"This humble girl also doesn't know what the prince likes. She was bestowed with a marriage by coincidence. She is often terrified, and is also afraid that she will bear the grace of heaven and not be able to receive His Royal Highness's love." As Su Zixuan spoke, his face revealed traces of shyness.

It was just that she didn't know how to act it well, so she almost burst into flames when she caught sight of Jia He's eyes.

She couldn't wait for others to get it easily, how could she not be angry?

"Don't be too proud for too long. I don't even know if this marriage will work!" When Jia He said those harsh words, the meaning behind them could not help but make people overthink it.

Su Zixuan also raised his eyes to look at her, revealing a frightened expression.

When Jia He saw everyone looking at him with such probing eyes, he quickly tried to salvage the situation.

"Who knows, maybe my cousin will soon find you boring and try to end the engagement, or maybe he won't be able to get along with you, so he can just divorce you as usual!"

These words did not sound as frightened as they did in the past. It was as if the little girl was so angry that she could not speak.

He didn't know whether Prince Jin would like it or not, but this marriage was a gift from the emperor, so it was impossible for him to divorce his wife.

The other young maidens didn't take this matter seriously at all. Only Su Zixuan secretly glanced at Jia He and Princess, while Li Shiyun also hooked her palm.

"That's a matter of the future, there's no need for you to trouble yourself." Su Zixuan said indifferently, not minding in the slightest.

Princess Yongning and Princess Jia He felt angry, but there was nothing they could do. In the end, they could only pretend to be persuaded and leave with the group.

Su Zixuan and Li Shiyun felt bored, so they might as well follow the ladies to the garden to check on the chrysanthemums.

It was only when they returned from Prince Duan's mansion that Su Zixuan finally felt the crowd's gaze leave her. Those gazes, whether direct or covert, followed her wherever she went.

Some of the madams would make use of Madame Li's presence as an excuse to get to know her. It was easy to praise her, but it wasn't easy to keep a straight face when complimenting her.

In short, every single word of those madams carried no weight, so much so that Su Zixuan almost believed them.

However, there were also those who were discussing Jia He and Princess Hua-Yang. They were praising the spicy crabs endlessly as they asked around for the method so that they could use it again when they returned.

Since Crown Princess Duan wanted to host this Autumn Festival and invited people to come and have a taste, she naturally wouldn't refuse these things. After asking Jia He and Princess Jia He, they agreed quite generously.

As a result, the ladies were full of praise for him.

When Su Zixuan saw Jia He and the princess earlier, she couldn't help but feel a little fearful of them. However, she found nothing had happened, and with the words that Jia He and the princess had said, she didn't dare to let her guard down.

However, even after they returned home, nothing had happened to Su Zixuan.

She was confused, but her fear of Jia He was even greater.

However, Prince Jin did not appear for nearly half a month in the evening.

"Are you going to the prince's mansion today?" Chu Yixuan asked, not forgetting to pour some tea for Su Zixuan and then pour some for himself.

"Does Your Highness not know about what the entire capital knows?" Su Zixuan replied with a smile. Wasn't he here just for this matter? He was about to ask this question.

Chu Yixuan felt embarrassed and continued, "Then, have you had a good time today? How did Wangfei treat you?"

"Princess Hua-Yang is busy, it's good for me." Prince Duan's attitude was very amiable. He didn't underestimate her, nor did he think highly of her. He only treated her as an ordinary person.

Chu Yixuan didn't know what to say. Ever since he asked to meet with Su Zixuan on the afternoon of the same day, he hadn't dared to come see her in private. Although he was quite deep in thought, he didn't have as much to think about as before.

"But today, I actually saw Prince's best friend." Su Zixuan changed the topic, and his lowered eyebrows unexpectedly made Chu Yixuan tremble with fear.

"Our Su Family is thin and we don't have many cousins. We don't have much more than the princess, and we're all cousins wherever we go." As Su Zixuan spoke, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. However, he still wanted to see what Chu Yixuan had to say.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yixuan covered his face with his hands. Not long later, he started to tremble. A low and deep laughter escaped from his lips. When it landed in Su Zixuan's ears, it was somewhat moving.

However, she still felt confused and annoyed when Chu Yixuan suddenly laughed. "What are you laughing at?"

Chu Yixuan put down his hands. The smile in his eyes hadn't faded yet, but a trace of gentleness still lingered in them, causing Su Zixuan to open her eyes uncomfortably.

"You're jealous." He spoke almost certainly, his tone as innocent as a child's, as if it were something to be showered upon.

"But as you have seen, so many of your cousins were unable to become Consort Jin. This place belongs only to you." Chu Yixuan earnestly spoke to Su Zixuan as if he were promising her something, but also seemed to be expressing his feelings.

On the other hand, Su Zixuan was completely dumbfounded.

In her life, she had never been jealous of anyone but had always hated them. She had never known what begging was meant and she had never bothered with anything either. Yet, at this moment, she was arguing with a bunch of girls over a man.

So this was jealousy.
