Chapter 545: As if She Didn’t Have Enough Jealousy to Deal With
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Walking from the Western Palace towards the palace gate, not far along the path, Liu Shimei indeed saw Huangfu He!
With her mind preoccupied, Liu Shimei hadn’t noticed Huangfu He approaching from the other side until Mo’er reminded her, “Eldest Young Miss, it’s the Crown Prince!”
She looked up in surprise and saw the tall and elegant man walking towards her from the flower path.
The Crown Prince’s attire was luxurious, and Huangfu He himself exuded a gentle and refined aura. Regardless of his status, this man was undeniably pleasing to the eye.
“Greetings, Your Highness,” Liu Shimei curtsied.
She couldn’t help but think: Is the Crown Prince doing this intentionally?
How could the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace be walking in the direction of the Western Palace?
Just as Liu Shimei silently questioned this, Huangfu He provided her with a reasonable explanation. “No need for formalities.”
He explained, “I heard that the Second Prince was injured and is recovering in the palace. I planned to visit and check on his condition. Unexpectedly, I met Eldest Miss Liu on the way.”
Not really.
While it was theoretically necessary for an elder brother to visit an injured younger brother, he didn’t come for that reason. It was because he knew that Huangfu Lingyao was the one Liu Shimei had brought into the palace!
He hadn’t seen her for a long time, and the Crown Prince couldn’t leave the palace frequently to avoid trouble. Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally wouldn’t let it slip away.
He had thought that seeing Liu Shimei would inevitably mean seeing Huangfu Lingyao too, witnessing their lovey-dovey appearance. Thankfully, he encountered Liu Shimei on the way and was spared from facing that heart-wrenching sight.
Liu Shimei smiled awkwardly, maintaining her politeness without losing her composure. She said, “Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Lingyao is resting in his chambers. I have some matters to attend to and must leave the palace. Please excuse my departure.”
Just moments ago, her silly dog had warned her not to talk to the Crown Prince. She couldn’t contradict him so quickly now!
Maintaining courtesy was necessary; saying too much was unnecessary!
Huangfu He felt stifled in his heart.
One, because she stood from Huangfu Lingyao’s perspective and said, ‘Thank you for your concern’. Two, naturally because she was about to leave after just a few words.
He sighed helplessly and said, “Then I will go to the Deer Seeking Hall.”
There were too many eyes in the palace, not suitable for saying inappropriate things, so he could only give up.
It would be better to meet her at Deer Seeking Hall; perhaps he could say a few more words!
Liu Shimei bowed respectfully, “Sending off the Crown Prince.”
Huangfu He glanced deeply at her and turned away.
Seeing him turn around, Liu Shimei immediately got up and left, pulling Mo’er along.
It wasn’t until they were on their own carriage that Mo’er sighed softly and said, “Eldest Miss, it seems like His Highness the Crown Prince is quite… devoted to you, even if you’re engaged, he still seems quite enamored.”
Liu Shimei glanced at her, coldly warning, “You can say this in front of me, but don’t talk nonsense in front of Lingyao!”
As if she didn’t have enough jealousy to deal with regarding her silly puppy?
Mo’er playfully stuck out her tongue and laughed, “How could I not know? His Highness’s temperament—anything he does is fine, but jealousy takes the top spot!”
“Jealousy does take the top spot, that’s correct. But if you say he can’t do anything, that’s not right.” Liu Shimei reached out and tapped her forehead, saying, “Be careful what you say; don’t talk nonsense outside in the future.”
It was the truth.
Who said Huangfu Lingyao couldn’t do anything?
At the critical moment, the person who protected her safety, wasn’t it this foolishly devoted person?
Mo’er also thought of this and looked at Liu Shimei, saying, “But seriously, although His Highness has some… quirks, he is genuinely good to Eldest Young Miss!”
A sweet smile curved Liu Shimei’s lips; she didn’t need to respond because this statement didn’t require confirmation—it was a fact!
