the man who caught me asked, and I realized.
My first reaction was that my looks weren't bad, my second was that my voice was nice to listen to, and so on. My body subconsciously tensed up. This voice was the voice that I had just found unfamiliar.
My eyes locked onto the man in front of me. He had thick eyebrows, a sharp eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and thin lips.
"You are?" I looked at him curiously. I had indeed never seen him before.
"I am Yu Lin Wei's commander, Han Guang. This humble general greets the princess. " He cupped his hands in a military salute.
Yulin Wei, it seems to be the imperial guards, and also the emperor's bodyguard. Looks like the official is quite high, I thought to myself.
"You know me?" I'm surprised I've never seen him before.
"I am in charge of the security of the palace. I know everyone who has a high status and frequently goes in and out of the palace." Han Guang said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"Oh, so that's how it is, hello, my name is Xiang Yuxing." I smiled a friendly smile, kind of a greeting.
"Where is Commander Han going? He's in such a hurry." I asked deliberately. I tried to get something out of him, but I was disappointed.
"The envoys from the various countries are invited to the banquet today. The security in the palace is much stricter. I was just checking around to see if there were any places I missed out on. It was really a coincidence that I bumped into the princess just now. I didn't see clearly and apologized." Han Guang bowed again and cupped his fists.
"I didn't blame you, I was the one who didn't see the way just now, so I can't blame you. I still have to apologize to Commander Han. " I bowed a little, apologizing.
"Princess is serious."
"Princess, your subordinate still has to inspect other places. I'll take my leave first." Han Guang said, then turned and left.
I walked very fast and didn't even have the time to say anything. I looked at his hurried back and touched my nose. Am I that scary? Are I still that guilty? However, their conversation just now had mentioned that I couldn't be hurt.
"Who was that other person just now? From his tone, he should be above Han Guang, the commander of the imperial guards, Han Guang." I suddenly thought of something and shockingly covered my mouth.
Could it be that the other person was the Emperor?
That voice was similar to the Emperor's, but it was not the Emperor's voice. Furthermore, the Emperor was Han Guang's direct leader, he could have summoned him and given him orders, why did he have to go to so much trouble to go to such a secretive place to instruct me? There was no need.
I felt as if my thoughts had been thrown into disarray. I wanted to say something, but I couldn't figure it out.
I sighed helplessly and decided to give up. However, he recalled that they just mentioned something about Bai Jing.
It should be a treasure, or else I wouldn't have let them think so much about it. It seems like his mother left it for him, so I must tell Bai Jing to hide all the good stuff. He was just afraid that the thief would miss him.
"Princess, let's go in." Xia Shui whispered to me.
I went in with a grunt, but as soon as I went in I met the white scenery coming towards me, and his eyes lit up when he saw me.
"What's wrong?" He looked at me and thought something was wrong.
"I sent my sword to search for you, but I couldn't find you. I thought something bad had happened."
I smiled. "I was just taking a walk in the garden. I was delayed."
Bai Jing didn't say anything more. We walked back to the banquet side by side. By the end of the banquet, everyone's faces were a little drunk. Their laughter and chatter hadn't abated, but the enthusiasm from before was gone.
Everyone ate and drank until they were full.
He held the wine cup as he slowly tasted it, and there wasn't even a trace of drunkenness on his face. I almost suspected that the emperor's wine cup was wine, so how could he not get drunk? Could it be that he's the same as me, using fruit wine as a drink?
"Did the emperor leave just now?" I gently asked Bai Jing.
Bai Jing was curious about my question, but he still said, "No, the emperor has been sitting on it all this time."
Then that voice wouldn't be the Emperor, but not the Emperor. Who else could make the Commander of the Yu Lin Guards obey orders? Could it be that Han Guang had a second heart and another master?
"What are you thinking?" Bai Jing said nothing.
"I'll tell you later, I just made a shocking discovery in the Imperial Garden." I mysteriously smiled, intentionally keeping him in suspense.
Bai Jing only smiled and did not continue asking.
"Oh yeah, why were the people from Xuanyin Country looking for you?" I got bored and started a casual chat with Bai Jing.
"They want to marry into our country, and they ask me if I have a woman I like." Bai Jing looked at me playfully and said.
"I was so scared that I immediately spat out the fruit wine." "How dare you." I glared at Bai Jing.
"Of course I refused. I directly told them that I would not participate in any political marriage alliance, so they could be at ease." Bai Jing smiled as he took out a handkerchief and wiped the wine stains on the corner of my mouth.
I heaved a sigh of relief, "Your ability to attract bees and butterflies is getting more and more powerful, why is it that everyone wants to marry you?" I looked depressed.
Bai Jing smiled without saying anything. Picking up a prawn, he skillfully and gracefully started peeling the shell. I saw that Bai Jing was able to look so good even while peeling prawns, and suddenly lost his temper.
Anyone would be moved by such a good man, I thought, and suddenly felt that I was still lucky, because I had already accepted this man of the highest quality.
"What are you laughing about?" Bai Jing put the peeled prawn meat in my bowl. I picked up my chopsticks and started eating. He shook his head, indicating that it was nothing.
Bai Jing took the second prawn and began to peel it again. I waited quietly. I liked eating prawns, but I didn't like peeling the shell, so I rarely ate. It was a good pleasure to have someone peel the prawn for me.
What I didn't expect, however, was that my interaction with Bai Jing had stunned everyone around me.
The one who spoke was the envoy of the Xuanyin Country. Because they did not look too good, and we did not interact with each other, even after so many days, I still do not know who the Xuanyin Country is.
I heard that the Xuanyin Country's emperor is very old, then these two middle-aged men might actually be princes. Pitiful, we, the Emperor of China, might be the same age as their children, but in the end, they are already the rulers of a country.
After all, he was the one who wanted to propose marriage to Bai Jing just now.
Compared to his own daughter, if he wanted his daughter to climb up to the top, he could earn some face for himself in front of the emperor. Maybe he would be able to sit in that position once his father abdicated.
I looked at that person with disdain. I used my own daughter as my bargaining chip and shamelessly dared to say something to me …
"Naturally, we have deep feelings for each other. How can we compare to you? I see you two brothers, but I don't think we're close."
