IACF [QT] Chapter 96.4

Xie Mingzhao lowered his eyes and said nothing.

He was indeed a little uneasy recently because of his engagement recently. He always felt that there was still time and opportunity, but he didn’t expect Qin Shu to be so sensitive and proud.

When she found out that something was wrong with him, she was keenly aware of something and turned around quickly.

This was another thing that caught him off guard. The other thing was that he canceled the engagement too easily.

It wasn’t until he saw the news that he knew why the Su family was so eager to cancel the engagement. It turned out that they had found a better partner.

In front of the royal family, the Xie family was indeed not worth mentioning. He thought with some self-mockery.

“Look at that.” Liang Sen suddenly poked him.

Xie Mingzhao raised his eyes and happened to see Su Yi and Huo Jun walking by.

The two of them were the center of attention, but they were used to it and just focused on their intimate conversation, not being disturbed by the outside world at all.

Liang Sen sighed: “This is a perfect example of a school romance that has been carried to the extreme. Look at the practical combat students. They pursue and date as they please. They are getting engaged soon and even revealed that he is a prince. Comparing yourself to others makes you angry. They are born at the finish line, which is fine, but when people at the finish line work harder than you, it’s leaving you without any excuses to say anything.”

The day of the engagement soon arrived.

Su Yi’s parents came to the Capital Star and respectfully accepted the emperor’s summons. At the same time, Su Yi also met Huo Jun’s mother.

She is also a beautiful woman, who looks pretty and full of charm. It was completely impossible to tell that she had a son like Huo Jun.

When she appeared, she held the emperor’s hand, like the mistress of the entire palace. During the whole process, her eyes never left the emperor. She only glanced at Huo Jun at the beginning, and also at Su Yi.

Su Yi couldn’t help but feel sympathy for Huo Jun. His mother, who could get to where she was today with the identity of an illegitimate daughter, could still act so infatuated after being abandoned by the emperor for so many years. Either she really loved the emperor, or she was really scheming.

But whichever was, it was obvious that she didn’t have much room for her son in her heart.

After the engagement banquet, of course, the media also reported it extensively and also attached a photo of the banquet.

In the photo, Su Yi and Huo Jun stood side by side. This was the first time she was officially known by the people of the empire.

As soon as the photo came out, many people left comments.

“Who is the beauty standing next to His Majesty? Is she a new lover? How come I haven’t seen her before?”

“The person above is either blind or didn’t read carefully. It’s clearly written in the article that she is Prince Jun’s mother.”

“Don’t blame him. I was also confused when I first saw her. Miss Huo has taken such good care of herself that she doesn’t look like someone of her age at all.”

“People are in high spirits when they are happy. After all, her son is the first prince to be recognized, and maybe even the only one. How can she not be happy?”

“The prince is very handsome. I heard that he is the top ace of the Practical Combat Department of the Royal Academy? He’s really outstanding.”

“Finally, someone noticed the protagonist. I don’t understand why some people talk about His Majesty’s lovers all day long. They haven’t gotten tired of them for so many years. They are amazing.”

“If you ask those bored people not to do this, what else can they do?”

“Don’t start a fight. Don’t you find the princess consort particularly adorable?”

“It’s just an engagement. She can’t be considered a princess consort yet.”

“What the above person said, do you think royal engagement is as casual as buying eggs, you can buy them if you want and return them if you don’t want? It’s already set in stone if it’s made public like this!”

“To be honest, she’s really cute and pretty. I suddenly remembered something. Is she an adult?”

“…”

“…”

“You hit the nail on the head. My mother’s colleague’s daughter is in the same academy as her. I heard that when school started, she registered at the academy two weeks later than others because her family held a coming-of-age ceremony for her.”

“So, she’s only been an adult for two months.”

“No wonder she looks like a little girl.”

“Even if it’s a family marriage, she’s still a little young.”

“What family marriage? They’re in free love.”

“How could anyone believe what the officials said? How could it be such a coincidence that two people met randomly, one was a noble girl and the other was a prince, and they fell in love with each other? It was just a show for people to see.”

“Have you noticed that in the photos, almost all the people are ladies holding men’s hands, only the prince is half hugging the princess and his hand is on her waist? It feels like the princess is shrinking into his arms. How adorable!”
