"No Wedding Unless Enemies and Lovers" 《不是冤家不拜堂》Chapter 123

 Ji Ling Xue blinked, looking up at the still snowing sky, smiling very complacently, "Older cousin, you came to see me on such a heavy snow day for what reason?"


"Older cousin" beckoned her with his finger cheerfully, "Get in the carriage, I'll take you somewhere."


Ji Ling Xue respectfully bowed, getting into the carriage, the carriage turned disappearing into the heavy fluttering snow...


Mo Xiang ran out of the residence holding an umbrella and cloak to only see the carriage disappear, she uttered, "On such a cold day, where does that older cousin want to take princess?"


The news of Ji Ling Xue being taken away by her older cousin floated into Ji Yu Qing's ears like a snowflake, Ji Yu Qing sneered holding hand heater: "Ji Ling Xue shouldn't be having an affair with that older cousin right, on such a heavy snow day, the prince just happens to not be at the residence, she ran out to meet a man..."


Atchoo! Ji Ling Xue sneezed in the carriage for no reason pulling her chin down, she had forgotten to wear a cloak, it was such a tragedy.


There was a heater in the carriage, it warmed up very quickly, Ji Ling Xue rubbed her nose, smiling at her "older cousin", "Emperor, why did you leave the palace, you caught be unprepared, a very pleasant surprise, in reverence before your majesty."


Xiao Yi Mo's lips twitched, glancing at Ji Ling Xue, "Call us older cousin, it's pleasing to our ears." 


Ji Ling Xue's forehead was filled with black lines, emperor don't you think calling you that is against seniority?


Ji Ling Xue coughed, confirming she didn't dare, "Emperor wants to go where with this subordinate?" Ji Ling Xue prepared to refer to herself as "your servant", using subordinate, indicated her respect to the emperor.


Xiao Yi Mo said: "Let's go to Qingfengyashe, I heard there are more dishes there than you had made for me in the palace,  we obviously have to go and try, fortunately it's snowing today, there's nothing to do."


Ji Ling Xue laughed, "Fine, it's this subordinate's honour to accompany emperor."


So he wanted to freeload a meal, he was the emperor after all? Will this emperor tell her to personally cook for him.


Xiao Yi Chen waved his hand: "Younger cousin don't need to be polite, hearing you calling yourself this subordinate, this subordinate, I'm really not used to it, we're family, there's no harm in addressing yourself as "I"."


Ji Ling Xue gave a giggle, it was awkward she didn't know how to carry on the conversation, she heard Xiao Yi Chen say: "We heard, younger cousin thought of the cooking competition? Could younger cousin want to compete with the chefs in the whole of China?"


Ji Ling Xue gave an ah, giving a silly giggle: "How can you think of me like this tonight, I am giving the capital an even more festive atmosphere for the new year, raise more money." She was worried for the nation and the people, and help emperor fill the state treasury, don't make her sound so greedy.


Xiao Yi Mo nodded, rubbing his chin: "En, when imperial brother brought it up, we questioned how he could have come up with a cooking competition, of course it was younger cousin's idea."


Ji Ling Xue: E...she managed to worm her way out with the emperor...


Xiao Yi Mo said again: "Recently we were thinking of giving the winner of the cooking competition a thousand golds, do you think it's too little or should I add something else...younger cousin what do you think?"


Ji Ling Xue blinked, what did she hear just now, first prize was actually a thousand golds...a thousand...golds...


Ji Ling Xue's mind was filled with her surrounded by dazzling gold, until Xiao Yi Mo poked her forehead, her head cleared.


Ji Ling Xue smiled: "That...emperor what did you say just now?"


Xiao Yi Mo shook his head, repeating what he said just now, it was then when the carriage driver said: "Lord, lady, we've arrived at Qingfengyashe."


Xiao Yi Mo gave an en, pushing aside the carriage curtain he looked outside, in the snow, the red flag tossed about in the wind.


Xiao Yi Mo put the curtain back down, pointing at the white cloak beside him he said: "It's windy and snowing outside, wear it, if you catch a cold, imperial brother will blame us."


Ji Ling Xue quickly said thanks, putting on the white fox fur cloak hurriedly, her entire body was wrapped in fluff, she was very warm instantly, 


The two of them left the carriage one after the other, through the wind and snow they entered Qingfengyashe, the aroma of food floated about, making their stomach rumble as they entered, wanting a bowl of soup to warm up.


Xiao Yi Mo who was just coming down the stairs suddenly stopped, Chi Feng who followed behind him walked into his back, holding his nose in pain, "Ow...prince, why did you suddenly stop, ow...my nose..."


Xiao Yi Chen looked back at Chi Feng with a cold gaze, Chi Feng immediately shut up, blinking he looked in the direction Xiao Yi Chen had been looking at, the next moment, he opened his mouth so wide it almost touched the floor, my heavens, he wasn't imagining this right...


"Prince...prince...that...isn't that your princess?" The overly suthan rprised Chi Feng even stuttered a little, what did he see, princess was a wife having an illicit lover, who was that tall man in white next to her?


Xiao Yi Chen was a little fidgety, he glanced at Chi Feng, the two of them immediately retreated back to the private room on the second floor.


Chi Feng: Prince, are you going to catch an adulterous couple in the act?


At this moment Ji Ling Xue and Xiao Yi Mo who had just entered hadn't noticed them, the two of them put on an act of asking if there was a private room, afterwards they were taken upstairs by Xiao Si, exactly next to Xiao Yi Chen.


Xiao Yi Chen stuck to the wall listening to what was being said next door, Chi Feng seeing this, also stuck his ear to the wall in gossip.


The other side, Xiao Yi Mo handed the menu to Ji Ling Xue, "What's good to eat here, I'm sure younger sister knows the best."


Ji Ling Xue ordered without hesitating, "Then bring all of the signature dishes out."

Xiao Yi Mo nodded, indicating he had no opinion, very soon the dishes filled the table.


Xiao Yi Mo looked at the dishes, picking up his chopsticks he took a piece of meat to taste, clicking his tongue he sighed: "Having eaten so much of your food, only this place offers satisfactory food."


Ji Ling Xue smiled: "Then eat more..."


Xiao Yi Mo continued his previous topic, "Younger sister thinks what other reward should be given?"


Ji Ling Xue said: "To a chef, nothing can make them happier than when they discover a new dish then get recognition and praise from their customers, above all the approval of the supreme emperor!"


Xiao Yi Mo happily laughed out loud, "Younger cousin really has a sweet mouth, we finally know why your younger sister is prettier than you yet imperial brother likes to bring you out."


Ji Ling Xue smiled, why did Xiao Yi Chen bring her out? Maybe he felt like it was honourable to bring an imperial concubine, he would be laughed at, she was after all the princess.


Xiao Yi Mo again said: "It really is a pity if younger cousin doesn't participate in the cooking competition, we were looking forward to tasting younger cousin's new dish..."


Ji Ling Xue smiled shaking her head, "My prince will get angry if he saw me showing my face in public."


Xiao Yi Mo burst into laughter, "Seeing the loving affection between you two, we are gratified."


Next door, Xiao Yi Chen's lips twitched, who was he, so it was his bored imperial brother who came to mingle with people incognito.


Xiao Yi Chen patted the dust from his body walking out.


Chi Feng immediately followed after him, he thought Xiao Yi Chen was going to rush into the private room next door, he didn't expect him to leave calmly.


Walking out of Qingfengyashe, Xiao Yi Chen turned to glance at the board on the door, he rode to the military drill ground.


On this side, Xiao Yi Mo leaned back on his chair having eaten his fill, his mood was very good right now, a trace of a smile on his face, maybe outside of the palace, he didn't have to maintain his posture as an emperor, his mood was a lot better.


He tilted his head to look at the tightly closed window, "It should have stopped snowing outside."


Ji Ling Xue stood up walking over to the window and opened it, seeing the outside covered in white, she smiled: "The snow has stopped, quite a few people are making snowmen!"


Xiao Yi Mo walked to the window to take a look, Xiao Si and a few waiters from the restaurant were making snowmen and having a snowball fight, their laughter travelled upstairs.


Xiao Yi Mo smiled: "I'm really jealous of those youngsters who can play wilfully like children."


Ji Ling Xue tilted her head having heard what was said, "Your majesty isn't old, how can you speak so negatively, it doesn't suit your age at all."


Xiao Yi Mo coughed, assuming a majestic manner, "You are teasing us?"


Ji Ling Xue's forehead was filled with black lines, quickly saying she didn't dare, lifting her hand to grab the snow on the window frame she through it in the direction of Xiao Yi Mo's ear, chuckling: "Hehe, your majesty wants to play with snow, I can accompany you."


The snow scraped past Xiao Yi Mo's ear, it fell over the roof just on top of Xiao Si who was rolling a snowball, Xiao Si raised his head in surprise, he saw it was Ji Ling Xue, his eyes glistened, waving his hand at Ji Ling Xue, "Young lady is here anyway,  come down to play."


Ji Ling Xue pulled on Xiao Yi Mo's sleeve, "Let's go, we can play together downstairs."


Seeing Ji Ling Xue wasn't scared of his imposing manner at all, Xiao Yi Mo sighed, and didn't put on a cold face anymore, he was dragged downstairs by Ji Ling Xue.


Just as they were about to stepped out of the door, a large round snowball came flying at them, Ji Ling Xue shrieked, turning to hide behind Xiao Yi Mo.


Xiao Yi Mo's face darkened, his majestic emperor self, was being used as a shield by someone, he raised his leg kicking the stool in front of him, the stool spun in the air, blocking the incoming snowball, the snowball instantly fell apart.


A loud laugh came from outside, Xiao Si immediately ran away, Xiao Yi Mo waved the snowflakes away from his face, Ji Ling Xue who was hiding behind Xiao Yi Mo clapped in reverence, "Wa, lord, you really are too cool!"


Xiao Yi Mo lifted his lips slightly, he knew martial arts since he was young, he hadn't moved about in a long time, it felt a little unfamiliar.


Xiao Yi Mo swept his gaze over the snow, he could instantly see the sneaky Xiao Si hiding, he raised his leg kicking the clumps of snow in front of him, the snow instantly solidified in the air into a ball, flying towards Xiao Si's buttocks, with a pa, Xiao Si fell on the ground, the snowball blossomed into a flower on his buttocks.


Xiao Si's face was scrunched up into a ball from pain as he was sprawled in the snow, snow had hit him yet why did it feel like he had been slapped, it was only a snowball fight, why was the young lady being so serious.


Ji Ling Xue pushed Xiao Yi Chen aside walking out onto the snow, seeing Xiao Si sprawled there motionless, she walked over, "Hey, are you alright?"


Xiao Si got up, patting the snow from his body, asking quietly, "I'm fine, young lady, who is that gentleman who came with you?"


Ji Ling Xue looked toward Xiao Yi Mo standing at the door with a face that said strangers do not approach, "He...is my older cousin." The emperor's golden mouth said this.
