I didn't become a princess today

Chapter 380
After Chu Xiu's birthday banquet started, everyone presented gifts to her one after another. There were not a few people who wanted to please Chu Xiu, and the gifts they presented were more precious than some treasures in the national treasury.

The Lin family surprised everyone by presenting a precious aviary skirt.

Some people who were still disgusted because of the low status of the Lin family before became jealous. You must know that the workmanship of this hundred-bird skirt is complicated. It takes nearly ten years to weave one piece, and it takes hundreds of precious birds to make it the best. Only the feathers that can be seen are considered complete. There are only two bird skirts in this world.

One was kept in the Palace of Prince Qin of the Ming Dynasty, but the second one would appear at Princess Chuxiu's birthday banquet today.

"Patriarch Lin has a heart." Chu Xiu was also very surprised by this, but she also loved this hundred-bird skirt from the bottom of her heart.

With the Lin family's aviary skirt in front, the gifts from the people behind were not enough. Even Duan Qian's gift of golden nanmu carvings was a bit inferior.

Shen Yuan, who was sitting next to Wei Yan, also looked tired from the fuss at this time, lowered her head, and obediently peeled the citrus in the fruit plate.

But I don't know if it's because she didn't control the strength well, a good citrus was pitted by her, and several petals were rotten, and the juice was stained on the fingertips.

Shen Yuan spread out her palms, smiled silly at Wei Yan and said, "Hands are dirty."

Wei Yan looked sideways at Shen Yuan, dazed for a long time, then slowly stretched out his hand, squeezed a corner of his sleeve, and helped Shen Yuan wipe off the citrus juice stained on Shen Yuan's hands bit by bit.

Yue Qu, who was sitting opposite them, completely took this scene into her eyes. She had known Chu Yan for so long, and she had never seen Chu Yan approach anyone so proactively.

She had shown favor to Chu Yan many times, but Chu Yan was unwilling to even give her a look. Although she was disappointed, she later saw that Chu Yan was so indifferent to other women, and she could feel a little relieved.

It's just that she didn't expect that Lin Yuan suddenly appeared today and beat her off guard. Lin Yuan went to get close to Wei Yan recklessly. You can wipe your hands for Lin Yuan.

In desperation, she knocked over the wine cup in her hand, and the wine soaked her dress.

"Princess, I'll go down and change into clean clothes first." Yue Qu almost ran away, not daring to look at the two people next to him, tears welling in his eyes.

Chu Xiu could also see Yue Que's embarrassment, so someone took her down.

On the other side, Shen Yuan was still teasing Wei Yan from time to time, Shen Yuan took a new orange and put it in front of Wei Yan, "I want to eat it, can you peel it for me?"

Wei Yan hesitated for a short time this time, peeling the citrus just like Shen Yuan did just now, the table was quickly peeled, and his hands were wet.

Shen Yuan was puzzled, she looked at Wei Yan, and asked, "Are you imitating me?"

Wei Yan has no way to answer her, he has no memory, no name, no emotions, his whole body is like an empty shell, the only thing he remembers is Shen Yuan, whom he loves deeply.

And now Shen Yuan broke into his field of vision again like this, but he didn't remember how to love her, how to get close to her, how to keep her.

So the only thing to do is to imitate.

Wei Yan pushed the peeled citrus in front of Shen Yuan, his hands became sticky because of the citrus juice, he stretched out his dirty hand in front of Shen Yuan, opened his mouth, but found that his hair was trembling. No sound.

Wei Yan tilted his head, as if thinking why he couldn't speak like Shen Yuan.

The tip of Shen Yuan's nose was a little sore, she took her own handkerchief, grabbed Wei Yan's hand, and wiped it off bit by bit.

Wei Yan's hands are very cold, just like Master, they are like people on the edge of the world and the underworld.

Wei Yan's hands are beautiful, with well-defined knuckles, slender and fair, but different from before, there are thicker calluses on the tiger's mouth, and two deep scars left at the edge of the little finger.

"It's all wiped clean." When she looked up again, Shen Yuan had suppressed all her emotions, and became that stupid Lin Yuan again, and said to Wei Yan as if asking for credit.

Wei Yan nodded slightly, and then became helpless again.

He likes Shen Yuan touching him, likes that warm and soft fingertips groping for the scar of his little finger, that kind of touch is like a life-saving rope, hanging him in the darkness of the abyss.

But now Shen Yuan withdrew his hand again, he didn't know what to do next.

Suddenly, Chu Xiu who was seated above said, "Miss Lin, that's not your seat, you should sit back obediently."

Everyone was a little strange. After all, Shen Yuan had been sitting next to Wei Yan just now, and Princess Chu Xiu didn't say a word about it as if she didn't see it.

Why are you suddenly thinking of breaking them up now?

Shen Yuan's attention was diverted from Wei Yan, and she looked at Chu Xiu with swollen eyes, Chu Xiu smiled at her, and said, "Are you still going down, Lin Yuan?"

In front of Chu Xiu who is good at disguising and changing appearances, all these concealments made by Shen Yuan are not worth mentioning.

Shen Yuan also knew that she couldn't hide it from Chu Xiu, but she was also sure that Chu Xiu would not expose her so quickly.

She wanted to use Chu Xiu, and Chu Xiu also wanted to use her.

"Don't..." Shen Yuan didn't listen to Chu Xiu's words, but whispered aggrievedly, "I want to sit with my husband."

"Go down." Chu Xiu lowered her eyes and looked at Shen Yuan with dignity.

Shen Yuan seemed to be frightened, she pursed her mouth and sobbed a few times, then stood up after a long time, covered her face and ran back to Madam Lin and sat down.

Wei Yan's eyes were full of blood, and Shen Yuan suddenly moved away from him, which made him very irritable.

Wei Yan clenched his hands on his knees unconsciously, and just when he was on the verge of losing control, a eunuch outside shouted, "Your Majesty is here!"

Chu Xu's appearance was like a cage, once again locking Wei Yan firmly.

On the other hand, Shen Yuan also understood Chu Xiu's intention for letting her down. She is not suitable for Chu Xu to focus on her now, otherwise she will become constrained in doing things in the future and cause a lot of trouble.

"I have seen the emperor."

"I have seen the king."

Everyone bowed profusely, Chu Xu was also in a good mood today, with a smile on his face, "Stay flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chu Xu sat next to Chu Xiu without hesitation, and even pulled her to prevent her from moving, "I brought you a birthday present."

Chu Xiu was a little surprised, she thought that Chu Xu came here to go straight to the Lin family and the Duan family, but she didn't expect him to remember to bring her a birthday present, "Send me a son-in-law?"

Chu Xu ignored Chu Xiu's off-kilter joke, and signaled to the eunuch next to him, who bowed and came forward with a wooden box in his hand, "Princess, please have a look."

Chu Xiu lifted the lid of the wooden box, and a snake-shaped seal with a unique shape lay quietly in it. The silver snake on the seal surface was inlaid with purple gemstones for eyes, and the four sides of the seal were engraved with centipedes, scorpions, geckos and toad.

This seal Chuxiu knew that the Queen of Nanjiang controlled the token of the harem.
