Chapter 278 - Mo Xuetong Goes to the Qin Gathering (2/2)

Her dress fluttered in the wind as her dark hair flowed in the wind. She was utterly gorgeous!

“She is Princess Anping! I didn’t expect her to come! She is much more beautiful than in pictures.” Bai Yichen took up a cup of wine that flowed down from upstream and tipped it into his mouth slowly. He looked at the beautiful girl in a tipsy daze. He muttered to himself moments later and a dark deep look flashed in his eyes. It was a look that only appeared naturally when a man was deeply interested in a woman.

Even though he had sent the letter, he did not expect Princess Anping to really come. He had just been trying to trick Bai Yihao. Since Bai Yihao had brought his attention to this woman, he would naturally do what Bai Yihao thought he would do. He would continue forth and make Bai Yihao think that he really liked Princess Anping. He would make him think that he was so enthralled that he was not willing to marry the Fifth Princess.

That was why he had sent the letter during the royal banquet in the palace. Even though there were not many around, there were many guards in the quiet palace! Given Bai Yihao’s ability, it was not difficult for him to find out that Bai Yichen had sent the letter to Princess Anping.

“Yes, Your Highness. It is Princess Anping. Many say that Second Miss Ling is the most beautiful woman of Great Qin, but that is not true.” The scrivener sat on a closeby rock and nodded with a smile.

“I wonder what Yihao would do if I were to marry this Princess Anping? I heard that he likes her and is willing to be hurt than for her to be injured.” A smile appeared on Bai Yichen’s face. His eyes were deep and dark and one could not tell whether he was serious or not.

The scrivener was stunned and he watched Bai Yichen carefully. He picked up the wine cup that he was holding and knocked it against the rock beside him. He laughed and said, “The reeds are green, dew and frost gleam. The beautiful woman stands beyond the stream. The way upstream is long and down the stream she stands along. White are the reeds, the dew has yet to dry. The beautiful woman stands beyond the stream. Upstream I go, the path is hard. Downstream I go, she is far away. Bright are the reeds, the dew and frost blend. The beautiful woman, at the river’s end. Upstream I go, the path winds, Downstream I go, in the stream she stands.”

A thoughtful expression appeared on Bai Yichen’s face. His gaze followed the white figure on the lake. The look in his eyes could not be read.

Feng Yuxuan and Qin Yufeng both saw Mo Xuetong as well. Qin Yufeng pretended to look as if he met Feng Yuxuan occasionally and the two drank and played music. The gentle and elegant Feng Yuxuan and Qin Yufeng, who smiled gently were both similar indisposition. When they spoke, it felt as if they regretted not having met even earlier.

It made others feel that the young master Qin was really blessed to have King Chu’s trust.

“Your Highness, it would be a good thing if you can really marry Second Miss. Why would Your Highness need to worry if you can have the most beautiful woman in the world!” Qin Yufeng said softly as he knelt on the ground and fiddled with the Qin strings. However, he did not play.

Feng Yuxuan did not reply. Qin Yufeng turned to look at where Feng Yuxuan was looking at. His gaze landed on Mo Xuetong and his warm eyes grew dark and deep.

“I’m afraid that Second Miss Ling might be physically present, but her heart isn’t.” Feng Yuxuan said lightly and looked away.

“Given Your Highness’ abilities, it would not be difficult to deal with a woman. Furthermore, the Ling family is using her as a chess piece. If she is smart, she will work with Your Highness. You just have to tell her plainly. She does not seem stupid and will understand.” Qin Yufeng looked away silently. He plucked at the Qin strings and a crisp sound emerged.

“If you are loyal to her in the future, there will not be a single woman who will be able to escape from you.”

Loyal to Ling Fengyan? Feng Yuxuan suddenly felt terrible, it was as if he had swallowed a fly. He thought of the ambiguous relations.h.i.+p between her and his third brother and how she had tried so hard to seduce him. Feng Yuxuan could not bring herself to like her. He found it difficult even to pretend.

He could not bring himself to like a woman like that. He looked up again and could not help but be drawn to the beautiful image on the boat.

“After the matter is settled, Your Highness, you can have everything you desire!” Qin Yufeng glanced at him and said with a meaningful smile.

“Yufeng, don’t worry. I will not lose sight of the main goal because of an insignificant matter. I will send ten bolts of cloth to Second Miss Ling when I return and ten makeup boxes. I will go to the Ding General Manor personally to ask for her hand.” Feng Yuxuan laughed after receiving a sudden epiphany. He turned around and ignored what was on the lake. No matter how beautiful the sight was there, he could not want it right now.

Even though he did not know when he started to like the woman, it was not the right time now. Compared to a woman he liked, he was more focused on his career. Women were not as important! When he ascended that position in the future, the woman would become his. She would not be able to escape from his grasp.

Qin Yufeng did not speak. It was as if he had not sensed the greed in Feng Yuxuan’s eyes. His figures continued plucking out notes on the Qin. His lips curved up without him noticing.

There was someone else who was taking notice of Mo Xuetong with malicious intentions!

“Lingyue, are you done?” The Fifth Princess turned around and asked with a sinister expression as she sat on another boat staring at Mo Xuetong with jealousy and hatred. The intense hatred made her eyes cold and crazed. She wanted to see how the s.l.u.t would embarra.s.s herself today. Everyone present here today were from n.o.ble families. Even the First Prince of Yan Kingdom was here.

If Mo Xuetong embarra.s.sed herself here today, she would not be able to face anyone in the future.

“Princess, I have done everything you ordered me to.” Lingyue swirled the wine in the cup and handed it to the Fifth Princess.

“Take that away. Be careful later and don’t spill it.” The Fifth Princess pushed the cup away with disgust. Her gaze turned to her left and she saw the n.o.ble and elegant Bai Yihao looking at Mo Xuetong. He was elegant and even though he wore his usual warm and gentle smile, he could not hide the gentleness in his eyes.

Mo Xuetong, that s.l.u.t, she had indeed seduced her cousin!

When the Fifth Princess thought of how she had chased after her cousin for many years but had never been looked at like that by him, her eyes grew red with jealousy. She was the mighty n.o.ble lady, born into wealth and n.o.bility. Mo Xuetong was a lowly s.l.u.t and could not even be compared to her finger. She only had that face of hers.

The Fifth Princess wanted to tear Mo Xuetong into pieces. She wanted to scratch that s.l.u.tty face of hers that she used to seduce others. Mo Xuetong was lucky the last time that nothing happened to her. This time, Fifth Princess wanted her to lose everything.

Her cousin was the Crown Prince of a country. He would not marry a woman who embarra.s.sed herself in front of others!

s.l.u.t, just wait…

Lingyue did not dare to speak when she sensed the Fifth Princess’ intense emotional change. She left quietly.
