C236 testing people's heart

Usually, before the banquet, Xuanyuan Chen would go to the General's Estate in advance to wait for Xie Qingrong to finish dressing up before heading to the Imperial Palace with her.

However, today, he no longer needed to go to the General's Estate and wait for his A Rong.

Because his A Rong was already lying in her arms.

It was early in the morning and the sun was just about to rise when the first rays of light appeared from the clouds.

Xuanyuan Chen specifically sued Emperor Xuanyuan yesterday and pushed the morning assembly.

Because she was sleeping, her face still carried a trace of sweet sleepiness. There were two blush on her cheeks, but they were like flowers that had just bloomed, revealing her alluring beauty, causing people to be unable to shift their gaze away.

Xuanyuan Chen stroked the long hair that Xie Qingrong had pushed down to his ears due to sleeping, and accidentally touched her soft face that was as smooth as an egg. There were almost no pores on her fair face, and her skin was fine and shiny.

Xuanyuan Chen pinched it again and again, with great fondness.

From the moment Xuanyuan Chen's gentle gaze fell on him, Xie Qingrong had already woken up. She only wanted to see what Xuanyuan Chen wanted to do by staring at her.

However, she didn't expect him to be so addictive as to pinch her smooth and tender cheeks.

He woke up when he was caught off guard.

However, she didn't know that when she drowsily opened her eyes, her eyes were as clear and tender as a deer's. Xuanyuan Chen's lovey eyes instantly changed, and became deep and unfathomable.

It was like a black whirlpool that could be accidentally sucked in with just a glance.

She kissed him on the corner of his lips. Her original intention was only to take revenge on Xuanyuan Chen; after all, he took quite a advantage of her just now!

But he didn't expect that!

Xuanyuan Chen actually turned the tables around, his big palm grabbing the back of her head, his other hand tightly grabbing onto her waist and pressing down on his body.

The crimson colored thin lip stuck onto Xie Qingrong's cherry lips and gently caressed them for a while. The tip of its tongue lightly licked across Xie Qingrong's tightly shut lips, feeling a little itchy.

Xie Qingrong accidentally opened his mouth wide, and Xuanyuan Chen's tongue found the right opportunity to slip into Xie Qingrong's mouth.

Absorb all the liquid in her mouth.

After a long time, when the kiss ended, Xie Qingrong opened her tightly shut eyes. Her cherry lips were red and swollen, and still carried a trace of pain. Xie Qingrong shot a rebuking glance at Xuanyuan Chen, and when he wasn't paying attention, she kicked him down to the ground.

He sneered, "You were in heat early in the morning. Serves you right."

Xuanyuan Chen crawled up from the ground in a slow and unhurried manner, adjusted his clothes, and said with a chuckle: "A Rong, I'll wait for you outside the door."

Xie Qingrong did not ask Nuan Xiang and Wen Yu for help. She simply put on a set of clothes, combed his long hair, tied his hair up in a clean and refreshing bun, and inserted a jade hairpin before leaving the room.

When Xuanyuan Chen appeared together with Xie Qingrong in the palace feast, everyone's eyes were tightly locked onto the two. After all, they all knew in their hearts what palace feast's goal was this time.

The first was to congratulate Xuanyuan Chen on bestowing the title of Crown Prince.

This second place was to let Xuanyuan Chen choose a lateral consort.

As a result, all the noble daughters of noble clans, noble families and officials all ordered people to dress up. They had to make sure that they would be able to see the future Crown Prince in the most perfect manner.

In a short while, the entire palace was filled with colorful flowers and a thousand beauties. It was bustling with noise and excitement.

Xie Qingrong walked into the palace, and even suspected that she walked into the wrong place, why were all the girls here today dressed in red and green?

Xuanyuan Chen knew the reason in his heart, but he did not explain it to Xie Qingrong, but he believed that his A Rong would definitely understand the reason behind the banquet.

Then, what would A Rong do next? I'm really looking forward to it.

All the women's gazes were focused on Xuanyuan Chen, but Xuanyuan Chen remained indifferent to them, and even turned a blind eye to them.

He slowly enjoyed the royal wine.

Xie Qingrong frowned as she looked at the girls in the arena. Although there were usually eyes that looked at Xuanyuan Chen with adoration, he was not like today, bold and passionate.

Could it be that there was a reason behind all of this?

A lady dressed in yellow palace attire slowly approached Xuanyuan Chen with a cup in hand. She gave a slight bow, and with a graceful posture, she smiled sweetly, "maidservant has heard that your majesty is extraordinary and unordinary. Here's a toast to the prince. "

Seeing that a woman was approaching and hearing her words, Xie Qingrong laughed inwardly. She squinted her eyes at Xuanyuan Chen, wanting to see how Xuanyuan Chen would respond.

After Xuanyuan Chen finished all the wine in the cup, Weiwei raised her head and looked at the shy girl in front of her.

Moreover, his own A Rong was watching him from the side, so no matter what, he had to show off.

With a faint smile, he said, "This King never drinks wine passed to him by others."

With a single sentence, it broke this girl's train of thoughts, and she looked at Xuanyuan Chen with her watery eyes, as though Xuanyuan Chen's words had dealt a huge blow to her. With her delicate and pitiful appearance, many of the men present could not help but feel pity for her.

Xie Qingrong looked at Xuanyuan Chen, who was by her side and asked for rewards, and laughed. She poured his own wine cup and handed it over to Xuanyuan Chen.

Xuanyuan Chen immediately drank a bit of the wine in Xie Qingrong's hands without any resentment in his heart.

The lady's face immediately became pale, glared at Xie Qingrong, and turned to leave.

Everyone finally understood that Prince Chen only drank the wine handed over by Princess Consort Chen!

This action beat the minds of the girls in the arena. Some of the girls immediately had thoughts of retreating, but there were some who instead had the desire to conquer their hearts.

If he could squeeze Xie Qingrong out and get the prince's favor, then the person who would be treated like this would be himself.

Xie Qingrong naturally understood that Xuanyuan Chen's actions just now was only to take the chance to strike him down, but she had become the target of everyone just like that.

Raising an eyebrow, he glanced sideways at Xuanyuan Che with a smile that was not a smile. Don't think that she didn't know what Xuanyuan Chen was thinking, but it was good too, as there were fewer people coveting him.

It seemed that the real reason for today's banquet was to choose an imperial concubine for Xuanyuan Chen.

Humph!

Xie Qingrong looked at these eager girls who were not willing to give up, and then looked at the man who was luring bees and butterflies next to him, and sneered in his heart.

Duan Ling Tian walked out of the hall without paying any attention to the bustling environment within.

She didn't like this kind of situation in the first place. If it wasn't for Xuanyuan Chen, she would have refused to go to such an occasion.

A lady from the Shangguan family who was secretly observing the situation saw Xie Qingrong leaving Xuanyuan Chen behind and left the hall. She was filled with suspicions, but at the same time, she was secretly pleased.

It seemed that the harmony between Prince Chen and himself wasn't as harmonious as the others had imagined.
