Chapter 85: The Somewhat Strange Crown Prince (Part )
Su Liuyue suddenly chuckled and said, "Who told you that they have a good relationship?"
Xue Lingwan was stunned.
Isn't this something that everyone can see? Do I need to tell her?
Su Liuyue raised her hand and gently pointed at Miss Xin Qi's face, saying, "First of all, look at the smile on Miss Xin Qi's face. It's clearly a very forced smile, not a smile from the heart."
Xue Lingwan frowned slightly, "How do you know that wasn't her genuine smile? Maybe Xin Qiniang smiled like this before?"
Su Liuyue shook her head slightly and said, "A real smile will move several muscles on the face. When you smile, both cheeks will be raised, and because the face will be puffed up, it will look wider. The muscles under the eyes will be squeezed, and wrinkles will appear. This is very difficult to fake. People who fake smile either don't move the muscles on their faces at all, or they move them too much."
Xue Lingwan was stunned. She clearly knew all these words, so why did she not understand them when they were put together?
But in this regard, her cousin must be more experienced than her.
She couldn't help but say, "But even if Xin Qiniang was pretending to smile, it doesn't prove that she was pretending to smile because she didn't like Zheng Liulang. Maybe it was just because she was in a bad mood at the moment, or maybe she didn't like this kind of occasion?"
Su Liuyue raised her eyebrows and smiled, saying: "Your inference is very reasonable. Just based on this point, it cannot be said that she doesn't like her fiancé. But you pay attention to the little movements of her hands. Every time Zheng Liulang approaches her, the little movements of her hands will stop for a while. This is a manifestation of her body stiffness, which means that she doesn't like it very much, or she is not used to Zheng Liulang approaching her.
Most importantly, pay attention to her feet."
foot?
Xue Lingwan's eyes moved downward subconsciously.
Although the pavilion was full of people, fortunately Zheng Liulang and Xin Qinnan were sitting facing the entrance of the pavilion, so no one would block their feet.
Therefore, Xue Lingwan saw very clearly that Xin Qinnan's two feet were together and facing to the left, and her legs were not tilted sideways in a very natural way, but even the lower part of her waist seemed to be twisted.
Zheng Liulang sat on her right, and on her left was another young woman.
It must be said that her posture was a bit awkward, so awkward that even Xue Lingwan noticed that something was wrong.
Seeing Xue Lingwan's stunned expression, Su Liuyue smiled faintly and said, "The direction of the feet represents a person's intention, because the feet are the farthest from the brain, so most of the time, they are the least controlled by the brain.
No matter how much you pretend to like someone, if deep down you actually don't like him or even hate him, your feet will be in the completely opposite direction of him.
Therefore, I can almost conclude that the seventh girl of the Xin family not only dislikes her fiancé, but also rejects him in her heart."
"Sigh~"
Xue Lingwan couldn't help but take a deep breath and whispered, "So, the possibility that Miss Xin is the murderer's target is very high."
"Yes."
Just as Su Liuyue finished answering, a suppressed exclamation suddenly came from behind her—
"Oh my God, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually came?!"
"Ah! I saw it, I saw it! The man walking over there, isn't he the Crown Prince? Just like the rumors say, the Crown Prince is a rare handsome man!"
This commotion immediately attracted the attention of everyone present. Even the young men and women who had been having fun in the pavilion quickly stood up and walked over here.
Even Xue Lingwan turned her head suddenly and said excitedly, "Cousin! We can actually meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today! My eldest brother would be so jealous if he knew! Although he doesn't dare to say it in front of my father, I know he admires His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! He dreams of working under His Royal Highness the Crown Prince every day!"
Because of the incident with General Wu, Xue Chengyi was somewhat angry with Zhou Yunke. Whenever he talked about Zhou Yunke at home, he would sniffle and glare at him.
Seeing Xue Lingwan being so excited like a girl chasing a star, Su Liuyue couldn't help laughing. Then, looking at the girls around her who couldn't hide their excitement, she couldn't help but wonder if she should also pretend to fit in with the crowd.
Although she was more or less tired of seeing Zhou Yunke's face, if she acted too calm, it would attract attention. The servants of the Princess's Mansion reacted quickly and took action immediately, asking everyone to stand on both sides and leave a path.
Soon, a salute was heard not far away.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
The sound of salutes was like waves, gradually coming towards them along with the approaching inky figure not far away.
When the man came closer, Su Liuyue confirmed that it was indeed Zhou Yunke. His attire today was no different from usual. He wore a gilded jade crown on his head and his hair was combed neatly and meticulously, revealing a three-dimensional and handsome face. He was wearing a dark-colored, narrow-sleeved robe with silver embroidery, which was convenient for movement, and a pair of dark riding boots on his feet. He didn't look like he was going to a banquet, but rather like he was temporarily dug out from the military camp.
A pair of narrow and slightly raised phoenix eyes stared ahead, without even a trace of smile on his face, which made his eyes look even colder and sharper, saying "No approach allowed".
There was a soldier standing in front, behind, left and right of him. Feng Yang was standing in front of him on the left, also with a sullen face and a fierce aura as if he had brought back from the battlefield.
Su Liuyue suddenly felt a little strange. Perhaps this man had the intention of testing her when they first met. Therefore, he always had a faint smile on his face. Although that smile was, as Su Liuyue said just now, a classic fake smile, it was much more friendly than the cold and indifferent look now.
While she was daydreaming, Zhou Yunke was almost in front of them. The people around him immediately saluted and said, "Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Su Liuyue hurriedly followed suit and saluted, but she did it perfunctorily. She also quietly raised her head to look at the man not far away, but suddenly met a pair of dark phoenix eyes.
The man had noticed her at some point and was turning his head to look in her direction. When he noticed her gaze, his eyebrows slightly raised and a faint smile quietly formed in his eyes, but it was fleeting and he quickly turned his head back.
Su Liuyue didn't know what to feel for a moment.
This man's eyes were really sharp. She was not standing at the front and was almost drowned in the crowd, but this man could still recognize her at a glance.
Soon, Zhou Yunke and his group walked over, so fast that it seemed like just a gust of wind passing by.
The guests slowly stood up, the excitement still evident on their faces.
Especially the young women who were standing in the same direction as Su Liuyue, their faces turned red with excitement.
"Did you see it? Did you see it? The Crown Prince just looked in our direction!"
"I saw it! And...and I don't know if it's my illusion, but I feel like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is smiling!"
"Who is he smiling at? Is he smiling at some woman?!"
Xue Lingwan looked at Su Liuyue in confusion, "Did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince look at us just now?"
Su Liuyue couldn't help but tap her forehead lightly with amusement. Well, when everyone was peeking, her cousin turned out to be a rare honest person.
At this moment, a female voice suddenly came from behind, "I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was looking at our girl just now. Our girl is so beautiful. In Xinjing, except for the third girl of the Zheng family who has entered the palace now, our girl is the most beautiful."
This sounded like just a compliment to please the host, but some people got anxious.
"Fu'er, although... although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very good, but you... you are engaged to me..."
Su Liuyue and Xue Lingwan looked over subconsciously and saw a fair-skinned man with a scholarly air anxiously looking at a beautiful woman beside him not far away.
The woman had a simple single spiral bun, wore a water green narrow-sleeved top and an orange-red folded skirt, and a moon-white shawl. Her dress and clothes were not gorgeous, but because of her beautiful and delicate face, people felt that even if she was wearing a piece of linen, she would not be as beautiful as a pearl covered in dust.
This is definitely the most beautiful woman Su Liuyue has ever seen since he came here today.
Suddenly, Xue Lingwan came up to her and whispered, "Cousin, that is Miss Shen San from the Pingxi Marquis's Mansion. Previously, she and Miss Zheng's San were known as the two beauties in the capital. It is said that if she had not been engaged long ago, the Shen family would have sent her to the palace."
