บท 20: Bewitched by his beauty

Linxiao's (pov')

Then, I saw that she had clothes in her hand and I felt confused seeing clothes, that's why Liu Ying had clothes in her hand at this time?.

"Why are the clothes in your hand at this time?" I asked her to want to know.

"Miss, did you forget that you have to go to the Imperial Palace?" said Liu Ying.

"Ughh... I really forget about that", I can't believe how I can not remember about that. Later, Liu Ying said to me I stood and took clothes from Liu Ying so that I could get ready to go to the imperial palace but she stopped me and said that she can help me get dressed.

I was shy at first. I don't want to receive help from others to get dressed and I never dressed by others but leave that thought I accept her advancement because I know I am a princess, not a normal girl and from today onwards, I have to behave the Princess. so I said yes to her.

She dressed me beautifully in the light-coloured blue dress. My hair opens coming to my waist looked like they were taken care of carefully. When I saw myself in the mirror I could not hold my smile and couldn't believe in my curious black eyes that it was me, yes. I looked gorgeous in a light blue and the hairstyle which Liu Ying had done enhanced my beauty with long black hairs tucked with pink butterfly pins, and hairs hanging till my waist.

After that, she led me outside of the room. I had accepted myself as Princess and now I want to enjoy my life like that one.

When we were outside of my courtyard I saw the beauty of this place which was too different from the city life. If someone wants to take a rest from their working and busy schedule, this place was good for them from the modern era. I was enjoying this place and saw that many maids were happily working there. It made me think that they are not maids but family, instead of like in the modern world and anyone can make this little mistake.

When they saw me they all started to bow to me one after another. It startled me at first. what should I say, then I looked towards Liu Ying who was beside me, that she can help me with that but she was not looking towards me but somewhere else.

I followed her sight and saw that she was looking towards a handsome man who was coming towards us.

And in the blink of an eye, he was in front of me, he looked maids behind me.

"Rise," he said to maids. Which I forgot when I saw him.

After saying that he looked toward me, his eyes staring at my eyes which made me blush.

"Ugh...his handsome good looking face which bewitched me….with his beauty"... and I blushed and that I forgot he was my brother Lin Feng. What I could do about that when he had such a handsome face and that was my weakness. I liked all the things which were pleasing to the eyes and suddenly I think he was getting more and more handsome when I last saw him.

"Greeting prince," said Liu Ying. That was enough to bring me back from his all over handsomeness.

"Elder brother…" I said.

His alluring eyes went on Liu Ying then after me and he said, "I will take you towards the Imperial palace".

I did not deny his courtship and leaving Liu Ying behind I followed him and no one said anything neither I nor him on our way towards the imperial palace. When I looked in his face he looked like he was angry with something I wanted to ask him. I remember how he was when he was angry and I dropped the idea to ask anything to him and in a few minutes, we were in front of the royal imperial palace.

Today, Lin Feng had found news which made him angry and when he came out of his Courtyard And saw Linxiao's face his anger rose and he went towards Linxiao and said that he will court her to the imperial palace.

He wants to ask something from Linxiao but doesn't get how to start so he follows her without saying anything, that he could ask her after meeting with Father and he would confirm his doubts.

I looked again at my prince brother's face. He was lost somewhere but I didn't disturb him from his thoughts and looked around the place and I can say the architecture had done his job greatly because the place looked great and spacious and the flowers which were decorated in raw from starting from the door to inside the palace, enhance the beauty of this courtyard.

On the top of the palace was written a word 'IMPERIAL PALACE OF EMPEROR LIN YUZHANG' with dark black colour ink.

"So the famous Imperial palace looks so beautiful", I said to myself.

Then suddenly a middle-aged man came to us. He bowed towards us.

" Greetings Prince Lin Feng and Princess Linxiao '' said that middle-aged man. he was dressed in light colour long silk robe which tells that he held a royal position in court and maybe a trusted person besides my Emperor father.

This break Lin Feng thought and he greeted back him as Linxiao followed him and greeted that man.

"Prince, his majesty was waiting for both the prince and princess," said that man.

"Led us to his majesty," said Lin Feng to that man.

I was just in a daze. I saw all the courtesy and way of talking only in dramas. It was new for me but somehow it felt not that much new to me.

I followed behind my brother and saw a middle-aged man dressed in a combination of blue and white colour long robe and his black colour eyes give a calm, loving and same time dangerous aura it looked like that person would be dangerous to whom they wrong him but loving to others who were close to his heart.
