"No Wedding Unless Enemies and Lovers" 《不是冤家不拜堂》Chapter 69

 "Bang" a crisp echo resounded from the room, Ji Ling Xue graceful sat on the chair, wearing a light pink brocade embroidered dress, with a graceful lily hairstyle, a red bead flower hairpin stuck to the side, her hand holding a large red apple as she bit in large mouthfuls.

Hearing Xiao Yi Chen's yell, Ji Ling Xue calmly raised her head, slowly chewing and swallowing the food in her mouth, only after did she reply: "Prince, it's so late already why aren't you asleep, there's a thunderstorm outside, why are you running all over the place, fortunately the lightning just now didn't strike you."

Xiao Yi Chen's lips twitched, taking in a deep breath, after looking Ji Ling Xue up and down he asked: "When did you move here?"

Why was he acting crazy just now, why did he think this stupid woman Ji Ling Xue would be struck by lightning, so worried that he dug three metres deep to find her?

Xiao Yi Chen clenched the hands hanging by his side tightly, he wasn't sure if it was because he had been in the rain for too long, now his entire body was cold.

Ji Ling Xue tapped her fingertips against her thumb seriously calculating, only then did she say: "An hour ago, I saw that lightning and thunder was hovering noisily over the side courtyard, I was scared so I took Mo Xiang here to stay, I heard from the housekeeper all the furniture is new here, I thought why not just move in today instead of fixing an auspicious date."

Xiao Yi Chen's lips twitched, lifting his hand to rub his sore head, then his nose felt very itchy and he sneezed.

Ji Ling Xue said: "Prince, you're completely soaked, why are you still standing here like a pole, quickly take a hot bath and change into clean clothes, you'll catch a cold like this."

Xiao Yi Chen's face darkened, Ji Ling Xue would actually chase him away without regard like this. Maybe his self-respect was acting up, he turned around to Mo Xiang who was kneeling by the door, angrily saying: "Why are you still there, didn't you hear what your princess said, quickly go prepare hot water for this prince, this prince needs to immediately bathe and change."

Mo Xiang looked at Xiao Yi Chen flabbergasted, it's true the prince was very angry, but he wasn't angry at the princess, not only that, but he surprisingly wanted to stay here.

Ji Ling Xue raised her head to look at Xiao Yi Chen, cursing him in her mind: Don't you have a new concubine to favour, don't day say a concubine is better than a wife, you should go find Zi Su for comfort?

Xiao Yi Chen turned around to coincidentally meet Ji Ling Xue's eyes, he raised an eyebrow asking: "This prince will stay here tonight, are you not happy?"

If it was Ji Yu Qing, she would be so happy that she would throw herself at him hugging and kissing.

Ji Ling Xue shrugged, giving a signal to Mo Xiang at the door, "Mo Xiang, hurry and heat up hot water for the prince, the prince had been soaked in the rain, go prepare a medicinal bath immediately, treat an illness when ill and take precaution when not."

"Yes." Mo Xiang nodded, quickly leaving.

The housekeeper was also quick-witted, seeing there was nothing to do with him, he silently left.

Ji Yu Qing stood by the window taking in the cold wind, seeing the downpour outside, a black umbrella became gradually clearer through the curtain of rain, approaching the eaves, it was a stranger under the umbrella, this was the newest maid assigned to her Zi Ye.

Ji Yu Qing looked down, her long eyelashes concealed the disappointment in her eyes, Xiao Yi Chen still hadn't come tonight, he had taken Zi Su as a concubine, he ought to be resting at her place right now...

"Imperial concubine...why aren't you resting yet?" Zi Ye closed her umbrella, walking to Ji Yu Qing's side, putting a jacket over her, "The night air is cold with the wind and rain, you should take care of your body."

Zi Ye was a considerate girl, Ji Yu Qing was very satisfied.

Ji Yu Qing said: "Just now it was thundering and lightning, I couldn't really sleep, is the prince's residence alright?"

Zi Ye honestly replied, "When I was coming here I saw the housekeeper leading the guards to the side courtyard, I heard lightning had struck the roof of the side courtyard..."

Ji Yu Qing's eyes brightened, the woman she hated the most lived in the side courtyard, hearing something happened to the side courtyard, she naturally was happy.
