Chapter 204.2 - Not begging him
But when he walked past the fake mountain, his brows suddenly furrowed.
Before Lou Qingwu could discover something was wrong, he had already suddenly appeared before her and Lan Bai.
His dark eyes locked onto Lou Qingwu, calm and still but also somewhat frightening.
He pushed against the wall to the side of Lou Qingwu’s face, his pale face looking as if he was about to faint at any moment now, but his aura was still oppressive.
Lou Qingwu’s brows furrowed.
“Who are you?” His cold voice sounded next to her ear, it made her feel uncomfortable.
“I am the left prime minister’s daughter, Lou Qingwu.” Lou Qingwu only froze for a moment before regaining her composure.
When she looked at him, her face was composed, “I accidentally overheard your conversation, we were only passing by.”
“Yes, we were just passing by.” Lan Bai quickly added, wanting to step in front of Lou Qingwu.
But Shu Yunyan’s position was too tricky, he wasn’t too close to Lou Qingwu but he wasn’t far away enough for her to slide in.
Lan Bai’s heart started to get anxious, but Lou Qingwu hadn’t said anything so she could only hold it in.
Shu Yunyan’s eyes were still on Lou Qingwu, like the way a poisonous snake would eye its prey.
His eyes swept her up and down before locking in on her eyes, as if considering how truthful she was.
After a while, he finally let go, slowly patting himself down and loosening his sleeves, “So, it’s the Countess of Rende, I don’t know if, you heard anything?” He swept his eyes at her coldly.
Lou Qingwu shook her head, “No, we only just arrived. We didn’t hear anything.”
“Oh, then that’s good.” He took one last look at her, “I hope the Countess of Rende will remember today’s words.”
“That is … of course,” Lou Qingwu lowered her eyes.
“That is … of course,” Lou Qingwu lowered her eyes.
From Shu Yunyan’s angle, it looked as if she was a bit afraid which made him satisfied.
He slightly nodded his head before turning around to leave emotionlessly.
Once he left, Lan Bai let out a sigh of relief, “Master, who was he? He looked really heartless.”
“Xiliang country’s youngest prime minister in a hundred years. His Shu family has a long line of prime ministers and when it came to his generation, he’s the most outstanding. He’s vicious, his person is cold and heartless but his personality is also very extreme. If you see him, it’s best if you avoid him, don’t let him catch you doing anything.”
“Yes.” Lan Bai seriously answered.
Then they left towards the imperial gardens.
Lou Qingwu fell into deep thought. Xiliang Mubai and Shu Yunyan’s words were still echoing in her ears.
She only had to think for a bit before she understood what they meant.
This time, Xiliang country was here for a marriage alliance with Dongyu country, and they brought their third princess.
At the same time, for Dongyu country to show their sincerity, they would also send over a countess or a princess.
It seems like this time, their prince was the 5th prince, so it was no wonder why she hadn’t heard anything, he’d already arrived earlier in Dongyu country.
It seems like he was here to stop Shu Yunyan and change his marriage partner, but who knew that Shu Yunyan wouldn’t give him face.
Thinking to here, Lou Qingwu and Lan Bai arrived outside of the imperial gardens, and quickly found seats in a lowkey manner.
Almost instantly, she felt a hot gaze on her and she followed that gaze to meet Xiahou Qing’s eyes.
Her heart slightly moved as she met him eyes and then quickly looked away.
Xiahou Qing froze before he felt it was a bit pitiful, it seemed like he’d really hurt her heart this time.
The two people’s movements accidentally fell into the eyes of another person.
That person’s pale face had a deep look on them, his cold eyes moving around before looking at Lou Qingwu again.
Lou Qingwu had always been quite acute so she felt his gaze quite quickly.
She lifted up a cup to her lips as she met his eyes, her brows furrowing.

TL note:
Palace games are coming up.
Leave a comment and follow for a first glance at the new princess, Xiliang Feiyue xx
Hmm... That didn't go so badly, though... hmm. I wonder if Mubai is the one who's attention was caught and he's going to mess with Xiahou Qing (and hence LQW) now?
ReplyDeleteHopefully not. ~_~;
Mubai is dumb, his sister makes more of an impact (and Shu Yunyan plays a sort of important role later) ๐๐
DeleteThank you for the update and your continuous efforts to bring them out regularly! ��☺️
ReplyDeleteThanks for continuing to read them ๐๐
Deletethank you for the update.
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to see what political games will be played. If LWQ lands in the hands of Mubai, Xiahou Qing will be upset. It would be interesting to see what he says to avoid her falling into Mubai's hands.
LQW is super sly, she won't end up in anyone's hands unless she plans for it (mostly) ๐๐
DeleteMy guess lies between the prime minister Shu Yunyan and the 3rd princess Xiliang Feiyue.
ReplyDeleteBut I have a feeling it was Shu Yunyan because of the "pale face and cold eyes".
Maybe because of the incident earlier that he is keeping an eye on our LQW.
Not excited meeting that princess though, feels like another headache. (・´ะท`・)
Thanks for the chapter~!
Shu Yunyan does fit that explanation ๐คต๐คต
DeleteForeign princesses are always horrible but this one is harmless, mostly ๐๐
Wait, could the emperor bestowing LQW a Countess title be related to foreign alliances??
ReplyDeleteMaybe ๐๐
