The man seemed to realize something and introduced himself with a smile.
"The last time we met, I was the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Yan Xi blinked, took the tea from him, and nodded slightly.
"Thank you Mr. Li."
Mr. Li smiled and nodded, then turned to look at the situation around him, and then whispered persuasion.
"Actually... you shouldn't have come here today. His Highness is obviously targeting you, and the rest of us have been served tea."
His Highness the Third Highness always entertains guests as he pleases, and the Prime Minister's Mansion recently joined the queue, so he was also thrown into the corner. However, this only made Mr. Li relieved.
He didn't like these banquets, but because of his status he had to make friends with other people, so it was naturally best to stay away from His Highness.
and--
He looked at the person in front of him carefully and couldn't help but feel good about him.
Yan Xi drank the tea bit by bit, suppressing the discomfort in her throat, and pursed her lips when she heard the words.
"I have some personal matters that need to be taken care of."
Mr. Li said oh, knowing that it was not easy to ask, so he was about to sit up straight, but unexpectedly he suddenly heard the other party's slightly doubtful inquiry.
"You and His Highness the Fifth Prince..."
He was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red. He didn't know why this unapproachable oiran would care about such a thing, so he spoke in a panic.
"I have nothing to do with His Highness the Fifth Prince."
In fact, Yan Xi is not a person who likes gossip, but he always listened to the little girl talking about it before, so he unconsciously kept it in his heart.
His Highness was curious, and he happened to bump into it again, so he couldn't help but ask.
Seeing his appearance now, I already knew it in my heart, thinking about telling the little girl next time she came back.
After the panic, Mr. Li calmed down and spoke while holding back his shame.
"Did Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess tell you?"
Seeing him nodding uncomfortably, Mr. Li couldn't help but laugh again.
"His Royal Highness and you have a really good relationship. Moreover, the Crown Princess is loved by His Majesty and is upright. It would not be surprising for her to marry you as her official husband."
After all, she is already the Crown Princess, and she does not need her husband's maternal clan to increase her power. Perhaps too much may easily cause the court to lose balance.
From the fact that His Highness's harem has remained clean for so many years, it can be seen that she must be serious about her feelings.
As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
The Fifth Highness has treated him very well, but after all, there is a servant in the palace, and he cannot be the only one in the future. It is impossible for him to be together for the rest of his life.
But in a world like this, it’s strange that it can be done, right?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but envy Yan Xi.
Although he was born in a flower house, he was able to meet the crown princess. I think his life will not be difficult in the future. He is really lucky.
However, the future of him and His Majesty the Fifth Prince is still uncertain. They don't know when the family will need to maintain its status on its own, or when His Majesty will marry him.
Young men from aristocratic families like them no longer have the right to choose when it comes to marriage.
Thinking of a certain little girl, Yan Xi's expression softened and she responded softly.
After all, he is a young master from a distinguished family. Mr. Li quickly sorted out his mood, and the two of them chatted together.
After a while, a young man who was sitting in front came over. Although he was smiling, it was hard to make people feel friendly.
He handed a glass of wine to Yan Xi with a meaningful tone.
"Young Master Yan will not refuse my glass of wine?"
Mr. Li on the side frowned and wanted to stop him, but he stopped him easily.
"Why, Mr. Li has a problem with me, Xue?"
Seeing that he looked a little embarrassed, Yan Xi pursed her lips and reached out to take it.
"Don't dare."
