Dianxia Qingcheng

Chapter 6: Your Highness, come here

Views: NaN

At the end of the corridor, you can see the whole view of the palace. The glazed tile roof reflects the pure white moonlight, and the four corners of the palace are high up, just like the delicate and agile flying swallows.

The palace is surrounded by a flowing green pool with duckweed all over the ground. It is dark green and tranquil, with crystal clear water light flashing, and it looks ethereal and like a fairyland.

On the side was a small courtyard. Behind the round arch stood a little eunuch, pacing anxiously.

When the young eunuch saw two people walking out of the corridor, he ran over happily.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness, and to Lord Pei."

Pei Zheng responded calmly, and then ordered, "Take him to clean up. How can he attend the banquet in this state?"

Qi Changyi's hair was a little messy and his clothes were wrinkled in a few places. He twisted his sleeves with his fingers and bit his lower lip with his pearly teeth.

The young eunuch nodded and pulled Qi Changyi into the villa.

As Qi Changyi walked, he looked back at Pei Zheng, but he had already turned around and walked into the hall.

The young eunuch Li Yu was Qi Changyi's personal attendant. Just in the blink of an eye at the banquet, Qi Changyi disappeared. He couldn't find him anywhere and was so anxious that he paced around the palace gate.

Fortunately, we met Lord Pei Zheng, who helped us find the prince.

Li Yu knew the indescribable relationship between Pei Zheng and Qi Changyi. He also understood what to say and what not to say. Some things have to be kept secret for a lifetime.

Li Yu brought Qi Changyi to an empty house in the other courtyard. He went out for a while and brought back a baby-faced girl, who seemed to be a maid in some palace.

"Auntie, please help my little Yuzi. I will repay you for your kindness by working like a cow or a horse. Is that okay?"

Li Yu begged and pleaded with everyone before he finally pulled the little maid into the house. The little girl puffed out her cheeks and stared with round eyes, and agreed.

Upon seeing Qi Changyi sitting in the room, the little maid was obviously startled and quickly knelt on the ground, "Greetings, greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince."

Qi Changyi smiled obediently and went forward to help the little maid up.

The little maidservant carefully re-tied Qi Changyi's hair with trembling hands, and also straightened his robe from top to bottom.

When she got close to Qi Changyi's body, she smelled the faint fragrance on him, and then secretly glanced at his handsome face, and her cheeks instantly turned red.

His Royal Highness the Prince is truly extremely beautiful, with eyes that make him look like some kind of alluring enchantress. However, this enchantress also has a pure and lovely quality that can easily make people fall for him.

The little maid couldn't help but take another sneaky look, and this time she discovered something unusual on the prince's face.

"Your Highness, your chin..."

The little maidservant dared to speak out.

Li Yu leaned over to take a look and exclaimed in a low voice, "Oh no, oh no, Lord Pei didn't know how to be gentle! Your Highness has delicate skin and tender flesh, how can you face others with a few fingerprints on your face!"

The maidservant didn't hear what Li Yu was mumbling, so she took out a box from her sleeve and said, "Xiao Yuzi, I have some watercolors given by the princess. How about I try to cover up your Highness?"

Li Yu thought about it and realized that the banquet was about to begin and there was no other way, so he could only let the little maid fiddle with Qi Changyi's face.

Qi Changyi sat there with a good temper throughout the whole process, letting the two of them do whatever they wanted, smiling all the time, without even frowning.

The little maid covered the finger marks on Qi Changyi's chin and applied some rouge and lipstick on him.

After a long time, Li Yu hurriedly took Qi Changyi to the main hall.

The Emperor had not arrived yet, and the hall was filled with military officials, who were talking eagerly in groups of two or three and did not notice the two people who slipped in from the side.

It was not until Qi Changyi sat down in the corner of the back row that Li Yu knelt beside him and breathed a sigh of relief.

This banquet was held to welcome General Zhao and his subordinates who were guarding the border. Zhao Litang was naturally the focus of attention in the entire hall.

His seat was right next to the golden throne in the main hall, and sitting opposite him was the handsome prime minister Pei Zheng.

When Zhao Litang raised his eyes and spotted a small figure sitting in the corner, his heart, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly began to beat violently.

Is that his little Changyi

Pei Zheng seemed to notice Zhao Litang's staring eyes, and his expression instantly turned cold. He sent away several ministers who were surrounding him, turned around and quietly hooked his finger at Qi Changyi who was in the corner not far away.

Then he opened his lips slightly and said silently, "Your Highness, come here."
