I Don't Want to Be a Charmboy【Quick Wear】

The birthday banquet arrived as scheduled.

The palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the atmosphere was festive. The emperor sat on a high throne, wearing a gorgeous dragon robe and smiling.

The ministers dressed in casual clothes and respectfully bowed to the emperor to wish him a happy birthday.

The banquet was filled with delicacies and fine wines.

Lin Shen packed up casually, put on a crescent-white dress, and set off in a carriage.

When they arrived at the palace gate, Lin Shen just got off the carriage and saw Xuanyuan Yi, who seemed to have just arrived at the palace gate as well.

Xuanyuan Yi had been waiting at the palace gate for a while, just to find a chance to meet Lin Shen by chance.

As soon as he saw the young man's carriage, he pretended to have just arrived, pretending to see Lin Shen casually, and then walked over quickly with hurried steps.

"Your Highness, what a coincidence." Xuanyuan Yi happily straightened his messy clothes.

Lin Shen nodded and curled his lips, "What a coincidence, General."

Xuanyuan Yi blushed. The boy looked particularly handsome today. He was dressed in a plain white robe with fluttering sleeves and long hair as black as ink. As the boy was not yet an adult, he did not wear a hair crown and just tied his hair up casually. When the breeze blew, his hair fluttered gently, as if he was an immortal who walked out of a painting, making people unable to help but fall in love with him.

"Let's go in together." Xuanyuan Yi Xuanyuan Yi said as he looked at Lin Shen expectantly.

Lin Shen was slightly stunned, with no expression on his face, and nodded.

The two walked into the palace side by side, attracting a lot of gazes along the way, but one was kind and the other was malicious.

After entering the palace, Lin Shen immediately saw the emperor sitting on a high seat, playing with his wine cup boredly.

Xiao Qi, who had originally lowered his head, suddenly raised his head, and their eyes met.

Lin Shen was shocked. He had a bad feeling and always felt that the emperor was going to say something.

Sure enough, just as Lin Shen was about to find a seat to sit down, Xiao Qi spoke up, "Prince Xuanping, sit here. I have something to tell you."

Lin Shen looked in the direction Xiao Qi pointed. It was only one step away from Xiao Qi's position, which was really close.

Lin Shen frowned. Who arranged the seat so close to the emperor? Is Yuguo such a close minister? No wonder Xiao Qi called him the Li Emperor. The seating arrangement is so unique.

Who did it? It could only be Eunuch Li who knows our emperor best. This was arranged by our Eunuch Li, who had arranged a position closest to our emperor long ago.

Lin Shen really didn't want to go. Xiao Nanzhu hadn't been here since the last time he came to the Prince's Mansion. Lin Shen suspected that Xiao Nanzhu didn't want to care about him anymore, so he thought of getting to know Xiao Nanzhu during the dinner tonight.

But Xiao Qi had already found a reason, so it was difficult for him to refuse.

So Lin Shen walked to the seat silently, bowed, and sat down.

Xuanyuan Yi, who had watched the whole thing, always felt that something was wrong. When did his Majesty become so familiar with the prince? Also, I remember there was no such position before? Strange?

He looked at his Majesty carefully and had a bold guess in his mind, but he was not sure and he needed to observe further.

The court officials present naturally saw all of this and were shocked, but they did not dare to show it.

Although Xiao Qi looks peaceful, when he was young he ascended the throne by stepping on the blood of his brothers. His methods were so ruthless and cruel that the older generation of court officials were afraid at the thought of them, and no one dared to disobey him.

The boy really has a perfect appearance for everyone, and today he is particularly handsome, simple and elegant, which makes people's eyes bright. It seems that there is nothing wrong with His Majesty liking him, after all, they like him too.

"Are you familiar with Xuanyuan Yi?" Xiao Qi suddenly asked, his eyes fixed on Lin Shen.

Lin Shen was stunned for a moment, then realized that it was Xiao Qi who was talking.

"Why does Your Majesty suddenly ask this?" Lin Shen asked back.

Xiao Qi narrowed his eyes. He had never seen anyone who not only did not answer his question but also asked him a question in return.

But if it was Lin Shen, it seemed like he felt pretty good. At least he didn't seem angry, he was even happy, and hoped that the boy could get more familiar with him.

"I saw you and Xuanyuan Yi came in together." He said casually, "Oh, by the way, I remember it was Xuanyuan Yi who picked you up in person, right?"

Lin Shen nodded and answered thoughtfully: "General Xuanyuan and I just happened to meet at the palace gate and came in together."

Lin Shen wondered why Xiao Qi asked him that.

By the way, weren't they afraid that he would collude with the general? After all, he was the prince of an enemy country. Even if the emperor had said so much to him, Lin Shen would not believe a word of it.

Lin Shen suddenly realized why and sighed that the emperor was indeed too suspicious.

"Oh, what a coincidence--" Xiao Qi turned the cup in his hand, looked at the young man with a faint smile, and there was more smile in his eyes.

Eunuch Li, who was standing nearby, smiled, feeling that his Majesty was about to sing out of joy.

He had never seen His Majesty have so many emotions in one day. Prince Xuanping was indeed not an ordinary person.

Eunuch Li wiped his sweat.

When Xiao Nanzhu and Xiao Qiyu came in, they saw that everyone was looking at Lin Shen secretly, while Lin Shen was talking to their father, and they seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation.

When they came in, they didn't attract anyone's attention.

Xiao Qi suddenly looked up with a smile in his eyes, then turned and said something to the young man.

Then he stood up, raised his glass high, and said to everyone: "Today is my birthday. I am very pleased that you, my dear ministers, can come. I wish my dynasty to be prosperous and the people to live and work in peace and contentment!"

All the ministers recovered from their shock, stood up, and shouted in unison: "Long live His Majesty!"

Xiao Qi smiled gently, "Everyone, drink as much as you can!"

As the emperor finished speaking, music started playing in the hall and the dancers began to dance.

Lin Shen seemed to be watching the dancer dance seriously, but he was actually thinking about tonight's plot.

Xiao Qi was not interested in the dance, so he turned to look at the boy. Then, he found that the boy's eyes were always on the dancer, and he frowned fiercely.

"Prince, how does this dancer dance?" Xiao Qi asked coldly.

The coldness frightened Lin Shen so much that he was pulled out of his thoughts. He looked at Xiao Qi with a puzzled look on his face.

"Very beautiful!" Lin Shen took a look at the dancers in the hall and gave an objective evaluation.

Xiao Qi smiled, "Really——"

Lin Shen always felt that something was strange, but he also felt that there was nothing wrong.

Lin Shen didn't say anything. The smile on Xiao Qi's face became gentler, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"The prince seems to be only fifteen years old?"

Lin Shen nodded sincerely, not knowing why Xiao Qi asked that.

"You probably haven't had a woman yet, right?" Xiao Qi asked casually, holding the wine cup in his hand, as if he was just asking out of boredom.

Lin Shen:!!!

Did Xiao Qi always speak so directly? Lin Shen frowned, puzzled and sad.

"Your Majesty..." Lin Shen swallowed and answered haltingly.

"Ha, I'm just joking with the prince. Don't take it seriously!" Xiao Qi looked at the confused young man in front of him with a smile in the corner of his eyes.

Lin Shen:......

ill.

Seeing that Xiao Qi really seemed to be joking, he felt relieved.

Then Lin Shen gave a fake smile, cooperating with the emperor's bad taste.

Xiao Qi looked at the young man with a fake smile on his face and coughed with a chuckle.

He is so cute, I really want to touch his head.

Xiao Nanzhu was the crown prince, so his position was naturally close to the emperor, so he naturally heard all their conversations.

He looked at his father with an unhappy look on his face, but when Xiao Qi looked over, his face was full of smiles again. He was a master of changing his face.
