Unbridled Medical Expert Consort: Demon Prince, Be Good

Chapter 56b: Jealous

“Don’t like it?” Nangong Qing appeared muddled as if he hadn’t slept and pointed to another dish. “Then try this one? Even though this is a vegetable dish, don’t look down on it, ok? Merely the main course of jade lotus abalone is not something you can find just anywhere, not to mention this accompanying dish that uses a hundred fragrant leaves paired harmoniously. Yes, even though I feel that it’s not bad, if she’s here, she would most likely still be able to find fault with it.”

Once he thought of what happened that day at the restaurant, Nangong Qing still savored the lingering memories. A smiling expression appeared on his face as he said, “Ziqing, you weren’t there at the time and didn’t witness the second Miss Luo’s graceful bearing. I simply never thought that there was still such an erudite and multi-talented woman in the world. Not only does she play the zither, she also paid so much attention to culinary delicacies.”

As he spoke, he looked again at the three dishes on the table before sighing. “Alas, I wonder how she would evaluate these three dishes that I had the cook especially prepare? Sigh, Ziqing, can you give me some critique in advance……”

“You’re very happy aren’t you?” Suddenly, and indifferent voice came from Nalan Ye’s mouth, without the slightest warmth from his eyes.

Not sensing the other person’s indifference at all. Even with a trace of jealousy, Nangong Qing immediately replied. “Exactly! Ziqing, you and I are rare pals and soul mates. There are some things I won’t hide from you. 

As he spoke, he smiled. He seemed to see that young lady dressed in snow white in front of his eyes, one smile, one frown, could actually attract him so much. Each expression, each word, each movement, could linger in his memory like that.

Nangong Qing said while half awake, in a muddled state, “I can declare that the woman I want to find in this lifetime is her. She’s so special, so beautiful. If I didn’t know that she’s the general’s second daughter, I’m afraid I would suspect that she’s a goddess from heaven visiting the earth……”

“A little, silly girl, nothing more, yet you make her out to be so incredible?” 

Nalan Ye’s statement again coldly interrupted him, so much so that there was even mocking and disbelief in his tone of voice.

Finally sensing that his close friend seemed to misunderstand Luo Qing Luan a bit, Nangong Qing explained in deadly earnest. “No no, Ziqing, you must have been deceived by those rumors about her before. If you can truly interact with her, you’ll discover what kind of person Miss Luo is.”

“Exceptionally intelligent, gentle and kindhearted, a character like orchids and a heart like lilies (clean and fragrant in character and pure in heart)……”

Nalan Ye sneered in his mind. That girl, when was she ever gentle and kindhearted? She was so ruthless towards him, itching to break his leg with a stomp, even visited the brothels and drink with courtesans. How was she like an honorable noble lady? Saying that she’s intelligent, a character like orchids and a heart like lilies? More like crafty in multiple ways and scheming in endless ways, right?

“In the past, I’ve never thought about whether I’d fall in love with a woman someday, but now, I understand.” The corners of his mouth curved upwards, brimming with a tender, beaming smiling expression. Nangong Qing’s gaze was resolute as he raised a cup of ice flower wine before him and spoke one word at a time. “Ziqing, let me tell you. I must marry her as my crown prince consort!”

Was that right? This woman was the same as a little wildcat. You’re certain she’s suitable to be the crown prince consort?

Nalan Ye smiled coldly in his heart, yet not a trace was visible on his face, appearing as indifferent as before. However, an unconcealable feeling of anger flashed through the bottom of his eyes, then instantly disappeared.

This stinky girl, haven’t seen her for barely a moment, yet she met up with another man to eat and drink already. Was it possible that she didn’t comprehend the reserveness that a woman should have in the least? If he didn’t properly disciple her, he’s afraid she’d only be more and more unbridled in the future!

“I still have things to do, leaving.” Thinking to this point, Nalan Ye stood up and left.

“Hey, Ziqing, where are you going?” The other person already walked out of the door before Nangong Qing reacted, so it was already too late.

Having left the crown prince’s mansion, Nalan Ye, dressed completely in dark clothes, seemed to be a spirit blending into the night. He disappeared noiselessly into the large street. Even if someone stared intently at him, they still wouldn’t be able to tell when he disappeared, or where he was going.

Only feeling as if a blaze was ignited in his heart, Nalan Ye only thought about capturing Luo Qing Luan and properly reproaching her as he jumped on a rooftop. How could she be so casual and actually just share a meal with Nangong Qing so easily. 

Could it be she liked him? And also wanted to be crown prince consort?

Once he thought of this, he couldn’t help but heat up, unable to control himself. 

Putting to full use his light foot skills, Nalan Ye very quickly already found the General’s Mansion. With familiarity, he arrived at that shabby, simple and crude little courtyard. But with one look, he could tell something was off. It simply didn’t look like someone lived here. Obviously, Luo Qing Luan wasn’t here.

This clearly was her little courtyard, but where was she?

The gears in his mind spinning, this little snag could not stump him. He looked all around and very quickly saw Luo Qing Luan’s figure at Flowery Frost Courtyard.

Through the opened window, her head was bent over, as if she was writing something. Her snow white neck was as slender as a swan’s. Her feathery eyelashes hung down softly, red lips pursed, as if smiling somewhat.

Standing on the top of the wall, all of the fury in Nalan Ye’s heart dissipated into nothingness.

Such elegant serenity, what a moving scene. She held a brush moving rapidly, obviously already planned in advance what to write down. From time to time, she even smiled, clearly in a very satisfied manner. He suddenly became very curious. What in the world was she writing and also drawing?

What Luo Qing Luan was writing was naturally her new little romance novel. 

She didn’t sense that she was being watched at all and was only immersed in her own world, looking upon each single written word as if looking at money. Once she thought of this, she was filled with enthusiasm. Even though the night had already deepened, she still hadn’t stopped.
