nFeng Qing escorted Luo Qianqian in the Imperial Palace, Luo Qianqian was amazed Feng Qing knew the way so well in this mazelike palace. Luo Qianqian didn’t remember the way at all even though she had been to the palace once for the emperor’s birthday.

nLuo Qianqian went to greet Her Highness Imperial Noble Consort first in Red Joy Palace, Murong Xue was waiting for Luo Qianqian already, they agreed to go to the Flower Admiring Gathering to keep each other company.

nLuo Qianqian felt happy on the way to Red Joy Palace, she liked to spend time with Imperial Noble Consort. She found there was some dust on her sleeve under a palace lantern, she wouldn’t be bothered if it were some other day, but this day she was going to see the Imperial Noble Consort, so she stopped and whisked away the dust.

nBut a stranger’s face came to her sight when she raised her head.

nLuo Qianqian slapped this person who emerged out of nowhere!

n“Ouch!” that person groaned. In hindsight, Luo Qianqian realized she might have slapped this person a little too hard than necessary, especially now she was a whole lot more stronger than normal people since she had been learning martial arts.

nBut she didn’t regret it, not after she had recognized who this ‘stranger’ was. Actually she had recognized this person before she slapped him, it was the Crown Prince Mu Chaoyang.

n

n

nLuo Qianqian hated it that Mu Chaoyang was standing right next to her and it looked like Mu Chaoyang was ready to come even closer if Luo Qianqian hadn’t slapped him.

nFeng Qing turned around after he heard Mu Chaoyang’s groan, he soon figured what had happened, Mu Chaoyang tried to approach Her Highness and Her Highness defended herself so well.

nFeng Qing couldn’t help applauding for Luo Qianqian in his heart, ‘Well done, Your Highness! I’m so proud of you, I’m sure my master will clap for you too!’

nMu Chaoyang was still groaning after quite a little while.

n

n

nLuo Qianqian took a few steps forward and pretended she had just recognized him, “Amida Buddha, it’s you, Crown Prince!”

nAnd the next second she pretended she was so guilty, “I am so sorry, Your Highness. It’s so dark and I couldn’t make out who it is, I thought you were some assassin lurking in the Palace. I’m so sorry for what I have done, Your Highness!”

nNo warned, no fault.

nWhat Luo Qianqian said sounded so real and convincing, Mu Chaoyang had no reason to not believe her, let alone to punish her.

nMu Chaoyang was actually somewhat glad that Luo Qianqian wasn’t giving him a poker face now, yes, the slap was painful, but it was worth it.

nMu Chaoyang shook his hand and said, “No, it’s my fault, I was trying to pull a prank and startle you, it’s my fault, have I startled you, Qianqian?”

n

n

nLuo Qianqian frowned on hearing ‘Qianqian’.

nShe fought back the urge to slap Mu Chaoyang again, “Your Highness, have you forgotten already? We’ve talked about this, don’t call me Qianqian again, it’s not proper.” with that Luo Qianqian exchanged a look with Feng Qing who was walking this way, Feng Qing halted on getting Luo Qianqian’s signal.

nFeng Qing snickered, he knew Luo Qianqian was going to tease Mu Chaoyang.

nMu Chaoyang didn’t want to risk this opportunity of getting to know more of Luo Qianqian, he laughed and changed the way he addressed Luo Qianqian, “Yeah, I indeed have forgotten. How about Fourth Lady? Please don’t get me wrong, I just want to get to know you more and be close to you… …”

n‘Close to me?’

n‘Close your axx?’

n‘I don’t like the sound of it at all! I am engaged already, to your brother! What a scumbag are you? Trying to get close to your future sister-in-law?’

nLuo Qianqian put on a fake smile, “I don’t think it’s necessary. I need to excuse myself now, Her Highness Imperial Noble Consort is still waiting for me in Red Joy Palace.”

n

n

nWith that Luo Qianqian left, she had no intention to spend one more second with that Mu Chaoyang, it baffled her why that Mu Chaoyang was still pressing ahead with his sinister ‘seducing Luo Qianqian’ designs.

nThe more she loathed Mu Chaoyang, the more she appreciated Murong Yun, and she blamed herself for thinking about Murong Yun again.

nWith that she walked past Mu Chaoyang.

n“Hey, young lady over there, the Crown Prince doesn’t say you can leave now, come back already!” one of Mu Chaoyang’s flunkey shouted at Luo Qianqian, but Luo Qianqian had totally ignored that.

nMu Chaoyang turned around and scolded the flunkey, “Who do you think you are talking to? That’s the Fourth Lady of Prime Minister Luo’s, she gets to do whatever she wants.”

nThe more aloof Luo Qianqian was, the more Mu Chaoyang fell for her, Mu Chaoyang had never felt this way before.

n“Fourth Lady, I understand you are busy at the moment, but can I request the pleasure of your company after the the Flower Admiring Gathering?” Mu Chaoyang was unwilling to give up.

nLuo Qianqian’s lips twitched, she couldn’t believe how stubborn Mu Chaoyang was being. She kept on walking and ignored Mu Chaoyang’s question.

nShe couldn’t believe Mu Chaoyang couldn’t tell she hated him.

nLuo Yuyan and Hongyu arrived at the palace now, this was the fourth time that Luo Yuyan had been to the palace, so she knew the way well.

nLuo Yuyan kept asking Hongyu about her makeup and outfit.

nHongyu comforted her lady, “You look gorgeous today, people are here for the Flower Admiring Gathering, but in my opinion, you are that flower that deserves to be admired.”

nHearing that, Luo Yuyan beamed with smiles, “I only want to be admired by one person tonight, the Crown Prince.”

n

n

n“Don’t worry, my lady, I;m sure the Crown Prince can’t take his eyes off you!”

n“Hongyu…”, Luo Yuyan meant to ask Hongyu one more question but Hongyu halted and covered Luo Yuyan’s mouth, “My lady, the Crown Prince is right there!”

nLuo Yuyan quickened her steps and bowed to Mu Chaoyang, “Greetings, Your Highness.”

nLuo Yuyan’s outfit was specially selected, it was a low cut design with a push up effect on the chest… …
