Chapter 10, A Minor Dispute at the Tavern
Even the virtual night moon felt a wave of embarrassment, is this really Zhu Gaochi? Is this what he calls the dignity of the royal family?
No wonder the two attendants standing at the stairway on the third floor hesitated to speak when they recognized my identity, which is why they remained silent
"Ladies first." Unknowingly, I have brought forth the set of values from the twentieth century
My words cannot be considered light; even the two beauties of the virtual estate can sense that invisible pressure
Upon seeing the people present, Zhuang Qingshuang was also taken aback and turned her gaze towards me
You, you. Under my overwhelming suppression, Zhu Gaochi was completely deflated, his steel teeth grinding in frustration, and his eyes filled with resentment.
At the same time, Zhuang Qingshuang also ascended to the third floor
Zhu Gaochi, this fool, actually thought I was afraid, and he looked up and said: "Yes."
Zhu Gaochi let out a cold snort, merely glaring at me fiercely
I gathered my thoughts, my demeanor suddenly changed, and with a furrowed brow, I said: "Zhu Gaochi, when did it become your place to reprimand His Highness? Is this how Uncle Yan taught you to treat the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty?"
Xu Yeyue? Then he is Zhu, Gao, and Chi
However, what puzzles me is their gaze. Brother Zhu, take a look; it is filled with such intense killing intent. Do I have a vendetta against them for the murder of my father? Or is it a grudge over a wife?
Xu Yeyue shows no signs of weakness, would she still be afraid of you, this coward? Hmph
Zhuang Qingshuang is not someone to be easily bullied. She glared back at me and then chased after me as I had already entered the tavern ahead.
Zhuang Meiren's face flushed inexplicably, and she lowered her head, saying: "Your Highness, please go ahead."
Xu Yeyue merely paused for a moment, then scoffed dismissively, casting another disdainful glance at Zhuang Qingshuang, before turning her slender waist and walking towards the tavern
I encouraged her with a nod, once again signaling Zhuang Qingshuang not to be polite
However, his attitude clearly shows that he does not regard me, the Crown Prince, with any respect; perhaps in the past, he even found ways to bully me.
As I approached her, I stopped and gazed directly into her eyes with my starry pupils, yet I remained silent. I simply stared at her with great interest
"You wish! Do you think you are worthy?" Xu Yeyue stood her ground, confronting me head-on.
Before he could speak, I said: "What’s the matter? Are you going to rebel? A dignified prince of Yan, yet you don’t even know basic etiquette, and you still sit here pompously lecturing others? Do you think you are worthy? Just because you were born into a royal family, you consider yourself superior? If you had a different surname, you would be nothing. To respect others and to honor books, one must first respect oneself; you don’t even understand such a simple principle?"
In the close proximity of a soul window, the virtual night moon finally succumbed, a trace of panic flickering in her eyes, while the blush on her delicate face became even more pronounced
I turned around, facing those fierce-looking plainclothes guards. Taking a deep breath, I crossed my arms over my chest, leaned my head back slightly, and murmured to myself, "Impressive, not bad, yes, quite intimidating, yes, very formidable, yes." After finishing my thoughts, I turned to Zhu Gaochi and said, "Not bad, right? The talents nurtured by the Prince of Yan's residence are indeed remarkable. You must have played a significant role in this, dear brother. I can see your strengths reflected in them, Zhu Huangxiong."
I had no idea that my earlier remarks would greatly astonish the two extraordinary women.
Hehe, girl, I have plenty of time. First, let's put a period on our past matters, and let me take care of the beautiful Zhuang Demei before coming to find you.
Both Zhuang Qingshuang and the already seated Zhu Gaochi and Xu Yeyue were taken aback simultaneously
Upon reaching the third floor, I was taken aback to find the vast space completely empty, with only one person seated in the center of the room.
I paused before the seat, turning to cast a glance that was destined for him
I shrugged nonchalantly, a seemingly casual gesture, yet it exuded a sense of carefree elegance. With a faint smile, I said, "I didn't realize that the renowned female hero was such a miser. Well, even if you refuse, Zhu Yunwen must have an explanation. Let’s do this: consider it that I, Zhu Yunwen, owe you a favor. In the future, if you have any requests, feel free to come to me. From this moment on, let us part ways amicably, with all past grievances erased, as if we have never met." After saying this, without waiting for her response, I turned and entered the tavern.
My thoughts race like electricity, waiting for someone? Waiting for whom
I maintained a carefree smile, gesturing towards a seat by the window, my bright eyes radiating a confidence that rivaled the proud frost of the night moon.
Zhu Gaochi could never have imagined that today, Yunnan, who usually took his feelings into account, would show him no respect at all. He had intended to display his authority in front of the two beautiful women, but instead, he ended up losing face.
He was instantly filled with rage, his face turning crimson, and he slammed his hand on the table.
Who can bear the accusation of harboring animosity towards His Highness today
What is going on with this person? Such deep-set eyes, is this still that coward?
However, Zhu Gaochi looked at me with a provocative expression. From Zhuang Qingshuang's excited demeanor, I could tell that she was somewhat worried about me, but more so about the insult she had suffered herself
At this moment, at the stairs of www.hetushu.com, a chaotic rush of five or six people surged up.
The beauty clearly could not withstand repeated invitations, ultimately gritting her teeth and leading the way forward
"Scoundrels, are you not going to step back? In the presence of His Highness the Crown Prince, are you all blind?" Zhu Gaochi shouted angrily at the crowd. Fortunately, he reacted quickly.
The two women of Xu Zhuang, however, evoke in me a profound and inscrutable feeling; just a moment ago, they were stern and severe, yet now their attitude is neither warm nor cold, leaving me greatly perplexed.
Under the silent gaze, my eyes become increasingly spirited. Truly, you are a favored daughter of heaven, embodying the essence of the universe. If I cannot claim you for myself, then this life will have been in vain.
A trace of surprise involuntarily flashed through Xu Yeyue's beautiful eyes, while Zhuang Qingshuang, who was at the forefront, felt a surge of emotions and was somewhat at a loss.
Just as she was about to avoid my gaze, I said: "Have you surrendered? If so, grant Yunwen a chance for redemption."
Always indulgent in lust, the seemingly accommodating Yunwen surprisingly possesses such a bold and heroic spirit
In an instant, I confirmed my conjecture
Those few individuals appeared flustered, hurriedly offering their apologies as they retreated downstairs
It is truly both laughable and pitiable
When I was prosperous, the moon in the empty night felt insecure
This statement was like a clap of thunder, causing both women in the virtual estate to tremble simultaneously. Zhuang Qingshuang's delicate face turned pale.
However, today's Yunwen is not the same as the Yunwen of the past who was associated with books
Just as she had just taken her seat, I had not yet been seated.
With sword-like brows and bright eyes, he can be considered a handsome figure; however, the arrogance between his brows undermines his otherwise perfect demeanor
Zhu Gaochi's expression suddenly changed dramatically, and the implications were self-evident. He could not help but become flustered; if this situation were to spread to the outside world, it would truly be a serious matter
As Xu Yeyue passes by me at this moment, the wind sweeps past.
Each of them displayed a fierce expression, filled with murderous intent, and they all simultaneously glared at me
Zhu Gaochi coldly laughed and said: "The world is truly declining, Yunwen, you have brought disgrace to the Ming Dynasty. How could you be so despicable, humph"
Moreover, just a few days ago, the incident of the Crown Prince's disappearance occurred; isn't this just asking for trouble
But there is no doubt that I control the atmosphere in the field
The two women of Xu Zhuang felt quite exhilarated; this Yunwen was indeed formidable, having maneuvered in such a way that he pushed Zhu Gaochi and his group into a position of opposition.
Upon the utterance of these words, those present finally understood my true intention
Hmph. Xu Yeyue quickly calmed down, and with a cold expression, said: "You can't be born in the Year of the Pig, can you? Do you only remember the good and forget the bad?"
I turned back and couldn't help but laugh heartily. After taking a few steps forward, I arrived at the seats of him and Xu Yeyue, smiling as I said: "Your person?"
What a magnificent sight; this young man is adorned in a brocade robe with a plain sash, his head crowned with a golden diadem, exuding an air of elegance and grandeur
