The ink-black eyes stared into Emperor Bei Chen's deep and vast eyes like the sea, and she realized that she couldn't truly see through Emperor Bei Chen.
The sedan suddenly fell into silence, and they exchanged glances as if trying to read each other's thoughts from their eyes.
Suddenly, Emperor Bei Chen leaned closer to Bai Li Hong Zhuang, and the distance between them, which was already close, instantly diminished!
Bai Li Hong Zhuang quickly retreated, a hint of anger appearing on her beautiful face. In that instant, her lips clearly brushed against Emperor Bei Chen's face!
"My wife, when you look at me with such deep affection, I can't help myself!"
As these words were spoken, the air seemed to become ambiguous.
Emperor Bei Chen's eyes held a smile, but Bai Li Hong Zhuang clearly saw the seriousness in his eyes for that fleeting moment.
"Shameless!"
Bai Li Hong Zhuang turned her head away, feeling inferior to this shameless guy.
Xiao Hei, who heard the word "shameless" from inside the sedan, couldn't help but let his imagination run wild. Could it be that the Young Master did something he shouldn't have done to Miss Bai Li?
"No, no, that's impossible!" Once this thought emerged, Xiao Hei slapped his own head. "I must be overthinking!"
Imperial Garden.
The beautiful and vibrant flowers bloomed enchantingly, forming a kaleidoscope of colors. The air was filled with a rich floral fragrance.
The exquisite food and wine had already been arranged, and an elegant and luxurious atmosphere permeated the entire Imperial Garden.
However, what attracted the most attention was the young and beautiful women moving through the garden.
Each young lady had clearly put effort into their appearance, wanting to present their best side to Emperor Xuan Yuan Huan today.
The court officials gathered in small groups, chatting and mingling, while the wives of the officials smiled and discussed whose hairstyle looked better.
"The Emperor has arrived! The Empress has arrived! The Crown Prince has arrived!"
A sharp and delicate voice suddenly sounded, and everyone stopped their conversations and stood respectfully.
A figure dressed in bright yellow slowly made its way through the crowd, with the Empress and Crown Prince on either side of the Emperor.
Emperor Xuan Yuan Huan wore a dragon robe, radiating an extraordinary aura in his prime. From his features, one could vaguely see his youthful handsomeness. An imposing air surrounded him, adding a touch of pressure to the Imperial Garden.
The Empress wore a crimson peony gown, exuding grace and elegance. Her already beautiful and dignified face became even more stunning.
Xuan Yuan Huan wore a light yellow robe, his black hair tied up in a high bun. His figure was outstanding, and his appearance attracted the gaze of most women present.
"Greetings, Your Majesty, Empress, and Crown Prince!" Everyone saluted one after another.
A smile appeared on Emperor Xuan Yuan Huan's face as he raised his hand. "Please rise!"
"Today is a family banquet, so everyone can enjoy themselves without restraint!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"I believe everyone knows the purpose of today's banquet," Empress Jiang Yin Ying smiled gracefully, her already beautiful face showing an air of nobility. "The Crown Prince is of age, and it is time to select a proper consort."
As these words were spoken, the eyes of the people present brightened. This was what they had been waiting for!
The young women present blushed and looked shyly at Xuan Yuan Huan, their faces filled with anticipation.
To become the Crown Prince's consort was the dream of many women!
In contrast to the joy of the other court officials, Bai Li Zhen Tao's face remained cold. The selection of the Crown Prince's consort had nothing to do with him.
"The selection banquet has begun. Why hasn't Bai Li Hong Zhuang arrived?"
