C908 I like him

Even though she was also wearing a peerless beauty, she was, after all, fake. Even though she had a pretty good face, she still felt a bit inferior in front of that girl.

After thinking about it, Liu Ruo Qing feigned a relaxed manner and said: "My prince, I'm guessing that the Long Island Nation most likely wants to marry you."

Yan Yuan didn't think that she would say this, and was startled. Seeing the smile in her eyes, a displeased feeling rose in his heart.

"You know it well!"

His voice sank as his gaze swept across the prime minister of Lantau City. He happened to catch a glimpse of the woman staring at him, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

He had never seen such a brazen woman who did not even try to conceal her gaze.

When he thought about what Liu Ruo Qing had said just now, he knitted his eyebrows and shifted his anger onto the woman opposite of him.

The woman in front of him was stunned for a moment. She could clearly feel that Yan Yuan's anger was directed at her, and a bit of innocence was in her eyes. She had not offended him, so why would he glare at her?

The woman pursed her lips and felt a bit wronged. She widened her eyes and stared back. Her originally bright eyes now looked even better.

The Kaiser at the head of the table, when the Prime Minister of the Long Island had proposed the marriage, he usually wouldn't think of Yan Yuan, but since the death of the Ninth Aunt, his royal uncle's personality had become even more gloomy.

If there was a woman that could change his mind, then that would be good.

He had seen the woman beside Prime Minister Longyu, her beauty was astonishing, if she was married to the Ninth Imperial Uncle, over time, his royal uncle might be able to forget about the Ninth Aunt.

Presumably, when the Ninth Aunt saw that his royal uncle was doing well in the sky, he would be comforted in his heart.

As he thought about this, he put down his wine cup and looked at the Prime Minister of the Long Island. His gaze then landed on the woman beside the Prime Minister as he asked, "The person beside the Prime Minister is the Peach Blossom Princess?"

The Prime Minister did not expect Yan Shuo to give him that much face. In the past, even if an envoy asked for marriage at the national banquet, Kaiser would just casually agree to it. At that time, he would just arrange for the marriage of the son of a minister.

The Prime Minister looked at the beautiful woman and sighed in his heart, Peach Blossom Princess is beautiful and has good looks. If she could attract the attention of the Emperor, it would be her fortune.

Thinking this way, he hurriedly bowed and replied, "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is my Peach Blossom Princess."

Peach Blossom Princess...

Liu Ruo Qing cast her gaze at the lady once again, and she indeed lived up to her name, Peach Blossom Princess with a face like a peach flower.

Although the name was a bit rustic, when matched up with a woman like her, it made her look even more extraordinary.

Hearing Yan Shuo's question, the Peach Blossom Princess stopped staring at Yan Yuan and bowed. "Xia Tao Hua greets His Majesty."

His actions were quick and accurate, and was completely different from his infatuated look when his eyes landed on Yan Yuan.

The Peach Blossom Princess was famous in the Lantau Kingdom. Because she was the direct descendant of the Lantau Kingdom, coupled with her peerless beauty, there were many princes and descendants who wanted to marry her.

As long as Peach Blossom Princess reaches the age of marriage, I will ask the king to grant me marriage.

However, the Lord of the Long Island had his own plans. How could such a beautiful daughter let off the hands of those men who did not have any ability? That was why he had let her follow the Prime Minister to the Easternum during this Grand Examination and voluntarily proposed a marriage.

The beauty of the Peach Blossom Princess was not a secret in Lantau City, nor was it a secret in the surrounding countries. There were also many who had heard of the beauty of the Peach Blossom Princess in the Easternum.

Many officials and women had noticed her at the beginning of the banquet, but no one dared to stare at her openly because of her status.

Right now, when Peach Blossom Princess was bowing to Yan Shuo, he took the chance and looked at her face. He could not help but take a deep breath when he saw her beautiful face.

In this world, there really was such a stunning woman.

Yan Shuo looked at Xia Tao Hua's face, with admiration in his eyes, but he lacked the desire of the man towards the woman. He thought that if this woman stayed by his side for too long, perhaps he might be able to move his uncle's heart.

As he thought this in his heart, a smile appeared on his face, "The princess is indeed beautiful beyond compare."

Liu Ruo Qing was also staring at her, her face was truly so beautiful that it would move one's heart and make others jealous.

Just as she was thinking, she saw Xia Tao Hua calmly knitted her brows, as if he did not like Yan Shuo's praise towards her. Liu Ruo Qing was slightly surprised, as she did not understand why Xia Tao Hua was unhappy.

Just as he was pondering, Yan Shuo's voice sounded out once again, "With the princess' beauty, there should be very few people who could match up to her. I wonder, among the people present, who does the princess like?"

Yan Shuo asked straightforwardly. No one expected him to ask such a question.

In this kind of situation, even if Peach Blossom Princess had her eyes on someone, she wouldn't have the face to say it out in front of everyone.

When Xia Tao Hua heard Yan Shuo's question, his beautiful eyes suddenly lit up. He did not conceal the joy in his eyes as he asked, "Your Majesty, can I choose anyone?"

Yan Shuo thought about it, and did not immediately nod his head. If Ninth Imperial Uncle was not willing, how could he force it?

He then laughed, "Princess, please tell me first."

Seeing Xia Tao Hua extend his hand, he pointed in Yan Yuan's direction, "Your majesty, I like him."

When she finished speaking, the entire audience was in an uproar, especially the person she was pointing at, who instantly broke out in a cold sweat because of Xia Tao Hua.

Some female members even scoffed at her shameless behavior. Such a good-looking woman was truly shameless. She was actually so shameless in front of so many people and pointed out that she wanted a man.

On the other hand, when the Yan Clan Elders saw Xia Tao Hua's bold actions, they all raised their eyebrows. Even the solemn Empress Dowager couldn't help but curl her lips.

This girl's personality was quite direct, but …

The empress dowager looked at Xia Tao Hua worriedly. She had set her eyes on Ol 'Nine and was afraid that he was about to crash into a wall.

Yan Jue raised his wine cup and took a sip. He looked at Xia Tao Hua with some sympathy and said softly, "Even a man has to be so righteous towards this beautiful woman."

Yan Jue's words were originally unintentional, but, who was beside him, suddenly tensed up.

Her gaze turned towards Xia Tao Hua who was smiling, and looked straight at his face, which was extremely beautiful, to the point that even women would be moved by it.

Isn't being good-looking a righteous asset?

For someone like her, with such an ugly face, even if this man was so close to her, she would still be worried about the outcome and wouldn't dare to pinch him too tightly.

Yan Jue saw that she was startled, and his expression became ugly. He frowned slightly, and asked worriedly: What's wrong, my wife?
