Empress Running Away With The Ball

ch. 139-140

Chapter 139: More of a man than he was

The more infatuated she was, the more disgusted Ye Ting Xuan was, avoiding her like a poisonous snake. As long as he heard the eldest princess' name, he would try to get as far away as possible.

The eldest princess did not give up, emboldened with every set back. She had pestered Ye Ting Xuan for a full three years now and now none of the other officials dared to engage their daughters to Ye Ting Xuan.

This was an uproar that everyone knew about. It had already become one the staple things that people gossiped about.

Seeing that Eldest Princess An Le's carriage was now in sight, Chu Shao Yang revealed a bitter smile on his face.

Speaking of Ye Ting Xuan, he was quick witted, proud, and filled with integrity. He had already sent people three times to convince him to work under him, but he had always been rejected.

Although he was just a lowly official, he did not have any interest to raise his position or use his position to put on appearances.

If he could marry royal aunt, then that would be a great thing.

But the gods have decided not to fulfill this dream.

Thinking of this, Chu Shao Yang couldn't help thinking it was unfair for the eldest princess.

Before the carriage could stop, Eldest Princess An Le could not wait to step out of the cart.

She was wearing men's clothing like usual. With a straight back and a fearless manner, she had an azure coloured belt with an imperial treasure sword hanging there.

Her face was sharp and her brows were thick, not having the slightest trace of feminine charm at all. Compared to the handsome Chu Shao Yang, she seemed even more like a man than he did!

Seeing this kind of eldest princess, Chu Shao Yang couldn't help thinking, if he was Ye Ting Xuan, he would also run away from her.

"Royal Aunt!" Chu Shao Yang gave a laugh and stepped forward to greet her.

He had grown up together with his eldest princess royal aunt, practicing martial arts together. Although they were from different generations, they were around the same age and deeply loved each other.

Eldest Princess An Le was expressionless, without a single smile on her face. He looked at him once and then walked into the palace, her steps even larger than his.

"Where is your princess? Bring me to see her." She directly said.

Chu Shao Yang was surprised. Although he had already heard that Housekeeper Xu had gone to visit Chen Ning, he had also heard that there were problems.

From what he could remember, his royal aunt had never met Chen Ning before. So why would she go and see that cheap woman for no reason?"

"Royal aunt, princess Chen......She has tuberculosis and the condition is very heavy. The doctor said that it was very easy for her to spread the disease and royal aunt is so noble, you should take care of your body. Your nephew has already sent medical treatment to her. After she recovers, your nephew will bring her to visit royal aunt. That's right, royal aunt, you haven't come to your nephew's palace in quite a bit. Your nephew has learned a new palm technique and wanted to ask royal aunt for some guidance."

Chu Shao Yang smiled and said, trying to distract the eldest princess.

He knew that the eldest princess loved martial arts and loved to fight with others, but as the princess, who dared to fight against her?

Normally she would pull out guards from the palace to spar with, but how could those guards have the courage to even point a single finger at her? Otherwise, their heads would have long been separated from their bodies.

So she just kept hitting them and those guards stood there like they were made of wood, not making a single move. This was just her hitting thin air which wasn't fun at all.

In the entire capital, the only person that could dare to fight against her was her royal nephew Chu Shao Yang.

Chapter 140: Crows are normally black

Of course, Chu Shao Yang would not be completely serious and only make moves at the right time. He would even deliberately reveal show a mistake and allow the eldest princess to taste a bit of sweetness.

Even though the eldest princess could not beat him, it was much more fun than fighting against the palace guards.

So whenever the eldest princess was in a foul mood, she would always show up at Chu Shao Yang's house uninvited and fight with him.

In the past, whenever she heard the words "comparing notes", the eldest princess' eyes would alway light up and pull him straight to the practice grounds.

Who would have thought that this move from Chu Shao Yang would fail today.

The eldest princess did not even consider it before shaking her head, "You might want to compare notes, but this princess is in no mood to teach a stinky brat like you today. Hey, stop talking so much, take me to see your princess quickly, this princess must see her today. This princess has brought a lot of precious medicine and the best doctors in the country, so no matter how sick she is, this princess will still cure her!"

Chu Shao Yang secretly complained in his heart, but he did not dare go against the eldest princess' will. He could only laugh and say, "Then please wait a minute royal aunt. I'll let someone notify princess Chen to prepare her to welcome royal aunt."

He could not understand it all no matter how much he thought about it. How could Chen Ning enter into his royal aunt's eyes and make her bring the best doctors in the country to treat her?

If she could really cure her......He would encounter even more trouble in the future!

The eldest princess frowned and said in an unhappy voice, "What greetings? This princess does not like those kind of ceremonies. Where does she live? If you don't want to see her, this princess will go by herself."

After she finished speaking, her phoenix eyes narrowed as she coldly looked at Chu Shao Yang, "Stinky brat, this princess had thought you were different but it seems like all crows are black in this world. You are just like those stinky men, marrying one after another. You just married someone and then you take their little sister as a concubine three days later. If you didn't love her in the past, why did you even marry her! Since you've married her, if you don't treat her well, you will be despised by all the women in the world!"

Chu Shao Yang was scolded by her until his face turned red and blue. He was opening his mouth to say something, but the eldest princess waved her hand and ignored him as she said, "Stop wasting time, where does Chen Ning live? Peach Blossom Cove or Flowing Cloud Pavilion?"

She was very familiar with the King Ding Yuan Palace and said the two best locations right away.

Chu Shao Yang revealed an embarrassed expression as he hesitantly said, "The Peach Blossom Cove is your nephew's favourite place and he has never let outsiders take a single step in......"

Before he could finished, the eldest princess cut him off, "Then it must be the Flowing Cloud Pavilion. You can go and accompany your concubine, this princess will go to the Flowing Cloud Pavilion by herself."

She did not even look back at Chu Shao Yang as she directly walked toward the Flowing Cloud Pavilion with large strides.

From the moment she had stepped off her carriage, she had not smiled at Chu Shao Yang at all. It was clear that she was very displeased with him.

She had a very close relationship with her nephew and had never put on this kind of elder appearance in front of him before. This was the first time she had scolded him this sternly.

Even though Chu Shao Yang was given the cold shoulder, she was his royal aunt so he didn't dare say anything. He just swallowed his dissatisfaction as he followed behind her.

"Royal aunt, let's go to the practice field and exercise a little. Your nephew has learned a new powerful set of palm techniques. Royal aunt wouldn't be afraid of nephew and be afraid to test it out, right?"

He deliberately provoked her trying to stall for more time.

Because he knew that Chen Ning wouldn't be at the Flowing Cloud Pavilion.
