The next day, still no one came.
Lu Qingyan's original confidence was reduced by 20% due to the cold wind from the deserted crowd.
Maybe, something delayed it.
The night was dark. The servant received the order and quickly locked the door.
Lu Qingyan staggered back into the house with a desolate look on his face.
On the third day, still no one came.
In Lu Qingyan's mind, things that were originally very certain suddenly became less certain.
He was lost in thought all day long.
Was he going too far? She was the eldest princess, and there might be something important in her study that couldn't be seen. He wanted to go in directly, which was too rash.
Or maybe he was overthinking it. She simply didn't want him to get his hands dirty, so she sent the maid to find the storybook. Without a second thought, he was sullen all day, and the next day, he simply broke his promise and didn't even send her a message.
Looking at it this way, it seems that he was not doing his job properly.
Just when everything was getting gloomy, someone from the palace came with an invitation - it was the Concubine Dowager's birthday party.
Lu Qingyan took the exquisite and intricate post in a daze and asked the palace servant if she had seen the eldest princess in the palace.
The palace maid replied with a smile and a cheerful tone that she had seen him. She said that the eldest princess had been in the dowager's palace these days. Once, she happened to ask him to do something and even gave him a reward.
So that's how it is.
Lu Qingyan held the thin invitation card in his hand as if he was holding the corner of someone's clothes.
My confidence, which had already dropped to the bottom, rose back up a bit, and my heart was beating wildly.
He hasn't seen her for several days.
?
Even so, on the day he entered the palace, Lu Qingyan still dressed very conspicuously, whether intentionally or unintentionally. His tall and handsome profile was reflected in the bronze mirror, and it was very beautiful.
When the princess sees him during the day, her eyes will definitely light up and her eyes will follow him.
Just as Lu Qingyan thought, Yu Huan's eyes really lit up the moment he appeared.
Before following her, Lu Qingyan was indeed a well-known talent in the capital. He had a cool and aloof demeanor, and was able to chat and laugh freely with his friends. He had the demeanor of a high-spirited young man, and he was also talented, which made people admire him very much.
Any poem he composed would attract a lot of praise, and his verses would be memorized and circulated among the literati in the capital.
Even now, when the beautiful lady has found a lover and has given up the imperial examination, the appearance of the elegant and graceful Master Lu will attract everyone's attention.
However, what Yu Huan was looking at was the small mole under his eye.
It's... quite unexpected.
I haven't forgotten to remove the mole.
?
Yu Huan stayed beside the Concubine Dowager.
The Concubine Dowager had a very good relationship with the Empress Dowager. As she had no children of her own, she treated the siblings as her own and provided a lot of support to the Emperor. Therefore, the siblings still respected the Concubine Dowager very much.
The emperor came over immediately after court, toasted the dowager personally, and then sat down to listen to his servants' blessings in turn.
Suddenly hearing Lu Qingyan's name, the emperor looked up with interest.
The young man who stood up in the hall had extraordinary bearing and brilliant literary talent.
The emperor leaned over to Yu Huan and whispered, "Is this the young man my sister left at home? I think my sister has good taste. He's a man of literary talent..."
As he spoke, he habitually looked carefully, and when he saw Lu Qingyan's face clearly, he was suddenly stunned.
?
The reserved and noble handsome young man, dressed in dazzling clothes, sat quietly in front of his seat, not joking or socializing with others.
He just glanced at her from time to time, and then quickly looked away.
If she looked after him, he would lower his eyes and pretend to pour wine, as if he didn't notice.
That's right, I want her to go over there.
There was singing and dancing in the hall, and people were drinking and chatting happily. Everyone felt relaxed.
Yu Huan took the glass of wine and got up from his seat.
Without looking over, one could feel Lu Qingyan's body stiffen for a moment, then he lowered his head as if nothing had happened.
Until Yu Huan walked over and sat across from him, then asked jokingly, "Mr. Lu, why do you look so lonely?"
Lu Qingyan pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and didn't look at her, feeling angry.
But she had no grudges at all. She leaned over, a smile on her face, and tugged at his sleeve very naturally: "Tell me about it."
The breath that was stuck in Lu Qingyan's chest dissipated.
He raised his head, angrily snatched the wine from her other hand, and drank it all.
The wine wet his lips, and he drank so quickly that he choked himself. He covered his face with his hands and coughed a few times before he recovered. However, his face was still covered with a thin layer of red like mist.
Lu Qingyan looked at her steadily: "Even if I made a mistake, can't you just comfort me?"
Yu Huan didn't know what he was talking about, nor did he expect that he was still brooding over what happened that day, but he naturally reached out and patted his back, soothing him: "What's your fault?"
The huge rock that had been piled up for a long time was finally moved away.
After the dance was over, the dancers withdrew in a light and orderly manner. A new group of dancers came in, string music started playing, and the guests toasted each other while not forgetting to say "good".
Lu Qingyan lowered his head, his face flushed even more, and he said softly, "I haven't seen you for several days. I miss you so much."
"I miss you too." Yu Huan responded, patted Lu Qingyan, asked him to come closer, and sat down with him.
It was visible to the naked eye, and everyone who noticed was surprised for a moment by this honor.
Lu Qingyan had a calm face, but his slightly raised eyebrows revealed his uncontrollable joy.
?
After three rounds of drinks, the dancers' postures became boring and the music had lost its novelty.
Yu Huan sat there blankly, blinking slowly, and was about to fall asleep.
