Chapter 130 - Lady Jin’s Sword Hairpin (1/2)

“Oh, since Eighth Brother is in the mood, I will definitely keep you company!” Feng Yuxuan glanced at Ling Fengyan and smiled with gentle eyes.

“King Xuan, this is not fair. This lady’s face is hidden so well, King Chu cannot see clearly. So how can he deduce whether she is beautiful or not? How about this, why don’t we ask the lady to reveal her face so King Chu can see clearly. How about that?” Ling Fengyan’s gaze landed on Mo Xuetong’s face which was covered and could not be seen clearly. He smiled and spoke gently as his eyes swept across Feng Yuran subconsciously.

For an inexplicable reason, she felt that Mo Xuetong, who was standing beside the handsome and flawless Feng Yuran was very eye-catching. She was beautiful and a single glance at her made her blush and her heart race. She told herself that she was just a rich girl and was the type of person she looked down upon the most before she could calm her racing heart.

She did not think that the woman was more beautiful than her. As such, she wanted to make Mo Xuetong reveal herself so she could shame her.

“Second Miss Ling, your beauty is comparable to our national flower and other girls cannot compare to you. Furthermore, the two royal highnesses are not really comparing beauties. Second Miss Ling really do not have to be so insistent on whether I reveal my face or not. No matter which King wins, our beauty is determined by their opinions.” Mo Xuetong blinked her lively eyes. Her sweet voice had a seductive hint to it that was usually not present as she spoke gently. She knew how to act as well!

Ling Fengyan was not a simple person for she could still remain so calm after Feng Yuran doubted her reputation as the most beautiful woman in the capital. Mo Xuetong felt that she was the same sort of person as Mo Xuemin and was secretly wary. Of course, she would not think that Feng Yuran was so bored to make things difficult for her. The more she interacted with Feng Yuran, the more she realized that he was not the flighty playboy he made himself out to be!

He definitely had his reasons for doing this!

She was in a rather good mood today. And of course, Ling Fengyan gave her the same kinds of feelings that Mo Xuemin gave her. They were both so fake. As such, she would live freely just once and go wild with Feng Yuran!

Ling Fengyan had tried to trick her into revealing herself. She would not let her get what she wanted!

“Not bad, you have just spoken what was on my mind. You are indeed the person I like! Elder brother, look at the two items on the stage. How about we use those as prizes? I wonder which one Second Miss Ling likes?” A charming smile appeared on Feng Yuran’s lips as he pointed at the beads and the swords on the stage. His eyes, which were like dark jade, had a hint of teasing laughter in them and he appeared n.o.ble despite his lazy tone.

Despite his lazy appearance, he was still seductive.

The string of beads and the pair of miniature jade swords. Ling Fengyan’s eyes could not help but be drawn to the beads. The color, the size of the beads; even if she had never seen them before, she knew that they were extremely precious. While the jade colored miniature swords were also very attractive, they were not as attractive to women as the beads were.

Everyone knew what she had chosen when they saw how her gaze landed on the beads.

“Elder brother, Second Miss Ling has already chosen. Why don’t we go and look at the riddles?” Feng Yuran laughed and walked up to the stage. Feng Yuxuan, who was behind him, hesitated a little before he brought Ling Fengyan with him.

The riddles on the stage were very weird. There were two paintings. The first was of the blue sky and white clouds. There was a gra.s.sland under the clouds. The painting was filled with a crowd of white sheep. The second painting was still of the same sky and gra.s.s but the sheep were squeezed on the left side of the painting while a large pack of wolves appeared on the right side! The requirements written below the two paintings were simple. The answer to each riddle was a fruit!

There were many gathered before the stage and many approached to try to answer the riddle. However, they all failed and no one could solve the riddle.

There were many who were watching the show below the stage and there were quite a few who were trying to solve the riddle with their brows furrowed. However, no one else went up on the stage and the stage appeared to be rather empty.

Mo Xuetong stared at the jade-colored miniature swords that were placed under the second painting. It was the second prize. When she approached it, she could see them more clearly. They looked like hairpins and decorations were hanging from it. They were ta.s.sels on women hairpins. They shook slightly under the light, glittering beautifully.

She seemed to recall there being such a pair of hairpin swords. While she could not remember clearly, she knew that they were important for sure.

Mo Xuetong’s eyes tightened and her breathing turned quick. She pulled on Feng Yuran’s sleeves subconsciously and said, “Your Highness…” She called out softly and then bit her lips, forcing down the anxiety she felt. She could hear her heart beating loudly and the blood in her body flowing faster.

“What’s the matter?” Feng Yuran could hear the anxiousness in her voice. He lowered his head and relaxed the hand that was wrapped around her waist tightly, holding on to her hand instead. He spoke to her softly, turning his back against the stage and faced her. The light sone from behind him and she could not see his expression clearly. However, she felt that it would not be hard to make a request of him at that moment.

Perhaps he was in a good mood today because of the beautiful moon. That works out well!

“I, I want those swords.” Mo Xuetong bit her lips and pleaded softly.

“Alright!” Feng Yuran’s brows twitched slightly but he did not ask her anything else. He pulled her hand and then approached the tall stage. He patted her hand and then issued Feng Yuxuan, who was behind him, a challenging smile. Then, he went onto the stage. Feng Yuxuan looked at the riddle and then went up as well.

He, he had agreed just like that!

Mo Xuetong stretched her neck upwards from behind and then forced down the words of dissatisfaction that were at her mouth. She looked at Feng Yuran incredulously!

She was prepared to convince him with plenty of reason earlier, but he had already gone up before she could even speak. She had so many things to say but could not. This person had not only not tried to find trouble with her today and had helped her without asking her for a reason?

This, this was such a rare incident!

It was easy for them to solve the riddle especially after Feng Yuran revealed the answer to the second riddle. Feng Yuxuan did not have to put in much effort to solve the first.

The answers to the second riddle were either bayberry or starfruit! (h.o.m.ophones for Sheep gone and sheep flee)

The solution for the first riddle was naturally strawberries! (Gra.s.s gone)
