Translator: Guy Gone Bad

(Say hi to all those who were ever a fan of this novel. I myself am also a big fan. For kind of personal interest of harem and romance genre stories, we’ve decided to pick it up with our humble ability. And I really appreciate the translation of the former chapters. They are so fascinating and attractive to me. So I do hope that we won’t fail those who love this novel. And if you have any suggestions on our translation, please do tell us and we’ll try my best to improve.

“My lord, this is Murong Xue!” Ouyang Shaochen stepped forward and held Murong Xue behind naturally while introducing her.

So he was the old Prince Jing? Ye Yichen’s father? He finally came back!

Murong Xue’s eyes shone. She raised her head and looked at this middle-aged man. He was in his thirties, starry eyes, high nose and a delicate face. Ye Yichen indeed resembled him quite a lot.

The indigo long robe didn’t make him any less dignified. The maturity time left on him made him like a sharp sword hidden in the scabbard, like deep waters running deep…

Looking at Ouyang Shaochen and Murong Xue so intimate, something flashed in old Prince Jing’s eyes.

Looking at the slim and graceful Murong Xue, he said in an astonishing tone, “So you are Xue. You are all grown up after all these years. I even didn’t recognize you. How you been?”

“Thank you for asking, my lord. I’m all good.” Murong Xue smiled: in the original owner’s memories, old Prince Jing crowned Ye Yichen and then took the old queen to settle down in Yunnan when she was nine. It had been five years already.

“It’s quite a long journey from Yunnan to the capital. I shouldn’t have bothered you. But Xue and Prince Jing’s engagement was settled by their parents. So we could only bother you to come back and cancel it. Please pardon us…”

The old Prince Jing heaved a sigh and then said while looking at Murong Xue, “In the pigeon letter His Majesty sent me, he has explained everything. I know it’s all Yichen’s fault. Don’t worry. I will hold the scales even…”

Murong Xue smiled. Actually she didn’t care whether his scales were even or not. She only wanted to cancel her and Ye Yichen’s engagement. She only wanted to get rid of him now!

When she was about to say something, an indifferent voice cut in, “Father!”

Murong Xue followed the sound and saw Ye Yichen walk in. His purple-red robe few in the wind, making her face even paler. But his ill complexion didn’t make him less charming and indifferent.

On seeing Murong Xue, Ouyang Shaochen and others, he slowed down for a bit, but immediately picked up the pace and came before the old Prince Jing.

On noticing the light smell of blood and the bodies on the ground in disorder, he immediately understood what had happened, then asked, “Father, are you OK?”

On hearing his father was coming, he immediately left everything behind to greet him, but only finding the assassins’ bodies on the ground.

The old Prince Jing cast a glance at him and said angrily, “I would have been dead if I have waited for you to save me. Fortunately Xue happened to pass by and saved my life…”

Ye Yishen showed some kind of complicated feelings in his eye. He then said indifferently, “Thank you.”

“You are welcome.” Murong Xue answered back casually, “His lord’s kung fu is superb. Even without me, the assassin wouldn’t be able to hurt his lord.”

After a while, Ye Yichen said in a flat tone, “Anyway I should thank you. After all you lent a hand…”

Looking at his indifferent and alienated expression, the old Prince Jing immediately darkened his face and walked to the side, with his order in a deep tone, “Ye Yichen, come with me now!”

With his eyes blinked, Ye Yichen followed him behind slowly…

After walking into a dark corner, the old Prince Jing suddenly turned around. He took out something from the sleeve and smashed at Ye Yichen, “Demoting your wife to a concubine? Who taught you that?! Huh! You’ve made your ancestors humiliated!”

Ye Yichen didn’t dodge. The book flew over his face, leaving a deep wound. He just ignored it. He stared at his father and said, “Father, you taught me to be loyal to the woman I love. I did this only because I don’t want to let her down…”

“You bastard, how dare you talk back?!” the old Prince Jing scolded him, “Princess of Mobei is now living in the mansion now. She knew that I am back and wouldn’t come greet me. How could you fall in love with such kind of uncourteous woman? Are you blind?”

“Yuyan got badly injured, so she didn’t come to…” Ye Yichen tried to explain.

The old Prince Jing sniffed, “She hasn’t been here for long and already hurt herself badly? I could imagine how she has behaved. Such kind of woman is a troublemaker. Whoever married her would be doomed…”

Ye Yichen’s face immediately darkened. He said word by word, “Father, don’t make a conclusion before you see her. This is unfair to her…”

“Shut up!” the old Prince Jing interrupted him while looking at him coldly, “I’ve been in service in the court for many years, and you think I’m no better than you judging a person? Yeah, I have never seen Qin Yuyan, but I have never seen Murong Xue either. But look whom Murong Xue has been with.”

“Ouyang Shaochen, Dongfang Li, either of them would be a match for you. You mean their vision is not as good as you? You think they have feelings for Murong Xue because they are both blind?”

Ouyang Shaochen was the widely known Lord Freedom’s heir, while Dongfang Li was the famous prince of Xi Liang. If one of them fell for Mu Rongxue, he might be blind. But since both of them fell for her, it might not be their problem then…

“Be it in Mobei or in Qingyan, I bet the woman you love was always surrounded by some mediocre men.” A kind of mockery could be sensed through his deep voice,

Ye Yichen got shocked by his words. He then recalled all Qin Yuyan’s admirers he had ever seen. Although they were all from noble families, none of them had had the ability or made any outstanding achievement…

On seeing that he didn’t say a word, the old Prince Jing quieted down a little, saying in a deep voice, “My son, I have experienced much more than you, so I have better judgment. You are my only son. I wouldn’t do any hard to you. I picked Murong Xue from over ten thousand girls. It’d only bring you good to marry her as your wife…”

“Yuyan is the princess. She can’t be a concubine.” Ye Yichen mumbled with firm eyes.

The old Prince Jing also said resolutely, “If not, get packaged and go back to Mobei! My mansion doesn’t need her.”

“My lord, my lord…” a servant ran to them and shouted with excitement, “Princess Qin comes around. She wants to see you.”

Ye Yichen’s eyes shone, “Really?”

The servant gasped and nodded, “Absolutely!”

“That is great!”

Ye Yichen felt much relieved. And when he was about to go home, the order of the old Prince Jing was heard, “You can’t go.”

Ye Yichen then stopped. He looked at his father and said word by word, “Father, Yuyan is the princess of Mobei, and she got badly wounded and has been in a coma because of me. I don’t know whether she could survive, so I can’t leave her alone…”

The old Prince Jing stayed unmoved, “I didn’t finish yet. If you go back to see her now, you are no longer my son!”\n
