"Hmph, no taste at all. Since you don't have the heart for it, then please keep your mouth shut and stop rambling here. With a mouth that long, do you think you're a woodpecker? You made this princess get worked up for nothing." Su Qingying rolled her eyes and made a gesture of holding her chest with hands as if her heart was broken into pieces.
"... Holding back the urge to smooth down the goosebumps on his body, Xuan Yuan Mo twitched his lips, "It was this king's fault."
"Don't be ridiculous, of course it's your fault! I don't care about anything, look what you've done to this princess' heart!" Su Qingying said indignantly.
"...." Everyone was speechless.
What on earth makes you think people would like you?!
After witnessing Su Qingying's reckless and chaotic martial arts, Xuan Yuan Mo refused to speak, even if his life depended on it.
At this moment, Jun Liye narrowed his phoenix eyes as if unintentionally, and softly spoke, “I've heard that the Fifth Princess of Dongyue is strikingly beautiful. I wonder if this king would have the honor to see the princess's elegance with my own eyes?”
When those words were spoken, a deathly silence fell over the entire hall. Then, in an instant, the whole hall erupted!
Everyone stared in disbelief, could they have heard wrong? The Regent King of Beiling was actually speaking to the foolish princess of Dongyue!
For a moment, everyone was shocked and confused, even Xuan Yuan Luo Chen and the others couldn't believe it.
Su Qingying's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and she inwardly cried out, "Oh no."
<<< This fiend wouldn't have recognized himself, would he? Putting on a brave face, she chuckled dryly, "Oh, oh, that's not necessary, is it? We are all cultured people, shouldn't we judge beauty and ugliness based solely on appearance? We should use our hearts to feel the beauty of a person, inner beauty is the true beauty, don't you agree, Regent King?" >>>
"The Fifth Princess refused to lift her veil, but what was she trying to hide?" Jun Liye clearly didn't believe her. His slender fingers gently rubbed the white jade cup in his hand, his cold voice carrying a chilling frostiness.
Seeing her departure at night, he insisted on lifting Su Qingying's veil. Even though he usually had a calm and composed demeanor, Rong Yue's eyes flickered slightly, with something fleeting in their depths.
Shangguan Jinghong also didn't understand his actions, but he would definitely not interfere. His intuition told him that this little girl must have had something interesting happen with Jun Liye. Watching their play was a once-in-a-century event.
Su Ziyi was displeased with Jun Liye's attitude. His phoenix eyes flickered with some confusion. How could Ying'er be involved with Jun Liye?
Just as Su Qingying was caught in a dilemma, a female voice, laced with infinite sarcasm, rang out. "Hmph, she naturally wouldn't dare to remove her veil. Perhaps she is too ugly to frighten us? The Regent must have misheard. If she truly possessed breathtaking beauty, King Ximing Rui would not avoid her like a demon!"
Speaking was a beautiful woman with bright eyes and white teeth, her figure slender and graceful. She was Zhao Ruzhi, the third princess of Nanjiang Kingdom. She had admired Jun Liye for many years and came to Ximing this time just to make a move on him.
From the moment he appeared, his gaze never lingered on her for a second, always following that world-famous fool. How could she bear it!
As soon as Zhao Ruzhi spoke, another female voice chimed in from among the officials in the hall. "That's right! Who in the world doesn't know that this Fifth Princess of Dongyue is foolish and ignorant, with no talent whatsoever? To say she is stunningly beautiful? She wouldn't even be afraid to crack her own teeth laughing."
Speaking now was Lan Feiyue, the second daughter of Xi Ming's right minister, Lan Bo. The eldest daughter, Lan Xinyao, was unwell and unable to attend the banquet, so naturally, Lan Feiyue took her place.
Lan Feiyu usually disliked Su Qingying for always inserting herself between her sister and Xuan Yuan Che. Now, seeing so many people gathered around Su Qingying, she felt unbalanced and deliberately made a difficult remark.
"Stop talking! You fool!" Right Minister Lan Bo's face was contorted with rage, his old features trembling. If it weren't for so many people present, he would have slapped the idiot awake!
Haven't you seen Su Ziyi's gloomy face? Even though Su Qingying is incompetent, she is still a princess of a country. Her status is noble, so it is not something you can comment on! |
