Chapter 61 Help! The Crown Prince is too good at this!
The morning air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and the scent of damp earth, and the servants in the mansion were already busy at work.
Upon seeing Qian Yueshu, everyone stopped to pay their respects, their eyes filled with amazement.
Their second daughter rarely dresses so simply!
Even her whole demeanor looks much softer.
The gates of the Qian residence slowly opened.
The driver had already set out the footrests and was preparing to help her get into the carriage.
Just then.
Qian Yueshu's gaze inadvertently swept across the end of the street in front of the door, and she suddenly froze.
A very familiar carriage slowly drove towards her...
That's a symbol that only the Crown Prince can use!
A coiled dragon encircles auspicious clouds, exuding an unmistakable royal majesty.
He extended his hand to her: "I came here especially to pick you up!"
Qian Yueshu's heartbeat.
In that instant, several beats were missed.
The morning light seemed to favor His Highness the Crown Prince, lingering on him and bathing him in a light golden glow, a gentle light that exuded an undeniable noble aura.
Qian Yueshu was stunned.
"I came here especially to pick you up," he said again, his tone even carrying a hint of doting affection.
"Your...Your Highness..." She opened her mouth, still somewhat incredulous.
Why would he come?
For ordinary banquets, that's fine.
But this was his maternal grandmother's banquet, and it was the Duke's mansion, which controlled 300,000 troops.
Whether it was for the sake of his secure position as crown prince or for his personal feelings.
The Crown Prince should have gone to the Duke's mansion to curry favor much earlier.
But he came to pick her up early in the morning.
Moreover, he even drove the Crown Prince's carriage here, making it clear to everyone that "Qian Yueshu is the woman I care about."
Help!
His Highness the Crown Prince is so clever!
He knows.
He cares about it.
Knowing she was afraid of such a gathering of celebrities, he came to pick her up in person, giving her a great sense of security!
On the carriage.
These past two days, Xiao Qingxuan has indeed been busy preparing gifts for the Duke of Lin's mansion, busy with all the arrangements for the birthday banquet, and even giving his opinion on the guest list.
So he didn't come to see her for two days.
At this moment, they boarded the carriage.
Xiao Qingxuan couldn't wait to reach out and gently pull her into his arms, his eyes filled with undisguised longing and concern: "How have you been these past two days?"
The man's fingers gently stroked her hair.
"Very good." She replied softly, "I just miss Your Highness a little!"
He chuckled softly, then suddenly lifted her chin and kissed her: "I've missed you too, so much..."
The kiss came suddenly, yet it was so tender it was intoxicating.
Qian Yueshu felt weak all over and unconsciously climbed onto his shoulder.
I recall the last time I went crazy in the carriage.
Xiao Qingxuan's hand had already indecently slipped inside her clothes.
The cool fingers touching her warm skin jolted her awake.
"Your Highness..." she hurriedly pressed his hand down, "Don't mess up my hair and makeup."
Her voice carried a hint of coquettishness.
Xiao Qingxuan paused, then quickly apologized, "It was my recklessness!"
But Qian Yueqiu's cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were sparkling. Her coy and inviting appearance only made people more eager to get what they wanted.
what to do?
He just wanted to pounce on her right now.
However, since his Yue'er was unwilling, he didn't want to force her.
"Let me take a good look at you." His fingers gently caressed her cheek. "Now, are you still afraid to attend the banquet?"
"I'm not afraid. With Your Highness here, I'm not afraid at all."
Xiao Qingxuan simply hugged her tighter and gently rested his chin on the top of her head, feeling her gentle embrace.
"When we arrive at the Duke's mansion, just stay close to me," he said softly. "Don't worry about those idle gossips."
These words, spoken so casually, brought a lump to Qian Yueshu's throat.
It turns out he cared about everything about her!
Lin Guogong Mansion.
The carriage came to a steady stop ten steps away from the gate of the Duke's mansion.
Having already received word of the situation, the group personally went out to greet him, shouting in unison, "Welcome, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
The carriage curtain was gently lifted by a hand with distinct knuckles.
His Highness the Crown Prince bent down and stepped out of the carriage.
He didn't speak immediately, but simply raised his hand to signal everyone to stand up.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, he once again reached for the still-closed carriage curtain.
This moment.
Everyone's breath hitched instinctively.
Countless gazes, some bright, some dim, some surprised, some doubtful, all followed the hand reaching into the carriage.
Amidst intense public scrutiny and silent speculation.
A slender, white hand, with a hint of hesitation, gently placed itself on the waiting palm of His Highness the Crown Prince.
Then a slender figure, with the help of the prince, gracefully leaned out.
It was Qian Yueshu.
When the Crown Prince's warm and strong hand unhesitatingly enveloped her slightly cool fingertips, and even took her hand completely into his palm, leading her to stand steadily in front of everyone.
Qian Yueshu felt a surge of heat rush to the top of her head, and her ears instantly burned.
Help!
Her Crown Prince is really good at this.
She was given the dignity and status she desired.
Qian Yueshu could clearly feel countless gazes coming from all directions.
There was astonishment, scrutiny, disbelief, and almost undisguised probing and comparison from the women of the Duke's mansion, and even... a few cold, sour glances.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone.
The Crown Prince held her hand so intimately as they stood before the gates of the Duke's mansion, a symbol of supreme power and wealth...
Qian Yueshu subconsciously tried to pull her hand back.
Just as she was about to back away, the Crown Prince tightened his grip on her hand, his grip not too lightly, not too heavily.
He...did it on purpose!
The Crown Prince did not do it unintentionally or negligently; rather, he deliberately proclaimed her existence and the position he had bestowed upon her in front of everyone.
My thoughts drifted back to the past.
once Upon a time?
She stood in the crowd, but she was the most inconspicuous one!
Even though she had already become the Crown Prince's concubine.
Even the Crown Prince himself wouldn't stand with her.
He wanted to avoid suspicion and give Liu Yu enough respect.
Every time, Qian Yueshu would stand in the shadows with a bitter expression, watching her Crown Prince and Liu Yu appear together as a couple!
I never imagined that one day...
Would she stand before this person with such a haughty demeanor?
And at this moment.
The man holding her hand.
He was using the most direct method to firmly pull her out of those dark fragments of memory...
Before the powerful Duke's mansion, and in front of all those who may have once looked down on her, they stood up for her.
She let him lead her, her steps steady and unhurried, as she walked towards the gate of the Duke's mansion...
The banquet at the Duke of Lin's mansion was indeed extremely grand.
The Zhu courtyard is deep and secluded, with pavilions and terraces arranged in a pleasing and orderly manner. The melodious sounds of string and bamboo instruments drift over, intertwining with the greetings and laughter of the guests.
Qian Yue walked slowly into the garden.
She could feel countless gazes instantly focusing on her.
There was curiosity, scrutiny, and the lingering contempt...
