143 If You Look at Me Again, I'll Eat You Up
The protagonist always appears last. Feng Qingchen didn't want to be the focus of everyone's attention, so he went out on time. Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished, and the carriage broke down outside the city.
"It looks like we can't go." Feng Qingchen looked at the condition of the carriage and knew that today was not going to be a good day. He stopped several passing carriages, but no one was willing to lend a hand.
The only one who stopped, upon hearing that she was Feng Qingchen, immediately ordered the driver to whip and drive away, as if he would be unlucky if he had anything to do with Feng Qingchen.
"Miss, what should we do now?" the driver asked anxiously.
It's in the wilderness, with no village in front and no shop behind, and it's difficult to find someone to help.
"It's okay. Untie the rope on the horse and I'll ride it." Feng Qingchen said indifferently.
Since some people didn't want her to appear at the poetry reading, she insisted on going.
"But this horse has no saddle and stirrups. How can the young lady ride it?"
"You can still ride, just go slower. Untie the ropes." Looking at the sky, Feng Qingchen thought that if she didn't get on the road, she would probably be late.
The driver dared not disobey the order and went forward obediently, but at this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from behind him.
Who is coming? Why is there such a big scene?
As they got closer, dust flew up. Feng Qingchen quickly stood by the roadside to avoid being hit to death or being covered in dust.
Fine horses led the way, and guards guarded the way. Only those who could deserve this honor were princes or grandchildren of the emperor, or the rich and powerful. Feng Qingchen avoided them silently, but the convoy that didn't want to move forward suddenly stopped.
"Huh?" Feng Qingchen was stunned for a moment, but saw a man who looked like a eunuch walking towards him.
"Miss Feng, the Ninth Prince invites you."
Feng Qingchen's eyes suddenly widened, and her beautiful black eyes were full of disbelief.
How could it be such a coincidence?
What a beautiful girl!
The eunuch felt his heart pounding and lowered his head quickly: "Miss Feng, hurry up, don't keep the Ninth Prince waiting for too long."
The Ninth Prince did not ride a horse, but sat in a carriage pulled by four handsome horses. The carriage was completely black, and it looked grand and noble.
In this world, only the Ninth Prince is qualified to ride in this carriage.
"Okay, please, eunuch." Feng Qingchen came back to her senses and smiled at the eunuch, which frightened the eunuch so much that he dared not look at her and quickly led the way.
Feng Qingchen came to the carriage, and before she could speak, she heard the Ninth Prince say, "Get in the carriage."
There was a hint of laziness in the Ninth Prince's voice.
Obviously, the Ninth Prince knew her current situation.
"Thank you, Uncle Nine." Feng Qingchen suppressed the throbbing in his heart and said in a calm voice.
The Ninth Prince's carriage was not shared with anyone else, and she had never had the chance to ride in it. She never expected that she would have the chance to ride in it with the Ninth Prince.
Is this a blessing in disguise? Feng Qingchen tried hard to suppress the upward curve of her mouth.
"Please come in, Miss Feng." The eunuch cleverly helped Feng Qingchen onto the carriage, but he himself stepped aside and did not follow.
Feng Qingchen nodded in thanks, his eyes becoming brighter.
Opening the car door, Feng Qingchen was stunned...
She had always known that the Ninth Prince was very handsome, but when she saw the Ninth Prince in a black robe, half lying on the couch, his head resting on a ceramic pillow, concentrating on reading a book, she couldn't help swallowing.
Young Master is unparalleled!
When it comes to the beauty trap, the Ninth Prince can take action without doing anything and make people fall into the trap automatically.
Wang Jinling is the moon, and the Ninth Prince is the sun. Even if he stands in a corner and is dressed in rags, he cannot hide the dazzling light.
"Have you seen enough?" Such a burning gaze, unless you are a dead person, how can you not feel it? However, since there is no malice, Dong Lingjiu was too lazy to pay attention. His slender fingers turned the pages of the book, and the rustling sound made Feng Qingchen feel dry in the mouth.
Hearing that there was no disgust in the Ninth Prince's tone, Feng Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief, calmly closed the carriage door, sat down, and said with a smile: "Ninth Prince's immortal appearance, Qingchen will never get enough of it in this lifetime."
Is this another kind of confession?
Feng Qingchen smiled, very gracefully. Even though she liked the Ninth Prince, she could not lose herself because of him.
Um?
When did Feng Qingchen become so bold?
The Ninth Prince raised his eyebrows, put down his hand, looked up at Feng Qingchen, his dark eyes, as calm as autumn water, suddenly became deep and mysterious, and then calmed down again.
"Not ugly." Dong Lingjiu thought of his evaluation of Feng Qingchen when they first met, and changed it out of courtesy.
Feng Quanchen was not like the women nowadays, wearing fancy clothes and jewelry, but she was eye-catching.
Feng Qingchen is very beautiful, unlike the petite and thin women nowadays. She has a slender figure, fair skin, a faint smile, gorgeous and elegant, and her every move is unparalleled. Today's outfit is even more simple and generous, with a natural nobility and grandeur, showing her extraordinary pride.
Feng Qingchen doesn’t have any expensive jewelry on her body, but she has an arrogance that makes people dare not look at her directly. Such a woman is rare in Dongling, no, it should be the Jiuzhou Continent.
What a sensation it would cause if Feng Qingchen appeared at a poetry reading, and how stunning it would be when she blossomed.
There was a hint of expectation in Dong Lingjiu's eyes...
Perhaps today's hunt will be more exciting than usual.
Dong Lingjiu's eyes continued to fall on the book in his hand, but his mind drifted elsewhere.
The carriage was very large, with Feng Qingchen and Dong Lingjiu each occupying half, leaving a lot of space. The carriage continued to move forward. Feng Qingchen did not say where she was going, and Dong Lingjiu did not say that he wanted to take Feng Qingchen to a poetry meeting.
In the small carriage, one person was reading a book, and the other was looking at someone, and they could smell each other's scent with every breath.
What surprised Dong Lingjiu was that there was no scent of powder on Feng Qingchen's body, only a faint floral scent, which made him feel very happy.
He hated women getting close to him and hated the pungent smell on women. It would be very troublesome if he got involved.
Suddenly, the carriage shook, and Feng Qingchen lost his seat and fell towards Dong Lingjiu.
(5) Ah... Feng Qingchen was shocked. She knew that the Ninth Prince didn't like people touching him. This was terrible.
Unexpectedly, the Ninth Prince seemed to have anticipated it. When Feng Qingchen was falling towards him, he pushed the Tao pillow in front of Feng Qingchen.
"Sit tight!"
Implies reproach and dissatisfaction.
"Yes." Feng Qingchen responded while lying on Tao Zhen, with a trace of grievance on his face.
The Ninth Prince probably thought she did it on purpose, but she really didn't.
Feng Qingchen lay on the Tao pillow in a depressed mood, lowered his head, and wanted to explain but in the end he didn't say a word.
The Ninth Prince's lips were quietly pursed into a line.
The coachman came forward to apologize, and the Ninth Prince just responded without saying much.
The atmosphere in the car seemed a little different. Feng Qingchen didn't dare to look at Dong Lingjiu blatantly like before, and could only watch secretly...
His eyes are as bright as a thief's!
This look seemed as if he wanted to eat the Ninth Uncle.
Under such a gaze, Dong Lingjiu couldn't read at all, but she didn't show it on her face. She just looked serious, which made Feng Qingchen secretly happy, thinking that the Ninth Emperor didn't notice her peeking...
