At first, Nannuo Yao just thought she got lost in her way, so she walked and walked in the vicinity. However, even after walking for a long period of time, she didn’t find a single person. She realized that something was wrong.

“Someone come, is somebody here? Are there people?”

“Where are you, people? Did you all die? Didn’t you know I’m the guest of your Wangye? How dare you all do this to me.”

“Get me out of here now, or I will you.”

Nannuo Yao yelled and yelled, but no matter how much she shouted, no one came to help her. The only answer she got was the empty echo of the vicinity, which sounds horrible.

Nannuo Yao was scared, she walked around in madness, trying to figure the way outside. On the other hand, the shadow guard responsible to watch over her in the roof, keep yawning in boredom… …

The sky became dark, the dinner banquet was about to begin. Lin Chujiu sent someone to call back Xiao Tianyao. When Xiao Tianyao heard of it, he got up to went outside.

“Wangye, what about the Southern Princess?” Liu Bai followed behind and asked.

“Huh?” Xiao Tianyao turned back inexplicably.

Liu Bai sighed with a trace of powerlessness, “Wangye, you shut the person in the backyard half an hour ago. Isn’t it about time to let her out?”

“Mmm, let her out.” Xiao Tianyao simply said, apparently he didn’t take Nannuo Yao seriously.

Liu Bai didn’t go, instead, he sent people to release Princess Nannuo Yao.

If they will not let her go, how will they play?

In the main hall, Lin Chujiu was entertaining Ji Fengyu, the Crown Prince, the Third Prince and the Seven Prince. Although the Crown Prince hated Lin Chujiu, he didn’t do anything to her on this occasion. He didn’t talk to her. Lin Chujiu also has no interest to talk to him.

Lin Chujiu and Ji Fengyu chat with each other, while Third Prince Xiao Zian happily inserting one to two sentences from time to time.

Lin Wanting took advantage of the atmosphere and innocently asked: “Sister, how come I don’t see Xiao Wangye and Princess Nannuo Yao? Didn’t they arrive long ago? Did Xiao Wangye take Princess Nannuo Yao to visit the yard? Why they didn’t bring us together?”

“Wanting, how come your memory is so bad? How many times do I have to tell you not to call me sister? Uninformed people might think you are a concubine in Xiao Wangfu.” Lin Chujiu only looked at Lin Wanting coldly, she didn’t answer her questions.

Lin Wanting’s face reddens in embarrassment, but she can’t say another word on this occasion. She could only swallow her resentment.

Lin Wanting asked out loud, while the others didn’t ask about it. However, just because they didn’t ask, doesn’t mean, they don’t think about Xiao Tianyao and Nannuo Yao’s whereabouts.

Nannuo Yao has long arrived, but haven’t appeared once again. Even Xiao Tianyao was not present. So to say that nothing is happening between the two, outsiders will not believe it.

The Crown Prince looked having fun to the misery of others, Xiao Zian looked worried, the Seventh Prince looked ignorant, while Ji Fengyu looked enjoying.

A group of people looking at each other, but in fact, their mind was wandering around.

A servant came in to report that the feast was now ready and everyone can come and seat. Without waiting for Lin Chujiu to answer, the crown prince said: “Imperial Aunt, we need to go, we cannot let Imperial Uncle and Princess Nannuo Yao waiting.”

The Crown Prince deliberately put Xiao Tianyao and Nannuo Yao together, he wanted to anger Lin Chujiu. But, Lin Chujiu didn’t show any care, she only stood up and made a gesture: “Please this way… …”

The Crown Prince took a step first, while Xiao Zian deliberately stayed behind, letting Ji Fengyu and the Seventh Prince go first. Xiao Zian deliberately walked slowly beside Lin Chujiu.

When the two walked together, the atmosphere became warm. The two looked dignified and charming. People couldn’t help but find them a perfect match. The four maidservants behind Lin Chujiu couldn’t help but think: Wangfei and the third prince are a good match!

Xiao Zian didn’t notice it, but when he smelled the fragrant scent in Lin Chujiu’s body, his heart had calmed down. However, his eyes flashed with a trace of loneliness, but he quickly suppressed it.

“Imperial Aunt, don’t take it to heart, Imperial Uncle is not that kind of person.” Xiao Zian said in a low voice, his voice sounds so gentle like a spring breeze, and it was heartwarming.

No one had ever talked to her in such a gentle way, so Lin Chujiu also slowed down and nodded her head: “Thank you, your highness. I am fine.”

“It’s good if Imperial Aunt understands it by heart.” Xiao Zian smiled. His smile looked neat and warm, just like a warm lotus flower. In a blink of an eye, Lin Chujiu was stunned… …

She has never seen a person smile so beautifully.

“Imperial Aunt, what happened to you?” Xiao Zian had a vague guess, but he pretended not to know.

“I was distracted for a moment, your highness… …” Lin Chujiu hasn’t finished her words, but was interrupted by Xiao Zian: “Imperial Aunt, don’t call me your highness, call me Zian.”

Lin Chujiu’s identity was much higher than Xiao Zian, so calling him by his name was normal. But… …

Although their identity was of different level, their age was similar. If Lin Chujiu will call him directly by his name, it will sound intimate. Lin Chujiu was thinking of a way to refuse when suddenly, Xiao Tianyao came in between them and pushed them separately.

“Wangye.” Lin Chujiu took a stepped back and gave way to Xiao Tianyao.

Xiao Zian was caught off guard and almost fell. Fortunately, Xiao Tianyao didn’t use too much force.

“Imperial Uncle… …” Xiao Zian calmly bowed his head, there was no trace of anger in his face.

“Mmm.” Xiao Tianyao nodded his head, indicating that he knew, then he no longer paid attention to him. He walked forward with Lin Chujiu without hesitation.

When the Crown Prince and others, who walked in the front heard voices behind them, they stopped from walking. The Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince called Xiao Tianyao uncle, while Ji Fengyu and Lin Wanting called him Xiao Wangye. Lin Wanting’s voice was so small and kept her head low. She didn’t dare to look at Xiao Tianyao.

Before she left home, Lin Xiang repeatedly remind her not to let people learned that she likes Xiao Tianyao. Especially, the crown prince. Otherwise, she will be married off to the Western Prince.

Lin Wanting got scared, so although she was happy to see Xiao Tianyao, she didn’t dare to make an unnecessary move.

After they paid respect, they surrounded Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu. The Crown Prince looked around and said innocently: “Imperial Uncle, why this prince don’t see Princess Nannuo Yao?”

“Hmm?” Xiao Tianyao frowned and asked as if he couldn’t understand the crown prince’s meaning.

The Crown Prince pretended to be stupid and said: “Imperial Uncle, isn’t Princess Nannuo Yao was with you?” In front of Xiao Tianyao, the crown prince didn’t dare to embarrass Lin Chujiu, but he also didn’t give her a face.

“Why would benwang be with her?” Xiao Tianyao looked at the Crown Prince with eyes looking an idiot. As if the Crown Prince asked the stupidest question.

The Crown Prince’s face redden and explained: “Imperial Uncle, didn’t you and Princess Nannuo Yao disappear this afternoon? Are you not together?”

“Crown Prince, what are you thinking?” The expression on Xiao Tianyao’s face became heavy, then he ruthless said: “Benwang will accompany personally the Southern Princess? Crown Prince, what have you learned all these years to ask such a stupid question?”

The contempt in Xiao Tianyao’s tone made the Crown Prince wants to drill a hole.

The Crown Prince busily said: “Imperial Uncle, you misunderstood, I’m just… …”

“Just what?” Xiao Tianyao impatiently interrupted the crown prince: “Crown Prince, you are not young anymore, you should spend less thinking about youthful desires. Think more about important business.”

“Imperial Uncle, you misunderstood, I’m not…” The Crown Prince wants to explain, but Xiao Tianyao has no intention of listening. He inhumanely added: “Crown Prince, if you are so worried about the Southern Princess, you go and look for her.”

Xiao Tianyao has shamelessly associated the Crown Prince to Princess Nannuo Yao. The Crown Prince wanted explain, but Xiao Tianyao took a step forward… …
