Chapter 41.1 - Deliberately Looking for a Fight (1/2)
That exquisite young lady with a peach blossom applied on her forehead was lounging languidly next to Empress Wang, when she immediately fixed her gaze on Nalan Ye. Her eyes seemed as if they were radiating light rays. Once her previously uninterested attitude changed and she looked at Luo Qing Luan again, her heart already flooded which enough hate to make her teeth itch.
Today, Nangong Wan’er actually dressed up very meticulously to come. Even though this Flower Bestowment Feast was put together for the sake of helping her elder brother find a wife, it didn’t stop her from coming for a chance to join in on the fun. As an esteemed princess among so many noble young ladies, her female pride certainly was present all the more. She especially even had the palace maids dressed and groomed her more than usual.
However, she didn’t expect that Brother Nalan would surprisingly also come. This was really a nice surprise.
Even though last time, Nalan Ye kicked her out of his mansion, Nangong Wan’er had not given up in the slightest. She was previously too unruly and provoked Brother Nalan into annoyance. She could just make corrections in the future, that’s all.
Still, Nangong Wan’er absolutely never thought that Nalan Ye, who had never been interested in girls before, would take the initiative to open his mouth and ask Luo Qing Luan to play the zither. Was it possible that he liked her? He surprisingly was interested in Luo Qing Luan? How was that possible!
At the moment, her gaze chilled. Nangong Wan’er glared rigidly at Luo Qing Luan. As long as she dared to play another tune, let’s see if she wouldn’t have people smash the zither to shreds!
“I’m sorry……”
Who would’ve thought, Luo Qing Luan didn’t even spare a glance at Nalan Ye before she replied. “I’m a bit tired and don’t want to play anymore.”
Nalan Ye’s eyebrows creased. Everyone thought that he would be angry. In the end, he didn’t say anything at all and didn’t even open his mouth, seemingly just letting things go.
Not only Nangong Wan’er, even Wen Wan and the other young ladies were also shocked. They didn’t expect that Luo Qing Luan would go as far as to publicly refuse Nalan Ye. This was His Highness the Prince of Chu we’re talking about, which girl didn’t like him, didn’t daydream about him? The Prince of Chu who had always been cold and icy and who was not easily moved by a young woman was surprisingly rejected?
“Luo Qing Luan, you sure have the gall. You actually dare to refuse! I want to hear a song right now, are you going to play, or not?” Nangong Wan’er was no longer to stand it and screamed out loud. If Brother Nalan wasn’t present, she would’ve immediately charged over and give Luo Qing Luan a lesson.
Luo Qing Luan had not spoken when Nangong Qing already opened his mouth. “Third Sister, what are you doing? Miss Luo is too tired and doesn’t want to play. She should rest for a bit, you shouldn’t force her.”
Nangong Wan’er stared blankly. Perceiving that the brother who had always loved her dearly was speaking out for that girl, her mood darkened even more. At that moment, she became enraged and her expression became hostile. “My crown prince brother, you’re actually helping her? I insist on hearing her play. What, a majestic princess like me still shouldn’t be given this honor?”
“Wan’er, don’t make a scene.” Empress Wang helplessly shook her head.
She could tell that her daughter felt jealous, because of that single request from Nalan Ye. However, she understood even more clearly that Nalan Ye and her own daughter were not a good match at all. It’s better to forget about it.
