Chapter 60: Ripples in Spring Water

Taken aback, everyone immediately shifted their gaze and saw a young man standing at the door.

His eyes were as bright and clear as the full moon. The clarity and coldness in them could be seen even from afar, isolating him from the world around him, which made others had difficulty keeping their eyes open. His plain white robe was exquisite with its flowing, intricate silver embroidery.

Although it was as simple and natural as that, it had stirred admiration within everyone.

Seventh Prince, Tuoba Yu. Li Wei Yang frowned, even he came…

As Tuoba Yu entered through the doors, he looked straight at Li Wei Yang. Perhaps since the first time they met, when she had schemed against that family with a performance, he found a bit ironic, if not laughable. And up until now, he could easily recognize her among the crowd of young ladies gathered there.

Although she had changed into beautiful silk clothing, her face became cleaner and clearer, and even with her deceptive, bright smile, he could still recognize her even with a single glance. She was indeed the little girl that had intentionally let the pigs loose and then pitifully wept and lamented by the well. And moreover, she had deliberately avoided him at the tea shop.

However, looking at her now, she seemed much more beautiful than before.

After all, it was the silk clothes that made someone beautiful. Tuoba Yu’s lips slightly curved as he looked at the wide-eyed qianjin Xiaojies.

This Seventh Prince was known as the most handsome member of the Imperial family, and of course, he was also known to be rather cold and indifferent.

San Huangzi Tuoba Zhen smiled and said: “Seventh brother.”

The bright smile on Tuoba Yu’s face seemed tense: “Third brother.”

Two handsome imperial princes of the Imperial family in one place was certainly a pleasant sight to behold. Li Wei Yang smiled. Who would have thought these two were actually sworn enemies of a lifetime? Brothers in the Imperial family could not avoid the inevitable struggle for the throne. Looking back, she had once only thought for Tuoba Zhen’s sake and always regarded Tuoba Yu as her sworn enemy. Now, it seemed like this feeling had changed.

Rather than allowing Tuoba Zhen to rise to the throne as Emperor, Li Wei Yang would willingly make Tuoba Yu the ultimate victor.

Fifth Prince Tuoba Rui was evidently surprised: “Even Seventh brother has come here today too.”

Tuoba Yu’s gaze seemed to sweep over Li Wei Yang: “The Prime Minister had held a banquet for his beloved daughter, I certainly must come to celebrate.”

In truth, he had been in his imperial mother’s palace when someone happened to bring up the fact that Bixia had bestowed the title of Xianzhu to someone. That someone happened to be Li Wei Yang, a concubine’s daughter of Li Xiao Ran. The palace maids quietly gossiped about this San Xiaojie who grew up in a small village not far from Ping Cheng.

Once he heard the name, Tuoba Yu could not understand why he thought of those clear, dark eyes. He left the palace, and when he realized it, the horse carriage had already arrived at the doors of the Prime Minister’s residence.

His intuition told him the girl he saw at that tea shop must have been Li Wei Yang. He wanted to come to confirm this and ultimately confirmed his suspicions.
