Chapter 1221 Golden Cage (54)

The prince and Wen Renzhen's eyes met. The former smiled calmly, while the latter's expression remained as usual.

But the moment he lowered himself, the look in his eyes changed.

At the end of the dinner, the moment the emperor turned to leave, the ministers and disciples in the palace exchanged a few polite words and walked out one by one.

Chen Mubai sat for a few hours and ate some fruits. Now he was a little tired and called Qingyan to go back to Orchid Hall.

But not long after she left the palace, she was stopped by someone.

A man in blue clothes walked over slowly and saluted, "Ninth Princess."

Shen Mubai thought he looked familiar, but couldn't remember it, so he had to cough and ask, "Who are you?"

Liu Yanzhi was stunned for a moment, and his heart became slightly bitter, but his tone was still gentle and he said, "Back to the Ninth Princess, I am Liu Yanzhi. When I was a child, I was a classmate with the princess in the book pavilion."

Shen Mubai got the impression and nodded, "It's you, what's the matter with calling me princess?"

Liu Yanzhi tilted his face slightly, glanced around, and lowered his tone and said, "Princess, would you like to lend me a moment to speak?"

Shen Mubai nodded.

The two of them walked to the side path, and several palace maids saluted.

"That's all I can say." She couldn't help but yawned, her eyes filled with tears.

Liu Yanzhi looked at the princess in front of him. The girl back then had turned into a young girl. Ever since she came out of the bookstore, she had only seen her from a distance at banquets, which was not real.

This snow-white little face has appeared so touching, slightly pale, and under the almost transparent neck, the light blue veins are exposed, like a fragile porcelain doll.

But the Ninth Princess has always been very energetic. When she smiles, the dimples on her cheeks are enough to eclipse the surrounding scenery.

Liu Yanzhi's cheeks were slightly red, and he couldn't help but take a small step back, "I just want to say hello to the princess."

As soon as these words came out, both of them were stunned.

The handsome young master was upset in his heart. He clearly meant that was not what he wanted to say, but he dropped the ball at the critical moment. He was really stupid.

So he quickly added, "How is the princess' health these days?"

Shen Mubai felt a little baffled, but he still replied truthfully, "It's okay. With the nourishing medicine from a famous doctor, my body is much better than usual. Thank you for your concern."

"Here is a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. I will give it to the princess someday." Liu Yanzhi raised his eyes, and after touching the girl's gaze, his earlobes turned red.

Shen Mubai finally understood that this guy was probably interested in her.

She vaguely remembered that this person looked at her like this when she was a child, and felt a little funny in her heart, "Young Master Liu? What's your rank in the family?"

Liu Yanzhi was a little flattered, "I have an elder brother in my family, the second in line."

"Second Young Master of the Liu family, are you interested in this princess?" Shen Mubai said bluntly.

There was a bang in his head, and Liu Yanzhi's face turned crimson, and he pursed his lips, unable to utter a word for a while.

Shen Mubai looked at him and was about to say something when the man opposite him raised his head and said as if he mustered up the courage, "I will also take part in the imperial examination next year."

Qingyan looked at the princess and then at the second young master of the Liu family. She knew in her heart that she was not qualified to interrupt, so she silently closed her mouth.

"You..." Before Shen Mubai could finish the rest of his words, a figure appeared in the night.

Several people looked at them, and the man also looked at them and said calmly, "Sorry for disturbing you."

Liu Yanzhi, "..."
