At this juncture, everyone who came with them had already had a clear look inside.
King Nanling!
Although he was rarely seen, these people followed Feng Moyun’s circle, and they have all seen the royal family.
Especially someone with aura like the King of Nanling. One meeting was all it took, and anyone would be unable to forget him.
He was the regent who held half of the entire Nanling Kingdom!
Zuo Xuan and Fu Yuxian were also among the crowd. She and Feng Moyun were in-laws, and cousins by relationship. Because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, their groups met together to visit the lantern fair, she also took the time to relax in passing.
She never thought that she would meet Feng Qingbai here.
And even found him with Liu Yusheng alone together!
On top of that, she actually saw Feng Qingbai personally serving dishes to Liu Yusheng!
Under her brocade aqua sleeves, her ten fingers almost pierced her palms!
Zuo Xuan was so jealous that her eyes turned red!
Even if it was impossible for her and him, how could Feng Qingbai fancy such a lowly woman?!
Liu Yusheng, who was she?!
Everyone in the capital claimed that the King of Nanling, Feng Qingbai, wasn’t close to women. Since adulthood, how many people have tried to covet the Nanling King Consort’s position. But no one has ever succeeded.
Feng Qingbai might be handsome and gentle. He treated people sleekly but not sharp. He was seemingly calm, but in fact, he was extremely difficult to approach.
He has never been pleasant to any woman, and hasn’t even spared a glance at any woman!
In order to capture the King of Nanling’s fancy, how many women have racked their brains among the noble families!
How could such a noble and powerful person like a peasant girl?!
How could he be so spoiled and accommodating to Liu Yusheng?…So gentle!
Fu Yuxian was standing beside Zuo Xuan, so she took her reaction in full view.
She felt a touch of schadenfreude. The Young Miss of the Zuo family, granddaughter of the prime minister, was reduced to the point of being jealous of an insignificant County Lady and a peasant girl.
Similarly, a mixture of jealousy also poured in. She was jealous of Liu Yusheng.
Who didn’t want a man like the King of Nanling? However, no one could afford him even if they desired him.
Some people were born with that kind of luck, catching the fancy of a nobleman.
In the entire capital, there were more than one or two people who were envious of Liu Yusheng.
After regaining his thoughts, Feng Moyun bowed to salute, but no response came from the room.
Feng Moyun thus did not dare to raise his head.
Before King Nanling, the imperial concubines of the royal ancestral family still have to avoid his edges. As for his father, the Seventh Prince, he has no share of speech in front of King Nanling.
Not to mention that he was only a royal grandson who was still far from the royal power.
The atmosphere turned bizarre.
The man in the room seemed to have not seen the group standing in front of the door and gave the girl another round of dishes before he put down his chopsticks and turned his head to look at them.
The eyes were deep and dark. It was pitch black, waveless and seemingly unfathomable.
Just as his gaze swept over them, everyone instantly panicked and bowed their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.
They couldn’t fathom the mind of King Nanling.
Besides, the man remained silent, but the aura emanating from him has made the crowd shudder in their boots.
The man who kicked in the door first was drenched in cold sweat, and his face was pale.
The space fell silent for a while.
Feng Moyun’s forehead was also stained with cold sweat. His Imperial Uncle was the most unpredictable.
But he was still aware of the crux of the matter this time. His mind turned, and he kicked the leg of the blue-robed man first, forcing him to kneel.
“You dare to be presumptuous in front of my Imperial Uncle! Who gave you the courage?! Quickly apologize and beg for forgiveness. Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences!” Feng Moyun gritted his teeth.
The blue-robed gentleman dared not argue and immediately begged for mercy, “Your Royal highness, please forgive me! I was reckless and blind, and disturbed Your Royal Highness’s peace and quiet. Please pardon my offense, Your Royal Highness!”
After speaking, he raised his hand and hit himself on the mouth, not daring to keep his strength. The slaps echoed in the doorway of the room.
Everyone was silent and did not dare to make a sound.
The surrounding compartments were also dead silent, as if no one occupied them. There was so much noise outside, and the soundproof walls weren’t that quality, so the other rooms nearby have a clear understanding of everything that has transpired.
No one came out of their rooms to poke around, and none dared to make the slightest noise even more.
The young man outside called someone Imperial Uncle. Anyone in the noble and powerful circle immediately guessed without looking at who the “Imperial Uncle” was who had this kind of aura.
The blue-robed gentleman’s cheeks have been beaten red and swollen, but the man inside still hasn’t spoken.
Then he couldn’t stop.
Sitting beside the man, Liu Yusheng ate while looking at the group of people at the door, all of whom were noble princes and daughters. Two among them were familiar faces.
Zuo Xuan and Fu Yuxian.
These two were looking at her with a less than friendly gaze.
Liu Yusheng glanced at them and averted her gazes, as if they were air.
Fu Yuxian opened her mouth when she met Liu Yuzheng’s eyes. She wanted to say hello to her and perhaps curry favor with the King of Nanling. Unfortunately, the woman treated her like a stranger and threw her off guard. She swept her a glance and withdrew her gaze, which made Fu Yuxian blush and unable to utter whatever she wanted to say.
Liu Yusheng slowly finished gnawing the ribs in her mouth and spat out the bones. Then she pulled Feng Qingbai’s hand and said, “Feng Qingbai, I’m uncomfortable.”
She knew why Feng Qingbai hadn’t spoken yet, He was waiting for her to speak.
The kick at the door just now startled her.
The man was helping her to vent. Once she spoke, he would let them go.
Feng Qingbai grasped the woman’s hand and looked at Feng Moyun, then he softly ordered, “Get out.”
From beginning to end, he never spared a glance at others.
Even the blue-robed gentleman who hit his own face was non-existent in his eyes. He couldn’t make it into his eyes.
“Thank you for your grace, Imperial Uncle! And thank you, Miss, for pleading! We will leave immediately.”
After receiving the amnesty, Feng Moyun quickly pulled up the blue-robed gentleman and bowed before quickly leaving. Before leaving, he seemed to glance at Liu Yusheng unintentionally.
That glance made Feng Qingbai’s eyes cold, but Feng Moyun already turned around and missed it.
Once the group left, the shopkeeper immediately stepped forward to close the door of the room for the two people, not daring to say a word more.
He dared not express his pleasure.
Those gentry were arrogant and domineering just relying on a bit of identity. He couldn’t afford to offend them, but someone could.
That image just now was enough for him to enjoy for a long time.
Because of this change and loss in dignity, who in Feng Moyun and his party still was in the mood to eat? They walked out of the restaurant and went their separate ways.
Only Zuo Xuan stood baffled at the entrance of the restaurant for a long time without moving. No one knew what was on her mind as she looked distracted.
Fu Yuxian rolled her eyes. “Miss Zuo, do you want to go home or continue to stroll around? Although the incident just now spoiled the fun, we did not cause it. Why should we be implicated and let it affect our mood? The Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival is once a year. It’s a pity not to stroll around.”
Zuo Xuan looked up at the brilliant lights and slowly said, “We should not let it sweep our own mood. Go for a stroll.”
The so-called stroll was the two walking in the midst of the throngs of people but always wandering in the vicinity of the Qian family restaurant. They never veered far.
