The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

Chapter 124 Princess Sakura

Princess Qianying is only eighteen years old, in the prime of her youth. She is not only outstanding in appearance, but also elegant in temperament, as beautiful as a blooming cherry blossom. As the eldest princess of the Great Chu royal family, she is even more popular and doted on. However, despite this, she has not yet married. In the court of the Great Chu, the King of Chu is not satisfied with many of the nobles, so Princess Qianying has not yet married.

Just a few days ago, when she learned that Master Chen Xuan was coming to the State of Chu, Princess Qianying was filled with a strong sense of anticipation. So, she took the initiative to find the King of Chu and asked to dance at the welcoming banquet. The King of Chu was very surprised by this sudden request, but facing his most beloved daughter, he agreed without hesitation. At this moment, looking at the beautiful and extremely shy Princess Qianying in front of him, the King of Chu suddenly realized that this girl already had someone in her heart, and the person who made her heart beat was Master Chen Xuan.

I have to admit that Master Chen Xuan does have extraordinary charm. He is not only handsome and elegant, but more importantly, he is talented and has reached a high position at a young age. Such a man is undoubtedly the ideal partner in the minds of many women.

However, at the same time, the King of Chu was in a dilemma. On the one hand, he hoped that his precious daughter could be happy; on the other hand, he was reluctant to marry his daughter off. After all, once married, Princess Qianying would have to leave Chu and live in another country. Thinking of this, the King of Chu could not help but feel sad.

However, he couldn't bear to make his precious princess sad, so the King of Chu forced a smile and said, "Okay, okay! Qianying's dancing skills seem to be even better than before, there will be a reward. You are usually closest to Ziyuan, so why don't you sit next to Ziyuan."

"Thank you, father!" Princess Qianying bowed gracefully and walked lightly to the empty seat next to the Second Prince and sat down. Opposite her was Young Master Chenxuan. Princess Qianying felt her heart pounding as if it was about to jump out of her throat.

The second prince also realized at this time that his sister, who was too picky, had taken a fancy to his good friend! The second prince felt bitter in his heart. He couldn't afford to offend any of these two little ancestors. He could only look at Princess Qianying helplessly, secretly praying in his heart that she would not cause any trouble for him. Princess Qianying was completely immersed in her admiration for Master Chenxuan and didn't notice the expression of the second prince at all.

Master Chen Xuan, who was sitting next to her, felt the burning gaze of Princess Qianying and couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable. He frowned, but still kept a polite smile and nodded to Princess Qianying. However, Princess Qianying regarded this as encouragement. Her heartbeat became more intense and her face flushed.

At this time, the banquet continued, with singing and dancing performances, delicious food on the table, and everyone laughing and talking. However, Princess Qianying's mind was no longer on the banquet, her eyes always stayed on Master Chenxuan, as if the whole world only had the two of them.

Just when Master Chenxuan was about to lose his smile, the welcoming banquet finally came to an end. The Emperor of Chu said slowly, "Lord Yang, you must have come all the way here. I will let my Second Prince and Princess Qianying take you to the inn to rest. We will discuss business after the morning court tomorrow. Ziyuan, Qianying, entertain the distinguished guest for me."

"Yes, father." The Second Prince and Princess Qianying answered at the same time.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the King of Chu. In this case, I will take my leave first." Master Chenxuan stood up and saluted.

After leaving the palace, the Second Prince and Princess Qianying walked on either side of Master Chenxuan. The Second Prince smiled and joked, "Brother Chenxuan, my sister is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is also very familiar with the capital. I believe you will have many common topics. In the next few days, if you have free time, why not let Qianying take you to tour Chujing?"

Master Chen Xuan smiled slightly and said apologetically: "Thank you, Your Highness and Princess, for your kindness, but I have many things to deal with during my visit to Chu State. I'm afraid I don't have time to play."

The second prince was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect to be rejected so straightforwardly. He smiled softly: "State affairs are of course important, but a day or two won't make a difference. We haven't seen each other for a long time. When can we find some time to catch up?"

Master Chenxuan paused for a moment, then responded with a smile: "Then I'll trouble the Second Prince and Princess Qianying."

Princess Qianying looked at Master Chenxuan with surprise, a hint of shyness flashing in her eyes: "It's no trouble, it's Qianying's honor."

Young Master Chen Xuan had been very popular among women for many years, so he was no stranger to Princess Qianying's look. He smiled bitterly in his heart, said goodbye to the two of them, and quickly turned around and walked into the inn.

Princess Qianying stood outside the door, her eyes closely following Master Chenxuan's departing figure, unable to come back to her senses for a long time. Her eyes were filled with complex emotions, as if she had thousands of words to say, but didn't know where to start.

The Second Prince at the side couldn't help but find it a little funny when he saw Princess Qianying like this. He gently patted Princess Qianying on the shoulder and said jokingly, "Qianying, stop looking. Everyone has gone far away. Let's go back first."

Princess Qianying was awakened by the Second Prince's words. When she came to her senses, a trace of shyness and helplessness appeared on her face. She sighed softly, with a hint of melancholy in her voice: "Second Brother, you..."

However, before Princess Qianying finished her words, she was interrupted by the Second Prince. He smiled and said, "Okay, Qianying, don't think too much. Let's go back to the palace quickly, otherwise mother will be worried." As he said that, he took Princess Qianying's hand and walked towards the direction of the palace.

Princess Qianying followed the Second Prince silently, but the image of Master Chenxuan still lingered in her heart. She knew that she had a special feeling for Master Chenxuan, but she couldn't express it easily. The Second Prince's teasing made her feel extremely embarrassed and helpless.

On the way back to the palace, Princess Qianying remained silent. Seeing this, the Second Prince was a little worried. Although they were not born of the same mother, Princess Qianying had been taken care of by Concubine Zhang since the Queen disappeared. The two siblings had always been close. The Second Prince carefully said teasingly, "Qianying, although Master Chenxuan is indeed handsome, he wouldn't be so obsessed with you at first sight..."

Princess Qianying blushed when she heard this. She lowered her head, twisted the hem of her clothes with her fingers, and muttered softly, "It's not the first time we meet..." The scene of her first meeting with Master Chenxuan involuntarily emerged in her mind. The scene of that day was deeply imprinted in her heart.

It was a sunny day, and Princess Qianying went out of the palace to look for her second brother as usual, feeling happy. However, when she passed by a rockery, a melodious sound of the piano came into her ears, like the sound of nature. She was attracted by the beautiful sound and couldn't help but stop and look for the sound. I saw a young man in white brocade clothes playing the piano attentively beside the rockery. His fingering was skillful, his expression was devoted, and his whole person exuded an extraordinary temperament. The sunlight shone on him, reflecting his handsome face and slender figure, like a banished immortal.

Princess Qianying was deeply moved by the scene before her. She stood there blankly, staring at the young man playing the zither, with an inexplicable throbbing in her heart. She was completely immersed in the music and the beautiful scenery, forgetting everything around her. Until the end of the song, the young man stood up, bowed to everyone and said goodbye, then turned and left. Princess Qianying came to her senses and wanted to catch up with him to talk, but it was too late. She could only look at his back as he walked away, her heart full of regret.

Later, after asking around, Princess Qianying learned that the man playing the zither was Master Chenxuan, who was known as the best master in the world. Upon learning that Master Chenxuan was going on a diplomatic mission to the State of Chu, Princess Qianying felt that she should seize the opportunity.
