Chapter 1378: The Battered And Miserable Xiao Qing IVTranslator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Feng Ruqing pondered for a bit. “I think something like that did happen…”
Qing Zhu"s eyes were filled with grievance.
So… after being left behind for so long, neither one of this dumb couple ever thought of him?
His life sure was hard with such masters…
Feng Ruqing walked toward Qing Zhu, picked him up, and tossed him to the palace maid standing nearby.
“Go and wash him up. Remember to remove that cuckoo"s nest on his head.”
Qing Zhu was dumbstruck.
Did the princess not hear anything he had just said?
“Master!”
The enraged Qing Zhu quickly looked up at Nan Xian.
But…
At that moment, Nan Xian"s expression was dark and that made the snake"s heart fall to his stomach. The flames of his anger were miraculously extinguished.
‘Oh no!"
Could his sudden appearance have disrupted his master"s plans?
But, it was broad daylight now!
Dumb couple!
To even think of doing such illicit behaviors when it was still so bright out, they really were a dumb couple!
Qing Zhu was dragged away by the palace maid with hatred in his eyes, and they soon disappeared under the clear blue skies…
Feng Ruqing shrugged and turned to look at Nan Xian. “Qing Zhu had had such a miserable time, we should treat him a little better in the future.”
Gentleness returned to Nan Xian"s face upon hearing the girl"s words. He smiled and said, “Alright, we"ll do as you say.”
Feng Ruqing sighed. “Who knows what Qing Zhu has gone through this whole time when he was not with us. He has even brought back a cuckoo"s nest. Nan Xian, do you know any female snakes… to introduce to Qing Zhu?”
Nan Xian paused. “There was a king cobra in the desert that once courted Qing Zhu, but Qing Zhu was not willing to stay in the desert, so he ran away.”
“Oh, that won"t be a problem. Ask if the king cobra is willing to come to our Liu Yun Kingdom. If she"s willing, then she and Qing Zhu can finally be with each other. Then, he would stop coming to disturb us,” said Feng Ruqing, smiling.
Nan Xian was quiet. Should he tell her that… Qing Zhu was unwilling not only because he disliked the desert, but also… he was once ravaged by that king cobra…
However, when he saw how excited Feng Ruqing was, he said no more and smiled as he caressed her head. “Alright, let"s do as you say. I"ll get someone to bring the king cobra over later.”
Qing Zhu…
Just let him hide for some time.
Ever since that morning a.s.sembly in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the whole of Liu Yun Kingdom was never again peaceful.
First, the return of the prince had resulted in the door of the prince"s manor being torn down by the ministers who had all rushed to see him, wanting to marry their daughters off as Feng Chen"s consorts.
The young ladies of Liu Yun Kingdom were not a reserved generation. Whenever they saw an eligible bachelor, they would never sit still. Yet the funny thing was, no young lady showed up at all when the ministers tore down the prince"s manor"s door.
At that moment, in the hall of Paramount.
The young ladies were dressed in exquisite and magnificent clothes while their faces were filled with freckles, layered on top of their makeup. They looked almost identical.
“I heard that the princess has deep connections with Paramount, so she would definitely come here. I"ll just have to stay here and I"ll be able to meet the princess!”
“Did you know how she has defeated those powerful enemies from other countries? Just one look at her and I have fallen in so deep I can"t even pull myself away. I think she"s so much cooler than any man in this world!”
“Quick, help me take a look if my freckles have faded! The princess likes freckles, and since I have so many now, she is sure to look my way.”
“And me, me! The princess complimented a two hundred and fifty-pound fatty before, saying she was cute. I have gained fifty pounds on purpose, so I wonder if the princess will find me cute too…”
