Chapter 261 The Unintentional Substitute (shuhaige.net)

At this moment, in people's eyes, Mu Beichen was tall and slender, his bright yellow dragon robe shining brightly in the sunlight, and a crown with tassels covering his eyebrows and eyes. Even so, it was still impossible to hide the extraordinary aura that his cold and handsome face exuded.

Immediately afterward, as he took a light step forward, a red carpet was raised high above his head and spread out on the ground in a flash, until it reached almost the end of the long street.

At this moment, people finally turned their attention to Yu Qianqian. She watched as Mu Beichen walked over step by step on the fiery red carpet, neither angry nor smiling, his expression remaining calm and undisturbed.

As they strolled towards the other end of the long street, Mu Beichen's deep eyes narrowed slightly as he met her gaze. When he spoke, his passionate voice rang out in her ears: "Qianqian, I've come to take you home."

The moment he finished speaking, the people who had been silently watching around him finally let out a series of gasps of amazement. The vast majority of them agreed that this woman was extremely lucky to have been chosen by the emperor.

Everyone present couldn't help but sigh inwardly that such an exciting scene was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Yu Qianqian remained unmoved. In her eyes, Mu Beichen was like air, dispensable. The only thing that attracted her to this man was his potential to become a stepping stone.

With a slight turn of her bright eyes, she didn't look at Mu Beichen, nor at the clamoring crowd around her. Instead, she fixed her gaze on the white-haired man staring intently at her from a dark corner of the crowd. For a moment, her heart trembled violently at the sight of him.

Even she herself was surprised and didn't know why, but now when she saw Su Yu, she felt completely different from the carefree feeling she had before.

Su Yu immediately noticed the strange look in her eyes and subconsciously shrank into the crowd, hiding himself in the most secluded gap until Yu Qianqian could no longer find him.

Even so, he still gazed intently at Yu Qianqian in the shadows, and suddenly felt that the way she was surrounded by admirers was dazzling and captivating.

This was the first time he had seen Yu Qianqian with such exquisite makeup since they met many years ago. As she had gradually matured from a naive girl, she had grown into a charming and lovely young woman. Now, after being carefully made up, she looked even more womanly.

At this moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Mu Beichen held Yu Qianqian's hand and walked side by side down the red carpet. Finally, they stepped onto the imperial carriage one after the other and took their seats.

Su Yu was jostled and bumped around in the crowd, watching as the sedan curtain slowly fell down, completely covering their faces, leaving no gap in the magnificent dragon carriage.

As they rode away in their dragon-drawn carriage amidst the cheers of the crowd, until they were no longer visible in his sight, his eyes suddenly narrowed, his dark gaze lingering on the empty street for a long time, until all the onlookers dispersed and followed his gaze into the distance.

Not long after, the group returned to the palace along the same route.

Especially after this incident, Mu Beichen treated Yu Qianqian with extra care, personally escorting her back to her palace and preparing a large amount of her favorite desserts, as well as all kinds of jewelry and fine clothes, and all the good things he could think of.
