Chapter 456: Heartache
As the ceremonial music sounded, a palace maid shouted, "The Crown Prince has arrived!"
Almost everyone set their sights on Pei Yuxiao, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace.
He nodded slightly and walked slowly into the palace banquet with official steps.
His figure was as straight as a pine tree, his sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, and his eyes were narrow and deep.
A black brocade robe embroidered with python patterns looked cold and noble under the candlelight.
Pei Yuxiao carried a sharp sword aura, and his every move was filled with the arrogance of a royal son and the domineering nature of a top martial artist.
When everyone saw Pei Yuxiao, they all gasped.
I thought Pei Mochen, Prince Yan and Prince Yi were the best in the world, too handsome to be like ordinary people.
Unexpectedly, the Eastern Palace Crown Prince Pei Yuxiao has a stronger temperament and is even more handsome than other princes.
"What a handsome man! His every move, every frown and every smile are simply engraved in my heart." said a princess.
"She is indeed beautiful, with such a captivating temperament. If she becomes a crown princess, she will probably slap herself in the face during an argument, right?" another princess echoed.
They looked at Pei Yuxiao infatuatedly, raised their chins and sighed: "Such a handsome man, with a fragrant body and no smell of mutton... If I could marry him, I would definitely take a bath with clean water every day."
At this time, another princess from a foreign country joined the discussion: "Don't talk nonsense, I heard that the prince of Dafeng is not interested in women, and he may not be willing to get married."
……
The princesses below were whispering and talking about Pei Yuxiao, wondering when to send him the sachet.
At the same time, Lu Yan in the crowd naturally saw Pei Yuxiao, who was in high spirits.
As soon as the prince appeared, her heart beat faster involuntarily, and she kept hiding in the corner and watching him secretly.
I thought to myself: You can’t tell the quality of things by comparing them, and you can’t tell the figure of men by comparing them.
The sword energy emanating from Pei Yuxiao alone was enough to make him admire her for a while. What's more, he was such a handsome prince.
Lu Yan ordered her maid to send a sachet to Pei Yuxiao, and then ran over to greet him in person. She was ready to focus on Pei Yuxiao.
Pei Mochen came second, and Pei Yanxun was at the bottom.
As for the Prince Pei Yili who could only write a few sour poems, well, she, Lu Yan, the dignified Princess Beimo, was not willing to fight for him.
After finishing all the things, Lu Yan then fixed his eagle-like eyes on the faces of several princesses and princesses to see who was the most popular, and who would be his sworn enemy.
The corners of his lips slowly curled up, and he looked down on them in his heart: "Unworthy, unworthy, unworthy, none of them, none of them are worth fearing."
Suddenly, when her gaze shifted to Mu Wanyan's desk, she was shocked.
How come the Princess of Xichang received so many sachets? Even more than I received?
Is she really beautiful? Is it really that exaggerated?
Isn't it just that her skin is whiter, her waist is thinner, and she looks kinder? Oh, does she have the temperament of my Princess Beimo?
Lu Yan clenched his fists and gave a sinister smile.
"The vision of the men of Dafeng is indeed far inferior to that of us Beimo men. Mu Wanyan, from now on you are my Lu Yan's enemy."
At the same time, Pei Yuxiao also walked to his seat.
After he briefly exchanged greetings with everyone, the sound of stringed instruments rang out again.
Pei Mochen was the first prince to walk up to him and toast him.
With a seemingly friendly smile on his face, he bowed slightly and said, "Brother Crown Prince, today's palace banquet is very lively."
Then, while refilling Pei Yuxiao's glass of wine, he pretended to say casually, "Brother, I have a great affinity with Xichang Mu Wanyan. She was my savior when I was young. I like her and plan to ask my father to marry her."
His voice was very humble and his attitude was sincere. On the surface, he was reporting to his brother, but in fact, he was trying to let Pei Yuxiao know how to avoid suspicion. He hoped that Pei Yuxiao would skip Mu Wanyan over the woman he liked.
Pei Yuxiao had no intention of getting married. He followed the direction of Pei Mochen's finger and looked at Mu Wanyan in the corner.
His thin lips moved slightly, and he was about to say to Pei Mochen in a proud tone: "Don't worry, Third Brother, I will not compete with you for a woman."
However, he didn't expect that when his eyes met Mu Wanyan's, his heart suddenly stopped.
Pei Yuxiao's handsome brows slightly frowned. Why did the Princess of Xichang look so familiar?
She has a rosy face, fair skin, and a graceful figure, which makes me feel pity for her.
Especially those pair of misty peach blossom eyes, which were looking at him with a sad look at this moment, with a heavy heart, as if they had thousands of words to tell him.
Pei Yuxiao's heart moved, and he began to doubt: Does that Mu Wanyan know me?
Could she be an old acquaintance of mine? I just can't remember her?
Xiang Qin gently pulled her master's sleeve from behind Mu Wanyan and reminded her in a low voice, "Master, restrain yourself."
"I know that the Crown Prince of the East Palace is handsome and has an extraordinary temperament, but you don't need to look at him like this, right? It's too... straightforward."
Xiang Qin pointed at the girls around her and motioned for Mu Wanyan to look.
He whispered, "Master, even some princesses who came from the grasslands, or princesses whose folk customs are that girls chase boys, they don't stare at other men as blatantly as you do."
Tears were falling from Mu Wanyan's eyes. Whenever her Nian Nian Jiang Jiang problem came up, she would shed tears non-stop.
"How could I not know? Do you think this princess wants to see the Crown Prince of the East Palace?"
She said honestly, "My heat poison is acting up. I... I can't control myself at all."
Xiang Qin was sweating for her master behind her. What should she do? Not only did she fail in the marriage, but she also offended the young man from Dafeng.
Mu Wanyan couldn't care less about that now. Her beautiful and affectionate peach blossom eyes stared at Pei Yuxiao without blinking.
How come this person is so good-looking? His sword energy is also strong.
Although his face was cold, he looked like someone who could be easily pushed over.
The waist is strong and the nose is high... It looks very delicious and can cure all kinds of poisons.
The 'simple' Mu Wanyan was clearly thinking about how to eat the man. However, because her face looked too childish, she didn't show any vulgarity at all.
On the contrary, her tearful and affectionate look seemed as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Her tears kept falling, and she kept wiping them with a handkerchief, even the most unkind and heartless Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace would not look at her.
Pei Yuxiao swallowed back the words he was about to say to Pei Mochen, and waved to call Fu An.
"Fuan, does this prince have any sleepwalking problem?"
"Why do I feel like I have let down the Princess of Xichang?" She cried when she saw me.
Fu An hurriedly bowed and said, "No, Princess Xichang must have fallen in love with the master, she is crying with joy. How about I give her a sachet?"
Pei Mochen, who was standing aside: "..."
