Chapter 296: How Thick-Skinned

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Unlike last night, todays flower viewing banquet was not a formal banquet. Therefore, there was no obvious division between men and women. They were all seated according to family.

When Liu s.h.i.+mei entered, she attracted many glances, some of which were malicious, and she sensitively swept her gaze over them.

To her surprise, Liu Yaner was sitting together with Liu Anhe!

Liu Yaners leg injury had relapsed last night, and she did not go back. She even asked someone to carry her over!

It seemed that he was unwilling to let go of any opportunity to get close to the Crown Prince.

Lets go, lets go. Liang Yi reached out to pull Liu s.h.i.+mei away.

Huangfu Lingyao was quick to intercept and grabbed his hand, preventing him from touching her. Dont lay a hand on Wife!

Liang Yi glared at him. Whats wrong with me pulling my sister?

Liu s.h.i.+mei did not bother to mediate and said with a smile, Lingyao, lets go sit with Ninth Brother and the others.

Before Huangfu Lingyao could reply, the Crown Prince, who had already taken his seat, turned around. Seeing them still standing, he said, Second Imperial Brother, come sit over here!

Beside him, there was an empty table!

He didnt call Liu s.h.i.+mei to join them, only Huangfu Lingyao!

Huangfu Lingyao was speechless.

How could he not see that Huangfu He was deliberately trying to separate him and Liu s.h.i.+mei?

I dont want to! Theres an advantage to being a fool, and it showed now. I want to sit with Wife. Wherever she goes, 111 be there!

These two brothers were indeed the center of attention. Everyone looked at them quietly for a moment.

Huangfu Lingyaos face showed a silly and childish expression as he tightly held Liu s.h.i.+meis hand. Wife, 1 want to be with you!

Liu s.h.i.+mei felt a bit of a headache!

Huangfu He was the Crown Prince, and if he did not arrange for her to sit there, she naturally could not go. Breaking royal rules was not as simple as offending just one person.

Liang Yi took the opportunity to pull Liu s.h.i.+meis sleeve and said, Sister, come over here quickly!

This time, Huangfu Lingyao did not object to Liang Yis actions. He allowed Liang Yi to pull Liu s.h.i.+mei to the side where the Liang family members were sitting. Then, he followed her and sat beside Liu s.h.i.+mei shamelessly.

Everyone looked at him and could not help but sigh in their hearts. Silly Second Prince was indeed Silly Second Prince. His skin was really thick!

Someone looked at Liu s.h.i.+mei sympathetically. The proud daughter of heaven had such a fiance. No wonder she was also shameless and threw away everything she had.

No matter how dignified a person was, she could not maintain the face of a lady from a n.o.ble family when she met such a fool!

Huangfu Lingyaos actions were an open provocation to the Crown Prince. Huangfu Hes forehead vein throbbed, but as the Crown Prince, he had to suppress his anger. He could not argue with a fool, that would be too embarra.s.sing.

He said, Since you want to sit there, be my guest.

Then, he turned to the Chief Eunuch beside him and said, Deal with the previous matter first, and then resume the banquet later.

After all the commotion, it was already past noon.

Bring in Miss Guan and Miss Jin! the Chief Eunuch shouted.

Not only did they bring Guan Ruping, Jin Weier, and Huaner, but they also brought their other maidservants.

Their faces were ashen and filled with despair. Her hair was also messy, and even a few of the hairpins on Guan Rupings bun had fallen off.

Jin Weier was trembling all over. She had been crying for a long time, and her eyes were swollen like a pair of peaches.

After they were brought in, they knelt in the middle of the hall and faced Huangfu He.

Upon seeing these people, Huangfu Lingyaos anger flared up. Ignoring Liu s.h.i.+meis pull, he suddenly stood up and said, Its you who harmed my wife!

Second Brother, sit down! Huangfu He reprimanded with the dignity of a Crown Prince.

Would Huangfu Lingyao listen?

Of course not.

Only one person could control him!
