Chapter 48 Flattery Backfires

"Your Highness...you've arrived without a word, so I could have sent someone to fetch you!" Yun Ting said with a fawning expression.

Yun Juan couldn't stand his expression and rolled her eyes in exasperation!

"You may all step back!" Murong Qian ignored Yun Ting and spoke directly to the people kneeling on the ground.

The Seventh Princess and the others fled as if they had received a pardon, fearing that if they were the last ones to be caught, Murong Qian would call them back!

"Oh... Prime Minister Yun! I've come to see how my betrothed is doing in the Prime Minister's residence!" Murong Qian's casual words reached Yun Ting's ears, sending a chill down his spine!

What? Has the Regent agreed to this arranged marriage? Or is he just putting on a show for everyone to save face?

Yun Ting's heart was in turmoil at this moment; he couldn't quite figure out Murong Qian's thoughts!

Yun Juan, on the other hand, sat on a stone bench in the garden, took out a handful of melon seeds, and watched the two of them confront each other.

No, it should be watching Murong Qian unilaterally slaughter everyone!

"Yun Juan! What kind of talk is this! The Prince is still here, you come here right now!" Yun Ting's reprimanding voice reached Yun Juan's ears.

Yun Juan pointed to herself uncertainly, as if to say, "You mean me?"

"Stop looking! I'm talking to you, get over here right now! The Prince isn't angry with you, and you're getting too cocky!" Yun Ting pointed directly at Yun Juan!

Upon hearing Yun Ting's words, Murong Qian frowned immediately. Was this how he scolded his little princess when he wasn't around?

"Speak your mind! I'm tired, I can't stand up!" Yun Juan put the sunflower seeds in her hand into her small bag and patted the crumbs off her hands!

Yun Quan chose this small bag herself; it's the most popular new Chinese style and matches her outfit perfectly today!

"You dare to act like this in front of the Prince? If I don't teach you a lesson in a few days, you'll start to embarrass yourself!"

"Your Highness, please excuse my rudeness. This child has always been raised on a country estate and has just returned, so he may not be used to it yet!" Yun Ting lowered his head, looking like he was waiting for Murong Qian to scold him. Yun Qian couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

This flattery is completely misplaced, yet they keep going on and on!

That's really brave! He's truly unafraid of the horse kicking up its tail!

"Prime Minister Yun! So this is how you treated my little princess in the manor?" Murong Qian's face darkened.

Upon hearing this, Yun Ting wondered if he had said something wrong.

What does he mean by that?

"Father! Why are you still here! The whole front hall is looking for you!" Yun Rong said coquettishly, her voice melodious and clear, like a nightingale singing in a valley.

With her graceful figure and light, delicate steps, she walked gracefully to her father.

Her beauty was as exquisite as a blooming flower, captivating all who beheld her.

Her fair, snow-white skin was flushed with a faint blush, like the morning glow reflecting on white jade.

Her arched eyebrows resembled distant mountains shrouded in mist, and her slightly upturned eyes revealed a touch of playfulness and liveliness.

Her lips were painted with bright red lipstick, like ripe cherries, alluring and sweet.

"Oh, my sister is here too! And who is this?" Yun Rong looked at Murong Qian, a hint of shyness on her face!

Yun Juan took a look and exclaimed, "Oh ho, this is interesting! Is this a case of a turtle eyeing a mung bean, and they've hit it off?"

"Rong'er, don't be rude. This is the most trusted person of the current emperor—the Regent. Why don't you pay your respects to the Prince?" Yun Ting reprimanded him sternly, but his words revealed a hint of doting affection.

"Oh, I see! Rong'er greets Your Highness, may Your Highness live a thousand years!" Yun Rong suddenly realized and hurriedly performed a deep bow to express her respect for the prince.

Her voice carried a hint of allure, making people turn their heads involuntarily.

Clearly, she was talking to a brick wall. Murong Qian didn't even ask her to get up, so Yun Rong could only maintain her bowing posture!

"Miss Yun, would you be free to come to the Regent's Palace tomorrow? We recently acquired some seafood, and the people in the palace aren't quite sure how to prepare it!" Murong Qian actually wanted to invite Yun Juan, but he was afraid she would refuse, so he made up an excuse, hoping to take this opportunity to meet her.

He secretly thought that if he expressed his feelings directly, it might put pressure on Yun Juan or make her feel disgusted, so he chose this indirect approach.

Yun Juan was slightly taken aback by Murong Qian's words, thinking to herself that the chefs in the Regent's Palace were all imperial chefs, so how could they not know how to cook seafood?

However, she didn't want to directly expose Murong Qian's lie, so she smiled and said, "In that case, I'll go and take a look tomorrow."

Murong Qian was overjoyed to hear Yun Juan agree and quickly said, "Then thank you very much, Miss Yun."

He was worried that Yun Juan would refuse, but he didn't expect her to agree so easily.

It seems that my plan is still feasible to some extent.

Yun Rong stood to the side, her face almost swollen with anger, her eyes filled with fury and dissatisfaction.

Watching the two of them being all lovey-dovey, it was as if they had completely forgotten everything around them, especially the fact that they were bowing.

Their intimate interaction made Yunrong feel extremely embarrassed and angry.

She felt ignored, and even felt insulted.

Have they really forgotten their own existence?

Or was he deliberately showing off their affection in front of her?

Regardless, Yun Rong found this behavior intolerable, and her anger grew stronger and stronger, wishing she could rush forward immediately to interrupt their sweet moment.

"Your Highness..." Yun Rong softly called out. Her large, watery eyes were glistening with tears, as pitiful as dewdrops rolling on lotus leaves in the morning.

Her pitiful and endearing appearance evoked feelings of pity in people.

"No need for formalities, Miss Yun! I forgot to tell you to get up, and you didn't even realize it!" Murong Qian's words made Yun Rong want to vomit blood!

Yun Juan almost burst out laughing. This was like throwing a bucket of cold water on someone and then stabbing them in the heart!

That's absolutely ruthless! Yun Rong had just used all her charms, trying to appear pitiful and charming, but Murong Qian remained unmoved, like a hard stone!

Yun Rong was filled with hatred for Yun Juan, staring at her fiercely as if she wanted to devour her alive.

Yun Juan couldn't help but complain in her heart: "Well, I've gotten myself into trouble again today! You say you're surrounded by suitors! I always end up getting dragged into this mess for no reason!"

She couldn't help but glare at Murong Qian, who stood beside her, seemingly indifferent to the situation!

You're always causing me trouble. Can't you just stay quiet and behave for a while?
