Chapter 194: Can You Let The Nephews Have A Look?
Ning Xueyan was very helpless now; she was really helpless. She finally managed to send Heng Yuqing away and secretly turned into a small path. She saw the eunuch Little Zhuzi, who was beside Ao Chenyi, waiting there. After taking Ning Xueyan to a courtyard to change clothes, she went out from the back door and changed places with the woman who was wearing a veil before.
That woman was wearing the clothes of an ordinary palace maid and mixed in with the crowd.
After everything was tidied up, the eunuch Little Zhuzi took Ning Xueyan and sat her down in the position next to Ao Chenyi.
On the men’s seats, Ao Chenyi and the two Princes had the most noble identities!
But the two Princes were a generation lower than his seniority, so he alone occupied the first place. The Third Prince and the Fourth Prince occupied the seats below him. The third seats were several Young Masters with noble identities. Prince Min’s Heir, Wen Xueran, was sitting on the third seat, leisurely watching the female relatives opposite.
In his alluring peach blossom eyes, he didn’t hide his interested appreciation at all.
Being watched by such a handsome and refined man who was almost like a woman, whether it was the young ladies who knew him or didn’t know him, they were all blushing shyly, looking like they wanted to see but were too embarrassed to.
Everyone in the Capital City knew that Prince Min’s Heir was extremely handsome and was the most famous handsome man. In terms of appearance, there was no one who could compare to that alluring color, of course, this was excluding His Royal Highness, Prince Yi, Ao Chenyi. Who dared to criticize His Royal Highness, Prince Yi’s appearance? Even if he was a Handsome Demon, he was also the Asura Demon King from Hell. May I ask who dared to face the bewitching and bloodthirsty Demon King?
When Ning Xueyan passed by Wen Xueran, Wen Xueran was teasingly blinking at a young lady who was admiring plum blossoms not far away, watching the shy blush that appeared on that fair and tender face. He happily shook the folding fan in his hand, and then turned his head to flirt with another beauty who was secretly looking at him with her eyebrows.
He was very busy!
A handsome and romantic man, if he looked at a woman with an interested gaze, the woman would be shy and blush.
Suddenly, Wen Xueran stopped the folding fan in his hand, turned his head to look at Ning Xueyan, and a glimmer of light flashed in his beautiful peach blossom eyes, but it was immediately submerged after the lustrous eye color. He then looked Ning Xueyan up and down with interest. Through the veil, Ning Xueyan even saw him specially showing her a bewitching smile.
This Prince Min’s Heir actually dared to flirt with his “Favored Concubine” in front of Ao Chenyi, truly overbearing!
Ning Xueyan pretended not to see and, with perfect bearing in the eyes of everyone, walked towards Ao Chenyi.
She was wearing a light black dress, with several gorgeous peony flowers on the hem of the skirt, and an outer coat of the same color gauze dress. Her face was also covered with a thin veil. From the outside, only a pair of smiling beautiful eyes could be seen. The result of looking at flowers in the mist, everyone knew that under the veil was a beautiful face. It made people very curious about what the appearance of Prince Yi’s Favored Concubine was like.
But even though there were many people who were curious, no one dared to take the initiative to strike up a conversation. Only Wen Xueran, who was rather indifferent, flirted with her.
Ning Xueyan really didn’t know whether this person was really careless or was used to being romantic, which was completely an unconscious action.
When she walked to Ao Chenyi’s side and was ready to sit down smilingly, she was completely under no pressure about this!
Before, when she was at the women’s seats, she had also carefully observed that “Favored Concubine”. In fact, it was really simple to play this “Favored Concubine”. As long as she sat next to Ao Chenyi, didn’t say anything, didn’t do anything, and acted like a wooden person, it would be fine.
Ao Chenyi should have only taken her as a shield, just to make people think there was such a person.
What she didn’t expect was that just as she was about to sit down, the languidly seated Prince beside her directly reached out and, in a rather intimate manner, brushed away a plum blossom on her long hair. Then, with a flip of his hand, in Ning Xueyan’s unbelievable gaze, he reached out his hand and pulled her in. She was embraced in his arms.
Ning Xueyan hadn’t guarded against his action. She stumbled and bumped straight into him. In the eyes of outsiders, it was a complete throw oneself into arms. No wonder His Royal Highness, Prince Yi, who was always cold-blooded and ruthless, would choose such a Favored Concubine. So passionate, she really wasn’t someone that ordinary people could handle. Many people couldn’t help but show a knowing smile on their faces, secretly looking at them.
The chair was big enough for two people to sit together. Moreover, Ning Xueyan was considered to be sitting on his lap. Her waist was tightly embraced by his strong hand. She even had to lean against his arms. Where could she struggle? Of course, she couldn’t struggle at this time either.
Her head was buried in his broad arms. She could vaguely feel his cold breath. This person’s blood was really cold.
Even in this situation, his breathing was stable without the slightest fluctuation.
So, although Ning Xueyan wanted to bite someone in anger, she also knew what he certainly wanted to do. Fortunately, she was now wearing clothes that were completely tight, otherwise she would really not be a person.
This person was really overbearing to the extreme. He didn’t ask if she agreed, and he showed such an intimate attitude in front of everyone.
Of course, Ning Xueyan also knew that her agreement or disagreement had never caused any waves in this Prince’s heart. So, she slightly moved a couple of times, expressing her displeasure. Ning Xueyan simply blushed and buried her head in his arms, comforting herself. No one knew this person was herself, so there was no need to be embarrassed.
But for the first time, she was tightly embraced with a man in front of so many people. Even though Ning Xueyan was calm and composed, she was ultimately just a young girl of her teenage years who was unmarried. She blushed and gasped for breath, feeling uneasy all over. Although she repeatedly warned herself not to care, her heart still palpitated.
In her previous life, she and Xia Yuhang were engaged, but the two of them were so well-mannered that they didn’t even hold hands. Not to mention the situation today. Her whole head was a bit buzzing, and only the deep and gorgeous chuckle was in her ears, like the most beautiful music, which made her dizzy. She subconsciously clenched her hands tightly.
“Uncle and… have such a good relationship. I didn’t expect that after not seeing each other for so many days, Uncle is still so fond.” Suddenly, it was the voice of the Third Prince, Ao Mingyu, that immediately made Ning Xueyan sober up from her dizziness. Her ears couldn’t help but stretch out, listening to the following words. Ao Chenyi really wouldn’t do such a thing for no reason.
Ao Mingyu didn’t know how to address Ning Xueyan either, so he simply spoke in a vague voice, and said with a smile to Ao Chenyi, his gaze resting on Ning Xueyan with an intention. Before, he also felt that this Favored Concubine was a little too restrained today, and whether there was a problem. Before he could figure it out, this Favored Concubine had recovered the intimacy of that day with Ao Chenyi.
Could it be that she maintained that kind of etiquette earlier because Mother Consort and Consort Shu were there!
It seemed that Ao Chenyi really liked this woman, so it was extremely important to investigate the identity of this woman!
“Where fondness lies!” Ao Chenyi’s words were always concise and to the point. Although he couldn’t see the slightest look of fondness on his face, no matter what, he brought a woman to the palace banquet for the first time, which showed that this matter was unusual.
“Uncle, today’s guests are all noble Direct Daughters from various mansions. Has Uncle taken a fancy to anyone?” In dealing with Ao Chenyi, the Fourth Prince, Ao Mingwan, was on the same side as the Third Prince. He asked with a smile at this time. Since Ao Chenyi valued this woman so much, women are all jealous. Knowing that Ao Chenyi came to select Concubines, they certainly wouldn’t let it go.
Before, it was also heard that Prince Yi and his Favored Concubine had a fight. At that time, it was when the Emperor ordered the Prince Yi’s Mansion to send beauties, which showed that this beauty was very jealous!
“Not beautiful!” Ao Chenyi held Ning Xueyan in one hand and picked up the wine on the table with the other, took a sip, and said with a faint eye color.
Not beautiful, a sentence said that the Young Masters of aristocratic families present almost spat blood. These beauties were everywhere, but he actually said that they were not beautiful. How could this let people live? If these words were said by others, it would certainly cause many people to be unconvinced, but now it was said by Prince Yi, those people could only disdain in secret, but didn’t dare to say much.
“Could it be that, Uncle’s is more beautiful? I wonder if the nephews can open their eyes?” Ao Mingyu asked with a smile next.
He believed that as long as he saw this beauty, he would certainly be able to find out who she was. Maybe she could also become a useful pawn for him. No woman could get close to Ao Chenyi. In the past, the beauties he sent out, or the beauties sent from the palace, not to mention getting close to Ao Chenyi, it was impossible even to get close to him.
He thought that he was completely heartless and did not like women. Now, it didn’t seem like it!
Moreover, today, in front of everyone, Ao Chenyi couldn’t directly refuse the face of him, the Third Prince of the current dynasty!
But unfortunately, this one really didn’t give Ao Mingyu any face at all.
“Impossible!” Prince Yi said faintly, his eye color exuding an eerie gorgeousness and bewitching, but it was also cold and cold when it landed on people, “How can my Beloved Concubine be seen casually?”
The Third Prince’s face turned red, both shy and annoyed. He was a Prince, and he was also a Prince with a lot of voice among the Court Officials. Now, he was directly refused in front of everyone, and his face was a little unbearable.
“Uncle, how can I see her?” Suppressing the rage in his heart, Ao Mingyu still asked with a smile. The price, he believed that as long as the price was high enough, there was no woman he couldn’t get, not to mention a Concubine who didn’t even have a name.
“You, are you willing to see the Third Prince?” Ao Chenyi suddenly smiled evilly, his gaze falling on Ao Mingyu’s confident face. With a corner of his mouth, he reached out and patted Ning Xueyan on the shoulder, and asked in a soft voice. These words were like asking Ning Xueyan, giving Ning Xueyan enough respect, but unfortunately Ning Xueyan was gritting her teeth in anger.
Was she able to speak? Today was different from the past. She was afraid that if she opened her mouth, someone would recognize her. That bewitching Prince Min’s Heir, Wen Xueran, had been smilingly looking at her with his eyes, the way he looked was very eerie, and it also increasingly reminded herself to be careful and cautious.
Why didn’t he ask before when that “Favored Concubine” was there, but just when she came to play her role.
This person was really hateful!
It was impossible not to pay attention to Ao Mingyu. It didn’t matter if Ao Chenyi himself left Ao Mingyu there, who made him not only a generation senior to Ao Mingyu, but also had overwhelming power, but she was now just a nameless and statusless Favored Concubine. No matter from which aspect, she didn’t have the courage and couldn’t neglect Ao Mingyu.
But what should she do now, so that she could neither expose herself nor neglect Ao Mingyu…
