Every man was enthralled by the dance.
Ranmil moved closer to Feng Wu. Suddenly, she slipped and fell into Feng Wu’s arms.
Feng Wu was astonished!
Jun Linyuan stared at her.
Feng Wu didn’t know what to say.
Before Feng Wu could react, Ranmil had risen to her feet and moved away, as if what happened was only part of the dance.
Feng Wu smelled her sleeve and noticed a unique scent. She smiled a little.
The music stopped.
Only then did the crowd come back to themselves and look at Ranmil in excitement.
“Bravo!”
“What a wonderful dance!”
“Amazing!”
“Princess Ranmil is so beautiful!”
…
Everyone was praising Ranmil, but she didn’t care about any of them. Her gaze was on “Jun Linyuan” the whole time, and his opinion was the only thing she cared about.
But “he” gave no reaction, which made Ranmil uneasy.
But she was used to taking the initiative, so she turned to Emperor Wu with a confident smile. “Your Majesty, does our bet still count?”
Emperor Wu smiled. “Of course it still counts. Now, which young man do you want to keep?”
Ranmil’s Fierce Face would benefit whichever man she wanted to keep.
Every young man looked eagerly at Ranmil.
“Pick me…”
She was beautiful and respectable, and she might dance Fierce Face for her man from time to time. All the teenagers looked forward to being picked.
Ranmil looked past the crowd and fixed her gaze on Feng Wu.
She then smiled. “Your Royal Highness, do you want to stay here with me?”
WHAT?!
Everyone gave Ranmil strange looks.
That was bold!
Jun Linyuan was the crown prince of the empire and the future emperor. Did she really think that he would stay behind for her? Although Ranmil was beautiful, she was still asking too much.
Everyone shook their heads. That was never going to happen.
Emperor Wu was surprised by that request as well. How could the princess choose Jun Linyuan?
Feng Wu looked from Ranmil to Jun Linyuan.
She asked him with her eyes, “Do you want her?”
The crown prince glared at Feng Wu.
He was very angry!
Feng Wu cringed and took the hint.
But other people had a different understanding of their interaction.
Emperor Wu and the empress dowager saw that “Feng Wu” was staring at the “crown prince” and threatening “him,” and they were astonished.
The empress dowager gritted her teeth. “Junjun has spoiled that girl! This is outrageous!”
Granny Lan smiled bitterly. “Your Majesty, please don’t be mad.”
The empress dowager said, “Of course I’m angry! I’ve never raised my voice at Junjun, but that girl is staring at him!”
Granny Lan said, “Your Majesty, everyone has their own preference, and His Royal Highness…”
