Chapter 247 Gentle Township
Seeing that he didn't answer, Lin Wanqing tactfully shut up and waited for him to speak.
After a while, it was Lu Shengyuan who spoke first to break the silence.
"I just came to see you, worried that you might not be used to the palace rules."
He said softly, a hint of tenderness in his voice.
When Lin Wanqing heard this, his heart moved slightly.
She found that her attitude towards this prince seemed to be a little different.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Everything is fine with me."
She whispered, a hint of melancholy on her face.
"Really? I heard that you and the Crown Princess had a very happy chat."
He looked at her with deep eyes.
Lin Wanqing was stunned, then nodded.
"The Crown Princess is a nice person. I get along very well with her." She didn't know why Lu Shengyuan asked this, but she answered truthfully anyway.
Upon hearing this, Lu Shengyuan's expression seemed to relax a little.
He reached out and gently stroked Lin Wanqing's head.
"That's good. I thought you wouldn't be used to life in the palace."
He said softly, a hint of worry in his voice.
Lin Wanqing was somewhat moved. She found that this prince was not as cold-blooded and ruthless as she had imagined.
"Your Majesty, I will adapt well to life here."
She whispered, a glint of determination in her eyes.
Lu Shengyuan looked at her and nodded.
He stood up and prepared to leave.
"My lord, you..."
Lin Wanqing looked at Lu Shengyuan's actions, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.
She didn't know why she suddenly called him, but she felt that he seemed a little lonely when he left like this.
"I just came to see you, I hope you're alright."
Lu Shengyuan had his back to her, his voice low and hoarse.
Lin Wanqing's heart moved slightly when he heard this.
She knew that although this prince looked cold and ruthless, he actually had his own softness and care.
"Your Majesty, I know you are worried about me, but I am really fine."
She whispered, a hint of tenderness in her voice.
Lu Shengyuan didn't say anything, just shook his head, and then strode out of her bedroom.
Lin Wanqing looked at his back, a complex emotion welling up in her heart.
Her feelings for this prince have gone beyond the ordinary love between husband and wife.
She lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Lu Shengyuan's figure and what he just said kept appearing in my mind.
Lin Wanqing felt as if she had fallen into the prince's gentle trap and couldn't extricate herself.
She didn't know what to do and could only endure the emotional torment silently.
"Princess, it's time to get up."
When the maid's voice sounded in her ears, Lin Wanqing was startled to realize that it was already dawn.
She sat up and rubbed her sleepy eyes.
"What time is it now?"
she asked, a hint of hoarseness in her voice.
"Princess, it's already noon."
The maid replied respectfully.
Lin Wanqing nodded and began to wash and change clothes.
She knew that she couldn't continue to sink like this and had to find a way to get rid of this emotional distress.
"Princess, the prince is hosting a banquet today. Please come with us." A maid walked in and said.
Lin Wanqing was stunned, then nodded.
She knew she couldn't hide forever and had to face Lu Shengyuan.
She changed into a gorgeous palace dress and came to the banquet.
Lu Shengyuan was already sitting there, surrounded by some officials and noble women.
Lin Wanqing took a deep breath and slowly walked in front of him.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."
She whispered, a hint of melancholy on her face.
Lu Shengyuan looked at her, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
He reached out his hand and gently helped her up.
"Princess, there's no need to be so polite. Please take a seat."
He said softly, a hint of tenderness in his voice.
Lin Wanqing nodded and sat down next to Lu Shengyuan.
She tried hard to remain calm and not let her emotions show, however, she didn't know that Lu Shengyuan saw all of this.
He looked at her, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
He knew that Lin Wanqing had been avoiding him, and he also knew the entanglement and struggle in her heart.
However, he had no way to take the initiative to comfort her.
After all, they are husband and wife, but more like strangers.
"Princess, you seem a little distracted."
He said softly, breaking the silence.
Lin Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses.
"No, it's nothing."
She whispered, a hint of embarrassment on her face.
"I know what you are thinking."
He looked at her and continued, "I know you have been avoiding me."
Lin Wanqing was shocked when he heard this.
She didn't know how Lu Shengyuan knew what was on her mind, and she didn't know how to answer him.
"Princess, I know I have done many things that have made you unhappy."
Lu Shengyuan looked at her, his voice low and hoarse, "But, I hope you can give me a chance so that I can make up for my past mistakes."
Lin Wanqing felt a warm feeling in her heart as she listened to his words.
She discovered that this prince was not as cold and heartless as she had imagined.
He also has his own tenderness and care, but I have never discovered it.
She didn't know how to answer him, so she could only lower her head silently.
"Princess, I know you have me in your heart."
He looked at her, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes, "I will give you time to slowly accept me."
Lin Wanqing was shocked when he heard this.
She didn't know why Lu Shengyuan was so confident, nor did she know whether she should believe him.
"Your Majesty, your concubine..."
She wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lu Shengyuan.
"Princess, you don't need to say anything. I know what you are thinking."
He looked at her with a hint of tenderness on his face, "I will wait for you until the day you are willing to accept me."
Lin Wanqing listened to his words and felt an indescribable emotion in her heart.
She didn't know how to answer him and could only look at him silently.
The banquet continued, but Lin Wanqing no longer had the heart to attend.
Lu Shengyuan's figure and what he had just said kept appearing in her mind.
"Princess, what's wrong with you? You don't look happy."
The princess walked up to her and asked with concern.
"No, it's nothing."
Lin Wanqing came back to her senses and forced a smile, "Maybe I'm feeling a little unwell."
After she finished speaking, she found an excuse to leave the party.
She walked into the garden and sat in a pavilion to rest.
She looked at the scenery in the distance, but her heart was filled with confusion and bewilderment.
She didn't know how to face Lu Shengyuan's feelings, nor did she know what path to take in the future.
"Princess, why are you here?"
A familiar voice sounded in her ears. Lin Wanqing came to her senses and saw Lu Shengyuan standing in front of her.
"Your Majesty, I feel a little uncomfortable and would like to rest here for a while."
She whispered, a hint of fatigue on her face.
Lu Shengyuan looked at her, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.
