“There’s no need to trouble you, Your Highness.” Anneval quickly shook his head. “I’m not looking for him anymore. I’ll go back when my mother sends someone over.”
“Then I won’t be able to see you again in the future?” Princess An Ning said with some pity.
She really could not bear to part with such a beautiful brother.
“I’ll come to Great Wei to play when I’m older. Don’t forget me, Your Highness!” said Anneval with a smile.
“Of course not!” Princess An Ning hurriedly shook her head.
The Empress was also a little reluctant to part with Anneval. Although she did
not know where this inexplicable emotion came from, she liked Anneval the moment she saw him.
“Qingqing, you can bring Anneval to the palace to play when you have time,” she said to Jian Qingqing.
Jian Qingqing could tell that the Empress’s family loved Anneval. She nodded and said, “Definitely.”
Jian Qingqing could not help but sigh in her heart. It seemed that being good-looking was really a sharp weapon.
The Empress nodded in satisfaction and said, “Alright, let’s go to the banquet.
Qingqing, you can bring your brothers to sit with us.”
Jian Qingqing was flattered. She did not expect the Empress to be so fond of Anneval. It seemed that Xiao Hu and the others had benefited from Anneval’s favor this time.
When he reached the first table, the Emperor asked in puzzlement, “What took you guys so long?
“I met a very obedient child. Your Majesty, take a look.” The Empress smiled gently and explained.
The Emperor then noticed Anneval, who was following behind Jian Qingqing. He blurted out, “Why does he look so much like the Crown Prince?
The Empress was stunned. After carefully examining Anneval’s face for a while, he smiled and said, “That’s true. No wonder I was wondering why he looked so familiar. Apart from his eyes, he looked exactly like the Crown Prince when he was young. However, the Crown Prince wasn’t as good-looking or as obedient as him.”
Jian Qingqing also took a closer look at Anneval and found that he really looked like the crown prince, especially his mouth and nose. They were exactly the same, but Anneval’s eye sockets were deeper. His eyelashes were thick and curly, and his eyes were crystal clear and light blue, like the sea.
It was precisely this foreign eye that made people focus their gazes on his eyes and neglect other places. That was why Jian Qingqing did not notice the similarities between him and the Crown Prince at the first moment.
Now that she had been pointed out, Jian Qingqing thought about it for a moment. She thought about Anneval’s unknown father and Ming Zhiyan’s words that the Crown Prince seemed to have liked a woman in the past, which was why he had not married for many years.
Although no one else knew about this, Ming Zhiyan still sensed it.
No way! Could it really be that melodramatic?
However, the more she looked at it, the more she felt that it was similar, especially since the facial contours of Anneval’s face were similar to the Empress’s.
“Really!” Princess An Ning said excitedly. Anneval looked like his brother! No wonder we’re so fated!”
The Empress sighed. “If only your brother’s son was as good-looking as
Anneval. But it’s a pity that he doesn’t even have a wife.”
The Emperor quickly comforted her, “Empress, don’t worry. When that brat returns, I will personally arrange a marriage for him. Even if he doesn’t want to marry, he will have to! This way, the Empress will be able to have a grandson next year!”
The Empress smiled gently and said, “Forget it. He can do whatever he wants. We won’t force him. If he really doesn’t have a child, we’ll adopt one from the clan..”
