Chapter 302 - Bai Yifeng Uses Her as a Chess Piece (2/2)

Bai Yichen recalled how he had always lost to Bai Yihao and decided that he was going to ruin Bai Yihao’s plan this time no matter what happened. He would not let Bai Yihao succeed again. Marrying the Fifth Princess was a conclusion that he had come to after a discussion with the Empress. It was the best solution no matter how they looked at it. He would not mess up just because of a few mushy words Bai Yihao said.

He had to marry the Fifth Princess.

He could not help but turn to look at Mo Xuetong. He could see her even more clearly now that she was so close. She was truly beautiful and looked like a picture. Her eyes were innocent and yet charming. Even in her anger, her beauty was startling.

Her beauty and her charm were something that all men would like to possess. Bai Yichen sighed to himself once more. Yet, compared to his nation, the beauty was just not as important.

You Yuecheng, who was standing on Bai Yihao’s other side, could not help but feel upset. One could even vaguely sense his anger.

Mo Xuetong looked at him in confusion. She did not understand why he was glaring at her viciously. Other than what happened to Mo Xuemin, she had no other interactions with the Ming Duke’s Son. How had she annoyed him?

Mo Xuetong looked away because the most important thing right now was to deal with Bai Yihao. She walked alongside them and they slowly moved forward. The young ladies all followed closely beside Mo Xuetong. It was an extremely lucky thing for them to be able to accompany the handsome men.

Perhaps because Mo Xuetong had spoken rather impolitely, Bai Yihao was rendered speechless for the moment. He touched his nose with a slight smile and did not speak. A cloud of silence fell among them.

They could hear the leisurely music after pa.s.sing a fake mountain. The voice was gentle and clear. It sounded like the pa.s.sing clouds and flowing water and was mesmerizing. A peach blossom forest appeared before them. There were already a few blossoms on the branches. They were partially bloomed and the place was beautiful, it was as if they had been in heaven. The wind blew and a woman sat before a Qin under the blossoms.

Her clothes fluttered in the wind. She wore a pink flowy dress with eight pleats. Her hair was adorned with a gold hairpin with dangling pearls. It complimented her beauty and her pale white skin. She was the most beautiful woman, Ling Fengyan and the girl standing beside her was her younger sister, Ling Rui’er.

Ling Rui’er saw that everyone was looking at her elder sister. She grew even more pleased and stood even taller. She looked at Mo Xuetong in an unfriendly manner.

Mo Xuetong was secretly surprised when she saw that they were all looking at her in such an unfriendly manner. However, she could only follow the crowd and approached the two.

Ling Fengyan stood up when she saw Bai Yihao approaching. She curtsied deeply to Bai Yihao and said, “Greetings, Sir Bai. Greetings, Your Highness.”

“Second Miss Ling, please, stand.” Bai Yihao reached out and waved his hand, gesturing for her to get up with a smile.

Ling Fengyan stood up and smiled at You Yuecheng and Mo Xuetong. She was very polite and elegant. She was indeed a good match for Feng Yuxuan, especially when one took note of the details.

“Second Miss Ling, you are indeed the most beautiful woman of Qin. Your beauty is ravis.h.i.+ng and King Chu is really blessed to be able to marry such a beautiful woman.” Bai Yihao sized Ling Fengyan up and said with a smile.

The news of Ling Fengyan marrying Feng Yuxuan had already been announced. However, Ling Fengyan still blushed slightly when someone brought it up. She lowered her head and answered, “First Prince, you are too kind. I do not deserve such praise.”

“It is certainly my fault for interrupting Second Miss Ling’s playing the Qin. Please, continue. We will leave after we listen to you.” Bai Yihao said with a warm smile. His eyes grazed over Mo Xuetong as if he was seeking her opinion.

Mo Xuetong wanted to leave desperately. She did not know what was going on today. Bai Yihao kept trying to bring other’s attention to them. The Fifth Princess was not here either, who was he trying to aggravate into attacking her? Bai Yichen? Mo Xuetong’s heart skipped a beat. She felt that something was wrong. She took two steps backward subconsciously, increasing the distance between her and Bai Yihao. She could not hide the anger in her eyes.

“Sir Bai, I still have something on. I shall take my leave.” She did not even want to say anything else to him and she turned to leave.

She was telling everyone clearly that she did not like Bai Yihao at all!

It would save herself from being used as Bai Yihao’s chess piece!

Earlier, she had suddenly realized why Bai Yihao was doing so. The man was trying to use her to destroy the marriage between the First Prince of Yan and the Fifth Princess!

Mo Xuetong had received the sudden epiphany at that moment and her heart beat wildly. Her palms were filled with cold sweat! She could sense how unwell she felt as she held on to Mo Ye. She held on to Mo Ye tightly and managed to stop herself from falling due to her legs weakening.

“Princess Anping, please wait.” The voice of a girl sounded from behind her.

Mo Xuetong paused for a moment. After realizing it was not Bai Yihao, she heaved a sigh of relief and turned around to see Ling Rui’er speaking to her with an unhappy expression.

“Rui’er, what’s the matter?” Ling Fengyan asked softly. She looked at her younger sister in confusion.

“Second Sister, don’t worry. I have something to ask Princess Anping.” Ling Rui’er moved forward to stand in front of Mo Xuetong menacingly. She pointed at the hairpin in her hair and asked, “Princess Anping, where did you get this hairpin?”

Not far away around a corner, Consort Yu approached with a few palace maids and eunuchs with a smile on her face.
