Chapter 74 (1/2)

“Your Majesty is exaggerating, Chen Qie is unable to accept that praise.” Upon hearing the compliment, Xia Yuqing’s face blushed and she hurriedly bent her head down, fl.u.s.tered.

In an instant, sweet pink hearts could be seen flying out between the two as they stood staring at each other from a distance with a bunch of cupids flying all around. That golden sparkle flashed directly at the crowd on the side, almost blinding their eyes.

“Blarghhhh!!” (vomited sounds), Xia Mingxi was the first one to admit defeat. Silently squatting to one side, he tried to sooth his poor soul that had been shattered by the qin music.

Xia Mingyuan’s complexion also wasn’t good. Looking at the the two people expressing their deep feelings on stage, then s.h.i.+fting his gaze to see the perfectly fine Yan Ran and group, he gnashed his teeth that had a mouthful of blood and said: “Your Majesty’s taste is really like the rumours…so unique. Your Majesty and my younger sister being able to reach this… level of deep affection, if my royal father knew about this, he would definitely be pleased.”

Upon hearing this, Shao Zitang raised his eyebrows. There was a trace of ridicule on his lips: “The Emperor and Niang Niang are a pair of spouse that are very much in love. The imperial court and the imperial harem are living together in harmony and overflowing with happiness. It is the blessing of our Ye’s citizens.”

Xia Mingyuan’s blood once again swelled up to his throat and directly rushed forward from his mouth, oozing out a blood stain at the corner of his mouth. Xia Mingyuan coldly snorted, then got up and slowly walked toward Xia Yuqing.

Xia Yuqing who was coming down from the jade podium saw Xia Mingyuan coming toward her. Her heartbeat immediately dropped and her footsteps slowed down as well.

Seeing this, Liu Yixiang hurriedly wanted to get up and help, but she was stopped by Leng Ruofeng.

“You….”

Leng Ruofeng shook his head at her then moved his eyes elsewhere. Following his gaze, Liu Yixiang saw Feng Tingye who was not far away from them, slightly squinting his eyes, silently watching the two people. It seemed as if he had not the slightest intention to interfere.

Liu Yixiang let out a sigh. Deciding to not interfere, she returned to her seat.

Xia Yuqing’s heart trembled with fear as she watched Xia Mingyuan walked closer and closer towards her. Calling out with a stiff face: “Eldest Imperial Brother….”

“Eldest Imperial Brother? This prince, cannot receive the honour of Niang Niang calling me Eldest Brother.” Then using a low voice that only the two of them could hear, he sneered: “So, who are you exactly?”

“Er…..” The little person inside Xia Yuqing’s heart had cheeks streaming with tears. As expected, she was exposed?
