Since the emperor and Empress came, the palace banquet began. Because it was the New Year's Eve palace banquet, the ritual officials recited a long prayer. After reading the prayer, the emperor and Empress invited everyone to raise their glasses. Everyone dared not be disrespectful. Even Shen Qingxi took a sip of wine. She didn't like wine, and she couldn't drink it. Even if she just sipped, her brows frowned slightly. At this moment, she felt someone looking at her, and more than one person.

The sight from the front left comes from Chu Ye, while the other one that is farther away comes from Chu Qi.

Shen Qingxi frowned even more. Instead of looking at Chu Ye, she looked at Chu Qi and looked at Chu Qi with her eyes facing each other. Chu Qi's eyes were bright and dark. Following Shen Qingxi's gaze, Chu Ye also saw Chu Qi looking at Shen Qingxi. This time, Chu Ye's brows also completely frowned.

Shen Qingxi quickly looked away but did not look at Chu Ye. If she looked at Chu Ye just now, Chu Qi would find that she and Chu Ye were circulating with each other. In comparison, it would be better to let Chu Ye find that Chu Qi was looking at her.

Chu Qi didn't see Shen Qingxi for too long, because the emperor and empress sitting in the main seat had already started talking. Zhao Zilan pulled Chu Qi's clothes and said, "Your Highness, after tonight, I'm afraid that the marriage of the third prince will be settled soon, and there are also the seventh prince and the fifth prince. I don't know how the father and mother will choose."

Chu Qi said indifferently, "Of course I chose noble girls from a noble family."

Zhao Zilan continued, "I heard that the fifth prince was interested in Miss Zhang's family, but Zhang Lingxi is the number one talented woman in the capital, and I don't know if she wants it."

Chu Qi smiled, "The emperor issued an order, how can I be willing or not?"

After hearing this, Zhao Zilan felt it was possible and turned around and said, "What about the third prince? The third prince has a relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion, would he choose the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Chu Qi frowned, "The third prince is close to the second wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and not the big wife. I'm afraid the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion will not want to."

Zhao Zilan felt something strange, "Your Highness just said that if the father issued an order, he would not be willing or not..."

Chu Qi knew he had made a mistake, but he thought that if the third prince wanted to marry Shen Qingxi, his heart would be very upset. People in the world said that men were prone to being half-hearted and easily ate in the bowl and looked at the pot. But Chu Qi only asked that he was able to control his mood in the past, but for some reason, now he was a little difficult to control himself when facing Shen Qingxi.

Shen Qingxi's indifference to him made him feel even more uncomfortable. He chose Zhao Zilan for safety and listened to the words of the prince and the queen. However, Chu Qi now regrets it. If he married Shen Qingxi, he would not only get the support of the prime minister's mansion, but also get her.

Chu Qi raised his wine glass, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one sip.

Zhao Zilan looked at Chu Qi in surprise, always feeling that Chu Qi was a little weird tonight. She glanced at the position of the prince's forehead. Zhao Zilan was smart enough to think that Chu Qi was feeling uncomfortable because of depression and unsuccessfulness. She approached Chu Qi and said softly, "Your Highness, don't worry, your Highness will get what you want one day."

Chu Qi raised his eyes and looked at Shen Qingxi's silhouette. Can he really get what he wants?
