288 Snow Brew, the Ninth Prince

Let down?

If she took it seriously, she would truly be betraying the Ninth Prince's kindness. The most qualification that the Ninth Prince could give her at this moment was: the Ninth Prince's woman!

Such an identity is not allowed in public and is not accepted by the world.

Don’t say that as long as they love each other, status doesn’t matter. She, Feng Qingchen, is an ordinary person, and ordinary people care about these worldly statuses.

Without that status, the Ninth Prince might get married at any time. She couldn't live in anxiety every day, and she didn't want her happiness to be like a bubble that would burst at the slightest touch.

Besides, whether the Ninth Prince was serious or joking remains to be discussed.

Feng Qingchen laughed at himself: "Qingchen is ungrateful."

well……

The Ninth Prince sighed softly, not knowing whether he was disappointed or relieved. He released his control over Feng Qingchen and walked a few steps past Feng Qingchen. “In that case, I will not force you. You have failed my kindness. How are you going to compensate me?”

"Compensation? How does the Ninth Prince want Qingchen to compensate? As long as Qingchen can do it, she will definitely not refuse." Hearing the Ninth Prince's words, Feng Qingchen was a little disappointed, but then she realized something. She thought this must be the Ninth Prince's purpose. It was good this way, at least she understood what she was in the Ninth Prince's heart.

"Since you are sincere in wanting to compensate me, I will not have the heart to refuse. Since you want to compensate me, do as I say. I will tell you later how to compensate me.

Come back with me now. It's best not to walk around this villa at night. If something happens at night, you should pretend you don't know. Do you understand?" The Ninth Prince walked back, deliberately slowing down his pace to match Feng Qingchen's pace.

"Yes." Feng Qingchen followed the Ninth Prince half a step slower than the Ninth Prince, and followed him calmly. This distance just reminded her of the gap between her and the Ninth Prince, and she still had a lot of room for improvement.

The importance of being well matched has not changed from ancient times to the present. Even if the two people are not of equal status, they should be of similar status. Feng Qingchen feels that at this moment, it is just fine for her and the Ninth Prince to be like this. The Ninth Prince is unmarried, and she is unmarried, and the two of them keep a certain distance, and everything else is up to fate.

The wind blew away the emotions in Feng Qingchen's heart. She began to secretly ponder the meaning of the Ninth Prince's words. She felt that tonight might not be peaceful. She just didn't know who was so unlucky to be remembered by the Ninth Prince.

It is true that no banquet is good. The Ninth Prince would never invite people to dinner for no reason. It is a rare occasion for the Ninth Prince to invite people to dinner, and he has gathered so many people together, so he will surely not let them go easily. I just hope that the Ninth Prince can scheme against me less.

Looking up at the starry sky, Feng Qingchen smiled with relief: No matter what happens tonight, tomorrow will be another sunny day and everything will be fine.

The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen appeared at the same time, successfully attracting everyone's attention. The Crown Prince, Xiling Tianlei, Zhai Dongming, Wang Qi and others all set their eyes on the two of them, looking back and forth between the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen, as if they wanted to see something from them.

Xiling Tianlei looked at Wang Jinling with ill intent, and that look seemed to be mocking Wang Jinling, saying, "The woman you pamper like a treasure, turns around and walks with the Ninth Prince."

The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen were walking together. Due to preconceived notions, everyone thought that Feng Qingchen was the one who took the initiative to pester the Ninth Prince. Would a man like the Ninth Prince spend his time on a woman?

If the Ninth Prince had taken a fancy to Feng Qingchen, he wouldn't have to bother with this. He could just carry her into the palace. As long as the Ninth Prince was willing, he could just wave his hand to get any woman in the world.

Xiling Tianlei thought that even if Wang Jinling was not angry, he would be dissatisfied. However, he did not expect that Wang Jinling acted as if he did not see anything at all.

Everyone thinks they understand the Ninth Uncle, but Wang Jinling trusts Feng Qingchen more and understands Feng Qingchen better. Feng Qingchen would not say that.

Feng Qingchen is a proud person. Even if she likes the Ninth Uncle, she will not go to the Ninth Uncle in the name of seeing the scenery and put herself in a passive position.

Wang Jinling smiled as usual, which was more soothing than the coolness of the night. He stood up and asked with a smile, "How is it? Are the lotus flowers in the Ninth Prince's courtyard as beautiful as I said, like a fairyland on earth?"

This sentence helped Feng Qingchen out of the predicament. Feng Qingchen smiled gratefully. When he was about to speak, the Ninth Prince took the lead and said, "I didn't expect that the lotus flowers in my pond would catch the eldest master's eye. I don't know whether these lotus flowers are as beautiful as a fairyland on earth. However, I do have a few jars of snow wine in my courtyard, which is known as fairy wine. Just now, Feng Qingchen said that it would be too boring to have scenery without wine. In this case, I will take out the snow wine."

Xue Niang? Hearing these two words, everyone simply ignored the Ninth Prince's casual address to Feng Qingchen.

As soon as the word "xueniao" came out, everyone looked at the Ninth Prince differently.

Everyone present was asking in their hearts, who is this man Dong Lingjiu?

How could a prince without real power in the Dongling Imperial City possibly afford such a treasure as Xue Niang?

Xueniang is a kind of wine made secretly by a queen of the royal family of the previous dynasty. It is a secret recipe that was not passed on to outsiders. According to people who have tasted it, after drinking Xueniang, no other wine can be appreciated. Xueniang is undoubtedly the best wine in the world.

However, with the demise of the previous dynasty, the recipe of snow brew also disappeared, and no new snow brew has appeared since then.

Looking across the Kyushu continent, apart from the remote Liancheng which has the snow wine left over from the previous dynasty, there is no other place that can produce snow wine.

Every jar of snow wine has a record, and Liancheng only has a total of more than a hundred jars. This makes the snow wine even more precious, and even the Lord of Liancheng is reluctant to drink it.

The Lord of Liancheng City once said that this snow wine was one of the few treasures left over from the previous dynasty, and he would never allow the treasure of the previous dynasty to disappear in his hands. The Liancheng Hundred Jars of Snow Wine was not for people to drink, but a thought, a special existence.

The royal families of the four countries went to Liancheng every year to ask for wine, but they never got any. This shows how precious snow wine is. But how could they not be surprised when the Ninth Prince asked for several jars.

Even the emperor cannot get what he wants, but the Ninth Prince has it. What does this mean? It means that the Ninth Prince's reputation is greater than that of the royal family, and the people of Liancheng are selling the Ninth Prince's reputation.

The fact that the people of Liancheng can give him face shows that the Ninth Prince is not simple. He is really not simple. The way people look at the Ninth Prince, besides having the intention of winning him over, is more of a defensive look.

Such a man is definitely not an ordinary person, and Xiling Tianlei is even more determined to marry the Ninth Uncle. He really wants to be on good terms with the Ninth Uncle. Once such a man becomes an enemy, he will definitely be a terrible opponent.

Everyone was in a daze for a long time. Feng Qingchen looked at this and that in confusion, and whispered to the Ninth Uncle: "Is this snow wine special? Why do they all have such expressions?"

“It is very special. It cannot be more special. It is just wine, and wine is for people to drink. How can a jar of wine represent the previous dynasty? Looking at the jar of wine, you can’t see the prosperity of the previous dynasty. The previous dynasty has destroyed the current Jiuzhou continent. It is the world of Dongling, Nanling, Xiling and Beiling. Although this snow wine is from the previous dynasty, what does it have to do with the previous dynasty now?” The snow wine that is regarded as a treasure by the world is nothing more than a dead thing in the eyes of the Ninth Uncle.

The previous dynasty has perished, so what's the point of keeping these dead things? A jar of snow wine cannot show the prosperity of the previous dynasty, cannot continue the bloodline of the previous dynasty, and cannot reproduce the glory of the previous dynasty.

Not only that, but it actually adds to the sadness. These hundred jars of snow wine placed in Liancheng are a reminder to the world that the previous dynasty has been destroyed!
