Quick Transmigration: My Host's Darling Little Darling

The princes, princesses, and ministers arrived one after another.

Before long, the emperor arrived, followed by the empress and Consort Xian.

Upon seeing Consort Xian arrive, Xiao Xu rushed into her arms.

This banquet was held under the pretext of Consort Xian's birthday, so Consort Xian also attended.

The emperor and Empress Zhang had a deep affection for each other, so he was very tolerant and loving towards the two sons she left behind.

The emperor held Xiao Xu in his arms and sat on the dragon throne, and the banquet officially began.

At the banquet, General Zhang was first praised and given many fine gifts. Then, Consort Xian's birthday was mentioned, followed by a song and dance performance.

But what attracts the most attention is the interaction between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess.

Unlike most of the men present, Sheng Yuan didn't appreciate the singing and dancing beauties; instead, he focused on feeding Yu Zhixi.

Rumors spread from the Eastern Palace that the Crown Prince now dotes on the Crown Princess. No one believed it. Even if it were true, no one expected that the Crown Prince would personally serve the Crown Princess meals, and the Crown Princess seemed to have gotten used to it.

Yu Zhixi couldn't see, but he loved the music. He kept tugging at Sheng Yuan's sleeve. Sheng Yuan noticed and reached out to grasp his slender, fair hand, their fingers intertwined.

His warm palms held his, and Yu Zhixi felt that the hand warmer was even warmer than before.

Yu Zhixi sat with an extremely upright posture, while Sheng Yuan sat slightly to the side of Yu Zhixi, giving the impression that he was protecting Yu Zhixi in his arms. Occasionally, he would lean over and whisper to Yu Zhixi, while their attention was focused on the dishes in the imperial kitchen.

The food in the Imperial Study was indeed excellent. After removing the fish bones, Sheng Yuan handed a piece of snow-white fish meat to Yu Zhixi.

If they were eating alone, Sheng Yuan would feed Yu Zhixi directly, but with so many people around, Sheng Yuan knew Yu Zhixi was shy, so he put it in his spoon.

Yu Zhixi's movements were slow but elegant; if he weren't using a spoon, no one would believe he had an eye condition.

Amidst the clinking of glasses, the banquet reached its climax.

Many noble ladies prepared their talents for this banquet, and with the emperor's permission, they presented their performances.

For them, this opportunity was undoubtedly a chance to secure a good future. If they could enter the Eastern Palace or the Prince's residence, it would be a success for them.

But Sheng Yuan's attention wasn't on that at all. Several women below were flirting with him, but Sheng Yuan was completely unaware. He felt a little bored and wanted to take his wife home.

With the Crown Prince's approach failing, many women began to look towards the Fifth Prince, Xiao Hong.

The beautiful woman was blatantly seducing him, and Xiao Hong was extremely pleased, constantly marveling at his own charm.

Upon seeing Song Shiyuan, Xiao Hong was immediately captivated by her beauty. So, as soon as Song Shiyuan finished her dance, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Clouds remind me of her clothes, flowers of her face; the spring breeze caresses the balustrade, the dew is heavy. Miss Song's singing and dancing are truly exceptional!"

This is an excellent poem.

Song Shi blushed when she was praised.

Those present were all well-versed in literature and, upon hearing the poem, nodded repeatedly, marveling at the Fifth Prince's remarkable literary talent since regaining his senses, noting that he could write such a fine poem. The Emperor was also very pleased with him.

Only Yu Zhixi shook Sheng Yuan's hand.

"What's wrong?" Sheng Yuan leaned forward and asked gently.

Seeing Yu Zhixi and the others' actions, Xiao Hong felt they were spoiling the fun and interrupting his enjoyment. He said with great dissatisfaction, "It seems the Crown Princess doesn't quite agree. Well, the Crown Princess has an eye ailment and can't see Miss Song's singing and dancing, so naturally she doesn't understand such beauty. If the Crown Princess has anything to say, she might as well say it. Appreciation also requires communication."

Yu Zhixi originally only wanted to talk about this poem with Sheng Yuan, but since this person said this about him and Nuonuo even said that he wanted to put people in Sheng Yuan's shoes, then he wouldn't be polite.

You're the one who made me say it!

I told you, so please don't get angry!

"Although I have an eye ailment, I am not deaf." Yu Zhixi's voice was gentle, like a clear spring in the mountains.

"'Clouds remind me of her clothes, flowers of her face; the spring breeze caresses the balustrade, the dew is heavy. If not seen atop Mount Qunyu, she would be met beneath the moon on the Jade Terrace.' This talented man named Li Bai was truly exceptional; many of his poems were admired by the court, but..." Yu Zhixi deliberately paused here: "...but the girl described in this poem had a tragic fate, and her ending was rather pitiful..."

Yu Zhixi's words instantly made the atmosphere awkward.

This poem wasn't written by the Fifth Prince at all, and the girl described in the poem had a tragic ending. The Song family's expression turned sour, and Song Shiyuan's initial slight attraction vanished.

After not hearing a sound, Yu Zhixi innocently shook Sheng Yuan's hand and said, "Your Highness, did I say something wrong?"

Sheng Yuan knew exactly what his wife was up to, so he comforted her, "No, that Miss Yang was controlled by others her whole life and was forced to commit suicide in the end. She was a tragic figure."

Originally, this poem was not wrong to praise beauty, nor was it necessary to mention the girl's background and fate. However, since it has been brought up, it is hard to ignore.

A word of praise has now been turned into a curse.

In fact, Xiao Hong had the opportunity to refute them. Since there was no Li Bai in this world, he could have easily said that Sheng Yuan and the others were talking nonsense, as long as he was thick-skinned enough.

However, Nuonuo glanced at Xiao Hong, whose face had turned pale.

The male protagonist in this world isn't mentally strong enough.

Nuonuo couldn't help but sigh.

Many people initially didn't believe the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, but upon seeing the Fifth Prince's pale face, they all believed them.

At this moment, the emperor frowned, and his expression was not good.

"Che'er, who is this Li Bai that the Crown Princess just mentioned?" The Emperor was indeed the Emperor, thinking that it would be a good thing if such a talented man could be put to his own use.

"Your subject is unaware. I acquired a collection of poems a few days ago, and thinking that the Crown Princess might be feeling down while recovering from her injuries, I decided to share it with her to cheer her up. The collection also contains poems by many talented scholars, but they are no longer with us. It was mentioned that this was done to prevent these poems from being lost," Sheng Yuan explained.

The emperor felt sorry for it, but since he couldn't have it and no one else could either, his regret was somewhat lessened.

"Bring this collection of poems to me when you have time," the emperor said.

Sheng Yuan responded, but Nuonuo suffered the consequences. It had to compile a collection of poems, after all, some taboo things had to be removed.

Arriving at the banquet, not only could I only look at the delicious food but also couldn't eat it, which was bad enough, but I also had to find myself a job to do. It was truly a nightmare.

Having embarrassed Xiao Hong, Yu Zhixi had achieved his goal; now he could continue to leisurely enjoy his food.

The Empress Dowager originally wanted to matchmake her son with Song Shiyuan, but given the current situation, it seems unlikely. She can only wait until this matter has passed before making any further plans.

"My fifth brother just said that my Crown Princess has an eye ailment. I didn't expect him to be so concerned about this matter. However, I have already found a miracle doctor who specializes in treating eye ailments. Before long, my Crown Princess will be able to see again." Sheng Yuan said this to refute Xiao Hong's words and to pave the way for Yu Zhixi's eye ailment to be cured.

Xiao Hong was completely refuted and could only look angrily at Sheng Yuan.

The emperor ignored Xiao Hong and said, "Oh? Such a divine physician, I would like to meet him."

"This divine physician has a strange temperament and dislikes seeing people. I can't find him anywhere right now, but we have arranged a time for him to come and treat the Crown Princess in a few days."

In short, it means don't ask me, I don't know.

Seeing that he said this, the emperor had no choice but to give up.

The banquet continued, and after the emperor left because he found it boring, Sheng Yuan also left with Yu Zhixi.

Xiao Hong not only lost face, but his original plan could not be implemented.

Sheng Yuan never left Yu Zhixi's side, and the wine that was originally drugged ended up in his own hand by some strange twist of fate.

What happens next is no longer any concern for Sheng Yuanyu Zhixi, who has already returned to the Eastern Palace.
