The Captivating Crown Prince

Chapter 38 Leng Yu Feng Not Happy

Translator: Skilvh

“Crown Prince, there seems to have been a change in the capital!” Wu Ju stood outside the room as she bowed her head.

Over the past few days, she had received training from Wu Wei in the capital, who had asked her to go to Feng Zhou City to serve the prince. In fact, both of them wanted to serve the prince, but had been rejected. After she heard that she could come and serve the prince, Wu Ju felt very happy for she could now be of use to him, even if it was just as a handmaid.

Wu Ju stood there and heard the sound of door opening. She looked up and saw the black imperial robes(1) of the prince emerge.

Wu Ju immediately fell into step by his side. She had just arrived at Feng Zhou city last night, and as the crown prince was resting at the time, she dared not bother him. However, as she had not seen him for a few days, she felt that the Crown Prince’s appearance had become more beautiful. Wu Ju thought that in the future when the Crown Prince was finally crowned as the emperor, she didn’t know what kind of lady could be his match.

As Wu Ju was lost in thought, she ran into a slightly weakened body in front of her and looked up, stunned. Wu Ju then realized that she had hit the Crown Prince, who turned around and looked at her indignantly.

“Crown Prince…” Wu Ju kneeled down, but not because she was afraid of the Crown Prince.These days, both Wu Ju and Wu Wei knew that the Crown Prince was very tolerant, and as long as you did not make any mistakes, he would often be indulgent. However, Not only was she in front of the Prince, she even speculated on his future marriage. Wu Ju felt that she had overstepped her boundary.

Shang Wu Xin looked at the kneeling Wu Jun. She did not understand, was she really that scary looking? This girl before her looked like a mouse now, but Shang Wu Xin knew that behind her back, she was cold-blooded and wooden faced.

“What are you thinking about that’s so important that you couldn’t even walk properly?” Although it sounded cold, if one listened carefully, they could hear the gentleness in the voice.

Wu Ju did not know how to answer. Must she told the Crown Prince that she had been thinking of who could match his heavenly visage? But Wu Ju could not deceived the him, so she bitterly frowned and buried her head.

Shang Wu Xin leaned down slightly, the corner of her mouth curved into a sinister smile, and said with a charming voice, “Well? What’s Wu Ju thinking about?”

From a distance, this appeared to be a scene where the cold and beautiful man seemed to lean down to kiss the shy woman who was kneeling on the ground. The scene was extremely pleasing, but in other people’s eyes, this scene was really too annoying. It made them want to kill the woman who was kneeling on the ground.

Maybe it was because the Crown Prince’s voice was too charming, but the only Wu Ju could do was distractedly say, “This slave is thinking…Crown Prince in the future…”

Wu Ju hadn’t even finished talking when a slightly angry voice called out, “Crown Prince!”

Shang Wu Xin was very familiar with this voice, because its owner would come to her place everyday before going out to manage a few things. Although not many words were said, it often appeared in her vicinity.

Shang Wu Xin straightened up, turned around, and saw Leng Yu Feng standing in the entrance to the courtyard. His figure was clothed in a black attire that made him look very handsome and sexy. His sword like eyebrows were a bit wrinkled, his eyes seemed to be full of anger, and his whole body emitted a thick bloody smell. (T/N: Killing intent? Negative emotions? Aha! It’s Jealousy~ tehee ;d)

This was the first time that Shang Wu Xin had seen Leng Yu Feng’s disappointed expression. Upon seeing this kind of Leng Yu Feng, Shang Wu Xin realize that this man was a general who led the army, not the silly boy who was always shown in front of her. However, Shang Wu Xin had to admit that this kind of Leng Yu Feng really gave her a strong desire to conquer him.

Shang Wu Xin nodded at Leng Yu Feng and was ready to go to the living room to eat. Unexpectedly, Leng Yu Feng, who usually left early, followed behind her. “This subject has also not had breakfast yet. Would the Crown Prince allow this subject to share breakfast with him?” Unusually, his voice was unrestrained, and his request was delivered in an overbearing tone of voice.

“En!” Shang Wu Xin said without paying attention.

At this time, Leng Yu Feng, who was behind Shang Wu Xin, looked coldly at Wu Ju. The look in his eyes was like a wolf’s, experienced with the horror of tearing people apart, which chilled Wu Ju’s whole body. She didn’t know when she had offended the general, but she knew that the General Leng seemed to harbour a strong hostility towards her.

The two were seated for but a moment before Wu Ju let the servants bring the food to the table; it was no longer like the days past, where no one had waited on Shang Wu Xin. (T/N: “waited” means that no one waits on the side to serve SWX before)

The meals on the table were not even half as good as a meal in the Crown Prince’s house, as there were currently no good meals to be found in Feng Zhou City. Fortunately, Shang Wu Xin was able to endure suffering; she was not a demanding person and was able to enjoy the food happily.

Perhaps due to the discomfort of Shang Wu Xin’s body over the past few days, she did not eat much. She tasted a few mouthfuls before putting down her chopsticks.

“Does the food did not suit your taste?” Leng Yu Feng, who was still sulking, saw the Crown Prince put down his chopsticks.

He thought that because the Crown Prince’s body was thin so he could not eat much. Leng Yu Feng felt a bit worried, and he ignored his previous negative thoughts to ask.

Shang Wu Xin took the clear water that Wu Ju handed over and shook her head slightly. “This prince is just not hungry. General Leng can continue eating. This prince will go first!” After she was done speaking, she got up, and fearlessly left the living room. As Leng Yu Feng looked at the back of the departing Crown Prince, the delicious meal suddenly became tasteless, and he too put down his chopsticks and left the living room.

Shang Wu Xin stood atop the watchtower of Feng Zhou City and watched as the entire city recovered its former glory. Wu Ju said with some pride, “Prince, you are too great! You don’t know, but right now everyone in Feng Zhou City anyone says that the Crown Prince is like the Bodhisattva!”

Shang Wu Xin knew that what Wu Ju said was all true. Recently, when she appeared in Feng Zhou City, she encountered so many people who were very grateful to her and wanted to talk to her that she could not appear in front of them at all.

“Oh? Why did this prince not know that this prince is so powerful?” Shang Wu Xin smiled and teased, but the smile didn’t really look like a smile, just a slight pull at the corner of the mouth.

“Of course!” Wu Ju said with some pride, her usual cold look nowhere to be seen. ” Crown Prince, you did not know. Nowadays, not only does Feng Zhou City know your name, but the whole mainland knows that the Crown Prince loves his people like his children.”

Although Wu Ju looked very cold and was really a cold person, before the Crown Prince, she was always no different from a little girl.

Shang Wu Xin knew that Wu Ju had no other intentions in saying that. Since ancient times, people’s hearts had always been the most important thing. Although the lower class couldn’t help the upper class It was an important factor. if they wanted to claim the official positions then they had to follow the public opinion.

“Where did you learned to be so talkative?” Shang Wu Xin shook her head and sighed. The longer the little girl stayed by her side, the more cheerful she was. Shang Wu Xin didn’t know whether it was a good or a bad thing.

“Wu Ju did not lie, Crown Prince’s name is really deserved!” A pleasing voice came from the tower’s left side. Shang Wu Xin did not even have to look back to know Huan Mo Che had come. Other than him, who else had a voice that was warm as the wind, while the person himself was cool like water?

Shang Wu Xin looked at the blue-dressed Huan Mo Che. His posture was tall and straight, beautiful and extraordinary. His five features were profound and clear, with a winged-shaped eyebrow, and peach eyes that were as elegant as an ink painting. Those black pupils felt as if they could suck people in after staring into them for a long time.

Huan Mo Che had become accustomed towards this silent Crown Prince. It seemed like the Crown Prince had no feelings, or even the slightest emotions, for anyone but was a little bit hostile towards him. No matter how he followed the Crown Prince, he was never paid any attention.

For the past few days, the more he involved himself with the Crown Prince, the more he couldn’t extricate himself. He could clearly feel his heart moved towards the Crown Prince. Whether or not he was ignorant at the beginning, now he knew very well that he liked the Crown Prince. He did not know how much he liked this Crown Prince, but he knew that he could not let him go.

He had never liked anybody, man or woman. This was the first time he liked a person, but the response was a cold estrangement.

Huan Mo Che felt that he had a strong mentality. Otherwise, how could he have laughed so easily everytime he was ignored by the Crown Prince, yet still followed him?

Regarding Huan Mo Che’s unpredictable look, Shang Wu Xin did not want to know. At the beginning, she thought that this person had self-interest at heart when he approached her. But after these past few days of getting along with him, although she knew that he was not a good person, she understood that he did not have any ill-intent towards her, so she just let him be. However, she really did not like this person; everything he said was a joke and that pair of peach eyes (3) were so beautiful that it could make people fall in love with them.

Shang Wu Xin nodded towards Huan Mo Che and led Wu Ju down from the tower, leaving the blue-dressed figure there alone. A cold wind blew, and a figure could be seen standing there in obvious loneliness.

(1) 黑色蟒袍 : google search this words to see how the imperial robes looked like.

(2) “怎的如今学会了贫嘴？” : in this context Shang Wu Xin wondered how did Wu Ju learned how to be so talkative/poor mouth. But google translated it to “How do you learn to be poor now?” Hahaha!!!

(3) 桃花眼 / Peach eyes : Are said to be very seductive and inviting towards the opposite sex. Google the Chinese words to see how it looks like.

T/N: I’m very lazy to type a few words sometimes…Btw, should I translate it to English meaning or just leave it as Chinglish? …example:

– “太子” / “Tai Zi” (Chinglish) / “Crown Prince” (translated).

– “嗯” / “En” (Chinglish). So many words can be derived from this single letter.

– “Ben Gongs”, “Nu Cai”, “Chen”, “Zai Xia”, as it is or change it to “I”. They’re various words to represent “I” or “me” in all levels of hierarchy.

p.s. T/N trivia: I usually “Find and Replace” the Chinese names first before other words & before I translate anything. Lol~

Txs to all who’s reading this~ Looking forward to your inputs~ XD
