Chapter 225 - Accompany Her to See Flowers Flying All Over the Sky

Qi Liange still saw the person he wanted to see urgently in his mind in the team although he was still far away.

She was so dazzling, eye-catching, and distinctive as before.

“Aoxue… You are finally here.” He opened his thin lips gently, but no voice was heard. His long and slim peach-blossom-like eyes were bent with a beautiful arc, only staring at the very person he wanted to see.

Seeing such a great scene in front of them, Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan looked at each other unanimously.

Staring at Qi Liange who was so outstanding and dazzling in front of him, Jun Yeyan snorted coldly, thinking in his mind that it was such a pity to leave him alive last time, or else he wouldn’t dare to make a splash to look at his Xue so licentiously now.

He felt so uncomfortable and wanted to blind his calculating eyes with a hard poke!

However, Bai Aoxue understood Qi Liange’s lip language and knew what he said. For Qi Liange who acted like this, she frowned without trace, hoping that he would not make her in trouble.

If he was still like that, then she really couldn’t make friends with Qi Liange anymore.

She…, didn’t want to lose Qi Liange as a friend, but if she had to make a choice between Jun Yeyan and Qi Liange, her answer would be definitely Jun Yeyan, who was also her only choice!

After all, most of the time, you couldn’t eat your cake and have it too.

“Xue, don’t pay attention to that hypocrite.” Jun Yeyan lightly said while looking at Bai Aoxue.

But his annoyed expression in his eyes betrayed him and showed his emotion.

Bai Aoxue smiled slightly.

“Don’t worry. I have nothing to talk with him.” Bai Aoxue’s indifferent and ethereal tone was soft and warm, comforting Jun Yeyan’s annoyance greatly.

Hearing the words of Bai Aoxue, Jun Yeyan, who had been a little annoyed, was reassured and pacified totally.

Seeing that Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan looked at each other and smiled, Qi Liange was no longer so happy as before in an instant. The smile in his eyes disappeared a lot.

Yes… Now Aoxue didn’t belong to him! And she was now even the princess of that dirty dog!

But it didn’t matter… He would be able to take back Bai Aoxue in a short while, and she would be his princess and his empress!

While he was thinking like this, Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan had approached already.

Of course, Bai Aoxue saw Qi Muyuan, who wore a happy face among this group of people who followed Qi Liange to meet her. Bai Aoxue gently nodded to her and then jumped down from the horse with Jun Yeyan.

Many officials following Qi Liange to come over finally had the chance to witness the notorious 5th prince and the legendary 5th Princess in Chengxi Dynasty!

And Bai Aoxue’s gentle smile at Jun Yeyan just now had been firmly imprinted in the minds of many people. They had seen a lot of stunning beauties.

The current crown princess, Zi Xi, who once lived in the Prime Minister’s mansion, was the most beautiful woman of the Nanyue Dynasty. Because she was gentle and virtuous, many people adored her and cherished her as a peerless pearl.

She was as beautiful as Qi Muyuan, their princess of the Nanyue Dynasty, who was also a rare beauty. She was elfish and intelligent. The first glance would refresh people definitely.

But when they saw Bai Aoxue dressed in red at this moment, who was riding a white horse, they had forgotten all the other beauties already.

It was not that those beauties were not as beautiful as Bai Aoxue, but something special distinguished Bai Aoxue from them, which they did not have.

For that thing…, the current ruler called it aggressiveness or stateliness.

Her long and narrow phoenix-like eyes slightly turned, and the wanton flowing light was frightening, but with a cold and arrogant momentum. Her face was tranquil and indifferent, but with alienation which made people feel unreachable. It seemed that her delicate features were favored by the creator, who had given her all the best and the most beautiful things.

There was elegant generosity in every movement.

Her figure was as slim and graceful as a frightened swan goose. Even her action of rolling over and dismounting was an extreme feast for the eyes.

Compared with Bai Aoxue, Jun Yeyan beside her dimmed a lot.

Many people stared at Bai Aoxue, but they forgot Jun Yeyan beside her, who was just standing beside her as if serving as a contrast at this time.

“Welcome the 5th prince and the 5th Princess, who have come from afar!” Qi Liange engraved Bai Aoxue’s appearance to the bottom of his heart, and he was the first to come to his senses. He took a few steps forward and greeted them, saying.

Hearing Qi Liange say like this, many officials began to focus on Jun Yeyan beside Bai Aoxue.

At this moment, Jun Yeyan was absent in the feeling of cynicism and indifference as before when he was in Chengxi Dynasty.

As long as people watched him, they could not look away.

Compared with Bai Aoxue, someone must have viewed them as the same person but for their different faces, figures, and genders.

Because they were too similar to each other in their temperament. Their indifferent, disdainful, and cold expressions were almost the same.

“Prince Peerless, you are too polite. It’s indeed my honor to participate in your reign ceremony with my princess.” Jun Yeyan replied indifferently while looking at Qi Liange.

There was not a flaw in his words which were placid and modest.

Indeed, any inability and cynicism couldn’t be felt at all by others.

This made the officials of the Nanyue Dynasty question the validity of those rumors spontaneously.

In contrast, Qi Liange appeared to be much calmer with no surprise. He just looked at Jun Yeyan and said calmly, “The 5th prince, you are so polite… As the saying goes, courtesy demands reciprocity. You presented me such a big gift when we were in the Chengxi Dynasty, so I will pay it back now.”

Jun Yeyan slightly raised the corners of his mouth and said with an indifferent smile, “Prince Peerless, you are so kind. Please allow me to express my thanks to you first.”

Hearing the words of Jun Yeyan, Qi Liange narrowed his peach-blossom-like eyes slightly, but his face did not change greatly.

“The 5th prince and the 5th Princess must be fatigued by a long journey and need to have a good rest just after your arrival in Nanyue Dynasty. The emperor has asked me to arrange everything for you. We are only waiting for you to check in and have a rest.” An old man standing beside Qi Liange hurriedly stood out and said respectfully after he observed the strangeness of the situation between them.

The originally secret stalemate between Jun Yeyan and Qi Liange was interrupted by the man already.

Qi Liange glanced at the old man unhappily, but he said nothing.

“This is Liu Muwei, the Prime Minister of our dynasty. Since the 5th prince and the 5th Princess have come from afar, you are very welcome in our Nanyue Dynasty, and everything will be done by Prime Minister Liu.” Qi Liange removed his previous appearance and said with delight just like bathing in the spring wind.

Looking at Prime Minister Liu, Jun Yeyan had already known in his mind that the seemingly unsophisticated and righteous man in front of him was actually a mean person, who could learn about the secret grudge between him and Qi Liange in such a short time and react rapidly. Such a person was not simple at all.

“Ho… Sorry to bother you, Prime Minister Liu. I don’t feel tired at all, but my beloved princess indeed feels a little tired. So, could you please show us the way to rest, Prime Minister Liu?” Jun Yeyan said frivolously with his narrow and long phoenix-like eyes raised slightly, and even his look at Bai Aoxue was kind of defiant.

On hearing Jun Yeyan say like this, Bai Aoxue’s mouth was twitched fiercely. Jun Yeyan’s illocutionary meaning was very clear to others once they heard his words. Bai Aoxue swore at Jun Yeyan in her heart fiercely, while she still shyly turned her head on the surface.

Watching Bai Aoxue’s reaction like this, Qi Liange was inexplicably furious instantly in his mind. He saw that Jun Yeyan seemed to be showing off before him. If they were not in public at this time, he would really want to kill Jun Yeyan now!

What? He wanted to show off his happiness before him? Well, since he liked to show off, it would not matter that he let Jun Yeyan show off for a few days. Bai Aoxue would belong to him sooner or later!

“Prime Minister Liu, in this case, then please lead the way for the 5th prince and the 5th Princess. I still have some onerous affairs to handle in the Imperial Palace, so you are responsible to bring our distinguished guests of our Nanyue Dynasty to our banquet in the Imperial Palace.” Qi Liange smiled gently and said. The cinnabar mole between his eyebrows was more beautiful and coquettish than before.

“I understand.” Although Prime Minister Liu didn’t know in his mind why the crown prince’s mood changed so greatly, he couldn’t think it over carefully at this time because something more important was waiting for him to deal with, after all.

Bai Aoxue had thought that everything had been settled, and now she just needed to have a rest and wait for the banquet in the evening. So, she was relieved a lot with her high hanging heart dropping.

When she was about to turn around and leave, a voice like a spring breeze sounded. It was warm and gentle with some inexplicable emotions.

“Aoxue, peach blossoms in the Beiyang Mountain have withered already. What a pity this time!”

Bai Aoxue was slightly shocked, and those officials who originally intended to leave with Qi Liange were more shocked than Bai Aoxue. They all looked at Qi Liange inconceivably.

But Qi Liange seemed not to care about it, and he was still staring at the back of Bai Aoxue.

When all the people thought that Bai Aoxue would keep silent, however, she smiled gently and calmly. She put one arm around the arm of Jun Yeyan and turned around to look at Qi Liange.

“Just as Prince Peerless said, it is such a pity indeed, but peach blossoms can flower every year. Even if we can’t see it this time, we can wait for another time. I believe that the 5th prince will accompany me to see flowers flying all over the sky at that time.”

Her tone was airy and indifferent, with some alienation, but very earnest.

Her words were meaningful. Qi Liange understood them, and so did Jun Yeyan.

Qi Liange’s hands under his sleeves were grasped and loosened repeatedly several times, and even he himself felt ridiculous. But Jun Yeyan began to speak.

“I think that Prince Peerless still doesn’t know that my courtyard filled with jacaranda trees is the place where snowflakes would like to fall down.” Jun Yeyan said as if he was casual with his fingers bent a little.

But Qi Liange was irritated immediately for Jun Yeyan’s seemingly casual words!

“Brother.” Watching Qi Liange, Qi Muyuan shouted in a low voice with some concern.

Hearing Qi Muyuan’s worried shout, Qi Liange drew himself completely back from the brink of rage.

“Ho-ho… Jacaranda? Who knows whether snowflakes are willing to fall down on earth or not? Do you think so, the 5th prince?” Qi Liange laughed brightly and said indifferently.

Watching Qi Liange’s changes, those officials were all wondering in their hearts whether the crown prince was angry on earth or not just now.

Qi Muyuan didn’t expect that his brother was so impulsive, but she was very sympathetic towards him at the same time.

Looking at the figures of Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan, Qi Muyuan thought that they really matched each other very much. But since his brother was so affectionate, she didn’t want his brother to get hurt for Bai Aoxue. But at the same time, she didn’t want to make Bai Aoxue feel awkward!

“Ho… There will be ample time.” Qi Liange said confidently. After saying, he turned around and left.

Those officials also followed Qi Liange to leave, while some of them, who were forethoughtful, were looking at Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan as if thinking of something.

“The 5th prince and the 5th Princess, follow me, please.”
