The willow leaves are slowly

On the way to Shadow Pavilion, Liu Qingyin was wondering what kind of clothes Ye Hansheng would wear, and she even had a little anticipation.

"Morning, Miss Liu!"

"Morning, Miss Liu. You are so beautiful today."

"Morning, morning, thank you. You look quite energetic."

Liu Qingyin walked slowly along the corridor towards Moying Garden, with a trace of anticipation lingering in her heart. She kept wondering whether Ye Hansheng would wear that "couple style" outfit.

When she reached the door, she even adjusted her breathing, took a deep breath, and gently pushed the door open. Through the circular hollow on the entrance screen, she saw Ye Hansheng writing something at the desk.

His hairstyle seemed to have changed a little today. His black hair was like a waterfall, tied with a silver crown. There were some flowing hair on both sides of his forehead, which fluttered gently with his movements. On his well-defined face, his eyebrows were slightly raised, black and firm, his eyelashes were thick and long, and his eyebrows were sometimes slightly frowned and sometimes smooth. He held the brush, his fingers were slender and strong, with distinct joints, and he wrote freely and fluently.

Under the reflection of the hollow round frame, he looked like an exquisite painting that should only exist in heaven...

"Why doesn't Ayin come in?" Ye Hansheng said as he wrote without raising his head.

"Uh... I'm sorry to bother you since you're so serious."

Ye Hansheng put down his pen and said, "I'm done."

He looked up and saw Liu Qingyin walking slowly around the screen.

She was very different today than usual. Her long black hair hung down behind her, and the delicate buns on both sides highlighted her cuteness. Her skin was as white as snow, like a porcelain doll, with a slight blush on her cheeks, willow-shaped eyebrows, bright and lively eyes, like the stars in the night sky, a delicate and small nose, and rosy and plump lips, slightly upturned, with a smile on her face.

She has a graceful and light figure, and her skirt flutters with her steps, like a smart little deer, bright and lively. Her smile seems to melt people's hearts, and her pleasant voice ding-dongs, like the sweet spring water in the mountains, refreshing...

"What are you writing?" Liu Qingyin looked at him and asked with a smile.

Ye Hansheng also responded with a warm smile: "I'm writing the princess' birthday message and gift list."

The two looked into each other's eyes, both with warm and bright smiles.

"Hey, you two are exchanging glances, are you going to get married? The clothes you're wearing are similar. To be honest, the styles of these clothes are nice, but a bit plain." Liuyun came in at some point and looked up and down at the two people in front of him who were wearing "couple outfits".

"Uh...Brother Liuyun is joking, it's just...just..." Liu Qingyin hesitantly.

"Don't worry, I'll treat you to wedding wine during the ceremony! Remember to prepare a big red envelope!"

I have to say, Ye Hansheng always says shocking things!

"Hahahaha", Liuyun laughed, "Okay, I'll add some dowry to my stepsister then!"

…………

In the carriage entering the palace.

"Why... did you choose this outfit?" Liu Qingyin observed his expression and asked softly.

"Then why is Ayin?" Ye Hansheng leaned over and moved his face closer to her.

"I asked the question first, so you have to answer it first!" She raised her chin and glanced away.

After waiting for a while and seeing no answer from Ye Hansheng, Liu Qingyin's eyes fell on his face. He looked at her steadily with a smile on his face, his eyes deep and bright.

He moved closer and whispered in her ear, "Whatever Ayin chooses, I will choose the same way."

The slightly hoarse voice was quite bewitching with the addition of breath. The warm breath sprinkled behind her ears and neck. Liu Qingyin only felt her heartbeat quicken and the blush on her face deepened.

Very good, it’s answered, but it seems like it’s not answered!

The palace was unusually festive compared to the past. All the palace servants changed into brightly colored palace robes. Various exquisite lanterns were hung high above the palace walls. Red silk and gold threads were intertwined and wrapped around each jade cloud-patterned column. Although it was freezing cold in winter, one could smell bursts of fresh floral scents, which had a unique charm along with the cold air.

The palace servants were carrying all kinds of food, busily shuttling back and forth in the corridor leading to the Qionghua Palace. Everyone had a beaming smile on their face. Every year at the princess' birthday banquet, they would receive handsome rewards. If they could show up in front of His Majesty, they might be able to rise to fame overnight.

"Will we sit separately later?" Liu Qingyin asked quietly.

"No, Ayin, just follow me. Don't be nervous. It's just a meal."

"Alas, there are so many rules here. I have to kneel when I meet anyone. My knees can't bear it."

Ye Hansheng smiled and said, "Talk less and eat more later. If there is anything, you can let me and Acheng know."

"Acheng, are you nervous?" Liu Qingyin asked.

"I come here every year for many years." A Cheng replied softly.

"Very good, please help me, the two masters."

In the past, when attending high-end dinners, as a female star, she had to always pay attention to her facial expressions, her manners, and staying elegant. Most importantly, don’t get the borrowed dress dirty!

She had to be careful all the time when eating to make sure her lipstick didn't get rubbed off. Her hairstyle, which had been sprayed with two or three bottles of hairspray, was welded to her head like a helmet. If a bird flew over and hit her hair, it definitely wouldn't be her hair that was injured. That kind of dinner was not a place for people to have a good meal.

In contrast, at this royal dinner, she was just an ordinary little account, and she just had to be an NPC who only worked and followed Ye Hansheng invisibly. It should be much easier for her, at least her hair could breathe freely.

"Your Majesty, I will give you a reward of 100,000 taels of silver, 10 pieces of silk brocade, 10 boxes of jewels, 10 sets of jade headpieces, and 10 jade ornaments. I wish Princess Anhe will be perfect, happy and peaceful every year!"

"Long live the princess!" Everyone bowed and congratulated him.

"An He thanks His Majesty Father for his kindness, and I also wish His Majesty a long life and good health! May our Dongling last for thousands of years!"

"Hahaha, okay, get up!" Li Qi smiled and helped An He up.

Everyone took their seats. Li Qi was sitting on the main seat in the Qionghua Palace, while Concubine Rong and the princess sat on the two sides below. Below the main seat, on the left was the Crown Prince, and on the right were Prince Ning and his wife. Sitting next to the Crown Prince was Ye Hansheng.

Liu Qingyin tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "You... you're sitting so close to the front, how are you going to eat..."

"Ayin, just eat whatever you want. There's no need to be too restrained."

Mo Chen, who was behind the prince, coughed twice. Liu Qingyin turned her head and greeted him. She whispered to A Cheng, who was also behind him, "A Cheng, let's switch seats."

Ashun quickly waved his hand to refuse.

"Miss Liu, is there anything you need?" Li Qi's voice came from afar.

Liu Qingyin was startled and quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. This is my first time attending such a grand banquet, so I am inevitably nervous. Plus, Your Majesty is so powerful and majestic, ruling the world, I am a little scared."

"Hahaha, are you blaming me for scaring you?" Li Qi said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, with what you said, Ayin might not be able to sleep when she goes back home at night." Ye Hansheng said with a smile.

"Hahaha, no need to be nervous. It's An He's birthday family dinner, so everyone should feel free to be restrained."

"Look, look, the clothes that Miss Liu wears are similar to those of Mr. Ye. What's the relationship between them?"

"Maybe it's the uniform of the Shadow Pavilion, don't speculate."

"Ye Cheng didn't wear it, so they must be the only ones wearing it. Are they together?"

"Just because Ye Cheng didn't wear it doesn't mean he didn't have it. Young Master Ye definitely had nothing to do with that woman. Young Master Ye is such a person, how could he be so hungry that he would eat anything?"

"Hey, why are you so anxious? Could it be that if Mr. Ye doesn't like her, he will like you? Hahaha."

"Don't tease me." The woman in red said shyly.

Some high-ranking officials and noble ladies were talking about it, and even the prince couldn't help but ask: "Ah Sheng...is this the latest clothing of Yingge?" The prince looked at him, then at Liu Qingyin who was concentrating on eating next to him.

"This is Ye's private server." Ye said coldly.

"So that's it!" The prince seemed to have suddenly realized something, and nodded with a smile, saying, "It's very beautiful."

"Your Highness, you are too kind." Ye Hansheng turned his head slightly and met Mo Chen who was staring at him and Liu Qingyin. Mo Chen looked at their clothes sharply.

He turned his head with a victorious smile on his face.

"What are you laughing at?" Liu Qingyin held a chicken leg in one hand and a wine glass in the other.

Ye Hansheng gently wiped the rice grains from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, "Nothing, I'm just in a particularly good mood."

"Look, look, Master Ye even wiped her mouth and said that they were fine?!"

"She...her hands must be inconvenient." The woman in red looked straight in the eyes.

Li Qi, who was in a high position, saw all of this deeply and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He looked at Ye Hansheng and raised his glass to signal him. Ye Hansheng also raised his glass in response and drank it all in one gulp.

The sounds of stringed instruments and orchestras continued, and the singing and dancing of orioles and swallows were also beautiful.

Jingyi looked at Ye Hansheng and Liu Qingyin, the handkerchief in her hand almost tore into pieces. Ye Hansheng never looked at her from beginning to end. At this moment, after the dance was over, Jingyi walked up to the front of the hall and said loudly:

"I suggest playing a game to liven up the princess' birthday!"

Li Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? What does Jingyi suggest?"

After she entered the hall, the people below suddenly started to discuss in a low voice:

"Look, her clothes are exactly the same as Concubine Rong's."

"Yeah, yeah, I noticed that too."

"How dare she do that? I don't know if she did it on purpose. How can she not see Concubine Rong when she goes to the palace so often?"

I swear to God, she has never seen Concubine Rong wearing this dress!

Jingyi saw Concubine Rong looking at her with a frown, and suddenly realized that she was wearing the same clothes as Concubine Rong!

If she was sitting quietly in the corner, no one would notice her, but now that she was standing in the hall, the fact that she was wearing the same clothes was particularly obvious.

Now that things have come to this, let’s just go for it!

"Let's play a game of flying flowers. Whoever can't match the answer will drink a glass of wine and say something auspicious to congratulate the princess."

"Okay, that's good, let Jingyi arrange it." Li Qi said.

Jingyi selected several high-ranking officials and talented women who were on good terms with her, as well as young men from well-read families. Everyone was vying for the opportunity to show up in front of the emperor.

Liu Qingyin sighed and wiped her mouth.

"What's wrong with Ayin?" Ye asked coldly.

"It's so obvious, it's coming for me." Liu Qingyin raised her chin towards Jingyi in the hall.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a provocative voice: "Liu Qingyin, you can try it too. It doesn't matter if you can't match it~~"
