”Fourth Prince... Here comes Fourth Prince...”The girls' loud cheers rang again. Murong Xue raised her head and saw Ye Tianqi who wore a violet robe and a tourmaline-inlaid belt around his waist, looking handsome, debonair and noble. The faint smile on his face was like a breath of fresh air making people feel refreshed.

”This prince is a good catch. But he was born in the royal family. So, girls should think twice before they decide to pursue him...” Yuan Fangfei remarked in a low voice, as she shook her head and sighed.

Murong Xue raised her eyebrows, and was about to speak when a joyful female voice rang out, ”Prince Jing... Prince Jing is coming... Prince Ouyang... Prince Ouyang is coming too...”

Murong Xue looked up to see Ye Yichen and Ouyang Shaochen coming closer. They were both handsome, tall and elegant. All the young ladies around were enchanted by their graceful bearing with hearts beating widely. The girls were standing or sitting about in small groups, talking excitedly...

”Murong Xue, these girls are all crazy about your boyfriend. You should be careful...” Yuan Fangfei warned Murong Xue with a smile, a trace of dark pleasure flashing through her eyes. 'It seems not a good thing to have an outstanding boyfriend...' she thought.

Murong Xue glanced at her and said lightly, ”He's not my boyfriend. Actually, we are just good friends.”

”Ah?” Yuan Fangfei was dazed for a second, then looked at Murong Xue with her eyebrows raised questioningly. ”Are you kidding? You and Ouyang Shaochen rode in the same horse-carriage on the way here. Aren't you two lovers?”

Murong Xue frowned. ”Only lovers can take the same carriage?”

”Not exactly...” Yuan Fangfei shook her head. In her view, Ouyang Shaochen and Murong Xue were more than friends...

”Here comes His Majesty and Her Empress!” A shrill voice specially belonging to the eunuch rang. The noisy square quietened down at once. All the officials and their family members went down on their knees and kowtowed respectfully. ”Long live Your Majesty. Long live Your Empress…”

The Emperor in a bright yellow dragon robe walked slowly to the center of the high platform and smiled, ”Rise!”

”Thank you, Your Majesty!” The officials and their family members got up and took their seats.
