She even stretched out her arm, seemingly wanting Yuan Wenkang to take a sniff.
Upon seeing such a bold move from the Princess, Yuan Wenkang was so frightened that he quickly stepped back several paces, his entire face flushing red, and he imdiately knelt on the ground, "This servant has caught a bit of a cold today and my nose is stuffed, unable to detect any scent."
That was indeed the case; he dared not take a sniff.
Ye Qichi was aware of the distinctions between n and won in ancient tis.
And the clear hierarchy of social status.
So she no longer made things difficult for Yuan Wenkang.
She lowered her head to sll herself and indeed, there wasn’t any distinct scent.
Xiao Jinsen was certainly doing this just to provoke him.
Damn it.
None with the surna Xiao are good!
...
Xiao Jinsen swiftly walked past Ye Qichi.
And in that mont, his heartbeat inadvertently skipped a few beats.
He didn’t know when it had started, but there was a hint of emotion towards Ye Qichi, a hint of desire to dominate and possess her.
Of course, it wasn’t affection.
He firmly believed that he could not possibly have feelings for any woman. Until he achieved his great aspirations and won the empire, romance was never within his consideration. And his feelings for Bai Mowan over the years were rely utilitarian. Certainly not to the extent of genuine investnt; now, the sa applies to his feelings towards Ye Qichi.
Because Ye Qichi had repeatedly foiled his plans, he developed an additional desire to conquer her.
That must be it.
Xiao Jinsen was certain of this in his mind.
"Prince." Suddenly, a delicate female voice rang in his ear.
Xiao Jinsen was clearly startled by the sudden noise.
As if the thoughts he had just concealed were suddenly discovered by soone.
Hence, a mont of fear arose.
But of course, it was just a mont.
He looked at Xie Ruiyao in front of him and quickly adjusted his emotions.
He kept himself calm and then looked at Xie Ruiyao with equanimity.
"Is the Prince here to see , Yao’er?" Xie Ruiyao said with a blushing face.
Xiao Jinsen cleared his throat and replied, "I ca today to attend your sister’s wedding banquet and took the opportunity to see you. We will get married in a month."
"Yao’er has also been missing the Prince," Xie Ruiyao said with a sense of joy.
She had just heard from her maidservant that the Prince of Chu had arrived.
And then she could no longer contain herself and walked out of her boudoir, eager to see the Prince of Chu sooner.
Because she hadn’t seen him for a month, and because the Prince of Chu was implicated by the Crown Prince’s issues, she once thought she would not be able to marry the Prince of Chu. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. After the Prince of Chu was unjustly accused, he now received even more of the Emperor’s favor, while it was heard that the Princess’ contributions were coldly handled by the Emperor.
Indeed, the Emperor favored the Prince of Chu more.
Now with the Crown Prince’s demise, it might not be long before the position of Crown Prince becos the Prince of Chu’s.
With this in mind, Xie Ruiyao naturally felt joy once more.
She liked Xiao Jinsen, but she also liked Xiao Jinsen’s power.
Today her two older sisters were getting married, though grand, it was still incomparable to her forthcoming wedding. After all, she was marrying the current Prince of Chu, second to one, above thousands. Without even thinking, one would know it would be extrely magnificent. Given that she was not so valued in her family due to her ranking, she now finally had trampled her two sisters in the dust.
The more she thought about it, the more thrilled she beca.
So she stopped caring about Xiao Jinsen’s attitude towards Ye Qichi just now.
Eager to see Xiao Jinsen sooner, Xie Ruiyao ca out to welco him, but suddenly encountered Xiao Jinsen and Ye Qichi talking.
After the talk.
Xiao Jinsen actually took the initiative to pull Ye Qichi.
Xie Ruiyao felt utterly upset as she watched.
Ye Qichi was indeed beautiful.
Because of so distant kinship, she, Bai Mowan, and Ye Qichi all looked sowhat similar.
Among the three, Ye Qichi’s appearance was indeed the most outstanding.
Having been favored by the Emperor recently, she was also filled with intense jealousy.
So when she saw Xiao Jinsen interacting with Ye Qichi, she felt particularly displeased.
However, now seeing Xiao Jinsen, she swallowed down all her rage.
As long as she could marry Xiao Jinsen, beco the Princess of Chu, and later the Empress...
She could accept everything else.
Moreover, it seed that Xiao Jinsen’s interaction with Ye Qichi was not a happy one.
Of course, there was still so discomfort in her heart.
Considering Xiao Jinsen was such a cautious man, how could he display his emotions in front of Ye Qichi?
Xie Ruiyao felt a multitude of complicated emotions inside her.
Then suddenly, she saw Xiao Jinsen grasp her hand.
Xie Ruiyao was startled and felt a tinge of shyness.
But her hand honestly pulled back Xiao Jinsen’s hand, clearly seducing him.
