I Am This Type of Woman

Chapter 51

The atmosphere at once turned very awkward, onlookers around felt awkward on behalf of Shi Feixian.

Shi Feixian walked up to Akeqi, smiled lightly at him, "Your Highness has not seen This Little Woman's face, listening to hearsay and proposing right away is a little hasty."

Akeqi found this miss wasn't angry at his mistake, he was so lost that he didn't know where to place his limbs, "Zaixia admires Miss' reputation as a talented lady, please give zaixia a chance."

* zaixia 在下 = myself (humble)

Reputation as a talented lady?

Shi Feixian smiled lightly, curtseying to Akeqi, she said to him neither too fast or too slowly, "Your Highness is joking." Without waiting for Akeqi to respond, she held onto her maid's hand and walked down the stairs. Her feet were a little quick but still utterly elegant, each step was neither too wide or too small, looking extremely dignified.

Akeqi smiled drily and touched his face. Daye ladies were said to like men with smooth faces, so before coming to the Palace he had shaved off the beard that used to be his pride, however based on Miss Shi's reaction, his shaved face didn't attract her.

He looked at Ban Hua with a question, was Miss Shi angry to him?

As an innocent passerby getting roped in, Ban Hua upheld the fine style of Daye bystanders, which was to refrain from excessive talk if you could just watch the fun while cracking melon seeds. At the puzzled eyes of this prince's, Ban Hua gave him a profound and mysterious smile, then curtseyed and turned to leave, showing him the shadow of her beautiful backside.

From the beginning to the end, she didn't speak not a word to the prince.

Akeqi rubbed his eyes. This mysterious girl was clearly the more beautiful one. He had been watching for a long time today, she was the most beautiful girl in the hall that even Daye young men couldn't stop stealing glances at her, and she wasn't the first beauty?

He rubbed his chin in anguish, his eyes must had problem.

In the horse carriage, Ban Hua couldn't stop herself laughing and pounding on the cushion.

Rong Xia was riding near Ban Hua's carriage, he could hear the faint sound of laughter from inside. He saw Shi Jin and a few other gongzi's were riding over to them.

Rong Xia covered his mouth with a hand and coughed a few times, "Zaixia is Rong Xia, have to bother Junzhu."

The carriage was suddenly silent. After a while, the curtain was opened from inside, a face that still had traces of laughter appeared. Rong Xia noticed her eyes were extraordinarily moist, had she been crying or laughing that even tears came out?

"Count Rong?" Ban Hua said with a question, "Is there anything?"

"Nothing." The sound of horse hooves from behind was getting closer, he smiled lightly, "Tonight is snowing heavily, please Junzhu travel slowly and be safe."

Night breeze blew over, drifting snowflakes scattered along with the breeze, specks of snowflakes fell on the shoulders and soon amassed into a thin layer of snow.

"Many thanks for Master Count's concern." Ban Hua saw the snow on top of Rong Xia's head, "Your guards don't have an umbrella?"

Rong Xia looked at Du Jiu behind him, "No, but the cloak is enough."

Ban Hua stretched a hand out of the window, drifting snowflakes fell on her hand like goose feather. Looking at the handsome face of Rong Xia's, she turned her back to get an umbrella from inside the carriage, "If Count Rong doesn't mind, please use mine."
