This is the second day of the Union, and the Crown Prince He Li Yun wants to visit some of the famous places in the Liu Empire. He heard that there are so many places where he can relax. He wanted his stay here as tranquil as it could be since in the Su Empire, he didn't have the chance to rest. They said that the Liu Empire is known because of some places where one can enjoy and relax at the same time.
"Your highness, your robes are here. Would you like some help?" The Vassal asked, but he already knew what the crown prince would respond.
"There's no need. Thank you for bringing it." The Crown Prince then undressed and changed into the new clothes that had just arrived.
"By the way, Xu Yi, did you hear some news about our empire?" The Vassal named Xu Yi then went near the Crown Prince and whispered something.
"Your highness' younger brother is acting quite suspiciously, so I sent someone to look out for him." He Li Yun frowned at the thought of his younger brother.
He Ji Yan, the second prince who behaves like trash, but is he concealing something to start a rebellion? The prince was in a deep contemplation. He doesn't want his family to face tragedies like how their father usurped the throne from their grandfather. As much as possible, he wants them to continue living until they grow old since the scene where his father killed their grandfather Emperor, is still vivid to a young He Li Yun. The look of disappointment in his eyes and the look that he anticipated something like that to happen.
"Your highness?" Xu Yi asked the crown prince what he needed to do.
"For the time being, let's just observe him, just as you did. If any unnecessary event of news event comes, tell me immediately." The vassal then nodded.
After their talk, He Li Yun went outside but was surprised to see women hiding from some of the bushes near the residence that was given to him.
"Wh… what is happening?" He asked and then looked back at his vassal, Xu Yi.
"They are the young ladies who went to last night's banquet and saw your highness' countenance." The young crown prince was confused by what his vassal said. He just continued on his way and went near the young ladies hiding in the bushes. When he was near the bushes, he stretched out his hand.
"Young ladies, it is not appropriate for young girls to hide behind a bush. Would you like to accompany this prince to the palace?" He said with a warm smile on his face.
The vassal, Xu Yi, looked at his master with disappointment. He is known as a gentleman prince, and his appearance complements that face, so when a man like that asks a young maiden.
One of the girls' hands was already reaching for his hand when that same maiden was pushed, and then another one pushed the other one again and again, just like a cycle.
"Would you stop, can't you see that the prince is reaching out for me!" One of the angered maidens asked the other women angrily.
"No! His Highness looked at me first when he said that," And just like that, a quarrel has started between the young maidens.
"Ahem!" They all stopped and looked at the person who just made a sound, and then they saw a man behind the prince looking at them in disgust, and then they realized what they had just done. They are all terrified, thinking that the prince might also look at them just like how the man is, and they all apologize with their heads bowed.
"It's alright, but please don't do that again, since fighting with yourselves like that doesn't create a good solution. The crown prince's voice was mellow and gentle, and when they looked at him, they were all heart-stricken.ken. The prince is looking at them with eyes full of worry.
Someone was just about to say something when a melodious voice was heard.
"My, what are these young ladies of noble families doing in a foreign prince's courtyard?" They all looked at the owner of the voice, and the young ladies were shocked, and the fear was evident in their eyes.
"Your highness," They all bowed and gave her respect.
The owner of the voice is the most favored daughter of the Emperor of Liu, Princess Zhen Ren.
Her beauty was said to cause the downfall of a country because of how explosive it is. The young prince also looked at the woman who had just arrived.
He was also surprised by how beautiful the woman was. She has long, silky black hair that reaches her waist, and her face radiates an aura of elegance. Her eyes are slanted, and a beauty mark can be seen on the left corner of her eye.
"This prince greets your highness, Princess Zhen Ren." The young princess was also quite surprised by what the young prince of Su looked like, but she kept he composure as a princess.
