Did the Seventh Prince attend court today?

Since the other party asked the question sincerely, it's natural that there's a deer.

He peeked out from in front of Cang Shuyue, took a step to the side confidently, and introduced himself: "Xiao Yunlu".

It was only then that he saw clearly the person behind Cang Shuyue.

Wearing the same princely robe with dragon patterns, but in moon white, with gentle features and a pure temperament, the person before me was like a white lotus, rising from the mud unsullied, cleansed by the clear water without being seductive, making people feel close to her at first glance.

A name unexpectedly came to mind—Xiao Yunshu.

It seems this is his sixth brother, whom he has never met but has heard of before.

When Xiao Yunshu saw the face of the person who had suddenly appeared, he was also filled with amazement.

Her red clothes were as fiery as fire, but they couldn't compare to the boy's striking features. His amber eyes reflected a dazzling golden light in the sunlight, captivating all who beheld them.

He blushed slightly and stammered, "So it's Seventh Brother. No wonder, no wonder..."

No wonder everyone's been talking about it.

Thinking about the resentment he had harbored due to everyone's favoritism these past few days, his cheeks burned. If he had known earlier that his seventh brother was so...beautiful, he wouldn't have compared himself to him.

Such a person deserves to be loved by everyone.

You Lu tilted her head slightly. Why was the sixth prince blushing?

Cang Shuyue frowned slightly, stepped forward, pulled Youlu behind him, and asked in a cold voice, "Sixth Prince, is there anything else?"

Xiao Yunshu snapped out of her reverie, pursed her lips, and said with a hint of shyness, "I was worried that the Duke of Zhenguo had been traveling for months and that your old injury might have flared up, so I came to see you. I thought that if you were unwell, it would be good to have Elder Chen treat you as soon as possible."

His concern was evident in his words.

"No need," Cang Shuyue refused decisively.

Thinking he was worried about causing trouble, Xiao Yunshu quickly explained, "It's no trouble at all. Old Master Chen is Jian Dan's maternal grandfather, and Jian Dan and I are close friends. We can definitely ask Old Master Chen to come."

Upon hearing this, Youlu raised the corners of her lips slightly. "You and Jian Dan are friends?"

Seeing that he had spoken up, Xiao Yunshu's face lit up with joy, and he said in a gentle tone, "Yes, Seventh Brother should also know Jian Dan. He mentioned you after returning from Xiangyang."

A cold glint flashed in Cang Shuyue's eyes; Xiao Yunshu's gaze at the baby made him very uncomfortable.

Youlu patted the man's tense arm, stepped out from behind him, and said with a smile, "This must be the Sixth Prince. I've heard so much about you."

Xiao Yunshu blushed even more. "They're all just empty names. But Seventh Brother, everyone praises you highly, saying you're intelligent, lively, and adorable. Seeing you today, I can confirm that your reputation is well-deserved."

You Lu choked. No, he was just being polite. Why was the Sixth Prince actually praising him?

It made him feel embarrassed.

It felt like punching cotton.

Pixiu, having somehow acquired a chicken leg, hid behind Cang Shuyue and chewed on it, muttering: "Why is this Sixth Prince so unpredictable? And the way he looks at you...it feels like he's a sucker for good looks?"

Youlu: "..."

The hand hidden in the sleeve secretly made calculations.

He is blessed with good fortune and luck. He lost his mother at a young age, but had a happy childhood. He is destined to be without a wife, but enjoys the happiness of having two wives.

Looking at his face, he has a full forehead and clear eyes, indicating that he is a very kind person.

hiss--

You Lu was puzzled. His sixth brother's fate seemed smooth, yet it was full of contradictions, which he couldn't understand.

Because he was so curious, even though he knew his abilities were sealed, he couldn't help but try to see Xiao Yunshu's future and past, but unfortunately he only saw a blank white space.

[Ever since I was harmed by the backlash from the restrictions on Meng Tianhong, my abilities have been sealed. Once I find Fuzhu, I must have a serious talk with him and ask him to unseal my powers, otherwise it will be too inconvenient.]

He thought in frustration.

Pixiu scratched his head, "But boss, he's our enemy. Will he help you?"

"How will you know if you don't try?" Deer is very optimistic.

Where are we supposed to find him?

Good question, so I'll wait for him to come to me.

brave troops:【……】

You Lu didn't say it, but he already had someone he suspected, but he couldn't be sure yet.

Refocusing his attention on Xiao Yunshu, he said with a grin, "Sixth Brother, you flatter me. It's just that I've only recently returned to the palace, so everyone finds it novel. After a while, I'll probably get a headache just looking at me."

Judging from the current situation, his sixth brother is indeed simple and harmless, and he doesn't mind getting along peacefully with him.

Xiao Yunshu was amused and covered his mouth, saying, "Seventh Brother is indeed different from the people in the palace; he is very straightforward."

"Of course, of course," Youlu said without any modesty.

The two showered each other with compliments, and surprisingly, they got along very well.

It wasn't until someone from Fengyi Palace came to say that the Empress had invited them that the two bowed and said goodbye.

On the way to Fengyi Palace, Cang Shuyue, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up: "You and the Sixth Prince seem to be having a very pleasant conversation."

He hadn't spoken earlier, partly because he didn't want to talk to Xiao Yunshu, and partly because he didn't want to appear too domineering. He actually didn't want Bao Bao to talk to Xiao Yunshu.

Youlu curled the corners of her lips into a smile and asked, "What's wrong? Jealous again?"

Cang Shuyue shook his head, carefully considering his words, and after a long while said, "He's a bit strange. You should be careful when you associate with him."

Youlu was quite surprised that he would have such a thought.

My boyfriend's intuition is too sharp.

She subtly hooked his pinky finger and asked with a smile, "Then tell me, what's strange about him?"

Cang Shuyue smiled and took his hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "Every time I get close to him, I feel a strange sense of intimacy, which makes me want to get closer to him involuntarily."

Lu raised an eyebrow slightly. "Perhaps it's because he has a kind face that makes you feel a connection, which is why you want to get closer to him."

"Impossible." Cang Shuyue said firmly, "I don't like his looks, there's no way I could find him attractive."

To put it bluntly, "first impressions" are a matter of personal preference. If someone doesn't look like your type at first glance, how can you expect to have any "first impressions" with them?

"That is indeed a bit strange," Youlu said thoughtfully.

[Could the Sixth Prince have practiced some kind of evil magic?] Pixiu trembled. [Or perhaps he's actually a transmigrator with some kind of charm system?]

"It's hard to say, let's wait and see," Youlu sighed.

His fingertips were gently pinched, and he subconsciously looked up, only to meet a pair of dark eyes filled with worry.

Cang Shuyue said softly, "If it's troublesome, we can leave it alone. He hasn't done anything to harm others yet."

Knowing that he was worried about him, Youlu smiled and nodded.

The two stood close together, using their wide sleeves to conceal their actions, and openly held hands. No one noticed as they walked, and they entered the Phoenix Palace just like that.

The Empress was still busy preparing for the evening's palace banquet, and she had specially taken the time to summon the two of them. However, she saw the older one leading the younger one, and they just casually walked up to her. This sight made her temples throb.

Repeatedly reminding herself that this was her own brother, the Empress suppressed the urge to stab the brat to death with her spear. After dismissing her attendants, she sternly rebuked him, "What kind of behavior is this? Let him go at once!"

Cang Shuyue, like a scolded child, obediently let go.
