Everyone has a family to support, so it's not good to show it too obviously. Wen Ning looked at the happy and harmonious families of her uncles with a smile on her face. She felt that her current life was really good, and if it could continue like this, it wouldn't be bad.
But after a while, Xiao Yunci came back.
He went to the court early in the morning to deal with affairs with the emperor and took a short vacation.
Since it was the Empress Dowager who took the initiative to propose holding the banquet, the Emperor did not say much and just agreed.
After Xiao Yunci came back, the atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became tense.
Wen Ning found that the uncles suddenly became alert. Although they seemed to be drinking tea or chatting, there were always vague glances over at Wen Ning and Xiao Yunci.
Xiao Yunci smiled faintly, took a step forward, and gently hugged Wen Ning's waist.
Wen Ning's body stiffened. She didn't expect his "intimacy" to start from now on. She suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"Look at that boy's hand." someone whispered.
"How come he's so skilled, huh?"
"Why didn't Ningning kick him away? Who said that this guy wouldn't do anything to Ningning? Why didn't I believe it?"
“…”
Dissatisfied glances would come over from time to time, one after another, flying over like knives.
Xiao Yunci leaned close to Wen Ning's ear and said with a faint smile, "Do you want to go and explain this to your uncles?"
Wen Ning looked up in confusion.
"Otherwise? If I kiss you later, they might cut me alive." Xiao Yunci said with a smile.

"Otherwise, if I kiss you later, they might cut me up."
When Wen Ning heard this, she lowered her eyes, wanting to laugh, but also feeling a little embarrassed.
She gently pushed his chest with her fingers, glanced at him lightly, and said in a gentle voice, "No."
Wen Ning pushed him gently, and Xiao Yunci let go immediately. His movements were polite and proper, and his face looked gentle and humble. He looked more refined and elegant than those so-called gentlemen.
He stood quietly beside Wen Ning, tall and straight like a pine tree, looking at Wen Ning with eyes that were piercing and gentle, with a smile on his face, just like the warm spring sunshine.
Wen Ning did not reject him either. She had a smile on her face and spoke to him from time to time. Wen Ning was just at the level of his chest. When Xiao Yunci listened to her speaking, he would lower his eyes slightly, lean over and listen attentively, then respond to her by looking into her eyes.
The uncles standing by fell silent when they saw what they did.
"...Is it my illusion? Is the prince really like this?" Someone suddenly spoke up, "Hiss...How long have they been married? Why do I feel that the man in front of me is different from the impression I have of His Royal Highness the Prince?"
"Look at him again after Ningning leaves, and he will be the same as before." Someone mocked, "I don't know if he is acting or expressing his true feelings."
"He seems to be pretty nice to Ningning." Someone on the other side nodded in response, "From Ningning's reaction to him, it seems that she doesn't reject him."
