Chapter 13

Mistakenly Made a Consort

Because of his hand on her chin, she has no other choice but to raise her head.  She sees him for the first time from behind the twenty drooping white jade beads on his headgear.  Just like what the Grand Tutor’s daughter said, no man can exceeds him in this world.  His kingly aura and his handsome face, when combined gives off a haughty air.

He narrows his eyes, giving off a very attractive look.  She was dazzled for a moment, couldn’t help but be drawn in by his eyes.  Her face starts reddening.  The situation is flawless but somehow perturbing too.

He looks at her while smiling slightly, dimples forming on the sides of his cheek.  This is the first time he ever smiles at her.  A smile that she will not see for a long time from now.

His smile last for only a short moment.  He leans into her, “Zhen told you, wear the hairpin.  Whoever you are, zhen will find you……”

His voice is soft, but Mu Yan who is sitting right next to her can hear him very clearly.  She bites her lips hard, her hands trembling greatly.  Xi Yan freezes after she hears him.

By then, he already release her chin and walk back to his seat, “Zhen decrees that Minister Mu’s daughter Mu Yan is to be made Princess Feng Xiang and will be married off to Ye Kingdom.”

“Mu Yan thank the emperor’s grace….”  It was extremely hard for Mu Yan to say that, she even forgot to kneel.  She can only raise her head to look at Xuan Yuan Yu’s back who is heading back to his seat.

Upon hearing her voice, Xuan Yuan Yu stop his pace and stares at Mu Yan.  Xi Yan look at the familiarity that transpire between the two people.  She takes a deep breath, at this moment, she finally understand what is happening.

The Shang Yuan Festival; a festival where the people will wear masks according to their custom.  Looks like that very custom is the reason for this big misunderstanding.

One may not know the face behind the other person’s mask, but they can still hear their voice, can they?
