Chapter 21 - Dragon and Phoenix

It's been an hour, but the attention of the people is still on the princess who came earlier.

When I asked Min Er who she is, she said that she's the left prime minister's only daughter, and she became a princess because it was bestowed upon her by the late emperor himself, because of her intelligence and creativity. She's the defending champion of the painting and poetry competition that is held every year.

When she entered earlier, she first bowed, and she directly looked at the Jin wangye and gave very gentle and noble greetings, which made everyone adore her more, not excluding me, because I'm very drawn to this kind of person.

The way she looks at the Wangye is very sincere, and there's a hidden glow in her eyes. When the wangye looks at her, she turns red and looks away.

Oh! Maybe he's happy because this beautiful person is here.

That's what I have been doing at this banquet, looking out for that beautiful princess and eating these delicious grapes that they have prepared. For some reason, I'm the only one who has grapes, but I didn't make a fuss out of it.

There are so many people who performed for the Wangye, but what I like the most is what the princess wrote. It's a story of a phoenix that fell in love with the dragon but their race is different and the dragons have a big rivalry for the phoenix and because of that he didn't notice the feelings of the Phoenix, when he finally had the chance to obtain the godhood his life became at stake and in the end, the Phoenix gave him a second time by sacrificing her immortality for him and even result in her death. The story is a very beautiful but sad story of loyalty and love.

Though I don't know the feeling of love, I have felt it through her poem. Even though the poem was beautiful and easy to understand, the face of the Wangye looked uncertain, and the princess waited for a while to receive a response from him, but the first thing he looked at was not the princess but me.

Why me? Or is it the person behind me? I tried to look at the back to know that only Min er is there, and she's not paying mind to the Wangye but to me.

She looks at me questionably, and I have come to a conclusion.

Maybe it's Min er that made him so happy, no wonder he's waiting at the entrance even though he's the master of the manor.

I tried to look at the Wangye once again, but he's still looking on our way, and I was shocked to know that even the princess is looking on our way.

He just gave his thanks to the princess, and he immediately ended the banquet after that. He looks very dejected, and I don't know why, but I know that he's thinking of something unpleasant.

When we're on our way to the carriage, Min er suddenly spouts something.

"Milady, I can't seem to find my charm. May I go back to retrieve it?" I just smile and nod at her.

I was about to enter the carriage when someone suddenly held me in my hand.

When I look at the person who held it, I immediately stiffen, and I have tried to look at Min er's, but she's still not in here.

"Yanyu, please choose me this time." When he said that, he suddenly held my hand tightly and lifted some of my hair, and he directly kissed it.

I was too shocked to say anything, so I stayed that way, but I was suddenly hit by something, and my head suddenly hurt like hell.
