C146 (1/2)
Because of this, she rarely saw Nangong Yan. She only knew that he had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and his shrewdness was deep. He was good at interpersonal relationships and was popular among the civil and military officials. He should be a smart guy.
Everyone sat down, the atmosphere was a bit too solemn and serious.
The people who accompanied Nangong Xiu today were all high-ranking officials of the Imperial Court. Furthermore, if this matter was not handled properly, they would be punished by the emperor. Everyone knew that they were dragged down as a scapegoat by Nangong Xiu, so they did not speak up.
On the other hand, the Second Prince casually said, ”Hehe! This Fragrant Sky restaurant is indeed impressive, the guests waiting at the entrance have lined up in a long line, if I did not bid farewell at my fourth brother's place and follow him, I'm afraid I would not have been able to get in, let alone this top class VIP box! ”
Bing Ying said: ”Second Prince is too modest! The second prince's identity was well-known, and he was the dragon and phoenix amongst men! As long as the Second Prince admired him, the doors to the Fragrant Sky restaurant would always be open for the Second Prince! Of course, the condition is that the Second Prince has set up a VIP card in our restaurant, so that we can reserve a seat for the Second Prince! ”
Nan Gong Yan laughed amiably: ”Young Noble Wang is an interesting person! Hehe! Actually, This King came here today to see the legendary Divine Beast. It's really a great regret that I didn't personally come to see yesterday's grand occasion! ”
Bing Ying said, ”Naturally, divine beasts won't appear here! Otherwise, wouldn't I be persecuted by even more people? ”
Nangong Xiu coldly said, ”Do you think that beast was persecuted?”
Bing Ying said: ”No one offends me! I'm not a prisoner! Divine beasts also had life! ”If it wasn't for the fact that it was being chased down by humans, it wouldn't have resisted and hurt us, right?”
Nangong Xiu said coldly, ”Arguably!”
Bing Ying said: ”Your position is completely not on the side of the divine beasts! You're just taking your own stand! ”
Nangong Xiu said, ”Don't tell me that an animal hurting someone makes sense? Life is not more valuable than an animal's life? ”
Bing Ying said, ”Do you think that life is more valuable than an animal's?”
Nangong Xiu said, ”Naturally!”
Bing Ying sneered, ”What about the Crown Prince and the civilians?”
Nangong Xiu said, ”About that …”
Bing Ying said, ”You think the Crown Prince is more valuable than the commoners?”
Nangong Xiu was silent!
Nan Gong Yan came out to smooth things over and laughed: ”Haha! The Crown Prince must be more valuable than the commoners, right? Otherwise, if everyone were to become commoners, no one would want to become the crown prince! ”
Bing Ying gave a cold smile and said: ”All living things are equal! We all have mothers and fathers, why should you all be so noble? But what about others? ”
Nangong Xiu coldly scolded, ”Ridiculous! People were born in different grades! It's different whether you are noble or lowly! ”
Bing Ying said, ”People are indeed divided into different grades! But let me tell you, all beings are equal! Life doesn't distinguish between noble and lowly! ”I can't explain it to you so there's no need for us to argue about it. Since you've come today and brought so many officials with you, I'm afraid you're here to settle the issue as well, right?”
Nangong Xiu said, ”Naturally!”
His appearance was cold, but his heart was filled with surprise!
All beings are equal?
Life doesn't distinguish between noble and lowly?
Why did this ridiculous argument seem to make sense to him?
Although he could not understand what was going on, why was it that he could not accept that the Crown Prince and the commoners were equal, that humans and animals were equal? But why was it that in his heart, he felt that these words contained truths that he could not understand?
Why did this happen?
[Why does he sound like a man?]
That reckless, eccentric woman of his!
What was the relationship between him and a woman?
Last night when he went to Wutong Street, he did not see the woman. Moreover, he knew that his woman had always been in the habit of sneaking out at night. Although he was very magnanimous and had never interfered, he was, of course, also very curious!
However, he couldn't suppress his curiosity. He really wanted to know, if a woman often went out in the middle of the night, and wasn't fooling around, then what exactly was she doing?
Was it related to this Young Master Wang?
He even had an absurd idea. He felt that this Young Master Wang might be a woman disguised as him!
He knew that the woman would usually do all sorts of weird things, and disguising herself as a man was also a very common thing to do!
In the dim candlelight, Nangong Xiu carefully sized up this Young Master Wang. He had delicate skin and delicate facial features. Indeed, he did not look like a boorish man!
And he doesn't seem to have a beard or a Adam's apple...
Could he really be a woman?
If this were the case...
Then it was very likely that he was a woman in disguise!
Why didn't the candle light up a little?
This way, he could see even more clearly!
Bing Ying sat with her back facing the light. Even though Nangong Xiu's eyes were like torches, she could not see clearly. He wished she could light a hundred candles in the room and illuminate the room as if it were daytime, so that he could clearly see this' man 'up close!
Was he a man or a woman?
