Chapter 252: Why doesn’t the young general dare to look at me?
"You-you hit me?"
Ye Anping was slapped hard, and a red Five Finger Mountain instantly appeared on his right cheek.
He looked at Ye Ninglan in front of him in disbelief, gritting his teeth and saying, "How dare you!"
When in the imperial capital of Xiling, Ye Ninglan also acted casually and was very difficult to get along with, but she still had to put in some superficial efforts towards him, the prince.
Ye Ninglan looked down on his younger brothers and was often sarcastic in his words, but this was the first time he had ever hit him.
"What's wrong with hitting you? Just because you came here in the middle of the night and said something so stupid, I'm going to give you eighteen more slaps."
Ye Ninglan sneered and raised his hand.
Seeing this, Ye Anping immediately took a step back. His imperial sister always kept her word. If she said that it would not be excessive to slap him eighteen times, she would really do it.
Seeing Ye Anping dodge so quickly, Ye Ninglan's mocking smile deepened by three points, "You better have something serious to say if you come here tonight, otherwise, go back to where you came from."
"Royal sister!" Ye Anping was a little annoyed by her attitude. "If you want to stay in Daxing and marry, you can choose their fourth or ninth prince. Why do you have to marry the Prince of Chang'an who already has a wife? The Prince of Chang'an and his princess are deeply in love and don't want to marry you. Even if he really agrees to marry you under pressure from the peace talks between the two countries, your future life will not be easy."
Ye Ninglan listened patiently to the Crown Prince's words until Ye Anping said, "My Royal Sister has always been fond of men. It's okay for her to act ridiculously in the Xiling Imperial Capital, but why is she still like this at such a critical moment in the peace talks between the two countries..."
Ye Ninglan walked to the table, picked up a cup of tea, raised his hand and splashed it on Ye Anping's face.
Ye Anping dodged very quickly this time, but half of his face was still wet.
He had just been slapped by Ye Ninglan, and was very cautious when he saw her move, but no matter how cautious he was, he could not withstand her fast attack.
"Ye, Ning, Lan!" Ye Anping raised his hand to wipe the tea off his face, calling Ye Ninglan's name word by word, "This prince is trying to persuade you with good intentions. If you don't appreciate it, then that's fine. But what's the point of pouring tea without a word?"
Ye Ninglan casually placed the empty teacup on the table and said, "I will pour it on you if I want to."
Without waiting for Ye Anping to speak, she continued, "I thought you weren't smart when you were little, but I never thought you'd get dumber the older you get. Do you really think I was attracted to Huo Zheng's face?"
Ye Anping's expression was somewhat ugly, "What else?"
Ye Ninglan smiled and laughed, then suddenly sighed, "Why is it that Daxing is full of talented people, but my Xiling is full of fools like you?"
"Everyone is a fool in your eyes!" Ye Anping said, "Stop talking nonsense here. If you have the guts, speak clearly!"
Ye Ninglan stood with his hands behind his back, "Okay, then you better listen carefully!"
She said, "I want to marry Huo Zheng not for his beauty, but to disrupt the internal affairs of Daxing and gain the opportunity to adjust the terms of the peace talks for Xiling. This is a strategy that kills two birds with one stone. You will soon understand the wisdom of this move."
Ye Anping didn't want to believe what she said, but decided to negotiate. After they came to Xizhou City, the two sides had negotiated several times but all ended in failure. They did get a chance to ease the situation after Ye Ninglan took the initiative to propose to go to Daxing for marriage and chose the King of Chang'an.
But the Crown Prince of Xiling was unwilling to admit that he was inferior to a woman. "This Crown Prince is looking at you just to find an excuse to marry Huo Zheng."
Ye Ninglan looked at Ye Anping with disdain, "I'm really talking to a deaf person, playing the lute to a cow."
Ye Anping saw that she was about to raise her hand again, so this time he took the initiative and started fighting with Ye Ninglan.
There were many furnishings in the room. When the two men started fighting, they accidentally bumped into the eight-treasure rack next to them. A porcelain vase fell to the ground with a "bang" sound, which was very harsh in the dead of night.
Ye Ninglan felt something was wrong when he heard that, and Ye Anping was also stunned for a moment.
The next moment, someone came quickly and appeared outside the door. "Is the princess okay?"
It’s Shao Feiyang.
Tonight, the guards in the Plum Blossom Garden were teased by Ye Ninglan and retreated outside the courtyard. Shao Feiyang passed by here during his night patrol and felt that their behavior was inappropriate, so he went in to check.
As soon as he entered the yard, he heard the sound of porcelain breaking.
There's something wrong with this movement.
After Shao Feiyang asked aloud outside the door, he put his ear close to listen. After waiting for a moment, when he heard no response from Ye Ninglan, he was about to push the door open and go in.
Ye Ninglan saw the figure outside the door moving, and immediately gave Ye Anping a look, telling him to hide quickly.
Ye Anping looked around and knew that he definitely couldn't hide under the bed. This was the first place everyone looked at during a search. If he climbed out the window now, he would be caught immediately.
Then Prince Xiling had an idea, jumped onto the beam and squatted on it.
The moment Ye Anping hid, Shao Feiyang pushed the door open and walked in. Ye Ninglan sat down nearby, picked up the wine jug on the table, raised it high and poured it down. She opened her mouth to take the wine with a bold and romantic attitude.
When Shao Feiyang entered, he saw the flickering candlelight, splashing wine, and Princess Xiling drinking heavily.
Ye Ninglan quickly drank the whole pot of wine and threw it to the ground, breaking it into pieces.
The new broken pieces of porcelain were mixed with the previous ones and were difficult to distinguish under the candlelight.
Ye Ninglan raised her eyes to look at Shao Feiyang, and asked with a smile: "The night is long and I have no desire to sleep. Are you here to entertain me, young general?"
Shao Feiyang looked into Ye Ninglan's eyes. He usually felt that the Princess of Xiling was like a charming enchantress. Tonight, she had drunk some wine and seemed to be a little tipsy. Her beautiful eyes were full of affection, making her even more charming and captivating.
The young general's family rules were very strict. He had hardly ever spoken to a girl since he grew up. He had been served by servants since he was a child, and the wet nurse was removed before he could even remember.
The first beauty I saw was a stunning beauty like Princess Xiling.
Shao Feiyang couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed, but even so he didn't forget that he came in to check because he heard the noise.
He avoided Ye Ninglan's sight and tried not to look at her as much as possible, and continued to explore inside.
The Xiling envoys have not met Ye Ninglan since they entered Xizhou City. Now is a critical time for peace talks, and they will definitely find ways to meet the eldest princess.
Ye Ninglan had never met the Xiling envoys, but she had already proposed to stay in Daxing and chose the troublesome request of King Chang'an. If she were to meet those people, wouldn't they put forward more troublesome conditions?
Thinking this, Shao Feiyang planned to go around Ye Ninglan and go inside.
But just as he passed by Ye Ninglan, Ye Ninglan suddenly raised her leg to block his way, smiling, and said softly: "Young General, why don't you dare look at me?"
