Forsaken Immortals Chapter 168 - The Crown Princes Hatred

Chapter 168 - The Crown Prince's Hatred Bai Rouyun and Little Chu sensed the hostility which was aimed at her, but when they noticed who it was, neither of them took action.
While they knew that the Crown Prince hated both her and Li Moyun, they had no interest in taking him seriously. He was not capable of causing any real problems, and they still had to consider the blood relationship between the princes.
Bai Rouyun was aware that the Crown Prince disliked her. She was not pleasing to his eye, but the main reason for his dislike was Li Moyun.
The Crown Prince hated Li Moyun. Although he had been given the title of the Crown Prince, he was painfully aware that Li Moyun was better than him at everything.
If it were not because of his mother, who was the empress, then the Crown Prince title would not have been his, and he lived in constant fear that Li Moyun would some day take over his position.
The Crown Prince was used to being the second most revered person back in the Richu Empire. He was used to the lavish lifestyle and to look down on everyone else.

His mother had told him, from as long back as he could remember, that this all belonged to him. She had also warned him time and time again of his brothers trying to scheme, or force their way to take what was rightfully his.
Their other brothers had never posed much of a threat to the Crown Prince. However, Li Moyun, who had been born roughly the same time as him, was much more successful, both in cultivation, and in his war campaigns.
The common people were much more grateful towards Li Moyun than they were towards the Crown Prince, and while they did not try to get involved in the court intrigues, they all knew who they wanted as their Emperor.
When the Crown Prince tried to make problems for Li Moyun, he would look at him like an emperor would look at an ant, with utter disregard and disdain.
This feeling, of being looked down upon, was the worst thing that the Crown Prince had ever experienced before. The feeling of being worth less than the mud on the road made him so angry and hateful that he wished that he could rip Li Moyun apart and destroy his life.
Bai Rouyun threw away all thoughts of the Crown Prince as soon as she looked at Qin Huiling, who stood by her side once more. She smiled gently and then threw a quick glance around the street.
There were many restaurants and inns located on the street they were currently walking down upon, and Bai Rouyun quickly decided on one that looked decent.

It was a relatively small restaurant, but it was clean, and the buildings were well maintained.
Bai Rouyun headed straight towards the entrance with Qin Huiling and Little Chu right behind her. As she entered, she found that a cozy and soft dim light illuminated the tables, and that most of them were occupied.
A gentle buzzing of voices could be heard as the guests were conversing with one another.
"A table for three?" A waiter had come to their side the moment they entered, and Bai Rouyun nodded her head. This place had a great atmosphere. The scent in the air was heavenly, and everyone seemed to be in a brilliant mood.
The three of them were guided towards a table in a corner where the light was dim, but it was the perfect place to oversee the entire restaurant.
The waiter introduced the menu and recommended a few dishes. Every one of them ordered their own preferred dishes, and while they were somewhat expensive, they did not hold back.
Seeing that this trio was willing to splurge on a good meal, the waiter was feeling happy and hurried to the kitchen to put in the order ticket.

It did not take long for the food to be on the table. It was so fragrant and enticing that Qin Huiling had to swallow her saliva to avoid drooling. Little Chu noticed her excited gaze, and instantly realized that she was a foodie.
Then he glanced at Bai Rouyun, and while she seemed more restrained, her shining eyes betrayed her emotions. Shaking his head, he could only wonder if all women were actually a glutton in disguise.
The three of them began digging into the food. It was truly a magnificent meal, and all of them were in a great mood as they drank wine and ate their food while chatting. Even Little Chu was drinking wine.
Initially, he had declined and even refused to touch alcohol, but Bai Rouyun had told him that he was not there as her bodyguard, but as her brother, and that he had to share a drink with her.
He truly feared that something unexpected would happen, and thus he did not drink much wine.
It did not take long before Bai Rouyun and Qin Huiling had gotten drunk. While they were drunk, they were not annoying, they were having fun, and their pearl-like laughter sometimes rang out from the corner of the restaurant.
They did not annoy anyone, but some would glance at them from time to time, curious as to who they were.
As the night grew, the restaurant had fewer and fewer guests. However, the mood of Bai Rouyun and Qin Huiling was as good as ever, and even the waiters who came to refill their wine and dishes were smitten by the atmosphere.
It was not before the restaurant closed that Little Chu gently began leading the two women out of the establishment, and back home to the mansion.
