I am born a beauty, and I am supreme

Chapter 130

Tang Leyan's eyes darted around: "I feel very sorry for you. But, may I ask, young master, what exactly happened?"

“The past is too painful to recall,” Feng Feisheng sighed. “In short, Leyan, my heart is broken and I need your comfort.”

"If you come any closer, you'll probably get hurt again." Tang Leyan covered her mouth with her fan and smiled.

Looking at her flushed face, Feng Feisheng was somewhat infatuated and said with a smile, "Oh, I forgot, there was no poison in the dishes this time..."

Tang Leyan glared at him as she saw his relaxed smile, then turned and walked out of the pavilion.

Feng Feisheng followed behind, saying as they walked, "Leyan, Leyan, are you really not going to stay?"

"That's strange. Why are you being so unusual and just clinging to me?" Tang Leyan tilted her head to look at him.

“I suddenly realized… um…” Feng Feisheng stammered.

"What did you find?"

He leaned closer and whispered, "I noticed... your hair smells so good."

Tang Leyan tapped her hand with her fan and said, "Please take your hand away."

Feng Feisheng withdrew his hand, but looked at her and smiled: "Leyan, do you feel a little dizzy?"

"Yes, how did you know?" Tang Leyan stopped in her tracks. "You just said there was no poison in the food?"

"Yes, there really isn't." "Then what do you mean by that?" He quickened his pace.

Feng Feisheng laughed heartily: "The food wasn't poisoned, but there was wine."

Tang Leyan stopped in her tracks and snorted, "You brat..."

"But don't worry, poisoning is something that's no longer novel once it's been done. This time I'm using an all-natural fragrance-enhancing dew, plus a cup of iced lemon tea. When you switch the two, it will have the same effect as if you've taken a drug."

"That cup of tea just now..." Tang Leyan frowned.

"Didn't you praise the refreshing aroma of that cup of tea?" Feng Feisheng smiled and stretched out his arms.

"You really are..." Tang Leyan shook her head, unable to stand still, and took a few steps back, but in the end she did not leave his side. Feng Feisheng reached out and hugged her, first lowering his head to sniff her cheek: "You really smell so good."

"Get out of the way!" Tang Leyan shouted.

"Oh dear, why are you being so rough?" Feng Feisheng chuckled and picked her up horizontally. "Leyan, Leyan, I've already taken a risk once in the first trial, so it's nothing to take another risk this time. Besides, I don't believe I'll misjudge you a second time."

Tang Leyan frowned and said, "Are you crazy? You're completely insane! Don't forget, I'm Shun's betrothal envoy. What are you going to do to me...?"

"Of course I won't do anything to you, I won't hit you, I won't scold you, I'll just treat you well..."

He smiled like a cat facing a delicious meal.

Tang Leyan looked at him and suddenly sighed, "How can I trust you in the future if you act like this?"

"As long as there is good food and good wine, you will always choose to believe it temporarily."

"You really know me well," she sneered.

"Of course, of course," Feng Feisheng said with a smile. "As long as you give me a chance, I will let you discover more of my strengths."

"I haven't found any highlights, and I'm about to be driven crazy by your nagging."

"Then I'll stop talking for now and wait a bit..."

"Don't even think about it. If you dare touch me, you're dead."

"So what if I hit you a couple of times?"

"Feng Feisheng..."

He strode forward, then suddenly fell silent.

Tang Leyan felt a burning sensation in her stomach, hoping that the wine and tea he had served as an aphrodisiac had no effect.

"What do you think of Jiu Jun?" Feng Feisheng suddenly asked again.

Why bring her up all of a sudden?

"I'm talking about you. Don't you secretly admire Jiu Jun's courage and decisiveness?"

"Ha, what do you mean by bringing this up now..." She just laughed.

"If you like someone, you should tell them."

"You can mistake men for women, what right do you have to say you like them?" She looked at him sarcastically.

"I'm sure I won't be wrong this time."

Even if you don't misread it, it's useless.

"how?"

"Feng Feisheng, I already have someone I like." "Who is it? Chu Gexing?" His expression was slightly tense.

"no!"

"Who is that?" Feng Feisheng's eyes lit up, as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.

Tang Leyan saw this and sneered, "I don't need to tell you."

"If you don't tell me, you're lying to me, and I don't believe you."

"You...stop your nonsense."

"I'm going to stick with you today." He chuckled, kicked open a door, and stepped inside.

Tang Leyan sighed and said, "Why does the young prince always like to do things that end without any results?"

Feng Feisheng looked at her and said, "There's no building here for you to jump from. I don't believe anyone will come to save you this time."

"Want to take a gamble?" Tang Leyan glanced at him sideways. "I forgot to tell you, my luck has been really, really good lately."

"What are we betting on?" Feng Feisheng placed her on the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, took off his boots, and asked.

Chapter 165 of "Jiangnan Road by the Misty Waters": Leaning on the Balustrade

Tang Leyan met Feng Jiansheng's eyes and was slightly startled: What a sharp gaze.

With a flick of his wrist, he closed the fan, stepped forward, and bowed: "Greetings, Your Highness the Regent."

Feng Jiansheng nodded: "No need for formalities."

Tang Leyan straightened up: "Thank you for finding this place, Regent. You've worked hard."

"It is what I should do," he replied expressionlessly.

“Your Highness must have something important to discuss. Why don’t we talk as we walk?” Tang Leyan said gently.

Without saying a word, he immediately stepped forward: "That is exactly what I intend to do."

The two walked out one after the other.

The Regent was discussing the details of Princess Yinyue's wedding with Tang Leyan. The date had already been set and was an auspicious day. There was nothing else to argue about. Listening to the man beside her speak so shrewdly, Tang Leyan felt a growing sense of unease. This man didn't seem like the type to come to her specifically to discuss such trivial matters. Could it be that he had planned this all along, or perhaps he had ulterior motives? This roundabout search for her now seemed to have started strong but ended weakly, as if he were testing her for something.

She thought and thought but couldn't figure it out, so she could only be on guard. The regent didn't make any other moves. After they finished talking, they parted ways, one returning to the palace and the other to the inn.

Tang Leyan rode back to the post station, dismounted, and went inside.

Just then, she ran into someone who was busy looking for her. Upon seeing her, the person immediately beamed with joy: "The envoy is back! That's good! The princess sent us to look for you everywhere."

Princess Yinyue originally lived elsewhere, in a place specially prepared for her by the Fengcheng royal family. She enjoyed it for a day, then found an excuse to move back to the post station. This was also a headache for Tang Leyan. Judging from Princess Yinyue's demeanor, she clearly had some affection for Crown Prince Danning. However, she hadn't explicitly stated it. Instead, she would send people to see her every few days, rambling on about trivial matters and other things, relentlessly pestering her. This gave Tang Leyan a headache. Every time she made an excuse to leave, Princess Yinyue would send all sorts of people to look for her, not satisfied until she had caused a complete uproar.

In comparison, Tang Leyan was extremely envious of Chu Gexing. That guy must have had some kind of good luck; Yin Yue never bothered him, even though the two seemed closer in terms of kinship... After thinking about it, this explanation didn't seem to make sense, so Tang Leyan could only smile wryly.

He then asked, "Where is the Vice Envoy?"

The man replied, "The Vice Envoy is in his room."

"The princess didn't look for him?"

"No."

"This is outrageous! People are truly different," Tang Leyan thought with envy.

Despite her thoughts, Tang Leyan knew she couldn't afford to offend Princess Yinyue, who was known for her capricious nature. Fortunately, the effects of the fragrant dew and tea were gradually waning, so she forced herself to stay alert. She followed the person towards the princess's room.

She had just circled around when she saw someone standing by the railing, seemingly gazing intently at the flowers in the garden, motionless and lost in thought. Tang Leyan thought for a moment. She walked over and patted his shoulder: "What are you looking at?"

When Chu Gexing turned around and saw her flushed face, he immediately realized that she had been drinking and couldn't help but snort coldly: "None of your business."

"Hey, that's not the right attitude," she pouted in dissatisfaction.

"I apologize for my rudeness, Your Excellency." Chu Gexing turned his head away from him. Although he apologized verbally, he seemed completely unconcerned.

Tang Leyan raised an eyebrow. She gripped her hand tightly and said, "My deputy envoy is truly loved by everyone, and flowers bloom for her."

"What do you mean?" Chu Gexing remained calm, without even raising an eyebrow.

"Wait a minute, don't make an excuse to slip away. I'll tell you when I'm done comforting the princess." She patted his shoulder again, still not satisfied. You brat, you don't look so weak and fragile, like you'd collapse at the slightest breeze. You're actually quite muscular; I can't even budge you. Humph.

Chu Gexing glanced at her sideways and sneered, "Then you'd better hurry up, or you'll end up sleeping in the princess's room and I'll have to drag you out."

"You're just concerned about me, aren't you? Hehe." She wasn't offended. She waved her fan and swayed forward, muttering something like lyrics. Chu Gexing, who had already turned around, stopped when his curiosity got the better of him. He listened intently and heard something that sounded like "leaning against the railing north of the Agarwood Pavilion." He was so startled that he stopped in his tracks.

"Princess, don't worry. The Crown Prince is absolutely of impeccable character, and he's also dashing, has an exceptional air about him, and speaks with elegance and wit. He's practically the perfect husband material. You'll regret it for the rest of your life if you don't choose him..."

A series of shouts rang out, and someone nimbly jumped out of Princess Yinyue's room after opening the door.

As the door opened, someone inside shouted, "Leyan, I haven't finished speaking yet! Why are you running away? Come back here right now!"

"I have many things to attend to, I apologize to the princess." Tang Leyan quickly closed the door, shutting out Princess Yinyue's voice, before wiping the sweat from her forehead and turning around.

Suddenly meeting the gaze of the person behind him, an awkward expression flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure and smiled, saying, "My deputy envoy has been very well-behaved today."

Chu Gexing looked at her, then blinked, turned around, and slowly walked forward along the railing.

Tang Leyan called out, but he didn't stop. Tang Leyan had no choice but to lift her robe and chase after him.

Although the inn was not very large, it was exquisitely decorated, exuding the elegant atmosphere of a Jiangnan waterside pavilion.

The most common flower in the garden is the camellia, which comes in various colors and varieties. There are also some unknown exotic flowers and plants, some of which emit a rich fragrance.

In Shundu, it's already freezing cold with snow and ice, but here, it feels like spring has arrived, with flowers in full bloom and butterflies just missing. It's definitely not the right season.

Tang Leyan turned her head to look, thinking to herself, no wonder Chu Gexing was stunned by what she saw; it was indeed worth seeing.

He had always lived in Shundu and had never seen such a magnificent scene before. It was not surprising that he was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, he remembered that Ling Jiuyan had seen him before, which meant that he had also been to Danning before. But when exactly?

"Didn't you have something to tell me? Why aren't you saying it?" Chu Gexing asked.

Tang Leyan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Oh right, I almost forgot."
