First Prince saw Hua Qiyue eating black pearl grape attentively and frowned, thinking, "Shouldn't Hua Qiyue send me the sachet I like?"
After all, he was First Prince and before Hua Qiyue came, many ladies also sent him tokens secretly, such as handkerchief, sachet, pouch and so on, some ladies sent him belts.
Those must be tokens of love.
If First Prince liked one of these ladies, he could give a gift in return, and the lady who received the gift would be First Prince's concubine or his official wife.
However, Huangfu Changyu had no feeling for these ladies. Nowadays, these ladies was inwardly jealous of Hua Qiyue when they saw that First Prince was so good to her.
Hua Qiyue had no reaction after eating several grapes, which disappointed First Prince. At the same time, dancers entered the boat and started to dance in the center of the boat.
Huangfu Changyu had never been ignored like this. He loved and hated Hua Qiyue's calmness but he couldn't say anything, only to continue to hand the desserts to her which were only enjoyed by the royal family.
But Hua Qiyue said that she had been stuffed and used it as an excuse to refused First Prince. First Prince looked terrible, but he immdiately became happy again, after all, he was First Prince.
Hua Qiyue sat there calmly and watching dancers dancing. Her white hands, her neck that was as graceful as a swan's and her pretty face that would eclipse other ladies attracted First Prince's eyes very much.
Looking at Hua Qiyue, First Prince reacted and wanted her so much. Out of impulse, First Prince Huangfu Changyu decided to take Hua Qiyue as his official wife!
Even if his parents wouldn't agree, he still intended to do so because he didn't like being controlled by others.
Changlong Emperor once disliked him very much because of this.
However, First Prince thought that his marriage should be decided by himself because his position of First Prince had been stable. Besides, it would be also good to take Hua Qiyue as his concubine if Changlong Emperor strongly disagree with this marriage.
"Qiyue, I have a gift for you," First Prince gently smiled and said. The surrounded ladies immediately looked at Hua Qiyue surprisingly when they heard First Prince's words.
Their looks were as sharp as poisonous arrows as if these ladies wanted to impale Hua Qiyue at once.
Hua Qiyue smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, I won't take it without pains."
First Prince thought that Hua Qiyue was being polite and in her heart, she must look forward to something. At the thought of this, First Prince hurriedly asked Xiao Zhouzi to fetch the prepared gift.
Xiao Zhouzi carefully took out a red box from a case aside. There drew dragon and phoenix on the box which was of great royal lordliness.
Hua Qiyue calmly looked at Xiao Zhouzi who opened the box and handed it to First Prince.
First Prince took it and handed the box to Hua Qiyue, saying, "This Green Jade of Blood is the gift I want to give you!"
Hearing this, everyone was in silence.
In this moment, dancers had already left and everyone was looking at Hua Qiyue, seeing her reaction.
First Prince stared at Hua Qiyue tenderly with a sweet look which wasn't faked. But from Yun s.h.i.+mo, that look seemed that First Prince intended to eat Hua Qiyue.
Hua Mengs.h.i.+ and Hua Xiaoyi stared at Hua Qiyue closely and were afraid that they missed every action of Hua Qiyue. Hua Xiaoyi clenched his fists in anger and her long nail wraps stabbed to her palms. A sharp hurt made her cool down and Hua Xiaoyi didn't show her strong resentment on her face.
Huangfu Xuan's face was pale and he sat there as motionless as a wood.
Huangfu Shenglin calmly sipped his wine and pretended that he didn't see what had happened.
Yun s.h.i.+mo squinted. His fingers were beating on the desk over and over again, making clear sounds.
Somehow, there was a moment that Yun s.h.i.+mo became nervous and he was afraid that Hua Qiyue received the gift.
Once she received the gift, it meant that she would become First Prince's woman. No matter she would be First Prince's concubine or his official wife, Yun s.h.i.+mo would no longer have a chance to marry Hua Qiyue.
Yun s.h.i.+mo smiled coldly and thought, "Since when did I have no self-confidence?"
Since they came back from the cave, he and Hua Qiyue cooperate with each other very well and they didn't worry about anything.
What surrounded Hua Qiyue were people's laughter and the plaintive singings from singers which improperly reflected the silence in the boat.
Hua Qiyue stared at the Green Jade of Blood in the box. The jade was bright-coloured as red as blood. And general jades didn't have those decorative patterns that were carved on the Jade of Blood.
Green Jade of Blood, which was the magic jade that could only be owned by the royal family, was said that those who took the jade over a long period of time would feel fresh and the jade would protect people from poisons.
Afterwards, Green Jade of Blood became more and more scarce. So, the Queen had to give this kind of jade to First Prince's wives which meant that this kind of jade was especially bestowed to First Prince's women.
There arose some complicated looks in Hua Qiyue's eyes when she looked at such a beautiful jade.
First Prince was patiently waiting for Hua Qiyue's answer.
This was the first time in Huangfu Changyu's life that he had paid court to a woman. But Huangfu Changyu was very confident about this and he was very sure that Hua Qiyue would definitely take it because he was the First Prince of Changjing Kingdom and was the best man in the world.
Hua Qiyue took the box and First Prince suddenly felt ecstatic, after all, Hua Qiyue was very arrogant and it was said that she had refused the courts.h.i.+ps from many childes of big families.
Now she was his woman after taking his token of love!
Yun s.h.i.+mo's face suddenly looked terrible and when he was about to stood up, unexpectedly, Hua Qiyue started to speak, "First Prince, Green Jade of Blood can only be owned by the royal family. But I'm just a little infanta, how can I take such rare gift?"
Hua Qiyue smiled and said, slowly closing the box.
First Prince, who was ecstatic just now, felt so cold and shocked, just like being splashed with a basin of cold water!
Did Hua Qiyue refuse him?
Was what he heard true?
First Prince Huangfu Changyu still couldn't believe what he heard, but Hua Qiyue had tenderly handed the box to him.
The feeling was real!
First Prince was shocked as if he were struck by thunder!
Hua Qiyue refused him in front of so many people and made him lose face!
All of a sudden, First Prince blushed with great anger and his hands also slightly trembled.
Hua Qiyue sighed inwardly and thought, "First Prince isn't really mature. It's hard to say whether First Prince is able to control the whole country after Changlong Emperor pa.s.sed away..."
Yun s.h.i.+mo calmly lifted his gla.s.s and showed no facial expression. But Bingyi knew that His Highness was very happy about it.
Huangfu Shenglin calmly glanced at First Prince whose face blushed, and then calmed down. All the ladies in the boat looked at Hua Qiyue in shock as if they couldn't believe what happened!
Indeed, Hua Qiyue was arrogant. But when she was faced with First Prince, she still kept arrogant!
Offending First Prince meant offending the Emperor. Offending the Emperor meant offending the whole Changjing Kingdom!
"First Prince, please don't blame eldest sister! She's very weird and she will be muddled when she eats grapes! Eldest sister once recognized a servant as Old Madame after having grapes!" Hua Xiaoyi suddenly stood up and said loudly.
"First Prince, look, eldest sister puts her gla.s.s upside down," Hua Xiaoyi said loudly and pointed at Hua Qiyue who was fiddling with her gla.s.s.
Hua Qiyue ignored everything and looked at the bottom of the gla.s.s with a weird look. And then she poured some wine into the gla.s.s, which caused a satiric laughter among the guests.
"Your Highness, look... Princess Jinghua is really muddled and cannot tell the top and the bottom of the gla.s.s apart!" Xiao Zhouzi laughed coldly and said at this moment.
"Yes, Princess Jinghua cannot eat grapes."
"Ha, that's ridiculous. She drinks the wine with the bottom of the gla.s.s."
The guests laughed at her and talked about it, and the atmosphere relaxed.
Just now, Lv Xin and Youshui was so worried because Hua Qiyue would have a hard time in the future as she offended First Prince. But unexpectedly, their Miss did this...
"Miss, this is the bottom of the gla.s.s, you cannot drink it," Lv Xin s.n.a.t.c.hed the gla.s.s from Hua Qiyue's hand at once. Hua Qiyue blinked her eyes and touched her head, saying, "Ah, I'm so sorry that I'm muddled again."
"First Prince, this is eldest sister," Hua Xiaoyi's voice broke the silence in the boat. First Prince coughed and tried to control his anger and emotion, slowly handing the box to Xiao Zhouzi who was still in a shock.
Xiao Zhouzi carefully took the box and glared at Hua Qiyue, putting away the box carefully.
Hua Qiyue looked at First Prince in surprise and said, "Your Highness, did I do something wrong? Why do these people look at me?"
All the people were in silence as if Hua Qiyue they saw now were on the contest held by Ji family before.
Hua Qiyue was a little muddled on the contest, and the legendary legitimate daughter of Hua's Mansion had changed at that time. Now, she would be clear as long as she didn't have grapes.
"Your Highness, these are two kinds of exotic fruits, and I found them painstakingly in the entire country. Bingqing, fetch the fruits," Hua Xiaoyi smiled and said, leisurely walking to First Prince.
First Prince was a little relieved since Hua Xiaoyi gave him a way out. First Prince came back to normal when he saw everyone looking at him with a sympathetic look.
Bingqing fetched the basket and opened it. An exotic fragrance came out of the basket. Everyone looked at the inside of the basket, only to see a light yellow fruit which was as large as a fist and smelt good.
In another basket, there was a fish which had been fried to be golden and looked appetizing.
"Gosh, that's the pa.s.sion fruit!"
"The fish... Is it the Tuhua Fish?"
"Both of them are very rare! They're hard to buy even if you have enough money. One of my uncles spent tens thousand of money to hunt for pa.s.sion fruit from the entire country. However, he neither got the fruit nor had his money back."
Pa.s.sion fruit was also known as the magic fruit in the world. Although it was useless for Qi Artists, generally speaking, it smelt extremely good and its juice was sweet and appetizing, that was why many people would like to eat it.
But the point was that it was hard to grow pa.s.sion fruit. It would be lucky if there could grow only one fruit of one thousand seeds.
Therefore, it was very expensive.
Besides, Tuhua Fish, which inhabited streams, was fed on shrimps and tiddlers in streams. This kind of fish was very rare and was difficult to be caught.
It was very good at hidding its breath, even senior Qi Artists could hardly find it.
Unexpectedly, Hua Xiaoyi had found these two kind of things, which was really unbelievable.
Hua Qiyue calmly looked at Hua Xiaoyi. Hua Xiaoyi very happily handed these two kinds of foods to First Prince.
First Prince liked these two kinds of foods very much.
Seeing this, First Prince smiled slightly and said, "I've never thought that Third Miss was so considerate, it's very kind of you."
"It's great as long as Your Highness likes," Hua Xiaoyi said and blushed with shyness.
At this moment, Xiao Zhouzi took out a silver needle to test whether these two kind of foods were poisonous. No matter where First Prince went, his servant would test the foods that weren't cooked by imperial chefs.
