Chapter 248: I’ve Been a Little Crazy Lately
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The host of the royal garden was the Huangfu family, and there were also princes and princesses attending the Peony Banquet.
However, Huangfu Lingyao was not the host.
The only person who came with him was the coachman, Li Xin. Liu Shimei did not recognize Li Xin. She thought that Li Xin was just a coachman sent by the Prince’s Residence to Huangfu Lingyao. She did not trust him, so she let Lu Ying do everything.
Lu Ying had just arrived and did not understand the rules of the royal family, so she also went to get a token for Huangfu Lingyao and was assigned to the most remote Cold Fragrance Waterside Pavilion.
Thus, the Huangfu clansmen all lived in the palace in the Spring Garden, except for King Dun Yu.
While Lu Ying was busy, Huangfu Lingyao sat in the pavilion, throwing handfuls of fish feed into the lake to feed the fish. He was bored.
Li Xin came over and said in a low voice, “Master, the palace…”
Huangfu Lingyao threw the last bit of fish feed into the lake and waved his hand in boredom. “What does the palace have to do with me? I wonder… how my wife is doing?”
Li Xin was speechless.
He paused for a moment before saying, “1 think that I’ve been a little crazy recently.”
He kept talking about Liu Shimei!
Huangfu Lingyao glanced at him, raised his long legs and placed them flat on the railing. His back was leaning against the red pillars of the corridor. He stared at the koi fish in the lake that had finished fighting for food and were no longer huddled together. Suddenly, he smiled.
He pointed at Li Xin with his index finger and admitted, “That’s right, I’m possessed.”
He was just waiting for the banquet to start so that he could have dinner with her.
What was even more devilish was that his heart was always restless and eager to get close to her–eager to take her to bed!
“Well, she’s future Princess Consort. It was only natural that Your Highness cared about her,” Li Xin comforted him and said. “Just now, this subordinate heard that the Crown Prince has already arrived and moved into the palace. Presumably, the banquet would begin soon.”
At the mention of the word ‘Crown Prince’, Huangfu Lingyao’s expression instantly changed from boredom to a deep one.
His exquisite eyebrows were enchanting, but his cold eyes were sinister!
His voice was low and cold. “Four women are enough for him to deal with. Arrange for your subordinates to be more careful. Don’t let those blind things disturb my wife.”
Li Xin shook his head helplessly. His master really cared about this unwed princess. But in the beginning, he did not think so!
At this moment, Lu Ying came out of his room and saw that Li Xin, who was dressed as a coachman, was standing very close to Huangfu Lingyao. He quickly walked over and said, “Li Xin, you are just a coachman. Why aren’t you busy washing the horses and disturbing His Highness here?”
Li Xin was speechless.
Forget it, forget it. This was all the future consort’s arrangement. If His Highness wanted to play with the Princess, he had no choice but to accompany His Highness!
“I’ll go brush the horses first,” he said honestly.
After chasing Li Xin away, Lu Ying turned around and said to Huangfu Lingyao, “King Dun Yu, there’s a servant outside reporting that the banquet is about to begin. Do you need to change your clothes now?”
His tone was light and respectful, a hundred times more so than when he spoke to Li Xin!
The master respected Silly Second Prince, so his subordinates naturally took Huangfu Lingyao seriously.
When Huangfu Lingyao saw Lu Ying come out, he had already restrained his expression and changed into the usual Silly Second Prince. He opened his beautiful eyes and asked, “Lu Ying, why are you so fierce to Li Xin?”
Lu Ying pursed his lips. “Eldest Young Miss said that the people from the Prince’s Residence might not be reliable. She told me to be more cautious and not let His Highness get hurt!”
Huangfu Lingyao was speechless.
I have a wife that worries about me!
His hand fell down and grabbed the jade pendant on his waist. He played with it in his hand, and his thin lips curled up. His face was filled with joy as he said, “I’m not changing my clothes. I’m going to find my wife!”
A fool attending a banquet…. There is no need for a fool to change his clothes!
