Chapter 13

In the next few days, Su Hailing lived a fairy-like life.

Haoyue can't talk sweetly, nor can she be gentle and considerate, but whenever she needs it, she can always see that solid figure appearing beside her, making her feel the warmth without words.

It's just that Zi Mo appeared less and less. The person who used to like to stick to her whenever she had a chance, now gave up most of the trivial matters to the world of mortals, and her pretty face became more and more lifeless day by day.

Su Hailing can only sigh secretly, hoping that time will dilute everything.

"Your Highness, what are you thinking?" Haoyue put the teacup on the stone table in the gazebo.

Su Hailing opened his eyes, grabbed his wrist and pulled him, and dragged him to the recliner, forming a long slanting shadow in the afterglow of the evening.

"Your Highness!" Haoyue quickly put one hand on the chair and stabilized her figure.

"Lie down with me obediently for a while." Su Hailing held his waist, stopping his struggle.

"What's wrong?" Haoyue asked quietly.

"I don't want Zhengjun." Su Hailing buried his head in his chest.

"Your Highness is talking nonsense again." Haoyue smiled lightly, "Your Highness will be crowned king next year, so naturally he will choose the rightful monarch. Hasn't Your Majesty already decreed that a night banquet will be held at Fenghexuan tonight?"

When Su Hailing heard this, his face immediately fell down: "Is it okay if you don't want it? You are enough for me."

"No." Haoyue blushed, "Young masters from all families will come tonight, I believe His Highness will definitely meet someone he likes."

Su Hailing sighed, sat up speechlessly, took a teacup and sipped lightly.the person I like?Probably someone the Queen likes!The people who can come to the banquet tonight are all selected by Su Xueling in advance, no matter which one she chooses, the result will not be different.

"It's almost time, Your Highness should go back to take a bath and change clothes now." Haoyue said, pulling her up.

"Understood." Su Hailing was dragged towards the room with a helpless expression.

"His Royal Highness is finally back!" Hong Chen, who was anxiously walking around the room holding his gown, finally let out a sigh of relief.

"There are no more simple clothes?" Su Hailing frowned when he saw the gorgeous palace dress full of jewels and tassels in his hand. Wouldn't he be tripped to death by himself when walking in this dress?
"But, this is the dress worn by the royal family to attend the banquet." Hong Chen wondered.

"Anyway, I don't want to wear this!" Su Hailing said without hesitation.

"Yue Shijun..." Hongchen looked at Haoyue to the side begging for help.

"Your Highness, please bear with me a little bit. This dress was sent by His Majesty." Haoyue said, took the dress from Hongchen's hand and unfolded it, and smiled again, "It's a big deal...remove some accessories."

Su Hailing pouted, knowing that he couldn't escape, he stretched out his arms reluctantly, letting them change his clothes.

However, in the end, she still insisted on taking the scissors, and almost removed all the pendants hanging from the dress. Of course, she also threw the heavy gold crown on her head to the corner, and replaced it with an elegant The jasper hairpin, hidden in the shiny black hair, is very conspicuous in green.

"Okay, Your Highness is so beautiful!" Hong Chen nodded in satisfaction.

Su Hailing stiffened her body, trying not to step on the long skirt with her feet.Since the court tailor was called last time and all the clothes were changed again, her clothes have been kept simple and neat, when did she wear such troublesome things!
Haoyue still wore a dark purple bodyguard uniform and followed her closely.

Su Hailing gave him a dissatisfied look, grabbed his hand, and pulled him to his side.

"Your Highness, this...is not proper." Haoyue said uncomfortably.

"What's the etiquette and disrespect? You are my servant, so naturally you want to be by my side." Su Hailing said involuntarily.

Haoyue sighed secretly, knowing that the princess was sometimes unreasonable, so she had to let her go to Fenghexuan under the protection of a team of guards led by Lu Tong.

As the last rays of the sun faded below the horizon, night gradually began to fall.

Fenghexuan is a palace built by the lake. Sitting in a semi-open water pavilion, looking out, the lake is covered with shades of green, lotus leaves cover the sky, and dotted with countless red, The pink and white flowers are vying for victory, delicate and charming.

When Su Hailing brought Haoyue into Fenghexuan, even Su Xueling had already arrived.

"Sister Hailing is the protagonist today, she came so late, she will be fined three cups in a while!" Su Yuling greeted her with a smile, as if nothing had happened before.

Thinking of this person actually giving him love potion, Su Hailing's teeth itch with hatred, but... Judging from the result, is it a blessing in disguise...

"See Lord An." Haoyue took a step back slightly and saluted.

"Lord Haoyue, you don't need to be too polite, oh, it's Yue Shijun now." Su Yuling glanced at him carefully and said.

"My little sister wants to see the imperial sister first, so I won't accompany you." Su Hailing moved his body to cover her sizing eyes, turned around and pulled Haoyue away.

Su Yuling was startled, his face darkened, and after a while he let out a sneer, and followed him in.

"Sister Huang." Su Hailing first saluted the empress who was sitting in the main seat, and then sat down in his own seat on the side.

"Hailing, look, there are so many masters, do you have a favorite?" Su Xueling took her hand and asked affectionately.

Su Hailing lowered his eyes, full of helplessness.

My lord...why can't you just imprison me in the cold palace like most novels do?Do you want to do so many things to show the empress' benevolence to the world?It's boring enough.

"Your Majesty, just looking at it this way, Hailing will be dazzled, right?" Su Jinling leaned forward and smiled, "Besides, it's boring to just give a banquet and reward lotuses, why don't you let the young masters come forward one by one to show off their talents? ?”

"Fourth sister is a good idea." Su Yuling also said, "I heard that the young master of Zuoxiang's mansion is both talented and beautiful, especially his ink painting, which has won the essence of the style of the master of handwriting and printing in China. Today is just a good time to let everyone open Open your eyes."

"Well, let's start with Mr. Qin." Su Xueling nodded, and ordered the servants around him to go down and inform the masters of each family to prepare.

Su Hailing just sneered secretly, the sisters sang together, did they really want that Qin Yuxuan to be her rightful monarch?It's a pity that no matter who she chooses, she won't choose him!
But suddenly received the imperial decree from the queen, the group of sons below immediately became flustered.

Several guards came in carrying painting tools, cleared a space in the center of the water pavilion, and arranged them one by one.

"Qin Yuxuan sees Your Majesty, Princess Ruiqing, Prince An, and Prince Jin." A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy came out of the crowd and knelt quietly at the bottom of the steps.

"Get up." Su Xueling raised his hand, and said kindly, "You can use the scenery of Fenghexuan as the theme for tonight."

"As ordered." Qin Yuxuan stood up and slowly raised his head.

Su Hailing's hand trembled, and a few drops of wine splashed out of the glass.

"Yuxuan is recognized as the number one beauty in the capital." Su Yuling smiled softly next to her ear.

"It's really good." Su Hailing quickly regained his composure.

"Yuxuan is showing his ugliness." Qin Yuxuan's voice was light and elegant, and his gestures exuded a strong bookish air, and his exquisite blue palace attire made his handsome face as gentle as jade.

Su Hailing couldn't help laughing at himself secretly, it's just... there is a little similarity.This Qin Yuxuan's appearance reminded her of her only younger brother Su Mo. Unfortunately, that first-class hot-blooded boy who skipped classes, fought and caused troubles would never become such an elegant temperament as Qin Yuxuan!

Holding his wine glass, Su Xueling looked at Qin Yuxuan, who was concentrating on painting, and at Su Hailing, who lowered his head thoughtfully, and nodded with satisfaction.

Just know, is there any woman in the world who can ignore Qin Yuxuan's charm?
