Chapter 124 Attending the Banquet
"In this life, I only love you."
Gentle and sincere words came out slowly, and Xu An naturally believed them.
-
After noon, Yan Mu was ordered to go to the Dali Temple to handle a case, and Xu An also returned to the Yanyue Palace.
As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, Asu Peiye appeared in front of her with a serious face. Seeing the man's livid face, Xu An paused, first puzzled for a moment and then looked away with disdain, "What is the matter with the Third Prince barging in without permission?"
After hearing this, the man raised the golden cage in his hand into the air, his eyes slightly angry, and his tone cold and questioning, "This is the spiritual bird I personally found for you, my lady. You haven't come back for so long, I wonder which wild man you went with?"
As he spoke, Asu Pei Ye deliberately took a deep breath, his voice full of dissatisfaction.
"Spirit bird, it looks cute, thank you, Third Prince. But I'm not fooling around with any wild men."
Xu An took the bird cage with a faint smile, walked around him and went straight to the stone table to sit down, then asked: "Why did the third prince give me the spiritual bird?"
"Why? Of course it's because I like you, my lady."
Asu Peiye smiled strangely, his face looked a little better, and he took the initiative to walk towards Xu An and sat down beside her. "Madam, do you still remember what happened between you and me yesterday?"
"..."
Hearing this, Xu An's eyelashes trembled, and he understood something.
It seems that what Yan Muyi said really happened, but why don’t I have any recollection of it at all?
"What's the matter?"
She tilted her head slightly and asked in confusion. She only remembered that she was very sleepy after practicing spiritual arts yesterday. She seemed to have had a wet dream without realizing it. The man in the dream was Asu Pei Ye.
Could it be that he was possessed by an evil spirit? Did he do something unusual?
"My lady took the initiative to tease and seduce me yesterday, why are you turning your back on me today?"
Asu Pei Ye supported his chin and looked at Xu An with a playful look, there was some expectation in his eyes, but his tone was a little puzzled and aggrieved.
The atmosphere was unusually quiet, and Xu An lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. All of this seemed to be true, but she had no impression of it at all. She vaguely remembered that she did see a man with a red face whispering for a moment.
"I have no memory of what happened yesterday. This must be a misunderstanding. Third Prince, please don't take it to heart." After a moment's silence, Xu An chuckled. Her indifferent expression made Asu Pei Ye's heart tense.
Seeing her indifferent attitude and her evasive reply that she had no impression of it, I felt inexplicably lost and depressed.
He knew that she couldn't remember, but these facts really happened, so he couldn't help feeling a little lonely.
"Misunderstanding? Take a closer look, is this a misunderstanding?"
A sharp voice sounded, a golden light flashed, and an ambiguous picture appeared in the air.
He suddenly grabbed Xu An's wrist, frowned, and looked resentful, "You said those words to me yesterday. It was you who teased me, and now you tell me it was a misunderstanding?" His tone was extremely angry, and even a little aggrieved.
Xu An stared blankly at the scenes in front of her, but she really couldn't remember anything. The scene was ambiguous and affectionate. She turned her head and waved her hand to cast a spell to extinguish the scene into smoke.
"I don't know why I am like this, but I am telling you clearly now that I didn't mean to do what I did yesterday. Or maybe I was so obsessed with my cultivation that I lost my mind? Please don't take it to heart, Third Prince."
Given this embarrassing scene, it's no wonder Yan Muyi did that last night, but I really can't remember it at all.
Xu An's words undoubtedly made Asu Peiye even more angry. "Now that you know about this, you still want me to not take it to heart? Xu An, do you really have no feelings for me at all?"
He asked tentatively, he seemed to know the answer but was eager for an answer, "Answer me, do you have any feelings for me?"
Xu An raised his eyes and looked at him, and replied seriously: "No."
No, these two words were like cold water that chilled Asu Peiye's heart.
He curled his lips slightly, like a hint of ridicule, and his golden eyes darkened a lot, "You lied to me, you made a promise with me, you said the princess would marry the prince, and you also told me yesterday that you had me in your heart, why don't you admit it now?"
Talking about this, Xu An was furious. Although she remembered what happened in the dream, she didn't want to admit it and didn't want to have anything to do with Asu Peiye. This man was crazy. He pushed her into the water and pretended to be so affectionate. He was really crazy.
"A Su Pei Ye, when have I ever made a promise with you? Don't I know whether I have you in my heart? But you, why are you pretending to be affectionate? Don't you hate me? Aren't you a prince who is high and mighty? Why are you like this now? Do you think I will believe you?"
She asked sternly, her brows full of confusion. To her, Asu Pei Ye's abnormal behavior was just an act to tease her.
She clearly remembered everything this man did and every word he said. How could he really like her when he looked down on everyone like that?
After all, Xu An felt that he had simply hit a wall with him, so he changed his method to play tricks on him.
Every word was like a needle piercing Asu Peiye's heart. He was speechless for a moment, his face looking grim.
It turns out that you don’t even remember what happened in your dream, so I was just being too sentimental.
"..."
Asu Pei Ye said nothing, shook his sleeves, pursed his lips, stood up and left.
In the past, how could this man's foul mouth remain silent? Xu An really couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
"Miss! Miss!"
Xiaoyu's voice came from outside the door, and the tranquility in Yanyue Palace was broken in an instant, "Miss! Princess Liyang is hosting a banquet for you in Hanyue Pavilion tonight. Miss, are you going?"
How could Xu An miss this opportunity to eat and drink for free?
"Go, how can I not go? Tell Princess Liyang that I will definitely keep the appointment."
Having missed the opportunity last time, this time she wanted to see what Shen Ran was trying to do by holding this banquet.
-
As the hour of You approached, Xu An dressed up, put on makeup and applied lip balm, just to make herself look more imposing.
It would be fine if he was sloppy at ordinary times, but now that he was wearing the vest of a goddess and a princess, he could not lose face or dignity.
"Xiaoyu, when you pour me wine later, remember to secretly change it to herbal tea, and don't let others see."
Xu An muttered to himself, fearing that he would make a fool of himself after drinking.
"Okay Miss, Master Ze'an is waiting for us outside."
"Ze'an is going too?"
"My lady, Princess Liyang seems to have also invited Master Ze'an."
What's the purpose of inviting Ze'an?
Xu An was confused and didn't know whether Shen Ran's banquet was good or bad.
After some packing, they finally set off.
"Ze'an, why did Shen Ran invite you? Do you have any connection with her?"
Xu An raised his hand to lift the beaded curtain and asked, but Ze An didn't know either, "She sent me a message to let me know that you were there, so I went to the appointment. I have no intersection with her, let alone communication with her."
There was an explanation hidden in Ze'an's words, and Xu An understood it. "I'm just asking out of curiosity. Ze'an, you don't need to explain so much. I naturally believe you."
"But I just want to explain to you. I just want you to know that my heart can only accommodate you. No matter what, nothing can become a misunderstanding between us."
These sudden words of love made Xu An's heart beat as powerfully as the sound of horse hooves.
What kind of perfect men are these? Their emotional intelligence is just right for me.
After chatting all the way, they soon arrived at Hanyue Pavilion. Ze'an skillfully lifted the bead curtain, put down the sedan chair and helped Xu An down.
"Meet Princess Shen Yue. It is a blessing for Shen Ran to have you attend the banquet. Princess, please come with me."
Shen Ran bowed politely, and her every move and gesture were that of a lady from a noble family.
Xu An thought she couldn't learn this elegant temperament, so she said in a casual and friendly manner, "Thank you for your help."
As soon as the group stepped over the threshold, people from more than a dozen tables looked at Xu An in unison and saluted in unison, "Greetings, Princess. May the Princess be safe and sound."
Xu An was stunned by the neat etiquette. She had never seen such a grand ceremony before. She just posed and said, "Well, no need to be polite. You should eat and drink."
"Yes."
After Xu An's response, everyone was silent for a moment, followed by heated discussions and exclamations.
"Is it really Junior Sister Xu?"
"What junior sister? She is Princess Shen Yue now. How can we be the princess's senior brothers?"
"The princess can also cheat?"
"Which eye did you see Sister Xu cheating? I think it was a misunderstanding. Have you all forgotten that it was she who helped the sect save Brother Zhu that night?"
"I heard that our junior sister is still a goddess, and there are several young masters who are fascinated by her. I don't know if it's true or not? Is she using some kind of charm?"
"Don't you use your brain? Does Princess Shen Yue, who looks like a fairy, still need to use charm?"
"..."
There were endless discussions of all kinds, but Xu An was too lazy to pay attention to them. The main reason was that there were too many people. She couldn't just scold them one by one, right? She could only say that those who were innocent were innocent. She didn't bother to explain.
"Princess Shen Yue, please follow me to the attic."
Shen Ran led a few people up, passed through the gorgeous pavilions and corridors, and came to a good place to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Further ahead were several exquisite pavilions. Looking forward, Xu An seemed to see a familiar figure.
"Liu Yu has met the princess."
"Lei respectfully welcomes the princess."
"Yu respectfully welcomes the goddess."
"I pay my respects to the princess."
"Xu An——"
