Chapter 521 Extra - Heartbeat
"It smells like perfume."
After Shu Tong finished speaking, she waited a long time for Chen Ci's response. Feeling sleepy, she yawned and closed her eyes.
When he heard even breathing around him, Chen Ci smiled.
A virtuous woman who doesn't want to be favored is not a good virtuous woman.
So, Shu Tong still has a secret.
...
The next morning.
When Shu Tong woke up, Chen Ci was no longer beside her. She reached out and touched the blankets, finding them still warm.
Looks like I haven't been up for long.
She breathed a sigh of relief and lay in bed for a while longer. A palace maid came in and asked in a low voice, "Has Consort Liangyuan woken up?"
"I'm awake," Shu Tong replied.
The palace maid curtsied and said, "His Highness the Crown Prince has instructed me to help you rise. Breakfast is ready."
"good."
Shu Tong responded, and the head palace maid stepped forward and lifted the gauze curtain. A group of servants filed in, carrying water, towels, rouge and powder, hairpins and pendants.
This is quite a big operation.
"Where is His Highness?" she asked.
"Your Highness is practicing swordsmanship in the garden." The head palace servant stepped forward to help Shu Tong get dressed.
Shu Tong washed her face, applied light makeup herself, and put on some simple hairpins and ornaments before asking the servants to remove the items.
She herself stood on the veranda, watching the man in the white brocade robe in the garden.
He was practicing his swordplay, each move sharp and skillful. But because of his tall stature and handsome face, and the sunlight surrounding him, he inexplicably gained a radiant and beautiful aura.
Shu Tong's mind automatically captured and visualized these frames of images. When she realized she was admiring them, her heartbeat suddenly faltered.
Her brow furrowed slightly.
It seems that without realizing it, she had developed feelings for this man.
This doesn't seem like good news.
Fortunately, her feelings were still in their infancy, and she wouldn't fall into an irreversible trap.
Thinking this, she turned back to her room and began to concentrate on organizing the relevant information about today's sports meet opening ceremony.
Chen Ci turned around and saw the pink-clad woman standing under the corridor disappear without a trace. He twirled his sword and sheathed it.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, then turned and walked down the corridor, instructing the palace servants to bring up breakfast.
When he returned to his room, he saw Shu Tong sitting at the table by the window, writing. She left him with a charming and lovely back view, the sunlight shining through creating a hazy and beautiful scene.
A warmth filled his heart.
Two idioms flashed through my mind: "raising the tray to the eyebrows in mutual respect" and "sharing weal and woe".
It seems like this kind of life isn't so bad.
Of course, this thought was only fleeting. Even though such days were nice, he quickly adjusted his mindset when he thought of Lin Feiyan and Ye Qingning, who had been banished to this world.
He coughed lightly, stepped inside, and Shu Tong put down her brush and turned to greet His Highness: "This humble servant greets Your Highness."
"Get up," Chen Ci said. "Prepare for breakfast, then you go directly to the sports meet. I'm going to see my uncle."
"yes."
Shu Tong put away the paper she had written on, and seeing Chen Ci washing his face, she handed him a towel.
Chen Ci took the towel, his gaze lingering on her delicate and charming face, noticing her long, thick eyelashes, her pert nose, and her gentle lips.
My heartbeat suddenly went off-beat again, and a bittersweet feeling began to spread through my heart.
"Shu Tong..." he called softly.
Shu Tong looked up at him, her eyes filled with confusion, and blinked her big eyes: "Hmm?"
