Chapter 1086: The Story of Changfeng and the Ninth Emperor I
“Your Royal Highness, why are you so worried about a stranger when there are countless talented young men in Haitian Kingdom and you have not accepted any of them?” Xiao Ying bit her pink lower lip. She was somewhat puzzled by this young girl’s behavior.
A coy, gentle, and warm smile formed on the young girl’s fair face. “Some things have been predestined for good and you won’t understand. Xiao Ying, let’s go back first, I want to see him.”
It was as if she had just met him, but it felt like she had known him for a long time and it was hard to meet him again.
***
A man with long black hair and was wearing a white robe like an immortal with unrivaled charm, lay behind the screen inside the luxurious and exquisite palace.
He was devastatingly beautiful.
His beauty was simply beyond any word expressions.
It was as if everything in the world would lose its color in his presence.
“Qing’er… Qing’er… Jiu’er…”
The man’s voice was soft and his eyes were still closed. But in his gentle murmur, he seemed to be calling out to his lover.
A light breeze came in from the window. The young girl put her hand to one side of her cheek and looked at the handsome man, who was sleeping, with stars in her eyes.
“Xiao Ying, why would he know my name?”
Her name was Fu Qingjiu.
But she and this young master had never met before, and she had never known him. So, how did he know her name?
Xiao Ying sneered and said with disdain, “Princess, you are so outstanding, all the men in the world want to be close to you and I think this guy is just trying his luck. He only has a handsome face, how can such a gigolo make a good match for you?”
There were so many talented young men in Haitian Kingdom. Even if one was not as good-looking as this young master, the one was better in every other aspect. Then, why would the princess want to keep him?
Such a gigolo, the best thing that he had was just his stunning face. He was not capable of becoming an imperial prince!
Princess Qingjiu smiled as her eyes were focused on the man. “I believe that he is not like that and that he is different from other men… He would not approach me because of my status.”
If she was not a princess of the kingdom, how could those young men of Haitian Kingdom be so crazy over her? But somehow, she had always felt that the man in front of her was different.
Besides, like men, women were also attracted to beauty. She had the status and she did not need it for her marriage.
“Jiu’er…”
“I’m here.”
Princess Qingjiu wanted to hold the man’s hand, but before she could touch his palm, her hand was burned by it. She was shocked and hastily retracted her hand.
It was always like this since the man was brought back.
No one knew what had happened to him in the mausoleum, but the temperature of his body was too high. Let alone hers, even those physicians whom she had sought out to treat the man could not even touch him.
Princess Qingjiu desired to touch his face, to hold his hand, and even to kiss him for a couple of times since, but there was no way she could do that except to just sit next to him and watch him silently.
Oh, the only place she could touch was the quilt that covered his whole body. She could not even reach the corner of his coat.
“Princess!” Xiao Ying stomped her foot in anger as she saw the obsession in the princess’ eyes.
‘This man is actually scheming. He has purposely fainted in front of the princess and keeps calling her name in his sleep as a way to attract her attention.’
