Chapter 155 I have a feeling you will change your mind
As soon as the words fell, the air around them seemed to freeze in an instant, and only the lake water slapped against the side of the boat, making a dull echo.
Xiyan trembled all over. She looked at Helian Feng's burning eyes. She didn't expect that he would ask Xiao Nanyue for it so openly. Her heart was pounding and she glanced at Xiao Nanyue secretly.
But he frowned slightly, and suddenly sneered:
"Why, is this maidservant in my palace so likable?"
"Yes!" Helian Feng spoke frankly.
Xiao Nanyan narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes dark and unclear:
"Shu'er has asked for her before. As I said, the entrance to the Prince Regent's Palace is not high, and she can come and go freely. If she is willing, I will not stop her - just ask her!"
Xiyan glanced at Xiao Nanyue's tense jaw and knew that he had kicked the ball to her again.
She could only take a deep breath and bow to Helian Feng. Although her voice was soft, every word was clear:
"Your Highness, I am of humble origin and unfit to serve you. I am blessed with the Prince's protection in the Regent's Palace and have no other requests."
She raised her head and looked Helian Feng in the eye:
"Your Highness's appreciation, this servant dares not accept it without permission."
Helian Feng's expression did not change, as if he knew she would respond like this, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his lips:
"If that's the case, I'll wait until the day you're willing. But I have a feeling you'll change your mind."
Helian Feng and Xiao Nanyan's eyes suddenly collided in the air.
One seems calm and composed, but there are undercurrents in his eyes; the other has cold eyebrows and eyes, but there is no emotion in his eyes.
The moment their eyes met, they suddenly smiled at each other, but the smile did not reach their eyes. Only they knew the reason.
Xiao Nanyan seemed quite satisfied with Xiyan's resounding rejection. He strode forward, embraced her petite body with his long arms, and lifted her up horizontally. His dark robe fell like the night, wrapping her completely.
"Since the clothes are wet,"
He lowered his head and glanced at the trembling person in his arms, his voice low and ambiguous:
"After we reach the shore, follow me back to the palace. As such a loyal servant, how about I personally give you a hot bath?"
Xiyan didn't expect that Xiao Nanyue would say these words so bluntly. A red cloud rose on her cheeks, and even her earlobes were so hot that they almost dripped blood.
She was thrown into a state of panic by his teasing. She felt as if the gazes from everyone around her were thorns on her back. She buried her face in his arms and did not dare to look up at anyone.
Helian Feng's pupils suddenly contracted, the fingers under his python-patterned sleeves turned slightly white, and the curve of his mouth became increasingly stiff.
Chu Jin stood not far away, watching coldly:
"It seems that the Regent wants to take advantage of the situation and not let outsiders take advantage of it, so he's going to take action first?"
Fu Yunqing came forward, waving his folding fan, a mischievous smile in his eyes:
"This is called the one who is closest to the water gets the moon first!"
Chu Jin sneered:
"The Regent isn't picky, so I'm fine with him. However, since I'm about to marry the princess, shouldn't I avoid suspicion?"
Fu Yunqing chuckled:
"When flowers are ready to be picked, pick them immediately; don't wait until there are no more flowers to pluck empty branches—do you want Nan Yan to emulate Liu Xiahui, and remain calm even when a beautiful woman sits on his lap? Imperial Master, let's not talk about others, but can you do it yourself?"
"you……"
Chu Jin suddenly remembered the enchanting face of the beautiful woman and her graceful figure bending under him, and his body suddenly tensed up.
Fu Yunqing saw his fixed gaze and chuckled:
"Could it be that there is also a charming maid in the Imperial Master's mansion?"
Chu Jin snapped back to his senses and met Fu Yunqing's teasing gaze, becoming furious and embarrassed.
"I have always been a chaste and self-disciplined person, and I have no interest in the maidservants in this mansion!"
He did not forget to satirize Fu Yunqing:
"But you, you have no home to return to, and you stay in other people's homes all day long. Are you in need of a bed warmer, and you want to ask for a beautiful maid from the Regent's Palace?"
Fu Yunqing had nothing better to do, and he loved bickering. Suddenly, he became interested:
"That's exactly what Yunqing was thinking. Recently, I've fallen in love with a maidservant named Hongying from Nanyan Mansion. Her waist and buttocks are truly the best in the world."
He glanced at Chu Jin's handsome face, which was gradually changing color, and smiled frivolously:
"Of course I can't compare to the pure and unselfish Imperial Master. I can't pretend to be calm and composed, with my heart agitated every day. Well, Hongying is a real hottie. If I could get her on the bed, then, hehehe..."
Chu Jin's face suddenly darkened. For some reason, when Fu Yunqing mentioned Hongying, his mind inexplicably thought of Manluo. He felt even more unhappy and warned:
"Fu Yunqing, take care of your own romantic affairs. I don't have time to chat with you!"
"Tsk tsk, you're getting angry out of shame!"
Fu Yunqing took two steps closer:
"Master, you said you don't like women, but would you be so sneaky as to turn the Guanyin Bodhisattva in your house into a demon?"
Before he finished speaking, Chu Jin suddenly turned around, and a red snake suddenly emerged from his sleeve, spitting out blood-red tongues, startling Fu Yunqing so much that he jumped back half a step.
"Fu Yunqing, you'd better control your mouth. Otherwise, I don't mind letting the Red Snake Fairy break her fast."
"Okay, okay, just pretend I didn't say anything. It was just a joke. You're so clueless!"
Fu Yunqing stuck out his tongue at the red snake, which startled the snake and made it prepare to attack.
Xiyan was teased by the two of them and felt so embarrassed that her whole body went limp. She nestled in Xiao Nanyue's arms and dared not look up again.
Xiao Nanyan chuckled softly, and hugged the person tighter with his long arms:
"It seems that my Yanyan is embarrassed?"
He raised his eyebrows and glanced at everyone, then turned and walked towards the banquet area on the painted boat:
"Okay, let's all go back!"
Helian Feng looked at Xiao Nanyue's back as he hugged Xiyan tightly and left, his eyes flashing.
"Let's go!"
Xusou unclenched his fists, his face regaining its usual calmness.
"It was a false alarm. Go back and continue your meal."
