Chapter 42.1
What’s going on?
Shi Jin clutched his chest uncomfortably, he thought that the sudden feeling just now was just an illusion but it turned out that it was not an illusion as his racing heart did not slow down.
His brows were tightly knitted into a knot and his eyes were fixed on Li Hao’s direction without blinking.
He suspected that he was mistaken but he saw a faint golden color emanating from Li Hao’s body and the unnatural light was like a star in the night, so profoundly appealing to him.
“Prince1Shi Jin’s royal title is 瑄王/ Xuan Wang/ King Xuan. But I will translate it as Prince Xuan to avoid confusion. Usually the title Wang/King is given to a vassal prince. But so far, Shi Jin isn’t a vassal prince. Xuan?” The voice next to his ear brought him back to his thoughts and Shi Jin saw the official who had just talked to him looking at him worriedly, “What’s wrong with Prince Xuan?”
Although Shi Jin had doubts, it was not convenient to say such things at this time. So, he tried not to pay less attention to Li Hao, shook his head and said, “It’s nothing.”
The official breathed a sigh of relief and made a gesture of invitation: “It’s sunny here, I’m afraid you will get sunburnt, why don’t we go sit down in the tent and talk.”
Shi Jin raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a spring-like smile: “This is exactly what Benwang2Self proclamation title for a Prince/king with a title wants.”
The official smiled and said, “Prince Xuan please.”
After he finished speaking, Shi Jin was led in by the officials.
After walking a certain distance, he finally felt that his heartbeat was no longer so uncontrollable but he still couldn’t resist glancing back in the direction of Li Hao.
He saw that Li Hao had already finished talking with the person next to him and he sat on the chair in a lazy manner, tilting his head and talking to the beautiful boy with a mole on the center of his brow.
The young man with a mole on his brow never paid attention to Li Hao and looked straight at Shi Jin with a pair of pitiful eyes.
However, Shi Jin didn’t even bother to stare at that boy.
He did not have the energy to pay attention to others because he found in despair that – his heart was beating faster again.
bang bang!
bang bang!
It seemed as if it was about to burst through his chest at any moment.
He had to admit that as soon as he took a look at Li Hao as if something went wrong with his body, like he was possessed by a demon.
In the end, Shi Jin took a lot of effort to force himself to look away.

When he came to the tent, he took advantage of the official’s time to exchange pleasantries with each other and waved his hand to summon his personal guard.
“Go and find out the name of the young man in blue who is sitting over there.” Shi Jin ordered softly, “It’s best to find out more in detail.”
The guard said: “Yes.”
After the guard walked away, Shi Jin’s tense expression still did not relax even a little bit.
After a long time, he sighed softly, put a gentle smile on his face again and turned to look for the official.
**
Wen Liang watched with bated breath as Shi Jin walked further and further away and as soon as he followed the official into the tent, his sight was blocked by the veil and he couldn’t see clearly what was going on inside the shed.
He reluctantly glanced a few more times, but still couldn’t see anything, so he reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
In the past, he had listened to so many things said by the system and he had not considered the fourth prince as an outsider for a long time but the distance between him and the fourth prince just now made him aware of the gap between them.
Even if the system said that the fourth prince was the destined person in his life, he did not dare to boldly go up and speak with the fourth prince.
The only fortunate thing is——
The fourth prince also noticed him and kept turning his head to look at him and even turned back after walking so far away.
Perhaps, he is also a special existence in the heart of the fourth prince, maybe this is the secret arrangement that the system once said to him.
Thinking of this, Wen Liang was slightly happy but he couldn’t show his inner happiness, so as not to let Li Hao notice his emotions.
Wen Liang clenched his palms tightly, desperately pretending to be calm and breezy.
Li Hao was still chattering to him but he was no longer in the mood to listen to what Li Hao was saying, his eyes and heart were filled with the gentle smile of the Fourth Prince.
As long as he thought of the Fourth Prince, he felt a sweetness rippling through his heart, and for a while, it was as if his life wasn’t so bitter anymore.
At this moment, Li Hao’s voice stopped abruptly.
Wen Liang thought that Li Hao was finally tired of talking with this piece of wood but Li Hao suddenly stood up from his seat excitedly, looking into the distance with his head poking out.
At the same time, the people around him also got up from their respective chairs, and the chatter continued to reach Wen Liang’s ears.
“His Highness the Crown Prince is also here!”
“Is this true? Rumor has it that His Highness the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince ……” The man was halfway through his sentence when he realized that he had a slip of the tongue and hurriedly stopped talking, only to continue after a moment, “Today the Fourth Prince is here, how come His Highness the Crown Prince is also here?”
“It’s true! Just now, Lord Chen said he saw His Highness’s carriage outside and His Highness did not come alone this time but also brought a gentleman surnamed Wen.”
As soon as these words came out, even Wen Liang, who was listening with his ears open, was shocked.
He covered his mouth in surprise and his face pale.
Could that young man surnamed Wen be…Wen Chi?
Li Hao glanced at Wen Liang, who had a stiff expression. Then with the intention of watching the excitement he leaned over and asked without hesitation, “Dare to ask my lord, do you know the name of the gentleman who is surnamed Wen?”
“Is there any other Young Master Wen in the East Palace?” the man replied, “Isn’t it Wen Changqing’s concubine son Wen Chi who married into the East Palace instead of his elder brother not long ago and made a huge fuss about it? Because of this, he lost his official position and was demoted several ranks by the emperor.”
Others shook their heads and sighed: “I don’t know what Wen Changqing was thinking. Although he did this for his legitimate son, sooner or later the son with a red mole between his eyebrows will have to marry like poured out water3It means a married daughter is like poured-out water. That is, once a daughter is married off, she is no more a member of her parents’ family.. He can’t be regarded as an orthodox son. Why did he do that?”
Everyone started discussing with each other.
As Wen Liang listened from the side, his whole face turned white as a sheet of paper, not because of those people’s gossip, but because of Wen Chi’s arrival.
Even though he had long been prepared for Wen Chi’s arrival, now that he is here, he still couldn’t help grumbling.
He originally had a glimmer of hope that Wen Chi would not come…
Wen Chi was not interested in the peach blossom banquet and he had personally promised him that he would not set foot in the peach blossom banquet but in the end Wen Chi still broke his promise.
It wasn’t until Wen Liang tasted a bit of blood that he suddenly came back to his senses and realized that he accidentally bit his lip. The slight sting was like raindrops, dancing densely on his lips while he stared straight ahead.
Not long after, he saw the familiar figure walking into the crowd.
