Chu Yu was already waiting at the door, dressed in a sapphire blue brocade, truly elegant and regal.
Standing there with a somber face, making people dare not look directly, yet impossible to ignore.
"Prince Rui!"
"Crown Prince!"
Chu Yu and Zhou Yunshen greeted each other, both with a forced smile.
Each harbored their own thoughts, but at this mont, no one would express them.
Together they headed to the back courtyard.
The atmosphere was very strange.
Nalan Changlin beca increasingly puzzled.
Could it be that the Crown Prince has seen the sixth sister? Knowing her beauty is extraordinary, and is worried about Prince Rui noticing her?
But, it doesn’t make sense.
Yet the Crown Prince’s deanor seed to fear the sixth sister being seen by Prince Rui, why?
Soon they heard laughter and cheerful voices coming from ahead, charming, alluring, gentle and affectionate.
Zhou Yunshen suddenly asked Chu Yu, "Prince Rui today indeed surprises !"
"The Crown Prince also surprises !"
"Heh!" Zhou Yunshen chuckled warmly.
"Heh!" Chu Yu chuckled coldly.
Both smiling, both laughing, but the tone was different, and the implications were entirely different.
Nalan Changlin walked behind, only then realizing the vastness of the world, that he truly was narrow-sighted.
Nalan Jinlian, after eating so pastries, felt a bit thirsty and drank more tea, eventually feeling bloated, got up and went to the lavatory.
She wasn’t interested in the Crown Prince anyway.
Just as she left the lavatory, she saw the Head Maid beside the Crown Princess Mrs. Xuan.
"Sixth Miss, you are here, the Crown Princess asks you to co over, she has sothing to say!"
"?"
"Yes!"
Nalan Jinlian didn’t understand what they wanted with her.
But thinking that the Crown Prince would soon appear before the young ladies, and she being beautiful, her aunt might be afraid she’d overshadow her two sisters!
Thinking this, Nalan Jinlian smiled, "Alright!"
Nalan Changlin led Chu Yu and Zhou Yunshen into the backyard.
Nalan Mingyi, Nalan Huanhuan, and others imdiately approached to greet them, Zhou Yunshen smiled gently, "No need for formalities, today is the coming-of-age ceremony of the fifth Miss, everyone just relax!"
Chu Yu had Anyi present a token of parting, "This is the gift from my master, Prince Rui of Tianchu Country, to the fifth Miss!"
"Thank you, Prince Rui!" Nalan Mingyi quickly bowed.
Chu Yu waved his hand lightly, "No need for formalities!"
His eyes swept around, unable to find the figure he felt familiar to the core of his soul, the anticipation instantly deflated.
Too lazy to remain, he turned and left.
Zhou Yunshen smiled slightly.
It’s good that the person is not there.
Nalan Mingzhu watched the departing Chu Yu, secretly astonished.
So the man riding wildly in the snow that day was Prince Rui of Tianchu Country, unexpectedly, she could see him again.
While she rembered him, he completely did not rember her.
Thinking this, Nalan Mingzhu sighed and lowered her head.
Feeling sowhat unwilling and a bit uncomfortable.
Zhou Yunshen did not stay to drink, just spoke a few words, suggesting Nalan Mingyi should visit the Empress when she has ti, and said nothing else.
But these few words led to endless speculation.
Could the Crown Prince be considering the fifth Miss of Marquis Residence as his concubine? Or perhaps as his primary wife?
Regardless of which, either position would be exceedingly privileged.
Mrs. Xuan didn’t know what her eldest son was up to, asking her to et Nalan Jinlian, but when Nalan Jinlian arrived, she smiled kindly, "Lian, co sit, look at these few fabrics, do you like them?"
Was she called over to choose fabric?
Nalan Jinlian smiled, "What Aunt gives is certainly excellent, it must have cost you a lot!"
