Borovia is a country of etiquette, and such high-level dinners are generally not held except for special festivals or royal celebrations. Therefore, it can be seen that Borovia attaches great importance to Heyu Group's cooperation this time.
The magnificent banquet hall was brightly lit, and most of the guests were members of the royal family, various parliamentarians, ministers, and related investors.
Shangguan Yu and his entourage were surrounded as distinguished guests, with champagne, fine wine, fine clothes, and a well-known Guanxuan band. This was a scene that could only appear in the upper class.
Shangguan Yu had long been tired of such occasions. After he cooperated with Nansen to give a high-sounding official speech in public, he was bored and prepared to find a quiet place to spend some time alone.
Behind the banquet hall is the largest royal back garden in Borovia. It is filled with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants. Various flower vines and flower stands with colorful neon lights create secret and dreamy little worlds one after another.
Shangguan Yu was wearing a black slim-fitting dress. The decent tailoring highlighted his slender and perfect figure. His thin, cool lips seemed to evoke a faint smile under his handsome features, which were as sharp as a chisel.
It is a joke or ridicule of the world, which makes him appear evil and unruly.
The moonlight is sultry, the silent air is filled with fragrance, the man is holding a glass of white wine and drinking it carefully, looking coldly at the boundless night. No one knows what this deep man is thinking at this moment...
"Three years and three years, in troubled times, I have lost my beauty..."
Suddenly there was a distant singing voice, which sounded like the voice of a young woman. The voice was like a cry or an accusation. It sounded extremely sad at night.
How could someone suddenly sing in a place like this, and sing in such a plaintive voice, just like the concubines in the ancient palace who were thrown into the cold palace, miserable and helpless...
Shangguan Yu suddenly became interested, and he walked slowly in the direction of the sound.
It was a huge vine trellis, with dense branches spreading out and intertwining to form a natural screen, like a pouring turquoise waterfall, a lush green area, with the breeze passing by, the leaves flapping the leaves, making a "rustling" sound.
In the quiet air exuding the fragrance of grapes, there is a special artistic conception.
"I lost my beauty and brought chaos to my country, three years after another..."
The singing became clearer and clearer, and the singer got closer and closer to the man. The sad and plaintive voice actually brought an inexplicable touch to Shangguan Yu, as if he had met an old friend he had known in his previous life.
The man's footsteps were very light, holding his heavy breath, and gently lifted the curtain made of grapevines, and the sounds inside suddenly stopped.
A woman wearing a mask suddenly turned her head. The familiar eyes of the woman under the mask made Shangguan Yu couldn't help but gasp...
"Rao...rao Mengyu?"
The man asked with uncertainty in his surprised voice, and his cold and sharp eyes carefully looked at the woman in front of him.
She wore a silver-white mask, a goose-yellow cotton canopy skirt, a ruffled skirt, and a ruffled neckline. Her complexion was as pale as snow, and she had a sickly feeling, as if she had been imprisoned in a dark dungeon for a long time.
prisoner, the most surprising thing is that her eye color is also purple!!
"Rao Mengyu?"
Shangguan Yu asked again, but this time he was asking himself.
No, not her!!
Although the two have the same eye color, their temperaments are completely different.
The woman in front of her looked more innocent than Rao Mengyu, and she had a feeling of pity. Although Rao Mengyu was equally fragile, she still had a strong support in addition to her fragility, just like the lush and lush women growing in the tropical rainforest.
Although the plants are weak, they have strong vitality and are individuals that can compete with him.
But the woman in front of me didn't have that kind of temperament at all. She was like a puff of smoke that would disperse when blown, or like a strand of black hair that would break with a little force.
In front of her, you don't even dare to speak loudly because you can't bear to scare her...
"You...who are you?"
The woman dodged back in fear and kept covering her face with her palms, as if she was afraid that others would see her face, even though she still had a mask on her face.
"Don't be afraid, I don't mean any harm, I just heard your singing..."
It was rare for Shangguan Yu to soften his voice, because the soft temperament that the other party invisibly exuded made all the pitiful "love for fragrance and cherishing jade" in his bones be released at this moment.
"Don't come over, don't come over, I'm afraid..."
The woman was so scared that her whole body was trembling. Her hair was long and spread over her shoulders, covering most of her face, making her look even more weird.
She seemed to be afraid of Shangguan Yu's approach, and kept walking backwards. When she could no longer retreat, she covered her face, huddled up and trembled.
This scene made Shangguan Yu feel confused. He asked himself that although he was cold and ruthless and could not be approached by others, he was not so vicious that he could be so scary!
"What's wrong with you? Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
Shangguan Yu spread his empty hands to indicate that he had no ill intentions.
He seemed to be coaxing an overly frightened kitten, and he had never been so patient.
The woman was still curled up and trembling, muttering: "Don't put me in a dark room, I am obedient, don't put me in a dark room..."
"No one wants to lock you up. Just tell me what your name is and I will take you to play and eat delicious food, okay?"
Shangguan Yu might be curious, or might be overflowing with love. He patiently stretched out his hand to the frightened woman, hoping that she would trust him.
This kind of psychology is very strange, as if the strong will naturally sympathize with the weak. Although Shangguan Yu has very little "humanity" in his bones, at this moment he suddenly became "suspicious" in his enthusiasm...
"You...are you Brother Li? You are Brother Li who came to take me away, right?"
Gradually, the woman relaxed her vigilance towards Shangguan Yu, but the words in her mouth made Shangguan Yu even more confused.
"What? Brother Li, who is this?"
God, who will tell him what happened to him?
"Brother Li, I'm afraid of the dark. I don't want to be locked up in a dark room. Brother Li, please take me away quickly..."
The woman looked at Shangguan Yu with longing eyes, as if she regarded him as a savior.
As if a little baby was holding his finger, the softest part of the man's heart was touched by the woman's pitiful eyes.
Shangguan Yu said solemnly: "Come, come here, I will take you to the banquet hall."
Such a young and beautiful woman should be passionate and unrestrained, and should live surrounded by people, instead of growing old lonely in this dark and dark corner...
"Great, banquet. Biwen likes banquets. Biwen wants to attend the banquet with Brother Li..."
The woman's timid and gloomy eyes suddenly became excited, like a blind man who had been in darkness for a long time regaining his sight. It was obvious that she liked Shangguan Yu's proposal. The joy came from the heart and had almost infected the man.
"Come on, give me your hand..."
Shangguan Yu smiled and stretched out his hand to the woman. Just as the woman was about to put her hand on the man's generous palm, he heard a group of people rushing in...
"Princess Ten, Princess Ten, where are you? Come out quickly, Princess Ten, you should take medicine, be good, come out quickly..."
The shouting sound was just outside the grape trellis, and the dense grapevines were able to hide the identities of the two people.
"Ah, they are here to catch me..."
"It's so scary, so scary. I don't want to be locked up in a dark room, and I don't want to take medicine. It's so scary, so scary..."
The woman suddenly screamed out of control, and kept hiding in Shangguan Yu's arms. Her body that had just relaxed began to tremble again.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here, no one dares to lock you up."
Shangguan Yu gently soothed the woman's nervous mood.
But in the end, the mighty group of people discovered the whereabouts of the two people.
"Mr. Shangguan?"
Everyone was stunned when they saw this.
"Don't come over, don't come over..."
The woman hugged Shangguan Yu tightly, refusing to dare to look at the group of people.
"Who are you and what do you want to do to her?"
Shangguan Yu held the woman in his arms and asked with cold eyes.
"Mr. Shangguan, this is the tenth princess of the Kingdom of Borovia. Biwen has a mental problem and ran away. Now please give the princess to us!"
One of the older women said respectfully to Shangguan Yu.
"Princess?"
"Yes, the ten princesses are the ten royal sisters of His Highness Nansen."
"You want to lock her up?"
Shangguan Yu asked coldly and sharply.
"The tenth princess has a mental problem and will behave inappropriately. We are ordered to keep a close eye on her..."
The woman paused and then said: "Please cooperate with me, Mr. Shangguan. You'd better stay out of our royal affairs."
Is this a threat?
But Shangguan Yu was least afraid of threats.
"What if I insist on taking care of it? I will take her to the banquet now. Since this banquet is my farewell dinner, of course I have the right to invite anyone."
The man's firm and cold tone made everyone feel embarrassed. They must know that this distinguished guest is someone they cannot afford to offend!
"this……"
"I'm going to the banquet, Biwen is going to the banquet, Biwen doesn't want to stay in the dark room, Biwen doesn't want to take medicine, the medicine is so bitter, Biwen doesn't want to take it..."
"Okay, if you don't want to eat, I'll take you to eat delicious snacks and drink delicious wine, okay?"
The originally cold man's tone suddenly became gentle, and his attitude changed so quickly that everyone was caught off guard.
"Okay, okay, Brother Li is the best to Biwen. Biwen likes Brother Li, he likes Brother Li very much..."
The tenth princess smiled happily and hugged Shangguan Yu tighter.
Although Shangguan Yu was forced to become a "substitute", he felt good when he saw the woman smiling so cutely.
"I now declare that she is my female companion. Do you still want to stop her?"
"Here, Mr. Shangguan, we..."
"Let her go!!"
Just when everyone was in a dilemma, Nansen's serious and energetic voice suddenly came.
