As the night grew deeper, Ye Sui closed her eyes and went to sleep. She had a dream.
Ye Sui heard numerous footsteps outside the room. One of the guys yelled, “The Crown Prince is getting married today. None of you must slack off. This is a crucial moment, so don’t make any mistakes.”
Ye Sui’s consciousness was a little vague. She muttered, “The big wedding? What’s the big wedding? What do you mean don’t make any mistakes?”
Ye Sui wanted to get up and see what was going on outside. However, someone next to her said, “The Crown Prince’s imperial concubine is going to get married soon. This veil cannot be taken off.”#[email protected]
Ye Sui wanted to ask what was happening. However, she hadn’t had the chance to speak. Someone had already lifted her up. Although she did not want to, she still followed the person.
Ye Sui realized that her current body wasn’t under her control.
Perhaps, she had entered the Crown Prince’s imperial concubine’s dream. Since she was unable to break free, Ye Sui might as well immerse herself in it, experiencing the joy and sorrows of the Crown Prince’s imperial concubine Xia Zhou.
Wearing a red veil, Ye Sui got into the carriage. The carriage slowly moved forward, and after a long journey, it finally stopped.
Since it was the Crown Prince’s big wedding, the place was full of red decorations. It was a national celebration.
Ye Sui was brought to the front where the Crown Prince was standing. She clearly had never seen the Crown Prince’s face before. However, her attention was directed here because of hearing these two words from other people’s discussions.
Ye Sui took a glance, but the Crown Prince’s face wasn’t clear. Even then, she could still make out that the Crown Prince had fine features. He was an honorable and noble person.
“Bow to heaven and earth一”
“Bow to the parents—”
“Bow to each other—”
“The ceremony is over.”
The ceremony ended. Starting today, she would be her wife.
Ye Sui and the Crown Prince were sent to the East Palace by the crowd. She sat on the bed, her red veil still on her while waiting for the Crown Prince behind the red gauze curtains. Everything was vague and indistinguishable, as she was covered with a red veil.
The surrounding area suddenly became quiet. After a short while, footsteps resounded, getting closer and closer.
The person stopped in front of her. Ye Sui looked down and saw a pair of black boots embroidered with golden silk python-shaped patterns.
Ye Sui knew that this person was the Crown Prince. Her heart started to beat faster.
The Crown Prince stared fixedly at Ye Sui. His gaze slowly moved down.
Then, he raised his hands. Those slender fingers neared Ye Sui, getting closer and closer. They were only a few inches away from her. In the next second, the red veil would be lifted.
Ye Sui was very nervous. Some expectations and anticipations bubbled up in her heart.
At this moment, an anxious voice suddenly came from outside. “Report—”
Someone had entered the East Palace and knelt before the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince retreated and slowly dropped his hand. He asked in a deep voice, “What is the matter?”
The man kowtowed. With an angry and grief-stricken voice, he said, “Your Highness, the battle ahead is urgent. Our army was ambushed, and many have been wounded and are suffering from severe injuries…
“This Subordinate is incompetent. Crown Prince, please give your decision!”
The army was under a lot of pressure, and the invaders were watching them menacingly. As a prince, it was important for him to be on the battlefield.
Although he was her husband, he was also the noblest and peerless Crown Prince of the Xia Zhou Dynasty. His honor and disgrace and his life and death were all tied with the country.
Xia Zhou Dynasty gave him prosperity, so he would do everything in his power to protect the country.
The Crown Prince did not speak for a long time. Ye Sui stared at the Crown Prince through the red curtain.
Although Ye Sui couldn’t really see anything, in the hazy red, she could make out that the Crown Prince seemed to turn his head and glance at her.#[email protected]
The Crown Prince looked so real yet so far away. That the handsome, elegant, and unrivaled face was so close to her.
The Crown Prince’s dark and deep gaze seemed to be able to see through the red curtains and right into her eyes.
In the silence, Ye Sui heard the Crown Prince speaking in a low voice. It felt a bit familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time, reaching her ear very clearly.
“Once the war ends, I’ll definitely come back to find you.”
The Crown Prince stared at Ye Sui. He slowly uttered one final sentence as if he had exhausted his deepest emotions, “Please wait for me.”
The Crown Prince’s words were his promise. Once he got back from the war, he would love, respect, and care for her, granting her a lifetime of glory and honor.
Ye Sui sat there quietly, tears sliding down her cheeks. She didn’t cry when visiting the Crown Prince or when the two looked at each other through the red curtain.
But when Ye Sui heard the Crown Prince utter the words “Please wait for me,” she couldn’t suppress her tears any longer. They finally rolled down her face.
Ye Sui pressed her lips tightly. She wanted to speak with the Crown Prince. However, she could not control her body and was unable to speak.
She finally opened her mouth and heard her own voice. Her voice was solemn, filled with a sad but happy tone, “Your Highness, I’ll be waiting for you.”
If you cherish me, I’ll repay all your kindness and affection.
The Crown Prince turned and left. Everyone slowly dispersed. Ye Sui heard the loud voices outside. They were preparing for the Crown Prince’s trip.
On the wedding night, after the ceremony was over, the imperial concubine’s veil wasn’t uncovered. The Crown Prince and his imperial concubine didn’t have the chance to meet each other yet. He had to go to the battlefield.
The new bride was left alone in the East Palace.
The Crown Prince took off with his commanders and soldiers. The others also left, and the East Palace suddenly became quiet. Ye Sui noticed that she raised her hand and gently took off the red veil.
Ye Sui didn’t get up for a long time and sat there in silence. The pair of dragon and phoenix candles on the table burned for as long as Ye Sui sat waiting for the Crown Prince.
The wind was piercingly cold. The candlelight flickered, swaying gently. With a “click,” the candle was completely out. The imperial concubine didn’t sleep for the entire night.
Ye Sui woke up from the dream. She opened her eyes and saw that the sky was already bright outside. She withdrew from the serene East Palace and returned to reality.
Her dream was so real that she couldn’t tell whether it was a dream or something she just experienced.
Ye Sui touched her face and found it wet. She was affected by the emotions she had in the dream. She felt both the joy and sorrow of being Crown Prince’s imperial concubine.
Questions arose in Ye Sui’s heart. After that battle was over, did the Crown Prince come back? Did the imperial concubine stay awake till the Crown Prince came back…
Ye Sui felt a little depressed. She looked to her side and saw Chen Shu sleeping beside her. She raised her hand, wanting to touch him, but she was afraid to wake him up, so she put her hand down again.#[email protected]
Ye Sui stared at Chen Shu. Was he the Crown Prince inside the dream? What happened in their previous life?
Ye Sui had a feeling that she would know the answer real soon.
Because of Ye Sui, 《Do ghosts really exist in this world?》broadcast had been stopped for half a month. A new episode would finally be released.
All the fans had been asking questions on the official blog about when the next episode would be aired. There was no news until today.
“Long time no see, Xia Zhou Palace Museum.”
Soon after that, the Xia Zhou Palace Museum also reposted this on Weibo, confirming that the next episode would be shot in the Xia Zhou Palace.
Once it was posted on Weibo, the fans went crazy. Those who were watching other variety shows also received the news and came back. The server went down due to the load.
“It’s finally going to be aired! A crazy call for the show location. The director must have heard me and decided to go to Xia Zhou Palace again.”
“Can you get rid of Ye Sui as a guest? She has gone from deserving admiration to being a nuisance. I don’t really want to see her face anymore. If she’s present, I won’t be watching the episode.”
“Hehe, upstairs, do you even know who the star of this program is? Without Ye Sui, what do you want to watch? A group of timid guests shivering behind Tian Shi Zhu?”
“I really want to know whether Chen Shu will come together with Ye Sui on the show again. There’s no need to disguise this time. I beg the crew to give the handsome guy Chen a shot. Directly shoot his face so that I can lick the screen.”
Once the popular show resumed, it became the number one in trending news. Not only that, but it also became a carnival day for the Huarui couple fans.
Ye Sui was going to participate in the variety show again. What did this mean?
They could continue to pick up clues from the show and see the public display of affection. Their one single action could make you laugh from ear to ear.
The suspension of the show had caused a lot of controversies. After the decision to rebroadcast became public, some of the viewers still cursed Ye Sui.
This program had maintained a high reputation since the beginning, from the suspension of broadcasting to returning to the Xia Zhou Palace. Although the current popularity was high, it was still unknown whether it could hold onto its reputation and audience.
As everyone enthusiastically waited, the day of the airing finally came.
They didn’t guess wrong. Ye Sui had brought Chen Shu to the shooting location. The difference this time was that the two of them didn’t try to hide. They didn’t even wear masks and hats. They just showed up on the scene.
The guests hadn’t arrived yet, and the show hadn’t started. Ye Sui and Chen Shu sat quietly and waited, chatting from time to time.
The staff occasionally glanced at them. There were many rumors about the couple on the Internet. However, it turned out that they were quite a good match.
Chen Shu just sat there. However, the aura his body emitted was hard to ignore. People couldn’t help but look over.
The moment Chen Shu smiled at Ye Sui, he looked gentle. However, the staff felt a little restrained when they thought that he was Huarui’s boss.
“Everyone, relax. We must be relaxed to record the show.” Director Sun realized what they were thinking. After instructing them, he walked towards Ye Sui.
Ye Sui greeted him, “Director Sun, long time no see.”
Director Sun looked at Chen Shu and said teasingly, “Ye Sui, so this is your husband.”
No wonder he felt that there was a stranger at the scene last time. However, Ye Sui said he was in her team, so he didn’t care much about it. He didn’t expect that this handsome man would actually belong to her family.
“The audience requested that I give your husband a few shots.” Director Sun didn’t want to make a decision without authorization. He still had to seek Ye Sui’s opinion regarding this matter.
Chen Shu: “…”
Ye Sui firmly rejected it, “Director Sun, please don’t worry. I’ll concentrate on recording the show and won’t keep staring at my husband.”
