Wei Lin's face turned ugly on the spot. Her fingers unconsciously tightened around her wine cup as she spoke in a different tone, "Your Highness, do you mean that you don't want to give me face?"

Before, when he saw the soft and weak appearance of a woman, he thought that she was someone easy to bully. But now, it seemed that he really couldn't judge a person by his appearance.

She turned her head with a sneer towards Xiao QingRan and intentionally mocked, "But then again, even if what lady said is reasonable, it is still a fact that you all didn't get married. In order to avoid trouble and misunderstanding, I think it's better for you not to say what you call yourself in the future, 'Royal Consort'."

Xiao Qingran raised her eyebrows lightly with an indifferent expression: "Miss Wei's reminder is that I will think of a way to avoid this kind of situation. For example, I will get engaged here sometime."

Her words made Wei Lin choke. She couldn't use this topic to write anymore.

She looked at Wei Lin who was standing there embarrassed and furious. Suddenly, she smiled: "However, what Miss Wei said just now is right. It wasn't easy for us to come here, and it wasn't easy to get together either. We can't ruin everyone's temper just for a small matter, right?"

"What are you trying to say?"

"Nothing, didn't Miss want to toast? I also want to take this opportunity to thank the Mayor for his hospitality." Xiao Qingran spoke as she raised her goblet: "Although Qianhan cannot drink, I am willing to drink with Miss. After all, is this kind of thing like handing over guests like that something that a woman like us should be doing in the first place?"

Hearing her words, Su Qianhan frowned.

However, before he could say anything to stop her, Xiao Qing Ran gave him a look and made a gesture with her hand that was hidden in her sleeve. The latter only calmed down after seeing what she was holding in her hand.

Xiao Qingyi raised her eyebrows, purposely raising her voice: "I also hope that when Qianhan accepts these ten or so cities in the future, all of you city lords will be able to take so much care of us today ~"

Hearing this, Wei Lin's expression changed. He came here to toast just to test Su Qianhan, but this woman's words would sound like he wanted to cooperate with them.

After all, he was his father's daughter, and every single movement he made at this banquet represented his father.

Wei Lin knew that she was being used by this person in front of her. She wanted to say something to stop him, but Xiao Qing Yun drank the wine first and then used a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, spitting all the wine onto it.

This kind of trick was something that many people would use on modern tables.

"Both I and the Prince have received Miss's respect." After she finished drinking, she even purposely raised the wine cup in her hand to pour it out. Not a single drop was left inside.

Wei Lin's face went from white to purple, and she couldn't say anything anymore. She could only smile wryly as she downed the cup of wine in her hand before turning around and leaving.

Xiao Qing watched her return to her seat and took in the expressions of the dozen or so City Lords. A hint of playfulness flashed in her eyes.

Tsk tsk, looks like those people heard my words and should be allowed to listen in. Don't think that Qian Han would be easily bullied when he first entered this place without any authority or authority.

So what if they have a dozen cities?

Although she didn't have many people on her right now, she still had a chance to win if she went head to head against him. She knew that Qianhan had made a lot of preparations before coming over, and with the help of the Glazed Temple and Flower Pavilion, she was somewhat confident in some matters.

She didn't like to fight head on with others, and most of the banquets were for show, so she rarely acted in such a domineering manner. Since Su Qianhan had been with her for such a long time, he naturally knew her, and she wasn't doing it for herself.

Although he didn't want or need to work as hard as she did, he was very happy to see her now protecting him.

His woman always had him in her heart. This was something that made him most happy.

"Qing Qing is so intelligent, I sometimes feel like I'm useless." Su Qian Han passed a glass of water to rinse her mouth.

Although she didn't really drink the wine from earlier, there were still some traces of wine stains left in her mouth.

Xiao Qing Ran took it and took a sip. The taste in her mouth was immediately quite diluted: "What? You don't like it? "

"How could that be? Gongzi's and Qingqing's appearances are all things that I like, it's just that …" He swept a glance across with a hint of meaning in his voice, "I think it would be best for Qingqing not to show too much of her edge, lest people think too much of her."

He clearly knew who Xiao Qing was talking about. When Wei Lin came over, he had already set his eyes on her. These two people were the man and woman he had noticed when he first entered the hall.

"Being targeted by others is a good thing. This will save us a lot of trouble." Xiao Qing raised her eyebrows and used her water cup to block the playfulness and slyness in her eyes.

Su Qianhan liked to look at her scheming attitude the most. She leaned over and half-jokingly said, "Qingqing is right. If only Qingqing had the spare time, she would have been able to keep me company just like last night."

There was still a smile in Xiao Qing Ran's eyes as she felt a pair of large hands on her waist. The corner of her mouth twitched as she gritted her teeth, "Paw down!"

This was a banquet, would this man have a banquet?

"No." Su Qianhan rejected him straightforwardly. She took advantage of the beautiful atmosphere of the dancers to get closer and closer to her. She wrapped her arms around her waist and pulled her into an embrace. "Qingqing, I want …"

"I missed you!" I haven't settled the score with you yet. " Xiao Qingran glared at him fiercely as she mercilessly twisted his waist and ruthlessly retorted: "If your blood really boils up, with so many beauties in front of you, you could bring any few of them to serve me."

Su Qianhan sucked in a breath of cold air, a pained expression appearing on his face. In his heart, however, he was extremely happy. Even his eyes sparkled as he said, "How could they compare to Qing Qing?"

The corner of Xiao Qing's eyes swept across the light in his eyes. If it weren't for the fact that she had slapped him out of the corner of her eyes at the banquet, she would have said something when she saw Hua Chengyi's underlings coming around the back hall.

Yo, I haven't even looked for this person yet, she's already getting impatient.

Su Qianhan naturally saw the servant and frowned. He had no choice but to let go of the servant.

These people truly did not have good eyesight.

However, Xiao Qing felt that this official matter had come at the right time. She took advantage of the fact that the messenger had not arrived, and was still in the mood to tease the man beside her: "This banquet is too lively; I can't stand it any longer, so I can go out and take a breather. Of course, if Prince Han feels agitated too, then we can also find someone to talk about the heavens."

Just as she finished speaking, Hua Chengyi's men had arrived. He respectfully conveyed his master's message, and Xiao Qingyi nodded in agreement.

Watching the wangfei leave with the man, Su Qianhan moved his fingers and sighed gloomily.

Currently, she only had three months left. There were at least five more months until the birth, plus two more months to raise the moon, it would take at least half a year.

Although last night was not bad, but the next time I have to eat it, who knows when it will happen ~

While we, the Duke of Han, are carefully calculating the date of meat consumption, Xiao Qingqing has followed her servant to the garden outside the Mayor's Mansion.

Hua Chengyi was already waiting at the pavilion.

"Mayor Hua." Xiao Qing Qing walked up to the pavilion and gave Riko a look.

Not trusting to follow out, Li Er retreated to the side of the pavilion.

Hua Chengyi waved his hand to push the servant away and smiled. "There's no need to be courteous, you can just call me Cheng Yi."

Her eyes were full of smiles as she sized up the people in front of her. She said in a neutral tone, "I thought that Princess Hua-Yang was just an ordinary girl from a noble family, but now it seems that I was the one who had a bad taste in things. It's no wonder Princess Han who is so popular in the capital is favored by you."

"Since you said the word 'honor', then it seems that your news is faster than others. This way, it won't be too stupid to say these words. If there's anything that Cheng Yi wants to talk about, feel free to say it."

Hua Chengyi chuckled, then placed his hands on the table and clasped them together. "Since you insist, then I'll be frank. The reason I asked for an appointment with the princess today is because I want to get on good terms with her before others. "

Xiao Qing raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect her to be this straightforward. However, she had always been natural when she spoke and could also go along with the topic, "For example?"

"For example, if I can help out with the Duke's scheme, it will only be a success in the end. I'd like to ask for the Princess' help in one matter." Hua Chengyi said with a deep voice.

At that moment, she had seen the hatred that flashed through the eyes of this person. It seemed that this woman also had a story to tell.

"Can you tell me what exactly it is?"

She shook her head. "It's not the time yet. Princess, please be at ease. It's definitely within your capabilities."

Xiao Qingyi laughed: "Why should I believe you?"

"I have no reason to harm you." Hua Chengyi shook his head, these words were said with confidence, "Those people are all harmful to your reasons. Princess Wangfei is so smart, so she should know what your arrival means to those people. They all love fame and power, so they naturally won't hand over the things in their hands so easily.

If it wasn't for that matter, she would have already left her position. She didn't have a shred of nostalgia for the identity of the City Lord.

Xiao Qingqing narrowed her eyes and looked at her as if she was sizing her up. The person opposite her also returned her gaze with the same intention of looking back, not avoiding her gaze in the slightest.

Xiao Qingran suddenly laughed softly: "I believe you."

She believed that this person did not do it for anything else, but she felt that the power coming from her was very similar to her own.

"Thank you very much." Hua Chengyi clasped his fists, giving off the vibe of a martial artist, "I've come out for too long to attract attention. I've only come to meet with the wangfei first so that we can get an impression of each other. I'll find the time to meet her personally regarding the details."

Xiao Qingyan nodded and returned the greeting. She then left with her servants.

Xiao Qing Ran twirled her finger but didn't immediately leave. She casually glanced at the grass not far away and raised her voice: "She has already left. Are you still not coming out?"
