Chapter 227 - With Great Pleasure
While the other women were busy showing off their best side, Yun Qianyu was busy looking at Xiao Jiuyuan. As expected by Yun Qianyu, Xiao Jiuyuan’s face was dark and gloomy while his eyes seemed cold.
The others may not know, but Yun Qianyu knew why Xiao Jiuyuan looked so displeased. It was all because someone had beaten him up, kicked him off a carriage and stole his commander’s tally.
Never would he have dreamed that Yun Qianyu was the one who had beaten him up and stolen his commander’s tally.
The more Yun Qianyu thought about it, the better her mood got. This type of joy was very interesting to Yun Qianyu.
Not only Yun Qianyu, but even Little Bell and Hua Mei were in a better mood for some reason. However, they dared not look too much at Xiao Jiuyuan, lest he noticed anything strange.
Sitting beside Yun Qianyu was Yan Qingfeng of the Yan Bei family. Ever since Xiao Jiuyuan appeared, Yan Qingfeng’s attention had been focused on him, her eyes never leaving his face.
Indeed, Yan Qingfeng liked Xiao Jiuyuan.
Yan Qingfeng was not afraid to be killed. In fact, she was willing to be appointed to be Xiao Jiuyuan’s princess consort.
However, as the eldest daughter of one of the four families, she knew that she was meant to become a concubine to the emperor. Yan Qingfeng felt a little helpless, so she could only hide her feelings for Xiao Jiuyuan. However, every time Xiao Jiuyuan would appear, her eyes could not help following him.
To her, Xiao Jiuyuan was a real man.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt frustrated that she was the eldest young miss of the Yan Bei family.
After looking around, the crown prince Xiao Tianyu said, “Let’s get it started.”
Chiang Yuxi immediately motioned to the ladies to find a seat and sit down.
Seeing that everyone was looking for seats, Yun Qianyu and Yan Qingfeng also went over.
As the two walked toward their seats, they passed by Xiao Jiuyuan.
Yan Qingfeng took a careful glance at Xiao Jiuyuan and saw that he seemed to be in a bad mood. His black pupils seemed even more chilly than usual. This made Yan Qingfeng subconsciously feel uneasy and she quickly walked past him.
Following Yan Qingfeng, Yun Qianyu intended not to greet Xiao Jiuyuan.
‘Since this guy doesn’t like seeing me, why should I pay attention to him?’
However, her actions annoyed Xiao Jiuyuan even more. ‘I’m right in front of her and yet she doesn’t even greet me! Is this woman blind?’
His heart was filled with anger as he looked at how Yun Qianyu had completely ignored his presence. Immediately, his long arm blocked Yun Qianyu’s way and he let out a sarcastic remark, “Are you blind?”
Yun Qianyu’s lips twitched a little. She then turned to Xiao Jiuyuan with a pleasant look on her face and asked, “Your Highness, you sound a little harsh. Are you in a bad mood?”
Clearly, these words were bringing up some terrible memories in Xiao Jiuyuan. Immediately, Xiao Jiuyuan thought about how he had been beaten up and mugged the previous night. Anger filled him as his breathing became faster and faster. As though lightning was shooting out of his eyes, Xiao Jiuyuan glared at Yun Qianyu. “You seem very happy about it!”
His words made Yun Qianyu feel even more pleasure.
However, on the surface, she still maintained a solemn look, “How could I? I am just worried about Your Highness. If Your Highness is not in a good mood, how could I be happy?”
The fact was, she was really enjoying this. ‘I’m loving it!’
