Chapter 111: It’s Time to See the Ancestors
Bai Aoxue leaned her head, and her eyes followed the voice. She saw a figure of the same color as her rushing over quickly.
Bai Aoxue squinted at the figure coming towards her. “Xue, when did you get acquainted with Princess Luoyan?” Jun Yeyan asked wonderingly.
“Well… Princess Luoyan likes my uncle, and naturally she likes me too.” Bai Aoxue thought with her head askew and said slowly.
Jun Yeyan listened to Bai Aoxue’s words, the hand that was holding Bai Aoxue suddenly tightened, thinking his love was enough for Xue and it was better for others not to involve, even women!
“Princess Luoyan.” Bai Aoxue bowed politely, and it was not humble or overbearing.
Luoyan looked at Bai Aoxue in the purple dress, which was beautiful like a fairy.
“Well, this dress is really beautiful on you, and I didn’t bring it from Mobei in vain.” Luoyan looked at Bai Aoxue with admiration.
Only when the dress was worn on Bai Aoxue could it show the aura of fairy which the skirt should have.
When Bai Aoxue heard Luoyan’s words, she looked doubtfully at Wenxi and Hongxiu behind her, only to see Wenxi nodding her head, indicating that Luoyan was telling the truth.
“Thank you for sending me the dress. I like it very much.” Bai Aoxue said politely but without alienation.
Luoyan listened to Bai Aoxue’s words and frowned. “Aoxue, I didn’t flatter you like this because of Ye Zhaojue, or I could say that I started with the idea of approaching you, but after a few days’ observation, I also found that you are a friend worthy of my acquaintance. I like a woman like you, just like the people of Mobei, which never pretend.”
Luoyan was telling the truth. The observation of Bai Aoxue these days was the breakthrough that she thought Bai Aoxue was worthy to make friend with. And what Bai Aoxue said to Ye Zhaojue on the day of her marriage made Luoyan really understand Bai Aoxue.
Such women were the ones who were most worthy of their heart-for-heart friendship.
Bai Aoxue also knew the temperament of the people of Mobei. They were straightforward and outright. They never talked in a roundabout way. Their like, appreciation and hate would all be shown without hesitation.
Such a person was the easiest to live, without hiding his true side, and living freely.
“Princess Luoyan is too respectful of me.” Bai Aoxue laughed lightly, and her tone was less circuitous and polite.
Luoyan naturally could feel the change of Bai Aoxue, and she was very happy.
Anyway, she hoped to become true friends with Bai Aoxue, and she believed that they shared the same beliefs.
But Bai Aoxue thought that Luoyan would not hurt her in any case. It was reasonable for Luoyan to suck her up. After all, Luoyan loved Ye Zhaojue badly.
In order to break through Ye Zhaojue’s invincible fortress, she should start with Bai Aoxue.
And Bai Aoxue really appreciated Luoyan. Anyway, this friend would surely be made. In the long run, it was good for her to make friends with Luoyan, and it would not do any harm.
And she also hoped that Luoyan could gain Ye Zhaojue’s heart. After all, Ye Zhaojue had been lonely for too many years. There should be a woman who could fight in the battlefield and travel with him.
Luoyan was just right for him!
“Aoxue, you don’t need to be modest. You deserve my appreciation.” Luoyan looked at Bai Aoxue sincerely and said.
When Bai Aoxue heard Luoyan’s words, she was shocked slightly. Then she said, “Then I will accept this appreciation.”
She had always been a well-spoken person. She knew well that what she should do in certain occasion. Excessive modesty would make it difficult to establish the friendship between them.
“Haha…Just like this!” Luoyan laughed in a chipper way. She was really happy to have Bai Aoxue as a friend.
“Xue… It’s time for us to go into the Palace.” Jun Yeyan looked at Bai Aoxue and said.
Bai Aoxue listened, but she felt some complaining.
Looking at the accusing eyes of Jun Yeyan, Bai Aoxue understood what Jun Yeyan thought, probably because he was unhappy when she left him alone for a long time.
Luoyan also carefully looked at Jun Yeyan. He wore a jade mask, except for the cold thin lips and the narrow eyes, the rest were wrapped tightly.
But only these two parts were so fascinating that the ugly face under the mask according to the legend was overlooked.
At this time, Jun Yeyan paid all his attention to Bai Aoxue, as if everything around did not exist. The black eyes reflected out the beautiful face of Bai Aoxue.
“By the way, I don’t know why Princess Luoyan came to the palace today.” Bai Aoxue didn’t want to bother to deal with Jun Yeyan. She looked at Luoyan lazily and asked.
After Luoyan heard, she remembered the purpose of her trip.
“I almost forgot if you didn’t mention it. The imperial concubine Yun invited me to visit the imperial garden. I’ll go first and come to see you next time.” Luoyan patted her forehead gently and said.
When Bai Aoxue heard Luoyan’s words, she trembled hard at the corners of her mouth and guessed that it would be a hidden danger.
Jun Wuhen had alert Liu Manyun because of his eyes that reflected his ambition to get Luoyan, not to mention that Luoyan was much more beautiful than Liu Manyun.
“You’d better be careful. This woman is not a good one.” Bai Aoxue reminded Luoyan. She didn’t want Luoyan to be taken advantage of in case she really became her aunt.
Luoyan blinked at Bai Aoxue and said: “Don’t worry, I was born in the palace. I’ve seen many tricks of women in the palace. If the imperial concubine Yun wants to tease me, I will beat back and let her taste the bitter fruits by herself!”
When Bai Aoxue heard Luoyan’s words, she remembered that Luoyan was also a princess of the Royal family. Luoyan might have regarded women in the palace intriguing with each other as a regular meal.
Bai Aoxue rest a.s.sured a little, and she said slowly: “Prince and I are going to see the Emperor. If you have time in the future, you can come to the 5th prince’s mansion to see me.”
“Or I’ll come back in three days and you can come directly to General’s mansion.” After a pause, Bai Aoxue gestured to her with eyes and continued.
As soon as Luoyan heard the sentence, she understood Bai Aoxue’s meaning and patted Bai Aoxue’s shoulder with admiration: “As expected, we have common topics. I’ll come to General’s mansion in three days. I’ll leave now so that I won’t disturb you and 5th prince.”
Luoyan had long discovered Jun Yeyan’s gaze could freeze her to death.
“Goodbye, 5th prince.” Luoyan turned to look at Jun Yeyan and said. She didn’t hide her gloat in her eyes.
Jun Yeyan looked at Luoyan at this time and said indifferently: “Be careful.”
Although the tone was indifferent and gentle, Luoyan still felt that Jun Yeyan couldn’t wait to see her disappear immediately.
Without staying for too long, Luoyan followed the waiting eunuch and stepped into the palace sooner than Bai Aoxue.
“We also should leave now. He must have waited for a long time.” Jun Yeyan looked up at the high door and said indifferently.
Bai Aoxue looked at Jun Yeyan, and she saw the ambition to win in Jun Yeyan’s eyes.
The light hided in the dark, coexisting with the darkness. The day when the light breaking through might be the day when Jun Yeyan succeeded.
With no more thinking, Bai Aoxue shook her head and stepped into the palace.
Anyway, at least now she was allied with Jun Yeyan. If he wanted the throne, just help him!
For her, who would sit on that supreme position had nothing to do with her.
Just after entering the palace, Cangsheng, who had been waited aside, rushed up to greet them.
“Finally, 5th prince and 5th princess arrive. I have been waiting for you for a long time.” Cangsheng smiled and blinked at Bai Aoxue.
Bai Aoxue knew that Cangsheng was joking. She couldn’t help laughing and said: “I’m sorry for making you wait for such a long time.”
Jun Yeyan was unhappy to see them laughing like this without scruple. But now he was in the palace, he had to be careful.
“Paying respects to 5th prince and 5th princess.” Cangsheng saluted respectfully. Now he was less easygoing than before.
“Dispense with it. Where is my royal brother? Take us to visit him.” said Jun Yeyan.
“His Majesty is in Moyu Hall. He ordered me to lead the way for prince and princess.” Cangsheng answered.
Bai Aoxue could not help raising eyebrows when she heard Moyu Hall. She did not know what Jun Wuhen wanted to do.
Jun Yeyan smiled coldly and said: “Lead the way.”
Cangsheng looked at Jun Yeyan in surprise. He never saw that Jun Yeyan spoke with such momentum.
Along the way, Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan were very affectionate all the time, which really made people thought that they were really a couple.
After a while, they came to Moyu Hall. Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan looked at each other. Both of them saw indifference in each other’s eyes.
“Your Majesty, 5th prince and 5th princess came.” Cangsheng looked at Jun Wuhen respectfully and said.
Jun Wuhen was sitting in the front yard of Moyu Hall and taking a rest with his eyes closed.
When he heard Cangsheng’s words, Jun Wuhen waved his hand and said: “You can leave now.”
After all slaves left, Jun Wuhen opened his eyes and said: “Come and sit down. I was happy yesterday and drank too much.”
“Thanks.” Jun Yeyan slowly walked toward Jun Wuhen, holding Bai Aoxue’s hand.
“The marriage of you two were my wish and also our father’s last wish.” Jun Wuhen said with emotion.
“That’s right. Xue is the person I am destined to meet. I will surely treat her well.” Jun Yeyan said affectionately, and then he raised Bai Aoxue’s hand and looked at Bai Aoxue tenderly.
Bai Aoxue was uncomfortable under the tender stare of Jun Yeyan. She said unnaturally: “Prince treats me very well. I should thank the emperor for this marriage and let me find my perfect fate.”
Jun Wuhen looked at the expression of the two people all the time, fearing to miss any subtle action. But from the eyes and expression of the two people, there was no loophole.
Jun Wuhen couldn’t help wondering if Jun Yeyan really had feelings for Bai Aoxue.
“Haha…If so, I made the right decision to arrange this marriage.” Jun Wuhen laughed loudly.
However, he was thinking that if Jun Yeyan really had feelings for Bai Aoxue, should Bai Aoxue also take action?
“Actually, today I also want to explain something to Aoxue. By the way, let Aoxue visit our father. After all, she became one of our royal family.” Jun Wuhen looked at Jun Yeyan and said slowly.
