Chu Yu remained silent and cold.
Zhou Yunshen turned his head to Nalan Changlin and said, "Prepare a courtyard next to Prince Rui’s for , I shall also stay at the Marquis Residence for a few days!"
"..."
Nalan Changlin was taken aback.
This indeed...
Was too unbelievable.
Although it was a great honor for the Crown Prince to stay at the Marquis Residence, it was also fraught with danger.
Who could tell if the other princes might send assassins, and if the Crown Prince gets injured...
But since the Crown Prince has spoken, they couldn’t just drive him away, and had to happily leave him there.
"Yes!"
Nalan Changlin then ordered the courtyard to be prepared and also went to inform the old Marquess.
Having the Crown Prince stay at his ho was no small matter and required utmost diligence.
Zhou Yunshen noticed Chu Yu remained silent, strands of white hair appearing at his temples. Although still tall and upright, he was noticeably thinner, quite different from his once spirited and arrogant self.
He had beco increasingly deep and unreadable.
Zhou Yunshen marveled at Chu Yu’s deep affection for Yun Jinnian but had no intentions to let go.
There was only one Yun Jinnian in the world, and he would not let him go.
"Prince Rui, how about a ga of chess?" Zhou Yunshen suggested.
Chu Yu raised his brow, "I have no desire!"
He turned and retreated to his room, completely ignoring Zhou Yunshen.
Zhou Yunshen stood there, chuckling softly.
Still as gentle as jade, calm and composed.
He turned and left the courtyard, heading to the adjacent one.
Backyard
Nalan Mingyi received the gift sent by Zhou Yunshen and instantly blushed.
Nalan Huanhuan’s eyes dimd. Seeing everyone congratulating Nalan Mingyi, she also stepped forward and smiled, "Fifth sister, tell , the Crown Prince sending a gift at this ti, isn’t it suggestive?"
"Ah..."
Nalan Mingyi exclaid, her face reddening further.
Her heart was pounding.
The Crown Prince, gentle and elegant, was the most remarkable of all the young gentlen she had t.
She naturally felt drawn to him.
Nalan Huanhuan observed, "Fifth sister, could it be that we guessed correctly?"
"Don’t talk nonsense, I’ve only t the Crown Prince twice!" Nalan Mingyi said, her voice growing softer.
"Sixth sister, what does the Crown Prince look like?"
"Yes, is he handso?"
"Is he tall or short, thin or fat?"
The girls surrounded Nalan Mingyi, even the visiting ladies were both envious and jealous.
Nalan Mingyi, flustered by the questions, quietly described him.
Nalan Jinlian sat aside, nibbling on so pastries, which tasted especially good today.
She couldn’t help but eat more.
"Sixth sister, aren’t you curious?" Nalan Huanhuan sat beside Nalan Mingzhu and softly asked.
"Curious about what?" Nalan Jinlian asked.
"The Crown Prince!"
"Oh, the Crown Prince, not really curious, there will be chances to et in the future. Besides, the Crown Prince is now at the Marquis Residence, if the sisters are curious, they can send soone to invite him over. Then we’ll know what the Crown Prince looks like!"
"..."
"..."
Everyone fell silent.
What she said made sense, but how should he be invited?
"Then sixth sister, tell us, under what pretext would it be best to invite him?"
And more appropriately.
"That’s simple, just invite a few brothers over, and quietly let them know to ask the Crown Prince if he would like to co. If he doesn’t, there’s no harm!"
"But, n and won should maintain their distance!"
Nalan Jinlian chuckled, "With the brothers around and so many of us, there’s no talk of impropriety. Besides, today is fifth sister’s coming-of-age ceremony, and the Crown Prince sent a gift. Inviting him over for so pastries and tea wouldn’t be inappropriate!"
