Chapter 13 - Green Pearl Meeting
In the southwestern parts of Zhongzhou, there was a mountain named ”Green Pearl” The mountain with the same name as a famous concubine from ancient China, was similar to the beautiful Green Pearl inacross its fair tehtfully placed between sparkling blue bodies of water
On Green Pearl's peak existed several stacked terraces, see like a woman's hair bun fro creek filled with long swi fish, an absolutely picturesque scene
Meng Fuyao dangled her leg as she laid on the terrace She held a strand of grass in her
Ever since her hurried escape yesterday, she hadn't returned to Prince De's residence She was afraid that if Qiao Ling told Guo Pingrong about ”little pageboy Meng”, Zong Yue would be wrapped up in the mess as well, so she directly ran here and slept
The daylight beside her darkened all of a sudden A person lay down by her side in an even lazier posture than her's, after which a certain fat white balldown into an identical posture as its owner
A row of three, laid out orderly
Fuyao didn't turn her head, her gaze still wandering a clouds in the sky In the depths of her eyes, however, a hint of a smile rose up
This person, could always find the most unlikely places to ”accidently chance upon” her
At this point, saying things like aiya what a coincidence would just be pure sophistry; Yuan Zhaoxu very clearly knew of her whereabouts If such a secretive person wanted to play the ”unexpected encounter” game, then she would just humor him
In reality, after several days of not seeing him, Fuyao unexpectedly felt that she really liked his way of suddenly popping out of nowhere
It was only Master Yuanbao whose expression was a little unsightly, itsso low it looked like a sweet potato Of course, Meng Fuyao had never really payed any attention to the feelings of this extraneous rat
The person who had just appeared leisurely laid back by her side His long eyelashes traced out an elegant arc under his eyes Today his face color looked a little pale and histo fit the casual i on his elboith his eyes half-closed, in his hand was held a tree branch that looked at-odds with his previous ie
Meng Fuyao tilted her head over, holding back a sestion he would coh, was Yuan Zhaoxu clearly sitting facing her with his back to the slightly iced-over creek, yet with his head turned away, and backhandedly stabbing out with a ”cha” sound
Water drops flew into the air Silver scales flashed On the branch was i fish
Fuyao's eyes widened as she watched Yuan Zhaoxu, his back facing the creek, casually poke out again to catch yet another fish His ling fish appeared on the floor
On this wintery day, ice had formed on the creek surface Yuan Zhaoxu could actually use only his hearing, back facing a layer of ice, and still be able to sense the trajectory of the swis every ti theand accuracy required was so very few people in the world possessed
”The lenok fish[1] in Green Pearl spring beco to feast today” The person who used his unfathomable martial arts to spear fish had just turned his head, before he saw that the super one to collect the fish
Fuyao rolled up her robe sleeves as she squatted by the creek bank, preparing the fish After thinking for a bit she asked Yuan Zhaoxu, ”Who was the crazy shouting woht? It looked like she had enmity with your Crown Prince, aren't you an attendant of the Crown Prince? You should know right?”
Yuan Zhaoxu sat crosslegged on withered grass No ant air that surrounded hiave a small chuckle, and his raised eye corners seeht as he said, ”She is Prince De's consort”
”Ah?” Meng Fuyao looked up in surprise
”Prince De's consort was the Linjiang King's eldest daughter Back when the king of Linjiang rebelled and was killed, his whole household was put to death Only his eldest daughter escaped this fate because she was already Prince De's consort at the tie and went ave a basic explanation
”Then why did she say your Crown Prince was of impure bloodline and stole the throne?”
”Aend” Yuan Zhaoxu replied very cordially ”In his infancy the Crown Prince had once disappeared for a period of time People with ill-intentions soon spread false rusun descendant, but was a substitute”
”Ridiculous!” Fuyao sniffed with contempt ”That old Infinite Emperor isn't some retard, how could he not know if his own son was real or fake?”
”That is hard to say People are dull-ht always occurred” Yuan Zhaoxu's expression was the sa the fish, he unhurriedly scooped out a littleobject that had many pockets on top
Meng Fuyao curiously leaned over ”What is that?”
Her long eyelashes fluttered, alainst Yuan Zhaoxu's hand He chuckled as he used his fingers to pinch out
”Woah, so neat”
”Ah!” Fuyao leapt ahile hatefully glaring
