Chapter 427 - 406: Second Update
Ju Nanyi almost fled in disarray, as if his defeat had been as disastrous as a collapsing mountain; he even abandonded his dignity and appearance, nearly tripping down the steps of the Warm Pavilion. Zheng Nianru, throughout his previous lengthy life, had never seen Ju Nanyi in such a sorry state.
"Lord Ju, Lord Ju, hey, hey, hey——" Lin Sheng came over with a pot of wine, almost bumping into Ju Nanyi, but no matter how he called, the man did not turn back and disappeared from everyone’s sight in an instant.
Zheng Nianru couldn’t help but laugh aloud, Fu Dong teasingly glanced at his own Commandery Princess, "Commandery Princess, should you really be teasing people this way? Lord Ju here is a true gentleman."
Indeed, aside from Lord Ju, look at the others; with the Commandery Princess’s approach, which one did not flock to her? Thus, it only highlighted Lord Ju’s upright and noble character even more.
Lord Ju ah...
Fu Dong watched the man’s receding figure with a lingering gaze, wondering if the Commandery Princess, were she to take such a man as her husband, would also turn into that pure moonlight, hanging on the horizon, the most unblemished thing of the late autumn?
"Still looking? If you can’t bear it, go call him back." Zheng Nianru looked up at Fu Dong, holding her wine cup high for a while now, yet the maid hadn’t realized it.
"Commandery Princess, you’ve scared the man away; how could he possibly come back?" Fu Dong, now somewhat bolder than before, which she herself might not have realized, even dared to talk back a bit.
"Commandery Princess, why did Lord Ju... leave?" Lin Sheng timidly set down the wine pot, wondering what they would do when the Prince woke up and was still in need of Lord Ju.
