"No Wedding Unless Enemies and Lovers" 《不是冤家不拜堂》Chapter 86

 Xiao Yi Chen said: "Why are you standing, let's eat." As he spoke he took the lead and sat down first.

Ji Ling Xue had thick skin, forcing aside Ji Yu Qing who was planning to sit next to Xiao Yi Chen, sitting her bottom down, in passing telling the two of them to give out the bowls.

Ji Yu Qing was so angry her little face turned pale, wanting to complain, she saw Xiao Yi Chen holding Ji Ling Xue's hand, like he was warning her, he was protecting Ji Ling Xue.

Ji Yu Qing with a pale face, didn't eat much, using the excuse that her body wasn't feeling well she returned to her room.

Zi Su stood beside Xiao Yi Chen waiting upon him as he ate, following Ji Yu Qing as she left alone a slight smile appeared on her lips.

Ji Ling Xue took her hand out of Xiao Yi Chen's, taking out a handkerchief she wiped her hand, her obsession with cleanliness made the offended Xiao Yi Chen frown.

Xiao Yi Chen coughed once: "This prince will go participate in a poetry gathering, come with this prince."

Ji Ling Xue used a spoon to poke at the bowl of congee in front of her, "I'm tired, I want to get some beauty sleep."

Xiao Yi Chen: "It's also very comfortable to sleep in the carriage, this prince will lend you his shoulder to lean on."

Ji Ling Xue curled her lips in distain.

Xiao Yi Chen: "Princess has agreed, someone come, help princess freshen up and get dressed."

Two fresh-faced maids appeared from somewhere, respectfully greeted them, and invited Ji Ling Xue to follow them.

Ji Ling Xue refused: "I'm used to Mo Xiang serving me."

Xiao Yi Chen said: "These two were carefully nurtured by this prince, they are proficient in arranging clothing and personal adornment, they can do hundreds of hairstyles, not as bad as Mo Xiang, the two of you serve the princess well, if the princess is dissatisfied, you don't have to stay in the residence."

Ji Ling Xue looked at the two maids with heavy burdens, she sighed putting down the spoon in her hand she got up and followed them.

Following Ji Ling Xue's figure with his eyes, a slight smile appeared on Xiao Yi Chen's lips.

Zi Su said: "Prince, just now princess didn't eat much, this concubine will prepare some light refreshments, prince can bring them along just in case."

Xiao Yi Chen nodded, tilting his head to glance at the thoughtful Zi Su, "Fine, go prepare."

Zi Su lowered her head responding with a yes she left, a profound jealousy flashed in her eyes.

Ji Ling Xue was led to a side room, on the table in the room sparkling gems filled the eyes as jewellery of all sorts were spread out, a large wardrobe set on the ground was open, sets of exquisite satin dresses hung everywhere, the embroidery was delicate, a light purple crane embroidered dress hung in one corner of the wardrobe.

Ji Ling Xue said: "The clothes and adornments in this room had cleared out a store?" This was too much, even if the prince's residence was wealthy there was no need to waste money on clothes and jewellery right?

One of the maids said: "The prince specially ordered us to prepare it, prince said princess's clothes have to be presentable."

Ji Ling Xue's lips twitched, this was a hint at her that her appearance wasn't presentable enough and made prince Chen lose face, that's why he moved an entire shop of clothes and jewellery to let her broaden her horizons?

Ji Ling Xue said: "This princess shall decide what to wear today?"

The maids nodded, picking up a set of clothes to show to Ji Ling Xue, the first maids said: "Princess, do you think this outfit is good, this dress is body-hugging, high waist design, it can perfectly bring out your figure."

The second maid said: "Princess, the one in this servants hands is made of natural silk, the material is light, airy and waterproof and dirt resistant, the elegant design is also very original and unique, look at the crane embroidered on the sleeves, it was embroidered with the finest natural silk, also cranes are a symbol of prosperity and longevity, white from head to toe reflect the innocence and elegance of the crane, and represent power and good fortune."

Ji Ling Xue looked left then right, pointing at the light purple crane skirt she said, "Princess will wear that one."

Ji Ling Xue looked at herself with a satisfied smile in the copper mirror, she couldn't help but admit the two maids arranged by Xiao Yi Chen were very skilled in fashion, the her in the mirror was dignified and magnanimous, the gentleness and beauty of a woman was entirely brought out.

The second maid was helping Ji Ling Xue brush her long hair with a comb in her hand, sighing uncontrollably she said: "Princess is so beautiful, if prince sees, he would regret bringing princess out." As she spoke she covered her mouth and smiled.

Ji Ling Xue was embarrassed by the teasing, her charm didn't seem to be that great? What's more, she had no interest in seducing Xiao Yi Chen.

While Xiao Yi Chen was pacing in front of the carriage, Ji Ling Xue walked out with her skirt raised, Xiao Yi Chen turned his head on hearing a sound, that was the most unforgettable moment of his life, it was the face that he was most familiar with, but with a change of exquisite clothing she brightened up, like a fairy dropping into the secular world.

When Ji Ling Xue walked to Xiao Yi Chen, she waved at him: "What's wrong with you!"

Xiao Yi Chen moved his gaze away, the beautiful scene disappeared as he remained silent.

"Let's go." Having spoken he turned and got in the carriage.

Ji Ling Xue raised an eyebrow, stroking her own cheek, lifting up her skirt she boarded the carriage.
