Chapter 65 (Text)

  It's just a pity that even this little bit is a kind of hope for him!

  In the end, looking at Han Xi's still confused and puzzled expression, Xuan Yang Lie was about to go crazy.

  Afraid that looking at her silly appearance would only infuriate himself, Jingyang Lie simply turned a blind eye and walked away, drinking alone in silence.

  It just so happened that at this time, he inadvertently saw a beautiful woman dancing, and her beautiful eyes swept across him, smiling sweetly at him.

  That smiling face like a flower, with sparkling eyes and expressive eyebrows, slightly calmed down the originally irate mood of Jingyang Lie.

  At least, apart from that stupid bitch who doesn't know a good thing when she sees it, he's still very charming!

  Thinking of this, Xuan Yang Lie's originally gloomy face slightly improved, and he smiled back at the woman who was smiling flirtatiously at him.

  But unexpectedly, when the woman appeared, her cheeks flushed red, her eyes sparkled with anger, and her dance became even more captivating. She won over the entire audience's applause.

  Even Jing Huang looked at it, and his eyes were full of praise. He also saw that the two princesses of Lanfeng Imperial Court were as beautiful as flowers, and their talents were outstanding, so he liked them even more.

  Moreover, someone who can become the emperor must be quick-witted. The shy smile that Lan Su Man gave to Xuan Yang Lie just now naturally caught his eye, and with a flash of inspiration in his eyes, he already had an idea in mind.

  Also saw that the eldest princess was elegant and beautiful, and also favored by Emperor Lanfeng, if it were a marriage between two countries...

  As she thought of this, Xing Huan's gaze fell on the crown prince, whom he was most proud of, and then moved to the eldest princess Lan Su Xue, a smile spreading across his face that was even more intriguing...

  Unintentionally catching his father's gaze on him, as well as the hint of a smile on his lips, made Xuan Tian Qi, who was originally silent and sitting at the banquet, suddenly stiffen his hand that was holding the White Jade Night Glow cup, and in his heart, there was an inexplicable sense of unease.

  As expected, after Xuan Huang bestowed many precious gifts on the two princesses, upon inquiring further, she learned that the two princesses would be staying for ten days. With this, Xuan Huang immediately spoke with a smile.

  "Even so, why not let the prince and Xiao Siu take the two princesses on a tour, to introduce them to the famous scenic spots of Tianxuan?"

  As soon as Huan spoke, Huan Tianqi and Huan Yanglie's faces immediately turned pale with shock. They looked at Huan in unison, and when they saw the satisfied smile on his lips, they suddenly understood. Huan Yanglie's mouth even twitched slightly.

  It seems that this time, Father Emperor himself is going to act as a matchmaker for them. Otherwise, why would he, with so many sons, not call any of the others, but instead let these two meet?

  Even Tian Tianqi's eyebrows slightly furrowed when he heard Tian Huang's words, but that was only for a moment. Immediately, his face returned to its usual gentle and elegant state.

  After all, guests are guests. Even if they knew the Emperor's intentions, they couldn't very well refuse on the spot. So, Xuan Tian Qi and Xuan Yang Lie immediately stood up and said in unison.

  "Yes, Your Majesty."

  Hearing her two sons' words, Xuan Huan's smile deepened at the corner of her mouth.

  Looking at her two sons who were handsome and extraordinary, Zhuang Huan's eyes were filled with even more pride!

  The eldest son Tianqi is most like his young self!

  Wearing a brocade robe with a jade belt, he has a tall and dignified stature. His face is handsome and extraordinary, gentle and elegant, every move of his hands and feet is measured, and his demeanor is outstanding.

  In handling court affairs, he has a unique insight, with exceptional talent since childhood, and is deeply empathetic!

  And the fourth son, although he was a smooth talker and spent his days idling about, when it came to serious matters, he was not careless at all.

  It's a pity for a young man to not be romantic! As long as he knows his limits, that's all that matters!

  Moreover, he is also handsome and elegant in appearance. Because he was brought up by Yu Fei since childhood, Xuan Huang is also exceptionally fond of him.

  He thought to himself that he was now twenty years old, and although there were countless women, the proper empress had not yet appeared. Looking at the Second Princess's flirtatious gaze towards him just now, this experienced person couldn't help but notice. And so, he began to plan on bringing the two of them together.

  Compared to what Xiang Huang said, everyone in the imperial court knew very well who was not a good person. Some girls who secretly admired the fourth prince were even more heartbroken upon hearing this.

  After all, she is a princess, with a noble status, and now it's the emperor's intention, this is just to tie the red line for them. As a result, those girls' families also have their share of secretly shedding tears.

  Even Han Hui's eyes beside her naturally understood Xuan Huang's meaning.

  Looking at the two women standing in the middle of the grand hall, slender and elegant, with beautiful and charming appearances, yet feeling somewhat stifled in his heart, as if a huge boulder was weighing on his chest.

  She slightly turned her head and looked at Tianqi Xing sitting on her upper left side.

  All that can be seen is today's him, wearing a white brocade robe made of high-quality silk, which outlines his slender and lean body.

  Around his waist was a golden silk belt inlaid with gems, and on one of his fingers was a white jade ring that matched perfectly with his slender, jade-like fingers.

  A head of raven-black hair was crowned with a jade diadem that sat tightly on her head, the rest cascading down her back to her waist.

  The wind blows by, and his clothes flutter, even if you don't look at that handsome face of his, just one silhouette is enough to make people's hearts move...

  Before, he had always been positioned as a friend, but now, upon hearing that Xuan Huang intentionally brought him together with another woman, Han Xi's heart felt like it was being tightly squeezed by someone's hand, and the pain could not be concealed...

  Compared to Han Xi's heartache, Lan Su Xue and Lan Su Man were overjoyed in the grand hall, especially when Lan Su Man found out that the one who had saved her was actually the fourth prince of the Tianxuan dynasty, she couldn't help but feel even more thrilled.

  Is this really the fate arranged by heaven? Are they destined to be together?!

  In her heart, she was secretly delighted, and Lan Su Man couldn't help but slightly turn her head, stealing a glance at Xuan Yang Lie standing over there.

  A figure in red clothes, enchanting and unparalleled, absolute beauty, handsome and unmatched!

  Her heart was racing with excitement.

  Apart from the two princesses' excited and joyful emotions, there was another person whose heart was also filled with joy. And this person was none other than Xue Jian!

  He noticed that his father had deliberately brought together the fourth brother and the two princesses of the Blue Phoenix Dynasty, making him feel excited and joyful.

  The two 'wolves' with piercing eyes have left, and he can rest easy from now on!

  ……

  Two princesses of the Blue Phoenix Dynasty stayed in Tianxuan for ten days, and Cuihuang even specially gave Cuitianqi and Cuiyanglie a holiday, so that they could accompany the princess well and improve relations between the two countries.

  Everyone is well aware of Xuan Huang's sincerity.

  So in these few days, Han Xi Tong had not seen Xuan Tian Qi and Xuan Yang Lie, and for some reason, his mood was particularly gloomy.

  Even if the fifteenth prince came to play with her today, she would still be unenthusiastic. In the end, she couldn't resist the fifteenth prince's pitiful and tearful face, so she agreed to his request and did something that left her speechless -

  Play hide and seek!

  Cough, cough, this is something only kids play with! She knew it, but she was most afraid of the tears of children. Wanting to refuse, however, when faced with the pitiful face of the 15th prince, Han Xi Tong completely had no way out.

  However, as the saying goes, "when it rains, it pours", and so Han Xi Tong brought along Xuan Xiao Ran, who happened to have no classes today.

  As soon as Han Xi Tong made the proposal, Xuan Xiao Ran's face turned sour.

  Phoenix eyes glanced at the Fifteenth Prince, Yu Chen, who was tightly holding Xiao He's small hand, and slightly narrowed. Seeing this, Yu Chen couldn't help but feel a little intimidated and hid behind Xiao He, occasionally poking out half of his head to glance at Xiang Yanran's unpleasant face.

  After all, among so many imperial brothers, he was most afraid of this seventh imperial brother in front of him.

  He had a harmless-looking face, but every time he looked at him, his gaze was fierce and menacing, making him want to pee his pants.

  Han Xi's eyes seemed to have noticed that Jing Yu Chen was afraid of Jing Xiao Ran, and then looked at Jing Xiao Ran's slightly closed phoenix eyes, with a stingy and smelly appearance, suddenly speechless.

  And just by looking at Xun Xiao Ran's gloomy face, Han Xi Tong also knew what exactly was making him angry. Thus he became even more speechless.

  "Xiao Ran, he is your younger brother."

  "Hum, Xuan Yu Chen, let go!"

  Xiao Ran's red lips pursed, her eyes gleaming with malice as she stared straight at Xuan Yu Chen, who was holding Han Xi Tong's small hand, and said in a gloomy tone.

  Just by looking at him, you can tell he's jealous.

  He's even jealous of a five-year-old kid, isn't that too much?!

  Compared to Han Xi Tong's silence, Xing Xiao Ran thought it was a matter of course.

  "Tong'er, you are mine! I don't allow any other man to hold your hand. Xuan Yu Chen, I'm telling you again, let go of her hand!"

  "Don't let go! Why can't Jade pull her sister's hand, and her sister is also Jade's!"

  Although he was a bit afraid of Xue Xiao Ran, Xue Yu Chen also had his stubborn moments, especially when the object was Han Xi Tong. He would rather die than let go. Because he liked this sister too!

  At that moment, inside the Xiao Ya Palace, two boys of different ages, both delicate and refined, once again performed a big-eyed stare-down because of Han Xi Tong. Standing in the middle like a sandwich cookie, Han Xi Tong was completely speechless, with black lines continuously falling from his forehead. Finally, amidst Xuan Yu Chen's loud wailing, Han Xi Tong completely turned against them.

  "Okay, Yuer don't cry anymore, okay..."

  As soon as he saw the delicate and exquisite little child wailing, Han Xi's eyes ached with pity. He immediately took out his handkerchief to wipe away the child's tears. While gently coaxing Xuan Yu Chen, he didn't forget to turn around and whisper a sentence to Xuan Xiao Ran, who was standing behind him with a gloomy face and gritted teeth.

  "You're not a kid anymore, yet you still quarrel with Yu'er every day. As an older brother, you should know how to give in to your younger brother. Look, he's crying now."

  "Xiao Ling, this stinky brat is always going against me, you're being biased..."

  Xiao Ran said with a good tone, not feeling wronged, her red lips slightly pursed, her hands clutching the hem of her clothes, that pitiful appearance, just like a poor little daughter-in-law, made Han Xi's mouth twitch.

  But before she could say anything else, that kid Zhen Yu Chen cried even more wildly, and Han Xi Tong immediately comforted him in a soft voice.

  "Okay, Yuer is a boy, boys can't cry, others will laugh at you if they see..."

  "Wooo, then, Yu'er wants to play hide-and-seek..."

  Upon hearing Han Xi Tong's words, Xuan Yu Chen's tears were held back, but she still spoke in a low sobbing tone.

  Looking at his pitiful appearance with golden beans hanging from the corners of his eyes, Han Xi clenched her silver teeth and agreed!

  Then, inside the originally magnificent Xiao Ya Palace, the sound of children's loud laughter suddenly came.

  After Yu Chen lost a round of rock-paper-scissors, Han Xi Tong then blindfolded him with a cloth strip over his eyes and had him catch them within the designated area.

  Although Han Xi thought the game was childish and only suitable for kids, it's harmless to play with them occasionally. Especially when Xiao Hu saw how much fun they were having, he kept running around them, his face filled with excitement.

  In an instant, inside the Xiao Ya Palace, all the palace maids and eunuchs stopped their work, occasionally giving Xuan Yu Chen hints from the side.

  "Your Highness, on the left, the left..."

  "Your Highness, behind you..."

  "Haha, you're cheating, Jade, I'm over here, haha, come catch me..."

  "Hmm, sister, I've heard you're somewhere around here, and I'm definitely going to catch you!"

  The little man's face was not inferior, and after hearing Han Xi Tong's words, he immediately rushed towards her. Han Xi Tong had a smile on her face and was about to dodge when the small tiger, who had been circling around them, suddenly seemed to have discovered something and stiffened its body, then dashed out of the door like flying.

  Han Xi Tong was caught off guard by Xing Yu Chen's precise grasp as soon as he lost focus for a moment.

  "Ah-ha! Gotcha, sister!"

  "Uh..."

  Being tightly hugged by Jing Yu Chen, Han Xi's eyes were filled with tears. Just then, a flustered voice came from behind them.

  "Damn it, get out!"

  "Wow, isn't this a tiger?! How can there be a tiger inside the palace?! So cute!"

  "How cute! Ugh, I'd rather stew it and eat it!"

  "Your Highness, don't be so cruel, this little tiger is actually quite cute, hehe..."

  With that furious and gnashing sound, even if Han Xi didn't turn her head to look back, she knew who the newcomer was.

  Listening again to that soft and sweet female voice, it seemed a bit familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. Thus, Han Xi's eyes narrowed in puzzlement, and he turned his head towards the source of the sound.

  Suddenly, four figures appeared at the gate of Xiao Ya Palace without knowing when they came.

  Two males and two females, each one is a perfect match in terms of appearance!

  Only the man standing on the far left, wearing a white silk robe with intricate embroidery, was elegant and refined, with a head of straight black hair adorned with an exquisite jade crown, making his face look as if a god had descended.

  Her eyebrows are slender and elegant, her phoenix eyes are narrow and long with a warm luster, her skin has a subtle glow flowing on it, just like a perfect flawless He Shi Bi!

  Standing beside the man in white was a beautiful and elegant young girl.

  A white gauze long dress, set off her slender and elegant figure. Her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows were like a crescent moon, her eyes were like apricot kernels, her nose was small and delicate, and her lips were cherry red, what a beautiful and elegant woman she was.

  She couldn't help but steal glances at the man in white, her eyes filled with admiration that she couldn't conceal. Anyone with discerning eyes could see the affection she held for the man in white.

  Standing next to the white-clad girl was a lovely young girl wearing a pink cheongsam.

  All that can be seen is that this lovely young girl has a charming and elegant appearance, with bright eyes and a gentle gaze. Between her eyebrows, there is an air of pride and nobility that she was born with.

  But at this moment, the girl was smiling with her mouth upturned, playing and laughing with the red-clothed man beside her, laughing very happily.

  And yet, the red-clothed man, at this moment, was a picture of desperation, but it didn't detract from his enchanting and demonic appearance, which remained **unchanged!

  When Han Xi saw the four people outside the door, her face was stunned, especially when she saw Xuan Tian Qi and Lan Feng Da Gong Zhu standing together. The handsome man and beautiful woman's perfect match made her feel uncomfortable for some reason.

  It was as if a huge stone was heavily pressing on her heart, and she could hardly breathe.

  Just as Han Xi's eyes were suppressing something, that Jie's Jing Tianqi seemed to have noticed something and involuntarily raised his eyes to look at her.

  For a moment, their eyes met, and Han Xi's heart skipped a beat, her heart was a little flustered, and she quickly lowered her eyelids.

  And that guy's Jing Tian Qi, when facing Han Xi Tong's pair of eyes with a hint of sadness, his heart also skipped a beat. However, when he saw Han Xi Tong lower her eyelids, his heart felt somewhat bitter...

  Unaware of their thoughts, Xing Xiao Ran immediately went up to greet them after seeing Xing Tian Qi and the others. She also exchanged greetings with the two princesses.

  Blue Phoenix saw two princesses with faces as beautiful as jade and sighed again in their hearts.

  Unexpectedly, the princes of the Tianxuan Imperial Court were all handsome and elegant, truly a dragon among men.

  After learning that Xuan Xiao Ran is Xuan Tian Qi's younger brother, and the three brothers have a good relationship, Lan Su Xue and Lan Su Man's attitude towards Xuan Xiao Ran also changed to being polite.

  After all, if they get married in the future, Xun Xiao Ran will be their younger uncle.

  Compared to the harmony on that side, Han Xi's mood was somewhat melancholic, but she quickly suppressed the unpleasantness in her heart and pulled Xuan Yu Chen's small hand towards Xuan Tian Qi and the others.

  After bowing elegantly to the two princesses, Xiang Tianqi smiled faintly and asked in a soft voice.

  "I heard laughter coming from over here a while ago and couldn't help but come take a look."

  "Hehe, yeah, I just played with Yu'er for a bit earlier."

  Han Xi Tong said faintly, while Xuan Yu Chen beside him smiled with curved eyes, and his brother laughed.

  "Big brother, just now sister and seventh brother were playing hide-and-seek with Yu'er! And Yu'er even caught sister, haha, isn't Yu'er the most formidable?"

  At this point, Yu Chen's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he looked very pleased with himself, like a cat that had just stolen fish, extremely cute.

  Looking at Xing Yu Chen, who was as delicate and lovely as a fairy child, Lan Su Man's heart was filled with joy. Especially when she saw Xing Yu Chen's tender little face, she couldn't help but bend down and stretch out her hand to touch it.

  Who would have known that towards Lan Su Man's actions, originally smiling Yu Chen's eyebrows furrowed, seemingly somewhat disgusted.

  Because he didn't like anyone except his parents and Han sister to touch his face, so Yu Chen took a step back, trying to avoid Lan Su Man's grasp.

  Who knows, behind Xing Yu Chen was a row of cobblestones, the ground was uneven, and the little one took a step back, his small foot touched the protruding part behind him, his body lost balance, and he almost fell.

  Han Xi Tong, who was standing beside Xuan Yu Chen, immediately stretched out her hands and tightly hugged Xuan Yu Chen in her arms as soon as she saw him.

  But unexpectedly, behind her was also a slippery stone, she saved Xuan Yu Chen, but herself accidentally slipped and fell.

  With a cry of "ah", her body lost its balance, and she was about to fall to the ground. However, because she was holding Zhen Yu Chen in her arms, Han Xi couldn't bear to let the child get hurt, so she had no choice but to fall down herself instead.

  I thought that this time, I would have to endure some physical pain and had mentally prepared myself for it. But who knew, just as I was thinking about it, my body had already fallen into a warm, thick and solid embrace.

  Han Xi's eyes narrowed slightly for a moment, and her originally furrowed eyebrows slowly relaxed. Her watery gaze lifted slightly, and the face that entered her line of sight was a warm, elegant, and handsome one.

  His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, unable to conceal his worry. Those long and slender phoenix eyes were noble and magnificent. The black pupils inside seemed to have a magnetic power that attracted her gaze deeply, making her soul tremble slightly...

  "Are you alright, Tong'er?"

  Her hoarse voice, soft and warm, washed over her heart, also slowly bringing Han Xi back to her senses. She lightly closed her eyes, blocking the panic in them, shook her head slightly, and said.

  "It's okay, thank you."

  "It doesn't matter."

  When Han Xi Tong finished speaking, Xuan Tian Qi's slightly furrowed eyebrows slowly relaxed. At this time, Han Xi Tong also quickly left his arms and took a few steps back, keeping a thorough distance from him.

  Feeling Han Xi Tong's deliberate avoidance, Jing Tian Qi's eyes flashed with a hint of melancholy, losing Han Xi Tong's chest, as if something was missing...

  Perhaps even Jing Tianqi himself had never realized the loss and melancholy in his eyes, but this scene fell squarely into Lan Su Xue's eyes as she stood beside him.

  Because her whole heart was always on the white-clothed man by her side, so even if Cui Tianqi concealed it very well just now, she still discovered it.

  At this sight, Lan Su Xue seemed to have sensed something, her beautiful eyes widened, and her face changed slightly. Her heart felt as if it was being pinched by someone's hand, and she almost couldn't breathe.

  Because for these few days, even if this man had been by her side all along, she always felt that his mind was not on herself.

  He appears to be so gentle and refined on the surface, treating everyone with such warmth and moderation, like a warm and beautiful jade.

  No matter in appearance, demeanor or speech, he is so polite and perfect that it's impossible to find any flaws.

  But because he was too perfect, it made her feel unreal.

  Moreover, although he was very gentle and polite to her, it was only a respectful distance, but always kept a distance.

  So every time she was with him again, she always felt that there was an invisible barrier between them. At that time, she only thought it was because they didn't know each other for a long time, and he didn't understand her well, so it would be like this.

  Regardless of that, now looking at him being so worried about this woman, the concern and suppressed love in his eyes could not be hidden, she completely understood.

  It's not that they haven't been together for long, but rather, he has had someone else in his heart all along.

  And this person is the woman in front of you!

  Digression

  The first imperial concubine of the Great Ming Empire, who was supposed to be presented as a peace offering to the Hei Yao Empire, turned out to be... a coffin!

  The coffin was pushed open, and the six-year-old "Princess of Harmony" walked out, but she had already become the Blood Queen who mistakenly entered this space-time. When the cold-blooded Blood Queen met the sinister young Heavenly Master, would she devour him or would he conquer her? This was a battle of wits between two dark forces!
