"No Wedding Unless Enemies and Lovers" 《不是冤家不拜堂》Chapter 114

 Ji Ling Xue looked at Xiao Yi Chen in disbelieve, "When prince married my younger sister, did you also say the same thing?"

Xiao Yi Chen frowned as he asked: "Ji Ling Xue, what do you mean?" After going through so much, she still didn't believe he was sincere towards her?

Ji Ling Xue pushed Xiao Yi Chen away taking a few steps back: "Your love is too cheap, I don't value it." She finished speaking, turned and left.

Xiao Yi Chen gritted his teeth, what did this woman mean?

Xiao Yi Chen turned storming off in a huff, Ji Ling Xue that woman was really stubborn, she couldn't be moved no matter what, he didn't understand, it was reasonable for him to have wives and concubines as a prince, other residences were also the same, how can Ji Ling Xue look at him like this, and didn't please him?

The prince was very angry, the entire residence was shrouded under a tense atmosphere, the people in the residence worked even more cautiously.

Xiao Yi Chen zoned out sitting in his study for a long time before going to Bai Mo's bamboo house to take a breath of fresh air, two of them played some chess, Xiao Yi Chen's anger dissipated a bit.

Bai Mo made fun of him saying: "Prince seems to have a lot on your mind lately, why don't you tell me, maybe I can help you."

Xiao Yi Chen thought, no one could help him.

Bai Mo continued guessing: "It cant be because of a woman right, I haven't seen you so disheartened even on battlefields, you've become more indecisive since you've been at home?"

Xiao Yi Chen rubbed his forehead, sighing, "Bai Mo, I really miss the days at the border, the freedom and ease."

Bai Mo curled his lips: "Your mother empress doesn't want you to spend your life alone at the border, you should at least give the old woman a grandson to play with."

Xiao Yi Chen gave a helpless smile: "You really guessed correctly, last time mother empress called Ji Ling Xue and I into the palace to spend the night."

Bai Mo complied all the gossips, leaning close to Xiao Yi Chen he asked, "What happened that night, was it ecstasy, come, come, let me take your pulse, see if your kidney is weak."

Xiao Yi Chen's face darkened, slapping Bai Mo's hand away, "Go away, this prince's kidneys are fine."

Bai Mo gave a strange giggle, "Looking at you, you haven't wangled your princess, no wonder you're so worked up, haha."

Xiao Yi Chen was in a bad mood from the teasing, "Then what do you bachelor have to say, how can I deal with a woman?"

Bai Mo waved his hand at Xiao Yi Chen, smiling without showing his teeth, "Come, come, let me tell you how to get the admiration of a woman..."

Xiao Yi Chen leaned over in doubt.

Teacher Bai Mo earnestly said: "Actually a woman doesn't care about what you give her, if you care about her, understand her daily routine, know when she is most bored, go find her then to talk, take the initiative to share interesting things, if she isn't disgusted by you, every night before bed talk to her, then tell her good night. As time passes she will get used to your existence, your companionship, then on her birthday give her a little gift, the most important thing is to buy her something she wants but doesn't want to buy. Then confess, tell her you want to be faithful unto death, don't change your attitude once you've got her, if you've gone so far to choose her, you need to maintain this kind of patience and devotion!"

"Prince...prince, did you listen to what I said?" Seeing Xiao Yi Chen lost in thought for a moment, teacher Bai Mo kept a straight face, waving his hand in front of Xiao Yi Chen's face.

Xiao Yi Chen collected his thoughts, slapping his thigh: "What you said make sense, no wonder every time I tried to curry favour with her I hit a wall, I didn't find a way to convey my emotion..."

Last time at military drill ground Ji Ling Xue said she liked that purple wild flower, so he went to pick it. The prince who did what he said, stood up, leaving Bai Mo on the spot in the cold.

Bai Mo: e...what is he going to do? But he hoped he would succeed this time, if not, he would definitely come to scold him.

Ji Ling Xue who had woken up naturally having slept enough was relaxed and alert, calling out for Mo Xiang twice she didn't hear a response, Ji Ling Xue could only get up and dress herself, when she opened the door, Ji Ling Xue eyes blurred.

Ji Ling Xue rubbed her eyes, then opened her eyes again, she wasn't seeing things wrong, what she was looking at wasn't a bluestone floor, rather a green lawn, on the lawn were little purple flowers in full bloom, the sunshine was perfect, the little flowers swayed in the wind.

Mo Xiang was carrying a watering can watering the plants, hearing movement she turned rubbing the sweat on her forehead: "Princess, you're awake, isn't it pretty?"

Ji Ling Xue's lips twitched, she asked: "Who did this?"

Covering the perfectly fine bluestone paving into a lawn, it really was a pain in the arse, if it rained, how was she suppose to walk, it'll be water with each step.

Mo Xiang very honestly replied: "The prince, prince said princess likes this."

Ji Ling Xue rolled her eyes to the sky, What the hell was Xiao Yi Chen doing? He was stressing her out for no reason.

Ji Ling Xue said: "Where is the prince?"

Mo Xiang shook her head: "I think he left to do something..."

Ji Ling Xue pinched her chin in thought: "Then pack this lawn up in boxes and put them in the prince's study, also stick n a seal, apart from the prince no one can open it."

Mo Xiang's forehead was full of black lines hearing this, it seems the prince made the princess angry, when can these two masters reconcile, it was very hard for servants like her being caught in the middle.

Ji Ling Xue gave her instructions then turned around and shut the doors, Mo Xiang looked up to the sky, saying to An Ge who was hanging in the tree: "An Ge, come down and help me!"

When would she be done packing up such a big lawn? 

The leaves in the tree shook, An Ge pulled aside the leaves: "I still have an important mission to carry out, forgive me for not being able to help you, princess didn't tell you to do this on your own, get some of the servants to help you out, it will be done quickly."

Mo Xiang's lips twitched, wasn't An Ge's important mission to protect the princess, right now what could happen to the princess inside her house? The previous Ru Ge was better, she really missed the days with him, even though Ru Ge was a glutton, always stealing and eating the things she made, stealing her refreshments, but without him here, she really missed him, she wondered if he had reached Dayan already

"Achoo.." Ru Ge suddenly sneezed while he was on horseback on the road to Dayan, he reined in the horse, turning to look in the direction of Dongqi, separated by hills and rivers, he seemed to hear someone calling him. His lips rose and smiled: "Dongqi...I...Yu Chi Ru Ge will return."

At night, Xiao Yi Chen returned to his study, he was firstly suspicious of the wooden box on the floor in the study, he called and asked the secret guard that's when he found out Ji Ling Xue had sent someone to deliver the wooden box here.

What was inside the wooden box? 

Xiao Yi Chen pinched his chin in thought, could Ji Ling Xue be very happy with the lawn he had laid out for her so she gave him a gift in return, hoping to surprise him?

Xiao Yi Chen walked around the box, looking at the words "No one can open it besides the prince" on top, it was indeed Ji Ling Xue's handwriting, he picked up the wooden box weighing it in his hands, then shook it,  didn't hear any strange noise from the wooden box.

Xiao Yi Chen said: There's weight to this, could it be clothes and shoes? It must be, yesterday he had worn the clothes Ji Yu Qing and Zi Su had personally made for him, it seems Ji Ling Xue was jealous, so she brought him a box of clothes. 

Xiao Yi Chen broke the seal having put himself in a good mood, he tore the seal and opened the box, his face turned black the next moment....

"Bai Mo, come out, if you don't, I will burn your bamboo house down!" Xiao Yi Chen held a torch, standing outside Bai Mo's house he shouted in rage.

Bai Mo who was sleeping soundly in his bed, as suddenly awake, he rolled off his bed , sticking up his ears to listen, through the crack in the window at the door he saw the scene outside, raising his hand he slapped his mouth, "I must have a crow's beak, whatever I say, it comes true...looking at the prince, he must have been angered by the princess and he ran over to take it out on me."

Bai Mo hurriedly put on his clothes, opening his back window he wanted to run away, suddenly a shadow of a person appeared, Xiao Yi Chen's secret guard stood there like a ghost, under the white moonlight his face looked terrifying.

Bai Mo laughed, immediately closing the window, shutting that stern faced secret guard outside.

He sorted out his clothes, pushed open the door and went out, his path was blocked, he could only brace himself against Xiao Yi Chen.

Bai Mo pretended to have just woken up, giving a yawn, "Prince, it's so late, why are you here?" As he spoke he counted on his hand, "I don't seem to have recently treated anyone to death, and haven't visited an important patient..." 

So I'm a good person,  haven't broken the law, prince your anger scares me.

Xiao Yi Chen stuck the torch in his hand into the ground, it didn't have a sharp bottom so it wasn't stuck very deep into the ground.

Xiao Yi Chen lifted his gown, sitting on the stone stool in the courtyard, "What rotten idea did you give me, this prince's nose was covered in dust?"

Bai Mo swept his gaze over Xiao Yi Chen, "What did the prince do to charm the princess?"

His idea could be carried out in a hundred ways, only with sincerity can a boulder be carved into a finger size.

Xiao Yi Chen said: "Two days ago this prince took the princess to the military drill ground as the site for the cooking competition, princess pointed at a wild flower saying she really liked it, so yesterday hearing what you said, yesterday this prince took the lawn from the military drill ground and laid it in her courtyard..."

Xiao Yi Chen hesitated, clearing his throat he continued: "I thought she would like it, but tonight, I saw the lawn in a box in this prince's study, tell me is this prince pitiful or not?"

Bai Mo clutched at his belly laughing heartily: "Prince, your way of chasing a girl is very unique..."

Xiao Yi Chen's face turned black, he slapped the table: "This prince only knows how to kill on the battlefield, I really don't know how to chase a woman...besides, a bachelor yourself dare to laugh at this prince, this prince at least has three women, do you? You only have this broken bamboo house and that medicine field."

With such poisonous words from Xiao Yi Chen, Bai Mo didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Xiao Yi Chen saw Bai Mo looked distressed, his mood instantly settled, patting the table he asked, "Is there wine?"

Bai Mo went back to his house taking two jugs of wine out, sitting opposite Xiao Yi Chen they clinked their jars and sat drinking in melancholy.

After three rounds, Bai Mo asked: "I heard the third prince of Dayan has gone back, Dayan is currently in chaos, what's your view?"

Xiao Yi Chen looked at the wine jar giving a mischievous laugh, "After this year's cooking competition, this prince will take a trip to Dayan, throwing their nation into little bit more of a chaos."
