Chapter 30
"Hurry and grab it, Miss White Frost... this way... this way."
"Ah!!! Sorry! Young Master, are you okay?" Xiao Yue'er ran in briskly from outside, and "accidentally" bumped into Gong Yuxian when passing by him, and put her hands on him.
Gong Yuxian looked at the two black handprints on the snow-white clothes and was suddenly furious, but after looking at the people present, he suppressed his anger.
"It's alright. May I ask, Your Highness, who is this?"
"Why are you here again?" Yi Luoyao looked at the little girl who had made a mess of the room.
"Where's Gong Yuchen? Is he here too?"
Gong Yuchen? Could she be the little bastard Gong Yuchen adopted? Gong Yuxian narrowed his eyes, his expression filled with disdain.
"My dad? Do you have something to do with him? I stayed here yesterday and haven't seen him yet. If you want to find my dad, go to the side."
"Ah! It ran onto the cabinet!" Bai Shuang "accidentally" bumped into Xiao Yue'er again, and then she "accidentally" bumped into Yi Luoyao again, and then "accidentally" pulled his clothes again, which meant that there were two more handprints on the hem of Yi Luoyao's clothes.
"How could the Prince of Xiyi raise such a rude girl like you!" She was indeed a lowly creature, as lowly as Gong Yuchen. She shook her sleeves in anger.
"Brother, why bother getting angry with a child?" Yi Luoyue looked at everyone calmly.
"Royal sister, you are a princess of the royal family after all. It is unbecoming to make friends with just anyone."
Did he really think she was a fool, with jewels on her head and straw in her head?
"I'm sorry, but it's better for my royal brother not to interfere with who this princess makes friends with."
"I am your royal brother after all, how can I harm you?"
For her own good? That wasn't necessarily the case; it was just his ridiculous pride at work. If someone took a step forward, she would take a step back, and she wouldn't take any more steps back. But she wasn't that kind of person.
"You two, slow down. Someone come and help Miss Yue'er. Don't hurt the cat." Yi Luoyue smiled silently, watching them catching cats all over the room.
Standing on the territory of the princess's mansion, even though they were very angry, Yi Luoyue did not say anything, and Yi Luoyao and Gong Yuxian could do nothing but watch the house become a mess.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what's going on?" Li Fei, in a good mood and with a smile on her face, walked in. Inside, there was a commotion going on. No, let me correct it, it was a commotion going on! The two little girls were busy catching cats, and several maids were busy cleaning up the mess made by the little tiger, but the results were minimal.
After receiving Bai Die's message, he sent Gong Mingxue back home first, and then rushed over. After all, as a veteran suitor of the princess, how could he be absent from such an occasion?
When Xiaoyueer saw Li Fei, he thought, "Haha, I have one more amulet." He stopped chasing the cat and let it stay on the cabinet and move directly to his side.
"Stop! Little guy, stay away from me!" Looking at Xiaoyue'er who was covered in dirt, Li Fei looked disgusted.
"Hmph! Auntie! He dislikes me." Xiaoyue pouted unhappily.
"Come on, you two, cousin Li Fei, you're already grown up and you're still messing with her.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Wise King. I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Wise King is here too?" Li Fei symbolically saluted Yi Luoyao.
"Li Fei, are you so free today?"
"Your Highness, you truly think highly of me. People like me are usually idle like this every day. After all, I have no official position and no career."
"snort."
"Cousin Li Fei, why are you here?"
"I came to bring you something."
Li Fei waved her hand and asked someone to bring the box outside the door in.
"Here! This is for you." He asked someone to open the box.
"Wow! Uncle Li, there are so many jewels!!" Xiaoyue ran to the box and shouted exaggeratedly.
Gong Yuxian was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses. Although he was surprised, it was only a flash of surprise, and he quickly regained his composure.
"Do you like it? Then uncle will give it to you next time." Not to mention anything else, just for Gong Mingxue's face, as long as the little guy likes it, what's the harm in giving it to him? Besides, he also needs Xiaoyue'er's help.
"Really! Uncle Li is the best."
"What? Uncle Li is the best? Then Auntie is not so good?" Yi Luoyue called the little girl to her side and said jealously on purpose, stretched out her index finger and pressed lightly on her forehead.
"No way, Xiaoyue loves her aunt the most."
"Bai Die, go get a basin of water."
"Yes, Princess."
"Really? Look how dirty you are." He wiped Xiaoyue'er's dirty little face and black little paws with a wet wipe and tidied her messy hair.
"Take a break first, don't be naughty, I have guests here." She never said a harsh word, and just brushed off the trouble lightly.
"Oh." Xiaoyueer sat down on the main seat on the left without any hesitation.
"This gift is really valuable." Yi Luoyue looked at Li Fei and raised his eyebrows. He did it on purpose. This box of jewelry greatly outshined Gong Yuchen's gift.
Li Fei enjoyed the privilege of entering the princess's mansion without notifying anyone, so no one informed him when he came. This made Yi Luoyao and the others feel jealous, and this person had to be eliminated from Yi Luoyue's side as soon as possible.
"I heard that you have a distinguished guest here, so I came to see how distinguished he is." Li Fei greeted her without any hesitation.
"Is this... the 'distinguished' guest?" He casually found a chair and sat down.
The noise finally died down, and Gong Yuxian began to seriously examine Li Fei. Dressed in an exquisite long gown and with a languid expression, he looked like a young man from an aristocratic family, unable to carry anything. So he was Li Fei? Wu Cheng's son, Princess Yue's cousin, and her longtime suitor?
One had to admit, his family background and looks were quite good, despite his lack of official position. No wonder they said he was the most likely candidate for the title of Prince Consort. If he became a Prince Consort, wouldn't the official position be readily available? Ultimately, he was just another person seeking to ride on the princess's influence. As long as they planned properly, he wouldn't pose much of a threat.
"I am the prince of Xiyi, Gong Yuxian. I guess this must be the second son of Wu Cheng's family?" He greeted with a forced smile.
The Wu Cheng family, or the second son, doesn't he have a name! He is indeed not a good thing. Do you still think he is a direct legitimate son? Apart from Ming Xue's relationship, Gong Yuchen is much more pleasing to the eye than him.
"No problem, no problem, it's me."
"So the 'distinguished' guest is you, 'Prince Gongyu'? I wonder what brings you to the Princess's residence today?"
"Master Li, do you know me?"
"It's impossible not to know. There have been a lot of rumors about the prince in the teahouses lately."
"Oh, I haven't heard of this."
"Then I have to talk to you."
"Speaking."
"It's nothing, really. It's just that some people have been spreading rumors, saying that the Crown Prince is a rare talent, the perfect choice for a consort, a figure even the Crown Prince himself can't compare to. Oh! I'm just confused. The Crown Prince has never been to Yidu, so why are so many people praising you?"
"This... Gong Yuxian is ashamed. I'm afraid this is a misunderstanding of this prince." What did he mean by this? Was he trying to intimidate him or threaten him?
"Misunderstanding? Does the prince not want to become a consort, or is he... not as good as Li?"
"Your Highness, I have long admired you. I also know that you have countless admirers. Anyone who insists that I am the perfect choice for a consort must be trying to sow discord. I hope Your Highness will not believe it.
Yi Luoyue picked up the teacup and played with it casually. The smile on her lips grew wider, but she didn't say anything.
"Prince, do you mean that I am trying to instigate you?"
"Second Master Li, everyone in Yidu knows that you've long admired the princess. I know I'm not as good as you, but that doesn't stop me from admiring her, right? Besides, as long as the princess hasn't decided on a husband, it's not impossible for you and I to compete."
I haven't been able to deal with Yi Luoyue for so long, I guess she doesn't like it. Gong Yuxian thought self-righteously and automatically interpreted it as the answer he liked.
"Princess, someone is here to see you." A guard outside the hall reported.
Needless to say, she probably knew who it was, after all, Xiaoyue had just come back covered in dirt.
"Please ask him to come in." The noise from these men gave him a headache. He picked up the snacks on the coffee table and stuffed them into the little guy's hands. Yi Luoyue picked up the osmanthus tea and sat in her seat, sipping it sip by sip.
"Fight? Sure, but I heard that the prince already has several concubines. Why, do you think our princess would share a husband with someone else?" Li Fei mocked him.
"Second Young Master Li! You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I don't have a single concubine in my house." Gong Yuxian defended himself. He didn't expect Li Fei to know all this. Fortunately, those women had been dealt with before he came.
"But I don't deny that I was once young and frivolous. But ever since I fell in love with the princess, I have changed my former absurd and decadent ways. I hope to grow old together with Your Highness, and live in harmony with her."
The footsteps outside the door, which were approaching from far away, suddenly stopped.
Is he here? Because the little girl beside her was gently tugging at her sleeve.
"Have you all come to my princess's mansion to quarrel? I wonder if the prince has ever met this princess?"
"It is a great pity that the princess's beauty has not yet been seen."
"You've admired me for so long without even meeting me? I find it hard to believe."
His moving confession deeply locked onto Yi Luoyue's exposed big eyes, but his affectionate and touching confession was mistaken for being a bit of a drama.
"But since the prince said he loves me, I do have a question."
"Thank you for your kindness, Princess. I will tell you everything I know and devote myself to you." Gong Yuxian quickly collected his thoughts, put on the appearance of a gentleman, and said with a smile.
It would be better to end with "until death". Xiaoyue added this secretly in her heart.
"Is the prince here for the position of the prince consort?"
"Gong Yu has dedicated himself to being a member of the Yi Kingdom. He is willing to contribute his humble strength to the Yi Kingdom and the princess, and to assist the king in shouldering the heavy responsibility of the world.
"So you are so eager to be loyal to the royal family!" Li Fei smiled faintly, but the sarcasm in her words made Gong Yuxian blush instantly.
"you!"
"Ugh..." Xiaoyue, who was eating snacks, suddenly made a vomiting gesture.
"Xiao Yue'er!"
"Little guy! What's wrong with you?"
"Auntie, Uncle Li, I feel sick and want to vomit."
