章 364: 10-34

It seemed that Yu Qingyu's worries were correct, as when he and Princess Rachelle returned to the summer house, the atmosphere around the table was incredibly tense, everyone's attention focused on Liu Wei, who sat stiff with a forced smile plastered on his face. The others were not much different. The King, although his mouth was also smiling, had a clearly displeased look in his eyes. Princess Estelle was pouting, with a shadow of a frown. A few other noblemen, who were also invited as potential matches for Princess Estelle, constantly switched between throwing Liu Wei disapproving glances and looking at Princess Estelle with longing, trying in vain to catch her eye. Only the Queen appeared relaxed, sipping the tea as if the conversation was of absolutely no interest to her. She was the only one to acknowledge Yu Qingyu and the princess's return, giving them a courteous nod, before turning her eyes to the flowers decorating the place.
