Chapter 278: Keeping an Appointment (1/2)

Chapter 278 Keeping an Appointment

In the palace of Emperor Gama, a woman stood in front of the mirror, looking at herself in the mirror hesitantly.

Exquisite makeup quietly concealed her original heroic spirit, her long, jet-black hair covered her jade back, and her luxurious red dress lightly concealed her graceful figure. Her already tall figure was even more enhanced by the crystal high-heeled shoes. one cent.

And this gorgeous and charming woman is none other than Yao Ye, the eldest princess of the Jiama Empire and the future heir to the throne.

"Yue'er. Do I have to wear this to attend the dinner?"

Yaoye's face was full of tangles. The feeling of restraint caused by the long skirt, which made her unable to move freely, made her extremely uncomfortable.

How should I put it? It’s true that Yao Ye, who has been in the army since he was ten years old, is really not used to this dress. He dresses first and foremost to facilitate combat. Yao Ye can’t believe it. The person in it is yourself.

Haven't you ever dressed up like this at any dinner party you've attended before?

Yaoyue, who was looking at her sister with satisfaction, frowned in displeasure when she heard her question.

"What are you talking about? You are the eldest princess of the royal family. This is how you should dress up for an important occasion like a dinner party. My great-grandfather only compromised before because he didn't want to make you dissatisfied. As the future queen, it's time for you to get used to it. "

Hearing what her sister said, Yao Ye frowned in distress. Yao Yue raised her hand and waved lightly, giving instructions to the maid.

"Take the eldest princess to sit down. The other party should be here soon."

"Wait a minute, Yue'er, please tell me who's at the dinner party today?"

"You'll know right away."

Yaoyue said calmly, which made Yaoye helpless and had no choice but to follow the maid to the banquet hall specially prepared for tonight.

Due to the limitations of the formal dress and high heels, Yaoyue couldn't walk as usual, so she had to reach out and pick up the long dress. However, she was stopped by Yaoyue after just two steps.

"Put down your skirt. How can anyone walk with a formal dress?"

"But this"

"I've already said that you should get used to it and don't be willful."

As soon as Yaoyue said these words, Yaoye's face became even more bitter. She reluctantly put down her skirt, followed her usual pace, and followed the maid in small steps that she was not used to.

Looking at Yao Ye's leaving figure, Yao Yue gently raised her little hand to rest on her chin, with a little surprise in her red pupils.

She really didn't expect that her sister, who had been in the army since she was a child, would look so beautiful, with no sign of leading an army at all.

And when compared with the heroic and bold image before, the contrast is even greater.

Thinking like this, the corners of Yaoyue's mouth curled up slightly.

Even Xiao Yan, who is quite serious, should be moved by it.

At this time, a maid slowly came to Yaoyue.

"Princess Yaoyue, Master Xiao Yan has arrived."

"please come in."

"yes."

After a while, the maid brought Xiao Yan to Yaoyue.

Seeing the slightly restrained Xiao Yan following the maid, Yaoyue's red pupils suddenly lit up.

This outfit really improved Xiao Yan's appearance a lot. Although the clothes Yaoyue sent were designed according to Xiao Yan's image, Yaoyue really didn't expect that they would be so suitable.

There is also the hair tied up on the back of the head, which is simply standing up on the back of the neck, but it adds a lot to the overall image. At first glance, Yaoyue really thought that Xiao Yan was a noble son of some big family. Woolen cloth.

"Princess Yaoyue, good evening."

Xiao Yan came to Yaoyue and bowed respectfully to Yaoyue. Yaoyue came back to her senses and smiled lightly.

"Xiao Yan, thank you for responding to sister's invitation." Immediately, Yaoyue turned to the maid and said, "Take Xiao Yan over."

On the other side, Yao Ye, who had arrived at the banquet hall first, had already taken a seat. After the maid left, he glanced at the banquet hall with a puzzled face, and finally fixed his gaze on the empty seat opposite the table.

Originally, Yao Ye thought that the dinner party that Yao Yue was talking about invited many people, but now it seems that there is only one person besides herself?

Somehow, Yao Ye felt a little uneasy in her heart and started to have random thoughts in her mind.

Looking at the candlesticks placed on the dining table, the specially-made scented candles exude an alluring fragrance, making the air seem to be exuding a romantic atmosphere.

Suddenly, an idea came to Yao Ye's mind, and her face suddenly turned ugly.

Wait, is that girl Yue'er finding a blind date for me from somewhere?

It's not surprising that Yao Ye thinks so. Jia Xingtian has mentioned this to her several times, but Yao Ye always rejected it because the army was busy.

How should I put it, Yaoye seemed to be very disgusted with blind dates in her heart. Talking about marriage with a man she had never met before was unacceptable to Yaoye.

By the way, it must be.

Yao Ye nodded affirmatively.

Grandpa couldn't handle it himself, so he asked Yue'er to arrange it for him.

The more she thought about it, the more determined Yao Ye felt in her heart. She snorted coldly, and her nervousness disappeared instantly.

Immediately, Yao Ye completely relaxed, throwing away the elegance she had just tried so hard to maintain. She leaned back casually on the chair, lifted up her skirt and crossed her legs. She put one arm lightly on the back of the chair and the other hand. He picked up the wine bottle on the table and filled his glass with wine.

Then, he waited quietly, having already made up his mind in his heart.

Wait, no matter who it was, when he came to the table to greet him, Yaoye just threw the drink in his face!

Although this move might anger the unknown man, in order to prevent Yaoyue from doing this to him again next time, the shock must be done once and for all, so that Grandpa and Yaoyue will have to think twice before having similar ideas in the future.

"It's here, please come in."

Here it comes!

Hearing the voice of the maid outside the door, Yaoye's eyes were stern, and one hand had already clenched the goblet.

Let's see who dares to propose marriage to me after this time!

Yaoye's eyes were fixed on the slowly opening door, and his hand holding the goblet became tighter and tighter.

When the door opened, the first thing that caught his eye was the maid who opened the door, and then the man following behind the maid.

Seeing the handsome man, Yaoye's mouth instinctively showed a sneer.

Haha, it's true!

It seems that I have to pour this wine today!

The next second, Yaoye seemed to feel something was wrong, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the man carefully.

Roar~~~ He is really handsome, and he looks good at first glance.

Yao Ye thought so and sneered.

But I'm sorry, I don't plan to get married now, so I have to let you be the sacrifice.

Then Yao Ye frowned in confusion.

Why do I feel like I've seen him somewhere?

This man gave Yao Ye a very familiar feeling, but he couldn't remember his name.

Just as Yao Ye was thinking, the maid stood by the door and whispered to the man respectfully.

"Mr. Xiao Yan, please take a seat."

Hearing the maid's words, Yao Ye instantly felt that the clouds had been cleared and the sun had opened up.

Ah~~~ So that's it, it's Xiao Yan, I was saying why I felt like I've seen him somewhere, I really couldn't recognize him at first glance, he turned out to be so handsome when he dressed up seriously.

Yao Ye nodded in understanding.

But no matter who it is, I have to pour this wine today. Huh? ! !

Xiao Yan? ! ! !

Yao Ye, who was originally immersed in the anger of his sister's plot against him, came back to his senses in an instant, sat up straight, put down his legs immediately, tensed up, and stared at Xiao Yan who was slowly walking towards him. Yao Ye's brain was obviously overloaded at this time.

No? Xiao Yan? Why is it Xiao Yan? Why did Xiao Yan come? Was it Yao Yue who found him? Or was it his great grandfather?

Just when Yao Ye's brain was in a mess, Xiao Yan also looked at Yao Ye in surprise.

To be honest, Yao Ye's appearance was not outstanding among the women Xiao Yan had seen, but this dress was too different from her previous bold image, which made Xiao Yan's heart tremble.

But, well.

After all, Xiao Yan had experienced the baptism of Yao Chen's beautiful appearance, and soon came back to his senses, slowly walked to Yao Ye's side, put one hand on his chest, and bowed to her respectfully.

"Your Highness Yaoye, thank you for your invitation."

"Ah? Ah."

Yaoye nodded woodenly, with a forced smile on his face, and his mind, which was already confused, became even more confused because of Xiao Yan's words.

My invitation? Who? Xiao Yan? I invited? When? Did I forget?

Xiao Yan looked at Yaoye who was stunned there, and raised his eyebrows in confusion.

"Your Highness Yaoye? Are you okay?"

"Ah? Ah, it's okay, please sit down first."

Yaoye came back to his senses and forced a smile to let Xiao Yan take a seat.

As for the plan to throw the wine? I don't know where it was thrown away!

After Xiao Yan sat down, the maid at the door came to the table and picked up the wine bottle. Then she looked at the opened wine bottle with some confusion, and looked at the wine glass in front of Yaoye.

Did Your Highness Yaoye pour it?

But after all, she was a royal maid, and her quality was there, so she didn't ask too much. She came to Xiao Yan's table with a normal expression and poured wine into his cup. Xiao Yan also nodded to thank her.

Then the maid gently placed the bottle on the table, turned back to the door, and bowed respectfully to the two of them.

"Please enjoy your meal."

After that, the maid turned and left, gently closing the door. Only Xiao Yan and Yao Ye were left in the banquet hall sitting at the table, looking at each other.

Looking at Yao Ye who was staring at him, Xiao Yan felt a little nervous for some reason, and asked weakly.

"That. Your Highness Yao Ye?"

"Hmm? Ahem."

Hearing Xiao Yan's soft call again, Yao Ye's brain storm finally stopped. He coughed twice with some embarrassment, forced himself to regain his usual calmness, and asked softly.

"Xiao Yan, you just said thank you for my invitation?"

Yao Ye really didn't remember, and didn't remember when he had invited Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan showed a trace of doubt in his eyes.

Hearing what Yao Ye said, it seems that he didn't know that he was invited?

But the letter signed by Yao Ye was delivered, the dress was also delivered, and Yao Ye was already dressed up and waiting, so there should be no problem.

"This is the invitation letter you sent."

Although thinking so, Xiao Yan still took out the letter, stood up and handed it to Yao Ye.

Yao Ye looked at the letter handed over by Xiao Yan, and after three seconds, he raised his hand to take it, opened the envelope and silently read the letter inside.

Immediately, Yao Ye's face became darker and darker, and his jade shoulders were shaking slightly.

Hmm. Angry.

Finally, Yao Ye suddenly clenched the letter into a ball, with a strong fire burning in his eyes!

Yue'er! ! ! ! !

Xiao Yan didn't recognize the handwriting. How could Yao Ye, who had watched Yaoyue grow up since childhood, not know it? ! This letter signed to himself was clearly written by Yaoyue herself! ! !

This girl is really rebellious! ! ! Dare you pretend to be my name? ! !

When Xiao Yan looked at Yao Ye, whose anger was almost substantive, his body couldn't help shrinking, and there was a little fear in his eyes.

Did I do something wrong? Why is Yao Ye suddenly so angry?

After a long time, Yao Ye's anger gradually calmed down and she looked at Xiao Yan sitting across the table.

Forget it, even if it was an invitation made by Yaoyue pretending to be her own name, Xiao Yan has already arrived, and now it will be useless even if the truth is revealed.

Let's get this banquet over safely first, and wait for Yaoyue to settle the score with her later.

And if the target is Xiao Yan, it’s not that Yaoye can’t accept it.

Even deep down in my heart, there is still some unnoticeable joy.

Thinking like this, Yaoye breathed a deep sigh of relief and smiled at Xiao Yan.

"I have just recovered, and my memory may be a little confused. I'm sorry, but thank you for coming to the appointment."

Seeing Yao Ye's smile, Xiao Yan was suddenly startled, which made Yao Ye a little strange.

"What's wrong?"

"Ah, it's nothing." Xiao Yan came back to his senses and scratched his face in embarrassment, "His Royal Highness Yao Ye's outfit today suits you very well. It's completely different from how you usually feel."

Hearing Xiao Yan's praise, Yao Ye couldn't help but feel happy and chuckled softly.

"Thank you for the compliment. Your outfit suits you very well today. I almost didn't recognize you when you first came in."

"Ha, this is also my first time wearing this kind of clothes."

Xiao Yan responded with a somewhat sarcastic smile.

Then, the two of them looked at each other across the table. They were so embarrassed that they didn't know what to say. They tried their best to maintain the solemnity and elegance that they were not used to.

Just like that, the banquet hall fell into deep silence, with only the low burning sound of the aromatherapy candlesticks on the table echoing.

After a while, Yao Ye finally couldn't stand it any longer, burst out laughing, raised her hand and waved lightly to Xiao Yan.

"Hahaha~~~Okay, okay, there's no one else here anyway, so there's no need to be so serious." Yaoye relaxed her tense body, leaned back on the chair and smiled: "I shouldn't be used to this. In serious situations, just treat each other the way we did before, just eat and chat normally."

After hearing Yao Ye's words, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled lightly.

"Since His Highness Yao Ye said so, Xiao Yan would be disrespectful."

Although Xiao Yan is a very serious person, the atmosphere in the royal family is too serious. Xiao Yan has been tense since he came in, for fear of doing something wrong.

Now that Yao Ye said this, Xiao Yan was naturally very happy.

After hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yaoye suddenly raised his eyebrows.

"Huh? Your Highness Yaoye?"

"Forehead"

Seeing Yao Ye's expression, Xiao Yan was suddenly startled, and then said awkwardly.

"Miss Yaoye."

Hearing Xiao Yan's changed name, Yao Ye's eyes were full of helplessness.

It's really difficult for you to change your title.
