Chapter 39.1 - Incurred Jealousy (1/2)
When it comes to the country of West Chu, who could be in a position to converse on a somewhat personal level with Prince of Chu, Nalan Ye. Besides His Majesty bringing forward such a topic, only the Crown Prince, Nangong Qing would do so.
The two people’s ages were similar. One was scholarly, while the other was military. Even though their personalities were totally different, they were actually able to form a friendship in a crazy way. This was also due to Nalan Ye finding Nangong Qing to be pleasing to the eyes. Otherwise, based on his temperament, not many people could come close to him.
Facing Nangong Qing’s slightly teasing tone, Nalan Ye coldly swept him with glare. “What do you think?”
“If you’re not looking at the second Miss Luo, is it possible that you’re looking at the eldest Miss Luo?” The smiling expression within Nangong Qing’s eyes quickly disappeared. He couldn’t help but tease this old friend of his who ordinarily liked to display a face as rigid as a board. “This won’t do. The eldest Miss Luo is already married and is Fifth Younger Brother’s minor concubine. Oh, it seems she’s already with child and has been promoted to a side consort. But Ye, you must not fall for her……”
He only felt an ice-cold gaze sweeping over him. Nangong Qing shivered from head to toe and was no longer able to continue speaking.
Nalan Ye only presented him with a view of his back, since he already walked in front of him, not taking the crown prince, Nangong Qing, seriously at all. The latter laughed bitterly. Even he was at a loss when faced with Nalan Ye, even though he was already a crown prince. His identity was incomparably respectable, but each and every one of those brothers of his was not easy to deal with. He still had to depend on Nalan Ye and certainly could not allow him to be snatched away by those brothers.
Promptly following the other, Nangong Qing uttered. “Ye, where are you doing? Wait for me.”
Besides going to find Luo Qing Luan, what else would Nalan Ye be doing?
He originally thought that this Flower Bestowment Feast was awfully boring, but the empress had spoken. He more or less needed to give her face. By happy coincidence, he actually met Luo Qing Luan again, this little wild cat. Nalan Ye immediately perked up.
That lass had the pregnant Fifth Prince Side Consort, her own sister no less, pushed into the rose bushes, while she herself strutted swaggeringly away. As expected, she had quite the temper. If he didn’t go up and take a look, wouldn’t he be missing such an amusing show?
Having been followed at a distance, Luo Qing Shuang wasn’t aware at all that she had already fallen into Nalan Ye’s line of sight.
This rear garden was so big, filled with every kind of blooming flowers and magnificent scenery. The fragrance of a multitude of flowers even floated in the air. There was a different scent in each area. She had merely walked for a moment before seeing all kinds of chrysanthemums, sweet and fragrant laurel trees, and a crab-apple forest as bright red as a blazing fire.
This truly deserved to be the imperial palace’s garden. Compared to the garden within the General’s Mansion, it’s more magnificent by at least ten times.
