Chapter 59 - Banquet Raised up Waves
n
n
nBai Aoxue listened to Bai Qiwei’s words and smiled coldly without saying anything. Since he liked to stand at a high place, he would do it. It was just that his body would be smashed into pieces when he fell down.
nAnd Ye Zhaojue, who was pestered beside them, found Bai Aoxue. He walked quickly to Bai Aoxue and asked nervously: “Aoxue, where have you been?”
nAfter that, he looked at Jun Yeyan on high alert.
n
n
nBai Aoxue saw the appearance of Ye Zhaojue and smiled faintly: “Don’t worry, uncle. I just had a little trouble on the road. Thanks to 5th prince, I was saved from it.”
nBai Aoxue didn’t understand why she put in a good word for Jun Yeyan in front of Ye Zhaojue, but she subconsciously hoped that Ye Zhaojue would not hate Jun Yeyan.
nWhen Jun Yeyan heard Bai Aoxue put in a good word for him, his eyes became soft. But they turned even colder in the next second.
nJun Yeyan saw Su Mengrou among those women looking at him in obsession in the distance. His eyes were getting cold. When he looked at Su Mengrou again, he saw that she had turned to other places.
n
n
nJun Yeyan thought that he was wrong. After all, he was clear about how shocking his appearance was. How could someone be obsessed with him?
n“Hh…” Laughing at himself, Jun Yeyan looked at Bai Aoxue, who was next to him. He saw her talk to Ye Zhaojue with a sweet smile.
nThe gap which was originally empty was filled again.
nIn the distance, Su Mengrou saw Jun Yeyan looking at Bai Aoxue. She seized the handcuff tightly, but she wasn’t bold enough to let people notice.
n
n
nShe didn’t know that if she hadn’t turned her head quickly, she was destined to lose her life tonight.
n“Okay, leave it like that. Aoxue, are you going there with me or going to your father’s?” Ye Zhaojue guessed that Jun Wuhen was about to step in.
nLooking at Bai Qiwei in the distance and Bai Suxue who looked at her with hatred, Bai Aoxue said faintly: “Uncle, I am his daughter anyway. I guess I should sit with him in case of being attacked.”
nYe Zhaojue also agreed with her after thinking for a while. He didn’t care about himself, while the last thing he wanted to see was that Aoxue, a girl, was commended behind.
nThen he nodded: “Well, you should go. If there is any problem, I will come over immediately.”
nAlthough Ye Zhaojue did not say it clearly, both Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan understood his meaning. He was just afraid that Bai Qiwei and Bai Suxue would make things difficult for her.
n
n
nBai Aoxue said indifferently: “Uncle, you can rest assured. They are not talented enough to do that.” After that, she turned calmly and went towards the direction of Bai Qiwei.
nWhile eyes of those official sons were all on Bai Aoxue along with her leaving, those official’s daughters who got the cold shoulder all glared at her with hatred and harbored resentment.
nLooking at the appearances of those men, Jun Yeyan’s cold eyes gave out ferocity which couldn’t be concealed. Even Ye Zhaojue around him also noticed it and secretly observed Jun Yeyan.
nBut it seemed that Jun Yeyan changed into another person in the next second. He looked at him pleasantly and said: “Uncle, we should also go to take a seat. It’s not good to stand here.”
nYe Zhaojue looked at Jun Yeyan, who could hide his emotions so well, with surprise. He was more convinced that Jun Yeyan was not as what people said. Instead, he gave him an unfathomable feeling.
nHe did not feel oppression even beside Jun Wuhen, but that desperate atmosphere of Jun Yeyan made him feel oppressed.
nWhat kind of person did Aoxue provoke? After sighing helplessly, Ye Zhaojue said: “Let’s go. His Majesty is about to come.”
nOn the other side, when Bai Aoxue just approached Bai Qiwei, Bai Suxue’s sharp irony voice sounded, probably thinking that Bai Aoxue would not treat her bad in public.
n
n
n“Well, Miss Bai, you still know you should come here. I thought you’ve changed surname as Ye. Your uncle, General, is there.” Bai Suxue watched Bai Aoxue with resentment.
nAfter Bai Aoxue listened to Bai Suxue’s words, she sat down without caring about her. Obviously, Bai Qiwei also felt Bai Suxue reasonable, so he did not stop her.
nAnd Bai Suxue was more and more unscrupulous.
n“Hey, why don’t you speak? Do you really think that you can do anything since your uncle is a general?” Bai Suxue pretended to be disdainful.
nBai Aoxue turned to look at Bai Suxue and said faintly: “My uncle is a general. What do you have? You only have a group of hypocritical and contemptuous relatives who think that they could also rise to power if you get to the top and who do dirty things for benefits!”
nWhen Bai Aoxue’s words fell, she indicated Bai Suxue to see Su Mengrou in a distance who was pleasing others.
nLooking at that humble and forbearing face which was extremely ridiculous at the same time, Bai Aoxue sneered disdainfully.
nBai Suxue, who was arrogant, was looking at Su Mengrou, who was flattering others in the distance. She wore a sullen and hilarious look.
nBai Aoxue turned around and saw Bai Qiwei who was looking at her, then she said coldly: “Watch out her mouth. I am not in the mood to tolerate her once more. If she provokes me again, she never needs to speak anymore.”
nAfter listening to Bai Aoxue’s words, Bai Qiwei was furious. How could he not know the implication of Bai Aoxue? However, he did not expect that Bai Aoxue was so cold and bloodless.
n“You!!…” Being attacked by anger, Bai Qiwei pointed at Bai Aoxue. When he was about to swear at her, he realized that he was not at home.
nThose who have already noticed the abnormal atmosphere were all looking at them. They pried them and didn’t conceal curiosity in their eyes at all.
nBai Qiwei took a breath and laid down his hand in a huff.
n
n
n“You’d better not to ask for trouble!” Bai Qiwei gnashed his teeth in anger and looked at Bai Aoxue.
nBai Aoxue believed that if he could eat human’s meat, Bai Qiwei has already chewed her thousands of times.
nSeeing Ye Zhaojue’s inquiring sight from her opposite, Bai Aoxue felt warm and shook her head silently.
nAt this time, the shrill voice of that little eunuch once again resounded throughout the Royal Garden.
n“His Majesty has arrived! Concubine Yun has arrived!”
nAll the officials and their family members all saluted immediately.
n“Long live the emperor!”
n“Blessing Her Highness Concubine Yun!”
nBeing surrounded by people, Jun Wuhen slowly walked through the crowd, and came to the throne that had already been prepared for him.
n“All the people stand up!”
n“Thank you, His Majesty!” After paying gratitude, everyone slowly stood up.
nBai Aoxue, who stood in the crowd and felt bored, watched Jun Wuhen who was sitting on the high seat and Liu Manyun who was beside him. Both of them were wearing gorgeous clothes today.
nIt was obvious that they got dressed up meticulously, especially Liu Manyun. Although she was young, her whole face had already been smeared excessively.
nThe age of the twenties may be very young in the 21st century, while compared with younger girls, her youth has gone in such an ancient time.
nAlthough she was well-dressed, there was a clear gap between her and many other girls present.
nThen she looked at Jun Wuhen who seemed to be handsome, upright and righteous, while Bai Aoxue knew that such a person was the most sinister one.
nJun Wuhen looked at his officials down stairs, the corners of his mouth picking up a satisfactory smile. When he just wanted to talk, the sharp voice of that small eunuch sounded again.
n“Prince Peerless of Nanyue has arrived!”
nWhen everyone heard the name, they looked at the gate and even were more excited than seeing Jun Wuhen.
nSome girls have already begun to take out the prepared mirrors and quickly checked their appearances.
n“Princess Luoyan of Mobei has arrived!” It was that sound again, while this time, it was official sons’ turns to check their appearances.
nBai Aoxue looked at Jun Yeyan involuntarily and wanted to see if he was looking at the entrance with the crowd.
nHowever, she found that Jun Yeyan was also looking at her. It turned out that their original thoughts were the same. They couldn’t help smiling and turned away their sights.
nFinally, in the expectation of everyone, Qi Liange and Luoyan and their servants walked in successively.
nWhen those women saw Qi Liange, they were all stunned and restrained their shouts.
nWhat’s more, somebody even fainted.
nWhen those men saw Luoyan, their reaction were quite the same as women’s.
nIn the entire Royal Garden, there was probably only Bai Aoxue, Jun Yeyan and Ye Zhaojue had no reactions.
nJun Wuhen looked at those two people who made him out of the limelight and even forgot to cover up his sights. He watched Qi Liange with jealousy and resentment, while his eyes were filled with greed and amazement when he looked at Luoyan.
nLooking at Jun Wuhen who behaved like this, Bai Aoxue’s mouth twitched.
n“I visit Chengxi on behalf of Nanyue this time. Please forgive me if the trip is offensive.” The pleasant voice of Qi Liange was blown by the breeze.
nAnd Jun Wuhen came back to himself and regained his gaze awkwardly: “Prince Peerless’s visit brings radiance to Chengxi!”
n“Lord Chengxi, you are too polite. This time, I bring a little gift to show my sincerity. I hope that you could accept it!” Qi Liange looked at Jun Wuhen with profound meaning.
nJun Wuhen looked at Qi Liange with surprise: “Since it is given by Prince Peerless, I will indeed cherish it.”
nQi Liange smiled and said: “Suxiao, bring it here!”
nThey only saw that Suxiao led a few people and took a huge rosewood box in after Qi Liange’s word fell.
nThat box could probably hold a thin woman.
nJust when everyone wondered what was inside, Qi Liange didn’t create mystery and ordered: “Suxiao, open it.”
nThe rosewood box was slowly opened in the expectation of everyone.
nWhen everyone saw the object in the box, the surroundings seemed to be still. No one made a sound and the garden was terribly quiet.
nSince the box opened, Bai Aoxue saw the hot and admiring gaze of Jun Wuhen kept sticking at the object in the box.
nShe saw that Ye Zhaojue slightly frowned.
nShe also saw Bai Qiwei, who stood beside her, slipped then almost fell. His eyes were stuffed with incredibility.
nIn the end, she saw Jun Yeyan turned cold instantly. That pair of strong bloodthirsty maniac eyes seemed to burn with raging fire, which was going to make a hole on the statue in the box with his gaze.
nYes, the object in the box was a sculpture which was made of warm white jade. That was a woman who was graceful and delicate like a fairy.
nThat woman’s narrow and long phoenix-like eyes made Bai Aoxue feel familiar, as if she has seen her before, but she could not remember it.
nBai Aoxue had seen sculptures. There were also warm white jade sculptures in Louis Cha’s Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, while that was not true. Now Bai Aoxue saw it. The textual one.
nBai Aoxue even could clearly see the unpredictable light of that warm white jade.
nIt was inexplicable and soul-stirring which made people wonder who the artist was to create such a superb work of art. The most amazing thing was the woman’s peerless appearance.
nThose people present all gradually came back to themselves. Among people who all had their own thoughts, whom Bai Aoxue paid attention to was only Jun Yeyan, since that sculpture caused an impact on him.
nShe could feel it.
n“Hhh… good! Wonderful! This is the best gift that I have ever received. Presumably Prince Peerless made a lot of effort!” The happy voice resounded throughout the Royal Garden.
n
