Xiao Yue did not know what had happened between Liu Ruo Qing and her, but she was not stupid. Between this couple, the atmosphere was really weird these past few days, how could she not feel it?
After thinking about it, other than the matter with Princess Yun Ai, she could not think of anything else that would cause a conflict between the princess and the king.
Liu Ruo Qing heard Xiao Yue's playful words, and lightly pulled the corner of her mouth, not saying a word.
Because, whenever she mentioned Yan Yuan, she would involuntarily think of that hug and remember his painful and drunken look. Just thinking of it caused her heart to feel so much pain.
"Hurry up and leave. It's already past the halfway mark. If you keep delaying, you'll be late to the palace."
Liu Ruo Qing didn't want to linger on this topic, so she pulled Xiao Yue and walked quickly towards the Duke Palaces.
Since it was a palace banquet, they had to go through some dressing up. Fortunately, Xiao Yue was skillful and quick, so in less than an hour, they were all dressed up.
Xiao Yue took out the palace feast uniform she had prepared and put it on Liu Ruo Qing. Compared to the amiable owner outside, Liu Ruo Qing seemed to have the bearing of a Crown Princess Jing.
"Alright, princess, you look really good."
Xiao Yue looked at Liu Ruo Qing and sighed sincerely.
"Stop teasing me so much. No matter how good-looking I am, I can still …" Can I be more beautiful than you? "
Liu Ruo Qing originally wanted to say "Divine Martial Yun Ai," but she realized that she cared too much about Yun Ai's existence. She couldn't help but frown and turn her attention to Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue did indeed have a face that was not one bit inferior to Yun Jiao Rong's, but just that, she had always been dressed as a servant.
But Xiao Yue's face, even if one stood in the crowd, could still be seen with a single glance.
It was no wonder that the Crown Prince of the King Wei had taken a fancy to her in the restaurant and wanted to take liberties with her.
Xiao Yue's face flushed red, "Princess, you're teasing me again."
"Alright."
Liu Ruo Qing laughed, and brought Xiao Yue to the outside, "It's about time to enter the palace, are the carriages ready?"
"This servant will go out and ask the butler."
"Alright."
Xiao Yue came out from her room and went downstairs. Just as sshe walked out of the East Garden, he saw Yan Yuan walking in from the entrance of the Duke Palace.
Obviously, Yan Yuan had also seen her, and his eyes instantly lit up.
Since Xiao Yue had returned to the Duke Palaces, did that mean that woman had also...
"Your servant greets Your Highness."
"Yes."
Yan Yuan answered with a heavy voice, his gaze intentionally or unintentionally looking towards the East Garden, his gaze was extremely obvious, not concealing anything in the least.
Xiao Yue covered her mouth and laughed secretly. Without waiting for Yan Yuan to ask, she spoke: "Your highness, the princess has sent me to ask about the preparations for the carriage, I will take my leave first."
"Mm, you can leave now."
Sure enough, she was back.
After so many days, he was about to go crazy from the torture.
In Yan Yuan's heart, he was somewhat angry at Liu Ruo Qing, but he couldn't help but deny that such anger was far worse than his longing for her.
Angele stood outside the door and thought for a while before he stepped into the house.
He walked along the stairs and arrived outside the door.
Outside, Liu Ruo Qing heard the sound of footsteps, she thought it was Xiao Yue, then opened the door and walked out, "How was it, Xiao Yue, is the carriage ready?"
She tidied up her golden silk embroidered clothes as she raised her head to meet the pair of dark and burning eyes.
Liu Ruo Qing's heart spasmed violently. When she looked at Yan Yuan's eyes, that feeling of suffocation that she had felt for the past few days assaulted him once again.
"Your Highness."
She nodded slightly and greeted him with an extremely calm tone. In this serenity, there was an insufferable distance and indifference.
After calmly greeting him like this, Liu Ruo Qing went around his body and prepared to walk downstairs. The moment his arm brushed past Yan Yuan's shoulder, he was pulled.
He wrapped her slightly cold hands tightly in his warm and wide palms. He lowered his head and looked at her who was dodging. He opened his mouth and said in a low voice, "Very beautiful."
Liu Ruo Qing was startled, then she understood that he was talking about her dressing today.
Actually, she didn't really like being dressed up like this, but to attend the palace banquet, she had to be serious. Thus, she had to let nature take its course.
However, apart from the palace banquet, she usually dressed very casually even when she entered the palace. It was rare for her to dress in such a grand manner.
Being praised by Yan Yuan in such a way was something that made him uncomfortable and unaccustomed to it.
Her eyes flashed, and a bit of bitterness appeared in her eyes. The feeling of Yan Yuan holding his hand in his palm, even though it had only been less than half a month, it had actually made her feel as if it had been a lifetime.
She stood there in silence, stifled, her eyes growing bitter.
"Mm, thank you."
Her voice was a little hoarse.
His hand was about to leave Yan Yuan's hand, but he held it tightly.
She frowned, annoyed. She tried to pull her hand away from Yan Yuan's, but he grabbed her even more tightly.
She took a deep breath, forcefully forcing the liquid in her eyes back. Gritting her teeth, she looked at Yan Yuan and smiled lightly. If I enter the palace and see Princess Yun Ai, wouldn't I have to stay in the palace forever? "
She repeatedly warned herself not to be too concerned about the Divine Martial Realm in front of Yan Yuan, including everyone else, but the moment she opened her mouth, she could not control herself.
He was a little jealous and a little jealous. No matter how much he tried to restrain himself, it was useless.
Yan Yuan's brows furrowed, a trace of helplessness and annoyance flowing through his eyes.
"Yun Ai and I are really not what you think."
"Is that so? What does Your Highness think I am thinking? It's not enough to hug each other. We have to go to bed. "
Her tone was a bit aggressive, and her words became even more sloppy.
Yan Yuan's face darkened, a fire burning in his eyes.
However, that hug this afternoon …
Although he didn't have the heart to do so, nor was he the one who took the initiative, the fact that she had seen him in action really made him feel like he was in the wrong.
At least he should be happy. She was angry about it.
At least, she wasn't indifferent.
Helplessly sighing, he patiently continued, "How do you want me to explain this to you before you believe that I really don't have anything to do with Yun Ai?"
He looked at her with a sincere gaze which was scorching hot yet firm. For a moment, Liu Ruo Qing's belief that he had been there for days began to waver.
That hug, she had no relationship with Yan Yuan at all. She even thought of what he had said when he was drunk that night as pure drunk nonsense.
But even so, she couldn't convince herself in the depths of her heart.
Even though he spoke nonsense after drinking, he still spoke the truth after drinking. Most likely, only Yan Yuan himself knew of this.
