Chapter 596 - Choose a Husband, Making a Mistake in the Hall (1/2)

Xieyue was waiting for them to ask. Seeing them turn around, he said with a generous smile, “She’s…”

He was about to reply when he suddenly saw Feng Yuran pointing to a large group of palace maids coming in from outside. Smiling devilishly, Feng Yuran said, “Your Highness, wait a moment. See if there’s anyone more suitable to you. If you like anyone else, just tell me together. I will bring it up to Father later so that you won’t speak twice.”

There was indeed a group of palace maid in pink dress pouring in from outside. Princess Caifeng’s dance was about to begin, and the music was playing. It was indeed not the time to talk. Xieyue averted his eyes that unconsciously landed on Mo Huawen and looked at Princess Caifeng who emerged from the group of palace maids. Then he frowned slightly.

The look in Feng Yuran’s eyes were dark and cold. He held the cup tightly with his fingers and his lips pursed slightly. There was a flash of anger and something strange in his pretty and charming eyes. Although he did not speak much just now, he had been noticing the words and behaviors of the others present. He saw that Xieyue looked at Mo Huawen when he was about to say the woman’s name. His heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.

Although Xieyue didn’t utter the woman’s name in the end, his mouth was open, and it was obvious that he wanted to say “Mo”.

It meant that the girl was surnamed Mo and related to Mo Huawen. It could not be Mo Xuemin, much less Mo Xueqiong who had been dead. Then it must be Tong’er. Thinking that Xieyue dared to take a fancy to Tong’er, Feng Yuran felt a surge of bitter anger in his heart. A sick man who was about to die dared to like Tong’er. Wasn’t he afraid that he would die sooner?

Therefore, he immediately interrupted Xieyue.

Once Xieyue told that he liked Tong’er, he would at most apologize even if Feng Yuran said that Tong’er was his wife. But it would ruin Tong’er’s reputation. How could he let such a thing happen? So he looked at Princess Caifeng, who was dancing in the middle, while trying to figure out a solution in his mind. He wanted Xieyue to know the difficulties and retreat. He would not allow him to mention Tong’er.

In the main hall, Princess Caifeng was on a flower bed carried by 16 palace maids. She was dancing gracefully. Wearing a colorful dress embroidered with gold threads, she was twisting her hips and bending over in an exotic style. Besides, her elegant dance style had the feature of the Qin Kingdom. She immediately attracted everyone’s attention. At this point, even Feng Yuxuan and Feng Yuzhen’s attention were drawn to Princess Caifeng, who had a light veil over her face.

The flower bed fell on the floor in the hall, but Princess Caifeng did not stop dancing. She gently pressed on the flower pillars on both sides, and her body lightly fell on the right flower pillar. She held the flower pillar, bent over and lay on the flowers beside the pillar. She was enchanting, and looked like boneless, which made the hearts of most of the men present race.

Suddenly, Princess Caifeng let go of the flower pillar beside her, swung her long sleeves and made the ribbon to wind around another flower pillar. Along with the ribbon, her body flew away. She was like a flying immortal. With the music, Princess Caifeng attracted everyone’s attention while she danced. Feeling that everyone was paying attention to her, she became prouder.

The veil over her face would be lifted to show her delicate face from time to time as she danced, which made people more and more itchy. They only wondered how beautiful her face should be behind the veil. They didn’t expect that Princess Caifeng, who came from the Southern Barbarian Lands, would be such a beautiful woman.

Suddenly, the music became louder. The colorful ribbon in Princess Caifeng’s hand was not thrown to the flower pillars at the four corners of the bed, but to one side. It was in the direction of the three princes of the Great Qin and Crown Prince Xieyue. The long colorful ribbon was pointing to Feng Yuran, who was sitting aside and thinking.

Did the Princess of the Southern Barbarian Lands begin to choose her husband? Everyone was excited!

There had long been news that the Princess of the Southern Barbarian Lands would stay in the Great Qin and marry one of the princes. It seemed that she had taken a fancy to a prince. Everyone spontaneously looked at the direction where the colorful ribbon was thrown. Feng Yuran got up lazily and went to get the wine on the table. Coincidentally, the colorful ribbon pa.s.sed behind his back and wrapped around Feng Yuzhen’s hand, who was sitting beside him.

The silk ribbon had wrapped around someone. As Princess Caifeng saw Feng Yuran, who was holding a wine cup, turning to look at her in shock, and from the spot where she was, she thought that the ribbon had entangled Feng Yuran, she pulled the ribbon proudly. She had used a lot of strength. Different from the girls of the n.o.ble families in the Great Qin, Princess Caifeng was usually not confined to her home. Her strength was so strong that Feng Yuzhen was caught off guard. He stumbled and was dragged out. Fortunately, he still stood firm. Otherwise, he would have fallen down and lost all his face.

The Empress Dowager, who was seated in a high position, looked happy at first, but when she saw King Ning stumbling out, and the ministers laughed loudly, she felt embarra.s.sed, and her face darkened. She cast an unhappy glance at Princess Caifeng. “This girl seems very rude. How could she treat her chosen husband like this? I’ll ask Zhen’er to teach her in the future. She is so impolite!”

The music stopped abruptly as Princess Caifeng had already caught a man with the ribbon. Everyone was waiting for her to speak something. Feng Yuzhen did not like to be pulled out of the crowd by Princess Caifeng in this manner. However, when he thought of the huge benefits he would gain after marrying her, he put on a warm smile on his face.

There was no sign of joy or anger on the Emperor’s face, but there was a hint of anger and contempt in the Empress’ eyes. Imperial n.o.ble Consort Wen was still smiling gently. The Sixth Princess was as quiet as ever. However, it was hard to tell whether Consort Yan, You Yue’e, who was sitting beside her, was happy, relaxed, or disappointed.

“Princess Caifeng, what do you mean?” Emperor Zongwen asked slowly when he noticed that Princess Caifeng seemed to be stunned and did not speak. He wanted her to make it clear.

What did she mean? Of course, she was dragging King Xuan out of the crowd in the main hall to express her feelings for him. Since the Emperor of the Qin Kingdom wanted a marriage between the two countries, he could not say anything as she had chosen King Xuan. At least, she would force Emperor Zongwen to settle the marriage between her and King Xuan. As for Consort Xuan, it was not a big deal. She had countless ways to make her die quickly.

However, she did not expect that the silk ribbon did not wrap around King Xuan, and instead, it wrapped around King Ning. King Ning was not the son of the Emperor of the Qin Kingdom, and was only doted on by the Empress Dowager. Furthermore, Princess Caifeng did not like him. She looked at Feng Yuzhen dazedly and did not know what to do.

Hearing Emperor Zongwen’s question, and then looking at her eldest brother, Xieyue, who was glaring at her, she knew that she could not hesitate at this moment. She loosened the silk ribbon in her hand and let go of King Ning. Then she smiled and bowed to Emperor Zongwen respectfully. “Your Majesty. I made a mistake just now and disturbed this prince. I’m sorry.”
