"The roses are so ugly. The flowers my brother gave me are prettier..."
Su Yuxi muttered softly, but Jingzhe tactfully shut his mouth and heard nothing.
"What about my brother?" Su Yuxi asked softly, "Did anyone find anyone sneaking into the Sky City?"
"Yes!" Jingzhe's answer was concise and to the point. The Sky City had a special status, and it would be extremely difficult for any force to infiltrate it. However, outside the Sky City, one could always find clues of some intruders.
Su Yuxi was not surprised. The Xuanqing Empire was plagued by internal and external troubles, and there were too many forces that wanted to bring about the collapse of this country. Therefore, it was normal for the Sky City, which was jointly managed by human powers, to open a backdoor to certain people.
But they only dared to open the back door and did not dare to expose Su Yuchen's relationship. The identity of the Prince of Chang'an was exposed in the open, and if they wanted to take action against him, they would need to consider many influences and consequences.
Therefore, they would not expose Su Yuchen's identity. In this way, if they killed him, they could just find an excuse of "manslaughter by mistake" to get away with it.
"You're asking for your own death and you can't blame others, right?" Su Yuxi snorted coldly.
"Yes!" Jingzhe lowered his eyes slightly. No one could kill His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Tuk-tuk-tuk.
"Enter!"
The maid Xia Zhi, who was in charge of Su Yuxi's daily life, came in, bowed and said softly, "Princess, it's time to wash up, change clothes, and get ready to go."
"Yeah." Su Yuxi pursed her lips, excitement flashing in her eyes - not because of the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, but because of the reward from her brother afterwards.
She was so curious about what kind of surprise reward her brother would give her.
As for whether I can succeed at the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner... humph, with the buff of the surprise reward given by my brother, how can I fail?
……
"Brother Yuchen, this is an invitation letter, please don't lose it."
"Everyone should have one. If you lose one, you won't be able to get in even if Tia helps you." Phyllis snorted coldly.
"If it's lost, then don't go." Su Yuchen muttered softly. Phyllis's eyes jumped. If he didn't go, Tia would definitely not come either...
Fuck!
Phyllis's expression darkened. In order to prevent this weak and frail man from making trouble and not coming, she informed the doorman in advance not to check this guy's invitation letter.
"Junior Brother Yuchen is not that careless, right?" Christia blinked at Su Yuchen.
"Yeah." Su Yuchen nodded.
"Well, see you tonight." Christia waved at him. After all, she still had to go back and change into a more formal dress.
"Senior Tia, see you tonight." Su Yuchen looked expectant of her evening outfit, and his tone was a little excited.
"OK Bye Bye."
"Let's go quickly. If you have anything you want to talk about, we can talk tonight..." Phyllis pulled Christia and turned to leave. She really hoped that Tia was also a vampire, so that she would not be interested in such a weak man.
Su Yuchen retracted his gaze, breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the clothes he bought, put the invitation letter in his pocket, and walked towards home.
The invitation would be lost - he was prepared for this, but he was not worried.
Phyllis wanted senior Tia to attend the party so much, she would definitely not refuse her entry just because she didn't have an invitation.
Otherwise, she would not be able to achieve her goal.
"The noble lady of the Xia clan doesn't know Senior Tia... There should be a lot of vampires tonight. Let's see if we can find out which clan she is from."
Su Yuchen walked and thought, between the Crescent Moon Clan and the Yexi Clan, which side would she be on?
Chapter 51: A Party Where Cell Phones Are Not Allowed
In Sheng'an City, temporary traffic control is implemented around the Imperial Capital Hotel, which is controlled by the Imperial Household.
The setting sun shines on the sky in the evening, and the neon lights of the city flicker, reflecting the prosperity of the imperial capital. One after another, low-key but luxurious cars drive in and stop in front of the red carpet in front of the main entrance of the Imperial Capital Hotel.
The Xuanqing Empire has been established for 290 years. As a country with a long cultural history, it regularly holds many traditional activities and evening parties, and the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner is one of the highest-level dinners.
The young masters and young ladies of aristocratic families are just the "side dishes" of this dinner party, and the superiors who hold national power are the protagonists of the party.
Because this is a party hosted by the imperial family, and because the country's supreme rulers Emperor Xuan'an and the Empress will attend the party.
Su Yuxi walked into the banquet hall with a long trench coat draped over her arms, a dark blue long-sleeved, knee-length evening dress paired with dark blue high heels, showing her dignified, noble and elegant temperament.
Compared to other women, her evening dress was undoubtedly conservative, not revealing her shoulders, back, collarbone...even her arms were not exposed.
Despite this, she still attracted most people's attention the moment she walked in.
Her dignified and beautiful appearance is secondary; those in power are more concerned about the power she represents.
The northern border of Chang'an State covers millions of square kilometers of territory, half a million northern troops, defenders of the northern border, and... the leader of the royalist party.
The power represented by a girl who is only seventeen years old is too great, and she herself is extremely talented. At a young age, she has demonstrated the skills and ability to handle political and military affairs with ease. Among the outstanding talents of her peers, she is undoubtedly one of the best.
Therefore, her appearance in this occasion means that she will not have too much contact with people of the same generation... unless the other party also holds a certain amount of real power.
"Good evening, Your Highness."
"Your Highness the Princess..."
Although she is not the daughter of a prince of the imperial family, Su Yuxi still has the title of "Princess" canonized by Emperor Xuan, and is the only princess of a different surname among all the kings of different surnames in the Xuanqing Empire who has this title.
Su Yuxi walked gracefully and nodded in response with a smile... For her brother's surprise reward, even if she didn't like this kind of dinner, she had to try hard to keep smiling.
After a brief greeting, Su Yuxi came to the sofa in the corner, pulled the back of her dark blue dress forward with both hands, and then sat on the sofa.
With his hands lightly placed on his thighs, Su Yuxi looked at the people who were talking in low voices in the luxurious banquet hall. The crystal lights illuminated everyone's face, showing their aristocratic demeanor as gentle as jade.
Su Yuxi lowered her eyelids slightly, reached into the pocket of her windbreaker to keep warm, fumbled for her cell phone, plugged in the earphones and started playing the recorded "Brother's Quotes".
In this slightly luxurious environment, my brother's voice was like a spring breeze that engulfed me, making all the pores in my body open up.
"As expected of Her Royal Highness, you are the Princess. You have to listen to reports on such an occasion. It is not unreasonable for you to manage the North in an orderly manner."
"I heard that the monsters in the north [Seven Corners Alliance] are preparing to launch another offensive before winter. They should be listening to these things."
"With the King of Chang'an and the 'Flame Bearer' in the North, the Seven-Cornered Alliance cannot attack."
"That also requires the princess's overall planning. Sigh, you said that the prince has contributed so much to this country, why didn't he take anything back..."
"Be careful!"
"I see... I'm really curious whether the information Your Highness is hearing now is important or not."
"It must be very important for the princess to handle it personally..."
The banquet hall was very warm. Su Yuxi opened her eyes slightly, covered her legs with her long windbreaker, and pressed her fingers on the screen of her mobile phone with ease, replaying the voice of her brother who was scolding her.
Although it is a very happy thing to be praised by my brother, it also feels good to be scolded by him occasionally.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth but quickly disappeared. Su Yuxi lowered his head slightly, looking a little out of place with the clinking of glasses.
"Your Highness smiled. It seems that the situation is still under control and has even been resolved."
"The North has been impregnable for the past ten years. How could there be any problem?"
"What's more, nowadays, the trouble may not be caused by external threats..."
"Your Majesty is here!"
With a slightly sharp voice, the sounds in the banquet hall fell silent, some people straightened their appearance, some stood up...
They looked towards the entrance of the banquet hall and stood solemnly waiting for the arrival of the country's supreme ruler.
Su Yuxi took off his headphones and put them back in the pocket of his windbreaker, then gently placed the windbreaker on the sofa, stood up and faced the entrance of the banquet hall.
My brother should be preparing to attend the party now, right? But...his mind must be on me.
"Yuxi, you can't embarrass your brother. Come on!"
……
Sky City, which is a special zone city, does not belong to the territory of any country. Therefore, except for students who were born and raised in Sky City, college students studying in Sky University can be considered international students.
Nearing eight o'clock in the evening, the neon lights of the Sky City formed a sharp contrast with the gloomy sky, and there were faint rumblings of thunder and howling autumn winds.
Su Yuchen sighed as he was walking. No wonder he didn't encounter any "misfortune" along the way. It turned out that a heavy rain was brewing - he didn't bring an umbrella.
Fortunately, we arrived at the party venue, the Rose Garden Hotel, before it rained.
"Brother Yuchen, this way!"
Christia walked towards Su Yuchen while waving, which made Phyllis pout, but she also felt relieved.
Fortunately this guy came, otherwise Tia, who came early but didn't go in, would definitely be ready to leave at any time.
Su Yuchen looked up, his eyes brightening slightly. In his sight, Senior Sister Tia's slightly curly golden long hair fell naturally in front of her chest. Her skin was whiter than snow against the black evening dress, like a blooming white lotus. Her white and slender legs blossomed with silent temptation under the black dress skirt.
It’s just a pity that she was wearing a coat, so the entire evening dress could not be seen.
"Are you stunned?" Looking at Su Yuchen's straight eyes, Cristia flicked his forehead with her fingers: "Aren't you used to it yet?"
"Senior Tia is very different from usual." Su Yuchen whispered, "She is, very beautiful."
"You mean I'm not pretty enough?"
"No, no, no." Su Yuchen shook his head quickly. Cristiana had already taken his arm and said, "Let's talk inside. It's really cold tonight... It's raining. Let's go."
Stepping onto the red carpeted steps and reaching the hotel entrance, Phyllis reached out to stop Su Yuchen.
"Brother Yuchen, did you lose the invitation letter?"
"No."
When Su Yuchen was about to take it out——
"No invitation required." Phyllis looked at the two with a smile, "You can't bring your cell phone in."
???
Su Yuchen looked at her in surprise. You really want to have a silver party? ?
……
Chapter 52 The Party is Not Serious
“You can’t bring your cell phone in?”
"Yes." Phyllis looked at Su Yuchen with a smile: "This is the rule here. You can ask Tia."
Su Yuchen turned his head to look at Tia, who rolled her eyes at Phyllis: "You brought this rule here?"
"There's nothing I can do. Privacy is very important." Phyllis smiled proudly.
"Junior Yuchen, give her the phone." Tia pinched his arm, indicating that there would be no problem.
"Oh." Su Yuchen took out his cell phone and handed it to Phyllis... It didn't matter whether it was a silver party or not, and it didn't matter what Phyllis was planning.
She might think she is omnipotent in the party, but from the beginning, she did not anticipate the power of him and Senior Tia.
"Junior Yuchen is very well behaved." Phyllis looked at Su Yuchen with a smile: "I hope you can get along well with everyone."
She emphasized the word "get along". Su Yuchen smiled and said, "Senior Phyllis, I can still speak some Western languages."
"Oh, that's quite impressive." Phyllis made an inviting gesture: "You two, please come in."
Su Yuchen took a step forward. Christia, who was holding his arm, turned her head and looked at Su Yuchen. He was not at all nervous in such occasions and seemed to have participated in them before.
We took the elevator to the banquet hall on the top floor without any surprises. On the walls on both sides of the gorgeous red carpet, there were Western-style murals, mostly Gothic. Under the slightly dark red light, there was an eerie atmosphere.
"I thought Junior Yuchen would be nervous."
Su Yuchen smiled shyly: "It's not like I'm a girl at the party, I won't be nervous."
Christia moved closer to Su Yuchen, with her little pomelo's side pressed against his arm. Feeling Su Yuchen's gradually stiffening body and messy steps, she chuckled and said, "Does Senior Sister look good?"
Wearing high heels, Christia was almost as tall as Su Yuchen. With a quick glance, he could vaguely see a shallow seam through the tulle on the chest of her black evening dress: "It looks good."
"I'm still wearing a windbreaker, can you tell?"
"Senior sister, you look good in anything you wear." Su Yuchen said in a low voice.
"You don't stutter today, is it because you are in this kind of situation?"
Su Yuchen was about to raise his hand to scratch his hair, but Cristiana immediately glared at him and said, "Get rid of this habit."
