Chapter 546: Your Highness is a very handsome man, but Your Majesty is still charming too (2)
The vermilion palace walls are solemn and majestic, and the glazed tiles glow golden in the sunset.
Because there were many people attending the banquet, the banquet was held in the Imperial Garden. Dozens of rosewood tables had already been neatly arranged, and each table was placed with gold-plated silver items, sparkling under the pearly light.
A variety of dishes were placed on the table, making people salivate.
Hundreds of palace lanterns were hung on the palace roads on both sides, and the swaying lights illuminated the entire imperial garden as if it were daytime.
Right in front of the banquet stood a gilded throne with carved dragons and painted phoenixes, with four armored guards standing on each side.
Behind the throne was a huge screen embroidered with a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix. The eyes of each bird were inlaid with pearls, glowing softly under the candlelight.
Shen Zuixue was dressed in red, with a silver bell on her waist making crisp sounds from time to time, which made her stand out from the crowd with the other children of officials dressed in gorgeous clothes.
However, he did not notice this and was still instructing Shen Wuran beside him.
"Ranran, don't think too much, brother will take care of everything."
"Okay, brother, I'll listen to you." Shen Wuran came back to his senses and said with a smile.
She was wrong before. That group of people are simply ruthless. It would be better to believe that her mother can establish herself than to believe that they will let her go.
My mother only has that scumbag father in her heart. It is not easy for her brother to raise her as a child. If she does this, not only will she be in danger, but her brother will also be hurt.
Shen Zuixue knew that Shen Wuran was an obedient person. He said he would not act on his own and he really meant it. Otherwise, he would not have pulled her aside yesterday and asked her to make a promise.
Shen Zuixue looked around and saw envoys and ministers chatting everywhere. They were all calculating while drinking and chatting, which made him lose interest immediately.
"It's already so late, why hasn't the banquet started yet?" Shen Zuixue touched her belly and complained.
"I heard that usually this kind of banquet will not start until the Emperor of Da Mo arrives." The servant who followed him quickly replied.
In order to gain the qualification to come to the Central Plains to pay homage to the Holy Son, he had put in a lot of effort. It could be said that he now understood 80 percent of the etiquette and rules of the Central Plains.
"Then when will he arrive?" Shen Zuixue had a blank expression. For someone who likes the Central Plains cuisine, it feels really bad to look at the delicious food but not be able to eat it!
The servant touched his head and said, "He should be the last one to arrive." It is said that the emperors of Central Plains are very concerned about their dignity. Although I don't understand why they would be so majestic when they appear last, maybe they just like the feeling of being waited for.
Shen Zuixue: ...
Just as he was about to speak, Shen Zuixue heard a commotion among the crowd, and then a clear voice seemed to pour into his ears. Suddenly, half of his body went numb, and he no longer remembered the boredom he had just felt.
Turning around, I saw a group of people surrounding a young man in a moon-white brocade robe. The young man was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, skin as white as snow, a pair of phoenix eyes with a hint of smile, and a warm feeling in his every move. The mutton-fat white jade tied around his waist swayed gently with his steps, shining brightly under the palace lanterns.
The young man walked calmly to his seat. Shen Zuixue could even smell the faint cold fragrance on him as he passed by.
"Sure enough, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is truly a rare handsome man. His demeanor is also extraordinary. He is worthy of being one of the two beauties famous throughout the world." The servant sighed.
Shen Zuixue glanced at him after hearing this, paused, and said, "He is indeed good-looking. I have decided. I will take him back to Miaojiang to be my husband!"
"Ah?" The servant and Shen Wuran who was standing next to him didn't expect that he would fall in love with Yan Sui at first sight.
The problem is, this isn't someone you can just kidnap!
This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Da Mo. The current emperor has no concubines in his harem and only has this one child. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the future heir of Da Mo.
If they want to kidnap the future heir of Da Mo, their Holy Son/brother should be beaten, right?
***
Facts have proved that no one can persuade Shen Zuixue to do what she wants to do, not even her own sister Shen Wuran.
The night was dark, and the window of the East Palace's bedroom seemed to be blown open a crack by a breeze. The quiet room was filled with mist and the candlelight flickered.
Shen Zuixue held her breath, gently opened the window, and tried to see the scene inside the hall clearly.
I saw that the Crown Prince, who had just been calm and serious in mediating among the ministers at the banquet, had changed out of his brocade clothes and was soaking in the bathtub wearing only his undershirt. He was leaning against the wall of the bathtub, his long black hair was wet and softly draped over his shoulders, water droplets slid down his slender neck, rubbed his collarbone, and sank into the water.
The surface of the water is covered with scattered petals, half-hiding the scenery below, which makes it more charming and makes people eager to see it more clearly.
Yan Sui closed his eyes slightly, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had thought of something interesting.
Suddenly, Yan Sui seemed to have noticed something. He raised his eyes slightly and glanced towards the window.
Shen Zuixue was startled and quickly shrank back, his heart beating like a drum. He held his breath, fearing that Yan Sui would discover that he was peeking.
Although his original intention was not to peek at him taking a shower, it would be difficult to explain if he was caught like this.
After a moment, Yan Sui withdrew his gaze and continued to bathe with his head down, as if his previous action was just unintentional.
Shen Zuixue breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little annoyed.
"Shen Zuixue, Shen Zuixue, why are you so cowardly? You came here just to tease him, okay!" He whispered to himself, as if to cheer himself up.
After calming himself down, Shen Zuixue moved closer to the window again, and saw Yan Sui curling his lips into a smile. Suddenly, he raised his hand lightly, and his fingertips brushed across the water, causing ripples.
Shen Zuixue's heart was beating like a drum, and her ears were so red that blood seemed to be dripping out. She felt that her heart was rippling with the waves and could not calm down for a long time.
His heart was beating like a drum and his fingers unconsciously gripped the window frame. Although it was the first time they met, he felt as if he had known him for a long time.
Maybe this is love at first sight, a match made in heaven?
Thinking of this, Shen Zuixue hesitated whether to sneak in today. It would be bad if she scared Yan Sui.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew from behind Shen Zuixue. Before he could react, a big hand covered his mouth and nose, and he was picked up sideways and quickly moved away from the window.
Almost in an instant, Yan Sui stood up from the bathtub, water droplets sliding down his skin. He grabbed a robe and put it on, walked quickly to the window, and opened the window with his slender fingers. He looked out the window at the empty window with his phoenix eyes, and his eyes were very cold.
"Someone, come! Go to the Qianqing Palace!"
Very good, he made a mistake this time. He didn’t expect that the old man was even more shameless than he thought!
It was obvious that the little guy fell in love with him first!
