Chapter 333 The Prince's Car
Before noon, an extremely luxurious and oversized carriage slowly drove over. The carriage was made of precious wood, carved with exquisite patterns and inlaid with sparkling gems. It reflected the dazzling brilliance under the reflection of the sunlight, showing its noble and extraordinary appearance.
The horse driving the carriage was also extremely majestic, with shiny coat and strong and powerful hooves. It was obvious at a glance that it was a good horse selected from thousands of miles away.
Nangong Qi sat in the carriage wearing the gorgeous costume of the Prince of Xiqi. The costume was mainly bright yellow, and the collar and cuffs of the clothes were embroidered with intricate dragon patterns in gold thread. Every dragon scale was embroidered vividly, as if it would take off into the air at the next moment.
He wore a jade belt inlaid with emeralds around his waist, which made him look tall and straight and noble.
He wore a golden crown, and the pearls on the crown were round and full, emitting a soft light. A few strands of hair hung down in front of his forehead, adding a bit of unruly and unrestrainedness to him.
Behind the carriage, twenty royal guards followed in a neat formation. Each of them was dressed in dark robes, their figures standing tall and straight like pine trees. At their waists were long swords, the patterns on the scabbards gleaming coldly in the sunlight. The breeze rustled their robes, and their awe-inspiring appearance was intimidating.
This group of people appeared on the street in a mighty manner, instantly attracting the attention of everyone on the street. People gathered around, looking around curiously and whispering to each other.
"Oh my, this is such a grand occasion. I wonder which important person they are here to pick up. It's so grand and impressive."
"Yes, look at this carriage and these guards. It must be that some important person is about to leave the posthouse."
Everyone was talking and speculating, and noisy discussions were heard on the street.
At this time, Luo Lingchen was still standing quietly by the window on the second floor of the "Yingkelai" Inn, his eyes fixed on the movements at the inn.
Last night, he had already made up his mind to find a suitable opportunity to meet Shen Li so that he could tell her all the thoughts in his mind.
Unexpectedly, the person he had sent to infiltrate the posthouse reported back to him that the situation inside was far more complicated than he had imagined. Aside from a woman and a few maids, the rest were all skilled in martial arts, each with extraordinary skills. The person warned him not to act rashly, lest he alert the enemy and cause unnecessary trouble.
Luo Lingchen sighed helplessly, his heart filled with regret and helplessness, thinking to himself: It seems that if I want to see Shen Li, I have to find another way, but where should I start looking for this method? He frowned and looked at the carriage that was gradually moving away, his eyes revealing a trace of worry and anxiety.
The extremely luxurious carriage slowly stopped in front of the post station. The shaft swayed slightly, the horse snorted a few times, and its four hooves dug the ground restlessly a few times.
Afterwards, Nangong Qi walked down from the carriage with the respectful help of the guards.
Today, Nangong Qi was wearing the attire of the Prince of Xiqi that showed off his noble status, and he exuded an innate grace and elegance.
With an expectant smile on his face, he walked into the inn happily.
The innkeeper and his servants saw him from afar, and hurried over at a trot. With a plop, they all knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and shouted in unison: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. May His Royal Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!" The sound echoed in the corridors of the inn, and it was particularly loud.
Nangong Qi raised his hand slightly, waved it gently, and said in a calm tone: "No need to be polite."
The common people outside who had gathered to watch the excitement only then saw clearly that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who got off the carriage. They were suddenly panicked and knelt on the ground in fear, kowtowed, and shouted, "Welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, may His Royal Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!" For a moment, the streets outside the inn were filled with the shouts of the crowd, making it extremely lively.
Nangong Qi was in a particularly good mood today. He turned to look at everyone, his smile growing wider, and said in a cheerful voice, "No need to be polite, no need to be polite. Everyone, please get up quickly."
After saying this, he turned around and walked quickly into the inn. Just as he was about to tell the innkeeper, "Go ask..." But before he could say anything, he waved his hand and said to himself, "Forget it, forget it. I'll go find her myself."
At this moment, Shen Li happened to open the door and stood in the corridor on the second floor, taking in the whole situation below.
She paused for a moment, then walked down slowly with light lotus steps, followed by Shen Shaodong, Shen Xuan, Shen Yu, Su Ran and other relatives and friends.
Nangong Qi's attention was immediately attracted to her. At this moment, he seemed to only see Shen Li in his eyes.
He stared at Shen Li who was walking slowly towards him. She had a pair of eyes as big as a cat's, bright and moving, as if hiding thousands of stars. Just a glance could make people fall deeply in love with her.
Her skin, as white as jade, seemed to be glowing in the sunlight. Her small and straight nose was perfectly set in the center of her face. Her lips were as red as cherries, without any makeup. The corners of her mouth were slightly upturned with a faint smile.
She was wearing the exclusive clothing of Princess Fuxi. The fabric was high-quality and the cut was appropriate. The carefully embroidered patterns on it showed her status and style. She looked noble, elegant, dignified and graceful when she wore it.
In a trance, Nangong Qi seemed to see Shen Li wearing the clothes of the Crown Princess, walking slowly towards him with a shy and happy look on her face. The beautiful picture kept appearing in his mind, making him a little dazed for a moment.
