Chapter 264 Extra Chapter: The Celestial Prince 1

In the nine heavens.

Today is the birthday of the Heavenly Queen, and all the fairies in the celestial realm have come to offer their congratulations.

Fairies like Luo Qiu are responsible for fetching fine wines and spirits from the Immortal Wine Garden to supply the immortals.

The fairies around her were all murmuring about how magnificent the Heavenly Queen's birthday celebration was, but she wasn't interested. She stared blankly at the jade cup.

Just as Luo Qiu was lost in thought, her hand was grasped by Lan Zhi.

Lan Rou looked at her with pleading eyes, "Sister Luo Qiu, I hurt my foot, could you dance in my place?"

Luo Qiu looked at her with concern, "How did you get hurt?"

Lan Rou said with a bitter face, "Last night I thought about dancing at the Empress's birthday party and practiced hard all night, but I hurt my foot. Among the sisters I know, you are the best dancer. In previous years, other sisters would perform. The Empress has never seen my face and is really worried. You can wear a veil. Please help your sister, okay?"

“Okay.” Luo Qiu handed the wine pot to Lan Rou. “But Sister Lan Rou has to take my place, otherwise it won’t be good if one of us is missing.”

Lan Rou was extremely grateful. "Thank you, Sister Luo Qiu."

Inside the magnificent hall.

All the deities who came to offer birthday wishes have arrived. The fairy began to pour wine, and Rong Chen, after presenting his gift, walked to his seat and sat down.

Rong Chen held his wine cup and looked at the fairy dancing in the center of the jade platform. The fairy was wearing a red gauze dance dress and a veil made of crystal beads, so her face could not be seen. Only her captivating watery eyes were revealed.

The fairy's slender waist moved gracefully as she danced, small silver bells adorning her skirt, their ethereal sounds spreading as she moved.

The dancing fairy suddenly met Rong Chen's gaze. Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and Rong Chen's heart suddenly raced. Startled, he looked away, but when he looked again, the fairy's gaze was not on him, as if it had been his imagination.

Rong Chen felt a little thirsty. He picked up the wine in his cup and drank it all in one gulp, but his heart was still beating very fast. He wondered what was wrong with him.

He didn't take it to heart, but on the night the birthday banquet ended, he dreamed that a fairy was seducing him in his arms.

With a slender waist and snow-white skin, the fairy's beautiful eyes were filled with tears as she sweetly called him "Your Highness" and invited him to spend a night of passion.

When he came to his senses, he was filled with indescribable emotions. How could he have been so shameless as to have such a sensual dream?

He thought the matter was over, but he kept dreaming of the fairy for several nights in a row. Rong Chen thought that he might not have seen the fairy's face clearly, which was why he couldn't forget her. He sent someone to inquire about the name of the fairy who danced at the birthday banquet.

After learning her name, he rushed to Lan Rou's residence.

Lan Rou was so frightened by Rong Chen that she didn't dare to breathe. Although His Highness the Crown Prince was very handsome, a fairy like her would never dare to have any improper thoughts. Moreover, she had a guilty conscience. Could it be that the matter of her dancing in place of another at the birthday banquet had been discovered? She was so frightened that she knelt down immediately, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Rong Chen frowned as he looked at Lan Rou's figure. She didn't resemble the fairy on the jade platform. He calmly asked, "Are you the fairy who danced at the birthday banquet?"

Lan Rou broke out in a cold sweat. What should she do? Did His Highness know or not when he asked that question?

But she couldn't deny it, so she could only bite the bullet and agree, "It was Xiaoxian who performed the dance. May I ask Your Highness what wrong Xiaoxian has done?"

Seeing Lan Rou trembling, Rong Chen withdrew his imposing aura and softened his voice, "Raise your head."

Lan Rou looked up cautiously, and when she saw Rong Chen's stunningly beautiful face, her nervousness dissipated considerably.

Rong Chen looked closely at Lan Rou's face. Her eyes didn't look like hers, and her figure didn't look like hers either. Could it be that he was drunk that day and was just imagining things?

But he hadn't been drinking at all when he first saw it that day.

He didn't want to make things difficult for a little fairy, so he said calmly, "Don't be nervous. You danced very well that day. Now get up, the ground is cold."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Lan Rou stood up. She hadn't expected the Crown Prince to be so gentle.

"Well, I won't disturb you any longer, Fairy." Rong Chen didn't want to linger any longer and turned to leave.

Perhaps after we meet today, those dreams will fade away from him.

As night fell, Rong Chen gazed at the deep blue starry sky. The fairy he should have forgotten resurfaced in his mind. He left the palace and came to a spring, where his mind gradually calmed down.

Perhaps it's just a fantasy.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard a noise not far away, and to avoid trouble, he hid.

He saw a fairy dressed in white walking towards him, whose features resembled those of the fairy in his dream.

The next second, his pupils dilated, because the fairy began to undress, her long, ink-black hair spreading out to cover her exquisite figure, but... he had seen everything he was supposed to see...

He quickly looked away, his heart pounding in his chest.

He didn't know what to do. If he left, he was afraid he would never see her again. If he didn't leave, peeping at the fairy bathing would make him seem like a lecher. If he showed up, it would be even more inappropriate; the fairy would definitely be angry if she knew about his frivolous behavior...

He had forgotten that in the Heavenly Realm, apart from the Heavenly Emperor and Empress, the other fairies could only fear him and dared not be angry with him.

Lost in his thoughts, the fairy in the spring had left without him noticing, and the calm water remained undisturbed.

An overwhelming sense of loss welled up inside me. Was it just his imagination again?

From that day on, he became restless and would occasionally go to the spring to look around. He didn't believe it was an illusion, but he could never meet the fairy he longed to see.

In the secluded palace, a celestial attendant noticed that Rong Chen was frequently lost in thought, and asked in confusion, "Is Your Highness troubled by something?"

Rong Chen hesitated for a moment before telling the fairy attendant who had served him since childhood what had happened.

The fairy attendant laughed heartily and teased, "Has Your Highness fallen for a fairy you've only met once? I think it's just that Your Highness has grown up and reached the age to marry the Crown Princess."

The fairy attendant's words made Rong Chen fall into deep thought. Was this... liking?

It's because I like it that I can't forget it and it haunts my dreams.

He understood what it meant to like someone for the first time.

In the sea of ​​blooming flowers, Luo Qiu was watering the flowers, and the flowers seemed to sense her presence and gently nuzzled her.

She couldn't help but smile.

A little fairy maid came in from outside the door and asked her to prepare the nectar to send to Yangqi Palace.

Luo Qiu agreed, and after watering the flowers, she prepared the nectar and followed the fairy attendant who was leading the way to Yangqi Palace.

Passing by a pool emitting an eerie blue light, Luo Qiu felt a little scared. The next second, she was pushed in. The scalding water burned her skin, and intense pain spread throughout her body. Who had she offended?

Is she going to die?

Before she lost consciousness, she saw someone swimming towards her, with a handsome face as beautiful as a dream. Soon she lost consciousness.

Looking at Luo Qiu, who was almost lifeless in his arms, Rong Chen's hands began to tremble slightly. If he hadn't happened to be passing by today, she probably would have melted in the refining pool.

Ke Luoqiu had been soaking in the refining pool for too long; only her pale face remained intact, and she was beyond saving.
