The banquet concluded, and Gu Shengyin was already feeling a bit tipsy, so she simply took a walk in the Imperial Garden.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please put this on, be careful not to catch a chill," her loyal attendant Bi Xin said, holding out a white cloak for her.
It was now deep autumn, and if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince caught a cold, all the palace attendants in Qinghuang Palace would probably have a hard time.
Gu Shengyin didn’t want to trouble them, so she obediently let Bi Xin put the cloak on her.
"I am just walking around because I feel a bit dizzy... Who?" Her gaze sharpened, coldly staring at a certain spot, not at all like someone who was drunk.
"This prince also happens to feel a bit tipsy and couldn’t sleep, so I came out for a walk. My intrusion upon the Crown Prince’s presence is quite sudden," a magnificent voice sounded, causing Bi Xin to blush in an instant.
"So it’s Prince Yong from Da Qin," Gu Shengyin withdrew her gaze, then addressed Bi Xin, "Go and bring me a bowl of Sobering Soup."
"Your Highness, shall I call someone over?" Bi Xin asked cautiously.
"There’s no need," Gu Shengyin said indifferently.
Once Bi Xin had left, only the two of them remained in the entire Imperial Garden.
The Imperial Garden was not pitch dark, as palace lamps hung high at regular intervals. Although they didn’t light up the space as bright as day, they still allowed the two to see each other clearly.
Qin Quexi still looked the same as he did during the day, still in that exquisitely luxurious purple robe, his expression clear. Where was the hinted drunkenness?
In contrast, Gu Shengyin was indeed a bit drunk.
Qin Quexi scrutinized her closely. The Imperial Family of the Heavenly Phoenix Dynasty was known for its beauty, with Crown Prince Huang Changge being the best among them.
Unlike her previous haughty demeanor, the current Crown Prince’s face, pure as white jade, was flushed with a light pink, her eyes half-open with a hint of haziness, her features softening significantly.
Especially the soft white fur around her neck made her look even cuter.
When Qin Quexi regained his senses, he realized he had been staring at the Crown Prince.
He pressed his forehead, it seemed he was really somewhat drunk.
However, in the next moment, the person sitting on the stone chair suddenly opened her eyes.
Gu Shengyin stood up and walked over to Qin Quexi.
The women of the Heavenly Phoenix Dynasty were tall, and standing , she was almost as tall as Qin Quexi.
Gu Shengyin leaned gently towards Qin Quexi, who raised an eyebrow, curious to see what the Crown Prince intended to do.
The heat of her breath on his neck unexpectedly made him feel a spark of nervousness.
By his ear was the woman’s clear, teasing voice, "Your Highness Prince Yong, I admire your grace. Would you be willing to stay in the Heavenly Phoenix Dynasty and become my legal spouse?"
Qin Quexi’s expression shifted, and without dodging, he encircled her with his arms.
Qin Quexi found that he was somewhat enamored with this sensation.
Before Gu Shengyin could speak, he interrupted her.
Qin Quexi, mirroring Gu Shengyin’s tone, said softly, "What a coincidence. This prince also admires the grace of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I wonder if His Royal Highness would be willing to come with me back to Da Qin and be a forever joyful Princess Consort?"
Gu Shengyin chuckled to herself; this man really didn’t like being outdone in the slightest.
