The footsteps of late autumn are getting faster and faster, and in a blink of an eye, the streets of the imperial capital have all been covered with gold. In this increasingly bleak season, everyone's eyes are bright, as if they are eagerly looking forward to something from the deepest part of their hearts.

Since noon on Sunday, reporters from various TV channels have frantically surrounded the media reception area at the entrance of the palace, each with microphones in their hands and camera equipment on their shoulders, afraid of missing any shots.

The long-awaited royal masquerade in the imperial capital finally kicked off today!

The palace, which has never been open to the public, is open to the public on this day, and all guests holding invitations can pass through unimpeded.

"Dear viewers, now we are broadcasting you the scene at the entrance of the palace. As you can see, compared to the state visit, except for the absence of an honor guard, all other preparations tonight are of the highest standard, and behind me is the royal salute. , it is expected that tonight will be played 36 times during the opening dance." The female anchor of the official TV station of the imperial capital pointed to the red carpet behind her with excitement, and she couldn't hide her longing.

Everything in the camera immediately followed the steps of the palace and played the distant view all the way. The royal guards were ready to go early, with a straight body and a Sheshier machete, which symbolized the glory of the royal family. The royal flag fluttering in the wind becomes more and more cold and solemn in the autumn colors.

Leng Yiyao glanced at random, then turned off the TV.

ALEX, who was beside him, seemed to be obsessed, instructing the stylist and other people to circle around her.

It has been nearly two hours since lunch. Leng Yiyao didn't know why this group of people had such a high level of passion that it took so long. In order to prevent the dress skirt from wrinkling when sitting down, ALEX asked her to change into a silk nightgown early, skin care, makeup, hair, styling, everyone has a job at hand, but she is the most boring as the main character.

When he finally put on his evening dress, most of the rays of the sky were already exposed, reflecting the golden yellow on the ground, as if he had stepped into a golden country all at once.

She put on her high heels and stood up slowly. At this moment, the entire studio fell silent. Even if he created the grand occasion with his own hands, ALEX was so amazed that he couldn't speak.

However, Leng Yiyao didn't seem to pay attention to the reactions of others. She didn't even look at the mirror. She turned around and waved her hand at will. In an instant, the delicate and small platinum mask was respectfully handed to her. She lowered her eyebrows, looked at the "mask" in front of her, and smiled lightly.

Everyone in this world has multiple faces. No one is ever the same, and no one is ever the same.

Since she was born, she has had too many faces, thousands of people, but it is not as good as her turning around and smiling.

When the platinum mask was buckled on her face, everyone else in the room took a deep breath and watched the slender and beautiful figure, walking away gracefully...

Zhai Mu drove a very low-key luxury car today and waited downstairs early in the morning. It was almost dinner time, he glanced at his watch, took out the sandwich from the side, took a bite, and just unscrewed the mineral water, but unfortunately, before he could take a sip, he was stunned by the figure walking slowly in front of him. .

"Cough-cough-cough" He turned his head sideways, choked and coughed again and again, and faint veins appeared on his neck, and he couldn't drink any more water.

Leng Yiyao glanced at the license plate, and had to say that Zhai Mu was very careful in his work. Although today's car is very valuable, the license plate number has no special features, making it impossible for people to guess the way.

He coughed so much that even his internal organs were about to shift, and the whole person sat in the driver's seat, and his eyes became more and more dark.

She wasn't in a hurry, as if she wasn't too surprised by other people's reactions, she tapped the seat with her fingertips and waited patiently for him to recover. It wasn't until the coughing sound became calmer that she slowly raised her head and said indifferently, "Are you coughing?" She leaned on her back and chose a lying position that would not affect the hem of her skirt, such as Begonia sleeping in spring, full of fragrance.

Zhai Mu unscrewed the cap of the bottle and finally took a sip of water. The cold temperature made him finally calm down. "Sorry, I couldn't hold back for a while."

Can't hold back?

Leng Yiyao chuckled lightly and didn't mention much. "Let's drive."

A flash of light flashed in Zhai Mu's eyes, and without hesitation, the car was like an arrow from the string and quickly drove towards the palace - tonight, the imperial capital is not destined to be calm.

When Leng Yiyao arrived at the venue, there were already many luxury cars lining up to enter the main entrance.

The red carpet was spread from the entrance of the palace to a thousand meters away. Many onlookers stood on the tuyere. Even if the night was about to fall, the cold temperature would not dampen their enthusiasm. The giant high-definition screen was erected high on the square, showing all the scenes in the banquet scene one by one.

Is it live broadcast?

Leng Yiyao glanced at the screen and raised an eyebrow meaningfully. The royal family clearly took great pains this time.

The speed of the car has been very slow, and the flashing lights in front are one after another. Obviously, there is still a long time before they are lined up. Leng Yiyao was about to close his eyes when suddenly, the phone beside him rang.

"It's almost there?" Lu Chen's slightly smiling voice echoed in the back seat, Leng Yiyao estimated the distance: "There are still 20 minutes to the entrance of the banquet hall."

"I'll wait for you at the door." As the well-deserved host of tonight's banquet, he has been so busy since the morning that he didn't even have a chance to catch his breath, but he was always thinking about one person in his heart, thinking that she appeared time, what will it be like. In the middle of the night, I don't seem to remember the first time I saw her, only those eyes, the moment when the gas station exploded, was radiant and thrilling, and she couldn't stop from now on.

When Lu Chen's head guard heard his words, he naturally understood to whom the call was addressed. Looking around, tonight, all the noble ladies of the imperial capital gathered together to compete for beauty, but before they even started, they all lost.

Think about it, people are indeed born equal.

He sighed softly and dutifully blocked the woman who was trying so hard to get closer to Lu Chen: "I'm sorry, Your Highness is on the phone, and the banquet is about to start. Why don't you come to see His Highness later?"

The woman in front of her, with a slender figure and an attractive appearance, saw Lu Chen kept her head sideways, and spoke warmly there, which was completely different from the arrogant and domineering personality in rumors. The key is that he was wearing a white dress today, with a black tie buckled around his neck, exuding a noble aura. It's so different from what it looked like on TV a year ago.

Who said that when a man begins to transform, his soul will suddenly mature. Today, His Royal Highness Lu Chen, standing in front of the people, who would go to the deceased Second Highness Lu Ming.

Not to mention, all the arrangements for this banquet tonight were made by him. With such a temperament and resourcefulness, since his appearance tonight, he has caused a commotion from the crowd. In a short period of time, he seems to have suddenly become another person. Even if he is the first heir to the royal family, and he has grown so well so quickly, how can the people who respect the royal family prefer others to inherit the throne?

The woman kicked the skirt angrily, not daring to offend Lu Chen's head guard, smiled charmingly, turned around and walked to the banquet hall.

"Follow me to pick her up." The phone had been hung up, and it was still twenty minutes before Leng Yiyao's words, but Lu Chen found that he didn't want to wait for a moment. The towering steps walked towards the entrance of the red carpet.

At this moment, the moonlight has swept across the sky, the stars are densely covered, and the bright lights are in sharp contrast with the dark night. He leaned forward step by step from a height, his white tuxedo swayed gently in the breeze, the smile on his face was pure and clean, with undisguised expectations.

"Who wants to come here? Such a big show?" The eldest princess stood in the corridor of the palace, holding up the gold wire telescope, and smiled dumbly. Long time no see, her brother is getting more and more absurd. It was clearly a feast for choosing a concubine. Before it officially started, he was about to open the peak page directly?

The Chief Guard Lu gave a gentle smile and glanced in the direction the eldest princess was looking, "It's probably Miss Leng."

Miss Leng?

The eldest princess paused for a moment, then remembered the person who had been on the news headlines recently, and couldn't help but smile: "Now, the times have really changed, and women can even have the right of inheritance." She is the first emperor of the emperor. One daughter, and the oldest one, although Lu Chen was the eldest son, he was fifteen years behind her. When the two get along, she is more like an older elder than a sister.

Guard Lu just smiled and didn't say much. Even if the princess' life is superior and the environment is more comfortable, so what? After all, it has been far away from the center of royal power. In the heart of the real power and magic, they are nothing more than wealthy and idle people.

How shrewd the eldest princess is, the silent response to her father's first trusted confidant was already the most silent answer. Without the emperor's favor, in the eyes of the emperor's chief bodyguard, she is an eldest princess, and how noble can she be.

For a time, the two of them did not show the slightest on their faces, their hearts were surging, and their eyes were deep.

At the same time, Lu Chen stood on the steps of the first section and watched one after another of luxury cars approaching. The moment those attractive women wearing masks, their eyes fell on him, suddenly lit up, like He was so excited that he couldn't help himself, but he took a step away and put on the most estranged gesture: "Please come inside."

Even one more look is stingy, and he is unmoved by the rich lady in front of him.

This scene was broadcast live on the big screen by the camera next to it, and everyone couldn't help but relish: "His Royal Highness is so arrogant, standing in the wind, shouldn't he be waiting for someone?"

But, after watching it for so long, no one could make him show the slightest difference. What happened?

Just when the public was hotly discussing, suddenly, a limited-class luxury car slowly drove towards the center of the red carpet.

Lu Chen subconsciously looked at the driver's seat, and when he saw Zhai Mu's figure, his eyes lit up.

Leng Yiyao just sat up straight, and before she could reach out her hand, the car door was suddenly pulled open. At that moment, the flashing lights came and went one after another, as if it were daytime!

She paused for a moment, looked up, and saw that Lu Chen had bowed, stretched out his right hand, and smiled.

When he bowed his head and saw the light in the car, his eyes flashed like meteors, and the corners of his lips raised. At this moment, his eyes were sincere and his heart was convinced: "Can you have this honor, please come with me?"

Leng Yiyao looked up at him, a noble prince, elegant to the point of death. In just one month, his growth rate far exceeded everyone's expectations.

He stretched out his right hand, placed it lightly on his palm, stepped out slowly, and finally, exposed it in front of everyone!

The eye-catching rose-colored long dress outlines her ice machine snow skin like a snow country girl, full of aura, as if transformed from a fairy, and like the rain and dew under the rising sun, instantly grabbing people heart and soul.

That waist, with Yingying's grasp, is like buds that are about to bloom, overlapping and shining like clouds.

She raised her head, as if noticing the camera, smiled lightly, and in her lingering moments, those red lips were delicate and fragrant, like the petals of a begonia, with a blush in the pink, soft and charming, with a touch of sweetness, like a beautiful rouge.

All the people looking at the giant electronic screen suddenly gasped, "Who is this person?"

At this moment, the emperor standing on the highest observation deck of the palace, with the help of the imperial doctor beside him, slowly drank a cup of dark soup. After a long time, he suppressed the cough in his throat and slowly glanced into the distance.

There is a lot of noise and excitement over there, I am afraid that Leng Yiyao has arrived!

"Be careful with your feet." Seeing Leng Yiyao greeting the media with a calm expression, Lu Chen didn't stop, leading her step by step towards the entrance of the palace banquet hall.

There are a total of 120 steps in this piece of stairs, which symbolizes that the royal family had gone through 120 years of turmoil before they completely unified the north and the south. In order to inherit the tradition, even if modernization has penetrated into daily life, the entrance to the palace is always only this one, and there are no other shortcuts.

Leng Yiyao's long dress swayed behind her, and when the slender figure disappeared completely, the crowd suddenly woke up like a dream, and instantly boiled!

"Did you see it? Who is that? How could His Highness Lu Chen lead the way?"

"God! It's absolutely beautiful! How can there be such a beautiful person in the world?"

"I always feel like I've seen her somewhere. Her profile looks so familiar."

Among the crowd, all kinds of guesses and exclamations were heard endlessly.

However, right now, in the banquet hall under the bright crystal lights, no one cares.

The moment he entered the hall, the glazed lamps and the fragrant clothes and temples filled the sight of every guest.

Luxurious?

No, this is not just a word to describe luxury. The top family in the imperial capital, the most famous and beautiful woman, and the children of the aristocratic clan with a long history, gathered here the top class of the entire empire.

The neon clothes and feather clothes are extremely gorgeous. At this moment, Leng Yiyao, accompanied by Lu Chen, instantly became the focus of everyone!

Liao Sijie patted Chen Zhifan's arm beside him: "Goddess, my goddess!" The attributes of Wannian's walking cat were exposed.

But, not to mention her, even a bunch of girls in the special class of Shengde High School were stunned.

Is this the Leng Yiyao who is lazy in the classroom on weekdays?

Why does she feel that today's her is completely different from usual?

The expression on her face has always been light, and she even pushed Lu Chen's palm away with her own hands. As the daughter of a businessman, she doesn't have the background of most people in the audience, but she has her own aura, which makes people unable to move away at all. Eye.

Leng Yiyao heard someone sighing softly at the corner on the right. She couldn't help but follow the voice to look over there. As a result, she found out that she was an acquaintance. was afraid that more than half of the girls in the special class were invited to participate. this party. Compared to Lola and the others, who were longing for in their eyes a few days ago, Leng Yiyao sighed, this country, seriously, identity determines everything.

There were many figures, she saw Rhode's stunned mouth, Liao Sijie waved her hand vigorously, Chen Zhifan's face was astonishing, only Yunlai, who had never appeared in front of her since returning to the imperial capital, had a quiet face at the moment. Looking at her, it seems like there are thousands of words...

Leng Yiyao just glanced at random, and in an instant, she turned her eyes away.

At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly lowered his voice: "Come on, I will show you someone." His voice was full of respect and admiration, as if he had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.

one person?

Leng Yiyao raised her head, ignoring all kinds of strange eyes around her, and looked into the distance naturally.

On the extravagant and noble golden steps, there is a seat that symbolizes the supreme power of the imperial family. And the man sitting high on the throne, at this moment, looked straight at her, as if he had been observing for a long time.

In this regard, she was unmoved, as if not noticing the look of the other party's scrutiny, but smiled slightly.

Up and down the empire, the supreme ruler of the royal family - Your Majesty the Emperor!

Really looking forward to it....
