She must be interested in me too!
So when he came to invite the Queen while the Dragon King was having the Duchess dance, his sister-in-law must have been extremely jealous.
At this point, her dissatisfaction had reached its peak, and it was highly likely that she would agree to be his dance partner.
Just as he was filled with anticipation, Shang Hongyu stepped aside and said, "Excuse me, could you move aside?"
Ao Yong: "???"
What kind of answer is this? Does it mean they agreed or not?
However, following the other person's gaze, he saw Zuan and the Duchess swaying together in the dance floor, and he understood what was going on: "Since my brother needs to take care of the Duchess, let me take care of my sister-in-law instead."
Shang Hongyu smiled apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I'm not feeling well today and want to rest. There are many young ladies over there waiting for you to invite them over, Brother Wang."
Upon hearing his refusal, Ao Yong's smile instantly froze.
She recovered after a short while: "In that case, Your Majesty, please rest well. I will not disturb you any longer."
Throughout the entire process, he maintained a high level of composure, which even drew secret praise from many nobles nearby.
Ao Yong quickly found another noble lady to dance with. The girl was clearly flattered, as the other party was the Dragon King's younger brother, handsome and the dream lover of countless girls. She was so excited that she made several mistakes in her dance steps and even stepped on his foot.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," the girl said, somewhat flustered.
"It's alright, just follow my rhythm, I'll teach you." Ao Yong's radiant smile made the girl a little lost in thought, wondering why the Queen had rejected such a perfect man just now.
At this moment, Ao Yong was also pondering this question: Could it be that his sister-in-law still deeply loved the Dragon King?
Hmm, no, my sister-in-law just smiled at me, which clearly shows she's interested in me.
She probably didn't want to be too affectionate with me in public.
Sigh, I was too hasty. I should find a quieter time to visit him secretly next time.
He seemed to be conjuring up some beautiful image, and his smile grew even brighter, captivating the girl in his arms.
Meanwhile, on the other side, as Zuan and the Duchess danced, he was filled with admiration. Was the nutrition of the dolphin clan really that good? Their bodies swayed like waves, making it hard for him to keep his eyes open.
The other person seemed to be pressing their body against his chest, which made him feel the thrill even more clearly.
The Dragon King's daily life is far too extravagant; he really deserves a serious critique.
At this moment, the Duchess suddenly smiled slightly and said, "His Majesty seems different from usual."
Zu An's heart skipped a beat: "How is it different?"
Did she see through some flaw in my plan?
"Before coming to the Dragon Palace, I had heard many rumors about His Majesty, but now that I see him, he is quite different from the rumors. It's as if the person embracing me is not the Dragon King, but a gentleman," the Duchess said with a smile.
Zuan: "..."
"Can I take this as the lady saying I'm lecherous?"
"The word 'lustful' is only used to describe vulgar and ordinary men. How could such a great hero as Your Majesty be described with that word? As the saying goes, both thunder and rain are the Emperor's grace. Countless people in the world are hoping for Your Majesty's pity." The Duchess bit her red lips slightly as she spoke, and her eyes gave a subtle hint.
"Hurry up and do it! I've never seen you hesitate like this when you touch me during training." Shang Hongyu's voice, sounding somewhat exasperated, came again.
Zuan: "..."
How can these be the same?
The Duchess followed his gaze and saw Shang Hongyu in the distance. She couldn't help but smile and say, "I knew it! So the Dragon King was thinking of the Queen. It seems you two are even more loving than the rumors say."
“Of course,” Zuan snorted.
"But now that the Queen has Prince Yong to take care of her, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry. Just focus on dancing with her." The Duchess said coquettishly, a hint of cunning in her eyes.
Zu An was a man of great stature, and he immediately realized that this woman seemed to be trying to sow discord between him and Ao Yong, though he didn't know what her purpose was.
However, he couldn't help but glance over there. Ao Yong, that guy who loves his sister-in-law, was always hovering around Shang Hongyu like a fly, which was really annoying.
Just then, he saw Shang Hongyu reject the other party and then find a seat.
The other person picked up a glass of fruit wine, looked at him with a half-smile, and said in a teasing voice, "Jealous?"
“We’re not really husband and wife, why are you jealous?” Zuan said calmly.
"What a heartbreaking answer," Shang Hongyu snorted, then suddenly added in a low voice, "Don't worry, I'll only hug you and jump like that, I won't let any other man touch me."
Zu An's heart skipped a beat. What did she mean by those words?
At this moment, Shang Hongyu's voice came again, much louder than before: "You are the Dragon King, and countless eyes are secretly watching you. If you reveal any flaws, all our efforts will be in vain..."
Zu An sighed. He wasn't one to be pretentious. If he was going to put on a show, he wanted to do it convincingly. Of course, the main reason was that he couldn't stand Shang Hongyu's constant bombardment of his ears.
Feeling his large, seemingly magical hand, the Duchess suddenly trembled, her breath becoming slightly disordered: "Oh dear, I was just praising His Majesty as a gentleman."
"So, do you want me to be a gentleman, or do you want me to be an ungentleman?" Zuan had to admit that this Duchess was really good, and it wasn't too much of a humiliation for him to reluctantly play the role of the Dragon King this time.
