Chapter 42
He carefully looked at his Belle and saw that she wasn’t angry. His courage increased, “It’s all because Belle is so captivating, making me admire you. You’ve already seduced my soul away, so Belle you have to take responsibility.” In the previous 20 years of his life, Zongzheng Mufeng really never thought that he would ever so easily fall in love with someone. In his eyes, women were a nuisance that was always crying. During his childhood in the palace, he had seen many beautiful women, yet had never had any additional thoughts towards any of their beauty.
On the other hand, towards his belle, it had always felt like it was destined to be.
XunMi pursed her lips to contain her laugh, “Are you that certain that I wouldn’t reject you?”
“That’s of course. I am so outstanding, who could rise above me to be a better match for you?” Zongzheng Mufeng arrogantly swayed his fan, his peach blossom eyes mimicked XunMi’s and arched up.
The man was doing the same action as the woman, yet there was an extreme difference in their portrayal. XunMi was enticing, while Zongzheng Mufeng was provocative.
“Hahaha…” XunMi snatched the fan out of his hands and played around with it. “You really are filled with confidence. At least I quite like your confidence.”
Zongzheng Mufeng pulled XunMi by the waist into his chest. He leaned by her ear and naughtily said, “Then can this Prince assume Belle has already impatiently been wanting to marry me? Do not fret, I did not come alone today. The betrothal gift will be arriving soon.” An Er should be here soon. After today, he would be able to take Belle home. Just the thought itself made him excited.
XunMi’s eyes were filled with laughter. Her husband was still as impatient as always. Even though it wasn’t great that he always lost his memory, his attitude and feelings towards her has never changed. How couldn’t she be satisfied when she was receiving such love? However… “Prince must think carefully. My reputation in capital city is quite horrible.”
Hearing this, Zongzheng Mufeng shrugged his shoulders unaffectedly, “That’s because those people have eyes but are missing pupils. But this is just right for me. This way, no one will try to fight me for you, although I’m not afraid. If I was unhappy, I would simply make everyone else suffer.” His tolerance for others was low, only big enough for his belle alone.
XunMi leaned her body into his embrace, listening to that strong, powerful heartbeat as a smile formed on her face. “I seek a whole lifetime of loyalty. I want to protect and care for only one person’s heart, and I want my partner to do the same. Can the Prince give me this? And is the Prince willing to give me this?”
Zongzheng Mufeng rested his chin onto the top of her head. He solemnly spoke, “I only have one heart and I has already been given to you. How could there be any more heart to give out to others? Belle, even though I am happy that you are willing to mention requests for me, but I’m not happy that you would doubt me. So, I must punish Belle.”
He lowered his face to capture her glossy lips, softly biting. Catching XunMi off guard, he had successfully seized her.
Her tongue was continuously sucked and teased, causing some saliva to slip out from the corner of her mouth. He licked her lips clean, making her face redden even more.
“So tasteful. Unfortunately, the setting isn’t right. Or else, I really would want to eat you up.” He licked her red ear, and let his hoarse voice echo directly into her ears. His exhaling warm breath sprinkled onto her neck, ticklish and numbing while also seductive.
XunMi secretly cursed him in her heart: pervert. But on her face, only bashful beauty could be seen. This was a flower garden in ancient times. There were a few people nearby even. He really doesn’t know what to pay attention for.
She pushed Zongzheng Mufeng away, angrily kicking at him before running off. Zongzheng Mufeng joyfully laughed and chased after her. That kick was too light that he could only think of her kick as antics between lovers.
After eating a delicious lunch at the duke’s estate, Zongzheng Mufeng was kicked out by XunMi. The shameless fellow had intended to spend his days at the duke’s estate, up until XunMi married him.
Didn’t he know that already attracted attention by flamboyantly bringing in more than 10 trunks of betrothal gifts to the duke’s estate? If he decided to reside here as well, she felt that there was no way the duke’s estate would remain peaceful.
When she heard this news, Wenren Yunfei smashed all the decorations she could reach in her room, covering her floor with cracks of flower vases and porcelain. “Damn it. How dare Wenren XunMi dare do this? She’s just a girl from ancient times, how could she compare to me?” Her chest puffed up and down from anger. Wearing a sensual silky thin gown, her movements made it seem as her cleavage was ready to pop out at any second.
This was another reason women didn’t like Wenren Yunfei. Her clothing was truly too strange and brazen. Although the clothes looked pretty, it was revealing her shoulders, revealing her legs, even revealing… In any case, this kind of clothing in ancient times was simply known as dishonorable. After all, only those women in brothels here would be so daringly brazen. But men loved this type of pretty face, white skin, sexy vibe combination.
This could only be faulted on Wenren Yunfei for being too impetuous in trying to show herself off. Not only did she plagiarize modern era’s poems and song lyrics, she had even copied modern fashion.
The time periods weren’t the same, if she wanted to force their tastes to fuse together, then she should have at least have chosen a suitable choice at least.
Doing too much is just as bad as doing nothing at all. {T/N: 过犹不及,
a Confucius saying. I’m learning so much by translating.}
“Miss, Miss please cool your anger. How could Second Miss compare to you? Didn’t Sir Nangong say that he would find someone to teach Second Miss a lesson today? Just wait. Maybe there will be good news soon!” Xiao Yue, a personal maid hurriedly consoled. Her Miss was so kindhearted, she’s never displayed her status in front of the servants. How could anyone compare to her Miss, who has always lectured about the importance of human equality?
Wenren Yunfei had already calmed down. She was a woman from the 21st century. She didn’t believe she couldn’t win over a woman from a backwards dynasty. So what if she was the legitimate daughter. What good is that when the Prime Minister’s estate has already cut ties with her?
Moreover, Wenren Yunfei was about to marry the crown prince. Even if the empress wasn’t satisfied, this was still a fact that couldn’t be changed. The position of crown princess was hers sooner or later. Afterwards, who would have a more respected status than her?
“Xiao Yue, help me get dressed. Let’s go look for Nangong brother.” She adjusted her facial expressions. She still had Qing gege, Ling gege, and Nangong gege. As long as she acted cute and sajiao’d, showed a bit of grievance, then they would help her get justice.
The recent punishments of he crown prince’s confinement and her being kicked out of the crown prince’s estate by the empress, were all considered Wenren XunMi’s fault.
If not for her, then how could she have suffered such humiliation?
She pathetically walked out of the crown prince’s estate, still able to hear those lowly things’ laughter.
Just wait. When she returns to the crown prince’s estate, she would definitely kill them, not showing mercy on any of them.
