Chapter 329: Love Who You Want
.“I heard that the Crown Prince of Chi Yan Kingdom is extremely handsome. If he takes a liking to Xiao Yuge, for the sake of peace between the two countries, the Emperor will definitely arrange a marr...And as if the Moonless Young Master understood something, he leaned closer to her even more, with a look of happiness and sweetness on his face: “To be able to be with Miss Xiao is the blessing of this moon.” One had to say, he was quite skilled at being in those kinds of places. His voice, his eyes, his movements – they were simply captivating.
"You, you all... are shameless! I'm going back to tell Brother Sichun!" Xiao Yufu saw their intimate actions and was immediately so embarrassed her face turned crimson. She clutched her skirt and ran towards the city gate.
Watching her leave, Xiao Yu Ge's eyes gradually turned cold. He elbowed Wu Yue Gongzi, who was leaning against him: "Get out of the way!"
"Miss Xiao is truly heartless, using someone up and then discarding them like Wu Yue!" Master Wu Yue politely kept a step away from her, fearing that her collarbone blade might suddenly appear again.
Xiao Yu Ge ignored him and walked towards the city gate. She knew Xiao Yu Fu would go to tell Qian Si Chen, but that would only make Qian Si Chen dislike Xiao Yu Fu even more, thinking she was stirring up trouble. Once the seeds of doubt are sown, they will take root and grow in his heart, impossible to pull out.
"Miss Xiao!" Wuyue Gongzi hurried after her.
Before, Xiao Yuge's song suddenly stopped. He was lucky to react quickly, otherwise he would have almost bumped into it.
"Young Master Wuyue, I know you are not a frivolous person, so don't try to fool me! This is for your own good. Every man who associates with me seems to end up badly." Even someone as petty as Qian Tingxuan was enough trouble for them, let alone the unpredictable Qian Sichin.
“Is that so You seem to enjoy a challenge.” WuYue Gongzi was slightly surprised. Though he knew little about her, this beautiful and spirited young lady was unlike anyone he’d met before. She piqued his interest. Perhaps after seeing so many heartless and unfeeling performances at places like QingFeng Guan, he had grown indifferent to women. But Xiao YuGe's arrival was truly captivating.
"I advise you not to provoke me, or else, you'll be inviting trouble upon yourself. Don't blame me for not warning you! Young Master Wuyue, farewell!" Xiao Yuge was too lazy to waste any more words with him. Although she didn't know why he pretended to be this way to approach her, she had seen his true colors at Hongxiu Mountain Villa. It wasn't like this frivolous.
"She's quite a captivating beauty, no wonder she attracts so many admirers. She truly lives up to the title of 'beauty that brings disaster'!" Gazing at Xiao Yuge's graceful departing figure, Wuyue Gongzi didn't pursue her any further.
In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year. Lan Zhao Country was filled with festive cheer, everything was grand and celebratory. Even the emperor paid special attention. On the day of family reunion, he specially hosted a banquet. All concubines, princes, and princesses attended, including Qian Tingxuan who invited Xiao Yuge. However, she refused, claiming that she needed to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion to be with her parents.
"Miss, you went to the Xiangfu this morning. Why didn't you agree to attend the palace banquet with the Prince" Qing Luo couldn't understand. The Prince treated the Miss so well, but why did she always keep him at arm's length
“He’s attending a family dinner, what business would I have going with him” Xiao Yuge knew what kind of family dinner it was today, Qian Si Chen would definitely be there. Lately, he’d been pestering her relentlessly, like a madman. If he saw her with Qian Ting Xuan, he wouldn’t hesitate to get drunk and make a scene. So, she decided not to go.
"Miss, actually you and the prince have already paid respects at the altar. You are considered a princess in name, and the prince has always been very good to you. Why don't you accept him" Qingluo finally couldn't help but ask.
"That marriage wasn't real. As you said, it was just a formality, nothing to count." Xiao Yuge let out a soft sigh. Next year everything would be over, she didn't want to think about it anymore.
"Miss, even a slave like me can see that the Prince is very good to you. Are you really not moved at all If you miss out on the Prince, perhaps you'll never meet someone better than him again." After all, outsiders are often clearer-headed. Qing Luo genuinely cared for Xiao Yu Ge and naturally hoped she would be happy.
Qing Luo's words plunged Xiao Yu Ge into deep thought. Her mind flashed with every moment she had shared with Qian Ting Xuan, and she questioned herself, could it be that she harbored no feelings for him at all Was it hatred that blinded her eyes, or was it hatred that clouded her heart
"Look who's here, master!" Feng Yannie ran over with a smile.
Xiao Yu Ge followed her gaze and immediately broke into a smile, standing up: “Night Big Brother! You’re back!”
"Well, it was a rush to get here for the reunion dinner. I don't have any other family, just you as my sister, so I came here to keep you company and eat together. How does that sound" It seemed like after this trip back, Ye Wuhuan was a little more cheerful than before, not quite as cold and aloof as she used to be.
"It's such a relief to see you! I went to look for you the other day, but they said you hadn't returned yet. I thought you wouldn't be back until next spring, but I didn't expect you to come back today. It's wonderful!" Seeing Ye Wuhuan, Xiao Yuge swept away the gloom she had felt just moments before, and a smile broke out on her face like that of a child.
“Host, the meal is ready. Just waiting for you and Lord Ye to join us!” Feng Yan’s voice seemed especially enthusiastic. Perhaps with Xiao Yuge leading Frost Snow Tower, it had gained a touch more humanity compared to before. This year felt even more festive than usual, and she was naturally delighted.
"Night Bro, let's go! Tonight, we must drink our fill and have a good time! We won't return until we're drunk!" Xiao Yuge openly grabbed Night Wuhuan's arm, her happiness clearly written on her face.
"Good! Let's get drunk!" Ye Wuhuan rarely let himself have fun, perhaps this year the most correct thing he did was to acknowledge Xiao Yuge as his younger sister.
Today, Ruyifang is bustling with activity. Feng Yianniang has gathered everyone in the courtyard and set up a lavish feast. She tells them that they needn't be restrained tonight and should all drink freely.
The girls in Ruyifang were mostly destitute and homeless, so they considered this place their home and Feng Yanniang their relative. They originally thought they had fallen into hell for the rest of their lives, but Feng Yanniang became the only redemption in their lives, pulling them out of the sea of suffering. Therefore, they loved her, respected her, and were grateful to her!
Similarly, when Ruyifang was on the verge of collapse, it was Xiao Yuge's appearance that saved Ruyifang, sparing them from hardship and essentially saving them. Therefore, they also held her in high regard, loved her, and were grateful to her!
"Toast to the Master! Toast to Miss Xiao!"
"Toast to the master! Toast to Miss Xiao!"
All raise their glasses, toasting Feng Yanniang and Xiao Yuge!
While Feng Yanniang spoke in a low voice, "Greetings to the host!" Only a small number of members from Shuoxue Lou knew that Xiao Yuge was the young master besides others.
Xiao Yuge's words resonated with everyone, she replied with a toast, raising her cup to the crowd: "This year, regardless of joys and sorrows, partings and reunions, will all become the past. A new year, a fresh start, new hopes, let us set sail together with our dreams! Do what we want to do, love who we want to love!" The last sentence was directed at Feng Yanniang and Huo Yan and the others.hy he chose her at the market that day." 。"The world is so vast, there are many similar people." 。Xiao Yu sang subconsciously touched the jade pendant on her body, wasn't the one worn by the woman in...
