Chapter 385: The listener making his own meaning from what he heard

Chen Ning’s heart skipped a beat and she looked down .  She did not say a thing as she took the melon from Chu Shao Yang and bit into it .

It was just sweet melon, but there was a trace of bitterness that came with it in her mouth .

Chu Shao Yang was pleasantly surprised, she actually didn’t reject him!

The eldest princess ate the melon while looking over the young girls on the side .  She shook her head and said, “This princess can’t tell at all .  None of these girls are worthy of being with my royal brother, they all only know how to act coquettishly, they have no courage at all!”

Ye Ting Xuan gave a rare laugh, “Eldest princess, this is to pick a wife for the emperor, not to pick a general to send onto the battlefield . ”

“But even if they are women, they should be straightforward, just like Ning’er .  She does not pretend to be someone else .  I can tell from these girls that my royal brother will not like a single one of them!”

“The Ding Yuan Princess is a married woman, so naturally she will be different compared to these girls .  Then again, even if the eldest princess does not like these girls, the emperor still might like them . ”  Ye Ting Xuan smiled and shook his head .

“This princess has grown up with the emperor .  If this princess likes something, my royal brother will like it .  If this princess does not like something, then my royal brother will not like it . ”  The eldest princess said in an assured tone .

Chu Shao Yang was listening the whole time .  He suddenly said, “Then according to royal aunt’s meaning, since you like Ning’er, then the emperor will also like Ning’er?”

The eldest princess spoke without thinking, “That’s natural of course .  If he didn’t, then why would he… . . Wu, Ting Xuan, what are you doing?”

Her mouth was suddenly blocked by a large piece of melon from Ye Ting Xuan .  

“Eldest princess, you’ve drank too much .  Eat some fruit and sober yourself up, you can’t embarrass yourself in front of the emperor and the Empress Dowager .  If you’re drunk, this husband won’t be able to carry you . ”  Ye Ting Xuan had a gentle smile on his face as he tried to change the topic .

“What a joke, this princess has only had a cup of wine, how could I be drunk!  You’re joking about how this princess is drink, then do you dare have a drinking contest with this princess?  If you become drunk, this princess will carry you back!”

“Alright, let’s compete then . ”

Ye Ting Xuan and the eldest princess began to drink cup after cup, not mention the word “emperor” anymore .

But Chu Shao Yang had already made his own meaning from the eldest princess’ words and those words were like a thorn that stabbed into his heart .

He looked up at the emperor on the dragon throne .  Mo Chuan was currently talking to the Empress Dowager .  It was unknown what they were talking about, but they were both smiling .  Mo Chuan did not even look over in their direction .

But he still felt like something was wrong .

The actions of his uncle, the emperor felt different compared to usual .

In particular when Chen Ning mentioned the matter of separation .  The emperor revealed no emotions at all, but Chu Shao Yang thought about it and found that there were some parts that were different compared to usual .

The emperor was always standing on her side, almost as if he was impatient to see them separate .

Why!

Chu Shao Yang raised the cup of wine in front of him and slowly moved it to his lips, but he did not take a sip .  There was a slight fragrance coming from the wine that entered into his nose .

He looked out of the corner of his eyes, looking over at her .  She was looking down, hiding those sparkling eyes, not caring about anything in the world .  She did not even look over at him once .

He had opened his heart and placed it in front of her, but she did not care about it at all .

Why!

When she went to see the emperor, she had been wearing a veil and that phoenix red robe, but when she returned, she had taken off her veil and was wearing a new begonia red robe instead .

Why!

Chu Shao Yang had countless questions in his heart and there was a single answer that was at the bottom of his heart, but he did not dare face it!

Impossible, it is definitely impossible!
