The Captivating Crown Prince-Chapter 316
Chapter 316
As the melodious sound of the zither rang out, everyone turned to look only to see a veiled woman sitting in the middle of the hall. This woman was the third princess of the Mist Country.
The third princess of Mist Country was wearing a light green jacket with smooth cut and tight design, which added a mature charm to her budding figure. Her pair of eyes could clearly see the pure and pure temperament of the third princess, making her look like a lady from a noble family, elegant and refined. Even though he had not seen her true appearance, he could tell that she was an extraordinary woman.
When the third princess was playing the zither, she looked straight at Shang Wuxin, but shyly withdrew her gaze when Shang didn’t have the heart to look.
The Third Princess had resisted when she was preparing to go to the Shang Country to marry into the marriage alliance under the orders of her Imperial Father. No matter how handsome and handsome Prince Shang was, it was still a rumor outside. Therefore, at the banquet to welcome Prince Shang, she knew that she was going to perform. She was supposed to be good at music and calligraphy, but she chose an unremarkable zither instead. She didn’t expect to actually see Prince Shang act so elegantly.
The Third Princess really wanted to marry this Prince Shang. With her status, even if she wasn’t the Crown Prince’s consort, she would still be the Crown Prince’s side concubine. As for the rumors, when she saw the Crown Prince Shang in person, the Third Princess believed that he must have been jealous of the fact that Prince Shang had made something out of nothing.
At the end of the song, the third princess took out her veil and revealed a pretty face. Although it couldn’t be considered a beauty that could topple empires, it was still considered a pretty face. Perhaps this wasn’t the most beautiful face in the world, but it still made people feel that it was dazzling in front of their eyes.
“Haha!” “This is my third daughter!” How could the Mist Emperor not know what his daughter was thinking when he saw the expression on her face? However, Prince Shang was indeed a rarely seen handsome man. If his daughter married to Prince Shang, the bond between the two countries would increase.
Shang carelessly nodded his head, and then looked at Whitey who was lying on the table. She was not a real man, so even the prettiest girl in his eyes had no interest in her. It would be better to watch Whitey performing with all its might. At this moment, Lil ‘White had been doing something and completely revealed how Han Xuanhao had mistreated it. Unfortunately, it had complained for so long, but its master was not angry at all.
The Mist Emperor looked at Shang Wuxin’s indifferent expression and knew that his daughter really did not attract Prince Shang’s attention. He felt that it was a pity and the way he looked at his daughter turned cold. To the Mist Emperor, these princesses were nothing more than pawns.
The third princess didn’t think that she was inferior to an animal. She knew that when her seventh brother had just returned to the palace, he had seen how handsome his seventh brother was and also had the favor of his royal father. The third princess had also extended an olive branch to Hanxuan Hao, but unfortunately, other than showing an expression to his little pet, Hanxuan Hao didn’t think much about his royal sister at all.
“Isn’t this Seventh Brother’s pet? Hearing that this pet is so cruel, Prince Shang decided to be more careful! ” The Third Princess approached Shang Wuxin and reminded her with a kind smile, ignoring Nangong Qian and Han Xuanhao’s dissatisfied gazes.
Shang carelessly stretched out his hand to pinch Whitey’s claw. Hmm, its fingernails seem to have been unfixed for a long time. Looking at them, it still looked quite frightening. Shang was not in the mood to laugh, “Ah?” “So this little thing is actually this amazing. I like it even more!”
The Third Princess’ face stiffened, and then she smiled gently, “With Prince Shang’s ability, this little pet is very obedient in front of Prince Shang! This princess also really likes this little pet! ” As she spoke, she prepared to sit next to Shang. Although this approach could not be called a lady of a noble family, the third princess was originally a princess of a country, so there was nothing wrong with sitting next to Shang.
Before Nangong Qian made a move, Han Xuanhao, who was originally sitting down, suddenly stood up. Han Xuanhao, who wore a red robe, stood up and it was enough to attract everyone’s attention. Han Xuanhao strode past the third princess and gave her a disdainful look.
“This noob can be taken care of, but since Prince Shang likes it, let me sit beside him!” As he spoke, Han Xuanhao sat down on a seat below Shang Wuxin. This way, he would have Nangong Qian and Han Xuanhao sitting on either side of him.
The Mist Emperor looked at the prince without the slightest trace of etiquette, his eyes flashing with dissatisfaction. However, he still nodded with a smile. The third princess looked at Han Xuanhao with extreme anger before sitting in the princess position. However, her heart began to beat with excitement.
With the Royal Princess’ opening performance, the rest of the performance began with the ladies of the noble families. With the Royal Princess’ opening performance, the rest of the performance began with the ladies of the noble families.
“My daughter dances for a bit. I wonder if Seventh Prince can play a song for my daughter?” A woman stood forward and said to Han Xuanhao with a smile. Although she was very afraid of this Seventh Prince’s methods, she had to admit that he was too beautiful, even more beautiful than a woman.
Han Xuanhao’s hand, which was under the table, was playing around happily with Shang Wuxin’s hand, but who would have thought that something like this would actually happen? Han Xuanhao was instantly displeased, and his eyes narrowed into a cold expression, “Who do you think you are to dare to let this sovereign accompany you?”
She clearly knew that her request might lead to such an outcome, but she still felt very sad and refused to admit defeat. “My status is indeed not comparable to the Seventh Prince’s, but I am willing to become that green leaf!”
Han Xuanhao felt that this woman was truly annoying. Even when he had rejected her offer, she was still blabbering on and on. If Shang had misunderstood her, he would definitely have killed her. However, he didn’t expect Shang to pull his hand away from Han Xuanhao’s hand under the table. This made Han Xuanhao a little nervous.
“Since you know yet you’re still blabbering on, you really don’t know how to behave!” Shang Wuxin did not seem to intend to say it like that, and Little White could also feel that its master was in a bad mood. The person who made its master in a bad mood was the ugly guy standing there, so Little White suddenly jumped down from the table and walked towards the woman. After all, Little White’s reputation had spread throughout the royal palace of the Mist Country. It valued its looks more than its beloved girl.
Just as Xiao Bai was about to get close to the woman, the woman collapsed onto the floor of the hall in fear. Xiao Bai was about to reach the woman, the woman was already lying on the floor of the hall in fear.
The following performances were much more orderly. Although there were a lot of people who secretly sent off the show, no one dared to speak out and seduce the others. The third princess was looking at Shang Wuxin, whose elegant words and actions were filled with a noble air, and her heart was filled with greed.
Halfway through the banquet, the Mist Emperor smiled and said, “The State of Shang and the State of Mist have always been on good terms. My third daughter is my favorite princess. Now that I have met Prince Shang, if I can get married, the relationship between the State of Shang and the State of Mist will be even stronger!” Even though Shang didn’t have the heart to dislike this woman, marrying the third princess was the best way, because the relationship between countries relied on this kind of ridiculous relationship.
Shang Bin looked at the Third Princess, but she only looked at her casually. Of course, she had no intention of actually marrying the Third Princess back to the Mansion. Of course, Nangong Qian knew Shang Wuxin would not marry such a vase back to the crown prince’s mansion. Moreover, Shang Wuxin’s identity as a woman would not allow such a person to stay in his mansion, so Nangong Qian was not worried.
Nangong Qian’s calmness did not mean that Han Xuanhao was acting in the same manner. Although he knew that this woman could not threaten his position, but if this woman was in the crown prince’s residence, would she be insulting him from time to time? As the main palace, Han Xuanhao could not tolerate such a thing happening no matter what.
Han Xuanhao suddenly looked at Shang Wuxin, who was sitting beside him. The expression in his eyes was definitely filled with love. Of course, these two were men, so the entire hall was shocked speechless by Han Xuanhao’s gaze.
“I heard that Prince Shang really likes beautiful men?” Han Xuanhao intentionally threw a coquettish glance at Shang Wuxin, who was frightened to the point of goosebumps instead of getting electrocuted. Even Nangong Qian, who was sitting there, could not avoid it and almost dropped his wine cup. However, Han Xuanhao’s playful jest made Nangong feel much more comfortable looking at Han Xuanhao’s sissy appearance.
Shang unintentionally gave Han Xuanhao a kick to calm him down, but Han Xuanhao didn’t seem to care at all. He looked at the Mist emperor and said, “This sovereign feels that I’m much more beautiful than the third princess. If we’re going to be engaged, why not let this sovereign go!”
Han Xuanhao had thought of a brilliant idea and felt that it was a divine stroke. If he was standing next to Shang Bin, even if he would suffer from a lot of gossip, he would still be the only one to stand by his side. Even the rumored Huanmo Che would need to step back a bit.
“Ridiculous!” These were not the words of the Mist Emperor, but the ministers of the nation. In their eyes, having a man be a man with broken sleeves was already something intolerable, but the king of their country actually had to rely on a man? How could they allow such a thing to happen?
In truth, he didn’t have any feelings for his son. If it wasn’t for the fact that the Mist emperor had given him face, he would have given this unruly son of his to someone else, but right now, all he could say was, “Seventh prince, don’t mess around!”
Han Xuan Hao was about to say something, but he saw Nangong Qian look at him with a look. Although he was unhappy, he knew that this was not the time for him to act willfully.
Many of them would occasionally look at Han Xuanhao, who seemed to be trying to curry favor with Prince Shang. Watching Han Xuanhao pour wine for Shang and peel fruits for Shang, the crowd would finally remember why this Seventh Prince never allowed a woman to get close to him. However, since Prince Shang was a man and a woman, everyone felt that even Han Xuanhao would not end up well with Prince Shang, and it was a pity for the crowd.
“It’s getting late tonight. Prince Shang and Prince Qian are resting in the palace!” At the end of the banquet, the Mist Emperor invited him, but deep in his eyes was a hint of scheming.
