The parade stopped, and the jovial crowd instantly fell silent.
They all turned their heads left and right, wanting to see which guy was so bold.
The Grand Eunuch Qianhe hurriedly ran into the sedan chair, wanting to see how Chi Yuan was doing.
"Your Majesty, are you alright..." Qianhe stepped forward cautiously and asked, about to help Chi Yuan remove the flowers that had fallen on him.
Chi Yuan stared at the gauze curtain, his sharp gaze seemingly piercing through layers of barriers and locking onto the culprit outside.
Seeing the humble gesture, he waved his hand.
Qianhe immediately withdrew his hand, which he had extended halfway.
Chi Yuan picked up the bright red peony that had fallen onto his knee.
A familiar scent wafted from the tip of my nose.
This fragrance seems to come from someone.
A memorable face flashed into his mind. Chi Yuan glanced outside the sedan chair, lifted the gauze curtain, and stepped out.
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
The people on both sides hurriedly knelt down, and even the scholars on horseback dismounted and knelt before their emperor as quickly as possible.
With Qianhe's help, Chi Yuan stepped down from the sedan chair, playing with the peony in his hand, his eyes instantly locking onto a beautiful woman in the crowd.
Shen Yuchen's heart pounded rapidly as she knelt on the ground.
As the tip of his shoe approached out of the corner of his eye, fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on the tip of his nose.
Shen Yulou, standing to the side, seemed fearless, even taking the time to tidy his hair.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry..." Seeing that Chi Yuan was about to push through the crowd in front of them, Shen Yuchen rushed out to take the blame for her brother.
As a result, Chi Yuan didn't even glance at him and walked straight up to Shen Yulou.
"Young Master Shen, your flowers..." Chi Yuan handed the peony to Shen Yulou.
Shen Yulou looked up.
The beauty slightly raised her eyes, her watery phoenix eyes holding a dreamy, almost intoxicated look, and the black mole at the corner of her eye seemed to come alive, drawing Chi Yuan's gaze.
Her slender neck and the red hair tie that twirled in the breeze created a striking color contrast.
Chi Yuan's breathing became slightly sluggish.
Her slender hand gently caressed Chi Yuan's wrist, sliding down inch by inch.
Chi Yuan then realized that Shen Yulou not only had a pair of delicate, boneless hands, but even his nails were incredibly beautiful, neat, and translucent.
The delicate, warm touch gradually settled on my palm, and I gently took the peony from his hand.
Chi Yuan felt a moment of emptiness in his heart.
"Your Majesty, I am truly sorry. I originally intended to throw the flowers at someone else, but I accidentally threw them with too much force and they landed on Your Majesty, offending your imperial health..."
Shen Yulou spoke softly, sounding rather pitiful.
He took the peony flower and was about to put it in his hair, but unfortunately, perhaps because he couldn't see it...
The peony flower just wouldn't stick in my hair; it slipped right off.
Shen Yulou instinctively reached out to pick up the flowers from the scattered red hem of his dress, but Chi Yuan was faster than him.
"Who are you going to smash it for?" Chi Yuan picked up the peony flower and, holding the stem, personally placed it on Shen Yulou's head.
“What a handsome young man…” Shen Yulou tilted his head as Chi Yuan pinned the flower to his head.
"Really?" After finishing with the flowers, Chi Yuan placed his hands on Shen Yulou's shoulders and pressed them firmly.
"Qianhe" Chi Yuan waved his hand, and the Grand Eunuch immediately flicked his whisk, stepped forward, and bowed to receive the order.
"Issue my decree: since Young Master Shen has behaved improperly in front of the palace, then tomorrow Prime Minister Shen shall send Young Master Shen to the palace to properly learn the rules."
Chi Yuan bent down, lifted Shen Yulou's chin with his index finger, and forced him to focus his gaze on him.
"Your Majesty, this won't do! My brother is physically weak; he definitely won't be able to handle learning the rules!"
Shen Yuchen, who dotes on her brother, couldn't take it anymore and clenched her small fists, wanting to rush up and push Chi Yuan away.
However, his upbringing forbade him from laying a hand on the monarch.
He could feel Shen Yuchen's anger, so intense it seemed like she was about to breathe fire and burn him to death.
