Su Qian’s movements looked extremely casual. The sword she threw out quickly brushed past An Ruoruo’s ear. After cutting off a few strands of her hair, it disappeared into the pillar behind her. The hilt of the sword shook slightly, scaring everyone present into silence.

“Miss Su, you’re really thoughtful. Quick, please sit down.” Empress Dowager hurriedly invited Su Qian to take a seat. Now she found Su Qian even more pleasing to the eye.

Su Qian smiled and turned around to leave under everyone’s gaze. She returned to her seat and sat down steadily.

The surrounding men were all infatuated as they stared at Su Qian without blinking.

Among them, one of the gazes was particularly conspicuous, as if he was sizing Su Qian up. Xiao Yan quickly noticed this brazen and arrogant gaze and looked coldly at the owner of the gaze.

At the main entrance of the imperial garden, a man in a light golden robe stood outside the archway with an infatuated expression. His gaze seemed to be glued to Su Qian and had not shifted from the beginning to the end. It was as if his soul had been seduced.

Looking at this man, Xiao Yan saw that his eyes were filled with greed and desire as he looked at Su Qian. The aura around him suddenly dropped to a freezing point. Before he could do anything, someone present recognized the man.

“Look, it’s the Second Prince.” Xiao Yan’s eyes flickered slightly when he heard these words. After which, it was as if everything had nothing to do with him as he withdrew his gaze in a carefree manner.

Xiao Zhen, who had been bored all along, heard the words ‘Second Prince’ and his eyes immediately lit up. He immediately looked up at the Second Prince and saw his most beloved son. He was unable to contain his joy but laughed out loud. “So it’s Heng’er. Quick, grant the Second Prince a seat.”

“Thank you, Imperial Father.” The Second Prince, Xiao Hengjun, smiled and hid his bad intentions toward Su Qian. Then, before he sat down, he bowed to the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress.

“Today is Empress Dowager’s banquet, and yet the Second Prince only came at this time. Is there something that delayed you?” The Empress looked at the Second Prince and asked in an unfriendly tone.

Before Xiao Hengjun could speak, Xiao Zhen stepped forward to help his son out. “Hey, isn’t it good that the child can come over? Empress, you are being too petty.”

The Empress was reprimanded and her facial muscles twitched with anger. “Fine.”

When Su Qian saw this scene, she raised her eyebrows and asked in a low voice, “I heard that your Second Imperial Brother is very doted on by His Majesty. Looking at it today, it’s indeed extraordinary.”

“Xiao Hengjun is the son of a noble concubine, so of course he is extraordinary.” Xiao Yan recalled the way Xiao Hengjun looked at Su Qian just now, and a strong sense of coldness emerged in his eyes.

Su Qian blinked. For some reason, she could clearly sense Xiao Yan’s dissatisfaction with Xiao Hengjun.

However, Su Qian did not pay much attention to this matter.

Compared to the favored Xiao Hengjun, Xiao Yan was like a weed by the roadside in the eyes of the Emperor. It was inevitable that he would be jealous. This was human nature, and Su Qian understood this.

Su Qian was unaware that Xiao Yan’s emotions were not related to the current situation. Just as she was about to pick up her chopsticks and continue eating, she heard Xiao Hengjun mention her.

“Although I came late, I arrived at the right time. I happened to see Miss Su’s dance, and it was truly eye-opening.” After Xiao Hengjun finished speaking, his gaze swept across Su Qian.

With just a glance, Su Qian revealed a displeased expression. She felt that although this prince looked gentle, his eyes were filled with gloom. The way he looked at her was as if he had set his eyes on some prey..
