YM778.TV Chapter 43.1
The reason why the Green Wave Kingdom had such a festival stemmed back to a day sixteen years ago, when the Eternal Peace Duke Manor’s Princess Ning Feng was born. Just overnight, all the flowers in the city had bloomed, the birds rose in song. It was also in that year that the Emperor of the Green Wave Kingdom formally ascended to the throne. Having just a.s.sumed the highest seat in the lands and auspicious signs manifested one after another, with glad tidings flowing in endlessly. Hence, the Emperor liked Yan Ning Luo very much and he immediately decreed that she would be engaged to his eldest son in marriage after Yan Ning Luo was born.
Xuanyuan Che was just a child about four or five years old at that time and he suddenly found himself bound down by a girl he had never even met before. Because of that, he did not have the slightest sliver of liking towards Yan Ning Luo despite the fact that she was a prodigious woman who possessed both beauty and power.
Affinity and fate, were indeed things that worked in such mysterious ways.
Example in case, with the arrival of the Water Edge Kingdom’s delegation, the engaged couple Xuanyuan Che and Yan Ning Luo would most naturally have to be pushed together, where even her entrance into the palace had needed Xuanyuan Che to personally make a trip to the Eternal Peace Duke’s Manor to escort Yan Ning Luo inside.
It was a rare occasion that Qing Bei got a chance to change into a more formal royal blue brocade robe, his black hair bound up with a jade headpiece. The youth’s gentle air and graceful handsome countenance when paired together with that whole outfit, undoubtedly gave out an elegant flair of high n.o.bility, and if he were to walk out, he would surely have thousands and thousands of young ladies mesmerized by his handsome looks.
But when he opened the door of his room and saw Qing Yu wearing a white dress that could not be anymore plain and simple, he was highly taken aback for a moment before he said: "Sis, aren’t you going to change?"
The young lady over there was till lounging upon the lounge chair and bullying the poor little Snow Toad, her finger poking at its soft underbelly. "I had not wanted to attend a boring banquet like that in the first place so why would I need to dress myself up for it? I am not going there to steal the limelight you know?"
Qing Bei nodded, thinking that she was completely right. His sister was already so beautiful looking being herself and if she were to dress herself up to the nines, it was thought that she would surely draw trouble upon herself.
"Talking about you instead. Which young and innocent girl are you trying to hook dressing yourself up to look like that hmm?" Qing Yu said with a teasing smile. "I am only discovering today that our family’s Little Bei is blessed with such great looks! You always keep such a low profile, do you know with this transformation today you’ll be able to leave all the other young masters of royalty and n.o.bles trailing in your dust several streets behind?"
Qing Bei was at a loss for words. "....." He didn’t care for such insincere flattery.
Palanquins and sedan chairs were not allowed inside the Imperial Palace and everyone who came to attend the banquet had to alight at a place near the palace before making their way inside on foot.
"Did the two of you..... bring me here just to relieve yourselves of boredom?"
Finally unable to stand the uncomfortably quiet atmosphere any longer, Mu Chi opened his mouth to say morosely. Looking at Xuanyuan Che and Yan Ning Luo who said across each other, where one had eyes staring unwaveringly outside the window, the other with eyes closed in rest, face completely expressionless.
Mu Chi had not wanted to set foot inside the Imperial Palace at all as the place contained too many memories he did not want to recall. But as he had been too curious about that man of legend, he had come.
He swung his gaze over the two people in puzzlement. [Has these two people privately come to a secret agreement to get along peacefully?]
[But with them leaving him, a living person, hung out here to dry on his own..... Is that really appropriate?]
Mu Chi let out a helpless sigh. If he had known that it would turn out like this, he would not have come with them.
"Your Highness. We’re here at the Imperial Palace." The guard driving the carriage said outside the door.
Xuanyuan Che then opened his eyes, where a glint flashed very briefly, but faded away in a blink.
But Mu Chi had seen it clearly. [Completely besotted with cultivation as he had thought. He was even cultivating while his eyes were closed on the journey. From the way things looked now, it was thought that he was going to have to suffer big time in future.]
