Xiao Jin accidentally caught a glimpse of the woman sitting next to the Crown Prince and almost thought she was seeing things. She couldn't help but tilt her body slightly and look closely.

The woman sat upright and leisurely on a Huanghuali wood chair, draped in a palace-made brocade gown, the blue color resembling that of a lake, making her cheeks look even more pure and white.

In fact, her attire and appearance were not inappropriate in any way. It was just that her slightly furrowed brows and her affectionate gaze were too much like Chu Shao.

Upon closer inspection, there were still some differences. Although Chu Shao's eyes often had a hint of a smile, they always seemed to be shrouded in a thin mist, like river water. Although they were clear and transparent, they always seemed to be separated by a layer.

The other person who resembled Chu Shao did not give off this feeling and appeared to have more human warmth.

Xiao Jin first ruled out the possibility of the male lead being in unrequited love and then sought out the trope of a substitute.

After all, the Crown Prince's obsession with the country was clearly more important than a beautiful woman.

So, there was only one possibility left. Xiao Jin recalled the original plot while withdrawing her gaze.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned her head, she met Chu Shao's eyes.

Chu Shao supported her chin and smiled at Xiao Jin, her tone gentle and slow, "What is your Highness looking at?"

As Xiao Jin looked into Chu Shao's eyes, an inexplicable sense of guilt arose in her heart, and she coughed as a cover-up, "Nothing, just casually looking."

Fortunately, Chu Shao had noticed Xiao Jin looking elsewhere since earlier. So no matter how Xiao Jin responded, she could still turn her head to look at the person that Xiao Jin had been staring at for a long time.

What a coincidence.

When Chu Shao looked towards the seat next to the Crown Prince, the person sitting there just happened to raise their eyes and give a fleeting glance.

Through the fluttering multicolored flags, the two seemed to be gazing at each other and also admiring the ceremony together.

With so many people in the arena, it was nothing to just look at each other. However, their actions caught the attention of the people around them.

Xiao Jin observed Chu Shao's expression and found that apart from the initial surprise, she didn't have any other reactions. It was as if she wasn't surprised at all despite looking so much alike.

It didn't make sense.

As for the other woman in the blue dress, when she met Chu Shao's gaze, she just pursed her lips slightly, her eyes still shimmering with a gentle demeanor.

Xiao Jin looked at the woman's every move and almost suspected that she was trying to imitate Chu Shao.

Except for the occasional sense of oppression emanating from Chu Shao and her dangerous smile, she had imitated her perfectly.

As the three of them were lost in their own thoughts, the Crown Prince, who was sitting beside them, was not averse to the situation and even stood up, raising his cup to Xiao Jin with a smile. "Third brother, I respect you."

Xiao Jin sat expressionlessly in her wheelchair, raised her cup slightly, and replied.

At this point, Chu Shao had already moved her gaze away and said with a smile to Xiao Jin, "This Princess thought that Her Highness was watching the cavalry, but it turns out she was looking at the beauty."
