After Prince Guo was reborn, Zhen Huan became invincible
Chapter 172 Shen Beile Hero Saves Beauty
Yu Rao walked carefully on the path in the imperial garden. The road under her feet had already become slippery like a mirror due to the trampling of eunuchs and palace maids.
She originally wanted to find a spacious place to play in the snow and build a snowman, but she found that the entire imperial garden was covered with snow and the road was blocked by a thick layer of ice.
Suddenly, Yu Rao saw an open space in the distance where the snow had not been trampled yet, and she felt excited.
She quickened her pace and ran towards the open space, but her feet seemed to have pulleys. She slipped and fell backwards.
Just when she thought she was going to fall heavily to the cold ground, she closed her eyes, ready to die. She knew very well that it would be very painful and she might even bleed.
Just as Yu Rao was preparing to feel the pain, suddenly, a pair of strong arms quickly stretched out from behind her and held her tightly in their arms.
Yu Rao realized that she did not fall to the ground. She slowly opened her lively big eyes, her long eyelashes trembling upwards. What came into her sight was a man, the man she had seen at the full moon banquet last night, who was sitting right opposite her at the time.
Yu Rao was looking at the man in front of her at this moment, a little distracted, and even forgot to get up.
Her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, her face flushed, and she seemed to enjoy this sudden hug.
"Girl? Girl?" A pair of deep eyes were staring at her, full of concern.
Beile Shen looked at the beautiful girl in front of him. He didn't know whether she was the emperor's concubine, nor did he know how to address her.
When Yu Rao heard the other person calling her, she realized that she had been lying in the man's arms for a while.
She struggled to get up slowly, and said apologetically: "Thank you, sir... for saving my life."
Yu Rao stuttered, still feeling a little nervous.
Prince Shen was worried that he was being rude, because in the harem there were only the emperor's concubines and palace maids. The woman in front of him was not dressed like a palace maid, so he thought she might be the emperor's concubine. What's more, she had sat next to the concubines at the full moon banquet last night.
So Shen Beile stopped calling her "girl" and said:
"This young lady is very polite, but I don't know which young lady you are..."
When Yu Rao heard the other party address her as "young master", her temper flared up. She was outspoken and interrupted Shen Beile's words, saying angrily: "Does anyone with a flat head and a clean face have to marry the emperor? I don't want to."
When Shen Beile heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy. It turned out that she was not the emperor's concubine. This was great.
"Don't be surprised, young lady. I am Aixinjueluo Yunxi, also known as Shen Beile. I thought that apart from the emperor's concubines, there were few other women in the harem, so..."
Although Yu Rao heard the person in front of her say that she was Shen Beile, she did not feel timid, but said calmly:
"No wonder the prince mistook me. I guess all the pretty girls in the palace are those who have received favors from the emperor, which is why the prince made such a guess."
Shen Beile admired the girl in front of him a little more. "The girl is so proud and arrogant that she even regards the wealth of the emperor as nothing. It seems that only the fame of the seventeenth brother can catch the girl's eye."
Hearing this, Yu Rao replied unwillingly, "Why, only men from the royal family are good? I would rather marry an ordinary man and live my whole life there than ever set foot in the palace."
Shen Beile was speechless after hearing what Yu Rao said, so he made an apology with his hands and said, "Excuse me, I underestimated you."
Yu Rao smiled with satisfaction, imagining that she would marry a man of her dreams and live with him until old age. She felt that this was enough for her life.
Shen Beile looked at Yu Rao's beautiful smile and couldn't help but feel intoxicated. He asked again, "After talking so much, I still don't know what your name is?"
Yu Rao looked at Shen Beile and found that he had apologized to her. He had just saved her life. Most importantly, he was very handsome. She had sneaked glances at him several times at the full moon banquet last night.
So Yu Rao restrained her temper and bowed respectfully, saying, "I am Yu Rao, your humble servant. I am honored to meet you, Your Majesty. Imperial Concubine Xi is my elder sister. The Emperor recently brought me to the palace to accompany my elder sister."
"I just don't know why the prince appears here." Yu Rao asked curiously.
"I just came to pay my respects to the Queen Mother. I happened to pass by here when I came out of the Queen Mother's Shoukang Palace. I saw you were in danger, so I helped you." Shen Beile answered gently, with a hint of doting in his voice.
Yu Rao nodded gratefully, and then said to Shen Beile: "I saw a patch of snow over there, it's very thick, look there."
Yu Rao pointed in that direction and continued, "That area has not been trampled yet. I want to go there to build a snowman. If you have nothing to do, why don't we go together?"
Yu Rao thought that it would be more fun if there was someone to play with her at this moment.
Shen Beile was delighted and naturally very happy. He immediately agreed: "Okay, this is the first snow this winter, and I haven't played with it yet."
Yu Rao was extremely happy when she heard that the Divine Prince agreed to play with her.
So she turned and walked forward.
But because the ground was too slippery, she was so absorbed in her joy that she forgot that the road beneath her feet was slippery. She lost her balance again and almost fell.
Shen Beile quickly supported her and said with a smile: "Be careful, the snow on this road is too slippery."
Yu Rao smiled awkwardly, realizing that her behavior was a little clumsy.
At the same time, he was deeply moved, and Shen Beile looked at her with concern in his eyes.
Looking at her lovely appearance, Shen Beile couldn't help laughing. His laughter echoed in the air, making the atmosphere around them relaxed and cheerful.
Shen Beile asked tentatively: "Yu Rao, can I hold your hand and walk with you? If you fall, I can be your cushion and you won't feel any pain."
Yu Rao blushed when she heard this, lowered her head and whispered, "What kind of lewd words are you saying?"
Wouldn't being a meat cushion mean pressing Shen Beile under her? Yu Rao felt ashamed just thinking about it, and she didn't dare to think about it any further.
But at the same time, Shen Beile saw a white and slender hand reaching out to him.
Beile Shen took Yu Rao's hand. Her skin was smooth, delicate, and soft, but a little cold.
Beile Shen did not respond. He silently held Yu Rao's hand tighter, hoping that he could pass more of the warmth in his palm to Yu Rao.
The two men walked forward cautiously, leaving behind their footprints, one big and one small, on the snow. Shen Beile looked at those footprints and thought they were very beautiful.
Soon the two came to a flat, vast expanse of thick snow that had not been trampled by anyone.
