Volume 1: The Initial Appearance of Beauty Chapter 8: The Flower God Festival

  The wind is clear and the moon is bright in front of the building, which can be said to be crowded with people at this time. Because there is a large open space in front of the building, the celebration of the Flower God Festival is held here, so the Clear Wind Bright Moon Building is already full of guests at this time, and many people have booked their seats several days in advance. Shen Yu was also one of them, originally intending to book it with Lin Xuanxin to watch together, but now Ruo Chen has taken advantage of it, and their private room has the best view in the entire building, directly facing the large square outside.

  Ruo Chen sat by the window, gazing at the lively scene outside, but didn't have the enthusiasm to join in. She just quietly watched. Shen Yu thought she couldn't wait any longer and softly said, "The flower float parade will be back soon, and there are many more great programs afterwards." Ruo Chen shook her head, "Not fun." In the 21st century, what spectacular program hadn't she seen? However, people in the 21st century generally lacked passion, and such an atmosphere was rarely seen.

  Shen Yu smiled and said, "Later, the flower goddess who was elected last year will throw flower balls. Does the princess want to go and grab some?"

  "So what if I get it?"

  "Whoever grabs it will be this year's flower god. Look, here comes last year's flower god." Rufei looked up and saw a colorful float with a beautiful woman in white standing on it, holding a basket of flowers and scattering petals along the way, while people along the road cheered and jumped to catch them.

  "How to grab?"

  Shen Yu said, "Later, the flower car will stop in the center of the square, and then the flower god will throw out the flower ball. The girl who catches it will be this year's flower god." Yu Fen was dazed for a while before saying, "What if the person who catches it is a man or very ugly?" If the flower god is ugly, it would be quite boring, wouldn't it?

  Shen Yu shook his head and smiled, "Those who go back to grab the flower ball are people who have a certain degree of confidence in their appearance. Besides, the Flower God doesn't distinguish between men and women, look." Ru Chen followed his pointing direction and looked over, indeed seeing that those standing in the field were all quite good-looking, with several beautiful women and a few handsome men.

  A faintly red figure flashed through the crowd, and Ruoxuan was stunned for a moment. Was that... Qinghong? Looking in the direction where Qinghong had left, Ruoxuan seemed to be lost in thought. "Princess, what's wrong?" Ruoxuan shook her head, stood up on the chair and said: "Let's go grab some too. But... how do we get in?" The area was packed with people, three layers deep inside and out. It would probably be very difficult for them to get in.

  Shen Yu smiled, downed the wine in his cup, picked up Ruo Chen and jumped out of the window. Ruo Chen grasped Shen Yu's clothes, gazing at the crowd flowing beneath their feet with a faint smile. In an instant, Shen Yu landed in the center of the scene, stepping on people's shoulders, drawing a collective gasp.

  As soon as Shen Yu landed, he attracted the admiring gaze of many women. Ruo Chen tugged at his sleeve to signal him to let go of her. Shen Yu carefully put her down on the ground and took a leisurely look around.

  "Shen Gege, you have many admirers," Yifeng said in a small voice. Shen Yu smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense." Many people present knew Shen Yu, and indeed several people came forward to greet him, all of whom Shen Yu responded to lightly. Until a stunning couple walked up to him, the man bowed his hand and laughed, saying, "Shen brother, how did you come to participate in this kind of event today?" Shen Yu smiled and said, "Yan brother, Yan miss." The man curiously looked at Yifeng, stroking his chin and saying, "Who is this little beauty? How could you bear to leave your precious cousin behind and bring this little beauty out for a stroll?"

  The beautiful woman in the light purple dress smiled and said, "Is this the Seventh Princess? I, Xiang Yu, have met the princess before." Ru Chen hid behind Shen Yu's back, poking out a small face with a shy smile, saying, "Sister Yan is good."

  "I'm not worthy of being called 'sister' by Your Highness, just calling me by my name is fine." Wo Xuan somewhat liked this straightforward and generous woman. The man's eyes widened, "You're the Seventh Princess?"

  Shen Yu led Ruo Chen and said: "Princess, these two are the beloved son and daughter of Yan Chengxiang, Shu Han, this is the Seventh Princess."

  The eunuch stepped forward and said, "I have seen the princess." In his heart, he thought: So this is Shen Yu's little fiancée. She's beautiful, but a bit timid. Thinking about it, he looked at his own sister again and couldn't help but sigh that her path was bumpy. She had been secretly in love with Shen Yu for over ten years, first there was the childhood friend, now there's this princess who was betrothed to him by the emperor. Alas...

  Ruò chén of course also saw the decline in Yǎn Shū's eyes, and then looked at Shěn Yú, a perfect match. One was both civil and martial, handsome and elegant. The other was beautiful and moving, with a dignified demeanor. In comparison, Lín Liǎn Xīn seemed somewhat insignificant, like a small jade that couldn't be displayed on the same stage. It's really unknown how Shěn Yú's eyes were grown. However, emotions are not something that can be controlled by people.

  As the dust lightly passed by, he pulled Ruoxue's hand and gave her a slight smile. Ruoxue was slightly startled but also felt his kindness and smiled back at him. Yan Shuheng watched from the side, it seemed that the little princess liked the little sister, if she could serve the princess together with her husband, it wouldn't be a loss of face for the Yan family, only didn't know about father...

  "The flower car has arrived!"

  A path is cleared through the crowd, and a flower car carrying the Flower God slowly makes its way forward. Petals fall gently in the air, landing on people's clothes. The air is filled with the faint scent of flowers.

  The float stopped in the middle, then a string of ceremonies followed. The dust was not very clear about what to do next. Roughly knew it was some kind of blessing and wishes. Then came the throwing of flower balls.

  If the dust had not been so thick, it wouldn't have been a matter of one or two points, let alone snatching it. Standing on the ground, she couldn't even see the ball. She could only be held by Shen Yu, and in this way, she was suddenly higher than everyone else. The flower goddess standing on the flower car held a ball made of various colorful flowers in her hands and threw it into the air with force, and the scene instantly became boiling. The gentle and elegant young ladies from all families were chasing after the ball.

  "Does the princess have to be snatched away?" Shen Yu asked, just to decide whether or not to really snatch her.

  Ruoyan shook his head, "The key is to participate. It doesn't matter if you can grab it or not. Even if you do grab it, it's a hassle."

  Yan Shu Ya stood beside her, not looking very enthusiastic either. On the other hand, Yan Shu Han was running around wildly, "Xiao Ya, catch it." Just then, Yan Shu Han finally intercepted the bouquet but didn't want to grab it himself, and with a slap of his hand, the bouquet flew straight towards them. Shen You shook her head and laughed, "This guy Shu Han..."

  The flower ball flew straight and fast, but the people who tried to intercept it were left with a disappointed sigh. Unexpectedly, just as the flower ball was about to reach its destination, it suddenly changed direction and hit Ruo Chen's face. Shen Yu also did not expect this to happen, and she was unable to dodge in time, letting Ruo Chen get hit squarely. Ruo Chen lifted her hand and the flower ball fell into her arms.

  Everyone was stunned, and they didn't expect the flower ball to land on a little doll. Yu Xuan, however, was hit by the flower ball and tears welled up in her eyes. But her killer instincts also allowed her to calculate the position of the force that changed the direction of the flower ball at the same time, and she raised the flower ball in her hand with all her might and smashed it back.

  Everyone was stunned again, and they saw a teary-eyed cute doll staring fiercely in a certain direction, while the flower ball was spinning in that person's hand. What's going on?

  The person holding the flower ball was a young man in white. The young man had sword-like eyebrows and an extraordinary temperament. He stared at the flower ball in his hand, lost in thought, but it was Xuan Yuan Ling, the prince of Bei Jin. People from Bei Jin became the flower god of Long Teng, this is going to be fun. Xuan Yuan Ling smiled as he held the flower ball, saying: "Since little sister doesn't like it, then let's just throw it away." He casually tossed the flower ball behind him, and the crowd began to move again, soon leaving them far behind. Shen You hugged Ruo Chen and retreated to the side, Yan Shu Ya followed, and Yan Shu Han shrugged his shoulders and also followed.

  Bei Jin's hostage Xuan Yuan Ling has met Seventh Princess before.

  "Your Highness is well."

  The other three also saw the courtesy. Xuan Yuan Ling smiled and said: "Princess, sorry about that. Did it hurt?"

  "If you don't mind him," Shen Yu said, "how did the Sixth Prince leave the palace?" Xuan Yuan Ling said, "His Majesty has already granted the Northern Jin prince's mansion outside the palace." Shen Yu frowned, not knowing what the emperor was thinking, and actually granting a separate mansion to the Northern Jin prince, wouldn't it be more convenient to do so within the palace?

  Yan Shu smiled and said: "Since no one can become the flower god, let's find a place to sit and chat." Shen Yu nodded, "Sixth prince, please."

  "General Shen, please."

  Back in the elegant room of Qingfeng Mingyue Building, Qin Shuyan was already waiting at the door.

  "Huh? You're back so soon? Is everything done?"

  Qin Shuyan said, "It's all done, Princess." With more people around, Yu Fen couldn't care less what Qin Shuyan was doing and just told him to do as he pleased. Looking out the window, the flower god had already been chosen - a fairly decent-looking young woman with no outstanding features.

  "Is the princess still angry?" Xuan Yuan Ling asked.

  For some reason, Yu Chen always had a few points of guard against him, shook his head and didn't answer, just pulled Xian Shu Ya to play, listening to their conversation sentence by sentence.

  "Older brother, are you really here?"

  A faintly resentful voice came from the doorway. Everyone looked up to see Lin Xian standing at the door, accompanied by two maidservants, looking frail and pitiful. Shen You put down his wine cup, "Xian, how did you come here?"

  Lin Xianxin entered with the help of her maid, and upon seeing Yan Shuya sitting beside Ruo Chen, her expression turned even more unsightly. She said in a low tone, "Can't I come?"

  "Not just...” Poor Shen Yu, a great general who protected the country, was tongue-tied for a moment, unable to speak. Finally, Shen Yu sighed and personally supported Lin Xianxin over, saying: "How could that be? Don't think too much." Yan Shu Huan had always looked down on Lin Xianxin, who had snatched men from her own sister, and sneered: "Miss doesn't even need to pay respects to people she looks down on, let alone the princess?"

  "Good book!"

  Lin Xian's heart was filled with grievance as she bit her cherry lips, "It's Lin Xian who is being rude, please forgive me, Princess." Ruo Chen leaned on Yan Shu's knee and smiled, "Sister Lin doesn't have to be so polite, Shen Ge will get angry." Speaking of which, this Lin Xian had never initiated a greeting towards her before.

  It seems a bit boring at first, this article is slow to heat up, and it won't get exciting until about the second half of the first volume. The second volume is better. Hehe.
