That time he only dared to glance at her furtively a few times, and then pretended to leave calmly when she looked over, but this time it was very different. He just looked at her openly,

No shyness.

His unscrupulous gaze was indeed a bit fiery, making Zhe Xinyi's pretty face couldn't help but heat up. She walked up to Li Miao with some dissatisfaction and lightly patted Li Miao on the shoulder.

"What are you looking at!"

"Looking at you."

Li Miao's words were so straightforward and unconcealed that Zhe Xinyi was a little overwhelmed, and the enthusiasm on her face became obviously hotter.

"Xinyi, do you know? You look a little weird today..."

"Weird? Is there something wrong with me?"

"No, it's very pretty."

Such earthy love words have long been out of date in later generations, and may not have any effect other than making the woman roll her eyes.

However, things were different here. It was the first time Zhe Xinyi heard such earthy love words, and she said she really couldn't bear it.

"Xinyi."

"Huh?"

Meeting his gaze, Zhe Xinyi couldn't help but tremble in her heart. She understood the full meaning in his eyes.

Finally, she closed her moving eyes, raised her head slightly, and her long eyelashes twitched against her owner's wishes.

Li Miao suppressed his excitement, and just as he was about to hug her waist and lower his head, a sound that made his teeth itch with hatred rang out, interrupting this extremely beautiful moment.

Zhe Xinyi woke up suddenly and quickly pushed away Li Miao in front of her.

"Miss, miss, something bad is going to happen!"

He didn't see the person but heard his voice. As the voice sounded, the bun-faced maid hurriedly ran into the small courtyard with a painting in hand.

Li Miao stared at her fiercely, why didn't she think this little maid was so hateful before?

"Master Li, why are you looking at me with such fierce eyes?"

The bun-faced maid shrank back in fear and her voice was a little weak.

"Ahem..."

Zhe Xinyi glared at Li Miao with her beautiful eyes, then coughed a few times and asked, "Myolie, why are you so anxious?"

The bun-faced maid raised the painting in her hand and said, "Miss, you asked me to package this painting for you as a gift for His Royal Highness, but I found that one corner of this painting is missing."

Sure enough, a piece was missing from the right corner of the painting, which looked like it had been gnawed by a mouse.

Zhe Xinyi couldn't help but frown slightly. Obviously, such a painting is not suitable as a gift.

So, Zhe Xinyi had no choice but to ask the bun-faced maid to go to the warehouse to pick up another item and wrap it up.

......

The two chose to walk, and because they had plenty of time, they walked leisurely towards the location of Bowang Garden.

Bowang Garden is a royal garden. It is located in one of the most beautiful areas in the capital. The scenery there is extremely beautiful. For most people, it is a place that is out of reach.

Obviously, the guards guarding the gate of the garden knew Zhe Xinyi and what he was doing here. They respectfully welcomed Zhe Xinyi in without Zhe Xinyi showing any invitations.

,Li Miao naturally followed closely behind.

Bowang Garden is very large, and the specific location of the birthday party held by Prince Li Yan was roughly around the middle of the garden. Therefore, after the two entered the garden, they had to continue walking for a while before reaching a place called

The palace of Bowang Hall.

The banquet was held in this palace.

Before I even stepped inside, I heard the excitement coming from outside.

Zhe Xinyi handed the gifts she brought to a middle-aged man, who was responsible for registering the gifts brought by distinguished guests.

After writing it down, the middle-aged man looked at Li Miao.

"She and I are together." Li Miao said calmly.

Although the current crown prince’s concubine passed away due to a serious illness last year, and the crown prince does not yet have a concubine, the banquet was still divided into men and women.

The prince is naturally in charge of the male guests' side, and Princess Zhaoyang is in charge of the female guests' side.

Princess Zhaoyang and the Crown Prince have the same mother and are the Crown Prince's younger sister. They have had a deep relationship since childhood.

The moment Zhe Xinyi entered the banquet, she was spotted by the sharp-eyed Princess Zhaoyang. Princess Zhaoyang left the current guests behind and hurriedly ran towards Zhe Xinyi and grabbed Zhe Xinyi's hand.

Hands, smile on face.

"Xinyi, you're here."

Faced with the enthusiasm shown by Princess Zhaoyang, Zhe Xinyi responded with a smile that was not rude, and then calmly withdrew her hand.

In the past, the relationship between her and Princess Zhaoyang was not as close as it seems now. It was just a casual acquaintance. But since the beginning of this year, the Princess Zhaoyang has come to see her at every turn, expressing her feelings.

Show great enthusiasm.

At first, she was still confused about this. It wasn't until Princess Zhaoyang inadvertently said some good things about the prince in a certain conversation that she finally realized something.
