Chapter 153: Entering the Palace

Hearing this, Le Yao Yao couldn't help but raise her head. Her nose turned numb and a drop of tear finally fell from her eyes.

This drop of tear was actually real.

Because, Dongfang Bai was too kind!

He truly treated her so well. Yet, she had lied to him.

So now, Le Yao Yao felt very guilty.

One drop became two, two became three.

Le Yao Yao began to sob. But she had no idea that her tears were causing the three men's heart to break.

Suddenly, a large hand slowly wiped away her tears. Then, he gently comforted, "Don't cry. From now on, I'm here."

His voice was gentle like the March sunlight. It was Dongfang Bai.

Dongfang Bai's smile was like the creek water that had entered her inner heart. It was so warm.

Only the closest people to her could give her that feeling!

Was this the feeling of family?!

Le Yao Yao wasn't sure. But from now on, she will treat Dongfang Bai as an older brother.

Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao broke into a smile. Her smile was comparable to a magnificent flower. Nothing more beautiful could be imagined.

Dongfang Bai couldn't control his heart. He couldn't help but feel attracted to him. His heartstrings were tugging.

Dongfang Bai's eyes were turning very lustful and tender, but since Le Yao Yao lacked love experience, she naturally couldn't feel it.

So, once again, the two of them were gazing intently at each other.

This sight was very blinding to the other two men.

Nangong Jun Xi's face instantly darkened and he stopped eating the osmanthus cake.

Because, for some reason, the osmanthus cake tasted sour now. He couldn't swallow it down anymore.

As for Leng Jun Yu, he hadn't said a word. He acted like he was calm while enjoying his tea. But if one paid closer attention, they would see that his hands were clenched underneath the sleeves of his robe.

Le Yao Yao and Dongfang Bai continued to smile at each other for a very long period of time. This continued until suddenly, the horse carriage went over a rock and caused the whole thing to sway.

Since Le Yao Yao didn't anticipate the horse carriage to lose balance, she was unprepared and immediately began to fall forward.

Right away, Nangong Jun Xi's sour face brightened.

He could see that Le Yao Yao was about to fall into his arms. Subconsciously, Nangong Jun Xi got ready and had his arms opened wide. He was completely looking forward to embracing Le Yao Yao.

But at the very last moment, someone else was faster than him.

The man beside him reached over and accurately caught Le Yao Yao.

As for his hand, it also accurately landed on Le Yao Yao's chest.

"Eh..?"

At once, two people made intense eye contact.

Lovely pupils vs. icy pupils.

Please read on theeunuch. com (I have to space it out because the sites keep removing my links) I am tired of losing hundreds and thousands of views from the sites you are reading from.

Le Yao Yao howled on the inside. Mother f**ker! He's grabbing my chest again!

Deep down, Leng Jun Yu was thinking. What a flat chest. Too thin. He needs more nourishment!

So now, the two of them were staring at each other while these thoughts ran through their minds.

This carried on until the voice of a pageboy could be heard outside. It was then that Leng Jun Yu finally released Le Yao Yao.

"To report to the Prince, we have arrived at the Imperial Palace."

"Mm."

Nangong Jun Xi was the first one to lift the door curtain to hop off the carriage. Next was Leng Jun Yu. Then, Dongfang Bai; and finally, Le Yao Yao.

Just as Le Yao Yao was about to imitate them and leap off, suddenly, a slender, large hand was in front of her face.

"Brother Yao, I'll hold onto you."

"Eh? N-n." Initially, Le Yao Yao was going to refuse. But when she saw the kind and elegant smile on Dongfang Bai's face, she couldn't say no. Instead, she said, "O-okay."

So, she placed her hand on Dongfang Bai's palm as she used it to support herself off the carriage.

The moment Le Yao Yao exited the horse carriage, she was faced with the majestic view of the palace. She was shaken.

Wow! This was the Palace of the Heaven Yuan dynasty! Such a powerful aura!

She looked up in awe as she stared at the bright red walls surrounding the entire palace. The palace entrance was ten metres away. It was so grand!

This was the first time Le Yao Yao came to the palace. She didn't even blink. After all, she didn't want to miss a thing! If she could ever return to the 21st century, she must brag about it!

While Le Yao Yao was deep in thought, a middle aged chubby eunuch appeared to welcome them. He cheerfully greeted Leng Jun Yu and led them inside the palace.

Along the way, Le Yao Yao didn't forget to observe everything.

Soon, they had arrived at Dragon Heaven Palace Hall.

The Dragon Heaven Palace Hall was an enormous building that was richly ornamented. It was made with white marble and had gigantic stone steps.

On the outside were Imperial guards. There were one guard every five steps. They all had their armours and pikes in their hands.

When they entered the Hall, Le Yao Yao could see that the whole place was filled with nobles. There were no empty seats and noise could be heard everywhere.

Since the Emperor and the Dowager Empress have not arrived yet, people were not too restrictive.

There were a lot of social interactions. Many young ladies were in groups of three or four as they giggled and gossiped.

When Leng Jun Yu appeared, everyone approached to acknowledge and greet him. But all Leng Jun Yu did was coolly nod. His face was icy cold.

However, it seemed like everyone was used to Prince Rui being like this. After a few casual lines, they backed off when they saw how disinterested Leng Jun Yu was.

As for Nangong Jun Xi, he was the 7th Prince of the Ancient Kingdom of Khotan. Originally, he didn't want to come.

After all, he was in the Heaven Yuan dynasty because he was trying to escape from an arranged marriage. He didn't want to be discovered by his people.

But ultimately, he decided to come because he was too curious. He wanted to know why the little eunuch was so confident. Could he really produce something that would make the Dowager Empress happy?

Thinking of this, Nangong Jun Xi turned over and secretly observed the little eunuch. This must be his first time here. Amazement and curiosity could been seen all over Le Yao Yao's face. It was so cute.

Nangong Jun Xi couldn't help but curved into a smile. His peach blossom eyes softened.

Le Yao Yao didn't know Nangong Jun Xi was secretly watching her. She was too busy looking at her surroundings.

After Leng Jun Yu and the rest had sat down, she knew her place and stood beside Leng Jun Yu in a serving position.

Le Yao Yao could hear people talk about the King of Hell. There were both good and bad comments.

The good were that his merits were impressive; his martial arts, matchless. He had a strong noble aura that made others admire him endlessly.

The bad were that he was cruel and ruthless. He had an unstable personality and despised women.

But even so, the moment the King of Hell entered the Hall, a bunch of young royal ladies continuously threw flirtatious glances at him.

However, Leng Jun Yu wasn't the only target. The ladies also drooled over Nangong Jun Xi and Dongfang Bai.
