As for Prince Ding, no one took him seriously. In terms of power, he had none. In terms of background, his biological mother, Consort Dong, was also extremely low-key. If not for the fact that she gave birth to Fu Xiuyi, she would not be able to remain a consort. Although Fu Xiuyi was outstanding and humble, he was after all alone and his power was limited, so no one thought highly of him. Although Fu Xiuyi appeared to be neutral and was not interested in the competition for the throne, his brothers were still wary of him. Being wary in the palace was never wrong.

However, the women did not see things through the lense of power. The girls present were secretly stealing glances at Fu Xiuyi’s handsome face and discussed softly with flushed faces.

Everyone in the royal family was all good-looking, and Fu Xiuyi was the most outstanding among the nine princes. He was born in the royal family but he did not put on airs, nor did he hold his chin high. To the girls, such a “nice” and “extraordinary” man was really magnificent.

“Prince Ding is simply irresistible,” the girl muttered in a low voice. Shen Miao turned around and saw that Feng Anning had already moved to her side. She smiled at her and said with a straight face, “Since you’re here, why didn’t you look for me?”

Shen Miao was a little confused by her words. She didn’t know since when Feng Anning liked to stick to her. She also did not know when Feng Anning changed her attitude towards her. After all, Shen Miao was not really a young girl. She could not be friends with Feng Anning. Moreover, now, she was always wary of people’s friendliness, so she did not know how to treat Feng Anning. In the end, she could only shake her head and find an excuse. “I didn’t see you.”

Shen Miao naturally did not know that if it were her in the past, Feng Anning would definitely not even take a second look at her. However, the current Shen Miao was the empress who had bathed in the blood of the Ming Qi Palace. People admired those who were stronger than them. Feng Anning could vaguely feel Shen Miao had a powerful presence, so she gravitated towards her.

Feng Anning curled her lips and suddenly whispered teasingly, “But Prince Ding is here too. He’s someone you used to like. Why don’t you even look at him?”

As soon as Feng Anning finished speaking, Jiang Xiaoxuan smiled and said loudly, “Fifth Miss Shen, Prince Ding is here!”

She wanted to embarrass Shen Miao, and she knew with the royal family around, Shen Miao did not dare to flare up. Even Luo Xueyan had to endure it. Everyone in Ming Qi knew that Shen Miao was infatuated with Prince Ding. As soon as she said that, not only the women, but even the men looked over.

Luo Xueyan gritted her teeth. She knew that this person was deliberately trying to anger Shen Miao. Although Shen Miao said that she no longer liked Prince Ding, Luo Xueyan knew that it was not easy to give up on someone. Shen Miao looked calm on the surface, but she might be in extreme pain on the inside. Luo Xueyan was angry that Shen Xin was not around at this time. She turned to look at Shen Miao, afraid that Shen Miao would be sad because of this, and said softly, “Jiaojiao…”

In the male section, everyone’s eyes were filled with excitement. The corners of Cai Lin’s mouth twitched, as if he was gloating. Back then, Shen Miao humiliated him at the test. Now that Shen Miao was going to be humiliated too, he felt happy. Su Mingfeng and Su Minglang sat together. Su Minglang tugged at Su Mingfeng’s sleeve and said with excitement, “Brother, is Sister Shen here too?”
