Chapter 506 Extra - Eyes Meet
The next day, Chen Ci went to the Ling Prince's residence and inquired about the opening ceremony of the sports meet.
Prince Ling said that he would give a hundred gold pieces to anyone who could come up with a new and impressive set of etiquette.
He also said that regardless of gender or age, his house receives countless job applicants every day, but none of them have satisfied him.
Chen Ci had probably made up his mind.
It seems that Shu Tong wants to participate in this recruitment because of the hundred gold coins.
but……
She was a concubine in the Crown Prince's residence, and she received a monthly allowance and many rewards. How could she go to such lengths for a mere hundred taels of gold?
Chen Ci still felt that she was there to see Lin Zhiyuan.
So he immediately ordered Chen Tang to send people to Shu Tong's hometown to investigate what kind of entanglement Shu Tong had with Lin Zhiyuan.
...
After having lunch that day, Chen Ci strolled to Wutong Residence. The afternoon sun was shining brightly, and a gentle breeze was blowing.
The entire Wutong Residence was so quiet that you could hear the clear chirping of birds.
He went around the corridor and saw Shu Tong sleeping soundly on the table in her swing pavilion.
Haitang brought out the fruit and was about to wake Shutong when she saw him, but Chen Ci raised his hand to stop her.
The maids around her quietly curtsied as a sign of respect, and were then dismissed by Haitang.
Only Shu Tong and Chen Ci remained in the vast garden.
Chen Ci tiptoed around to the swing pavilion and saw Shu Tong's sleeping profile.
Her skin was crystal clear and delicate, and her long eyelashes covered her eyes, which inexplicably made people's hearts flutter.
Her lips were slightly upturned, and she seemed to be smiling, perhaps having a sweet dream.
Chen Ci curled his lips and looked down at the table, where he saw that the spread-out papers were actually the outline of the opening ceremony of the sports meet.
He looked at it with great interest. Although Shu Tong's handwriting was as ugly as ever, the manuscript was indeed well-organized and quite original.
Honor guard, flag-raising ceremony, marching formations, performances...
As Chen Ci read through the lines, he was surprised to find that the opening ceremony had a similar feel to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
Just as he was about to examine it closely, a sudden gust of cool wind swept by, and Shu Tong, who was leaning on the table, twitched his nose and suddenly sneezed.
She then opened her eyes blankly, and after seeing the familiar, antique scenery before her, she slumped back onto the table, resting her chin on her hand, and sighed softly.
He muttered to himself, "I thought I could go back after a good night's sleep, but it turns out I'm still in the Great Wu Dynasty..."
Chen Ci didn't quite hear what she said, only making out a few words: "Can we go back, and to the Wu Dynasty..."
Seeing that Shu Tong hadn't noticed his intention, Chen Ci coughed lightly, startling Shu Tong, who was about to close her eyes and go back to sleep.
She stiffly turned her head and met Chen Ci's deep eyes.
She was so startled that she stood up abruptly, but then fell to the side because her legs were numb.
Chen Ci reacted quickly, grabbing her waist and pulling her up.
When their eyes met, they saw the man's calm, deep eyes and his handsome, refined face, along with a half-smile in his eyes.
Shu Tong suddenly felt her heartbeat getting out of control and off-beat.
The two held this position for about five seconds, and Shu Tong's face began to turn red, her mood gradually becoming swayed.
As someone who's obsessed with good looks, this man's appearance and charm are simply irresistible, especially since he's her rightful husband...
Just as she was lost in the man's deep eyes, a bird flapped its wings and flew up from the swing set in front of her, startling Shu Tong into lowering her gaze.
"Your Highness..."
What are you thinking about!
His Highness the Crown Prince belongs to the Crown Princess; she is going to seek freedom!
