Are you all after the heroine? I married that female devil

The next morning, Ye Liyan woke up earlier than Shen Yian for the flower banquet.

When reaching the state of spiritual wandering, sleeping is just a state of meditation and cultivation, and Shen Yian can sense any movement of the beauty beside him.

"Why did you wake up so early?"

Shen Yian opened his eyes, looked at Ye Liyan who was tiptoeing and about to step over him and asked with a chuckle.

"Of course, we need to prepare early."

Ye Liyan said this seriously, and did not forget to lower her head to give Shen Yian a good morning kiss.

Before Shen Yian could savor the moment, the beauty in front of him turned into a gust of fragrant wind and left the bedside.

The empty feeling made him twist in the dark while hugging the quilt on the bed for a while, and finally he made a decision.

get up!

After practicing Hunyuanquan for a while in the martial arts arena, it was time for breakfast.

Since one is attending such a top-level banquet, one cannot steal the limelight from the host of the banquet, nor can one bring shame to the royal palace, so there are many considerations on attire, including the color and brightness of the clothing.

Shen Yian came here simply to join in the fun, but after learning that there were so many things to pay attention to when it comes to dressing, he couldn't help but recall the times when he and his brothers were forced to learn all those things about etiquette and rules when they were little. It made him feel overwhelmed just listening to them.

This also reminded him that from childhood to adulthood, the old man seemed to have worn the same robe, and except for some special occasions and festivals, it had hardly changed.

He now doubted whether the robe the old man was wearing was some kind of top-grade precious robe, which was why he was so reluctant to change it.

Time flies and soon it is time to go to the banquet.

The carriage set off from the palace, and Shen Yian accompanied Ye Liyan to Luo River.

Lifting a corner of the curtain, the Luo River, which was once bustling, is now empty. Looking a little further away, one can see a huge ship occupying the center of the river - Yunjianlai.

“It’s quite a grand occasion.”

Shen Yian couldn't help but sigh and laugh.

It was only because of An Lingyu's special identity that she was able to achieve such an effect of clearing the scene. If it were any other wife of a duke or marquis, she really wouldn't be able to do this.

"Go ahead. Your husband will always be here."

Holding Ye Liyan's little hand, Shen Yian signaled her not to worry.

"Ok!"

Ye Liyan smiled sweetly, stood up and got off the carriage.

There were already many small boats waiting on the shore. When they saw the guests coming, they greeted them warmly.

Ye Liyan and Qingyu successfully boarded the boat and headed towards the clouds.

In the carriage, Shen Yian received the message from Zhulong.

Everything around was normal. Apart from the masters of the Imperial Guards, no other suspicious elements were found on the ship.

The only thing worth noting is the personal maid beside An Lingyu, whose strength has reached the Half-Step Heavenly Martial Realm.

Shen Yian felt that An Lingyu would not be stupid enough to do something weird at this critical juncture, but it was possible that she might be disgusting.

While waiting for the banquet to end, he had to think about how to resolve the issue in Jingzhou and whether he should go to the palace to find the old man tonight.

After all, there was such a big commotion in the Northern Frontier, it is impossible for the old man not to know about it. He hasn't sent anyone to find him in the palace until now, which means that he wants him to speak on his own initiative.

If I go there, I'll probably be asked about the Dongxiang Tower in Taihe City, and it's not easy to tell the inside story.

While thinking, Shen Yian relied on his spiritual sense to eavesdrop on the conversation between An Lingyu and her personal maid.

During the conversation, when An Lingyu learned that Ye Liyan had arrived on the ship, she simply said "I know."

Instead, he asked whether Gu Ruoyi was present and whether a seat had been arranged.

Gu Ruoyi?

Shen Yian was puzzled. Why was An Lingyu suddenly so interested in Gu Ruoyi? Her tone was very gentle. Could it be that they were very familiar with each other?

By the way, he remembered that Grandpa Ye mentioned that Gu Qing was leading his troops north this time to Liaodong to reinforce his second brother Shen Junyan.

This would explain clearly why An Lingyu had such an attitude towards Gu Ruoyi.

After thinking about it carefully, Shen Yian suddenly came to his senses.

The other party did this and that, it was not just to make friends with Gu Qing and his daughter, it was clearly to take the opportunity to bring Gu Ruoyi and Shen Junyan together.

Shen Junyan's prestige in the army, combined with Gu Qing's prestige in the army, is simply a double sword combined, which is extremely beneficial to the An family.

"Snapped!"

Shen Yian slapped his forehead and smiled bitterly. He thought his fifth brother would win for sure, but he never expected this to happen.

His second brother's sudden listing really caught him off guard.

Given the current situation, Shen Tengfeng is likely to stay in Tianwu City and will not follow the army north.

Then the problem arises. The only things Fifth Brother and Gu Ruoyi spend time with in the city are shopping and eating, just like ordinary friends.

But on the battlefield, a life-and-death friendship can greatly increase the warmth of the relationship between each other.

Fifth brother is in danger, it’s not that he doesn’t have confidence in Shen Tengfeng.

Because it's not like the brothers haven't gotten along with each other in the palace before. Unlike Shen Tengfeng who is shy and cautious when it comes to feelings, Shen Junyan's personality is straightforward no matter what. If he likes someone, he will say it to their face without any hesitation.

Shen Yian is not afraid that his elder brother Shen Muchen will turn evil in the future. He is a little worried that after the war, Shen Tengfeng will find out that the two are together and will not be able to withstand the blow and turn evil on the spot.

What a mess.

Poor fifth brother, he has a new powerful enemy.

He would not get involved in such matters. Who is with whom is their own business. He should just watch and watch.

Thinking of this, Shen Yian finally understood many things.

I might have been overthinking it all. The other party invited Ye Liyan only because her identity as the Princess of Chu was there and could not be ignored.

If this is really the case, it would be great, and let this banquet end smoothly and lively.

If life is stable and happy, who would want to be surrounded by all kinds of conspiracies and intrigues every day?

Coming from the clouds.

Please clearly state on the post that those attending the banquet can bring one attendant on board.

Although attendants were called attendants, they were also divided into different levels. Generally, there were maids who were slaves. They could not even enter the cabins specially prepared for attendants. They could only stand on the deck and endure the scorching sun, not to mention entering the main hall with their masters.

Like the personal maidservant beside An Lingyu, she holds an official rank and her status is naturally extraordinary.

"See the princess."

It was hard not to notice Ye Liyan's beautiful blue eyes. Many young ladies who boarded the ship at the same time recognized the Princess of Chu at a glance and hurried forward to pay their respects.

"No need to be so polite." Ye Liyan smiled slightly and said in a gentle tone.

When entering the main hall, the maid stretched out her hand to stop him, saying, "Sorry, you can't follow me in. And what you have on you..."

Seeing the bow and arrow and knife on Qingyu's body, the maid swallowed her saliva obviously.

Qingyu looked at the wife of the Duke who entered with her entourage and sighed inwardly. His Highness was still forward-looking. He took out a golden waist badge and said calmly, "I am responsible for the safety of the Princess on the orders of His Highness the King of Chu."

"I'm sorry, Princess. I was tactless and blocked your way."

The blue-clothed palace maid beside An Lingyu came out from somewhere, and then, with a "slap", the maid who blocked the way was slapped.

"Go down and receive your punishment."

The palace maid in green said indifferently.

"Yes... yes!" The maid didn't dare to breathe, she covered her face and ran away in panic.

His gaze fell back on Ye Liyan. The maid in blue made way for her and extended her hand, saying respectfully, "Princess, please."
