Chapter 492: The Regent King Wants a Kiss 23
Of course, his actions were well-intended.
It’s just that they were a little, out of place.
After quite a while, the little eunuch slapped his forehead
"Oh no, the Princess is still inside."
Two incense sticks ago, the Princess, with the Emperor’s decree, came here to meet with the Prince alone.
Thus, there was the scene of first-rank ministers and high-ranking generals sitting in the Prince’s courtyard having lunch.
And at this moment... perhaps the Princess is having lunch with the Prince, just the two of them?
If Miss Su Yan were to barge in...
The little eunuch was somewhat afraid to imagine the scene that would follow.
But upon closer thought, she could either be punished by the Princess for rashly entering the study, which would mean getting a beating.
Or, she could be chastised by the Prince, calling her unruly, right?
After all, the Emperor’s decree was in place, and to barge in now was to disgrace the royal family’s honor.
Getting beaten would be getting off lightly.
If the Princess had a mind to torment her, it could be even worse.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
Su Yan took steps and entered the study.
Then, she heard a familiar tender female voice speaking,
"Prince, please try this dish. I had the chefs from the Imperial Kitchen make it especially for you, as I heard that you’ve taken a liking to meat dishes recently."
A scene came into view.
There stood Princess Liang Yue, dressed in a pink gown embroidered with butterflies and peonies, her head adorned with swinging ornaments, her face carried a beautiful smile, and her fingernails painted with impatiens juice were particularly eye-catching.
She was standing by Yu Wenxu’s side, pretending to be intimate, as she lifted the lid off a dish.
Su Yan’s lips were pressed even tighter together.
Yu Wenxu originally had his brows lowered, but sensing someone coming in, he looked up.
His gaze met Su Yan’s squarely.
A bright light flashed quickly across his eyes.
It had been five days since they last met; he thought that they would gradually forget each other since there was no more interaction.
Yet he found that there was an uncontrollable joy in his heart.
Very soon, the calm look in his eyes became complicated.
Su Yan spoke with a suppressed voice,
"You don’t want to eat with me, but with someone else."
Weren’t you said to be very busy?
Making me wait day after day, obviously, you just don’t want to have a meal with me.
Humph, bad person.
Her sudden vocalization also caused Liang Yue to look up.
Seeing a delicate-looking woman appearing in light white clothes, she paused.
Of course, comparison and judgement also rose in her heart.
Then, Liang Yue covered her mouth and let out a shallow smile, but her eyes were devoid of any humor,
"Where did this young lady come from? Do you know that barging into this study is a crime?"
Su Yan glanced at her.
Then she turned to look at Yu Wenxu again,
"If you don’t want to have a meal with me, then don’t. I’ll find someone else to eat with me."
When Su Yan said this, she was filled with grievance.
Grievance filled her eyes with tears.
Making her wait day after day, and at night, letting her sleep alone.
Obviously, you have someone else now.
Why don’t you tell me?
I won’t eat you.
Struggling to hold back her tears, she turned and walked away.
Since you have someone else, then I will also find someone else.
Yu Wenxu furrowed his brows,
"Stop there"
Su Yan didn’t want to deal with him at all at that moment.
She was pondering on who else she could eat with.
Seeing her really walking away without looking back, Yu Wenxu felt a sudden panic.
"Guards!"
His voice grew heavier.
Almost instantly, six black-clad Shadow Guards appeared at the doorway.
They held slender Soft Swords in their hands, blocking Su Yan’s way.
Su Yan saw their stance as if ready to fight her.
Blinking back tears, they were on the verge of spilling out.
She turned her head to look at Yu Wenxu, her voice even more aggrieved,
"You still want to have someone hit me? You’re the one in the wrong; it’s your fault. Why are you bullying me like this?"
