Chu Yu remained silent and cold.
Zhou Yunshen turned his head to Nalan Changlin and said, "Prepare a courtyard next to Prince Rui’s for me, I shall also stay at the Marquis Residence for a few days!"
Nalan Changlin was taken aback.
Was too unbelievable.
Although it was a great honor for the Crown Prince to stay at the Marquis Residence, it was also fraught with danger.
Who could tell if the other princes might send assassins, and if the Crown Prince gets injured...
But since the Crown Prince has spoken, they couldn’t just drive him away, and had to happily leave him there.
Nalan Changlin then ordered the courtyard to be prepared and also went to inform the old Marquess.
Having the Crown Prince stay at his home was no small matter and required utmost diligence.
Zhou Yunshen noticed Chu Yu remained silent, strands of white hair appearing at his temples. Although still tall and upright, he was noticeably thinner, quite different from his once spirited and arrogant self.
He had become increasingly deep and unreadable.
Zhou Yunshen marveled at Chu Yu’s deep affection for Yun Jinnian but had no intentions to let go.
There was only one Yun Jinnian in the world, and he would not let him go.
"Prince Rui, how about a game of chess?" Zhou Yunshen suggested. Newest update provided by N()velFire.net
Chu Yu raised his brow, "I have no desire!"
He turned and retreated to his room, completely ignoring Zhou Yunshen.
Zhou Yunshen stood there, chuckling softly.
Still as gentle as jade, calm and composed.
He turned and left the courtyard, heading to the adjacent one.
Nalan Mingyi received the gift sent by Zhou Yunshen and instantly blushed.
Nalan Huanhuan’s eyes dimmed. Seeing everyone congratulating Nalan Mingyi, she also stepped forward and smiled, "Fifth sister, tell me, the Crown Prince sending a gift at this time, isn’t it suggestive?"
Nalan Mingyi exclaimed, her face reddening further.
Her heart was pounding.
The Crown Prince, gentle and elegant, was the most remarkable of all the young gentlemen she had met.
She naturally felt drawn to him.
Nalan Huanhuan observed, "Fifth sister, could it be that we guessed correctly?"
"Don’t talk nonsense, I’ve only met the Crown Prince twice!" Nalan Mingyi said, her voice growing softer.
"Sixth sister, what does the Crown Prince look like?"
"Yes, is he handsome?"
"Is he tall or short, thin or fat?"
The girls surrounded Nalan Mingyi, even the visiting ladies were both envious and jealous.
Nalan Mingyi, flustered by the questions, quietly described him.
Nalan Jinlian sat aside, nibbling on some pastries, which tasted especially good today.
She couldn’t help but eat more.
"Sixth sister, aren’t you curious?" Nalan Huanhuan sat beside Nalan Mingzhu and softly asked.
"Curious about what?" Nalan Jinlian asked.
"Oh, the Crown Prince, not really curious, there will be chances to meet in the future. Besides, the Crown Prince is now at the Marquis Residence, if the sisters are curious, they can send someone to invite him over. Then we’ll know what the Crown Prince looks like!"
Everyone fell silent.
What she said made sense, but how should he be invited?
"Then sixth sister, tell us, under what pretext would it be best to invite him?"
And more appropriately.
"That’s simple, just invite a few brothers over, and quietly let them know to ask the Crown Prince if he would like to come. If he doesn’t, there’s no harm!"
"But, men and women should maintain their distance!"
Nalan Jinlian chuckled, "With the brothers around and so many of us, there’s no talk of impropriety. Besides, today is fifth sister’s coming-of-age ceremony, and the Crown Prince sent a gift. Inviting him over for some pastries and tea wouldn’t be inappropriate!"
