Chapter 147: You Guys Are Bullying Me Too Much!
"I'm sorry." Tian Yueling then looked at Jiang Xun and said, "I am very sorry for everything that happened today..."
It was just too embarrassing; she had finally met a handsome man, only to repeatedly...
"Eh, it's fine. It's normal for everyone to have some prejudices against our Lingerie-Sect, and there are even more regrettable things that haven't happened yet."
Jiang Xun laughed.
"More regrettable things?"
Tian Yueling was stunned upon hearing this.
When the first dish, Emerald Golden Silk Soup, was served, she understood.
"Radish stewed with cabbage!! What a profiteer!"
Xiao Qin widened her eyes and shouted.
Tian Yueling blushed so hard she wished she could bury herself under the table.
As a dignified Princess of the Tianyu Dynasty, she had invited someone to dinner, only to be served radish and cabbage.
Although Xiao Qin was at the Void Refining Initial Stage, she clearly did not know about the situation at Wangyue Pavilion.
"It seems this is the young lady's first time here. You might not know, this... eh?"
The waiter stopped mid-sentence when he saw Jiang Xun: "Guest, you... why have you come again? Didn't you just leave?"
"Is there only one waiter in this Wangyue Pavilion?"
Jiang Xun looked at the waiter helplessly.
"What a coincidence, isn't it?" the waiter laughed.
"Sigh." Jiang Xun sighed, then explained the radish and cabbage soup to the two of them.
Upon hearing this, the two finally understood and nodded.
"So it's used for buying information. What about the other dishes? Are they proper food?" Xiao Qin asked, looking at the waiter.
"The others?" The waiter was stunned for a moment, then said, "You ordered an Emerald Golden Silk Soup, a guzheng piece, a dance, and there is also an opera and shadow puppetry, which already started downstairs."
"Uh..." Xiao Qin's face couldn't help but twitch as she looked at Tian Yueling.
"Eh? Where is she?" She saw that Tian Yueling had disappeared at some point.
Jiang Xun reached out and pointed at the table.
While the waiter was talking just now, Tian Yueling had already been so mortified that she hugged Tuntun and crawled under the table.
"I'll order," Jiang Xun sighed, and ordered a few proper dishes.
The waiter left after taking note of them.
"I say, Princess, come on out." Jiang Xun lifted the tablecloth, leaned over, and said to Tian Yueling.
Tian Yueling also awkwardly crawled out and sat on her chair: "I'm sorry..."
"Don't be sorry. Do you want to watch the dance and shadow puppetry you ordered?" Jiang Xun laughed.
"Young Master, please don't tease me," Tian Yueling said with a flushed face.
"You two are in Tianling City, but it seems you don't know much about these things outside?"
Jiang Xun looked at the two and said.
"I have been in the palace since I was young and have never been out. Today is my first time leaving, so..."
Tian Yueling nodded gently.
"Xiao Qin has always been by my side, so she hasn't been out much either and doesn't understand the outside world."
"I see." Jiang Xun nodded: "I see it is almost late at night now, do you two not intend to return to the palace?"
After Jiang Xun finished speaking, Tian Yueling's face was no longer red; she sighed deeply with a sorrowful expression: "My father the Emperor wants to..."
"Princess!" Xiao Qin hurriedly stopped Tian Yueling.
"It's fine." Tian Yueling shook her head: "My father the Emperor wants to marry me off to the Second Prince of the Canghe Dynasty to form an alliance, which is why I snuck out with Xiao Qin."
"I see." Jiang Xun nodded: "You don't like him?"
"How can I like someone I've never even met?" Tian Yueling nodded.
"I heard that the Second Prince of the Canghe Dynasty has been cultivating on Tianwai Island for years and is now at the Void Refining Late Stage. His lifespan is so long, and the Princess is not skilled in cultivation; if you really marry him, you will only end up as a tool to maintain the relationship between the two countries for decades."
Xiao Qin also sighed.
"And that Second Prince is also very old," Tian Yueling added casually.
"Then what do you plan to do? Just run away?" Jiang Xun nodded and asked.
"Of course! We were about to run out of the city, but Tuntun, this little fellow, suddenly ran off, so we've been looking for it."
Tian Yueling nodded.
"You won't be able to run away," Jiang Xun laughed.
"Why?" Tian Yueling and Xiao Qin asked at the same time.
"You've already run to Wangyue Pavilion; your father must already know your location. I estimate that before you finish your meal, the people coming to catch you will arrive."
"Then, then I'll have Xiao Qin deal with them!" Tian Yueling thought for a moment, then looked at Xiao Qin.
"Leave it to me, Princess!" Xiao Qin nodded heavily.
"Are you foolish..." Jiang Xun said helplessly: "They know there is a Void Refining Initial Stage expert by your side, so how could they not send someone stronger than her? If she doesn't resist, it's fine, but if she resists—you are a Princess, but she is not; she will be the one to suffer then."
"Uh..." Tian Yueling was speechless upon hearing this; Jiang Xun made sense!
"Listen to me, finish this meal, go back obediently, and prepare for the wedding," Jiang Xun said.
"No! I will never marry that Cang Xingyu!" Tian Yueling slapped the table: "If my father the Emperor really forces me to go to the Canghe Dynasty, I, I will die to show him!"
"Die to show whom?"
Just as Tian Yueling finished speaking, a man's voice came.
A man dressed in a black-gold brocade robe walked in from outside; he was heroic-looking, tall, and sturdy, appearing to be quite formidable.
Upon seeing this person, Tian Yueling was as frightened as a little kitten and hurriedly hid behind Xiao Qin.
The man entered, glanced at Jiang Xun, said nothing, and then looked at Tian Yueling: "Yueling, you are no longer a child; you must listen to Father Emperor's words."
"Royal Brother, how can you also take Father Emperor's side!" Tian Yueling said, looking at the man.
'Oh~ so it's her brother.' Jiang Xun sat to one side, took a sip of tea, and looked as if he were prepared to watch a show.
This man was named Tian Mingjue, and he was the Eighth Prince of the Tianyu Dynasty.
"Did Father Emperor send you to capture me?"
"I have been in the room next door and have been listening to you for a long time." Tian Mingjue shook his head: "This Hehuan Young Master is right; you cannot run away, and besides, you are an adult now and must pay the corresponding price for your actions. If Xiao Qin tries to stop it, she will not survive."
"I am not afraid of death; I will risk my life to send the Princess away," Xiao Qin said, looking at Tian Mingjue.
"Who cares about your life?" Tian Mingjue looked at Xiao Qin, his tone instantly turning cold.
Seeing this, Xiao Qin was also chilled to the bone and dared not speak again.
"Royal Brother, you are not allowed to speak to Xiao Qin like that!" Seeing this, Tian Yueling immediately blocked Xiao Qin again and shouted.
"Your Second Brother is downstairs right now; he will come up after he finishes watching the shadow play you ordered." Tian Mingjue couldn't help but feel amused when mentioning this shadow play, and he almost couldn't hold back a laugh: "Will you come back with me yourself, or wait for your Second Brother to come up and forcibly drag you back? You know what his temper is like."
"I... I... you are all bullying me too much!" Tian Yueling was furious to the point of death.
