Chapter 529 Extra - Exchange
Chen Ci gripped the wave-patterned handkerchief in his hand, but instead reached into his sleeve and took out a handkerchief, handing it to him: "This is for you."
It was his own handkerchief embroidered with bamboo leaves.
Shu Tong hesitated for a moment before taking the handkerchief into her hand: "This concubine thanks Your Highness."
Chen Ci smiled and tucked the floral handkerchief into his sleeve.
Shu Tong: "..."
Why take her handkerchief? Those waves were embroidered by her over a long time. It was her first embroidery piece, and it took all her patience in embroidery to finish it.
I'm afraid she won't want to hold an embroidery needle again in the future.
In other words, this handkerchief is one of a kind!
Shu Tong watched helplessly as the man's gaze shifted to the competition venue, and could only reluctantly look away.
Never mind, I'll just embroider another one later.
The last one.
...
Soon the host announced that the players from the Cuju team needed to come on stage for the awards ceremony.
Each member of the winning team receives a pure gold medal, while the losing team receives an encouragement prize of a pure silver medal.
Of course, this was also Shu Tong's suggestion. Even the design of the gold and silver medals was described by her, and she found an artist to design them and then had them made.
Chen Ci went first, followed by Chu Song, and the two of them went down the viewing platform one after the other.
Once the two teams were in position on the lawn, the host announced the award presenters for the day.
"Please welcome Princess Shuyun and Shu Tong, the opening ceremony planner, as our award presenters."
The host specifically mentioned that it was the planner, Shu Tong, not the Crown Prince's concubine, Shu Tong, which shows that it was also approved by Prince Ling.
This was a sign of respect for her as a planner, and no matter what, Shu Tong felt quite warm inside.
Chen Shi had already stood up and pulled Shu Tong's hand to walk downstairs, whispering, "Sister-in-law, I'll present the silver medal later, and you'll present the gold medal."
"You're the gold medalist, I'm the silver medalist..."
"No, please." Chen Shi said shyly, "I want to present the award to Ye Zhiyuan..."
Shu Tong understood and nodded, winking at her.
The two walked side by side down the steps toward the awards ceremony, one in pink and the other in purple. Both had delicate and beautiful features, but one had a more serene aura and the other a more lively one.
But without a doubt, everyone's eyes in the room were focused on the two of them.
Ye Zhiyuan watched as Shu Tong walked over, a complex feeling suddenly welling up in his heart.
Planner Shu Tong, Princess Shuyun Chen Shi...
So who is who between the two of them?
When his gaze shifted to Chen Shi's face, he suddenly realized that she looked somewhat familiar, like the young man who had gone to see him with Chen Ci that day...
Shu Tong then stood at the head of the champion's line, while Chen Shi stood next to Ye Zhiyuan, glancing at Ye Zhiyuan out of the corner of her eye, her heart pounding with excitement.
He was a tall, handsome man who was also very good at playing Cuju (ancient Chinese football). Although he wasn't a champion, he maintained a never-give-up attitude, which she admired.
The host then announced the start of the awards ceremony, and Shu Tong and Chen Shi took the medals from the ceremonial tray and distributed them to everyone in the team.
After the medals were distributed, His Highness Prince Ling came over and gave a rousing speech at the opening ceremony of the games, first thanking Shu Tong.
"Thank you, Shu Tong, for providing me with such an excellent plan. It has relieved me of a worry and allowed me to finally complete the transformation of the opening ceremony of the sports meet."
His appreciative gaze lingered on Shu Tong and Chen Ci for a moment: "I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate again next time, and I also hope that my nephew, His Highness the Crown Prince, will not be reluctant to release such talent then."
He smiled and said, "After all, Shu Tong is the apple of his eye, a virtuous lady of the Crown Prince's residence."
Chen Ci waved his hand dismissively: "Uncle, you jest. I'll do anything she wants."
After he finished speaking, his gaze shifted to Shu Tong's face, and Shu Tong quickly curtsied: "I am happy to serve you, Imperial Uncle."
After this back-and-forth interaction, the expressions of the people present were naturally varied and interesting. Many people applauded and appreciated the performance, but Ye Zhiyuan swayed as if he had been hit on the head with a thunderbolt.
