Chongxi's idiotic prince is married on behalf of his concubine

Chapter 110 Rejection (2)
The mighty team walked slowly through the noisy street, and finally stopped in front of the post house.Dongfang Ye greeted him outside the post house with some servants.

The leader, Prince Rong, dismounted first. Perhaps he had been affected by rumors in the past. Now when he saw Dongfang Ye's appearance, he was somewhat surprised, but he didn't show it in person.

After the two parties greeted each other, a burst of pleasantries was inevitable.

Lord Rong bowed slightly to Dongfang Ye, lowered his eyebrows with a smile on his face and said, "I will trouble Lord Ninth in the days to come."

"Prince Rong is too polite, this is the duty of this king." Dongfang Ye smiled lightly, returned the gift gracefully, and responded: "Prince Rong has been exhausted all the way, so I think he is tired, why don't you rest in the hall first. At that time, I will enter the palace to meet my father."

"Alright." Lord Rong nodded with a smile, noncommittal.

Then the two began to talk politely again.

At this time, in a luxurious carriage in the procession, a pretty and sweet face of a young girl protruded from the opened curtain, dressed in luxurious brocade, and the precious gold hairpin on her head swayed slightly following her movements.The girl opened her eyes wide and looked around curiously. When her eyes fell on Dongfang Ye, there was a clear light and amazement in her eyes.

She stared at it for a long time before she recovered her senses, and then asked the guard beside the carriage, "Who is that man who is talking to Brother Huang?"

"Princess, you are the Ninth Prince of Dongqi Kingdom." The guard replied respectfully.

And the princess he was talking about was none other than Princess Lingxuan, the younger sister of the current Holy Majesty and Prince Rong of the Northern Ji Kingdom.

"Isn't he a fool..." Princess Lingxuan forgot the etiquette in surprise, and when she looked up, her cheeks were already flushed and her face was shy. It's so pretty."

In order to welcome the envoys, the court should hold a banquet in hospitality, and Dongfang Ye, as the host, must not be absent.

The banquet was held directly at the post house. After the banquet, Dongfang Ye originally planned to return to the Nine Princes' Mansion first.However, he just stepped out of the hall and was about to leave, but a clear and pleasant voice faintly came from behind him.

"Ninth Prince, Ninth Prince wait a moment."

Dongfang Ye stopped in surprise, looked back, and saw the luxuriously dressed girl picking up her skirt and running to catch up.

"I don't know why Princess Lingxuan is looking for this king?" Dongfang Ye asked politely, looking at her with a pair of sharp eyes with no ups and downs.

"I..." Princess Lingxuan stared at him blankly, with a trace of embarrassment on her face.

"Princess Lingxuan." Dongfang Ye noticed her strangeness and frowned obviously.

Princess Lingxuan suddenly came back to her senses, her cheeks couldn't help getting hot, and she turned to say: "My princess has always been very curious about Dongqi's customs and customs, but I just came to the capital for the first time and am not familiar with this place, can I ask the prince to accompany me? Princess, take a tour of the bustling capital?"

Dongfang Ye frowned even more when he heard this. It was unreasonable for Princess Lingxuan to seek him out in private, but it was always because of the woman's face, so she replied calmly: "Since Princess Lingxuan wants to play in the capital, my lord I will send post house envoys to accompany me. It’s just that this king is busy, so I can’t accompany you.”

Princess Lingxuan probably didn't expect that she would be directly rejected by Dongfang Ye, with gloomy eyes and lost expression, she replied in a low voice: "If the prince is not free, then forget it. The princess happens to be a little tired today, so I'll wait until next time." Bar."

Dongfang Ye acted as if he hadn't seen her, but said indifferently: "In the future, if Princess Lingxuan has anything to do, just ask the envoy directly. This king will leave first."

Then, without looking at Princess Lingxuan again, she turned and left expressionlessly.

Back at the Nine Princes' Mansion, Dongfang Ye first asked Yunyang about Hua Chao's situation in the mansion, and then went directly to the destination to find someone.

The weather has been fine these days, and Hua Chao's complexion has also improved. After staying indoors for a long time, she was always bored, so she got out of bed and sat in the gazebo in the courtyard.

Dongfang Ye was afraid that Hua Chao would feel bored if he stayed alone in the mansion, so he asked the servants in the mansion to collect a lot of chatterbooks, which mostly described ghosts and ghosts.Hua Chao flipped through a few books at random, and found them to be quite interesting, and they were just good for passing the time.

At this moment, Hua Chao was sitting on the swing under the big tree in the courtyard, and this swing was also made by Dongfang Ye a few days ago.

She was holding a book of unfinished stories in her hand, and the afternoon sun cast lazily towards the earth, shining straight on her little face, making her originally pale complexion finally turn slightly pink.

Light footsteps suddenly sounded outside the courtyard, and Hua Chao didn't even need to look up to guess who was coming.So, he gently turned over from the swing and turned his back to the door, quietly ignoring it.

After a while, a strong breath slowly stopped behind her.

However, Hua Chao was still sitting motionless with his back facing him, but there was a man's voice lingering faintly in the warm air.

"The sun is so hot right now, why is the lady sitting outside?" Dongfang Ye sighed very slightly.

As if waiting for Hua Chao to reply, he didn't speak again for a while.Seeing that she was still silent, he took a long breath and walked up to her.

Hua Chao neither spoke nor looked at him, just kept his gaze glued to the script, as if he was nothing but air.

Dongfang Ye said helplessly in a low voice: "Is the storybook really that good-looking?" At the end, he added bitterly, "Is it even better-looking than me? Why does the lady only read it and not me?"

He regretted it now, he shouldn't have asked people to find some scripts at the beginning, he was really shooting himself in the foot, and made himself fall into the situation of competing for favor with such a poor script.

Moreover, the key point is that even a living person can't compete with a dead thing.

How wronged he must be in his heart now, how wronged!
He slightly approached Hua Chao's body, grabbed her hand that was about to read, and coaxed pitifully, "Lady, I've been tired all morning, so please give me a good look."

He was satisfied with just one look.

As soon as these words came out, Hua Chao seriously put down the notebook in his hand.

However, the closer the two got, the more clearly Hua Chao could smell Dongfang Ye's aura.

She frowned extremely slightly, cast a cold glance at Dongfang Ye, and shouted dryly, "Go away, it stinks to death!"

Dongfang Ye didn't expect her to say such a sentence suddenly, he seemed to be taken aback for a moment, lowered his head to smell it, and then came to his senses.

He has always been restrained and rarely drinks alcohol on weekdays, except today he only drank a few more glasses with Lord Rong, and because of this the pungent smell of alcohol lingered on his body.He had just returned home, thinking of seeing her first, but forgot to wash and change.

And Hua Chao's senses are more sensitive than ordinary people's, plus she has some slight cleanliness, so it's natural for her to dislike it.
