Heavenly Sage Kingdom, Capital, Linglong Hall.
Queen Zhangsun sat on the Imperial Consort's chair, one hand on the table. Her main palace maid, Su He, held onto the rouge on her nails and painted it red.
"Chen Er, has everything been settled?"
"A Rong has already handed the metazoan flower over to the royal physician. If not for A Rong's help, I'm afraid I would have to spend a few more days to make this trip." Xuanyuan Chen stood by Queen Zhangsun's side, his expression full of respect and admiration.
"Qingqing is truly Huai Yue's daughter." Queen Zhangsun praised, her dignified and beautiful face was filled with yearning.
Emperor Xuanyuan took the metazoan flower medicine that the imperial doctors made, and then brought him towards the direction of Linglong Hall, meeting Xie Qingrong who was strolling leisurely.
"Little Xie, this time it's all thanks to the medicine you and Chen Er brought back. Otherwise, our body wouldn't have fully recovered." Although Emperor Xuanyuan's face was full of prestige, his eyes had a smile on them.
Although his face was still pale, his cheeks had already been dyed pink.
"Father, this is your son's duty." Xie Qingrong said indifferently as she walked beside Emperor Xuanyuan. She was not satisfied just because of what the Emperor had done.
Emperor Xuanyuan was very satisfied with Xie Qingrong's neither haughty nor humble attitude, he smiled and said: "It's almost time for lunch, the empress should have already prepared something good to eat, Xiao Xie and we will head out together."
"Yes." Coincidentally, she was also going to Queen Zhangsun.
Before he could step across the threshold of Linglong Hall, he heard the laughter of women coming from within the hall. Xie Qingrong already recognized that the voice was coming from Xuanyuan Changge. It seemed that after Xuanyuan Changge finished her lessons in the academy, she had already arrived at Linglong Hall.
"Zhang Ge, I could hear your laughter from the door. What are you all talking about? Let me have a good time too." The Emperor Xuanyuan laughed.
"Royal father, Changge is telling a joke. matriarch and royal brother like listening to Changge telling a joke to them. Xuanyuan Changge hugged onto Emperor Xuanyuan's arm, and pouted.
She already had a good appearance and beautiful features. When she was acting like a spoiled child, her eyes were sparkling, and it seemed as if a cunning ray of light flashed across her eyes.
"I like it, how can I not like it! Hahahahaha! "The Emperor Xuanyuan let Xuanyuan Changge hold his arm and walk towards the direction of the Queen Zhangsun.
The five of them ate their lunch in harmony.
During the banquet, Queen Zhangsun had released a bomb-like piece of news, shocking Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong greatly.
"A few days ago, I was bored, so I called Wen Yan to come talk to me. Unexpectedly, Wen Yan told me that she already has someone in her heart. Furthermore, her lover has already started to prepare a betrothal gift and is planning to go to Prime Minister's Estate to get a job. "
Xuanyuan Chen's hand that was holding onto the chopsticks trembled slightly. Due to his relationship with Xuanyuan Rui, he still had a lot of support for the Zhangsun family, but over the past few years, Zhangsun Wenyan seemed to have been worried to death by Xuanyuan Rui.
He never thought that after coming back this time, he would actually receive an unexpected harvest, and was a little curious as to who the man who could move Zhangsun Wenyan was.
"matriarch, do you know that person's name and family background?" Xuanyuan Chen raised his eyebrows and asked.
Queen Zhangsun shook her head. "I'm not sure."
The Emperor Xuanyuan used his chopsticks to place a delicately drunk shrimp on the plate of the Queen Zhangsun and smiled: "As long as Wen Yan and he truly likes it, no matter what kind of background or family background you have, it isn't important. After all, the Xuanyuan family owes Wen Yan. "
Xie Qingrong was silently eating, although it looked like it was none of her business, she had already made up her mind to meet Wen Yan's lover.
After receiving the Prince Chen's Mansion's message, Zhangsun Wenyan sat in his room and replied back with a pen in his hand.
It was clear that a few months ago, she had already resolved herself not to have any contact with this person.
But, why would she be unable to refrain from wanting to reply to him after receiving his letter?
He tightened his grip on the brush and finished writing the last word.
She had already seen the invitation that Xuanyuan Chen had sent her. No matter what happened, Li Chengrui and Xuanyuan Chen would eventually meet again.
In the private room on the second floor of Gourmet, Li Chengrui sat upright with a warm smile on his face. His slender fingers were pinching a porcelain cup of wine;
Xuanyuan Chen pushed open the door, and saw the man sitting before him raise his head slightly, revealing a smile towards him. The hand that was holding the door trembled slightly.
Royal brother.
Xuanyuan Chen opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to spit out two words, but he suddenly thought of something and swallowed it in the end.
Li Chengrui put down his wine cup, the smile on his face deepened, and a dark light of unknown meaning flashed past his eyes.
Seeing that Xuanyuan Chen was standing motionlessly at the door, Xie Qingrong seemed to have lost her composure and pulled on his sleeve without batting an eyelid. Only then did Xuanyuan Chen regain his senses and he smiled.
He said with a smile, "This King didn't come late, did he?"
As he held Xie Qingrong's hand and entered the private room, he did not sit in the seat opposite of the two, instead, he stuck close to Li Chengrui and sat down.
He had to figure out what was going on!
Why does this man look so similar to his royal brother Xuanyuan Rui? Previously, he found out that Xuanyuan Jing had once secretly sent someone to put Xuanyuan Rui in a trap.
When he found out about it, he didn't pay it any mind.
In the end, Xuanyuan Chen was unable to force his way through the palace, and he did not try to find out anything about it. However, he did not expect that there would actually be someone in this world who looked no different from his royal brother!
Just that, he did not know the reason for him getting close to Zhangsun Wenyan!
Xuanyuan Chen watched Li Chengrui's every move without batting an eyelid. Little did he know, Li Chengrui was also secretly observing Xuanyuan Chen's every move.
He took in all his actions, including the one he had lost his composure earlier.
Xie Qingrong and Xuanyuan Chen had been together for almost eight months, and she already understood Xuanyuan Chen's thoughts and actions.
He was the first to break the awkward situation, raising his wine cup, he saluted Li Chengrui, "I believe Wen Yan and this Young Noble have been waiting for a long time, if you do, I will pay your respects to you."
Li Chengrui looked at Xie Qingrong's natural demeanor, glanced at Xuanyuan Chen who was trying his best to act indifferent, and laughed playfully. He held his wine cup and laughed: "Prince Chen and Princess Consort Chen have esteemed status, this humble subject has the honor of meeting you today, it is truly an honour to meet you."
After the two of them finished all the wine in their cups, Xie Qingrong smirked and laughed lightly: "I guess this young master doesn't like to hear too much talk, so this I will be frank. May I know your name, where you live, and what your background is? "
Li Chengrui smiled as he stroked his forehead. Seeing Li Chengrui holding onto his forehead, Xuanyuan Chen's heart was slightly startled, the hand holding onto his wine cup tightened, the action of holding onto his forehead was extremely similar to how his royal brother looked.
