Chapter 625 - Feas
Yu Xiaocao had a face full of puzzlement. She looked at her good friends, who all had solemn expressions on their faces, and rubbed at her nose. She cautiously asked, "Is Royal Prince Yang's face really that scary? Does anyone here think that he has a handsomely sculpted face, so good-looking that it could entrance someone? He clearly is very good-looking, so why do you all think he looks frightening?"
He Wanning popped another piece of chocolate into her mouth and closed her eyes in enjoyment. She candidly stated, "Royal Prince Yang's default expression is as cold as the ice from a ten thousand year old glacier. It's so icy that it freezes people instantly and the glare from his eyes seem to pierce a person's heart, so no one dares to look at him directly. His whole body seems to give off a razor sharp aura and people can't help but tremble in front of him! Even if he is handsome, no one would dare to appreciate it ah! However, in front of you, he's as obedient and clever as Little Black. You're not afraid of him, and you're able to stand up to him. Thus, it's only natural that you're able to appreciate his...good parts, right?"
The other young maidens in the room didn't know the 'Little Black' that He Wanning was referring to, but all of Xiaocao's good friends knew. When they saw He Wanning daringly compare Royal Prince Yang to that pet wolf, who could act adorably spoiled in front of Xiaocao, they had to muffle their giggles. Yu Wanqing had been in the middle of taking a sip of coffee and had accidentally choked on the liquid after hearing He Wanning's comparison. The young maiden coughed and sputtered for a few minutes.
Royal Princess Minglan grinned broadly and used her pointer finger to tap He Wanning's head as she said, "You ah! You only have the guts to make Royal Prince Yang a joke in front of us. If these words of yours end up being transmitted into his ears, you're not going to have a good ending!"
"Uh...all of us are good friends here, ah. Thus, the words we say here should not be transmitted outside of this pavilion. None of us are flighty gossip mongers who can't keep ahold of our tongues!" He Wanning glared warningly at all of the young maidens in the room. She then also showed an entreating expression to all of her close friends.
Li Mengru covered her mouth with her handkerchief and glanced at Xiaocao, who was laughing with the crowd. She smiled in amusement and said, "Older Sister He, I think it slipped your mind that Royal Prince Yang is Younger Sister Xiaocao's sweetheart. The two of them spend a lot of time together. What if one day she forgets and accidentally tells him what you said today? What will you do then?"
He Wanning sent a fierce glare in the direction of Yu Xiaocao, who was grinning like a maniac. Xiaocao hurriedly mimed locking her mouth and said, "Don't worry! Am I the type of person who is that unreliable ah? When has anything our little group has talked about ever been disseminated into the public? That being said, I also think you're right. He really does resemble Little Black sometimes!"
"See, Younger Sister Xiaocao also agrees with me! As soon as Royal Prince Yang is in front of our younger sister, he immediately becomes obedient. Otherwise, our younger sister wouldn't become interested in such a big ice cube. What do you all think?" He Wanning casually continued to devour pastries. Most of the desserts on the table had been consumed by her.
Xiaocao reminded her, "Try not to eat too much here. In a bit, lunch will be served and if you eat too much here you won't have an appetite for the food then."
He Wanning waved a hand in dismissal, "What kind of food is there for lunch? It's all the same anyway. How could it be any more novel than this? These desserts and chocolates aren't something that I can eat whenever I want. Thus, I naturally have to eat more now."
Royal Princess Minglan rolled her eyes at the other young lady and said, "You're such a disgrace!" Although she said it like that, she also didn't stop eating the desserts on the table.
