The Subversion of Wearing Books

The queen has been a queen for many years, and her gaffe was only a moment. Before everyone noticed, she restrained all her emotions, and she was still the dignified, graceful and noble empress.

When the eldest prince greeted her, she called his name affectionately, but she couldn't help looking at the scholar behind him from the corner of her eye.

Xu Shen followed the eldest prince to pay respects to the queen. He lowered his head, so naturally he couldn't feel the queen's gaze, but the first prince found that the queen was looking at Xu Shen all the time, which made him a little more puzzled and stood up. After getting up, he moved his body without a trace to block Xu Shen a little.

The queen noticed his actions, and gave him a meaningful look: "The emperor, take your seat."

After the first prince thanked the queen, he brought Xu Shen to the prince, and after bowing to him, he sat down under the prince. Xu Shen could only stand behind the prince because he came in as an attendant.

After he sat down, the prince smiled and bowed to him: "Long time no see, brother."

The prince is logically said to be the son of the eldest son and he is the prince, so he could not salute to the eldest prince, but he has always been respectful to brothers and sisters, and although he can't make big salutes due to his status, he still does a good job in private etiquette between brothers.

Regarding the prince, the eldest prince's mood was extremely complicated. He lowered his eyes, suppressed the emotions in his eyes, and said with a smile: "The prince's complexion has improved a lot today."

The prince touched his face, his eyes inadvertently looked behind the eldest prince, his lips curled up, and he said lightly: "Really."

After all, the prince did not speak.

The eldest prince looked at the prince with his head lowered, resting his forehead with one hand, as if he was resting his mind, so he withdrew his surprised gaze for a moment, picked up a cup of tea, and he took a sip, but his mind was full of the prince's seemingly inadvertent words just now. glance.

He understands the emotion in it too well, most of the time he sees it in Xu Shen's eyes, it's admiration, who does the prince admire?Who is behind him?Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but sink.

After putting down the tea, he covered his hands with his robe until his knuckles turned white, but his face still didn't show. The empress was sitting in a high position. Seeing this situation, he felt a little more thoughtful.

At noon, the absent princes all arrived.

This palace banquet has been held many times in the palace, and the princes are exhausted. If the queen is not hosting this time, I believe they will find multiple reasons to skip it.

When they got to the place and saw the First Prince and the Crown Prince sitting on it, the expressions of the remaining princes changed one after another.

Neither the crown prince nor the eldest prince likes to join in the fun, how could they come so early, could it be...

In an instant, everyone's thoughts were changing, and they all took their seats after inviting the Queen and Prince An to apologize for being late.

After the queen saw that everyone had arrived, she began to call several girls to ask questions in front of her. It's a pity that the imperial garden is full of flowers, but several masters are not at ease about it.

Now in troubled times, the princes are busy seizing the heir, busy helping to seize the heir, and busy taking care of themselves. Anyone who makes a little movement can quickly mess up the situation. In the eyes of the other princes, the prince and the first prince just now Sitting together, the atmosphere was very subtle, faintly showing a bigger disturbance.

The prince who wanted to win the heirloom wondered if he could have a foot in this turmoil, but the one who had no intention to win the heirloom was worried that the crown prince and the eldest prince would force them to stand in line.

Everyone was thinking a lot, and no one could pay attention to today's blind date banquet. The queen saw everything in the center of her eyes and sighed. Her mind might be more confused than everyone else's.

Just after the blind date banquet became a pool of stagnant water, the prince stood up suddenly, with annoyance on his face, he bid farewell to the queen: "My son is not feeling well, so I will take my leave first."

The queen glanced at Xu Shen without any trace, and nodded in agreement: "Your Majesty, go and pay more attention to your body."

After the prince flung his sleeves and left, the atmosphere became more condensed, and naturally it ended hastily.

The Eldest Prince left the palace, dragged Xu Shen into the carriage, his face and heart were gloomy, he couldn't wait to return to the palace.

After the eldest prince's carriage left in a hurry, the prince standing on a high place looked away.

He thought of the person at the banquet who gave him a heartless glance and never looked at him, and thought of the way the First Prince was protecting Xu Shen just now, his eyes were red and murderous.

In the carriage, Feng Heng was still holding Xu Shen's hand, his face was full of gloom, and Xu Shen felt distressed.

He also held Feng Heng's hand tightly, thinking of what he had noticed before, he quietly leaned into Feng Heng's ear and said: "Heng, Brother Heng, I found the prince today..."

Feng Heng frowned when he heard the word prince, and couldn't help pinching Xu Shen's hand even tighter. There was pain in his hand, which made Xu Shen stop talking: "Brother Heng, it hurts."

At this time, Feng Heng came back to his senses, quickly loosened his grip, held Xu Shen's hands, and saw the red marks, he lowered his eyes, and said annoyedly: "I'm sorry, my brother, I..."

The First Prince was really upset, he shouldn't have brought Xu Shen to this palace banquet, if he made a mistake and lost Xu Shen, he would regret it for the rest of his life...

Xu Shen didn't know what the eldest prince was thinking about, he only knew that he didn't like the gloomy look on his Brother Heng's face, he subconsciously felt that what he noticed today could divert Feng Heng's mood, so he still whispered: "The prince has been secretly looking at Lian Ze during the palace banquet today."

"What?" Feng Heng called out, but his mind kept recalling the scene at that time, Xu Shen was behind him, Lian Ze was behind Xu Shen, the prince's gaze seemed to be a little further back...

The eldest prince's expression gradually returned to normal. He focused on Xu Shen. He naturally felt that the prince was looking at Xu Shen. Now that he was instructed, he naturally found out that the prince was looking at Lian Ze and it had nothing to do with Xu Shen. He regained his composure.

Holding Xu Shen's hand, he kept summing up today's events in his heart.

Xu Shen didn't speak, he happily watched the depression on the eldest prince's face disappear, and he returned to his usual brother Heng.

What happened today was really an unexpected surprise. Of course, what the eldest prince could think of, he had already thought of it. After Feng Heng's expression calmed down, he whispered, "Call Lian Ze to come in and ask?"

Feng Heng shook his head: "The walls have ears, let's talk about it when we get back to the palace."

Xu Shen nodded, and the two stopped talking.

At the foot of the emperor, in the imperial city.

The eldest prince's carriage naturally headed slowly towards the palace, and in addition to the fact that during the day, ordinary people were wandering in the streets, the eldest prince's worry was not unreasonable.

There were no words coming from the carriage, so Lian Ze withdrew his attention.

As the personal guard of Xu Shen and the First Prince, he was sitting with the groom, and like the people inside, he was also thinking about today's palace banquet, and he couldn't help but laugh.

As soon as he stepped into the imperial garden, he noticed the hot gaze of the prince, but this incident was accidentally mistaken for Xu Shen. Lian Ze could only lament that his restraint was getting better and better.

Lian Ze had a smile in his heart, but when he thought of the prince, he frowned unobtrusively, feeling... something was wrong...
