I and my bestie dressed up as a rich man's wife and ran away with the ball

Zhu Yuan was very tall, and he held Lu Xi's wrist from the side, almost holding Lu Xi in his arms, even though he didn't touch her.

Maybe because Tangtang always likes to call Zhu Yuan "Uncle Bamboo", Zhu Yuan planted a lot of bamboo in the palace, so he naturally has a bit of the scent of green bamboo.

It was light and pleasant, a very fresh and natural scent. However, in the middle of this scent, Lu Xi felt like he was suffocating.

She tried to pull her wrist back, but Zhu Yuan, who was usually gentle, held it tightly. He applied a little force, then loosened his grip a little for fear of hurting Lu Xi. He just used his large palm to lightly wrap around Lu Xi's wrist, as if he wanted Lu Xi to give an answer to his question.

Noticing that Zhu Yuan was staring at him, Lu Xi's face became even hotter.

Her eyelashes trembled, "No, this is too sudden."

"A little bit." Zhu Yuan nodded. "It may be sudden for you, but for me, it has been a long time."

Lu Xi turned around in surprise and looked at Zhu Yuan's angular face. Lu Xi was a little confused, "Yeah, when did it happen?"

Zhu Yuan hardly hesitated, as if this answer had already gone through his mind thousands of times.

"When we first met."

Lu Xi was even more shocked.

She tried hard to recall the scene of her meeting Zhu Yuan, and then she found that, apart from being amazed by Zhu Yuan's appearance and nodding and saying hello to Zhu Yuan, she and Zhu Yuan had no contact at all.

Even now, when she recalled the original scene, she had no memory of it.

As if knowing Lu Xi's doubts, Zhu Yuan smiled, and his deep eyes fell on Lu Xi's bright eyes. "Before meeting you, in order not to neglect you, I once asked Zhu An about your situation."

"Zhu An likes you two very much." Zhu Yuan explained to Lu Xi, "He told me that the sister surnamed Su is very smart, and the sister surnamed Lu also looks very smart."

"........" Lu Xi was a little speechless. No, what do you mean by looking very smart? She actually didn't need this kind of evaluation. It was because she brought delicious food to Zhu An every day.

Sensing Lu Xi's emotions, Zhu Yuan raised the corners of his lips and squeezed Lu Xi's wrist in a comforting manner, "Zhu An didn't say you were stupid, he might just be using me as a reference."

"Okay." Lu Xi could barely accept this reason.

"Then you came to Lingzhou. When I saw you for the first time, you were wearing a red dress and sunglasses. You pursed your lips slightly, probably because you were a little nervous."

Recalling the scene at that time, Zhu Yuan's eyes naturally had a smile. He told Lu Xi his true thoughts at that time, "It seems that you are indeed a very smart and cold girl, so I am very curious, why did Zhu An say that you look very smart, but what about you in reality?"

"Then what?" Lu Xi asked unconsciously.

"Then, you and Su Ran said hello to me, and I was going to leave with Zhu An. We got in the car first. When the car passed by you and Su Ran, you took off your sunglasses, hugged Su Ran's arm and smiled at her."

It was also a coincidence that at that time, Zhu Yuan didn't know that Lu Xi's favorite flower was red roses. He didn't like this kind of overly flashy and bright flowers.

But that year, the palace was renovated and the Internal Affairs Department came up with a variety of planting plans for Zhu Yuan to approve.

Zhu Yuan originally wanted to choose Yulan, but at that time, he had just finished a five-hour court meeting and was extremely tired, so he accidentally marked the wrong place.

When the red roses bloomed, Zhu Yuan realized that he had chosen the wrong option.

However, the flowers had already been planted, and replanting them would be a waste of time and money. So, by some strange coincidence, this garden of red roses ended up blooming in this solemn and dignified palace.

When the red roses were in full bloom, Su Ran and Lu Xi arrived.

Lu Xi was wearing a red dress and standing in front of the rose garden with smiling eyes. Her bright eyes instantly made the scenery in the garden lose its color.

People always tend to favor their own scarce qualities. In the solemn and dignified palace, they see strict hierarchy, humility and order, and the submission of all.

Countless people smiled at him, but that smile had a strictly defined arc.

In the solemn and dignified palace, the first cluster of red roses bloomed by accident.

The solemn and dignified king bowed for the rose for the first time.

At first sight, your heart is moved and your heartstrings are aroused, and the following melody fluctuates so smoothly.

Zhu An likes to visit Su Ran and Lu Xi. Zhu Yuan is busy with official duties and can't come much, but whenever he has time, he will come over in Zhu An's name to relax for half a day.

When Su Ran and Lu Xi are together, they always have endless things to talk about and endless gossip.

Zhu An was not interested in gossip. Every time he sat next to the two of them, he would occasionally cast his eyes on Lu Xi.

Lu Xi was always smiling, with his eyes curved, like the crescent moon he saw when he looked into the distance from the palace when he was a child.

During the many years he became the crown prince, he was busy with official duties, and only occasionally looked up at the sky. The shallow crescent moon was the only place in the heart of the crown prince, who was noble, restrained and polite, where the breeze could blow in.
