Chapter 43.2 : Imperial Banquet
Yan Ning Luo similarly turned her gaze back from outside and her eyes inadvertently met with Xuanyuan Che ink black ones but the latter was already getting off the horse carriage and then extending his hand out towards her, looking like he wanted to help her off.
Yan Ning Luo was clearly a little startled but she did not hesitate too long before she offered up her hand to let Xuanyuan Che help her off the horse carriage.
That should be the one and only time those two people had come into such intimate physical contact over so many years.
"It’s His Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Ning Feng! They really look so compatible together!"
At that moment, the Young Masters and Young Misses from the various n.o.ble families were also arriving and when they saw the couple getting off from the carriage hand in hand, they all then let out gasps of envy and approval.
Xuanyuan Che was wearing a suit of pale gold palatial dress, a highly lifelike four clawed golden dragon embroidered upon it. He had a tall and well built body and the man with such high prospects was at the moment absolutely oozing with the strongly irrefutable n.o.ble and authouritative air as the Crown Prince of a kingdom. Hence, even though he already had his beau right by his side, he had nevertheless still attracted the admiration of countless chamber maidens there.
"Let’s go." Xuanyuan Che had not noticed any of those strange gazes at all and he went on to mutter something indifferently to Yan Ning Luo before the two of them went in through the palace gates one after the other.
—- Inside the Palace Annex —-
Yue Xin Yan had already organized her things. She absolutely adored the colour blue and that was why the clothes she wore were always all blue. But the colour also suited her very well, mischievous and quick witted like a sprite.
"Ah Jin, where is Big Brother Ye Li?" Yue Xin Yan asked when she saw the lad standing outside by the door.
Ah Jin smiled gently and replied: "His Highness is waiting for you."
Yue Xin Yan revealed a sweet smile upon hearing that and the moment she stepped out, she saw a man standing there with his hands behind his back, his dark red brocade robe in contrast against the full head of silver hair, a sight filled with an indescribable kind of beauty.
A great number of cherry blossom trees had been planted in the Palace Annex. It was a scenery that one would not be able to see in the Water Edge Kingdom, as such plants were not able to grow in places where there was extreme changes to its weather.
A breeze blew in, stirring up the man’s long silver hair and his broad sleeves, and blowing off a countless number of flower petals to scatter and fall from the branches, landing upon his hair and his clothes. He raised his head up slightly, and a single petal fell right upon that set of dark red lips. In that instant, it was just so breathtakingly beautiful.
Both Yue Xin Yan and Ah Jin behind her were caught in a daze gazing at that sight.
Ever since Qing Ye Li had appeared in the Water Edge Kingdom, he had been wearing that mask. No one had ever seen his real face but with the elegant and n.o.ble air that emanated from him and that mysteriously profound cultivation he possessed, his countenance would surely be anything but ordinary.
The rumours said that his looks were hideous and that was why he did not dare reveal his face before people.
But that was also because no one had really come to interact with him closely before.
There were some kinds of people who were able to make you disregard and ignore all other external factors but just cause a person to be shaken to the core by his very being.
And Qing Ye Li, was unmistakably just that kind of a person.
No one knew his heart and hence, there was always a certain desolate bleakness about him, a cold indifference that seemed to isolate himself, pushing others a thousand miles away.
Everything anyone saw him like that, one just could not help but unconsciously feel their heart wince with pain for this powerful, but lonely man.
Yue Xin Yan’s eyes grew inexplicably red rimmed watching him and could not help but break that rather sad and depressing atmosphere by opening her mouth to call out: "Big Brother Ye Li, you..... must not be sad. You will surely find that Big Sister."
She was thinking, that Big Brother Ye Li must be feeling so sad and dispirited because he had been unable to find that lady in the portrait.
