Seeing Ertai's serious expression, Fu Yuxing's usually indifferent eyes and brows softened with a rare smile, and his expression relaxed.
He always felt uneasy about Ertai's contribution, but now that he could tell the truth, the weight on his heart could be lifted.
Having received the answer, he made a plan in his mind, poured himself a cup of tea, and slowly sipped it with his head down.
His face, sculpted like white jade, was almost perfect. A plain white robe outlined his tall and slender figure. His exposed white skin was like ancient jade, flawless, pale, slightly translucent, and had a cool touch.
Every gesture and movement was captivating, and the sandalwood prayer beads on her wrist stood out prominently against her fair skin.
The title of being a living deity in folklore is not given lightly.
Fu Yuxing was not interested in anything around him.
He wouldn't have come if his father hadn't insisted.
He knew his father's plans, but he really had no intention of getting married.
Of course, if it is...
Realizing that he had actually considered getting married because of someone, Fu Yuxing felt a little flustered.
However, thinking that he had sent people to search for a long time without getting any news, a rare look of worry appeared on his face.
Jinxinlou's rule is not to ask guests for any personal information, which is why they have been able to continue operating.
Seeing that the figure he wanted to see was still not in the hall, Ertai was truly puzzled.
He felt that Chen Nian was deliberately avoiding him, and she kept telling him that if she left, he had to take good care of himself and live a good life...
The reason it's described as "seems" is because she might come looking for him, but he can't go to her.
He felt that the little princess was hiding something important from him.
But he asked Qing'er if something had happened to the little princess, but Qing'er looked puzzled and said no.
The doubt in Qing'er's eyes seemed genuine, yet he couldn't find any clues.
Qing'er and Xiao Gege were practically inseparable. Qing'er kept saying no, which greatly dispelled his doubts, but he was still uneasy.
Little did Ertai know that Shen Nian had kept it a secret even from Qing'er, and Qing'er's suspicions were genuine.
The two people sitting together had different thoughts.
Finally, it was the Empress Dowager's voice that caught their attention.
"Niannian, come quick."
The Empress Dowager, seeing that Shan Shan had arrived late and still looked somewhat weary and lost in thought, beckoned him over, her eyes filled with heartache.
"Your Majesty—"
Upon waking up and receiving news that everyone had arrived at the stands, Chen Nian quickly took his medicine, cleaned up the blood-stained handkerchief, and hurried over.
Shen Nian shook her drowsy head. She had been feeling increasingly unwell lately, and was always very sleepy. She knew it was probably a side effect of the increased dosage of her medication.
The medicine could support her body, but it would also make her feel sleepy after a period of being energetic.
Seeing the person he had been longing for finally appear, Ertai's eyes lit up with joy.
Feeling the gaze fixed on him since he entered, Chen Nian called out "Your Majesty," then looked at Ertai and smiled.
Fu Yuxing, who was sitting upright, thinking about how to tell the Emperor and reduce the Emperor's suspicion of Ertai, suddenly raised his head when he heard the familiar voice that had been echoing in his mind for the past few days. He met Shen Nian's face, which was smiling gently and as radiant as a peach blossom.
At that moment, he could clearly feel his heart pounding, but his gaze followed the smiling person on stage...
