After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

Chapter 289 Fancy Characters

The scene of her curled up in the corner of the desk, shivering and calling for me yesterday emerged in my mind - that helplessness and fear were deeply engraved in my heart and could not be forgotten.

His Adam's apple slid up and down several times with difficulty, trying to suppress the urge that was rising up. At the same time, his vision involuntarily deepened several degrees, and complex colors intertwined into a sea.

Finally, I mustered up the courage to raise my eyes and look straight ahead, and slowly moved my arm that was blocking my vision away, just in time to meet that fleeting, fiery gaze.

Then the man suddenly turned sideways and strode out of the room, leaving her with a back figure that gradually disappeared.

Doubt and confusion prompted Cui Rongrong to stare at his departure trajectory for a long time. She always felt that the brief moment of encounter just now was more like a strange experience of being scrutinized or even accused by someone.

At this time, a maid came in at the door, holding a basin, towel and other washing tools in her hands: "Young Madam, please wash your face first."

Cui Rong collected her thoughts, took the towel and began to wipe her face, then rinsed her mouth and put on her makeup.

During this time, Cuizhu was heard describing in detail the information about the host who would be attending the celebration. It was said that there were many beautiful ladies living in this mansion as a foil, but only a few women of higher status who were officially registered were allowed to attend important occasions.

"It turns out that today's event is to celebrate the little prince's first birthday - it is said that he is the direct descendant of Concubine Zhuo."

So out of curiosity, he continued to ask, "Then the wife has never given birth to any children?"

The answer I got was as expected: "Indeed, not at all. Due to her congenitally weak constitution and long-term illness, she was unable to successfully conceive and give birth to a child. However, despite this, the princess still maintained a tolerant and generous attitude and treated the sisters in the palace well, especially the little child with great love. In the entire Kyoto, almost no one could match her in terms of moral character."

I still feel heartbroken when I think about how she got hurt when I first met her.

Although it looks glamorous on the surface, there may be many unknown hardships hidden behind it.

"Although she is currently restricted from traveling due to violating regulations and cannot personally attend the banquet, besides her, there is another concubine named Jiang..."

At this point, he paused for a moment and lowered his voice deliberately, "Based on the historical conflicts and contradictions, they may have unfavorable intentions against you, so you need to be doubly careful and vigilant in your actions."

He nodded to show that he understood the meaning: "I understand, thank you for your reminder. I will pay attention to safety and protect my interests from being harmed."

About half an hour later, Cui Rong, who was ready, followed Song Yanyi out of the door and boarded the carriage that had been waiting for a long time and drove towards Prince Xuan's Palace.

The Xuanwang Palace is extremely lively today. When the morning light fills the sky, there is already a hustle and bustle of carriages and people in front of the palace.

Teams of gorgeous sedan chairs slowly drove in, with colorful flags fluttering in the air, sparkling in the sun; attendants were busy shuttling among them, and from time to time one could hear them talking in low voices or giving low commands. The whole scene seemed orderly and full of a festive atmosphere.

All this is because of a major event that happened in recent days - King Xuan successfully cleared the obstacles of King Jin and his supporters who had coveted the throne for a long time, and now he is in power and in high spirits.

In order to celebrate this victory and show the world the stability of his status as a new noble, King Xuan decided to send out invitations to all the prominent nobles in the city to participate in this banquet.

As a person who had made great contributions, Song Yanyi naturally became the first guest to be invited.

When his exclusive carriage came to a steady stop, the curtain was slightly opened, and a pair of jade hands were gently extended. Then a young man in an embroidered robe and with a heroic appearance got off the carriage first, followed by a girl who was also dressed gorgeously but looked a little embarrassed - it was his newlywed wife named Cui Rong.

Just as the two were about to step into the mansion, a tall and handsome figure riding a white horse came towards them and stopped leisurely.

"It's really rare. You are willing to ride in this ordinary carriage now?"

Before I got closer, I heard clear laughter from a distance.

The person who came was none other than Su Yan, who was known as a talented scholar in the capital.

He rolled over several times quickly, got off the horse lightly, and handed the reins to the servant who had been waiting for a long time.

"Hey, long time no see!"

With a smile and greetings on his face, Su Yan walked straight towards Song Yanyi and saluted.

Hearing this, the latter just glanced at the other person indifferently without saying much.

When his eyes turned to Cui Rongrong, Su Yan immediately showed an interested smile, and then he bowed his hands in a standard but slightly casual etiquette: "Oh, I almost forgot to give a greeting gift to the young lady of the Song family. My last name is Su Yan. If you have any difficult problems in the future, you can ask me for help~"

After hearing this, Cui Rong, who was already a little uneasy, became even more shocked. She couldn't help but look up at her husband beside her for comfort.

At this moment, a barely perceptible look of anger flashed across Song Yanyi's face. His cold gaze seemed to freeze the air around him. Then, he squeezed out a word in a voice so low that it was almost inaudible: "Go."

Seeing this, Su Yan spread his hands pretending to be helpless, "Okay, okay, since you said so, I will be sensible and step back for the time being. Anyway, it is not my intention to disturb your honeymoon."

As he spoke, he opened the folding fan in his hand and walked forward slowly, waving it gently, leaving behind two completely different pairs of eyes following his back until he disappeared.

Only after she was sure that Su Yan was completely gone did Cui Rong, who had been standing there for a long time without moving, come to her senses.

Just as she was about to comment on the scene just now, an extremely cold questioning voice suddenly rang in her ears: "What? Are you also attracted by that fancy person?"

When I suddenly came to my senses, I saw the man standing opposite me looking at me coldly.

Although he felt a little scared in his heart, he couldn't help but blurt out, "Well... that adult is indeed very different from the impression in the rumors outside... Although his style of doing things is a bit casual and even a little bit out of the ordinary... but in fact..." He suddenly stopped talking here, not knowing how to continue.

As if he had expected this reaction, the person next to him spoke in a flat tone, "Although he looks so prosperous now, his growth path was actually full of hardships."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and strode over the threshold, completely disregarding the mood of the female companion following behind him.

Seeing this, Cui Rongrong could only move quickly to keep up with the figure in front.

Walking through the spacious courtyard and entering the main hall, there stood an old prince wearing a dragon-patterned golden robe and looking kind and solemn among the crowd who had been waiting for a long time...

As the two men got closer, they saw from afar the man who controlled the fate of half the country and took a few steps forward to greet them.
