Wild Princess: Marrying an Ugly Prince Chapter 226 - Be a Target of Public Criticism Again

Chapter 226 Be a Target of Public Criticism Again

Although these officials following Qi Liange to leave didn’t have much time to think about the interdependence between Bai Aoxue and Qi Liange, it did not mean that no one thought about it.
Liu Muwei glanced at Bai Aoxue deeply but had some labile presentiment in his heart.
Did the crown prince encounter something unknown to them this time when he was in the Chengxi Dynasty?
Although he was not very clear about Qi Liange’s character, he knew a little about him. Qi Liange had never invited a female to watch peach blossoms in the Beiyang Mountain since he was a child.
Even Princess Muyuan, the closest sister of him, didn’t have such a privilege!
But Bai Aoxue…, was merely a female among many women that Qi Liange had met in Chengxi Dynasty, not to mention that she had already got married!
But Qi Liange actually invited her to watch peach blossoms in the Beiyang Mountain! Such a thing…, would make a big splash definitely if people of the Nanyue Dynasty knew it!
This was a no-brainer which people knew without a second thought.
Although his daughter married Qi Liange, Qi Liange didn’t pay any attention to her at all and was indifferent to her till now. Even he began to wonder if Qi Liange had an unmentionable disease, but Qi Liange showed his interest in Bai Aoxue!
Anyway, he must eradicate such an intention in the bud early. Otherwise, such an intention in the bud would thrive and go against his plan as well as his daughter’s happiness.
It seemed that he had to go to the Imperial Palace and see the empress as soon as possible, who was the queen mother of Qi Liange, after all. He would listen to her opinions even if there was something wrong.
Thinking like this, Liu Muwei was more determined in his eyes. He had to prevent everything unpredictable from happening!
Although Bai Aoxue looked the same as usual, she had already wanted to cut Jun Yeyan into pieces in her heart! How could he say that in public? Even though she was too naive, she could understand Jun Yeyan’s underlying meaning in his words!
She glared at Jun Yeyan angrily when she went directly towards the carriage. Then she entered it swiftly, leaving a view of back to Jun Yeyan.
Jun Yeyan reached out and pointed at the tip of his nose spontaneously, glancing at Nalan Youhong with some embarrassment.
Since entering the Nanyue Dynasty, Zhao had hidden alone in case someone could recognize him, which would make Jun Yeyan’s identity exposed.
The people of the Nanyue Dynasty gathered on the sides of the roads to watch Jun Yeyan and others. Many of them wanted to appreciate the 5th Princess, who was indescribably beautiful and striking. But unfortunately, Bai Aoxue closed her eyes to rest her mind at this time in the carriage.
“Miss, what do you think the intention of Prince Peerless is on earth?” Mumian asked Bai Aoxue indignantly while looking at her.
In their eyes, Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan were the most matched couple. Both of them were so delightful together that no one could break their relationship at all!
Even though it was Prince Peerless, who was really a most unusual and quite individual handsome man, the result would be the same!
It was sure that Prince would be more dazzling than Prince Peerless if he was as handsome as Prince Peerless! They knew it clearly in their hearts like a mirror after such a long time’s contact with him.
They knew that Jun Yeyan was actually not as outsiders said at all. He disguised himself like this for some reason, after all. Since their Miss chose to believe him, then they were the same!
Bai Aoxue opened her eyes slowly and watched the clear blue sky outside the curtains blown by the breeze.
“Who knows? There is no need to care what he is thinking because it is none of my business anyway.” Bai Aoxue said indifferently with her pale red lips opened gently.
There was some calmness in her words, which was inconsistent with her age but at the same time was more convincing.
Hearing the words of Bai Aoxue, Mumian and others all felt relieved.
“But, Miss, Prince Peerless obviously has made you in the teeth of the storm and caused you to be the target of public criticism by saying like this. I believe that things will not be peaceful at the banquet tonight!” But Wenxi frowned and said while looking at Bai Aoxue.
Wenxi was right. Qi Liange intended to make Bai Aoxue in the teeth of the storm. Even though he did so, he would not leave Bai Aoxue alone, which was exactly what he wanted.
He wanted everyone to conjecture, to fantasy, and to be suspicious of Bai Aoxue because of his words, making her a target of public criticism. By doing so, even Jun Yeyan as a prince could do nothing to protect her well in the foreign land which did not belong to him.
And he would be the only person who could protect Bai Aoxue well!
He just wanted to warn Jun Yeyan by doing so in such a way.
He was the only person who could protect Bai Aoxue, and only he was able to protect her!
“Ho… Qi Liange has looked down on me indeed. I have been a target of public criticism so many times. Do I need to be protected by Jun Yeyan? Although I am in the foreign land which I am not familiar with, I need not to rely on anyone but live at my will!” Bai Aoxue raised the corners of her mouth coldly, and a cold stream of light flashed away in her eyes.
“But Miss…, after all, we are in the Nanyue Dynasty, which is different from the Chengxi Dynasty, and many things will go against us. We don’t want you to be hurt.” Watching Bai Aoxue, Wenxi said hesitantly.
On hearing Wenxi’s words, Bai Aoxue knew that Wenxi was concerned about her.
“Don’t worry. No matter what I do, I will do it in moderation. I have said that I would take you back to Chengxi Dynasty safely. You have my words.” Bai Aoxue said with a clear and light smile.
Wenxi was relieved with her hanging heart dropping after hearing Bai Aoxue’s promise.
“After we get out of the carriage, you shouldn’t call me Miss in front of outsiders. If it is heard by an observant and conscientious person, it will do harm to both Jun Yeyan and me.” Bai Aoxue ordered calmly while looking at these three people.
Hearing that, these three people, including Wenxi and Mumian, all knew what Bai Aoxue meant. They kept calling her Miss because they were used to it. Prince and Princess didn’t care about it at all. Even Prince’s men thought it was very normal. But if it was heard by outsiders, such an appellation would be different and inappropriate.
And such an appellation would have some effects on Prince indeed.
“We understand, Princess.” Mumian stuck out her tongue naughtily and said while looking at Bai Aoxue.
Watching Mumian acting like this, Bai Aoxue smiled lightly and said, “Don’t be found out.”
“Yes! We remember that.”
“Xue, we are here.” An indifferent and elegant voice of Jun Yeyan came from outside the carriage, interrupting these several women’s talking and laughing.
On hearing the voice of Jun Yeyan, Bai Aoxue changed her color and faked to be angry, making Mumian and others cannot help laughing.
After Mumian and others all tidied up properly, they got out of the carriage with packs of clothes.
Opening the curtains, Wenxi held Bai Aoxue to walk down from the carriage.
Watching Jun Yeyan beside her, Bai Aoxue seemed to overlook him intentionally. When she was just about to pass by Jun Yeyan, he grasped her slim arm with a hand at once.
“You…” When Bai Aoxue raised her head, she met with Jun Yeyan’s ingratiatory eyes, making her heart soft no matter how tough it was.
“The 5th prince and the 5th Princess, this is always the post house for envoys from Chengxi Dynasty to be put up when they come to the Nanyue Dynasty. I’ve asked someone to have everything cleaned and ready, only waiting for our distinguished guests to check in. As for your security, I have arranged lots of officers and men to guard, so you will be in no danger definitely.” Liu Muwei said scrupulously when he walked to the side of Jun Yeyan and Bai Aoxue timely.
Jun Yeyan raised his eyelids with indifference and observed the post house as well as its surroundings. Then he said coldly, “Sorry to bother you, Prime Minister Liu.”
“The 5th prince, you are so polite. These things are my own business. It is desirable for me to share the worries and solve the problems of the emperor.” Liu Muwei said scrupulously, expressing his respect for the emperor of the Nanyue Dynasty in his words.
His words were so meticulous that no flaw could be found inside by others.
Of course, people familiar with Liu Muwei, such as Qi Liange, would definitely disdain what he said just now.
“It’s a great blessing to possess such a talent as Prime Minister Liu in the Nanyue Dynasty indeed.” Jun Yeyan gently opened his thin lips and said lightly. But his providential calmness was mixed with some contempt which was hard to notice.
Liu Muwei naturally took these words as the praise given by Jun Yeyan and accepted it proudly.
“I still need to go to the Imperial Palace and inform the emperor of something. After a while, I will come to meet and invite you as well as the 5th Princess to the Imperial Palace and attend the banquet of the palace.” Liu Muwei said slowly after looking at the time.
Jun Yeyan naturally knew Liu Muwei’s intention in his mind, but he didn’t want to deal with him.
“In this case, Prime Minister Liu, you can do your own business first. I will have a rest with my princess.” Jun Yeyan said indifferently.
“Will Prime Minister Liu go away now? I haven’t greeted you in earnest yet.” A voice with anger which was subdued sounded timely while Liu Muwei just intended to turn around and leave.
On hearing this, Liu Muwei looked at Jun Yeyan with some doubts, then looking towards the source of the voice.
He just saw that a grim-faced man was walking towards him, trying his best to hide his anger.
“Ah… What a bad memory I have! I forgot to introduce him to Prime Minister Liu. This is another envoy following me to come to the Nanyue Dynasty, Duke Du, Du Siyan, the son of Duke Deyuan.” Jun Yeyan said while looking at Liu Muwei as if he had just thought of it now.
On hearing Jun Yeyan’s words, the corners of the mouth of Liu Muwei twitched fiercely. He really seemed to have forgotten it. But how could he forget such a living person? Was he really not punctilious? Or he did it intentionally?
On hearing Jun Yeyan’s unintentional words, Du Siyan, who had come over, simmered with rage in his mind instantly, but he couldn’t vent it at this time.
“Prince is too busy to remember everything. I can still understand it. But in this case, I still hope that Prime Minister Liu can forgive me. Although I am the envoy assigned by the emperor in person, I am accompanied by Prince on the trip this time, after all. So, it is forgivable and understandable that Prime Minister Liu could not remember who I am timely.” Du Siyan said politely while watching Liu Muwei.
But his tone to Jun Yeyan was not so good.
Hearing the words of Du Siyan, Liu Muwei was resentful and indignant in his heart. Qi Liange just told him to welcome the 5th prince and the 5th Princess in the Chengxi Dynasty at that time and did not tell him that there was also a duke!
Now, under such a circumstance, he actually forgot the duke. What a big shame on him!
“Duke Deyuan also came to the Nanyue Dynasty many years ago, and he is a man of great passion, who I have always admired. I believe that his son will not be inferior to him!” Liu Muwei said with an embarrassed smile.
But he felt helpless to the extreme in his mind and wanted to get out of here to get everything ready quickly.
“I naturally dare not to be compared with my father. I always take him as an example and work hard.” Du Siyan said with a light smile, expressing his great respect for his father in his words.
“I’ve got everything ready, and you just need to check in, Duke Du. I will meet all of you personally in the evening.” Liu Muwei said calmly.
“In this case, sorry to trouble you, Prime Minister Liu. Since you have something to deal with, I will not bother you anymore.” Du Siyan said politely.
But until Liu Muwei left, Du Siyan still didn’t move a step. And his look at Jun Yeyan was filled with rage faintly.
