Chapter 54: Deliberate
Hu Jiao suppressed her thoughts and quickly stood up with an apologetic smile: “Yes, yes, yes! This official will immediately order the dishes to be served!”
She raised her hands and clapped, and the servants immediately entered in a line carrying delicacies.
After most of the dishes were served, Hu Jiao suddenly smiled at Feng Bai Su and said: “I’ve heard that Your Highness is most fond of beautiful men. This official has recently acquired several exquisite men, each with outstanding charm! I wonder if Your Highness would be interested in seeing their beauty?”
Hearing this, Feng Bai Su’s peach blossom eyes immediately lit up, seemingly a bit impatient.
She coughed lightly behind her hand, suppressing her voice as she replied: “Quickly bring them up for this princess to see!”
Her tone was rapid, as if trying hard to suppress the excitement in her heart.
Seeing this, a gleam flashed across Hu Jiao’s eyes, and she immediately brought the men up.
Moments later, several slender men walked in.
Scattered snowflakes floated in the sky, yet these men wore only a light gauze. Their graceful figures were faintly visible under the thin gauze.
The men walked gracefully under the lights, their refined and elegant faces suddenly exposed to everyone.
Especially Feng Bai Su in the seat of honor, who could clearly see the faces of the men.
Her gaze fell somewhat critically on their faces, as if selecting the best one.
Then, pointing at the one in the middle, she said lightly: “You, come here!”
The young man had a beautiful face and an otherworldly aura.
At first glance, he somewhat resembled Wei Jing Mo, both like unworldly celestial beings!
Seeing this, Hu Jiao’s eyes couldn’t help but deepen.
It seemed that Wei Zheng Jun’s appearance just happened to match this princess’s preferences.
Upon hearing Feng Bai Su’s voice, the young man raised his head. Seeing her exquisite and beautiful face, her peach blossom eyes now looking at him deeply.
His face couldn’t help but blush.
He bowed slightly and saluted: “Yes.”
Then, he walked gracefully to Feng Bai Su’s side.
Feng Bai Su leaned closer, reaching out to pinch his chin. Her deep gaze began to inspect his face.
Just as the young man was about to soften and lean in, she suddenly frowned and threw him to the ground.
Looking at Hu Jiao below with dissatisfaction, she said: “Is this the exquisite man you found? He’s not even one-tenth as beautiful as the beauty by this princess’s side! How dare you bring him before this princess!”
Feng Bai Su stood up abruptly from her chair and kicked it away.
With a loud “bang”!
The crowd below, who had been happily chatting, immediately shuddered and fell silent.
“What a disappointment!”
Feng Bai Su clicked her tongue lightly, looking down at Hu Jiao from above: “You’ve completely ruined this princess’s good mood!”
She frowned impatiently and said coldly: “This princess thinks there’s no need for this welcoming banquet!”
After speaking, she turned and walked towards the exit.
Passing by the young man who had fallen to the ground, she didn’t even glance at him, “My little beauty is still the most beautiful! This princess must have been bored to waste time with you fools. In this time, this princess could have had several intimate moments with my little beauty!”
Seemingly still unsatisfied, she coldly threw out one last sentence before leaving: “Fools!”
Then she left in a huff.
Leaving behind a group of people in the hall staring at each other.
Hu Jiao stood in place, her chest heaving violently for a long time. Anyone would be affected by being called a fool.
A nearby official who was on good terms with her approached and looked at her with dissatisfaction: “Madam Hu, this Seventh Princess is quite different from what you described! Didn’t you say she was just a profligate who craved beauty? With such a violent temperament and unpredictable moods, you still want to control her to fight against Wei Yang? You…”
Although she didn’t finish her last sentence, Hu Jiao understood her meaning. Her already unpleasant expression became even worse.
Barely suppressing the anger in her heart, she squeezed out a smile: “Madam Li, please calm down! The Seventh Princess did indeed seem polite when entering the city. I didn’t expect her to show her true colors so quickly! But doesn’t this better prove that this person is superficial? If we can humor her, we’ll surely be able to bring down Wei Yang!”
“Hmph!”
Hearing this, Madam Li let out a cold laugh, “Humor her? If you, Madam Hu, want to be her lackey, I won’t stop you, but don’t count me in!”
They were all used to being at the top in this border city, and no one wanted to be subservient to others.
They wanted to bring Wei Yang down because they didn’t want her above them anymore, but now a Seventh Princess had come who would still be above them.
Although Wei Yang’s pressure in Ye City was heavy, at least she was a normal person and didn’t often stay in Ye City.
But this Seventh Princess was so unpredictable and unstable, where did Hu Jiao get the idea that she could control her?
Many people shared the same thoughts as Madam Li, all feeling that Hu Jiao was courting death!
They didn’t want to be involved anymore!
Therefore, they all left their seats and took their leave.
In an instant, only Hu Jiao and a few loyal subordinate officials remained in the banquet hall.
Hu Jiao’s face instantly darkened, her gaze at their departing figures as black as if it could drip ink.
—
After leaving the governor’s mansion, the impatience on Feng Bai Su’s face instantly vanished.
She let out a light laugh and walked forward with leisurely steps.
Returning to the residence, as soon as she entered the room, she looked up to see Wei Jing Mo still sitting there.
Seeing this, she couldn’t help but frown slightly and walked over.
“Why haven’t you gone to sleep yet?”
Wei Jing Mo immediately stood up when he saw her and came to greet her.
He was about to say something when he smelled an unfamiliar male fragrance on her.
His expression instantly changed.
Seeing Feng Bai Su reach out to hold his hand, he instinctively took a few steps back.
Feng Bai Su saw him avoid her hand, her movement paused, then she forcefully grasped his hand in hers.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Her other hand pinched his chin, wanting to see the expression on his face clearly.
Seeing his eyes red, with a hint of moisture in his ink-black pupils.
She suddenly felt at a loss, her voice softening: “What’s wrong with you? Why are you crying for no reason?”
But Wei Jing Mo broke free from her grip, “I’ve been worrying about Your Highness’s safety, waiting here anxiously. And what do I get? It seems Your Highness was having too much fun to remember home!”
He couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh, “I see Your Highness was too engrossed in play!”
“What do you mean by that?”
Feng Bai Su didn’t understand why he was so angry or why he would say such things.
Seeing her still pretending to be ignorant, Wei Jing Mo looked at her with a stern face, “If Your Highness wanted to conceal it, shouldn’t you have dealt with the scent on your body first? With the fragrance of other men on you, how can you say you weren’t too engrossed?”
Feng Bai Su: “…”
She suddenly let out a low laugh, forcefully pulling him to sit in her embrace.
“Are you jealous?”
But Wei Jing Mo pushed her away, expressionless: “Don’t come near me, you smell terrible!”
“Where do I smell? It’s clearly very fragrant…”
She pretended to lift her sleeve and sniff, “Don’t believe me? Smell it yourself!”
As she spoke, she held it up to Wei Jing Mo’s face.
Seeing her shameless behavior, Wei Jing Mo laughed angrily, “Is Your Highness deliberately trying to provoke me?”
Smell what? The fragrance of other men on her?
Seeing that Feng Bai Su had been exposed but still acted so nonchalant, his heart instantly soured, and tears began to roll down in streams.
“If Your Highness is interested in other men, there’s no need to be so secretive. Just tell me! As the Male Empress, I will naturally make proper arrangements for my wife-master!”
Seeing that he was about to continue, Feng Bai Su lowered her head first and sealed his thin lips.
Her red lips lightly traced the shape of his lips, constantly turning and pressing. Her tongue pushed open his thin lips and rushed in, sweeping around inside without allowing refusal.
“Mmph…”
Wei Jing Mo let out a soft moan, unable to bear it, wanting to retreat.
But Feng Bai Su pressed her large palm against him, pushing him back, her red lips pressing heavily against his thin ones.
After a long while, she finally released him, satisfied.
She let out a light pant, resting her forehead against his, her voice hoarse: “There were no men…”
As she spoke, she told him everything that had happened at today’s welcoming banquet.
The misunderstanding between them was resolved.
Wei Jing Mo pressed his swollen thin lips together, lowering his eyes a bit embarrassed.
But Feng Bai Su wouldn’t let him off, teasing: “Little jealous one!”
At this, Wei Jing Mo’s face reddened even more, even his ears tinged with a layer of light red.
His voice was weak and somewhat dissatisfied: “…Who told you not to explain earlier.”
“Besides,” he stiffened his neck and became stubborn again, “if you hadn’t gotten so close to him, how would you have gotten his fragrance on you?”
Just thinking about her having the scent of other men on her made him feel immediately upset.
“Hurry up and take off your outer robe! It smells awful!”
Wei Jing Mo couldn’t help but furrow his brows, reaching out to tug at her brocade robe.
Seeing this, Feng Bai Su raised an eyebrow and followed his lead, taking off her outer robe.
After removing it, she tugged at the white inner shirt on her body and deliberately asked: “Do I need to take this off too?” Her tone was full of teasing.
Only after receiving a glare from Wei Jing Mo did she behave herself.
Wei Jing Mo threw her outer robe far away, then came back and nestled into her embrace.
His little head nuzzled around, sniffing everywhere with his nose.
Only when his nostrils were filled with her unique, enchanting floral scent did he finally relax, rubbing his cheek against her inner shirt.
Feng Bai Su indulged his series of small actions, simply holding his waist without moving.
Seeing the young gentleman in her arms finally settle down, she chuckled softly by his ear: “The young gentleman is quite domineering!”
Wei Jing Mo pretended not to hear, curling up in her embrace and feigning deafness.
But the ink-black eyes hidden in her embrace were gleaming brightly, radiant!
He knew he shouldn’t be like this, as it was perfectly normal for a woman to have three husbands and four male concubines.
But Feng Bai Su had given him hope, made him feel that she belonged only to him!
Wei Jing Mo inwardly snorted: The reason he had become so greedy was entirely her fault! So, she would have to bear the consequences herself!
Young Master Wei thought this way in his heart without any burden.
