Chapter 186: Let the Crown Prince Play With His Fiancee
Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huangfu He was a person who looked as modest as jade.
A gentleman dressed properly. Compared to King Dun Yu, who would mess up his clothes every now and then and never care about his appearance, this Crown Prince was simply an orchid and jade tree, handsome and elegant!
The two brothers were both very good-looking. Or rather, Huangfu Lingyao was more exquisite, while Huangfu He’s facial features were more defined. In terms of bearing, Silly Second Prince obviously did not have any imposing manner to speak of.
In the palace, etiquette cannot be abandoned.
When he saw Huangfu He, Huangfu Lingyao’s expression turned ugly. However, Liu Shimei could not pretend that she did not see anything. She took a step forward and bowed. “Shimei greets Your Highness the Crown Prince!”
Of course, Huangfu He had seen Liu Shimei long ago. He heard that Liu Shimei had entered the palace for a short stay and was placed in the Ruyi Palace of the West Palace by the Empress, so he came over in the name of paying his respects to the Empress, hoping to see her.
At this moment, he saw Liu Shimei, but Huangfu Lingyao was there as well!
“No need for formalities.”
No matter how unwilling he was, she was still his future sister-in-law. In private, he could speak his mind. However, in the palace, as the Crown Prince, Huangfu He could not be ignorant of etiquette.
He smiled at Huangfu Lingyao and said, “I heard from Father that Second Brother wants to let Lady Liu go to the Imperial Beast Garden to see the tiger…” “It has a name, Big Cat! What tiger?!” Huangfu Lingyao was obviously still holding a grudge against Huangfu He for what had happened last time.
Huangfu He was not angry. He smiled and said, “Alright, Big Cat it is.”
He looked at Liu Shimei again and saw that she was still looking down without saying a word. He said, “However, Second Brother, Big Cat is familiar with you, so it is close to you. However, it is not something that anyone can approach. Eldest Miss Liu was born into a scholarly family. She might be frigtened by Big Cat.”
Liu Shimei knew that Huangfu Lingyao was very concerned about the original Host and the Crown Prince, so she remained silent.
She could not blame Huangfu He for saying that. In her memory, the Host did not like small animals. She did not even know how to ride a horse. Every time she was invited into the palace, she never went near the Imperial Beast Garden.
And Huangfu Lingyao actually wanted to bring such a weak young lady to play with tigers… It was indeed not suitable!
Of course, who would have known that Liu Shimei had already changed her tune!?
Huangfu He was worried that Liu Shimei would be frightened out of concern for her, but Huangfu Lingyao did not think so. He said angrily, “If Big Cat is good to me, it will definitely be good to Wife! Whether Wife will be frightened or not, 1 will care. It has nothing to do with Brother Crown Prince. Don’t be a busybody!”
Liu Shimei was speechless.
Mm… It was good to be a fool. He could say whatever he wanted. If you get serious with him, you’ll lose!
After so many years, Huangfu He was naturally used to what kind of person this Second Brother of his was. He did not get angry and looked at Liu Shimei again. “Eldest Young Lady Liu, do you need Imperial Mother to send a few more people to accompany you?”
In the end, he was still worried that Liu Shimei would be afraid of tigers. Even if they were reared in captivity, they were still ferocious beasts!
In order to avoid suspicion, he did not say that he had sent someone to accompany her, but in the name of the Empress.
“Wife, ignore him!” Huangfu Lingyao’s expression turned even uglier when he saw that he was talking to Liu Shimei seriously. He pulled Liu Shimei away and said, “Hmph, Brother has a fiancee yourself. Can’t you go and play with your fiancee? Why are you talking to my wife?”
Huangfu Lingyao kept muttering.
But the logic was not bad!
Liu Shimei did not want to talk to Huangfu He, so he let Huangfu Lingyao drag her away.
Huangfu He watched them leave in a hurry. He stared at Liu Shimei in silence, and his face slowly became expressionless.
They did not notice that a beautiful red figure flashed past the corner of the palace road!
