The Captivating Crown Prince
chapter-55

Chapter 55

The first thing he saw was a golden board with three words written on it: “Eldest Prince’s Mansion.”

“Crown Prince, we have arrived!” It wasn’t that there was a girl in the crown prince’s carriage, but they also hoped that the crown prince would like a girl, but no matter how they looked at it, this girl didn’t suit the crown prince.

When Nangong Lian was in the carriage, she could tell that the woman outside was dissatisfied with her. These days, she had been doing her best not to leave her room in the crown prince’s mansion, but she was still disdained by the people in the mansion.

“Hey, tell me, if I really follow you, will your maids and stewards of the crown prince’s mansion kill me?!” In the past few days, she had discovered that this Prince Shang didn’t seem to be very good at laughing like her imperial brother. Therefore, she would occasionally provoke Prince Shang just like how she had provoked his imperial brother.

Shang Wuxin looked at Nangong Lian today, the girl opposite her smiled, wearing a purple wide-sleeved flowing immortal dress, with jingles around her, looking calm and composed, her eyes were bright, pretty yet dignified, like a colorful phoenix spreading its wings, if not for the words “prick” on her face, perhaps she would have been an extremely rare beauty, but in Shang Wuxin’s eyes, even though there were still words pricked on her face, she was still beautiful.

“You can try!” Shang Wuxin said to Nangong Lian, and sure enough, Nangong Lian’s face turned red. Even though Nangong Lian was older than him and usually treated him as an unscrupulous child, she was, after all, a woman. Thus, she still possessed a woman’s face.

Perhaps it was because she felt that her blushing was an extremely embarrassing thing to do, Nangong Lian raised her head to look at the increasingly beautiful youth. “Give it a try!”

“I don’t like you!” Shang Wuxin had directly exposed Nangong Lian’s original fighting spirit. She did not dare to say this because she knew that this woman had no interest in him. She was afraid that she had taken him as a close friend.

If anyone else said this, Nangong Lian would have thought that they were mocking the scars on her face. However, when Prince Shang said this, Nangong Lian knew that Prince Shang did not mean to humiliate her, so she did not feel uncomfortable. Nangong Lian took out her veil and followed behind Prince Shang. Her voice was filled with distress, “You really don’t know how to show mercy to a lady!” “If you meet your imperial brother one day, I will definitely make you all friends!”

Shang Wuxin did not mind, but she did not think that not long after, she would actually meet the Prince who, like herself, “did not know how to care for a lady”.

By the time Shang Wuxin arrived, almost everyone was already there. However, no one dared to say anything about the crown prince’s identity, no matter where the crown prince was, but the fact that Leng Yufeng, who caused Shang Wuxin’s surprise, was also present today was not only due to Shang Wuxin’s surprise. Even the young masters and mistresses who came to the First Prince’s Mansion today were taken aback. They thought that General Leng had sided with the First Prince, but no matter how General Leng sat there and didn’t say anything, they didn’t know that something was wrong.

“The Crown Prince has arrived!” The butler of the First Prince’s residence called out, causing everyone to stand up and bow.

However, when the crowd discovered that the purple robed girl was standing beside the crown prince, even though they couldn’t see her appearance clearly, they could tell that she was an extremely good girl from a noble family from her figure and temperament, their thoughts instantly became lively.

Leng Yufeng looked at the girl that appeared beside the crown prince and clenched his fist. He clearly knew that such a day would come yet such a situation had truly occurred. The only thought that remained in his mind was to kill this girl.

Leng Yufeng forced himself to look at the Crown Prince, but he discovered that the Crown Prince still didn’t have the slightest trace of tenderness in his eyes towards the girl beside him. Leng Yufeng relaxed and knew that this girl definitely wasn’t someone the Crown Prince liked, but he didn’t know whether or not she was the Crown Prince’s concubine. When she thought about the Crown Prince, who was also a man who needed something, Leng Yufeng’s neck reddened. She couldn’t imagine what kind of expression the cold Crown Prince would have if he had truly fallen in love with her.

Shang Wuxin and Nangong Lian sat beside Leng Yufeng, watching Leng Yufeng lost in thought. At this moment, Shang Wuxin had no idea that Leng Yufeng was fantasizing about herself.

“General Leng!” Shang Wuxin was the first to greet him. In her eyes, this young general was still a good person, and she would never forget how he had taken care of her and how he had protected her.

Perhaps he had just imagined the Crown Prince to be so emotional, so he avoided the Crown Prince’s gaze for a moment. However, he didn’t know that his neck was getting redder and redder, until he was about to blush.

Looking at the cold-feathered maple leaves, the heartless brother retracted his gaze and saw the grudge of a woman looking at him. He thought hard, this woman seemed to be the coquettish girl from the Sun Palace Banquet, and her expression now was as if he had abandoned her.

After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere became much more lively. Of course, Shang Wuxin did not want to drink, and only drank a few mouthfuls of tea. Fortunately, no one went up to persuade her to drink.

Just as Shang Wuxin was wondering why the conspiracy had yet to come, a man who drank heavily walked up to his table. Shang Wuxin knew that this man would always follow behind the First Prince, and was considered a lackey of Shang Chen’s.

“Congratulations to the Crown Prince for obtaining such a beautiful woman. May I know which family she belongs to?” The man asked with the help of alcohol, but Shang Wuxin knew that this was what Shang Chen wanted to know as well.

Shang Wuxin did not even raise her eyes, her voice was cold, “You are not worthy to know!” What Shang Wuxin said was the truth. After all, Nangong Lian was the princess of the Nangong Kingdom and the younger sister of the most powerful Nangong King. How could a small son of an official ask for the princess’ name?

His words caused the slightly drunk man’s face to turn white. He looked at the purple-clothed girl beside the crown prince with even more disgust. He then instructed the servant girl beside him, but no one noticed such details.

The man glanced at the Crown Prince, but before the Crown Prince could raise his eyes, he saw General Leng suddenly looking at him. At this moment, Leng Yufeng’s eyes were no longer cold and callous like before, but a terrifying primordial beast light. The man was scared out of his wits. He picked up his wine cup and returned to his seat with his tail between his legs.

At this moment, the female servant who was still serving the wine suddenly pulled away Nangong Lian’s veil. In an instant, everyone saw the scar on Nangong Lian’s cheek. Unsurprisingly, they heard the girl’s frightened cries and the man’s contemptuous laughter.

“Why is this woman so ugly?”

“This is so scary, this girl actually has the face to follow behind the crown prince. How shameless!”

“If I had a girl like her by my side, I wouldn’t even be able to eat. Could it be that the Crown Prince’s hobby is so strange?”

“Could it be that the Crown Prince still doesn’t know the true appearance of that woman?” “Really …”

Facing such undisguised mockery and disgust from the crowd, even though Nangong Lian had heard it a lot, she was still angry. If it was in the Nangong Kingdom, she could still kill these people. However, this was the country of Shang, so she did not have the right to do so.

Just as everyone was looking at Nangong Lian as if they were looking at a monster, Shang Wuxin’s servant girl pulled back the veil. The servant girl panicked when she saw how pale her hand was.
