Wild Princess: Marrying An Ugly Prince Chapter 232 - That's Life, and Bring Me the Wine

Chapter 232 That’s Life, and Bring Me the Wine

Bai Aoxue looked at Liu Zixi who was dancing. There was neither admiration nor worry in her eyes. Her fearless and worriless look made people not see through what she was thinking.

And Jun Yeyan listened to Bai Aoxue’s words and lightly smiled.

That was all right. No matter what, he would let her go to fly and fight. He would always be behind her and protect her. That was enough. In any case, he would not let her get any harm.

Qi Muyuan unknowingly came to the side of Qi Liange and said angrily, “Brother, Liu Zixi and that woman… They really have gone too far.”

All the discerning people could see that two of them were targeting Bai Aoxue.

But no one came out to stop it. She knew that since Bai Aoxue dared to accept the challenge, she couldn’t lose. But Qi Muyuan was still very angry.

Qi Liange listened to the words of Qi Muyuan. He seemed to look at the empress on the high seat unintentionally. The empress also looked at Qi Liange at this time coincidentally.

It was not surprising for the empress on the high seat to receive the warning eyes of Qi Liange.

Her whole person trembled fiercely. Then she clenched her fists tightly and covered up her abnormal behavior without trace.

Her heart was also more determined, not to allow Qi Liange’s affection for Bai Aoxue to grow.

Both of them had their own thoughts, but they didn’t find that they had secretly been observed by Jun Yeyan. When he saw their behaviors, a smile of interest appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Qi Liange looked at Qi Muyuan and soothingly said, “It’s all right. I’ll deal with it. They won’t be complacent for long.”

And Qi Muyuan listened to the words of Qi Liange. Her heart also settled down a lot. She looked at the woman on the high seat with a bit of hatred.

This hatred was hidden so deeply that if people didn’t observe it carefully, they wouldn’t be able to find it.

When the applause began, Liu Zixi’s performance was already over on the stage when looking again at the stage. Although panting a little, she still didn’t lose her elegant and dignified appearance, which made the empress’s smile deepen gradually.

Bai Aoxue looked at Liu Zixi who looked so proud and provocatively looked at her. She blinked gently and scoffed dismissively.

At this moment, you laughed so happily. I would make you cry bitterly in a minute.

“I have finished dancing already. Now let’s take a look at how the 5th Princess of Chengxi Dynasty is going to make poems for everyone on earth.” Liu Zixi said hurriedly and feared that others would forget Bai Aoxue.

There was a smile of victory in her eyes. She seemed to have seen her victory while Bai Aoxue failed.

She looked at Bai Aoxue with some sarcasm in her eyes.

If you didn’t have something to do with Qi Liange, and if you hadn’t seduced Qi Liange, I wouldn’t have targeted you like this, after all. You should blame it only on yourself, Bai Aoxue!

I would see you become as awkward as a stray dog.

Bai Aoxue walked slowly to the center of the stage with the little eunuch who had prepared things for her.

“Ha-ha. Don’t be ashamed if you lose later. After all, you’re very lucky to be able to compete with me in your life, aren’t you?” Liu Zixi said contemptuously at the same time when Liu Zixi pa.s.sed by Bai Aoxue.

Her light tone could only be heard by Bai Aoxue.

Bai Aoxue smiled gently, and her bright teeth were slightly exposed.

“It seems that you’re very happy to be seen as a monkey by others, right?” Bai Aoxue’s eyes were cold. She looked straight ahead. But what she said made Liu Zixi’s face turn red out of anger.

“You!” Liu Zixi just wanted to retort, but Bai Aoxue had already gone far away when she turned around.

She looked at Bai Aoxue with rapid changes in her eyes.

And Bai Aoxue did not care about Liu Zixi’s eyes. She took the little eunuch to the high platform and told the little eunuch the procedure in detail.

And the little eunuch also hung the prepared translucent curtain up from both sides. The whole center of the stage was filled with the translucent curtain of Bai Aoxue.

Jun Yeyan below the stage was not clear about what Bai Aoxue wanted to do. He stared at Bai Aoxue without a trace of omission.

When people saw that Bai Aoxue made poems with such a curtain, they only felt extremely novel. They were a little more interested in this than watching Liu Zixi dance.

Seeing the little eunuch hang the curtain up, Bai Aoxue also prepared everything in front of her. She took out the writing brush and put it into the ink that had been prepared in advance.

And the little eunuch had returned to the side of Bai Aoxue. He waited for Bai Aoxue’s orders.

Bai Aoxue took out the colored writing brush. She went to the curtain and examined it slightly.

When everyone was not ready, Bai Aoxue leaped up lightly, and her whole person fluttered and danced like a b.u.t.terfly in the dark night.

She copiously and fluently painted on the curtain with the writing brush which was stained with pink. There was a bit of incomparable n.o.bility in her handsome movements.

People looked at the red marks on the curtain and did not speak in spite of their doubts in their hearts.

But some people found it ridiculous as a few red marks couldn’t make up anything at all.

A lady from an official family beside Liu Zixi looked at Liu Zixi and flatteringly said, “What is she doing? Is she admitting defeat? She is making a spectacle of herself here.”

And such words were very satisfying to Liu Zixi, but she dared not to easily show it beside Qi Liange.

“I don’t think the 5th Princess is such a person. If she wanted to throw in the towel, she would not have come up to ask for an insult. Anyway, it doesn’t matter if she loses.” Liu Zixi said as if she was very shocked.

Qi Liange listened to Liu Zixi’s words. He looked at Liu Zixi coldly and said, “Shut up.”

Liu Zixi did not expect that Qi Liange would speak to her like this, and his eyes were obviously full of deep dislike for her.

She turned to have a look and found that the lady from an official family who spoke just now looked at her with schadenfreude. Liu Zixi held a deep grudge in her heart. But for Bai Aoxue, she certainly would not have been treated like this.

If Liu Zixi only had a bit of jealousy of Bai Aoxue at first, then Liu Zixi already had a bit of hatred for Bai Aoxue at this moment.

And on this side, Bai Aoxue paid no attention to the following comments and concentrated on completing her own painting.

Bai Aoxue waved the brush until the curtain was stained with a lot of red marks. The little eunuch hurriedly caught the brush.

Bai Aoxue gently shouted, “Bring me the wine.” Her slender hands stretched out.

They were unexpectedly a little crystal clear in the moonlight.

And the little eunuch did not dare to procrastinate. He understandingly put the peach blossom wine which had been prepared for a long time in Bai Aoxue’s hands.

Bai Aoxue took over the peach blossom wine. She chicly opened the wine lid. The strong fragrance of peach blossoms and the elegant aroma of the wine came into everyone’s nose.

Bai Aoxue picked up the wine jar and drank the superior peach blossom wine without hesitation.

She didn’t care about the shock in other people’s eyes.

At this moment, Bai Aoxue did not know how charming she was when she quickly picked up the wine jar and drank the peach blossom wine.

There was not a trace of coyness in her movements. Her wanton and unrestrained appearance without coyness or any artificial feeling was a feast to the eyes of people and made them not feel rude at all.

On the contrary, it had a bit of n.o.bility that ordinary people rarely had.

When everyone was still in the aftertaste, Bai Aoxue unexpectedly spurted the peach blossom wine which she had drunk on the curtain.

Some people didn’t understand why Bai Aoxue did that. She wasted a pot of good wine. They were shocked and exclaimed.

“Ah! Look! It’s beautiful. How amazing it is!”

A woman was so shocked that she no longer cared about the etiquette. She stood up and pointed to the painting of Bai Aoxue, shouting.

And everyone also took back their eyes from Bai Aoxue and looked at the painting of Bai Aoxue together.

On the curtain, there were originally a few red marks. But unexpectedly, they saw at this moment that those red marks quickly shaded.

After the speed of shading slowed down, everyone had been shocked beyond measure.

Cl.u.s.ters of pink peach blossoms were monstrously in full bloom like the sun in March of the spring.

The light fragrance of peach blossoms engulfed the entire banquet hall with the breeze.

But Bai Aoxue’s painting did not come to an end. She took over the brush prepared by the little eunuch and began to slowly paint the branches of peach blossoms, which was the final process.

At this time, no one looked at the painting curtain of Bai Aoxue with satirical or dismissive eyes.

They looked at Bai Aoxue with some admiration in their eyes.

Such a clever mind and such a novel way of painting were something that none of those people present had ever thought of or tried.

After Bai Aoxue finished drawing the branches, she moved down and began to write poems.

There was a peach blossom temple in a peach blossom castle. And there was a peach blossom fairy in the peach blossom temple.

The peach blossom fairy planted peach trees and picked peach blossoms in exchange for money to buy wine.

When he was not drunk, he would sit before the flowers. And he would lie and sleep beneath them to spend his drunken hours.

From day to day, he was half awake and half drunk. The peach flowers blossomed and withered from year to year.

The typeface was lavish and unrestrained with a bit of boldness and generousness.

And Bai Aoxue had put down her brush and turned to look at her painting.

At this moment, the translucent curtain was full of many peach blossoms which were connected in cl.u.s.ters. They were so unsubstantial and ethereal as if they would fall when the breeze blew over.

And everyone looked at Bai Aoxue’s painting and could not come to his or her scenes for a long time. Even the empress and Liu Zixi also looked at her painting, who thought at first that Bai Aoxue would be defeated.

“Oh, my G.o.d! It’s too beautiful!” Finally, someone came to his senses and said in amazement.

“Yes. The painting is beautiful. The poem is more beautiful. It’s really a good poem.”

…

Listening to a stream of praise, Bai Aoxue stood still, crossing her hands behind her back. There was not a trace of pride or complacency in her eyes. Her indifferent eyes still made people sigh with emotion.

She was so calm at such a young age and also so calm in her mind. Such a person should not be a simple character.

At this moment, all the people who attended the banquet today deeply remembered the face of Bai Aoxue at this moment in their hearts.

Her jet-black hair slightly fluttered in the air. The black gilded edge of her skirt had a radian that was a little wanton, which looked so loftily and n.o.ble.

Bai Aoxue coldly looked at Liu Zixi and the empress on the high seat and said indifferently, “I have no intention to compete with the crown princess. Winning or losing is not an important thing. Our respective talents can’t be compared. Art is an elegant thing. Why do we use a compet.i.tion to defile this elegance? It is the end of today’s matter. I am also a little tired after a b.u.mpy journey. Emperor, please excuse me for leaving first.”

The words were as cold as her, and there was a momentum which could frostbite people.

And after listening to the words of Bai Aoxue, all the officials of the Nanyue Dynasty were even more shocked. They heard that the 5th Princess of Chengxi Dynasty acted arrogantly and was indifferent.

But they only heard about it. Today such words and actions were really the same as or even exaggerated than they had heard.

What an obstinate and unruly woman she was!

Before the emperor of the Nanyue Dynasty could come to his senses, Jun Yeyan already got up and walked to the side of Bai Aoxue. He held Bai Aoxue’s hand and looked at the empress on the high seat, saying, “My princess and I represent the Chengxi Dynasty. The empress still needs to think twice before doing things.”

After saying, he directly ignored the eyes of all the people and slowly left the banquet hall with Bai Aoxue.
