Chapter 447 - b.a.s.t.a.r.ds and MenIn the Dragon City"s Imperial Palace"s backyard, the night sky was as bright as the stars, and under the light of the stars, the scenery of the Moon Embracing Hall was as dreamy as if it was a dream. It was truly beautiful.
At this moment, in the Moon Embracing Hall, in a pool of green water, a small boat was emitting ripples. A palace maid was holding an oar in her hand as she gently glided across the surface of the boat.
At the end of the boat, there was a square table, on it were exquisite tea dishes, and a small round stove. At the back and back of the square table, there were two praying mats.
"Fei, thank you for accompanying me these past few days. You are my only friend in the Imperial Palace."Dressed in a long purple dress, the woman had a picturesque appearance and a cold and serene temperament. The corner of her mouth carried a dazzling and enchanting smile as she poured hot tea for the girl in front of her.
Sitting in front of the woman was a tall woman wearing a black skintight dress. Her black hair was unadorned, but it was simply behind her head. She was as beautiful as a fairy without any makeup.
Her demeanor was equally cold, but she was different from the violet-robed woman.
The green-robed woman"s coldness seemed gentle and amiable, but it was actually a distance of a thousand miles. This woman gave off a bone-piercing coldness. She was like a cold plum that couldn"t be approached!A pool of jade water, two beauties, sailing on a boat, it was truly a beautiful scene within the Moon Embracing Hall!
Picking up the teacup handed to her by the purple-dressed woman, the girl in black gently took a sip and the corner of her mouth revealed a rare curve."Sister Yue Ji"s tea ceremony is indeed extraordinary, higher than those old masters who call themselves tea masters in the palace. No wonder I don"t want to leave the Moon Embracing Hall every time I stay. It seems like Sister Yue Ji"s tea is too attractive."
"Hehe …" When the purple-clothed woman heard this, she couldn"t help but cover her lips and laugh. In that instant, her flirtatiousness was like a snow lotus blooming on an iceberg, causing all the flowers to pale in comparison!
"I didn"t expect Fei to have learnt to be so displeasing to the heart. To think that she would use all these nice words to say to me."
"Actually, sister truly wants to thank you. In the palace, only you know your sister"s suffering, and only you will help me. On one side is me, and on the other is your father. Your sister knows, but you are actually in a very difficult situation."
Hearing this, the black clothed woman"s expression did not change as she faintly said.
"Sister Yueji, you don"t need to say these things anymore. You know my personality, as long as I think this matter is wrong, even if he is my royal father, I will not side with him. Not to mention that you are my friend!"
The purple-clothed woman was the new Imperial Concubine to the current Emperor of the Wind and Cloud Nation, the Princess of the Water Moon Kingdom, Yun Yue Ji, and the black-clothed woman was none other than the sixth princess of the imperial court, Xiang Fei.
Hearing Xiang Fei"s words, Yun Yue"s expression changed as a hint of grat.i.tude flashed across her eyes. However, she immediately smiled and said.
"Alright, let"s not talk about these unhappy topics. Two days ago, I heard from Lian-er that there was a rumor circulating in the palace and the people that a prince was coming to Dragon City. I heard that it caused a great stir, so why is that?"
Perhaps this was the nature of women and they loved gossiping. Moreover, the women who stayed in the palace walls and courtyards were naturally very curious about these new things in the outside world.
After all, there were many princes and va.s.sal lords in the Xiang clan. The next generation"s heir, the princess, numbered in the hundreds. Compared to the emperor"s son, these princes and princesses were clearly lower in status.
But why was it that a crown prince hadn"t even arrived at Dragon City? Just a single message from ten thousand miles away was enough to cause the Dragon City to be thrown into a storm. As the princess of the Shuiyue Kingdom, Yunyue Ji was very puzzled.
When she heard Yun Yue Ji ask this question, Xiang Fei, who always had a calm expression, burst out laughing. Her laughter was very natural, without the slightest falsehood. She even coughed a couple of times because she had choked on her tea."Cough cough!"
"Fei, are you alright? What happened?" Yun Yue"s face was filled with concern as she curiously asked.
Xiang Fei was still smiling as she asked, "Big Sister Yue Ji, you"re talking about the one who"s about to rush to Dragon City from the northwest border, Crown Prince Xiang Yun, right?"Yun Yue frowned for a moment and then suddenly nodded. "That"s the name you"re talking about to Lian-er."
Xiang Fei didn"t know whether to laugh or cry as she said, "I didn"t expect this fellow to be so famous after leaving Dragon City for so long. His reputation has really spread far and wide."
"Fei, do you know this Crown Prince? Is he special? "
"I know him, of course I know him. He"s special, very special!"
Xiang Fei"s answer was rather strange, and this sentence completely piqued Yun Yue"s curiosity. She pulled at her cheeks with both hands, looking at Xiang Fei as if she were listening to a story, waiting for her to tell it.Xiang Fei then asked, "Big Sister Yue Ji, do you know of our Wind Cloud Kingdom"s Peac.o.c.k King?"
"Of course I know. He"s the war G.o.d of your Wind Cloud Country, and he"s also the hero who defeated the alliance of ten nations and the barbarian race. I"ve heard of his name since I was in the Shuiyue Kingdom, but I"ve never met him."
Xiang Fei smiled and said, "Then you know that my uncle is much simpler. Xiang Yun is his third son, and also my younger cousin."
"Wow, so this prince is actually the son of the War G.o.d. No wonder his arrival caused such a commotion." Yun Yue said.
However, Xiang Fei shook her head with a smile as she spoke with a mysterious expression."Sister Yueji, you"ve guessed wrongly. This fellow was able to cause such a commotion, but he didn"t rely on my uncle"s reputation at all. This is a reputation he created himself."
"Oh." Yun Yue was slightly startled when she heard this. Immediately, her eyes lit up as she said.
"Could it be that this crown prince is a young hero who has already established his ill.u.s.trious reputation in the Windy Nation?"
"Haha …" Xiang Fei finally couldn"t hold back her laughter when she heard Yunyue Ji"s words. It was as if the flower had blossomed again, and even Yunyue Ji was stunned by it. She had never seen Xiang Fei laugh so happily before."Sister Yueji, if he heard you praise him like that, he would be so excited that he wouldn"t be able to sleep for three days and three nights. Furthermore, he"s not that famous, he"s just notorious!"
"Aiya, Fei, don"t keep me in suspense. Hurry up and tell me, the more you talk, the more curious I am. Quickly tell me, what kind of person is this Crown Prince? Are you familiar with him?"
At this moment, Yunyue Ji was like a curious baby. Her beautiful eyes were wide open as she tightly held Xiang Fei"s hand, asking her to tell the story of the crown prince.
Xiang Fei laughed as she drank a mouthful of tea before beginning to tell Yun Yue Ji about this legendary life of His Highness the crown prince that had caused so much chaos in the Dragon City.
First, when he heard that Xiang Yun had grabbed a woman"s red undergarment and wouldn"t let go even if she were to be beaten to death, he didn"t know whether to laugh or cry. His face, which was as white as snow, was slightly flushed.Afterwards, Xiang Fei continued her narration. Xiang Yun"s upbringing began once more. She recounted how small of a person he had been back in Dragon City, how he had entered the land of fireworks at such a young age, sought after flowers, and danced with the wind and moon …
As he grew older, he gathered together a bunch of dog friends, calling himself the "Dragon City"s Twin Demons". He would be able to eat, drink, and gamble in Dragon City, and bully both men and women without a hitch.
Later on, he even burned the justice courts, stole a peek at the Grand Master"s concubine"s bath, violently beat up the son of the Minister of Education, and even viewed the paintings and books of the Spring Palace in the vast courtyard of the Orthodox Academy. He was so angry that he fainted on the spot while facing the Right Premier Guan Yunde, shocking the entire Dragon City.In the end, he was brought back to Silver City and sent to the Northwest Qin Feng City. Xiang Yun then took care of Qin Feng City and turned it into a men"s heaven, a place to eat, drink, and gamble.
All of these heroic deeds, one after the other, were accurately described by Xiang Fei and were returned to Yun Yue Ji"s face. Hearing Yun Yue Ji"s words, her beautiful face couldn"t help but turn red as she frowned!
In the end, Yun Yue Ji couldn"t help but spit lightly. "Aiya, Fei"er, this prince is too …"
Xiang Fei smiled brightly as she answered, "Yue Ji jiejie wants to say that he is too lawless and mischievous. He"s really a sc.u.m, isn"t he?"
Yun Yue Ji did not answer, but judging from her expression, she knew that this was what she wanted to say.Xiang Fei said, "There"s nothing we can do about it. He"s such a person, my uncle"s three sons, the first two are the top geniuses of Storm Nation, and the last one is a brave general in the army. Only he"s not."
Yun Yue"s impression of this unmasked Crown Prince was extremely poor. She frowned and said.
"I had thought that the crown prince was a young genius, but I didn"t expect him to be like this. It"s such a pity about his background."
With that, Yun Yue Ji asked with some doubt, "Fei"er, why do I feel that you don"t dislike him, and are instead very familiar with him? Have you met them? "
When she heard Yun Yue Ji say the word "touch", Xiang Fei"s mind immediately flashed with memories of what had happened on the soft bed in the Silver City Courtyard. Her face instantly turned red and she gnashed her teeth in anger, but in the end, she still spoke."Besides being related by blood, I can also be considered a friend."
"Friend!" Yun Yue Ji was shocked!
Perhaps the definition of "friend" was very broad, but after being in contact with Xiang Fei for so long, Yun Yue was keenly aware that in this world, there weren"t many people who could be considered as her friends by Xiang Fei, including even his biological brother!And why would she call such a renowned playboy a "friend"? This was truly unbelievable!
Perhaps seeing the surprise on Yun Yue Ji"s face, Xiang Fei smiled helplessly as she said.
"Sister Yueji, you might not know, but this cousin of mine is indeed a scoundrel at times, but at times, you have to admit, compared to those well-dressed aristocratic families, he can be considered a real man!"
Hearing this, Yun Yue Ji was even more curious. To be called a man by her little sister who despised all men, was actually such a notorious second generation?
Xiang Fei smiled as she picked up the teapot on the stove and personally poured tea for Yun Yue Ji. On the small boat, Xiang Fei began to tell Yun Yue Ji about the Xuan Fire Double Headed Python that day at Silver City"s hunting grounds.
While his life was in danger and everyone was too busy running away to care about him, Xiang Yun had sacrificed himself to save him. In the end, however, he had suffered a heavy injury and had almost lost his life.
Furthermore, he had single-handedly killed Yang Guanglin and paid homage to his wronged soul, regardless of the persuasion of everyone in the square.Xiang Fei was extremely engrossed in her lecture, while Yunyue Ji was even more engrossed in her story. She could not believe that such a mischievous and mischievous crown prince would actually do such a valiant thing.
What kind of person is it that two extremes are at the same time, the contradiction between right and evil? For a moment, the Imperial Concubine"s heart was filled with boundless curiosity towards Xiang Yun. A sliver of antic.i.p.ation arose within her heart, as if she wanted to meet this famous Crown Prince of the Wind Cloud Kingdom.
