"I got it, step back." Wu Zechen nodded and didn't say anything more in front of this maid. After all, she was from the Xia Mansion.
After the maid left, Xia Luotong frowned and asked, "Why is the prince here? He sent someone specially to call us back. Are he here to find you?"
The two of them had originally planned to leave Xia Mansion. After all, they had stayed for a long time, and there was no point in staying any longer.
Wu Zechen was equally puzzled by this. He shook his head: "He would not go to the banquet in Xia Mansion to look for me. If he really wanted to find me, he would have sent me there to show his identity as the prince. But I and him There wasn’t anything to say before, so it’s unlikely he was looking for me.”
"I've only met him once, and he probably didn't come to see me." Xia Luotong was puzzled, "Then why did he come to this banquet? He only showed up when the banquet was coming to an end."
However, Wu Zechen looked at her intently after hearing this, and a suspicion arose in his heart.
"Why are you staring at me?" Xia Luotong turned around and saw Wu Zechen staring at him, and couldn't help but wonder.
"It's nothing. Can you pretend to be uncomfortable? Let's show up and leave." Wu Zechen suddenly said.
"Pretending to be uncomfortable? It's okay, but can you tell me the reason?" Xia Luotong raised his eyebrows, a little surprised that Wu Zechen would make such a request. She could see that he seemed a little worried, but this What she was worried about, she didn't know.
Are you worried about her? Or worried about himself? Or is it someone or something else?
"I'm not sure yet. How about I talk to you later when I leave Xia Mansion?" Wu Zechen hesitated for a moment and said.
When Xia Luotong saw what he said, she nodded and asked no more questions. It was not easy to treat her so honestly. It didn't hurt to wait a little longer. For some reason, she inexplicably believed that he would not harm her.
She didn't know when, but he had quietly changed in her heart. Not only did she change her view of him, but she also... gained more care and trust that even she herself was surprised to see.
The two walked all the way back to the banquet hall. Before approaching the banquet hall, Xia Luotong adjusted the expression on his face freely, making himself look a little more tired and listless.
When Wu Zechen on the side saw this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This man's face really changed like turning a book. He seemed to have changed in just this moment. It really opened his eyes.
His eyes flashed slightly, and he naturally lifted her hand into his arm, letting her arm rest on his arm, looking close to each other quite intimately.
Xia Luotong raised his eyebrows. He originally wanted to withdraw his hand, but after seeing his expression, he endured it.
Stepping into the banquet hall, the two of them found that there were quite a few guests in the banquet hall at this time. Those who had not yet left knew the news of the prince's arrival and rushed back one after another.
At this time, the person sitting in the first place, chatting with Xia Zhihe who looked respectful at the side, was none other than Prince Wu Fengyi.
The prince was dressed in gorgeous clothes, exuding a noble aura. His face looked quite easy-going at this time, and he was smiling and talking to Xia Zhihe.
The prince is the eldest son of the queen. He was born in the same year as Prince An Wu Zechen. He is now twenty-five years old. However, unlike Wu Zechen, he married the prince early and now has several children. .
The crown prince is backed by the Queen Mother's family, the Fengguo Duke's Palace, and his princess is also from the Fengguo Duke's Palace, and is the eldest daughter of Lei Guogong's son.
Although the prince has tried his best to win over the courtiers over the years, he is not alone in strength. Besides him, there are several equally powerful princes. It is still uncertain who will sit on the dragon throne in the future.
Although the prince's appearance is outstanding and his reputation is pretty good, Xia Luotong can't have a good impression of this person. She even feels that this person always has a cold feeling, which makes her quite unhappy. But even if No matter how much you don't like it, you can't show it, so you have to act.
Xia Luotong and Wu Zechen attracted everyone's attention as soon as they stepped into the banquet hall. After all, both of them were among the best in terms of status and appearance, and among these people, there was also the prince.
Seeing Xia Luotong walking slowly, her charming little face was showing a bit of frailty, which made the prince more and more pitiful and fascinated the prince.
He didn't know what was wrong with him that he was so fascinated by Princess An. Ever since he saw her once in the main hall that day, it was hard for him to forget this figure. She would always get into her from time to time. In his mind, he wanted to get her more and more, hide her in the harem and pamper her!
But since that day in the main hall, he had never had the chance to see her again. It was not until today that he hurried over after knowing that she was back at Xia Mansion to attend the banquet.
Now that he finally saw them, he couldn't move his eyes away. But when he saw the two of them wearing the same clothes and the two of them being so intimate in public, he couldn't hide his displeasure. The eyebrows were also dyed with a few rays of cold color.
The change in the prince's expression did not escape Xia Luotong and Wu Zechen, and it also made them a little more suspicious.
Seeing the two of them approaching, the prince's eyes flickered and turned around on them, but he stayed on Xia Luotong the longest. Then he raised a smile and said, "I didn't expect that Prince An would be free to accompany me today." It's a coincidence that the princess went to the Xia Mansion to attend a banquet. It's rare that I'm free today, so I just happened to have a chat with Prince An and the princess."
Seeing that the two of them were standing still, the prince couldn't help but continue: "Why don't you sit down? It's a rare opportunity to meet you today. It is quite difficult to meet Prince An on weekdays. Now that we have met today, Prince An will not Will you reject me?"
The prince's attitude was full of strength both inside and outside his words, and he was very showy. However, this was obviously of no use to Wu Zechen.
Wu Zechen's expression was still cold, but he refused the prince's invitation without hesitation: "It's a coincidence. I didn't know that the prince would come unexpectedly today, and I and the princess had already planned to leave. I went back to the palace first, but was called back by my servants."
Seeing that the prince frowned after hearing this, Wu Zechen did not give him a chance to refute, and immediately continued: "The princess is not in good health and needs to go back to rest, so I can only say goodbye today and go back when I have the opportunity." Looking for the prince to talk to."
He rejected the prince's invitation so bluntly, and as expected, the smile on the prince's face faded, and his expression was not as friendly as before.
