Separated by the veil, Chen Chao was very silent. He had not expected this scene after he entered the carriage.
However, one thing puzzled him. Even at this point, the woman in front of him, despite her pose, Chen Chao did not feel an unpleasant atmosphere in the slightest. In other words, this woman did not exude a trade of amorous aura. She had a fundamental difference from the women in brothels.
Nevertheless, Chen Chao was still full of doubts. What was the identity of this woman?
"You're Chen Chao?"
The woman's voice slowly sounded out, lacking any overbearing feeling. Except, it was definitely far from gentle too, it had the exclusive air befitting those from influential families.
Chen Chao did not speak. He was still pondering the woman's identity - which official's wife was she? Or perhaps one of the consorts of the two princes?
Seeing that Chen Chao did not answer her, the woman did not get angry. She simply sat up from the bed, and reached out to lift the veil, hanging it up on both sides. With this, there was no longer any obstruction between Chen Chao and her. As he looked at the woman, he noticed her extraordinary beauty. She had a beauty mark on her forehead, giving her a naturally charming demeanor. For a moment, Chen Chao found himself somewhat in a trance. for new novels
As she straightened her body, the scene in front of her chest became even more spectacular. She paid it no mind, just supporting her cheek, adding a touch of innocence to her charming posture. It was as if she were an inexperienced young girl, making it difficult to imagine how such contrasting poses could exist in the same woman.
"Is this imperial highness beautiful?"[1]
The woman spoke lightly, her vermilion lips moving gently.
Chen Chao who was somewhat lost in thought, returned to his senses in an instant. At the mention of "this imperial highness." These words were not something an ordinary person could casually refer to themselves as.
Could the woman in front of him really be the consort of a certain prince?
If not for the fact that the entire Great Liang Dynasty knew that the Great Liang Emperor never appointed any consorts other than the Empress, Chen Chao would even be speculating in that direction.
But after thinking about it carefully, Chen Chao suddenly returned to his senses and felt that it was impossible. If this was a prince's consort, how could she possibly show up here?
If it was not like this, then it could only be...
The Great Liang Emperor and Empress treated each other with great respect. They had a total of two princesses and three princes. Among the five imperial bloodlines, the first to be born was not the First Prince but a princess. This princess was deeply beloved by the Great Liang Emperor and Empress. After reaching adulthood, she was officially conferred the title of Princess Anping and resided in the Prosperous Harmony Palace.
Now, the woman before him appeared to be of a similar age to Princess Anping.
Hence, Chen Chao remained silent.
Even now, he did not understand what this princess of Great Liang wanted to say or do.
It was as if she just came for small talk?
But in tonight's Divine Capital, this Divine Capital where countless forces wanted to meet Chen Chao, she seemed very strange.
She was clearly the first to meet Chen Chao, yet she did not go straight into topic for a long time.
After a long silence, Chen Chao opened his mouth, "If there's nothing else, Princess, this subject will take my leave."
Since things were unclear at the moment, Chen Chao felt that leaving here might not be a bad choice.
Princess Anping said, "Could it be that this imperial highness has already grown old and hagged? Do I look so unsightly?" "Well, that Xie Family's girl is currently in the prime of her youth. I heard she's also a little beauty. The Imperial Mother met her before. Tell me, compared to me, who is more attractive?"
In the world, there were many questions. But in reality, when it came to women, this question was truly too difficult to answer. It was also a question that could not be answered.
Chen Chao kept silent.
Princess Anping's voice suddenly became somewhat cold, "This imperial highness is asking you a question!"
Chen Chao started cursing in his heart.
What kind of crazy woman was this?
If it were an ordinary woman, Chen Chao would not need to be too bothered and could even let loose a torrent of abuse. However, given the identity of the woman before him, Chen Chao could not cuss her out.
However, just as Chen Chao was silent, Princess Anping suddenly burst into laughter, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly changed again.
Chen Chao felt even more baffled.
Princess Anping said softly, "It turns out that when you like someone, even if you have to say one bad thing about her, you're unwilling to do so."
