At this moment, a contestant walked up to Dong Sheng, “Young Master, I can see that you have a pressing noble aura and the purple stars shine high in the sky. I think that in the future, you will have the fate of a true dragon!”

Crown Prince Dong Sheng frowned, suspecting that his identity had been leaked. He ordered the guards behind him, “Take him down and have a good look.” Just as he finished speaking, someone came up to report, “Young Master, General Zhao and Miss Jiang have come to give their blessings.”

“Blessing? I’m afraid they’re here to flatter him?” Zhao Panpan unconsciously snorted and looked a little nervous. ‘Damn it, that girl Jiang Xi is really audacious. I’m afraid I can’t keep her!’

Zhao Panpan had the intention to kill her, but Dong Sheng, the Crown Prince, thought that she was angry that someone had come to disturb her. Instead, he thought that she looked cute and lovely. As for Jiang Xi… He did not feel much for her. He only asked Jiang Xi to come because of General Zhao Ruifeng. As long as Jiang Xi did not go overboard in front of him, he would not do anything to her.

To his surprise, Jiang Xi ran straight to Zhao Panpan and looked at her with a pair of dark eyes that seemed to see through her heart. Her face gradually turned pale and her body trembled. Crown Prince Dong Sheng thought that Zhao Panpan was frightened by Jiang Xi’s glare and immediately reprimanded, “Miss Jiang Xi, please mind your words and actions!” As he spoke, he held Zhao Panpan in his arms, his face full of heartache.

“This young lady has an air of nobility, and will marry the most distinguished person in the world.” Jiang Xi looked at Zhao Panpan seriously after a moment of silence. However, there was a strange look in her eyes, and there was even a hint of sympathy.

Zhao Panpan shivered and felt a chill run down her spine. Jiang Xi was clearly saying good things and had even satisfied the deepest desire in her heart, but for some reason, she felt a deep sense of fear. What was wrong?

Zhao Ruifeng stood behind Jiang Xi. The two of them seemed to be from two different worlds, but there was a strange harmony between them.

Zhao Panpan’s body curled up, and this time, she really collapsed in the crown prince’s arms. “You…You…” She looked at Jiang Xi several times but did not say anything. Did Jiang Xi know something?

“Being too deliberate will only make things worse. It’s still not too late to turn back now.” Jiang Xi looked at Zhao Panpan with sympathy, pity, and hatred in her eyes.

Crown Prince Dong Sheng frowned. Jiang Xi’s words were ambiguous as if she was trying to make Zhao Panpan stop at the edge of the cliff.

Jiang Xi’s hint made Zhao Panpan clench her teeth so hard that they almost broke! Her mother had said that Jiang Xi would never appear in front of her again. However, Jiang Xi had come to the crown prince! She did not even dare to look at the crown prince, Dong Sheng’s face. She was afraid that the crown prince’s eyes would stop on Jiang Xi!

“Xixi, are you feeling uncomfortable? Immediately call the imperial physician.” Dong Sheng, the Crown Prince, was so nervous that he missed the look in Jiang Xi’s eyes when he called out to Xixi.

Zhao Panpan clutched her head and said, “Brother Crown Prince, please don’t blame Miss Jiang Xi. She’s just a child who’s spouting nonsense. Your identity has determined that we can’t be the same as we were in the past.” She sighed deeply as if she was helpless.

These words made Crown Prince Dong Sheng’s heart ache for Zhao Panpan even more. He thought that she was sighing about the memories of when she was three years old.

“You’re so kind, but there are always people with ulterior motives who want to hurt you. Yet, you’re still speaking up for the people who hurt you…” Crown Prince Dong Sheng hugged Zhao Panpan tightly and looked back at Jiang Xi with disgust. Jiang Xi also looked back at him deeply.

Jiang Xi’s mind went blank for a moment when she looked at Dong Sheng, the crown prince. She only heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Dong Sheng’s words of disgust. He had scared her to death! It was good that she did not have to return the parrot and gyrfalcon!

“You don’t need to participate in this round. A snobbish and hurtful woman like you doesn’t deserve to be blessed.” After speaking to Jiang Xi, Crown Prince Dong Sheng flicked his sleeves and left! When he turned around, he felt as if something had been lifted from his heart. He clutched his chest and paused for a moment. Then, he supported Zhao Panpan and walked away with a pained expression.

“Jiang Xi! Move! I want to see my Jiang Xi!” Jiang Shan broke through the obstacles and took Jiang Xi’s hand to look at her several times before he was relieved.

Crown Prince Dong Sheng paused in his steps and glanced at Zhao Panpan. No wonder she did not like the nickname Xixi. It turned out that someone had the same name as her. Dong Sheng sighed in his heart. It seemed that she really did not want the nickname Xixi. Then he would call her Panpan from now on.
