The princess only wants to survive, and the cold-faced king of hell begs for mercy

Qinghuan beside her was carefully combing her cloud-like hair and carefully tying it into an exquisite bun.

Since this banquet was an all-women's gathering, according to etiquette, it was inconvenient for Zhao Qiyan, as a man, to attend.

Therefore, this time Yun Shang had to go alone to the banquet full of unknowns and dangers.

At this moment, Zhao Qiyan was lazily lying on the small couch beside him, his eyes never leaving Yun Shang's busy figure.

He quietly admired every subtle movement of the beauty in front of him as she was dressing, his eyes full of concern and reluctance.

Qinghuan carefully took out a set of ruby ​​headpieces from an exquisite brocade box. The rubies sparkled with dazzling light, as if they could illuminate the entire room.

She was about to put on the gorgeous ornaments with great joy, but at this moment, Zhao Qiyan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Change to something else. It's better to be low-key today."

His voice was low and firm, with an unquestionable tone.

Yun Shang, standing nearby, nodded slightly in agreement. "Today's banquet might be like a Hongmen Feast. We should be extra careful. Dress lightly and simply. If anything unexpected happens, it will be easier to move around, and I can avoid any danger in time."

As she spoke, she glanced thoughtfully at the ruby ​​headpiece, a hint of regret flashed across her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

Qinghuan stood in front of the exquisite jewelry box, her eyes moving back and forth among the dazzling array of ornaments, carefully selecting them.

She picked up one to look at it, then put that down and looked at it, as if each one made it difficult for her to make a decision.

Finally, after careful consideration, her hand stopped at a blue floral headdress. This headdress was finely crafted, embroidered with small and delicate floral patterns, fresh and elegant.

Qinghuan took it out gently and put it on Yunshang's head carefully.

She didn't put all the hair accessories in, but only added a few here and there to brighten up the whole hairstyle just right.

However, among the many small accessories, the most eye-catching one is the gorgeous main crown in the middle. It stands tall and emits dazzling light, as if symbolizing the noble status of its owner.

Zhao Qiyan was sitting on a small couch beside him, holding a thick geography book in his hand.

He flipped the pages of the book carelessly, but his eyes would occasionally drift towards Yun Shang who was dressing up.

Seeing Yun Shang about to pack up and prepare to leave, Zhao Qiyan put down the scroll in his hands, stood up, walked over to Yun Shang, and gently instructed her, "When you enter the palace today, you must be careful and cautious in everything you do. If you really encounter any unexpected situation on the way, don't panic. Just rest assured, I will bear all the consequences for you."

After saying this, he frowned slightly and continued with a serious expression, "Although Concubine Yue is now deeply favored by the emperor, she is ultimately just a concubine. In terms of status, as the princess, you naturally surpass her. Unless it is in accordance with the emperor's will, I don't think she would dare to do anything to you easily."

Zhao Qiyan turned to look at Qinghuan, who was standing respectfully beside him, and solemnly instructed: "This time when you enter the palace, you must serve the princess well and always pay attention to the movements around you. You must protect the princess's safety. No matter what happens, you must not leave her side without permission!"

Hearing this, Qing Huan quickly squatted down and saluted, and replied: "Yes, this servant will remember it, please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

After repeated reminders, Zhao Qiyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He walked to the door himself, took Yun Shang's arm and slowly walked out of the room. The sunlight shone on them, reflecting the figures of the two people leaning on each other.

As soon as I stepped out of the bedroom, I saw Yu Ruyi coming in dressed up. She had exquisite makeup and gorgeous clothes, and she walked towards me as gracefully as a blooming flower.

From a distance, the pearl and jade jewelry she wore sparkled brightly under the sunlight, which was eye-catching.

When they got closer, Yu Ruyi opened her red lips and said softly, "Princess, I am ready. May I ride in the same carriage with you?"

Yun Shang smiled slightly, nodded her head and replied, "Of course."

After saying that, Yu Ruyi immediately turned around and cast her gaze at Lin Zhiyi, who was following closely behind her and had remained silent.

At this moment, Lin Zhiyi was still the same as usual, wearing a simple and elegant white dress, and her whole body exuded a kind of cold and aloof aura, like a white lotus isolated from the world.

Yu Ru noticed this and said in a soft voice, "Alas, sister, the princess' carriage is very limited. I'm afraid it can only accommodate the two of us. So, you'll have to make do with it and take another carriage."

However, facing this statement, Lin Zhiyi seemed unconcerned. She turned around calmly, walked slowly towards the gate, and casually responded, "It doesn't matter to me, it doesn't matter which car I take."

Ever since Yun Shang and Yu Ruyi opened their hearts to each other and treated each other honestly, their relationship has become increasingly close, as good as sisters.

Seeing Lin Zhiyi leave first, Yu Ruyi's face instantly blossomed into a brilliant smile. Then she took a step forward happily, stretched out her slender jade hand, and affectionately took Yun Shang's arm, saying happily: "Princess, let's set off quickly!"

"Don't worry, I'm here today and I'll definitely protect you well."

Zhao Qiyan shook his head helplessly. Three women were making a scene. It was so noisy and noisy. He should not get involved.

So he turned around quietly and tiptoed back to the bedroom like a cat.

On this side, the sharp-eyed Yun Shang caught a glimpse of Zhao Qiyan's slightly embarrassed figure, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Meanwhile, Yu Ruyi, standing by, first glanced at Zhao Qiyan as he left, then at Yun Shang, who was beaming with joy. She then shrugged and said in a remarkably relaxed tone, "Oh my, look at the relationship you two share. It's truly enviable! But once this important matter is settled, I'm going to leave the palace in style! I also want to find a handsome lover like you guys to keep me company!"

At this point, her gaze suddenly drifted off into the distance, as if she had remembered something. She muttered to herself, "Hmm... Speaking of handsome guys, Qi Chuan seems pretty good-looking. I wonder if I have the charm to win him over in one fell swoop?"
