Chapter 268: Which Young Lady Is The Prince Going To Show Tenderness To?
“Prince, Cousin came that time to pass on Uncle’s news to me. It’s always inconvenient for me to go out, especially to meet with Uncle and Cousin.” Ning Xueyan pondered for a moment and spoke the truth, and then her tone turned to mockery. “Of course, the ‘hero saves beauty’ plot that Prince saw just now was not designed by Cousin either. That ‘hero’ didn’t get the chance to save the person, it really wasted other people’s schemes.”
“That hero wouldn’t be Xia Yudong, the second son of the Xia family, would it?” Ao Chenyi suddenly laughed, looking in a good mood. It was rare for him to pour a cup of water for Ning Xueyan himself and hand it over, saying leisurely.
“Yes.” Ning Xueyan admitted directly after taking the tea.
“Then you deliberately let the steward of your mansion see this scene just now?” Ao Chenyi’s eyes narrowed with a smile.
“Since she doesn’t like the Third Prince and likes to be involved with the illegitimate son of the Minister’s Mansion, even Ning Zuan can’t do anything about it, right!” Ning Xueyan took the tea, gave a slight smile, and was calm and composed, as if she wasn’t talking about how she deliberately harmed people, but instead, she was showing off her own freedom.
With her agile eyes full of smiles, Ao Chenyi felt that this young girl’s composure in this manner, he had really never seen before.
“It’s really a happy thing for This King to have such a clever Concubine.” Ao Chenyi’s eyes slightly flicked, his viciousness lessened slightly, and the smile at the corner of his mouth grew bigger.
“Prince is flattering, it’s no longer a nameless and statusless favored concubine, and it can be considered as having a real status.” Although she heard the warning in Ao Chenyi’s words, Ning Xueyan still smiled softly, pretending not to hear his words.
“Oh, are you asking This King for status?” Ao Chenyi asked with a slight smile, reached out his hand and held Ning Xueyan’s teacup, stroking it gently. Ning Xueyan’s hand was lower in temperature than the average person’s, and his hand wasn’t high in temperature either. When the two of them held hands like this, there was quite a bit of ice-cold feeling.
Ning Xueyan didn’t expect that his hand was also so cold, and couldn’t help but shiver.
“Didn’t Prince give me status!” Ning Xueyan looked at the slight smile at the corner of Ao Chenyi’s handsome lips without dodging, and asked with a faint smile.
“You are really a bold young girl, Yan’er, This King seems to really like you.” Ao Chenyi’s gaze fell on her face with good features, on the fair and tender face like jade and snow. Her smile was pure and clear, and even carried a bit of childishness. It was clearly a young girl who hadn’t grown up, but it was such a young girl who dared to answer him fluently in front of him without surprise or fear.
Moreover, after he warned her that she would only be a Concubine after entering the mansion, she could still maintain this expression, as if she wasn’t talking about others.
“Prince is joking. Prince, Yan’er still has things to do, and also to avoid causing trouble for Prince later, so I won’t disturb Prince.” Ning Xueyan stood up smiling, her watery eyes agilely turned, not at all caring about the “love” of this handsome and cold-blooded Prince. Of course, Ning Xueyan had never believed this from the bottom of her heart.
She believed more that this master’s blood was cold.
Liking, and such things, were all jokes, or words with other goals. Ning Xueyan didn’t feel it was necessary to continue.
In a moment, the fighting below seemed to have stopped, as if its purpose was to fight for the sake of fighting. Of course, she couldn’t accompany Ao Chenyi to watch for too long, otherwise, if Ning Qingshan and them really couldn’t find her later, she might have to cause some trouble again. Those few would stir up waves even without wind, let alone when there was something.
“No problem, your Older Sister is unable to care for herself, come with This King to watch a good show.” Ao Chenyi did not intend to let Ning Xueyan go, he stood up with great interest, walked to the screen, took a dark ink colored cloak from it, but when he saw the bewitching Manjusawa embroidered on it, Ning Xueyan knew that this cloak belonged to Ao Chenyi.
Ao Chenyi took off a cloak, walked in front of Ning Xueyan, put it on her, reached out his hand to elegantly tie it, and pulled her clothes, and finally, he also lifted the hood of the cloak. Ning Xueyan’s figure was much shorter than Ao Chenyi’s, and at this time, she was covered by his wide cloak, where could she still see what was going on.
“Prince, where are you going again?” Ning Xueyan said with a lot of helplessness, put on the hat, the darkness in front of her, she didn’t know what this master was making a fuss about, but her heart relaxed. Since Ao Chenyi let Ning Qingshan and them unable to care for themselves, then certainly no one would discover that she was alone and missing.
The dark ink colored robe, the half-exposed snow-colored skin, and the plump, small red lips, even under the half-covered state, also possessed a beauty that made one’s heart palpitate…
The hat in front of her was suddenly lifted, Ao Chenyi’s slender eyes raised: “If you don’t want to be discovered, then obediently lie in This King’s arms.” After saying that, he pulled Ning Xueyan to the back window, looked at the direction, picked up Ning Xueyan in one hand, leapt out of the room, and between a few leaps, he went towards a light.
The wind outside was very strong, and she knew that they were leaping on the bottom floor. Ning Xueyan had to hold Ao Chenyi tightly, for fear that he would “slip up” and throw her down. It wasn’t that she was worried that he was really careless, but she was afraid that this Prince, who had always played his cards in an unorthodox manner, would do something that went against common sense again.
No one knew what this capricious master would do next.
Although she held Ao Chenyi’s slender waist tightly with both hands, and her head rested in his arms, Ning Xueyan still sharply felt that the room just now was not far from here. The reason why they leapt several times was just to avoid a straight-line distance, and moreover, the street in front was brightly lit, and they might be discovered if they looked up.
And the position they were now occupying was very good. Neither was at an air vent, nor was it in front. They had a tall eaves in front of them, even if someone was watching from the opposite side, they wouldn’t be able to see the two of them.
“Are you scared?” Ao Chenyi’s voice was in her ears, the warm wind blew her hair at her ears, Ning Xueyan’s face inexplicably flushed red, and she had a slight feeling of a restless heart. She tried to avoid perceiving his face that seemed to be close at hand, and calmly said: “Is it okay? I just don’t know what Prince is here to explore at this time?”
“If I say, This King is here to explore private affairs, will Yan’er accompany me to watch the whole scene?” Under the moonlight, Ao Chenyi’s eyes couldn’t be seen, only his wicked charm was mixed with an icy cold breath, surrounding her.
“Prince, how unique!” Ning Xueyan didn’t know what to say, blinked her watery eyes, and squeezed out these few words.
“It’s rare to have such a good festival, after the swords and shadows, of course, one also has to see tenderness like water, which is always a great thing in life, and it’s unforgettable tonight.” Ao Chenyi seemed quite joyful, and the tone of voice, which was somewhat eerie, wasn’t as icy cold as usual. He reached out his hand and pressed Ning Xueyan in his arms. His eyesight was astonishing, and he naturally saw Ning Xueyan’s face and the corner of her mouth lift, and she slightly pouted at him.
The young girl’s guts were getting bigger and bigger, and she even dared to mock him.
“Oh, Prince, who is this going to watch tenderness like water?” Ning Xueyan didn’t know that her disdainful expression was seen by others completely, and still asked casually, while observing the place where they were sitting, and discovered that not far from her eyes, there was faint light spilling out. Was there a hidden window there?
The so-called hidden window, in order to have better lighting, was to intentionally leave a not-so-big window at a certain place on the roof, and several big tiles were loosely covered around it. The light could penetrate, and it wouldn’t attract rain, but because of its small practicality, ordinary people wouldn’t use it. And this one in front of her, should be the location of the hidden window.
Why did this household set up such a hidden window? Could it be that the room below isn’t the main room?
Seeing that Ning Xueyan didn’t notice his words, Ao Chenyi suddenly felt a few points of displeasure. He reached out and accurately put his hand under Ning Xueyan’s jaw, and pulled her towards himself with force.
Ning Xueyan didn’t guard against Ao Chenyi’s sudden action. She only felt that her body couldn’t control herself and was about to fall backward. Subconsciously, she was about to exclaim, but fortunately, she immediately realized it and hurriedly closed her mouth tightly. She held onto Ao Chenyi’s powerful waist with both hands, and correctly embraced him.
“Prince, you…” Startled by this sudden action, Ning Xueyan was quite annoyed, and raised her mouth to speak.
Suddenly, the corner of her mouth was soft, ice-cold soft feeling, immediately made her suddenly stop her voice. Her hand subconsciously reached towards her lips, although she knew that he couldn’t see it in the dark, her face turned red immediately.
Just now, could it be that she touched this Prince’s lips!
“Why, you already want to kiss This King so early? It’s a pity that This King still wants to keep it until after the wedding night with Yan’er. But if you must, This King can also satisfy you.” Low laughter, with a wicked charm and languidness, and the slightly vibrating chest, were all showing that this master was in a good mood. The hand that locked her slender waist was very overbearing in holding her, and there was no intention of letting go at all.
Ning Xueyan’s face was burning as if it was on fire. This person was really shameless when he spoke. It was as if she was impatient. Although she had embraced him before, it was all out of necessity. Moreover, the matter of the two people’s wedding was too early, and furthermore, this person also didn’t say it right. The so-called wedding night, that was his and his Principal Wife’s business, what did it have to do with her.
“Prince, the wedding night is the Prince’s and the Principal Wife’s business, what does it have to do with Yan’er!” Ning Xueyan was both embarrassed and angry, and wanted to turn over, but the hand on her jaw didn’t relax at all.
“Is Yan’er blaming This King for not marrying you as the Principal Wife? This King’s Principal Wife must be the daughter of an Aristocratic Family, a true daughter of a high-ranking family.” Ao Chenyi said quite languidly, sensing Ning Xueyan’s discomfort, and released the hand that was controlling Ning Xueyan’s jaw.
Ning Xueyan was speechless. This was a matter that had nothing to do with it. Now she wasn’t even a Concubine, why did it involve this, this person’s thinking, was indeed not something that a normal person could understand. Moreover, why did he explain it so solemnly, to make her recognize her identity? She had always recognized it very clearly, okay!
“Prince, someone seems to be coming below, do we need to watch?” She reached out and pushed Ao Chenyi, and withdrew one hand, pointed at the bottom and asked, she had heard the sound coming from below just now.
“Yan’er wants to hear people’s private affairs?”
Ning Xueyan suddenly felt that she really wanted to curse. The other hand reached over and rested on Ao Chenyi’s chest, and word by word she gritted her teeth and said: “Prince, if I remember correctly, it was you who brought me to see people’s private affairs.”
“Oh, it was This King, then let’s watch together!” Ao Chenyi said quite generously, reached out and took off a piece of loosely covered tile, and a faint light immediately clearly allowed the two people above to see the scene below.
Seeing the graceful figure standing there, Ning Xueyan’s eyes stiffened. Why was she here?
