At noon, Prince Xiao Tan finally arrived, and at the same time, the new top scholar Fang Muxi came.

"Haha...it seems I'm late."

Everyone stood up and saluted the prince, "His Royal Highness."

Xiao Tan sat on the main seat and waved his hand, "Everyone, sit down. Sit down."

Only then did everyone take their seats.

Shopkeeper Xu bent down and asked softly: "Dear guest, may I ask... do you want to serve food now?"

Xiao Tan nodded, "Come on."

As soon as he said that, shopkeeper Xu quickly took the order and left to make arrangements.

After everyone sat down, Xiao Tan extended his palm to Fang Muxi and introduced with a smile, "This is probably familiar to everyone, Mr. Fang, the new No. 1 scholar."

Fang Muxi stood up with a decent smile, picked up a cup of tea and said, "Thanks to the prince's invitation to have dinner with me today, I have the honor to meet you all. I would like to offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."

Some of the officials present nodded with satisfaction and drank tea in support. After Fang Muxi sat down, they began to talk animatedly.

At the women's table, many young and dreamy girls were looking at Fang Muxi with blushing faces.

"Is this this year's top pick? I heard that His Majesty highly praised him and said that he has great literary talent."

"Not only that, he is too handsome..."

"I don't know if there is any marriage..."

Only the little princess was dismissive. She curled her lips and whispered, "Pretending."

Su Xiang raised his eyebrows and smiled with interest.

If it weren't for the inappropriate location, Su Xiang would have really wanted to ask what happened to Xiao Xian and Fang Muxi. There must be something fishy between them.

Over there, Xiao Tan noticed the female family members, raised his eyebrows, and brought Fang Muxi over to say hello.

"Dear ladies, let me introduce you to this person, who is the top scholar in the new science."

Fang Muxi raised his hands and saluted, "Muxi below."

Most of the female relatives responded shyly, "Young Master Fang, you don't have to be polite."

Even Su Wan returned the favor with a smile. Only the young princess, Su Xiang, and Li Zhiyu were not very interested and looked cold.

The prince asked interestedly: "Why do I think these daughters are not interested in the new number one scholar?"

Li Zhiyu curled his lips and was the first to answer: "It's not like your highness doesn't know that I am devoted to Brother Mo."

Su Xiang was amazed.

This second female lead is so brave. The prince invited her here, clearly trying to win over her and her father, Taishi Li, but she ended up declaring her love for the male protagonist in front of everyone, clarifying her position. She is a true warrior!

As expected, Xiao Tan's expression turned cold.

Unexpectedly, there was another one who didn't even look at him. The little princess snorted and said with disgust, "Why should I be interested in him?"

After hearing this, Fang Muxi paused, smiled and said hello proactively, "Princess, you are well."

The little princess turned her head in disgust, obviously unwilling to pay attention to him.

When Xiao Tan saw these two people being so uncooperative, veins popped out on his forehead, and he began to regret why he wanted to talk to these two sticks today!

"Xian'er, don't be rude."

Xiao Tan angrily scolded the little princess, and then explained to Fang Muxi, "Ignore her, this girl is spoiled by my uncle."

A smile flashed in Fang Muxi's eyes, and he shook his head to show that he didn't care, "Your Highness, it's okay. I think the princess's personality is very interesting."

The little princess immediately glared at him.

As soon as these words came out, the scene was silent for a while.

Everyone stared at Fang Muxi, probably muttering in their hearts: "The princess is so domineering and arrogant, but he still finds it interesting. Is this number one scholar not in his right mind?"

Fang Muxi, who was suspected of being mentally disturbed, had an impeccable smile and no one could guess what he was thinking.

There were two mallets in front of him for comparison, so Su Xiang's next answer was much more normal.

"The new No. 1 pick has a bright future, but I don't dare to be interested."

Fang Muxi stared at Su Xiang with complicated eyes, then raised her eyebrows and said, "Cousin, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Everyone was surprised again.

The No. 1 Scholar and Miss Su Er are actually related? !

Someone then remembered, "By the way! The number one scholar's surname is Fang, and he is the legitimate son of Magistrate Fang. And Miss Su's mother seems to be Magistrate Fang's sister!"

The prince suddenly realized, smiled and patted Fang Muxi on the shoulder, "Fang Zhuangyuan and Xiang'er are actually relatives, why didn't you remind me earlier?"

Fang Muxi replied calmly: "I have been too busy during this period and will not think of it next time."

"That's right." The prince nodded, looking across the faces of Su Xiang and Fang Muxi, generously leaving them some space, "You cousins ​​must have something to say, so I won't interrupt them."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Su Xiang didn't expect that Fang Muxi would take the initiative to expose the relationship between the two, so he could only smile slightly and respond, "It turns out to be my cousin. We met once when we were young, but we didn't interact much after that, so I didn't recognize him for a while."

Fang Muxi put on a flawless smile and replied: "It's my fault too. I've been too busy recently, and I neglected to have time to visit the Su Mansion. I'll definitely send you a message some other day."

"Then cousin is waiting for cousin."

"it is good."

The two of them were obviously relatives but acted as if they were strangers. This scene made everyone present know what they were doing.

It seems that the relationship between the two families is not good.

Of course Su Wan knew that their relationship was not good. She looked at the two of them and sneered coldly in her heart: "Fang Muxi will be the best among those who worship the prime minister in the future. Su Wan doesn't even know how to have a good relationship with him. It is really a waste of natural resources."

She doesn't know how to make a good relationship, just to facilitate herself.

So, after the prince left, Su Wan straightened her hair around her ears, stepped forward to interrupt the conversation, and looked at Fang Muxi with her watery eyes, "Since Mr. Fang is Xiang'er's cousin, he is also my cousin." Brother."

Su wanted to know what she was thinking just by looking at her like that.

She couldn't help but curl her lips, a little curious about how Fang Muxi would treat Su Wan.

Fang Muxi lowered his head and cast his gaze on Su Wan's face. He was still smiling, but there was an imperceptible contempt in his eyes, and his tone became softer, "I remember that my aunt only wants to have a daughter. Who is you?" "

Su Wan's expression froze as if she was humiliated, "I am the eldest lady of the Su family, Xiang'er's sister."

He didn't even remember himself! Fang Muxi came to Su Mansion when she was a child, and she even went out of her way to please him at that time!

"Oh, it turns out to be Miss Su." As if she just remembered, Fang Muxi apologized: "I'm sorry, I had no impression of you before."

"That……"

Before Su Wan could say more, Fang Muxi suddenly spoke in a low voice.

"It's just that Miss Su thinks that she is my aunt's biological daughter, so she calls me cousin. And you are not my aunt's child, and you have little blood relationship with me, so I'll forget about calling you 'cousin'. I'm not very lucky." , I’m afraid I can’t stand this claim.”

Fang Muxi still had the same smile on his face. He deliberately lowered his voice so that most people couldn't hear him clearly. Only Su Xiang, a few people who were close, could hear clearly.

The little princess laughed.

Li Zhiyu couldn't help but cover his mouth.

Su Xiang stared at Fang Muxi thoughtfully.

This guy is really evil. There was not a single derogatory word in the words, but every word was invisibly humiliating Su Wan.

Sure enough, Su Wan's body was shaken, the color on her face faded, she was so humiliated that she almost cried.
