Chapter 47.2 â My Prince Consort Is Beyond Compare (2)
Qi Yang flirted with her as soon as they met; Lu Qipei really couldnât keep up with her and blushed. What was even more embarrassing was that the Crown Prince in the front row obviously heard what his sister had said and looked back. Although he didnât say anything, that look of his really made her embarrassed.
Lu Qipei was embarrassed, but Qi Yang didnât care. She winked at the Crown Prince, who didnât have any choice but to turn back.
With the Crown Princeâs gaze gone, Lu Qipei was finally relieved. Then, she pulled on Qi Yangâs sleeve and whispered, âYour Highness, donât talk like that. Itâs really, reallyâ¦â
Qi Yang blinked somewhat innocently. âIâm just telling the truth.â
The two of them looked at each other for a while, but Lu Qipei was finally helplessly defeated. She even felt that there was no point reminding her now. She decided to drop this topic and asked, âYour Highness, how are you doing in the palace the last half a month?â
Qi Yang looked at her with one hand propping her chin, while the other hand had already touched Lu Qipeiâs hand under the table, rubbing its finger on her palm. âOther than not being able to see you, everything else was fine.â
This this this, can we just talk nicely!?
Lu Qipeiâs face turned even more red, and she couldnât help but look around. The hand that was being rubbed by Qi Yang had now been caught by her naughty fingers, and she started to feel a tickle in her heart. There were high-ranking officials and members of the royal family as far as the eyes could see; this palace banquet was not the time to get close to your fiancée!
By chance, while glancing at the people on the front row, she saw the envoys of Rong State who had just sat down opposite from them. Among them was Xie Hongyi!
His appearance was like a basin of cold water that immediately doused the fascinating feelings she had in her heart. She quickly frowned, and Qi Yang by her side noticed it. She asked with concern, âWhatâs wrong?â
Lu Qipei pursed her lips and turned her head. After looking at Qi Yang for a couple seconds, she still ended up pointing at the boy opposite them.
Qi Yang followed the direction Lu Qipei pointed at and saw the foreign boy who was thirty to fifty percent similar to her. She was stunned, and Lu Qichengâs face that was very similar to Lu Qipeiâs immediately surfaced in her mind.
When she opened her mouth, she said, âIs that the person who was watching at you from the corner that time?â
Lu Qipei didnât expect her to be so sharp, but she nodded when she heard it. âYeah, itâs him.â After a pause, she lowered his voice and said, âYour Highness, donât you think he looks somewhat similar to me?â
Qi Yang seemed unconcerned, âPeople look similar sometimes, itâs just a coincidence. But my Prince Consort is without compare!â
When she saw her like this, Lu Qipeiâs heart felt somewhat relieved, and her frown loosened. She pursed her lips and smiled, then thinking about what she had planned earlier, she told her honestly, âIâve been thinking that he has something to do with meâ¦â
Qi Yang suddenly stretched out her hand to cover Lu Qipeiâs mouth and said angrily, âThatâs a barbarian. Do you dare to be related with him!?â
In fact, they had been talking very quietly. Even the Crown Prince sitting in front of Qi Yang could only hear that they were whispering and couldnât hear their words clearly.
But Qi Yang was still worried. Even after seeing Xie Hongyi, how could she think less of Lu Qipei? Having lived for many years in her previous life, she could only think more of Lu Qipei â looking at Xie Hongyiâs face was enough to make her vigilant and suspicious.
Lu Qipei blinked obediently when she heard what Qi Yang said. When she heard Qi Yang being even more anxious than her, her heart felt very warm.
The hand covering her mouth was gently pulled away, and Lu Qipei leaned closer to Qi Yang to lower her voice even more. âI know, Iâm just telling this to you. I still have to ask Your Highness to help me investigate him.â
Lu Qipei had always been very sincere when she faced Qi Yang. Seeing her clear and trusting eyes made Qi Yangâs heart skip a beat. The nervousness and displeasure she had earlier instantly disappeared, and her voice softened. âThatâs easy. Tell me what you know first for now.â
Seeing her like this, Lu Qipeiâs gaze became even more gentle, but she didnât know much about the young boy other than his name.
She told Qi Yang what she knew, and the whole time they were talking their heads were basically glued to each other, and they were holding each otherâs hand.
The palace banquet had not started yet at this time, and this couple who were whispering to each other seemed very intimate. There was also an atmosphere around them that made it seem like no one could enter their world, making a lot of attention subconsciously gather towards them.
Those who knew the twoâs identity only shook their heads and smiled, but there were some who didnât recognize Qi Yang, or didnât even recognize any of the two. Looking at two beautiful young men that were so close to each other, they couldnât help having some other thoughts.
Xie Hongyi was sitting to the opposite of those two. Although there were some people between them, it was enough for him to see the mood between those two. It wasnât clear what he thought when he saw Lu Qipei looking at the youth next to her so tenderly, but he snorted lightly.
