“Greetings to the Crown Prince!” Leng Zi Shi smiled at Shang Wu Xin, the lovely dimples shown near the corner of his mouth instantly added an innocent charm to this young boy.
Shang Wu Xin nodded her head, she didn’t have any other thoughts towards this young boy. More importantly, this kind of young boy was outside of Shang Wu Xin’s world. She didn’t expect Leng Yu Feng to have such a bright younger brother, that was unlike a child who was raised in a big family.
Leng Zi Shi looked at this exquisite Crown Prince’s look, there was a sudden feeling of defeat in his heart. He originally thought that in this world, his Big Brother and Big Brother Huan was already a very handsome and good-looking man, but only after he saw Crown Prince’s face did he realized that in this world there were men who could be beautiful too.
Looking at the Crown Prince’s cold attitude, Leng Zi Shi’s heart was disappointed. For so many years, no matter if it’s men or women there were very few people who acted so indifferent towards him. The majority of them really liked to be together with him, even his Big Brother and Big Brother Huan were not that indifferent towards him.
“Big brother, does the Crown Prince hate me?” Leng Zi Shi walked to Leng Yu Feng’s side while frowning with some grievances, although he was not close to his big brother. Leng Zi Shi had always admired his big brother, but unfortunately, this big brother was indifferent towards him or to any of his other younger siblings. At least big brother’s attitude was quite good to him. Sometimes when he talked to big brother, he would still pay attention to what he said.
Leng Yu Feng looked at his eyes for a moment and turned to go to Tai Ji Temple, an impatient look was shown on his face.
Leng Yu Feng never replied to his younger shu brother’s question, and Huan Mo Che raised his foot to follow after him. While the sad Leng Tian Tian was forgotten by both of them, even Leng Zi Shi had ignored her.
At this time, Leng Zi Shi did not know, when he smiled towards the Crown Prince just now, both Leng Yu Feng and Huan Mo Che’s hearts were already feeling uncomfortable. Both of them already knew, that although Leng Zi Shi was young, he was a bright person. And for dark kind of people, it was easy for them to develop good feelings towards this bright kind of people. So from the moment, Leng Zhi Shi was close to the Crown Prince, he had already been hanged by the two madmen in their minds.
“Younger cousin, say, do you think that Big Brother Huan really hates me?” Leng Tian Tian said with red eyes while pulling Leng Zi Shi’s sleeve.
From the first time when she met Young Master Huan in the capital, she had fallen in love with him. At that time, Young Master Huan was practicing the sword with her elder cousin. When that blue clothes were moving along the wind with his movement, the young man’s smiling face made her saw spring blossoms(1). From that moment, she told herself that she would marry this man in the future.
That’s why for the past few years she worked very hard in learning female virtues, she took efforts to integrate herself into the capital’s aristocratic circle and won a good reputation for herself. Alas, she rarely saw Young Master Huan. Every time she saw Young Master Huan, it’s either at the palace banquet or it was when big brother and Young Master Huan went out together. She also had heard of the rumors of her elder cousin and Young Master Huan in the capital (2), but she had never believed them.
When she heard that Young Master Huan would come to the dinner banquet tonight, she had dressed up herself but unfortunately, he did not even pay attention to it. All she got was her elder cousin’s admonishment and Young Master Huan’s blind eye. Leng Tian Tian also felt that something in Young Master Huan had changed, she could not say clearly which part of him was different, but her woman’s instincts made her anxious.
Leng Zi Shi took out his handkerchief and wiped the tears off Leng Tian Tian’s face, and said anxiously, “Elder cousin, you don’t cry a!” he helplessly said, “Big Brother Huan is like this towards anyone, big brother is also the same, they don’t hate elder cousin a! Elder cousin is so kind, how can they hate you?” Leng Zi Shi said while nodding his head repeatedly, this really made people laugh at his action.
“Really?” Leng Tian Tian looked at Leng Zi Shi incredulously, her red eyes looked extraordinarily fragile. “Really not because they hate me?”
“Of course!” Leng Zi Shi patted his upper chest as if to ensure that. “How can I lie to elder cousin? Elder cousin is the best woman in the capital. Everyone likes elder cousin a, but each person’s personality is different, elder cousin don’t think too much about it!”
After Leng Tian Tian heard of Leng Zi Shi’s consolations, she let out a laugh and happily said, “En, it’s still Zi Shi who’s the best!” after that she pulled Leng Zi Shi’s arms along and walked towards Tai Ji temple, while Leng Zi Shi’s cheeks were silently turning red.
When Shang Wu Xin’s entourage walked inside Tai Ji’s Temple, the emperor and his titled concubines had not arrived yet, but the ministers, princesses, and princes were already seated.
“Greetings to Crown Prince!” No matter if these ministers were willing or not, they stood up to greet her, towards this act, Shang Wu Xin was very satisfied. After all, with her current identity, she need not salute others here which went along perfectly with Shang Wu Xin’s personality.
Shang Wu Xin sat on the upper seat, while Leng Yu Feng and Huan Mo Che’s seats were arranged just under Shang Wu Xin’s seat. Although the three were silent, their exquisite faces were still so handsome that the young ladies at the palace banquet were looking at the three men with red faces. In their hearts, they were secretively comparing who was more handsome from the three…
“Imperial Younger Brother…” Just when Shang Wu Xin was feeling a little bit bored, a soft voice can be heard calling for him. Shang Wu Xin looked up and saw Princess Shang Qin Mi (3) standing in front of his table with a smile on her face.
Shang Wu Xin did not get up, but just nodded slightly, “Imperial Elder Sister!” her gesture was proud but was full of elegance.
Shang Qin Mi’s hands were clenched slightly hidden behind her sleeves, she smiled and said, “Imperial brother, your good name is widely known now a! By the way, imperial brother is now around fifteen years old, which is of the marriage age! Out of all the princes here, only you have not married yet!” Shang Qin Mi was generally concernedly as an elder sister.
Shang Qin Mi’s words were not hidden at all, many people in the hall have heard it. For a time, many women were looking reservedly at the Crown Prince. Hoping that they’re the one who caught the Crown Prince’s attention.
Leng Yu Feng’s hand that was holding the wine cup shook. The wine from the cup spilled out a little on to the back of his hand, but he did not even realize it as he was looking at the Crown Prince. He is afraid that the Crown Prince would say something about his marriage to his loved ones. Clearly, he had acknowledged that he was his guardians, but it’s really hard to know now.
Huan Mo Che’s smile suddenly stiffened and the smile which was like the spring breeze turned bitter, which let anyone felt heartache when they saw it.
“Haha…Imperial elder sister really worried a!” Shang Wu Xin said with a smile, “This prince is almost fifteen years old, even Father Emperor is not worried about this prince’s wedding. Imperial Elder Sister is too anxious. However we have really troubled Imperial Elder Sister, this prince has no plans for marriage yet!”
Hearing that, Leng Yu Feng and Huan Mo Che’s hearts were relieved, both of them instantly returned to their usual state.
“How can that be? Imperial brother you did not know, there are many young ladies that admire you in this capital. Imperial brother has to live up to the hearts of these ladies a!” Shang Qin Mi pulled up the lady beside her and said, “Wan Wan(4), you say isn’t it true?”
The lady called Wan Wan’s face had turned red, she raised up her head to look at the Crown Prince then shyly lowered her head. Although the voice was small but contained a trace of bashfulness, “En, Crown Prince is a man of heaven!” (5)
“See, our Wan Wan really admired Crown Prince!” Shang Qin Mi teased.
Shang Wu Xin raised one of her eyebrows when she saw Shang Chen Hao’s look that seemed to want to kill her. She instantly understood what Shang Qin Mi wanted to do. She looked as Shang Qin Mi took the lady back to her seat. Shang Wu Xin lowered her head to hide her cold expression.
