what he did!"

Fei Ye took the order and left without saying a word.

Xiao Jingxuan stood in front of the window and pondered, how could she marry me?
