Chapter 213

Startled at the Racetracks [4]

Xiao Rou was stunned. Right after, her face turned red. These few sentences said by Huang Bei Yue meant that she didn’t know this future WangFei and also involved her in, making it seem like it was her fault.

Speaking of lacking in manner, the way Lin Wan Yi had spoke was displaying a lack of manner. She was not the official Jing WangFei right now so she should be paying her respects to Princess Bei Yue when she sees her.

Normal people didn’t care about these etiquette and manners. However, Lin Wan Yi was about to marry into the imperial family. Within the imperial household, there is a distinct display of rank and status, not giving people the chance of exceeding through the rules.

Right now, when she opened her mouth the tone of her voice was clashing against others. Subtly, it contained the intentions of mockery, already the greatest lack in manner.

Once the words were out of her mouth, Jing Wang’s eyebrows had furrowed, subtly.

Lin Wan Yi was smart since young and had been observing Jing Wang. She had noticed his action of furrowing his eyebrows and her heart had slightly felt heavy.

Xiao Rou hurriedly explained: “Third sister, this is the prefecture of the government minister’s first young miss, the future Jing WangFei.”

Then, Huang Bei Yue had replied: “As it turns out to be Jing WangFei, Bei Yue is lacking in her manners.”

“How could that be? Princess is generous within her heart. It is Wan Yi who is lacking in her manners.” As she said so, Lin Wan Yi bent down and illustrated a standard courtesy. In her heart, however, she was not satisfied.

“Jing Wang is here. WangFei is giving me a courtesy instead. Bei Yue does not deserve this.” Huang Bei Yue had said ‘WangFei’ this ‘WangFei’ that, calling her out in such a smooth way.

Yet Jing Wang had indifferently exclaimed: “Princess is born from the imperial family so you should know that before she is given the title, do not address her as WangFei.”

Jing Wang’s words were out of anyone’s expectations. Even Huang Bei Yue was slightly surprised. She couldn’t help but to look back at Jing Wang and her heart seem to understood.

Political marriage had existed since the ancient times.

For power and position, sometimes, it is necessary to sacrifice some things.

Such as love.

Born within the imperial household, who the future person will be by the pillows, they, themselves, are not able to make the decisions.

Lin Wan Yi’s face was slightly ugly. However, her etiquette was pretty good still. Her face still held an elegant smile on.

“Princess Bei Yue is still young doesn’t know much. This is called child’s words hold no harm. Prince, don’t be mad.”

Child’s words hold no harm **** Huang Bei Yue couldn’t help but be gloomy.

Jing Wang’s face was slightly better. Actually, his heart was unhappy but not due to Huang Bei Yue’s way of addressing him but it was due to that ever since people found out he was engaged to Lin Wan Yi, these people have been calling her ‘Jing WangFei’ this ‘Jing WangFei’ that.

He had not wished for this marriage. Because of this, this led him to dislike it even more. However, she was composed and virtuous and normally, he couldn’t pick out anything bad about her anyway. Right now, he was only using the pretext to make a fuss out of this.

Jing Wang nodded his head a bit: “It’s been many years, Princess Bei Yue. Who knew Princess Bei Yue had grown up this much now? Before I was not able to recognize Princess, it is this Wang who has a clumsy eye.”

“Jing Wang is joking. Bei Yue’s body doesn’t have any mark hanging unlike on Jing Wang’s body. Of course it is normal that Jing Wang isn’t able to recognize me.” Huang Bei Yue stated and her eyes looked towards Jing Wang’s personal sword.

Jing Wang was shocked then right after, he looked down to see that ‘Jing’ word on his sword. Immediately, he reacted and laughed out loud, straightforwardly.

“Princess is wiser than most people. This Wang admires you for that!”

Lin Wan Yi watched as Jing Wang who displayed more etiquette towards her than emotions towards her was now chuckling out in laughter and her heart felt slightly sour. She forced a smile on: “Prince, before Principal Cang He was asking about you. Are you going over to take a look?”

“Principal Cang He?” Jing Wang’s smile halted. His face suddenly turned serious and said goodbye to Huang Bei Yue. He quickly left.

“What is the matter with Jing Wang? How come he didn’t even say something to sister before leaving!” Lin Wan Yi murmured, out of satisfactions.
