Chapter 522 Extra - You Should Like It
Chen Ci withdrew his gaze and raised an eyebrow slightly: "It's nothing."
"oh."
Shu Tong responded and then secretly glanced at Chen Ci, feeling that His Highness the Crown Prince seemed different today than before.
Ah, what a fickle man!
...
After a quick breakfast, Shu Tong rushed off to the site to coordinate and arrange things, while Chen Ci returned to the reception hall to greet the guests with Ling Wang.
"I heard that Shuyun and Ye Zhiyuan's marriage has been arranged?" Prince Ling asked with a smile.
Chen Ci nodded: "Yes, the announcement will be made to the world soon, and the wedding will take place in three months."
Ling Wang said with a look of satisfaction, "I watched you and Ashi grow up. Now that you've both found your own love, I'm very happy."
Chen Ci laughed: "Ashi is still a child. I didn't intend for her to get married so early, but after all, a daughter is too young to stay at home."
"Marry the right person when you meet him. Wouldn't it be a pity to miss out?" Prince Ling said, "I have seen the guest list for today's banquet. Ye Zhiyuan is on it. I'll take this opportunity to examine this child."
Chen Ci was taken aback for a moment: "Ye Zhiyuan is coming? Is he participating in some project?"
“Minister Ye’s residence sends people to participate in the project every year, and this year’s leader is Ye Zhiyuan,” Prince Ling explained.
Chen Ci nodded: "I see."
As the two were talking, guests began to arrive one after another, and a lively exchange of greetings ensued.
Chen Shi came with Ye Qingning, along with the four Chu and Song brothers who were going to participate in the Cuju (ancient Chinese football) competition. They were all wearing white team uniforms, and each of them was tall and elegant, making them a very pleasing sight to behold.
Prince Ling spotted Chu Song immediately and specifically asked Chen Ci, "The guard following my niece-in-law is quite extraordinary. Was he someone you recruited?"
Chen Ci glanced at him, his gaze softening slightly: "No, he was sent by the Minister's Mansion to protect Qing'er. He is loyal and reliable, so he has been staying at Shuyun Shop."
Prince Ling nodded: "At first glance, he's no ordinary person."
Chen Ci smiled and said, "Not simple."
Of course it's not simple.
Ye Qingning and Chen Shi came over to pay their respects. Ling Wang then joked with Chen Shi about the engagement, saying, "The Prince Consort will also be here today. Did you know that, Shi Shi, that's why you came to the sports meet?"
"No, that's not it. I came here because I like it, and I also miss my royal uncle," Chen Shi argued, blushing.
Ling Wang poked her head: "Haha, I wonder who complains about the sun every year and doesn't come to play, but this year they miss me?"
Chen Shi buried her head in Ye Qingning's shoulder beside her: "Uncle, please stop teasing me..."
Prince Ling laughed heartily, and the topic was thus dropped.
Since Ye Qingning had arrived, Chen Ci led them directly to the viewing platform at the sports field.
From afar, colorful flags could be seen fluttering in the air. Ye Qingning asked with great interest, "I heard that Shu Tong planned the opening ceremony. It sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun."
"It's alright." Chen Ci smiled at her. "You should like it."
After he finished speaking, Chu Song, who was following behind the two, pursed his thin lips.
Chen Shi, who is usually noisy and cheerful, remained silent throughout, which was quite unusual for her.
After escorting Ye Qingning to the stands, Chen Ci settled her in and explained, "There will be an athlete entrance ceremony next, so I need to change my clothes."
Ye Qingning's eyes lit up: "You have a competition today too?"
"The Cuju (ancient Chinese football) team," Chen Ci laughed. "Just joining in the fun."
Ye Qingning glanced at Chu Song beside her: "Chu Song is also on the Cuju team. Talk to him and make sure he doesn't hurt anyone..."
Her voice lowered a few decibels, and Chen Ci naturally moved closer to her. She said, "This person looks a bit fierce, and their emotions are a bit uncontrollable..."
Chen Ci smiled and said, "Okay."
The two's actions were indeed somewhat ambiguous, especially the way Chen Ci leaned in to listen to Ye Qingning speak, which aroused much speculation.
