Yan Mingjue stood in his mother's palace, looking into the distance, but his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

He is the prince of a country, with noble status and peerless elegance, but there is a sadness deeply buried in his heart.

It has been more than half a year since Jun'er left him. He sent so many people across the country and even to other countries to search, but still found nothing.

For so long, the longing for him has not faded but has become deeper and deeper. It has even been deeply engraved in his bones. He has met him in his dreams every time for more than half a year.

As the mother of a country, Bai Bingyao has always been worried about her own son's marriage.

She knew that her eldest son was aloof in front of his family, cold and ruthless in front of outsiders, and had never been close to any woman.

This made her couldn't help but wonder, did Jue'er have a physical illness? Still a good man? Even if he is a good man, she will admit it.

Even if it's a habit of cutting sleeves, it doesn't matter, as long as he is happy, as long as he thinks about the return of the person who can accompany him for a lifetime.

But when asked, he didn't say he had someone he liked. Was he afraid of their interference or did he really not have one?

She knew that Jue'er's unparalleled appearance was admired by many official women, but none of them could move his heart.

This made her worried. In her mother's heart, she always hoped that her son could find a partner who was truly worthy of relying on.

At this time, Bai Bingyao walked up to Yan Mingjue and said softly: "Jue'er! Today is your birthday. Your father, the emperor, and your empress have already held a banquet for you in the palace and invited all the women of the right age to attend your birthday banquet. .

Go and see if there is a woman you like. "

Yan Mingjue stiffened slightly when he heard his mother's words. This was what her mother said most every year after he turned thirteen.

He was well aware of his mother's expectations, and he also understood that as the future prince, finding a suitable princess was crucial to the stability of the country.

But he was destined to disappoint them. He didn't want any concubines, he only wanted his king.

Emperor Yanqi echoed from the side: "Jue'er! Your mother and queen are right. As the future prince, you should marry the princess as soon as possible and spread the branches of our royal family as soon as possible. When my father is as old as you are fifteen years old, , you are over a year old."

"My father, my mother, my queen, and my sons are still young and have no thoughts of marrying for the time being.

Since you have prepared a big banquet for your son, let’s go out first! "

The queen and the emperor looked at each other, sighed and shook their heads. They knew this was the result.

Knowing that the prince would not accept soft and hard advice, he would not be able to accept it if an imperial edict were issued. With his character, if an imperial edict was issued to give him concubines, he would kill all those people.

"Okay, okay! Let's go!"

The two father and son turned around and followed Bai Bingyao to the banquet hall where the palace was hosting guests.

When they arrived at the banquet hall, the women around them who were all dressed up in fancy clothes saw the prince wearing a silver mask appear, and they all talked excitedly and tremblingly.

The invited ministers paid their respects to the emperor, queen, and prince, and were allowed to sit in special seats and talk.

The banquet is ready, the gorgeous banquet hall is filled with delicious food, the lights are bright, and the atmosphere is warm.

Yan Mingjue looked at the dancing dancers, aristocratic daughters and official ladies, but he was not moved at all.

He had no feelings for any of these women, as if his heart had been obscured by the indifference of the bustling world.

Looking at everything around him coldly, he felt a little bored, and his thoughts drifted into the distance unconsciously.

Suddenly interrupted by a familiar voice.

"Brother Prince, are these people invited by the father, the emperor, and the empress? They are all a bunch of vulgar fans, and I don't think they are easy to see!

I have been practicing diligently for more than half a year, and my martial arts has improved greatly.

Where are your guards? Brother Prince, can you let him come and discuss it? "

When An Yi heard the second prince's words, he glanced at his master's expression and saw that it was indeed like that again.

He hurriedly came over and said, "Second Prince, your escort has gone to a far away place and it will take a long time to come back."

"That's it! Okay then! When he comes back, let him come and compete with me in martial arts."

"Wait! You can go."

Hearing what the prince said, Yan Mingxiu was speechless until the prince Xi Jing left without disturbing him too much.

After watching the emperor's brother leave, Prince Yan continued to watch the birthday celebration in full swing with boredom.

If today was not his birthday, he would really want to throw up his sleeves and leave.

As soon as the luxurious banquet began, Yang Liu, the daughter of the prime minister, danced a graceful dance. Her elegant dance attracted everyone.

Later, her cousin Wang Yulu also showed her talent. She held a sword in her hand, and the sword light splashed out as she danced, like a bolt of lightning piercing the night sky, which was dazzling.

Liu Xin'er, the daughter of Shangshu, is world-famous for her peerless piano skills.

She sat elegantly in front of the piano, her fingers flicking the strings, and the notes flowing like spring water suddenly filled the entire banquet hall.

The sound of the piano is like crying and complaining, which makes people intoxicated, and it seems that they can feel the tenderness deep in her heart.

Then, the daughter of General Qin Fenghua also appeared. She holds a spear and throws countless petals as she dances, like a dream.

Each petal contains her true feelings, as if she is expressing her love for His Royal Highness.

Li Yuchai, the daughter of an imperial physician, was good at medical painting. She used her brush to outline an exquisite painting.

The landscapes in the paintings are as real as they come, making people feel like they are actually there. Her paintings contain blessings and good wishes for His Royal Highness.

Not only the official ladies showed off their talents, but also the aristocratic ladies were not to be outdone.

They recited poems and composed poems with witty remarks. They expressed the jealousy and disdain of different classes with clever couplets and all kinds of overt and covert sarcasm.

The entire banquet hall was very lively, and the various talents displayed by the noble ladies and official ladies were intertwined and competing for beauty. They tried their best to arouse His Highness the Crown Prince's attention and admiration.

However, His Highness the Crown Prince did not seem interested in these talent shows. he

His brows were slightly furrowed and his eyes were cold, as if he was turning a blind eye to these performances. Everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment and anger.

Just when everyone was frustrated, His Royal Highness suddenly stood up and walked towards the stage with a cold face.

He looked at everyone coldly and said coldly: "Ladies, I have already said that I will not have any thoughts about you, and don't waste any time on me." After saying that, he turned around and left without hesitation. .

Everyone saw the prince walking away without leaving anything behind, and no one thought about it. They could only keep guessing, was the prince a good man? Or have some physical illness?
