The Blessed (Book 5)

506. The Palace Banquet (4)

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Before Ling Jingxuan fished his words, the eunuch's shriek sound sounded. Hearing a name he was interested, Ling Jingxuan also turned around and saw that people surrounding their all retreated a few steps, making them like a big frog in a small pond. Then, a carriage no less luxurious than theirs with a word '华(Hua)' engraved on its body pulled before the gate of Qionghua Palace. Then over ten maids and servants jumped off the carriage behind. The moment the curtain was brushed open, a man with a slender figure, high nose and a pair of blue eyes came out. His raised eyebrows manifested some of his masculinity, and the bright red costume made him like a porcelain doll. But, that beautiful face didn't have the slightest trace of smile. Standing on the carriage, he looked around, and then suddenly jumped off and ran toward some direction.

"Yan Xiaohua, why not wait me to go together?"

Rushing into the crowd where those relatives of the imperial family was at, Crown Princess HUa questioned a tall and noble-looking man, totally ignoring those people around. And that man was His Highess Hua Yan Xiaohua, his man.

"Why should I wait for you?"

Yan Xiaohua's handsome face instantaneously flashed a trace of anger, and the hands held behind also clenched tightly, which meant he was trying his best to restrain himself from exploding.

"You... Yan Xiaohua!"

That delicate pottery-like face had only shame and anger, Crown Princess Hua was trembling all over. For him, he had come all the way from Xi Kingdom. Cleary their relationship was pretty good in the beginning. Why like sworn enemies now? Just because their kid caught some strange illness?

"Here is the imperial decree from Her Empress Dowager. All crown princesses and wives go to Fuling palace now!"

A group of eunuchs came over suddenly, and the leading one's shriek sound was heard as he had a swing of his whisk. Ling Jingxuan then withdrew his gaze. Only a few minutes, he had almost seen that Crown Princess Hua through. To put it bluntly, he was only a spoiled prince who only did things replying on his mood and never cared about others' feelings. No wonder Yan Xiaohua would rather spend his days in a brothel than going back to face him. No man could take it, all right? But, this kind of person was usually the simplest and most stubborn. Once getting his acknowledgement, he'd guard the other side for all his life. Whether it was his lover or friends. Of course, under the premise that the other side could also accept him.

"What?"

Noticing his strange silence, Yan Shengrui asked in a deep voice. Those wives around already queued in line to go to Fuling Palace following those eunuchs. Only he, Crown Princess Hua and Ye Ruyun by the side didn't move.

"Nothing, just found something interesting. I guess Her Empress Dowager will take action later. Oh, Yunhan will also take this opportunity to see me. So I guess I'll be back a bit late. Maybe you can take the kids to greet that person first."

Shaking his head, Ling Jingxuan said as he was about to take his steps. Before Yan Shengrui said anything, Zeng Shaoqing jumped out of nowhere, on such a cold day, he was still holding a fan in his hand. And not far behind him, an old man wearing the first-rank costume with a bunch of people of different ranks was looking at him while shaking her head helplessly. They should be Big Princess Shangming and her daughters-in-law. Ling Jingxuan nodded at them with a smile to show a friendly gesture. And the other side also smiled back at him, throwing the olive branch.

"Jingxuan, how about I go Fuling Palace with you?"

Approaching him, Zeng Shaoqing suggested. His intuition told him that today Ling Jingxuan would definitely put on a good show with Her Empress Dowager. It'd be a big shame if he missed it. Besides, he hadn't seen Yunhan for long. So, maybe, he could take this chance to relieve his lovesickness.

All those who were summoned to Fuling Palace were wives of those officials and unmarried girls. As a big man, what would he be doing there?

Ling Jingxuan rolled his eyes, and then nodded at Ye Ruyun and led her to go to the headmost of the line. Usually, those crown princesses were first rank, but replying on his man, His Majesty had specially conferred him as super first rank, only inferior to Her Empress Dowager and Her Empress. So, before he moved, no one should move a step.

"Hey, wait for me..."

"You just stay and go to see my imperial elder brother with me."

Seeing that, Zeng Shaoqing tried to catch up, but got pulled back by Yan Shengrui. Ignoring those eyes around, Yan Shengrui took his sons and their little attendants to go to the opposite direction. Throwing a reluctant look back at the direction of Ling Jingxuan, Zeng Shaoqing could only catch up.

"Why got see that person now? Won't you see him later?"

Following behind them, Zeng Shaoqing was still mad at it. The two little buns snickered there. Is Uncle Zeng silly? Every time daddy would bully him, but he was still so stingy to daddy. Something wrong with his brain?

"By the order of my wife, I'll go greet him with Wen and Wu."

Throwing him a lazy glance, Yan Shengrui slightly curved his lips. As smart as Zeng Shaoqing was, he instantly understand Ling Jingxuan's intention, and his anger also dissipated a lot. But on the thought of his wife-con appearance, Zeng Shaoqing felt mad again, mumbling, "Yeah, everyone knows you have a wife, what?"

Boohoo...he also wanted to be a wife-con. When could Yunhan marry him? Damn it! Every time he saw them stuff him dog food, he'd only wish he could storm into the palace and grab that man from him!

It was not that he didn't hear his complaining. Yan Shengrui cast a side glance at him and the smile at the corner of his mouth grew bigger. Come on! His wife was unique in this whole world! Of course he'd stuff them dog food everywhere anytime!
