This must be Lu Wuxian's masterpiece.

What on earth are you thinking about at such an important moment?

It's so embarrassing, so superficial, and my heart is so ugly that I can't see it.

However……

The scene of that rich man being close to Lu Fusu is still imprinted on his eyes and cannot be peeled off.

She said how scary she was, while she looked timid and crying, with a beautiful profile and the temperament that a queen should have.

...I am indeed a little country civet cat...

Just treat everything as a dream...

In the cold moonlit night, borrow my robe, plum branches, gentle hands, the weight of my head on the shield, the arms that hug me tightly...

How long will these things remain in the memory?

I just want to dance, that's all I need...

"Shuixinyuan."

Hearing Qing'er's voice, Shui Xinyuan slowly raised his head, and she didn't know when she was already lying by the window.

"Are you asleep?"

"without……"

"Are you crying?"

"I didn't cry..."

"lie."

Qing'er smiled softly and wryly, then entered the room.

"If you feel down, just cry...but there's something a little strange to me."

"……strangeness?"

"right."

Qing'er sat on Shui Xinyuan's bed, her hands on her legs and her cheeks supported.

"What I'm thinking of is that if His Highness the Crown Prince is really in danger, you should be the one who will immediately step forward to save him."

Shui Xinyuan turned away and looked out the window.

"...but it wasn't me who saved him."

"So I didn't say anything that was 'really' dangerous."

"..."

Shui Xinyuan turned to look at Qing'er.

"You were so focused on dancing that you didn't notice it, but I felt something was wrong... The woman named Cao Baoji yelled danger and rushed towards His Royal Highness, but her movements were not that sensitive. At least with her slow movements, it was necessary to

When she saw the arrow coming, she immediately rushed forward to stop it from hitting the prince, but she couldn't do it."

"What's the meaning……"

Shui Xinyuan didn't see that moment clearly.

When he heard the shout of danger and paid attention, Bao Ji and Lu Fusu had already fallen down together, and the arrow hit the chair.

"That woman was born to be a rich young lady, and her movements are not as agile and dexterous as yours. When an arrow flies towards you, most people usually just say, 'Huh? What is that?' and don't even move."

"Qing'er..."

Feeling that what Qing'er was about to say was terrifying, Shui Xinyuan stood up.

"Wait a minute, but...she blocked it with her body and saved His Highness Fusu!"

"It looks like that, but..."

Qing'er stared at Shui Xinyuan and said slowly but clearly: "I feel that if I hadn't known from the beginning that an arrow was coming, Cao Baoji would not have been able to protect His Highness the Crown Prince."

Shui Xinyuan took a few steps back, her legs were weak and she sat down in the chair again.

"I don't understand...I don't understand what Qing'er is talking about..."

"I can't prove that my idea is correct, but I can't believe that in that situation, who else would save His Royal Highness the first time except you."

"That……"

...It's just Qing'er's wishful thinking. After all, it was Cao Baoji who saved Lu Fusu.

Closing her eyes, Qing'er lowered her voice.

"It is possible that I am speaking for you, but not everyone can risk their lives to save others."

"When an arrow is flying towards you, your normal reaction is to avoid it, right?" Qing'er murmured.

Bao Ji did not escape, and saved Lu Fusu one step faster than others. This seemed to be the case for everyone.

"She...she...if she loves His Highness Su..."

"Do you like him more than you? I can't tell, but I believe this is a lame show she did to become the queen."

Send someone to shoot arrows, jump to protect yourself, and let the other party regard you as your savior... This is what Qing'er wants to say.

"She is beautiful……"

She has snow-white skin, a slender neck, and a pitifully crying expression that looks like she will fall over if the wind blows.

"She can become the queen without having to act like this, right?"

"We all think so."

Qing'er stood up.

"Although I don't understand what those adults think, there's nothing to feel down about."

"..."

"It's almost dinner time. When you're hungry, you'll feel even worse!"

"Um……"

Although he had no appetite, Shui Xinyuan also got up and walked to the corridor with Qing'er.

At this time, I saw Cuihua jogging from the front with an excited face.

"I heard it, I heard it!"

"What did you hear, Cuihua?"

"Ah, Qing'er! Let me tell you, you just attended the banquet, right? What kind of woman is Cao Baoji who saved His Highness the Crown Prince? Is she beautiful?"

"Hey, she looks very beautiful...what?"

"I heard that she didn't go back! Among the noble daughters who were summoned to attend the banquet, only Cao Baoji remains in the palace!"

Shui Xinyuan and Qing'er looked at each other.

"What's the meaning……"

"It's annoying! Of course being left here is a good thing!"

She covered her mouth with her hands as if telling a secret, but Cuihua's voice could be heard clearly, and all the court ladies in every room poked their heads out.

"Is this news true? Where did you hear it, Sister Cuihua?"

"My sister is a maid in the palace. I just met her for something. She was also called to help at the banquet today. She was also there when the commotion happened! She said that His Highness the Crown Prince said that only the daughter of the Cao family would be left..."

Shui Xinyuan staggered away from the circle of court ladies surrounding Cuihua and returned to his room.

"Ah, Shui Xinyuan..."

"Qing'er, I won't have dinner today..."

"Shui Xinyuan..."
