The voice that resembled the sunlight of March was warm and gentle, coming from Dongfang Bai.
Combined with the delicate and radiant smile on his face, it felt like a gentle stream flowing into her heart, making her feel so comfortable and warm.
That feeling was something only the closest family could give her!
Was that the feeling of family!?
Le Yao Yao didn’t know, but she understood that this man before her truly cared for her!
From now on, she would definitely regard him as her Big Brother; he was her brother, Le Yao Yao’s brother!
Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao couldn’t help but break into a tearful smile. Her charming smile was as brilliant as a flower, breathtakingly beautiful!
Dongfang Bai was deeply astonished by Le Yao Yao's flower-like smile.
His long, deep black eyes gazed at Le Yao Yao, sparkling with a wonder he himself didn’t even realize, captivated…
His uncontrollable heart was irresistibly drawn to her, strings of emotion being plucked…
As for Dongfang Bai's affectionate eyes, Le Yao Yao, who had no experience in love, naturally wouldn’t notice.
All she knew was that Dongfang Bai was really kind and gentle, a very good Big Brother.
However, what she didn’t know was that this scene—one with a flower-like smile and the other with affectionate eyes—was painfully glaring to the two people across from them.
In an instant, Nangong Junxi’s handsome face darkened; he could no longer enjoy the Osmanthus Cake.
For some reason, the Osmanthus Cake that entered his mouth suddenly turned sour, making it impossible for him to swallow.
Beside him, Leng Junyu remained silent throughout, merely appearing to savor his tea quietly. However, if one paid close attention, they would notice his large hand hidden beneath his sleeve, slowly forming a fist, his nails digging into his palm, seemingly unaware of the pain.
Le Yao Yao and Dongfang Bai exchanged smiles, their gazes locked for an unknown length of time until the once steady carriage suddenly jolted as if it had collided with something.
Caught off guard by the unexpected movement, Le Yao Yao lurched forward violently.
Nangong Junxi, who was in front of her, froze momentarily at the sight of her impending fall, but then his heart leaped with joy.
As he watched Le Yao Yao about to tumble into his arms, Nangong Junxi instinctively opened his arms wide, ready to catch her completely.
However, at the last moment, someone moved even faster than him.
A figure beside them, Ape Arm, swiftly caught Le Yao Yao's small body with precision.
His hand once again landed directly on Le Yao Yao's chest.
"Uh..."
In an instant, their eyes met.
Beautiful Eyes stared into Cold Eyes.
One was taken aback while the other remained unfazed.
Moments later, one blushed in shock while the other maintained a stoic expression.
One was filled with tears inside, while the other was restless in heart and mind.
Le Yao Yao silently screamed, "Damn it, not again!"
Leng Junyu thought to himself, "Such a flat chest, such a slender figure. She needs some nourishment!"
Thus, Le Yao Yao and Leng Junyu locked eyes, each with their own thoughts. The other two watched them with slightly surprised expressions, their eyes filled with unspoken meanings.
It wasn't until the respectful voice of the carriage driver came from outside that Leng Junyu slowly released his hand from Le Yao Yao's chest.
"Reporting to the prince, we have arrived at the palace."
"Mm."
Upon hearing this, Leng Junyu responded lightly.
Then Nangong Junxi was the first to lift the curtain and jump down from the carriage, followed by Leng Junyu, then Dongfang Bai, and finally Le Yao Yao.
As Le Yao Yao lifted the curtain and prepared to leap down like Dongfang Bai and the others, suddenly, a long hand blocked her way.
"Yao Brother, let me help you!"
"Uh, no..."
Hearing Dongfang Bai's words, Le Yao Yao initially wanted to shake her head in refusal. However, when she met Dongfang Bai's elegant smile, she couldn't bring herself to say no. Instead, she smiled back and said,
"Alright."
As she spoke, her hand gently rested in Dongfang Bai's palm, then she used his strength to lower herself.
After exchanging a smile, Le Yao Yao turned her face away, surveying the sights before her.
When she caught sight of the grand palace, she was deeply impressed.
This must be the palace of the Celestial Yuan Dynasty! How magnificent!
She gazed around at the towering Red Brick High Wall that enclosed the entire palace. The grand entrance, standing over ten meters tall, exuded an air of majesty and solemnity.
It was Le Yao Yao's first visit to the palace, and her Beautiful Eyes did not blink even once. After all, this was her first time here! She couldn't afford to miss anything. If she ever returned to the twenty-first century, she'd have stories to tell about this experience!
While Le Yao Yao was lost in thought, a middle-aged eunuch with a plump figure approached them with a cheerful smile upon seeing Leng Junyu and the others. He greeted them warmly and then led Le Yao Yao and her companions into the palace.
Along the way, Le Yao Yao continued to take in the surroundings.
Indeed, it was a palace; every scene and object was built with such grandeur and splendor!
The golden palaces were adorned with intricate carvings and paintings, with towers rising in an orderly fashion.
The rooftops were covered in yellow Glazed Tiles trimmed with green edges.
At that moment, it was morning, and the sun hung high in the sky, casting its enchanting rays that made the yellow Glazed Tiles shimmer brilliantly—truly dazzling!
Amidst the layers of palaces, Palace Maids moved gracefully through the halls, each step reflecting an air of imperial authority.
Finally, under the eunuch's guidance, Le Yao Yao and her group arrived at the Dragon Hall!
The Dragon Hall, vast in size, was adorned with intricately carved beams and painted rafters, its high and grand eaves complemented by white marble steps.
Outside, the Imperial Guards stood vigilant, stationed every five paces and every ten paces, their iron armor gleaming and spears at the ready.
Upon entering the Dragon Hall, Le Yao Yao surveyed the opulent surroundings. The hall was already teeming with people, every seat occupied, and the air buzzed with lively chatter.
With both the Emperor and the Empress Dowager absent, everyone felt less constrained. Conversations flowed freely as guests mingled and exchanged pleasantries.
Groups of young ladies giggled together, their laughter ringing through the hall.
When Leng Junyu made his entrance, many rushed forward to pay their respects and greet him. However, Leng Junyu merely nodded lightly, his expression indifferent.
Yet everyone seemed accustomed to Prince Rui's demeanor. After exchanging a few words, they noticed his cold attitude and gradually withdrew.
Next, Nangong Junxi appeared. He was the Seventh Prince of the Great Xia Kingdom.
Initially, he had no intention of attending today’s celebration for the Empress Dowager’s birthday. After all, he had come here to escape an unwanted marriage and wished to remain unnoticed. Yet curiosity had drawn him in.
He was genuinely intrigued by this little eunuch's confidence—wondering if he truly possessed some remarkable talent that could amuse the Empress Dowager.
With that thought in mind, Nangong Junxi turned his gaze to sneak a look at the little eunuch behind him, who was curiously observing everything around.
It seemed to be his first visit to the palace; his delicate face radiated wonder and charm, making him quite endearing.
Seeing this, Nangong Junxi couldn't help but smile slightly, his peach blossom eyes softening with intrigue.
Le Yao Yao was unaware that Nangong Junxi was secretly observing her, as she kept glancing around.
Finally, after Leng Junyu and the others sat down, she quietly served them from behind.
At that moment, it was nearly noon in the Dragon Hall, bustling with people and filled with lively chatter.
Moreover, Le Yao Yao noticed that although the reputation of the Living Yama was well-known, it had both good and bad aspects.
The good was his remarkable achievements and unparalleled martial arts, earning him great respect.
The bad, however, was his cruelty and unpredictability, making his temperament difficult to grasp, along with his disdain for women.
Yet despite this, as soon as the Living Yama entered the grand hall, the elegantly dressed young ladies began to throw flirtatious glances in his direction.
Not only did the Living Yama attract the attention of these ladies; even Nangong Junxi and Dongfang Bai beside him were equally coveted by them.
It was no surprise, as these three men—Living Yama, Nangong Junxi, and Dongfang Bai—were rare in both appearance and demeanor.
Take the Living Yama for instance; he wore a noble purple Dragon Robe that not just anyone could pull off.
If someone else wore it, they would only end up looking like a prince who didn’t quite fit the role.
However, on the Living Yama, it exuded an air of nobility and grace.
His commanding presence and the cold aura he radiated made people willingly bow at his feet.
Though his features were stern, his enchanting beauty resembled a poppy blooming at night—captivating and dangerously alluring!
Compared to the cold demeanor of the Living Yama, sitting beside him was Nangong Junxi, dressed in a sunny and handsome manner.
The seven-foot tall man stood out from the crowd with his striking features and exceptional looks. His rebellious spirit shone through his brows, giving him an air of carefree defiance.
He resembled a wild stallion, untamed and free!
On the other hand, Dongfang Bai exuded a gentle grace, with an elegant demeanor and an otherworldly charm that made him look like a celestial being. Even though no one knew his true identity, his aura clearly indicated that he was no ordinary person.
Thus, when the Living Yama and his companions entered the Dragon Hall, all female gazes turned towards them, excitement evident as they whispered among themselves.
Although Le Yao Yao had poor hearing, the chatter around her was far from discreet, and she caught every word of their enthusiastic discussions.
"Oh my! Is that Prince Rui? He’s so handsome!"
"Yes! But it seems Prince Rui has a cruel nature and is known for his bloodthirsty ways. Yet, such a beautiful man with that cold demeanor... it’s so captivating!"
"Exactly..."
"But the two young men beside Prince Rui are also incredibly handsome! Why haven’t I seen them before?"
