When the quilt fell to the ground, Xiao Yichen was met with Ji Lingxue's silly smile as he watched the onlookers.
There were three rounds of applause, followed by silly cheers. "The quilt is flying! Haha, this is really fun, but... Your Highness, isn't your quilt meant for covering yourself? Your Highness, why do you look so pale? Are you sick? Do you want me to call a doctor for you? Why don't you guys continue? I'm still waiting to see the show..."
"Ji... Ling... Xue..." Xiao Yichen gritted his teeth and roared. The red gauze in the room fluttered in the air due to his cold aura.
"Prince, please continue... Your foreplay just now was too long. A night of spring is worth a thousand gold. It's almost three o'clock now. Don't make your sister wait too anxiously! Your sister is jealous. Am I too hungry? I have eaten all the cakes and I won't share them with you." Ji Lingxue said as she hugged the plate of cakes in her arms, as if she was worried that some prince would snatch her cakes.
Xiao Yichen was speechless. He crossed his arms over his chest and continued to look at Ji Lingxue coldly, completely ignoring Ji Yuqing whose face was turning green and red behind him.
Ji Lingxue continued to eat, sweeping up the fruits and snacks on the table like a whirlwind, and continued to comment: "This cake looks good, but it's too sweet. I don't like it. Why are there only peanuts and longans? Why is there no pineapple cake that I like... Eh? Your Majesty, don't worry about me. You guys continue. I won't disturb you from doing your business. Your Majesty, a night of love is worth a thousand gold."
The veins on Xiao Yichen's forehead were throbbing. Was he being lectured by a fool? Why hadn't he realized before that Ji Lingxue, this fool, was very knowledgeable about that and that, and she spoke without blushing or breathing hard.
Ji Yuqing's face turned even paler. She looked at Ji Lingxue with a complicated expression. She subconsciously held Xiao Yichen's hand, trying to find some warmth. "Your Highness... let me go out first..."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yichen had already stood up, pulled his hand away and walked towards Ji Lingxue. Then he grabbed Ji Lingxue's collar and dragged her out with disgust.
The wind blew in from the open door. Ji Yuqing's tears rolled down her cheeks. She uttered word by word, "Ji Lingxue..." Her fingers tightly grasped the quilt, wrinkling it into a ball.
A quarter of an hour passed...
Two quarters of an hour later...
Half an hour passed...
Ji Yuqing sat on the bed but still didn't wait for Xiao Yichen. She turned her head and watched the candle on the windowsill gradually burn out, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes...
Ji Lingxue, who was dragged out of the door, grabbed the melon seeds and threw them at the man's neck, "Let me go, let me go..."
Xiao Yichen raised his hand, and his sleeves spun in the air, putting all the melon seeds into his sleeves. He sneered and glared at Ji Lingxue, "Ji Lingxue, stop acting crazy and stupid in front of me. I might consider being gentler in your punishment later."
Ji Lingxue looked up at the stars moving in the sky and said innocently, "It was you, Prince Chen, who wanted to keep me here to watch the show. I was just expressing my personal thoughts and I didn't do anything wrong. Why are you punishing me?"
Didn't do anything wrong? Xiao Yichen was so angry that he laughed. He dragged Ji Lingxue to an open space and threw her to the ground. Seeing her fall in a mess, he wiped his hands with a handkerchief in disgust and said, "You kneel here tonight and wait until dawn. When Yuqing gets up, you apologize to her."
Ji Lingxue sat on the ground, rolled up her trouser legs to check the wound. A glaring red flashed in the whiteness, which caught Xiao Yichen's eyes. He curled his lips and said, "A fool is a fool, so rash."
The rage in his heart was suppressed a lot by the scene before him. He walked to Ji Lingxue, squatted down and checked her wound. Although he disliked this silly woman, he couldn't stand the sight of blood. Yu Qing was right. Today was a wedding day and it was not appropriate to see blood.
"Princess, Princess!" An anxious voice cut through the darkness and reached their ears. Ji Lingxue looked up and saw a maid in green holding a lantern and running towards them in a panic.
