Reborn Female Assassin Falls in Love with Tsundere Little Prince

As the king of a country, he had to do many things. He knew very well that although he loved Ye Xi deeply, he could not ignore the affairs of the country and the court just because of her.

Since you are in this position today, you should shoulder this responsibility, and endure some suffering that others cannot endure for the sake of millions of people and the foundation laid by your ancestors.

Yan Ruoshi naturally understood what Yan Kaiyu meant. After all, this was the brother who grew up with him. It was no exaggeration to say that he was the smartest person in the world.

How could such a smart person not see through his disguise of ignorance?

His expression gradually became guilty, and his tone was bitter: "As the ruler of a country, I have no choice but to let my beloved suffer so much. I can only numb myself and pretend not to know."

He stroked the ring on his finger, sighed softly, and continued with relief: "However, now that my royal brother has offered me the best hangover soup, how can I not wake up?"

After hearing what he said, Yan Kaiyu stood up and saluted respectfully.

This former big boy can now really stand on his own. Facts have proved that handing the country over to him was a very clear choice, which made Yan Kaiyu very pleased.

The reason is that he would not ignore the dynasty because of his romantic feelings, nor would he abandon his heavy burden for his own selfish reasons.

On this point, Yan Kaiyu admitted that he was not as good as his younger brother. After all, he had given up, or escaped from, the responsibility and mission that should have fallen on him for his own reasons.

Everything has been discussed.

Yan Kaiyu left the Yangxin Palace, feeling relieved.

He now only hoped that tomorrow's palace banquet would come soon and end soon, so that he could go home and do something that he should have done a long time ago but had been putting off until now.

At this moment, he quickened his pace and returned to Jingchun Palace. He wanted to take his future princess to the palace to choose some clothes and jewelry for tomorrow's palace banquet. He wanted to dress her up to be as dazzling as the stars.

However, his future princess was born rebellious and refused to listen to him no matter what. No matter how eloquent Yan Kaiyu's words were, she remained unmoved.

In the end, in order to get some peace and quiet, she simply ran away so that Yan Kaiyu couldn't find her.

Shangguan Zimeng just likes the original flavor. To her, natural and unadorned beauty is the most beautiful, while those with heavy makeup seem too tacky.

Besides, she didn't want to attract too much attention at such a banquet, so as not to offend the daughters of the princes and ministers. If she made enemies, they would stab her in the back from time to time in the future. Who could bear this?

Moreover, in this dynasty full of intrigue, the identity of the future Princess of Yan was enough to make her the envy of others.

The first bird to stick its head out gets shot. Although she is stupid, she still understands this principle.

I shouldn't say that with her intelligence, she probably can't handle these conspiracies. On this point, her self-awareness and self-positioning are still very clear.

So, this scene happened at the palace banquet the next night.

The daughters of other princes and ministers all wore gold and silver and had gorgeous clothes. Their every move revealed their extraordinary and extravagant family background.

In this beautiful scenery, only one person seems different—Shangguan Zimeng.

She just casually wore a light-colored dress to deal with it, and put on a little makeup. Moreover, it was only at Yan Kaiyu's strong request that she wore some less conspicuous headdresses and pendants.

However, the more she acted like this, the more fresh, beautiful, and eye-catching she looked. This was contrary to her original intention, but it was consistent with Yan Kaiyu's original idea.

In order to match her outfit, Yan Kaiyu did not wear anything particularly formal, but just chose a light blue brocade dress. This made her look very scholarly and elegant.

With the ringing of a few bells, the dinner officially began.

The emperor and the queen walked into the hall.

All the officials bowed their heads and shouted respectfully in unison: "Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!"

Yan Ruoshi was obviously very happy, and his tone was very cheerful: "My dear ministers, please stand up without formalities. Today we are hosting a banquet for all officials, so there is no need to be restrained."

An unknown minister asked, "Your Majesty, why is the Queen Mother not at the palace banquet today?"

"Oh. That's right. The Queen Mother suddenly felt very unwell today. She is now recuperating in the palace and was unable to attend the banquet."

Shangguan Zimeng was puzzled after hearing the emperor's explanation. She whispered in Yan Kaiyu's ear, "Isn't that right? When I went to visit my mother this afternoon, she was full of energy and asked me a lot of strange questions. How come I suddenly felt unwell in the evening?"

Yan Kaiyu glanced around, and his stern eyes scared away those surprised looks.

Then he said slowly, "It's banquets like this that my mother hates to attend. When my father was around, she would try every possible way to avoid them. So, every time there's a banquet like this, my mother will feel uncomfortable. Do you understand?"

Shangguan Zimeng nodded thoughtfully, intending to put her learning into practice.

She covered her stomach, her expression became painful, and her voice sounded a little hurried: "Ouch, my stomach hurts, husband, I'm afraid I can't..."

She was about to get up and leave, but was stopped by someone next to her: "Don't pretend with me. Your little cleverness is not good enough."

Shangguan Zimeng had no choice but to sit in her original position obediently, and from time to time she tilted her ears to listen to the ministers' flattery of Yan Kaiyu.

There are really thousands of good sentences, and each one is different.

She admired those who worked in the officialdom from the bottom of her heart. It was not easy for them! She also admired Yan Kaiyu for being able to reply to them one by one in official language with a smile on her face.

Time passed little by little, and when the banquet was halfway through, Shangguan Zimeng gradually realized that this place was not that boring after all, and she began to enjoy it all.

There are three reasons. The first is that the food here is delicious. The second is that there is a handsome guy by my side. The third and most important reason is that there are so many beautiful women at this banquet!

At this moment, she was not as listless as when she first arrived, but was in high spirits. She was eating meat and drinking tea (Yan Kaiyu didn't allow her to drink, there was nothing she could do) and staring intently at the fairies dancing gracefully in the center of the hall.

It seems that the rumors are true, looking at beautiful women can really make people feel refreshed. After all, who doesn't love beautiful women? This is not gender-specific.

However, her behavior made the handsome guy next to her very unhappy. Yan Kaiyu felt that he was completely ignored by his future princess, which made him feel very insignificant.

So, while she was looking at beautiful women, he reminded her several times to be more restrained and not to stare at them so blatantly.

But what he got was: "Shut up and eat your food. I advise you to mind your own business."
