However, after saying it, Yan Yi regretted it.
The reason was that a grand procession had arrived at Feixue Pavilion. Eight strong men carried a palanquin into the pavilion, but even after entering, they refused to take a single step inside, demonstrating their arrogance. More importantly, Yan Yi recognized them.
"Yan... Yan Chunjun?"
Yan Yi's expression changed drastically. After the palanquin landed in the main hall of Fei Xue Pavilion, Yan Yi hurriedly stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Yan Yi has spoken rudely. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Inside the palanquin, a fat, ugly man glanced at Yan Yi and said, "Considering this is your first offense, slap yourself."
Yan Yi was also a man who was willing to lose face. Without saying a word, he slapped himself a few times. After a few slaps, his face immediately swelled up and turned red.
"Go back."
Yan Chunjun then said something to Yan Yi.
Yan Yi felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly withdrew.
Lord Yanchun remained seated in the palanquin, looking through the curtain at the Snow Maiden on the Jade Flower Terrace. He said with amusement, “I have long heard that the Snow Maiden of Feixue Pavilion is a woman of unparalleled beauty and whose dance is exquisite, earning her the title of ‘one dance that can captivate a city.’ Unfortunately, she only performs one dance per month, and I have never had the chance to see her.”
"So, I've arrived today, though it seems I'm a little late."
"But I am very happy to be able to meet Miss Snow Woman."
"Perfect timing! I've recently acquired a new batch of fine wine called Guanghan Guang. I wonder if Miss Xue Nu would do me the honor of having a drink with me?"
Yan Chunjun appeared very polite, inviting Xue Nu to drink with him, but his words left no room for refusal.
In addition, Yan Chunjun's behavior reminded many people of a rumor.
According to legend, once Lord Yanchun takes a fancy to a woman, he will invite her to drink with him. If she agrees, it means that she is willing to become Lord Yanchun's woman and needs to enter Lord Yanchun's mansion.
Conversely, if it is a refusal.
Yan Chunjun always had a way of making them obediently comply.
After hearing Yan Chunjun's words, many guests' expressions changed drastically.
However, not a single person dared to step forward.
A person's name, a tree's shadow, and the ominous reputation of Lord Yanchun are enough to stop a child from crying in the State of Yan.
Even Yan Yi, the great general of Yan, had to beg for mercy when facing Lord Yanchun. How could these people dare to offend Lord Yanchun?
And so, the wine was served by the guards beside Lord Yanchun to the Yuki-onna.
The Snow Woman frowned slightly as she looked at the wine that was brought to her.
She hadn't been in the Yan Kingdom for very long, but with the help of Crown Prince Yan Dan, she started the Fei Xue Pavilion, and its name quickly became famous throughout Ji City.
However, since she lived in Ji City, Xue Nu was aware of Yan Chunjun's infamous reputation.
I thought that with the protection of Prince Yan Dan of Yan Kingdom, Lord Yan Chun would not dare to do anything.
It now seems that she ultimately underestimated Yan Chunjun's arrogance and audacity.
After all, he was the younger brother of the King of Yan, and his status was extremely high. Even Crown Prince Yan Dan had to be extremely respectful when facing Lord Yanchun in the Yan Kingdom.
Chapter 267 Three Days
With a thought flashing through her mind, the Snow Maiden first bowed slightly and paid her respects to Lord Yanchun.
Even if she didn't like Yan Chunjun, there was nothing she could do. She was living under someone else's roof. She was currently in Ji City, the capital of Yan State, and Yan Chunjun was the younger brother of the King of Yan, wielding immense power.
This is someone even Crown Prince Yan Dan, the person behind Fei Xue Ge, wouldn't dare offend. If it weren't necessary, Xue Nu naturally wouldn't want to offend Lord Yan Chun either.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, but the Snow Maiden never drinks alcohol and is not a strong drinker."
These words clearly indicate a rejection of Lord Yanchun's offer to stab him in the wine.
Upon hearing this, many people's expressions changed slightly. They admired the Snow Maiden's courage and boldness, but they also couldn't help but worry about her. It was not a good thing for the Snow Maiden to refuse Lord Yanchun in this way.
Surprisingly, even after being rejected by the Snow Woman in public, Yan Chunjun showed no anger whatsoever.
Instead, he said quite magnanimously, "Since Miss Xue Nu is not a good drinker, then forget it, we don't need to drink this wine."
"However, I have always admired Miss Xue Nu's dance. When I arrived here today, Miss Xue Nu's dance had already ended, which made me extremely disappointed. How about this, 387 three days from now, I will send someone to personally welcome Miss Xue Nu into my mansion and have her perform a dance for me?"
That's more like it!
As expected, Lord Yanchun was still the same Lord Yanchun, without the slightest change.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of many guests changed again.
If the incident of stabbing someone in the wine was merely a subtle tactic by Lord Yanchun, then now he has laid his cards on the table, directly inviting the Snow Maiden into his residence to dance for him.
"This is an attempt to use a public vehicle for private purposes!"
As an observer, Jiang Chuan witnessed these famous scenes and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Snow Maiden is a superstar in the entire city of Ji, known for her captivating dance. Many people long to witness her dance but cannot, and many more admire her. Her existence is like that of a celestial fairy, unattainable and admired from afar. People only dare to look at her from a distance and dare not touch her.
The results of it?
Yan Chunjun, however, is an unreasonable person. She intends to turn the fairy in everyone's hearts into her own private possession.
This move undoubtedly provoked public outrage.
However, due to Yan Chunjun's status, no one dared to speak out in defense of justice.
It should be noted that Lord Yanchun is capable of killing.
In the past, there were many people who offended Lord Yanchun, and as a result, their corpses would appear in the desolate countryside outside the city the next day.
Despite the many guests, no one dared to speak.
But some people still chose to step forward and stand up.
The one who stepped forward was a musician.
He was dressed in white, with a handsome appearance and a strong artistic aura. "Please be aware, Your Majesty, that Miss Xue Nu only performs one dance per month. The dance for the following month has already ended. It would be against the rules of Fei Xue Pavilion to go to Your Majesty's residence to perform a dance for you."
Upon hearing these words, Yuki-onna, one of the parties involved, looked at the person who had stepped forward with some surprise.
If I remember correctly, the other person's name seems to be Xiao Gao, a musician who has not been with Fei Xue Ge for long.
Xiao Gao's act of stepping forward deeply moved Xue Nu.
Since Mr. Kuang Xiu of Zhao left, no one has been kind to her anymore. Mr. Kuang Xiu also met his demise in Qin. Earlier, when Xue Nu learned that Mr. Kuang Xiu had been executed, she was quite saddened.
However, Xue Nu then concluded that this Xiao Gao might not know much about Yan Chun Jun because he had only been in Fei Xue Ge for a short time and was unaware of how terrifying Yan Chun Jun was.
Feixue Pavilion may be the property of Crown Prince Yan Dan, but what does it amount to in front of Lord Yan Chun?
The Snow Woman was about to speak and reprimand Xiao Gao in order to protect him.
Unexpectedly, Yan Chunjun, inside the palanquin, spoke first, "Rules?"
(chaf) "It seems there are some things you don't understand. In this city of Ji, apart from my brother, I am the one who follows the rules."
"Jueying, teach him a lesson!"
As Yan Chunjun spoke, his personal guard, a sinister man named Jueying, flashed into view and suddenly appeared in front of Gao Jianli, who had stepped forward, and attacked him.
Gao Jianli lowered his head in a dignified manner.
But in the end, they did not choose to retaliate.
Admittedly, he is quite strong and can block Jueying's attack, but if he does, it will only give Yanchun Jun an excuse for Feixue Pavilion to disobey the emperor, thus causing Feixue Pavilion to launch another attack and bring even greater trouble.
Gao Jianli was a smart man and did not want Feixue Pavilion to fall into such a predicament unless absolutely necessary.
So he pretended to be weak and helpless, and took a punch from Jueying.
He stumbled and fell backward, looking quite badly injured.
Upon seeing this scene, Xue Nu's eyes flashed with a hint of worry, but she quickly concealed it and turned her gaze back to Yan Chun Jun in the palanquin. "Why must Your Majesty do this?"
Yan Chunjun said coldly, "We should teach fools a lesson."
In his eyes, Gao Jianli was a fool.
However, since Gao Jianli did not provoke him further, and since this was in Feixue Pavilion, in front of Xue Nu, Yan Chun Jun did not take any further action. If it were elsewhere, he would not mind having Jueying kill Gao Jianli.
After saying this, Yan Chunjun's gaze fell on Xue Nu's face again, "Xue Nu, what have you thought about it?"
The Snow Maiden sighed and said, "Since His Majesty has come here in person and extended such a warm invitation, the Snow Maiden can only agree."
"In that case, I will wait for Miss Xue Nu in my manor three days from now."
Yan Chunjun was immediately delighted upon hearing this.
The many guests present were extremely disappointed.
Three days later, once Miss Xue Nu steps into Lord Yan Chun's residence, it will mean that Fei Xue Pavilion has lost a pillar of the troupe. From now on, it will be virtually impossible for them to see Miss Xue Nu dance.
The Snow Maiden will become a forbidden child of Lord Yanchun, and the thought that the beautiful Snow Maiden might be forced to submit to the fat and ugly Lord Yanchun, being pressed down by him, makes some people even more uncomfortable.
However, because of the plight of the musician Xiao Gao, they ultimately dared not speak up for the Snow Woman.
And so, while Feixue Pavilion remained silent, Lord Yanchun had his men lift the palanquin and depart.
He came quickly and left quickly.
I came here solely for the Snow Woman's dance.
However, it brought immense pressure to the entire Feixue Pavilion.
