Yan Jue's voice caused Liu Tian Xin to come back to her senses, as he did not want to let Yan Jue see the sadness in her eyes. With a calm expression, she said, "Peach Blossom Princess has set his eyes on King Jing, so what about Ruo Qing?
Liu Tian Xin hid his feelings well. Yan Jue really didn't think too much about it, hearing her words, he only glanced at Yan Yuan's ashen face calmly and smiled: "Ol'ninth will not like Peach Blossom Princess."
Liu Tian Xin did not doubt King Jing's words at all. His current face was so dark that it could be seen as if it was on fire.
When Xia Tao Hua said that, the scene became awkward, as a majority of the people were waiting for his reaction. Seeing Yan Yuan's ashen face, they knew that Peach Blossom Princess was going to suffer.
Prince Jing had never been a person who cared for the fairer sex. It was almost impossible to expect him to give the Peach Blossom Princess face at this time.
As expected, Yan Yuan ignored her, and looked towards the stiff Liu Ruo Qing beside his.
Seeing her staring at Xia Tao Hua in a daze, because he was wearing a human skin mask, Yan Yuan could only read her emotions from her eyes.
However, other than being shocked, Liu Ruo Qing did not reveal any other emotions, and only stared at Xia Tao Hua.
She knew that Xia Tao Hua liked Yan Yuan, and even wanted to marry him, but she never expected Xia Tao Hua's answer to be so direct and straightforward.
Liu Ruo Qing couldn't help but admire her.
Seeing her unconcerned look, Yan Yuan's face darkened, he wanted to vent the anger in his heart.
After taking in a deep breath, he looked at Liu Ruo Qing and asked, "What do you think of Xia Tao Hua?"
Yan Yuan's voice caused Liu Ruo Qing to suddenly regain her senses, and she withdrew his gaze from Xia Tao Hua's face. She glanced sideways at Yan Yuan, and a blank look appeared in her eyes, "Wh … "What?"
"This king is asking you, what do you think of Peach Blossom Princess?"
Yan Yuan suppressed the anger in his heart and gritted his teeth as he asked her.
Liu Ruo Qing was startled, but the hand under the table tightened, and looked once again at Xia Tao Hua's exceptional appearance. With such a beauty, in addition to her status as a princess of a Subordinate Country, she was naturally worthy of Yan Yuan.
If Yan Yuan could be happy together with Peach Blossom Princess, wasn't this what she wanted to see?
Thinking like this, she said to Yan Yuan: "The princess has taken a fancy to Your Highness, why is Your Highness asking this little one about me?"
A cold voice came from Yan Yuan's nose. Then, she heard him chuckle. "You are now this king's guard, so you should at least give this king some advice to use as a reference."
Yan Yuan's words sounded light and easy, but only he knew how much he gritted his teeth when he said them.
Liu Ruo Qing didn't show it on the outside, but when she heard that it was very likely that Yan Yuan would marry Xia Tao Hua, she felt both happy and uncomfortable at the same time.
"With such a peerless beauty like the Peach Blossom Princess, it's only natural that she's a perfect match for you, your highness."
Her answer made Yan Yuan's expression darken even more, and the ice-cold aura that lingered around him, instantly cooled down the originally fiery atmosphere of the palace banquet.
Just then, Yan Shuo's voice sounded out, "Royal Uncle, Peach Blossom Princess is so fond of you, I wonder how Royal Uncle would like it?"
Yan Yuan's cold eyes swept across Liu Ruo Qing's face, which had nothing to do with him, turned even more dark.
Looking up at Xia Tao Hua's gaze that was filled with anticipation and brightness, he suddenly curled his lips and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Peach Blossom Princess is as beautiful as a flower, this subject is naturally happy, but, it's our first time meeting and we don't know each other, why not let this subject and the Peach Blossom Princess get to know each other for a while first?"
Although he knew that very few men would be able to resist Xia Tao Hua's beautiful appearance, his straightforward promise of coming here actually caused Yan Shuo to be unable to hide the shock in his heart.
Other than Yan Shuo, the other people present were also shocked, but soon after, they understood.
No matter how deep the Prince Jing was in love with the Crown Princess Jing, as a man, he would never be able to escape the temptation of beauty.
"Then according to what Imperial Uncle means?"
"How about you let the Peach Blossom Princess stay in my King Jing Palace so I can show you my hospitality as a host?"
Yan Yuan raised his eyebrows and proposed.
Everyone was shocked once again. It seemed like the Prince Jing was really different to the Peach Blossom Princess.
Hearing that, Liu Ruo Qing also froze for a moment. Then, she smiled with gratitude, wasn't that what she hoped for?
She didn't understand Peach Blossom Princess, but the feeling she gave her wasn't repulsive. If she could open Yan Yuan's heart to her, she would naturally be happy.
As for Heng Er …
He was the eldest son of King Jing, so the Peach Blossom Princess wouldn't treat him lightly. Moreover, eighth brother and the others were there as well.
Liu Ruo Qing thought about everything else carefully and didn't notice the smile on her face at all. This caused the expression of someone beside him to turn even colder.
Looking at the similarly startled Xia Tao Hua, he asked: "What do you think, Peach Blossom Princess?"
Xia Tao Hua regained her senses, and looked at Yan Yuan's smiling eyes. She nodded blankly, "Naturally … We will listen to you, your highness. "
After the palace banquet, the various envoys all went back to the Guest House to stay there. As for the matter of Long Island Country being able to easily hook up with the King Jing, the other subordinate states all had their own thoughts. Some were envious, some were jealous, and some were not concerned with it.
When Xia Tao Hua and the envoy got off the carriage, he coincidentally met the envoy from Fenglan. The last person who wanted to come to Easternum for a marriage alliance was Princess Feng Yi from Fenglan.
This was because Princess Feng Yi had stirred up quite a big joke in Easternum, and because she had been disrespectful to Crown Princess Jing, she had angered King Jing, causing a huge commotion.
Last time, when Feng Yi was slapped in the face by the King Jing, this time, she easily fell into the eyes of the King Jing.
Especially since the Fenglan boasted herself to be rich, and had a superior attitude compared to the other countries in the vicinity. Naturally, when Xia Tao Hua successfully attracted the attention of the King Jing, he was jealous, but at the same time, he had undisguised disdain on his face.
"I truly congratulate Peach Blossom Princess. With such a beautiful face, you are truly stronger than anything else. Look at me, no matter how proficient I am in the art of zither, chess and painting, I can't even compare to the face of Peach Blossom Princess. "
These words were clearly said that Xia Tao Hua had nothing good about him other than his appearance that could seduce people, how could the Prime Minister of the Long Island, who was standing at the side, not hear it?
Long Island and the Fenglan had always been at odds with each other, so how could he allow the people of the Fenglan to humiliate their first princess? He wanted to speak out, but was stopped by Xia Tao Hua.
Princess Qingyi is right, with this face, there's no need for me to work so hard to learn some useless things. For example, your little sister, Gan Dazhi, has recommended himself as a pillow, and she still can't enter the Prince Jing's eyes, so, looks are still the most important. If you're not convinced, then you might as well go back and reincarnate.
"Xia Tao Hua, you …"
Qing Yi originally wanted to take this opportunity to humiliate Xia Tao Hua, but she didn't expect to be mocked by her instead.
At that time, when she heard that Feng Yi was actually shameless enough to recommend herself as a pillow, she couldn't wait to tear off her shameless face. This time, she didn't want Feng Yi to lose face again, so she begged royal father to allow her to come with an envoy.
When she saw the cold and heartless King Jing with her own eyes, she had also been attracted by him.
