Chapter 229 Past events (5)
Shi Yunan's appearance may not be one in a million, but he still stands out among the handsome men and beautiful women in the capital. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is stunningly beautiful.
The current Crown Prince Xi Jingzhi is also uniquely handsome, and before this, no one knew that the Crown Prince liked Long Yangshi.
All the women and girls in the capital, young and old, like him.
Even when it was later known that the Queen was looking for a princess for the Crown Prince, the people who signed up to hand in their portraits lined up throughout the capital.
Before the Shi family encountered trouble, people who wanted to form an alliance with the Shi family were lining up in droves.
I just don’t know why, even if a very outstanding woman came to his house, Shi’s father would not agree.
Even when the emperor wanted to marry the princess to Shi Yunan, Shi's father refused.
At that time, everyone threatened that the Shi family would definitely not be able to continue if Shi's father did the same thing.
Sure enough, not long after, the entire Shi family was executed by the enraged emperor.
"You, you guys!"
Ning Xianjing stomped her feet in anger, then turned around and ran away. Ma Wenxuan quickly chased after her and apologized to her.
"Still not letting you go?"
Wei Changqing frowned and looked sullen.
The guards had no choice but to let Shi Yunan in.
"They are really going too far. To put it bluntly, they are just looking down on others."
Wei Changsheng snorted coldly, and was hit on the head by his brother the next second.
"This is not like home, you have to be careful with your words and actions"
After Wei Changqing finished speaking, his face immediately became serious again.
Passing through the towering walls and the eerie palace gates, they finally arrived at their destination, the Imperial Garden.
Shi Yunan looked up and saw that the imperial garden was full of flowers. Various rare varieties and flowers whose names he couldn't tell were all blooming in splendor.
Even some flowers that shouldn't bloom in this season are blooming brilliantly.
Walking along the stone-paved road to the corridor, in the distance, in a bustling pavilion, there stood several girls in beautiful clothes.
There are also rockery and strange rocks in the imperial garden, with butterflies flying around, birds singing and the sound of flowing water.
There were also people feeding the koi in the lake with bait, and chatting with their friends from time to time.
It’s very lively here, so lively that Yunan’s social phobia starts to come back.
Perhaps noticing Shi Yunan's discomfort, Wei Changsheng walked closer to him and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Shi, what's wrong with you?"
"I have nothing to do, I just feel a little bored here"
Seeing Wei Changqing went to talk to other people, Shi Yunan replied in a low voice.
"I think so too. Why don't we go somewhere else? My eldest brother is chatting with his colleagues again."
As Wei Changsheng said this, he grabbed Shi Yunan's sleeve and tried to run away.
At this time, a girl who looked like the moon surrounded by stars appeared at the gate of the Imperial Garden. The Imperial Garden, which had been a little noisy, immediately became quiet.
The eunuch shouted loudly: "The fourth princess has arrived!"
"The Fourth Princess, it's the Fourth Princess!"
"This is the younger sister of His Royal Highness the Third Prince. How could she come so early?"
"The fourth princess is so beautiful, and I heard that she has a very good temper and is very gentle."
"Don't pay too much attention to me, just have fun"
As the rumors say, Fourth Prince Chairman Murong has a very kind personality and is very gentle.
She was wearing a complicated light pink palace dress, and her personal maid was helping to hold up the hem of her skirt from behind.
There was also a guard beside her holding an umbrella to prevent the morning sun from burning the princess's soft skin.
Xi Murong had just stepped onto the corridor when she looked up and saw Shi Yunan.
She nodded slightly as a greeting, then walked towards the pavilion without looking back and rested inside.
Soon after, the second prince also arrived.
The emperor had five sons and three daughters. The crown prince Xi Jingzhi was born to the empress, the second prince Xi Jianchen was born to Concubine Xian, and the third prince and the fourth princess were born to Concubine Jing.
The fifth princess and the sixth prince were born to Concubine Rou.
The remaining seventh prince and eighth princess were a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, born to Ling Da Ying.
The Holy Empress has been here recently, and I heard that she is about to be promoted to the position of consort.
During the banquet, Chen Yi walked in with an indifferent look on his face and did not greet anyone. He walked to the pavilion, found a random seat, sat down, and closed his eyes to rest.
There are many pavilions in the Imperial Garden, which can accommodate many people.
So when they saw that the Second Prince clearly didn't want to be disturbed by anyone else, everyone tactfully didn't go up to talk to him.
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince has arrived!"
Another high-pitched and shrill voice was heard from the door. Everyone looked up and saw a man in a crimson-purple python robe appear.
He is very handsome, with thin light pink lips under his high nose bridge and upturned eyes, looking quite charming.
Her long black hair was half loose, and a white jade crown was used to hold it firmly in place on her head.
Followed by a dozen maids and servants, he walked slowly towards them with a smile in full view of everyone.
This is the third prince, Silda.
In the end, everyone was present except the youngest Seventh Prince, Eighth Princess and the Crown Prince.
"Big Brother is still not coming?"
The fifth princess asked, looking at Silda innocently.
"My eldest brother is busy, so he won't come."
Silda looked at her younger sister and explained gently.
"Well, okay then."
The eight-year-old girl was a little puffy, and the flesh on her cheeks looked so cute that one would want to pinch it.
"I didn't want you to join in the fun, but you came anyway, and brought your brother with you."
Xi Murong said this with amusement, then reached out and gently pinched Xi Xiaoyu's face.
"I want to see what a dinner party among adults is like, don't you think, Xiaoliu?"
Xi Xiaoyu smiled mischievously, holding her six-year-old brother Xi Xiaoye in her other hand.
"Yeah," Xiaoliu nodded. At such a young age, she could already serve as her sister's supporting actor.
"The relationship between this prince and the princess seems to be very good."
Wei Changsheng whispered in Shi Yunan's ear with curiosity in his eyes.
There are bound to be dirty and filthy things happening in aristocratic families. The Wei family doesn't have that many dirty and filthy things because Wei's father doesn't have that many mistresses.
But there are so many concubines and princes and princesses in the palace, and there is no competition among them. Instead, they live in harmony and friendship.
In fact, most of the princes are solitary, and it is rare to see them gathered together like this.
So everyone had a preconceived notion that the relationship between the princes was not good.
Although the crown prince was appointed early on, it is still unknown who will sit on that position in the end.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get started"
As Silda spoke, the eunuch beside her began to announce the start of the poetry and singing competition.
"Wait a minute, isn't this Shen Dayong's sister? Why is she going in the direction of my eldest brother?"
Wei Changsheng was originally eating pastries out of boredom, but when he looked up, he saw a beautiful woman in green clothes walking towards his brother.
