Chongfei Manual

Chapter 114

It was sensible of Wei Luo to choose to ignore Wan Qi Zhen. Although no one had lived in Bao Shu Hall for a while, there were eyes everywhere in the palace. Wu Rong had come to Da Liang with the intention of becoming allies through marriage. If a meddlesome person told Emperor Chong Zhen or Wu Rong's emperor that he or she had seen something between her and Wan Qi Zhen, then Wei Luo and Zhao Jie's marriage would most likely be affected.

Wan Qi Zhen didn't succeed this time. Wei Luo had completely ignored him. Even if someone wanted to make mischief, he or she wouldn't have an opening.

Zhao Jie looked at Wan Qi Zhen, who was at least ten feet away. Then, he looked the young girl behind himself.

Wei Luo pulled his sleeve, lifted up her small, fair face, and complained, "Big brother, he threatened me."

It was really exaggerating to say that it was threatening. Wan Qi Zhen's previous action wasn't threatening at all. It was clearly flirting.

He knew that she was Zhao Jie's Princesses Consort Jing and still acted rude and careless toward her. It really made people feel uncomfortable. Wei Luo heard that he had countless concubines in his residence. He was probably a man full of lust and half-hearted feelings. Flirting had probably become second nature to him. He wasn't a good person. So what if his appearance was attractive and he had outstanding talent? He was still scum.

Zhao Jie raised his hand and stroked her cheek. His movement was gentle as if he was holding an easily breakable treasure. He didn't say a word. When he turned to look at Wan Qi Zhen, his gaze change into a coldness that pierces the bones. He slowly asked, "Fourth prince, why did you appear here?"

Wan Qi Zhen had already stood up and put down his dark green embroidered sleeve. He disapprovingly lifted his lips and said, "This prince was leisurely walking around. What? Does this bother Prince Jing?"

His tone wasn't good. There was a hint of provocation.

It couldn't be blamed that his tone was nasty. Zhao Jie had snatched the public's favorable opinion from him and he had also suffered a blow from Wei Luo's actions. So, right now, he didn't have a pleasant expression when he saw Zhao Jie. Wu Rong's people cared a great deal about not losing face and were rather conceited. There were many narrow-mind people like Wan Qi Zhen.

Zhao Jie could easily guess why he was acting like this, but he didn't want to bicker like him. The outcome in the training area had already determined everything. It wasn't the style of a man and would be too petty for them to continue talking about it. He only said, "Ah Luo is this prince's fiancée. Fourth prince, please conduct yourself with dignity and retrain your natural disposition." As he said this, he tightened the cloak on Wei Luo's shoulders and covered her flower-like face. The cloak had a pattern of scattered lotus flowers with green stems and auspicious clouds. "My imperial father and your esteemed father have probably already finished discussed fourth prince's marriage. Fourth prince, are you not going to go over there to hear about the result?"

The implication was that he should be concerned about his own marriage instead of coming here to bother Wei Luo because he had nothing to do.

Although Wan Qi Zhen was angry, he hadn't lost his senses. It wouldn't be good for him to offend Zhao Jie while their two countries were currently working on alliance. He stood in place for a moment and his line of sight landed on the young and delicate girl behind Zhao Jie. Seeing that Zhao Jie's expression was sinking, he grinned. He placed his right hand on his chest to salute and said, "Prince Jing disregard today's matter."

Then, he turned around and left.

He had lusted after his woman and he wanted him to disregard it? Zhao Jie's dark eyes coldly looked at Wan Qi Zhen's departing figure. A vicious light flashed through his eyes.
