The Imperial Family's carriage had been waiting at the dock for a long time. When they saw the ship docking, the Imperial Guards parted the crowd and made a path for them.
When Prince Jing got off the ship, the black clothed guards quickly gathered around him.
"His Highness Prince Jing is indeed extraordinarily handsome." The young ladies in the private room next door were very excited.
"Rumor has it that his eyes are the most affectionate. Just one look is enough to make people unable to forget him." Another young lady said infatuatedly.
Su Yu's mouth twitched. After talking for so long, it turned out that these young ladies had never seen Prince Jing before! He turned his head to look at the fanatical crowd below. The beach was flat, so when Prince Jing walked on the beach, most people's line of sight was blocked by the people in front of them. However, Prince Jing only took a few steps to get on the Imperial Family's carriage. Even if they stood in the front row, they would only be able to see him.
"Do these people really recognize Prince Jing?" Su Yu was very suspicious. These people probably didn't even know what Prince Jing looked like. Otherwise, if the Emperor and Prince Jing looked so similar, why didn't anyone recognize him when he was walking on the street with the Emperor?
"I don't recognize him." His Majesty the Emperor ate the last prawn, wiped his hands, and glanced at the scene below with a hint of schadenfreude.
Prince Jing was a country's Imperial Prince and was stationed in the Eastern Sea all year round. Naturally, very few people in the capital had seen him before. How could those young ladies of noble families, who rarely left their homes, have seen Prince Jing before? Everything was just a legend … …
This all started with the young lady of Marquis Chang Chun's Household.
Two years ago, in the twelfth month of the lunar year, the Empress Dowager held a banquet for a married woman.
Because this kind of banquet was a good opportunity for the madams to build relationships and matchmake, most of the madams of high ranking officials brought their favorite daughters or sisters-in-law.
This Miss Cen was Marquis Chang Chun's youngest sister. Because of her weak body, she was very doted on by her brother. The charcoal fire in the warm room of the banquet was very strong. This made the weak Miss Cen unable to stand it, so she went out to get some fresh air. As he walked, he unknowingly walked to the side of a small lake.
The wintersweet flowers by the lakeside were in full bloom, and one could smell their fragrance from afar. At the end of the fragrant flowers, there was a slender figure standing with his hands behind his back. That person wore a sapphire blue brocade robe with wide sleeves and a silver tassel crown on his head. Some fine black hair hung down from his temples, covering the side of his face that was almost perfect.
"May I ask if this gentleman …" Miss Cen was a little dazed by the sight. She forgot that no man was supposed to be here and tried to approach him.
The man turned his head so that Miss Cen could see the smiling peach blossom eyes.
The ends of her eyes were like peach blossoms, unstained and vermilion. Her bright eyes were like mist, full of emotion.
When the handsome man saw her, he seemed a little surprised. His thin lips parted slightly. "Don't go any further!"
"Ah?" Miss Cen, who was so focused on looking at him, didn't notice that she had already stepped onto the frozen lake. Crack, crack, crack. The thin ice couldn't withstand Miss Cen's weight and quickly cracked. Before she could react, she fell into the icy water with a splash.
The mysterious handsome man was naturally His Highness Prince Jing. When he saw this, he lightly tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and flew over. He grabbed Miss Cen's collar and pulled her head out of the water. Then he threw her onto the shore. Ah, no, he gently placed her on the shore. When he saw that her face had turned purple from the cold, he took off his outer robe and wrapped it around her delicate body.
It wasn't until the handsome man called for the palace servants to bring her back to the warm room that Miss Cen realized that the person who saved her was Prince Jing.
"What happened after that?" Su Yu poked the Emperor, who was lying on his lap.
The carriage was swaying. It took four hours to travel from the eastern suburbs to the imperial palace. The sleepy Sir Cat had always been an irresponsible storyteller and would fall asleep in the middle of a story, so he had to be reminded from time to time.
The Emperor yawned. "After that, she died." After he finished speaking, he reached out and hugged Su Yu's waist, preparing to sleep.
"Hey!" Su Yu pushed the Emperor. Who would tell a story like this? "How did she die?"
"She died of an illness." The Emperor slapped away the hand that kept poking his shoulder and finished speaking impatiently.
Miss Cen's health had been poor since she was a child. When she fell into the icy water in the dead of winter, she fell seriously ill when she returned home. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't be cured. In the end, she died a tragic death.
After that, there was a rumor in the capital that Miss Cen couldn't forget Prince Jing after she saw him. When she returned home, she became lovesick. Unfortunately, there was a difference in seniority between them and they couldn't get married. As a result, she washed her face with tears every day and died of depression. At that time, the people who knew that Prince Jing had saved Miss Cen were all young ladies and madams of high ranking officials in the capital. Therefore, the news spread widely in the boudoir. Thus, the rumor that Prince Jing was so handsome that he could steal a person's life spread throughout the capital …
Su Yu's mouth twitched. "Why was Prince Jing standing in the middle of the lake?"
It was the twelfth month of winter, and there was a thin layer of ice on the lake. Moreover, it wasn't far from the warm rooms where the womenfolk were staying. It was really strange that Prince Jing would appear there at that time.
"To catch fish." The Emperor looked at Su Yu in confusion. What else could he be doing?
Su Yu: "… …"
Prince Jing's carriage slowed down a bit because of the enthusiasm of the people. He waited for the Emperor to return to the palace to change his clothes and drink a cup of hot tea before he hurriedly entered the palace.
"This subject pays his respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor!" Prince Jing's moon-white uniform looked dignified and serious when worn by Prince Li, but it looked noble and luxurious when worn by Prince Jing.
"Rise." An Hong-chul waved his hand and motioned for him to rise.
Su Yu stood to the side and looked curiously at Prince Jing, who looked 70% similar to the Emperor. The two of them looked almost identical except for their eyes. But no matter if they stood together or looked at each other alone, it was impossible to mistake them for each other.
"This must be Consort Xian?" Prince Jing raised his head and looked at Su Yu. His peach blossom eyes were naturally smiling. Even if he didn't mean to smile, he still looked very likable. His cadence of voice carried an indescribable romantic feeling.
"Greetings to His Highness Prince Jing." Su Yu was stunned and hurriedly saluted.
Prince Jing returned the salute and said with a chuckle: "I heard that Consort Xian is quite proficient in the art of killing fish. Do you want to go to the East Sea …"
"Whoosh!" Before he could finish speaking, there was a sudden sound of something breaking through the air. Prince Jing's eyes sharpened. He raised his hand and caught the object that was flying towards him. He used one hand to make a flower to dissolve the profound force contained in the object. He slowly lowered his head. Between his two slender fingers, there was a white … crab stick.
Su Yu was shocked. Before she could figure out what was going on, Prince Jing had already put the crab stick in his mouth. "It tastes good."
The Emperor looked coldly at Prince Jing. Prince Jing looked back at him with a smile.
"You go out first." An Hong-chul lifted his chin at Su Yu.
Su Yu sensed that the atmosphere was not right and was a little worried.
"What? Are you afraid of losing face in front of your younger sister-in-law? "Prince Jing chewed on the crab stick and said with a smile.
"Hmph!" The Emperor snorted coldly. He jumped up and punched Prince Jing's handsome face.
Prince Jing immediately raised his hand to block the attack. At the same time, he reached out to grab the Emperor's throat.
Su Yu was stunned as she watched the Emperor and Prince Jing fight. They fought bare-handed, drew their swords, and finally threw away their weapons. Suddenly, they turned into cats and started biting and scratching each other.
A white light flashed. The golden cat and the pure black cat rolled into a ball.
She had thought that King Jing's father was the Retired Emperor's twin brother, so King Jing's fur should be the same color as Sauce's. She had not expected it to be a black cat without any other colors.
The golden cat had grown very fast recently. Now, it was about the same size as the black cat. It was not at a disadvantage when fighting. It kicked its hind legs and flipped over the black charcoal ball that was trying to bite his ear. Then, it pounced on the charcoal ball and bit its neck.
"Meow!" The black cat howled. It kicked its legs and slowly stopped struggling.
Su Yu hurried to stop the fight. She was afraid that Prince Jing would be bitten to death by the Emperor. This was killing his brother! "Your Majesty, let go."
The golden cat whimpered twice in a low voice. Then, it slowly let go. It squatted next to the black cat and wagged its tail condescendingly.
The black cat flicked its tail twice. Looking at the golden ball of fur, it slowly stretched out its paw and scratched it again and again.
His Majesty the Emperor raised his paw and hit the black cat's head.
The black cat rolled on the ground to avoid its younger brother's merciless attack. Then, it turned into a handsome man wearing a black robe. It gracefully flicked the dust off his robe. "This time, you win … cough. This subject will go to Anguo Tower to greet Imperial Uncle first. Then, I will report back to Your Majesty about the battle in the Eastern Sea." After saying that, he politely bowed to the Emperor. Then, he smiled at Su Yu with his peach blossom eyes. Then, he picked up the prince's uniform on the ground and turned to leave the North Pole Palace.
Things changed too quickly. Su Yu was a little dumbfounded. She picked up the Emperor and smoothed out his messy fur. "Prince Jing is …"
"He went to fight with Imperial Uncle." The golden cat jumped down and turned into the handsome Emperor. "Ignore him. Let's eat first."
