Xiao Tianyao has always known that Lin Chujiu was beautiful. Although he doesn’t have a great sense about the beauty or ugliness of a woman, he knew that Lin Chujiu’s appearance was one among the best. But… …
He doesn’t know that his w.a.n.gfei has this stunning side!
Graceful, magnanimity, obviously young, but she doesn’t have an impetuous atmosphere. She was calm and steady, unlike her actual age.
At first, he chooses a golden dress for Lin Chujiu because the gold color represents luxury and honor. Additionally, only the royal family can wear it. She will not be kept in the dark if she stood beside him. But, he doesn’t know that it will give her a stunning effect once she wears it.
However, Xiao Tianyao’s self-control has always been good, he only looked at her once and then swept away his eyes. He only helped her to get inside the carriage.
Lin Chujiu didn’t fail to see the amazement in Xiao Tianyao’s eyes. So, she slightly smiled and raised her hand, then put it gently on his palm.
With Xiao Tianyao’s help, Lin Chujiu get inside the carriage with beautiful manner. But even before she went inside the carriage, Lin Chujiu gave Xiao Tianyao another smile. With this, Xiao Tianyao’s cold face soften a bit.
The carriage was still very s.p.a.cious like before. Lin Chujiu sat down in the middle of the left side and left the right position to Xiao Tianyao. Unfortunately, Xiao Tianyao didn’t appreciate it. After he got into the carriage, he sat down next to Lin Chujiu, which made Lin Chujiu very surprised.
With Xiao Tianyao’s pride, he took the initiate to stick close to people?
Lin Chujiu was sitting in the middle, there was not enough s.p.a.ce for another person. So, the two were sitting very close together. Lin Chujiu slightly frowned her eyebrows and said: “w.a.n.gye, your sitting on my dress.”
The silk clothes were good but very delicate. It will leave a mark once it was folded with pressure.
“Mmm.” Xiao Tianyao replied but didn’t actually understand Lin Chujiu’s meaning. Lin Chujiu, who have no other choice, move to the side. They haven’t arrived in the palace, so their dress must be presentable.
The two were separated by half, Xiao Tianyao didn’t move, but stretched out his arm to hold Lin Chujiu’s hand. Looking back, Lin Chujiu saw Xiao Tianyao closed his eyes.
Is he escaping?
Lin Chujiu secretly chuckled and deliberately didn’t pulled out her hand.

Member of the royal family and other n.o.bles have personal pa.s.sageway in the palace. So, Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao don’t need to squeeze themselves with the officials. Their carriage directly drove inside the palace. A little eunuch busily guides them to stop to the right position.
“w.a.n.gye, w.a.n.gfei, we arrived.” Xiao w.a.n.gfu’s guard stepped forward and respectfully announced for the two people to get off the carriage.
When the little eunuch, who was guiding them heard the announcement, he was scared to death: What? Did I hear it wrong? Xiao w.a.n.gye was also inside the carriage?
Xiao w.a.n.gye doesn’t like riding a carriage, he always rides a horse, so how come he went to the palace riding a carriage?
The little eunuch stared at the carriage until he saw Xiao Tianyao who was wearing a scarlet robe. But, as soon as he saw Xiao Tianyao, his legs soften and he fell on the ground.
Xiao Tianyao didn’t bother to look at the little eunuch, he just stood next to the carriage and waited for Lin Chujiu. Lin Chujiu didn’t think there was something wrong, so she let herself be helped by Xiao Tianyao.
However, to the four maidservants, who was about to step forward. Their eyes widen in disbelief: w.a.n.gye, are you trying to rob our job?
The four maidservants were depressed, but they didn’t dare to go forward. They just stood to the same place and wait for Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu to walked forward. They’ll just follow up close.
At this time, no matter what rank of the officials was, they had already sat in their respective place. And aside from the guests, the emperor, and the empress, only Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu haven’t arrived.
Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu haven’t stepped into the banquet hall when the eunuch loudly announced: “Xiao w.a.n.gye and Xiao w.a.n.gfei arrives!”
Xiao Tianyao didn’t even bat an eye, he only walked forward while holding Lin Chujiu’s hand. According to the rules, it was extremely unruly to walk together hand in hand in such occasion. However, who was Xiao Tianyao?
He was a n.o.ble prince in the East Country. He was a man above a hundred thousand people. Although he doesn’t ignore etiquette, it has nothing to do with him. Binding him with etiquette rules were simply people’s delusion.
His woman, if he was willing to walk side by side with her, who are these people stop him?
Lin Chujiu wanted to follow the rules in the palace. But, Xiao Tianyao was tightly gripping her hand. She cannot pull it out.
Of course, Lin Chujiu doesn’t deny the fact that she was a bit excited in her heart this time. After all, it shows that she was not a woman, who can only stand behind Xiao Tianyao, but a woman, who can walk forward with him, hand in hand.
In this era, there was almost no woman who can walk side by side with her husband. Even the most honorable woman in the world, the empress, cannot get such honor.

As Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu walked in, the officials sitting on both sides gave them a greeting.
“Long Live Xiao w.a.n.gye and Xiao w.a.n.gfei, may you live for a thousand more years.” Even after the greeting, Xiao Tianyao stayed indifferent, he only pulled Lin Chujiu and walked forward.
Scarlet and gold were a conspicuous color. When they came inside, they caught everyone’s eyes… …
The seating arrangement in the banquet hall was according to ident.i.ty. The Emperor was sitting in the middle, while on the left and the right were n.o.bles and officials. The closer a person sits to the emperor, the higher the ident.i.ty.
The lowest official position, who attended the banquet today and almost sitting near the door, was rank 3 officials. Some of these officials were well-informed about Lin Chujiu’s reputation before. So, when they saw her wearing a golden dress, walking gracefully and steady, they were all dumbfounded: Is this Prime Minister Lin’s eldest daughter?
Isn’t Prime Minister Lin’s eldest daughter proud and arrogant?
A proud and arrogant lady can walk side by side with Xiao w.a.n.gye?
A proud and arrogant woman, can s.h.i.+ne like this next to Xiao w.a.n.gye?
This… simply doesn’t match with the rumors!
A group of low-rank officials looked at the other officials and asked some things, but they found out that none of them know the answer… …
However, to the people with n.o.ble ident.i.ties, they knew very well that Lin Chujiu was very different to those rumors. They also know that Xiao w.a.n.gye put great importance to this w.a.n.gfei of him. So seeing Lin Chujiu looking elegant was not a surprise for them.
Xiao w.a.n.gye’s vision was of a different caliber, it was known to everyone. He didn’t even hesitate in rejecting the number one beauty in the east. Such evaluation was simply like a strand of straw in his eyes.
So how can this woman who entered Xiao w.a.n.gye’s eyes be ordinary? It will really be strange if Lin Chujiu has no great talents.
The n.o.bles were not surprised by Lin Chujiu’s stunning appearance. What made them surprised was Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao were holding hands.
On this occasion, they walked hand in hand, what does Xiao w.a.n.gye mean?
