C32 (1/2)

Yun Duan narrowed her eyes. She still had some doubts in her heart. Was this really fate?

”Do you think it's possible that it's man-made?”

Only Changfeng was startled. He raised his eyes and asked with a serious tone, ”Did Wang Ji discover something?”

”…”

If she did find out, she wouldn't come looking for him.

Yun Duan shook his head. ”I was just guessing!”

Perhaps this' Only Long Wind 'really didn't know anything. She was still thinking about how much he would know if he was older and more experienced.

No one in the palace told her that she could only come out and look for herself, but the result seemed to be the same.

Only Changfeng looked at Yun Duan's disappointed face and frowned slightly. ”If he is really human, it is impossible for His Majesty to not be able to find him!”

Yun Duan raised his eyes. 'So it can only be fate?'

She always felt that this shouldn't be the case, or was she overthinking it? Or did he feel that something was wrong?

The carriage stopped in front of a restaurant. Only Changfeng, who had just got off the carriage, held out his hand to help Yun Duan and Qiong Ying down.

Yun Duan raised his eyes as the snowflakes danced in the air. There were three words hanging above the restaurant's entrance — Emerald Residence.

She did not have much of a reaction to this name, and the three of them walked in.

”Dear guests, are you three? A private room or an ordinary table? ”

The shop assistant came running over, holding a rag and laughing. When he got close enough, he saw that standing behind the clouds was the only breeze. He instantly smiled like a flower and exclaimed in surprise, ”So it turns out to be the only prince! It seems the snow today is an omen! The prince has actually come to our shop!”

”…”

Yun Duan thought to herself, are all the waiters of this era so good at speaking?

”The private room is on the second floor, please, Crown Prince!” The waiter very politely led the way, with Yun Duan and the other two following behind.

The second floor was indeed an elegant room. The carved windows allowed one to see the endless snow outside. Not far away, there were a few La Plum trees proudly standing there.

The red and white lights intertwined, giving off a unique kind of beauty.

Since he had come for the roasted chicken, the first thing he wanted to do was order the roasted chicken. Only Changfeng looked at the clouds by the window and smiled as he walked over to her. ”What do you want to eat, Brother Yun?”

Yun Duan was slightly stunned, but when she reacted, she looked at Wei Chen. There was a waiter here, and she was dressed like a man as well. It was not an exaggeration to call her Brother Yun.

It was also good to hide one's identity outside.

”Apart from roast chicken, the other princes will arrange it for themselves!”

She had enough roast chicken, no more requests.

”Then why don't you show us the shop's signboard?” Only Long Wind suggested.

Yun Duan waved his hand. ”Anything will do!”

Since Yun Duan had said that she would drink a few cups, then only Long Wind asked for a pot of warm wine. The waiter quickly went to prepare it.

Qiong Ying had initially thought that she shouldn't be sitting with her master and only Crown Prince, but her master, she could only sit there quietly and fearfully.

The dishes were served quickly. First, there were two cold dishes. Although it was snowing, there was a stove in the private room. It was very warm.

Only Changfeng poured a glass of wine for Yun Yang and was about to pour some for Qiong Ying. The girl was so scared that she hurriedly stood up, waving her hands and said, ”You don't have to trouble the prince. Your servant doesn't drink!”

How could she, a mere servant girl, dare to have the crown prince pour wine? This truly frightened her to death.

Yun Duan cast a sidelong glance at Qiong Ying, who was still patting her chest, and said somewhat helplessly, ”Don't be so shocked. No one will do anything to you!”

Jean Ying bit her lip and slowly sat down again. She pushed the wine glass in front of her to the side. Forget about the wine. What if she had to take care of her master after he drank too much?

Yun Duan took the chopsticks and tasted it. It was a pig's ear. It was very clean and didn't have that unpleasant taste, so it was rather fragrant.

”Delicious!”

Only Long Wind chuckled, his eyes shining brightly.

When all the dishes were served, Yun Duan raised her wineglass at Wei Chen, her big pretty eyes were smiling, and her voice was soft, ”I haven't thanked you for helping me pick out the hidden guards. Today, I'll treat this as thanking the crown prince!”

Only Changfeng raised his eyebrows. He did not expect Yun Duan to remember this matter in his heart and even express his gratitude. He was rather flattered.

”This has always been my responsibility, so don't worry about it, third king!”

As their wine cups clink against each other, Yun Duan's lips curled up in a smile. She had always been beautiful, especially when she didn't want to laugh at all.

Only Long Wind's eyes were slightly deep as he raised his head and drank the wine.

Yun Duan also drank it up slowly and said, ”The crown prince was originally the adopted son of Prince Chong, and also grew up a few years older than me. Logically speaking, I should call you brother, instead of calling me Third King Ji from now on, just call me by my full name.”

He looked at the clouds and said with a smile, ”It is said that the three kings of the Myriad Empire Palace are cold-blooded and bloodthirsty. After not seeing each other for more than three hundred years, they left the palace upon their return.
