Feng Qing escorted Luo Qianqian in the Imperial Palace, Luo Qianqian was amazed Feng Qing knew the way so well in this mazelike palace. Luo Qianqian didnât remember the way at all even though she had been to the palace once for the emperorâs birthday.
Luo Qianqian went to greet Her Highness Imperial Noble Consort first in Red Joy Palace, Murong Xue was waiting for Luo Qianqian already, they agreed to go to the Flower Admiring Gathering to keep each other company.
Luo Qianqian felt happy on the way to Red Joy Palace, she liked to spend time with Imperial Noble Consort. She found there was some dust on her sleeve under a palace lantern, she wouldnât be bothered if it were some other day, but this day she was going to see the Imperial Noble Consort, so she stopped and whisked away the dust.
But a strangerâs face came to her sight when she raised her head.
Luo Qianqian slapped this person who emerged out of nowhere!
âOuch!â that person groaned. In hindsight, Luo Qianqian realized she might have slapped this person a little too hard than necessary, especially now she was a whole lot more stronger than normal people since she had been learning martial arts.
But she didnât regret it, not after she had recognized who this âstrangerâ was. Actually she had recognized this person before she slapped him, it was the Crown Prince Mu Chaoyang.
Luo Qianqian hated it that Mu Chaoyang was standing right next to her and it looked like Mu Chaoyang was ready to come even closer if Luo Qianqian hadnât slapped him.
Feng Qing turned around after he heard Mu Chaoyangâs groan, he soon figured what had happened, Mu Chaoyang tried to approach Her Highness and Her Highness defended herself so well.
Feng Qing couldnât help applauding for Luo Qianqian in his heart, âWell done, Your Highness! Iâm so proud of you, Iâm sure my master will clap for you too!â
Mu Chaoyang was still groaning after quite a little while.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Luo Qianqian took a few steps forward and pretended she had just recognized him, âAmida Buddha, itâs you, Crown Prince!â
And the next second she pretended she was so guilty, âI am so sorry, Your Highness. Itâs so dark and I couldnât make out who it is, I thought you were some assassin lurking in the Palace. Iâm so sorry for what I have done, Your Highness!â
No warned, no fault.
What Luo Qianqian said sounded so real and convincing, Mu Chaoyang had no reason to not believe her, let alone to punish her.
Mu Chaoyang was actually somewhat glad that Luo Qianqian wasnât giving him a poker face now, yes, the slap was painful, but it was worth it.
Mu Chaoyang shook his hand and said, âNo, itâs my fault, I was trying to pull a prank and startle you, itâs my fault, have I startled you, Qianqian?â
Luo Qianqian frowned on hearing âQianqianâ.
She fought back the urge to slap Mu Chaoyang again, âYour Highness, have you forgotten already? Weâve talked about this, donât call me Qianqian again, itâs not proper.â with that Luo Qianqian exchanged a look with Feng Qing who was walking this way, Feng Qing halted on getting Luo Qianqianâs signal.
Feng Qing snickered, he knew Luo Qianqian was going to tease Mu Chaoyang.
Mu Chaoyang didnât want to risk this opportunity of getting to know more of Luo Qianqian, he laughed and changed the way he addressed Luo Qianqian, âYeah, I indeed have forgotten. How about Fourth Lady? Please donât get me wrong, I just want to get to know you more and be close to you⦠â¦â
âClose to me?â
âClose your axx?â
âI donât like the sound of it at all! I am engaged already, to your brother! What a scumbag are you? Trying to get close to your future sister-in-law?â
Luo Qianqian put on a fake smile, âI donât think itâs necessary. I need to excuse myself now, Her Highness Imperial Noble Consort is still waiting for me in Red Joy Palace.â
With that Luo Qianqian left, she had no intention to spend one more second with that Mu Chaoyang, it baffled her why that Mu Chaoyang was still pressing ahead with his sinister âseducing Luo Qianqianâ designs.
The more she loathed Mu Chaoyang, the more she appreciated Murong Yun, and she blamed herself for thinking about Murong Yun again.
With that she walked past Mu Chaoyang.
âHey, young lady over there, the Crown Prince doesnât say you can leave now, come back already!â one of Mu Chaoyangâs flunkey shouted at Luo Qianqian, but Luo Qianqian had totally ignored that.
Mu Chaoyang turned around and scolded the flunkey, âWho do you think you are talking to? Thatâs the Fourth Lady of Prime Minister Luoâs, she gets to do whatever she wants.â
The more aloof Luo Qianqian was, the more Mu Chaoyang fell for her, Mu Chaoyang had never felt this way before.
âFourth Lady, I understand you are busy at the moment, but can I request the pleasure of your company after the the Flower Admiring Gathering?â Mu Chaoyang was unwilling to give up.
Luo Qianqianâs lips twitched, she couldnât believe how stubborn Mu Chaoyang was being. She kept on walking and ignored Mu Chaoyangâs question.
She couldnât believe Mu Chaoyang couldnât tell she hated him.
Luo Yuyan and Hongyu arrived at the palace now, this was the fourth time that Luo Yuyan had been to the palace, so she knew the way well.
Luo Yuyan kept asking Hongyu about her makeup and outfit.
Hongyu comforted her lady, âYou look gorgeous today, people are here for the Flower Admiring Gathering, but in my opinion, you are that flower that deserves to be admired.â
Hearing that, Luo Yuyan beamed with smiles, âI only want to be admired by one person tonight, the Crown Prince.â
âDonât worry, my lady, I;m sure the Crown Prince canât take his eyes off you!â
âHongyuâ¦â, Luo Yuyan meant to ask Hongyu one more question but Hongyu halted and covered Luo Yuyanâs mouth, âMy lady, the Crown Prince is right there!â
Luo Yuyan quickened her steps and bowed to Mu Chaoyang, âGreetings, Your Highness.â
Luo Yuyanâs outfit was specially selected, it was a low cut design with a push up effect on the chest⦠â¦
