C7: Prince Shen Qingqiu

Third POV
(A/N: make sure to play YT video during this chapter)

By a few day of that week, Shang Qinghua got back to the castle without getting noticed and ask Mobei Jun for assistance for the new prince. Mobei agree and give him some money and plans for him as Shang Qinghua get to work. Binghe might have overheard them but he was curious about this new prince that Qinghua say with his apprentice. Still so oblivious.
Shang Qinghua told Shen Yuan to do this thing on his own since he will be working in the castle to show less suspicious. Shen Yuan nod and did his quick pray as he ride the carpet to do his deed. It might have took more time than Shen Yuan wanted but he is lucky to be smart. He manage to get it up until the sun set so it is time to get started. It got all quiet in the town that Shang Qinghua got concerned if Yuan is doing play.
He walk in to give the royals their meal as he kept his head down since the king and prince are here. Binghe stared at him intensely since he know the man who he was in town with and want to ask what happened to Shen Yuan. Qinghua can sense his stares as he got nervous a bit and Mobei notice that too so he said to Binghe, "My lord, it is not polite to stare at our servant." Binghe hum and look away as Qinghua sigh to himself and finish it up until he got hit by a drumstick from one of Binghe's wives.

It was Sha Hualing again to bully him as she snarl at this while Mobei glare at her for being so disrespectful to their servants especially at Qinghua. Qinghua brush his hair out and clean the mess until he feel heavy footsteps coming this way. He smirk and pretend to be surprised as he look up in the window.  Tianlang-jun felt the movement as well and asked, "What is it with the heavy movement?" Mobei hum as he get up to check along with everyone goes off to check outside.

The footsteps come with some guards, ladies, soldiers, animals, and a man on top of a beautiful black horse. The guards insist everyone in the town to make way and says out loud, "Make Way! Make Way! Make Way for Prince Shen Qingqiu!" Qinghua look out and hide his smug face to see the success of his friend trying hard to be his future husband to Prince Binghe. Binghe stand beside Mobei and Qinghua as he see this 'Prince Shen Qingqiu' which make him glance at the person. Shen?
Shen Yuan was trying his best to stay calm by this huge crowds for his arrival and make sure he don't act all shy. He look around with his fan fanning himself to aware his new surroundings because of the contact len before looking up to see the castle. He breathe heavily and hope this plan goes well like Mobei and Qinghua wanted. Qinghua smirk at his friend and nod as he look up to see Binghe who didn't seem interested but his eyes haven't left off 'Prince Shen Qingqiu'.
The wives aren't impressed already and started a plan to sent this one away as they all walk in but the king is curious about this new prince. Qinghua use a secret signal for Yuan to do some good deed to have people like him as Yuan saw it in the distance luckily. He nod and grab some golden coin that he use for extra, then throw them out to the poor for them to be happy and grateful for him. They all cheer for him and admiring this prince as some ladies fall in love for him by his beauty and charms.
Yuan get a bit flustered by this since he is getting some attention and being so kind to the town, which he always has before but no one pay attention to him as he was a nobody. He hide himself with the fan for sure as people find this adorable and oddly charming. Binghe hum and was going say something but Tianlang-jun said to Mobei, "Open the gate. Let's go greet this Prince Shen Qingqiu." Mobei Jun nod and follow him before having the prince join them.
Qinghua smile and hide his squeal before following along but also pretend to keep working again. The gate open up for Shen Yuan as he got to the castle and he look at the interior of Hua Huan palace. He sigh and nod as he walk inside to enter inside respectfully. He get out of his horse and step down on the brick floor as he admire the place.

He heard footsteps and turn around to see the king himself along with Mobei Jun and Prince Binghe. Shen Yuan froze in place when he see Binghe again as his eyes admire the prince once again without his glasses, while Binghe stared at him with zero interest. Qinghua stand in the doorframe to see Shen Yuan and signal him to pay attention which Yuan gulp a bit when he soon snap out of it.
Tianlang-jun walk up to Shen Qingqiu and said as he bow, "Greeting to meet you, Prince Shen Qingqiu. What a entrance you have there. My name is Tianlang-jun, the king in Cang Qiong Mountain. This is my son, Luo Binghe and his apprentice, Mobei Jun." The two boys bow politely to him as Shen Yuan bow back before saying in his new voice that he practiced from Qinghua with some hint of professional, "The pleasure to meet you all. I'm northwest from here. Quite sorry for a overwhelmed entrance." Shen Yuan look at Qinghua with a hint of ignorance as Qinghua approve to this.
Mobei Jun raise his eyebrow knowing who he is and slowly look back at Qinghua before Qinghua smile innocently. Shen Yuan eyes stared back at Binghe and said to be polite, "It is a honored to meet you in person, your highness." before bowing. Binghe stared at him and had this weird feeling he met him before as his heart skips a bit like how he feel with Shen Yuan.
Binghe just nod and bow back at him as he said respectfully, "The honored is mine, Prince Shen Qingqiu." His red eyes glance at the other blue eyes which make Yuan nervous on this already and want to back out.

Tianlang-jun walk beside Shen Qingqiu and said, "So what bring you here, young one?" His eyes match Binghe's eyes and Yuan felt sweaty as his eyes move to Qinghua. Qinghua quietly cheer for him to say it as Yuan sigh and did a quick pray for this mistake.
He stared at Tianlang-jun and said proudly, "I'm here to marry your son." The prince and king was surprised to hear this as Mobei and Qinghua both grin at this.
Yep Yuan is a dead man.
