"Fourth Prince, my girlfriend just accidentally slipped her hand." Shu Yan ignored the spatial button, his expression calm. His voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet garden. "Please believe me, she didn't do it on purpose."
Sihe: "..."
God the hell, it wasn't intentional; it was thrown out using enhanced superpowers!
He's not blind!
Sweat beaded on the fourth prince's forehead as fear surged within him—a fear akin to having a gun pointed at his head.
"Shu Yan! This is...this is the Imperial Palace!" Si He's face contorted with rage. "How dare you threaten me with your supernatural abilities like this? Where is the dignity of the royal family?!"
"Oh," Shu Yan lowered his head, slowly reaching out to remove the power control button that had been pinned to his chest. He pinched the round clasp and said nonchalantly, "This control button must be broken."
Then, everyone saw the power notification button in his hand, which had been emitting danger warnings, suddenly twisted into powder.
Dust fell from his long, slender fingertips.
Turned into dust.
Shu Yan casually crushed the round button and looked up: "See, it's broken."
Everyone: "..."
Sihe: "..."
Tao Yao stood there, just like Shu Yan had been, with a sincere expression: "Please believe me, my boyfriend really didn't use any supernatural abilities in the royal family, it's just that this button is broken."
Sihe: "..."
What a despicable couple!
Sihehan hunched over, his face ashen, but he dared not say anything more.
The two men pressed their mental energy against his head while simultaneously offering him a way out, feigning concern.
He was very reluctant to take this opportunity to back down!
As Sihe stood there, the conveyor belt had already transported them all to the palace gates.
Everyone stood together at the main entrance, the atmosphere tense.
Having witnessed everything from the entrance, the royal butler personally carried a tray and stood before the group of privileged individuals. He bowed slightly and respectfully broke the silence, saying, "Please, gentlemen, take out the control buttons."
First, the butler presented the tray to Shu Yan.
Shu Yan smiled and took one, as if nothing had just happened.
In that instant, Sihe suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
This time, the control button no longer emitted a danger warning sound, and Shu Yan quickly put it on.
Tao Yao took one of the items from the tray and gently pulled Xie Langhuan, who was standing to the side, over: "Let me help you put it on."
Just as Tao Yao was bending over to button Xie Langhuan's clothes, she heard Si He lean over and say in a low, menacing voice, "Miss Tao, you'd better take more bodyguards with you when you go out..."
Before he could finish speaking, Tao Yao seemed to be startled and unconsciously took a step back, her wine glass landing squarely on Si He's instep.
This stomp startled the woman herself, causing her to slash backward with her elbow.
Bang!
The elbow struck Sihe squarely in the chin, causing him to grunt and stumble back several steps, a faint taste of blood seemingly lingering in his mouth.
Within two breaths, the fourth prince was twice injured.
"you!"
Sihe covered his chin, shocked, furious, and enraged. If his anger could be seen through his eyes, he would have burned Taoyao to death on the spot.
"Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!" Tao Yao jumped up as if she had been greatly frightened. She patted her chest, "You scared me to death! Why did the Fourth Prince have to hide behind me and say such harsh things to scare me like that..."
As he spoke, his voice even became nasal.
She jumped up and down, hiding behind Shu Yan and grabbing his sleeve, feeling extremely wronged. "Yan, how can the Fourth Prince bully others by taking advantage of his power? How can he bully me by relying on his status? He even threatened to assassinate me. Does the Marshal agree to let him treat his guest like this?"
Shu Yan put his arm around Tao Yao's waist and pulled her to his side.
He sneered, looking at Sihe with the same ruthless, love-struck villain who had been blinded by beauty and forgotten his parents and ancestors: "The Fourth Prince's ability has probably been misdiagnosed. His Highness's ability is probably not to alleviate pain, but rather to bully women!"
Sihe: "..."
It's obvious that Tao Yao is just putting on airs and then turning the tables on everyone else!
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Si Yi, the protagonist of tonight's banquet, stride out of the palace.
“Fourth Brother,” Si Yi, dressed in a white tailcoat with various gemstones on the shoulder strap, walked over in a few steps, raised his hand, and patted Si He on the shoulder.
The cufflinks glittered under the light, reflecting off Si Yi's features and making him look even more handsome. "So Fourth Brother is already here to greet my guests. But all the guests I invited tonight are of very high status, so please don't neglect them."
He patted the Fourth Prince's shoulder lightly a few times, then turned to face Tao Yao and the others who were standing there.
Her gaze moved from Shu Yan's hand holding Tao Yao's hand, with the other resting on her waist, before finally meeting Shu Yan's eyes.
Si Yi nodded and smiled, "Young Master Shu, it's nice to see you again. Welcome."
His calm and unhurried demeanor, though not like that of a king, already subtly exudes a kingly aura.
The Fifth Prince has been working hard to become a qualified successor to the position of Marshal.
Shu Yan protected Tao Yao without changing his posture and nodded slightly: "Fifth Prince, happy birthday."
"Thank you." Si Yi gestured for everyone to enter the palace. "Please, everyone, do me the honor of coming in and have a cup of wine."
Shu Yan led Tao Yao through the gate, followed by Xie Langhuan. The bodyguards of the group all nodded and bowed before entering.
Only Sihe stood there, looking pale and sickly. Compared to the exquisitely dressed Fifth Prince, he seemed weak and disheveled.
"Fourth Brother," Si Yi said softly as he brushed past him, "Father thinks you're not capable enough to let you be a playboy who does whatever you want. He's not making you a fool. Don't always act like a complete idiot."
“And another thing,” Si Yi said, standing there as if he knew everything without even looking, “Fourth Brother, please manage the expression on your face in public.”
The group in the garden enjoyed a great show for free, and were quite pleased with themselves for arriving early. They then turned back to eating and drinking as usual.
Seeing that everyone had left, Silili, who was hiding by the gate, nervously forwarded the video she had just taken to Li Yunsi.
The two were fighting fiercely in front of Yanli Courtyard this morning, tearing each other apart until they even pulled down each other's underwear. Now they're walking together as best buddies, chatting away.
[Sili: [Video][Photo][Photo][Video]]
[Sili: Have you seen through Taoyao's true colors? Even a century-old Longjing tea from a few years ago doesn't have such an overflowing fragrance!]
Li Yunsi replied quickly.
[Li Yunsi: Hehe, what's so special about this?]
Tao Yao is not just Longjing tea; she is also a white lotus flower that emerges from the mud and is stained all over!
With both combined, you're helpless!
