Chapter 129 The Beauty of Ding General Manor

“What is it? Have I dazzled you with my handsomeness?” Feng Yuran turned around and blinked. He felt extremely pleased when he saw how she looked at him dazedly with a hint of craftiness in her eyes. His lips curled up and a charming and seductive smile bloomed on his face, dazzling everyone.

This person was really shameless! Mo Xuetong looked away and gave him the side-eye. She smiled lightly when she saw him raising his brows at her in a rather pleased manner. Then, she wrinkled her nose delicately and said, “Your Highness, your beauty is, of course, unparalleled in this world. And few would not fall for your beauty. Look at all the beautiful ladies around us who have been staring at you. It would not be weird even if I joined them!

Feng Yuran was stunned and he stared at Mo Xuetong with heated eyes. Then, he smiled devilishly and did not speak. Mo Xuetong had a bad feeling and wanted to back away subconsciously. However, he was holding her hands tightly in his. He tugged on her hand slightly and she lost her balance, stumbling slightly and fell into his embrace.

Mo Xuetong wanted to struggle but her hands were pressed tightly to her sides and he embraced her tightly. He hugged her to him closely as he spoke lazily and seductively in her ear, “Tong’er, they are not staring at me now. They are all looking at you.”

Indeed, the loving gazes that fell on Feng Yuran’s face had all turned into gazes of icy swords as they looked at Mo Xuetong’s face. Fortunately, she was wearing his coat and only her lively and intelligent eyes could be seen. She was startled by the enmity in the gazes of those around her and she grumbled to herself secretly. Why had she challenged him!

When had Feng Yuran ever done anything as expected?

“How is it now? Do you still think I am beautiful?” Feng Yuran’s brows relaxed slightly as he glanced casually at the girls staring at Mo Xuetong jealously. His lips curled up and his dark eyes glittered like gems.

Despite the layer of snow fox leather separating the two, Mo Xuetong could still sense the heated warmth of his breath at her ear. She breathed out and thought about how she could not move in his tight embrace and how he was speaking into her ear rather amorously. Mo Xuetong had always been intelligent and knew that the man was being petty and was intentionally seeking revenge for her description of his beauty.

Intelligent people would know what to do at the right time. She did not think it was right to annoy him at this time!

“Your Highness, you are a dragon amongst the people and you are a hero of the world. You are known to be handsome and elegant. I am uneducated and only wanted to praise you for your handsomeness but used the wrong words. I hope that you, a great man, will not harbor grievances against me.” Mo Xuetong was held tightly in his embrace. Against all the jealous and hateful glances, no matter how stubborn she was, she could only flatter him. Furthermore, Mo Xuetong was truly spineless. She smiled at Feng Yuran sweetly and praised him.

“It would be great if you had done this earlier. Look, it’s all your fault. My health is poor and you still get me to hug you. That’s too much.” Feng Yuran blinked innocently and slowly relaxed his arms. The girl seemed very stubborn but still said something so respectful. Feng Yuran’s mood was really good and turned his gaze to the stage benevolently. His eyes turned up with a charming smile. He had just bullied the girl and if he won her a gift, the girl would definitely feel grateful towards her!

His health was poor? And she wanted him to hug her? Mo Xuetong felt that she did have really good breeding for she had not gotten angry despite his shamelessness. She told herself that she had to have poise. Have poise. However, even so, she took a deep breath when she felt his hand which had been hugging her tightly loosen. She suddenly had an idea and was prepared to push him away. She would push him and he would stumble and fall. Didn’t he say that his health was poor?

Since his health was poor, how would he be able to keep his balance?

Between the two of them, one of them was paying attention to the stage while the other was paying attention to the other. They did not notice when a beautiful couple appeared beside them. The man wore a well-made long robe and a silver cape. He had a smile on his face and his eyes were elegant. He looked extremely handsome. The woman beside him was extremely beautiful and was very elegant and graceful. She wore a white dress dotted with red and her hair was pulled up into a high bun with a fashionable low ponytail. It complimented her skin and made it look like jade.

The two of them became the center of attention as they stood in the crowd. At the same, they saw Feng Yuran who stood out from the crowd with his charming and wild disposition and the very swollen bundle he was hugging tightly. They could only see that it was a woman. They glanced at her again but could not see her face clearly.

“Eighth Brother, why have you come out tonight? Didn’t you say that you were busy and wanted to invite beauties to sing and dance for you through the night?” Feng Yuxuan smiled and approached them. His face was filled with a faint and elegant smile as if he had forgotten that he had had been rejected without hesitation when he sent men to King Xuan’s place to ask if Feng Yuran wanted to come and walk around the night market together.

Feng Yuran had also spotted Feng Yuran. He released Mo Xuetong. Then, he held her hand and approached them with a laugh, not at all awkward about being caught. He said, not at all feeling conscious of himself, “The beauty is unwilling to sing and dance for me through the night in the manor so I can only bring her out to make her happy. I had coaxed and cajoled her earlier. Elder Brother, you are still more capable for you don’t have to coax and cajole your beauty for her to follow you out. You have to teach me in the future. I have only just got to the bustling and flourishing capital and really don’t know how to make beauties happy.”

No one would have expected him to speak so outrageously. He was treating the woman by Feng Yuxuan’s side as a courtesan who sang and danced on stage and made Feng Yuxuan out to be a playboy. The gentle smile on the woman beside Feng Yuxuan slipped and froze.

Mo Xuetong was wrapped up tightly in the coat and only her clear and beautiful eyes could be seen. No matter how carefully Feng Yuxuan looked at her, he would not be able to see clearly. Just before they approached Feng Yuran had even put on the hood on the cape over Mo Xuetong’s head. No matter how familiar Feng Yuxuan was with Mo Xuetong, he would not be able to recognize her like that. Furthermore, Mo Xuetong would say that she was not familiar with King Xuan at all!

She curtsied to Feng Yuxuan and then leaned against Feng Yuran like a timid and lovable woman. In fact, only the two of them knew that Feng Yuran was hugging her slender waist to him possessively. She would not be able to escape even if she wanted to. Of course, she did not struggle but only leaned against Feng Yuran. She could sense the coldness behind Feng Yuran’s smile. He was still smiling, but it lacked the warmth it had when he was smiling at her.

Mo Xuetong could sense the difference and as such, did not move and watched silently as the scene unfolded.

“Eighth Brother, you don’t know her yet, do you. She is the Second Miss of the Ding General Manor, Miss Ling Fengyan. Second Miss Ling, this is my eighth brother, the newly named King Xuan.” Feng Yuxuan retracted his gaze from Mo Xuetong and smiled as he introduced Ling Fengyan and Feng Yuran to each other.

“Second Miss of the Ding General Manor? The lady known to be the first beauty of the capital?” Feng Yuran asked with a smile. His eyes shone and he raised his brows lightly as he circled Ling Fengyuan while hugging Mo Xuetong.

Others might not have seen Ling Fengyan before, but he had. She was the girl on the first picture the Empress had sent to get him to choose a queen! He already knew that the Empress had put her on the first portrait intentionally. But he had not expected that she would go to look for Feng Yuxuan when she did not become his queen!

The Empress’ niece was really a hidden treasure!

She could become a King’s wife no matter who she picked!

However, it was expected for her to pick Feng Yuxuan. His Third Brother had always been a role model. But he doubted that he could remain lofty in his morals any longer!

Mo Xuetong was also watching Ling Fengyan. This was the most beautiful woman in the capital, the Second Miss of the Ding General Manor!

In her past life, she was King Chu’s Queen!

She was indeed very beautiful. She was charming just standing there. There were many young men who could not help but had their eyes drawn to her. If not for the elegant and noble Feng Yuxuan standing by her side, someone would have already tried to strike up a conversation with her.

Ling Fengyan’s reputation was very good. The arrogant Ling Mingyan could not be compared to her. She was not only beautiful, she was gracious and gentle, and also very talented. She was way better than Mo Xuemin. However, not many have ever seen Second Miss Ling. Even though she was known to be the most beautiful woman in the capital, she rarely appeared in public. She lived up to the name of a woman who did not step out of her room and was not well known in public.

In her past life, Ling Fengyan had come under the spotlight two days later at the Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet. She had played a song with Bai Yihe and won the approval of everyone in the world. Her beautiful appearance had gained the attention of everyone and then became known as the most beautiful woman of Qin. She had become famous from then on.

As such, Feng Yuran asked to marry Second Miss Ling not long after that. They had gotten married in a fanciful and luxurious ceremony.

“King Xuan, you flatter me. What most beautiful or not. It is just other people praising Fengyan, that’s all. There are as many fish in the river as beautiful women in this world. How could I be the most beautiful woman in the capital.” Ling Fengyan hid the coldness in her eyes. A warm and gentle smile appeared on her beautiful face, looking like a blossoming flower. Her humble speech and her gentle smile really gave others a favorable impression. Feng Yuxuan’s gaze softened as he looked at her.

“I am not flattering you. No matter how Second Miss Ling look, you are definitely the most beautiful woman to Elder Brother. Elder brother, since we have both brought beauties with us today, you would definitely think that Second Miss Ling is the most beautiful woman. I, of course, think that the woman in my embrace is the most beautiful. How about this, let’s have a competition for the most beautiful woman by our sides. We will see who would guess the most riddles. The lady of the team that guesses the most riddles would be the most beautiful woman. How about that?” Feng Yuran’s eye gleamed, directing the second part of his statement at Feng Yuxuan.

Mo Xuetong, who was held tightly in his arms pursed her lips secretly. The man was really mean. He just would not admit that Ling Fengyan was the most beautiful woman in the capital and wanted to drag her into it. Fortunately, she still owed him a lot, so she would help him out and not embarrass him. Anyway, she had not revealed her face and no one knew who she was. After this, neither Feng Yuxuan nor Ling Fengyan would be able to find her.
