The moment Murong Qi Qi heard that, her eyes suddenly opened. She rolled and sat up.
“Oh no, oh no! The tournament is today. It’s already sishi. I’m certainly late. Su Mei, Su Yue, quickly come in and help me! Wangye must be anxious because of the waiting! Geez! I actually overslept! Su Yue, why didn’t you wake me up?! It would be troublesome if I miss the tournament later! I haven’t gotten Wind Chase Cliff yet. At court, there’s that old empress dowager watching. If I miss the tournament and is sentenced to lose, I’m done then!”
Murong Qi Qi was worried. She didn’t see Feng Cang sitting there next to the bed. Plus, the fact that there was a curtain bound at the bed with happened to block Feng Cang, Murong Qi Qi ignored the fact that a big man was next to her.
When Murong Qi Qi jumped barefoot from the bed to the ground, her bare feet stepped on the carpet; when she was looking for her clothes on the hanger, did she see a smiling Feng Cang through the mirror.
Murong Qi Qi turned and saw Feng Cang. Her expression was somewhat stunned. Then she looked at herself. She was only wearing a thin layer of silk. Because Murong Qi Qi didn’t have the habit of wearing undergarments to sleep, that silk was worn next to the skin. It sketched out her exquisite figure. Especially two rebellious clouds fell into Feng Cang’s eyes.
“Ah!”
Murong Qi Qi screamed, hugged her chest and squatted. Two cheeks became red. Her head almost touched the ground because of shyness.
Hearing Murong Qi Qi’s scream, Su Mei and Su Yue lifted the curtains and came in. When they saw this scene, they immediately understood.
“Wangye, we’ll help miss dress up. Please go wait outside.”
Su Mei held her laughter and looked at the also red faced Feng Cang. At this time, Feng Cang was somewhat ‘at loss’. His face was so red as if blood would flow out if you pinch his cheeks.
After hearing Su Mei say to let him go wait outside, Feng Cang was like he got a way out of this predicament. He immediately nodded: “Good! Good! Benwang 3 will wait outside!”
In the end, Feng Cang rushed out as if he was fleeing, making Su Mei and Su Yue almost laugh out loudly. They didn’t think that their guye[4 Guye: son in law, also used by the servant’s of the mistress’s family] was so innocent. They thought he did something to miss. It’s just, seeing miss in pajamas, his face was already red like that. If he saw Murong Qi Qi’s true appearance or when it’s the bridal night, they really don’t know how shy this guye will be……
After getting out, Feng Cang took a deep breath. The cold air stimulated him, letting his banging heart gradually slowed down.
He originally was thinking about to personally dress Murong Qi Qi up to show her his tenderness, consideration and intimacy. He didn’t expect that when Murong Qi Qi turned, she would let him see such a beautiful picture.
Although Feng Cang is already twenty-five; in this era, he should already have a wife, concubines and many children and would be a young person in his late twenties. Even though he didn’t have any intimate contact with a woman before, but he also knows the intimate love between men and women; the forming of the harmony between yin and yang. However, when he personally encountered such a situation, he was truly somewhat unable to hold it.
Especially, the thought of that wonderful body wrapped in silk, as well as the two towering clouds and also Murong Qi Qi’s white jade like small toe. All blood from Feng Cang’s body couldn’t help but rush to his brain. His heartbeat once again accelerated. Boom, boom, boom! Even Feng Cang himself could hear the strong as horse’s steps heartbeat. This has never happened before.
“Tsk, tsk, cousin brother, you actually blushed!”
Just at this time, that handsome face of Wanyan Kang appeared in front of Feng Cang. Inside the smiling eyes were full of jokes. Wanyan Kang carefully looked up and down at Feng Cang for a long time. He suddenly laughed out loud.
“Cousin brother, what kind of improper things did you do to cousin in law? Cousin in law’s scream called the whole street over!”
Wanyan Kang’s voice was very high as if he wanted to let Murong Qi Qi inside the room hear it. When Murong Qi Qi heard Wanyan Kang’s words, she jumped in the quilt.
“I’m finished. Su Mei, Su Yue, my image is completely destroyed!”
“Miss, he said it intentionally. Don’t bother with him!”
The ‘he’ from Su Mei was naturally referring Wanyan Kang. Seeing that Murong Qi Qi was embarrassed, Su Mei went forward and pulled her up.
“My good miss, just now, you said the tournament was about to begin, that you’re late. How come you’re not worried now?”
Murong Qi Qi’s small face was flushed. Her eyes showed much shyness. She was afraid that Su Mei and Su Yue would laugh at her. She also couldn’t tell them what Feng Cang saw just now. she could only lower her head and let Su Mei and Su Yue help her dress.
“When did wangye come in? Why didn’t you say something? He scared me to death!”
Hearing Murong Qi Qi ‘explain’ like this, Su Mei and Su Yue exchanged a knowing smile. It seemed that their miss was shy. Let’s don’t tease her too much!
“Wangye came for quite a while. He was afraid to wake miss up, so, he has been waiting at a side.”
“Oh……”
Murong Qi Qi nodded and dawdled for a long time before going out.
The moment she got out, Murong Qi Qi saw the bad smile on Wanyan Kang. Her heart skipped a beat. She felt that today she lost many faces. Wanyan Kang wanted to tease Murong Qi Qi a bit, but has been stopped by one gaze from Su Mei. The warning was very strong in Su Mei’s eyes. Wanyan Kang didn’t dare to offend Su Mei. He could only smile like a thief at a side without saying anything.
“Wangye……”
Murong Qi Qi was somewhat embarrassed seeing Feng Cang. She quickly looked elsewhere and didn’t dare to look him in the eyes. Feng Cang was also like that. The two turned their face to elsewhere and didn’t look at each other.
“Mm! You woke up. First eat breakfast, then we’ll go……”
Such awkwardness continued till they were about to enter the carriage. Feng Cang has been pulled to a side by Wanyan Kang.
“Cousin brother, what are you doing?! Weren’t you very sticky with cousin in law before? Why are you so alienated today? Didn’t you see that cousin in law is about to cry?”
“She’s about to cry?”
Feng Cang was startled. He didn’t dare to look at Murong Qi Qi’s face. How would he know these? Hearing Wanyan Kang say this, Feng Cang panicked. What should he do? He saw her body. This little woman must want to cry because of shame! This is bad. Now, she wouldn’t misunderstand that he’s a lecher, right?!
“That’s right! You ignored cousin in law. Cousin in law feels very wronged. I saw those tears rolled several laps in cousin in law’s eyes. They almost fell out.”
Hearing Wanyan Kang’s explanation, Feng Cang’s hanging heart went down. So, it’s because he ‘ignored’ her. That’s why she was sad. He actually thought that it was……it’s just hearing that Murong Qi Qi was about toc cry, Feng Cang also felt heartache. He wanted to go comfort her, but he was also a bit afraid.
“Cousin brother, women need to be coaxed. You put a cold face early in the morning; let alone cousin in law, even I, when looking at it will feel the chill, ah! Quickly go coax cousin in law! Go……”
Originally Feng Cang wanted to be in a carriage with Wanyan Kang, but he was pushed by Wanyan Kang into Murong Qi Qi’s carriage. Seeing Feng Cang enter, Su Mei and Su Yue were very understanding and left the carriage to leave this space for the couple.
“That, this morning, this morning I didn’t see anything……”
The always eloquent Feng Cang became clumsy at this time. That sentence let the color that originally reduced from Murong Qi Qi’s face came back again.
“I really didn’t see anything! I only saw a silhouette, really……”
In the end, Feng Cang’s clumsy appearance while explaining made Murong Qi Qi laugh. O
nly now did she know this man is so cute. On the matters between men and women he’s more reserved than her.
“I’m fine.”
Murong Qi Qi’s cheeks were pinkish. She moved a bit to a side to vacate a place.
“Wangye, sit!”
Feng Cang’s phoenix eyes warmed up. He sat next to Murong Qi Qi. He gently put her into his embrace. Murong Qi Qi’s ‘sit’ let the embarrassment, shyness and other emotions of Feng Cang all be released. In his heart only remained the love for this woman.
“Qing Qing, you’re truly beautiful!…”
This sentence made Murong Qi Qi’s earlobes also became red.
He truly saw…However, they are engaged. Sooner or later, she’ll be his. She was just seen wearing a pajama. It’s nothing much.
Now, Murong Qi Qi felt that her reaction this morning was a fuss about nothing. Being a person from modern day, that reaction was a bit too much. It’s just that he never expected Feng Cang to appear in her room at that time. Her ‘dirty’ appearance being seen by the man she likes, made Murong Qi qi’s beautiful heart have a small regret.
At least, it should be when she was prepared and with the most beautiful appearance, giving him an image he won’t forget for life. Like that, she would be more willing to accept. Thinking about the problem of image, suddenly Murong Qi Qi came up with an idea to tease Feng Cang. She came out of Feng Cang’s embrace and looked at him with a serious expression.
“Wangye, it’s unfair!”
“What’s unfair?!”
Feng Cang was puzzled. What did Murong Qi Qi mean by that?
“Wangye has already seen me……I haven’t seen wangye yet.”
This sentence was like to pester endlessly and also somewhat arrogant and cute. Plus, with Murong Qi Qi’s blushing face, it moved people even more. Murong iQ Qi’s request also made Feng Cang’s face turn red immediately. When he saw the slyness in Murong Qi Qi’s eyes, Feng Cang finally understood. This little woman wanted to tease him. Immediately, his big hand grabbed Murong Qi Qi’s slender waist and firmly held her in his arms.
“Since Qing Qing wants to look, then today is better than another day. I’ll let you look now!”

At this time, Feng Cang changed his modest behavior. Inside his phoenix eyes was laughter. He pulled at the snow-white fur on his body. Then he took off his coat, revealing the white inside it. When he was about to take off his underwear, Murong Qi Qi was so scared she grabbed Feng Cang’s hands.
“Wangye1, I was joking! Really!”
“No! If I don’t let Qing Qing look, Qing Qing will feel that it’s unfair. Besides, I looked at Qing Qing. Now, I’m letting Qing Qing look at me. I should return politeness with politeness!”
“No need!”
Murong Qi Qi shook her head and bit her lips. This time, the joke went too far. If Su Yue and the others saw Feng Cang’s clothes being untidy, they would think they did something in the carriage. By then won’t she feel shameful to death?!
“Really, don’t want?”
Feng Cang smiled with a smile that was yet not like a smile at Murong Qi Qi; looking at her blood red face, her red neck and that pair of beautiful eyes full of tension.
“Don’t want!”
‘Hua……’
The curtain has been opened, revealing Wanyan Kang’s handsome face.
“What doesn’t cousin in law want?”
When Wanyan Kang saw the scene in front of him clearly, he was truly stunned. His eyes widened and his finger pointed while trembling at Feng Cang.
“Cousin, you, this beast!”
The original sweet fragment between a couple, in the eyes of Wanyan Kang turned into Feng Cang took of his clothes and wanted to force himself on Murong Qi Qi. Plus, with the scream from Murong Qi Qi, Wanyan Kang could imagine how Murong Qi Qi, this little white rabbit, ‘suffered’ at the hands of Feng Cang, the wolf.
“Cousin brother! No matter how impatient you are, you should wait till the wedding night, ah!”
“Get lost……”
Seeing Wanyan Kang deliberately distort the right from wrong, Feng Cang’s palm went at him. Wanyan Kang was scared and quickly retracted
“Cousin brother, you want to silent (kill) me, ah?!”
Wanyan Kang’s scream came from outside the carriage.
“If you say one more word, when we go back, I’ll let uncle find ten women for you!”
Feng Cang put on his clothes, pulled the curtain and looked at Wanyan Kang. The threat in his voice was very strong. Wanyan Kang quickly closed his mouth.
“I didn’t see anything. I don’t know anything. You, continue! Aiya, the weather is so good today. The sun is really big, ah! Haha! Being young is so good!”
The adapting to the circumstances Wanyan Kang, quickly looked at the sky and laughed.
“Humph!”
Feng Cang pulled down the curtain. At the time, Murong Qi Qi truly wanted to faint. Her face was burning and red. Her head buried completely in Feng Cang’s chest.
“That kid is used to being like this! When I go back, I’ll deal with him!”
Feng Cang held Murong Qi Qi and softly apologized. This little woman’s face is thin skinned. He also is. Now, his heart is still jumping very hard. Damn! When they go back, they must marry quickly! By then he can bill and coo with Murong Qi Qi openly!
Till they arrived at the venue, did Murong Qi Qi leave Feng Cang’s embrace. After they came down the carriage, Wanyan Kang whistled at them. Murong Qi Qi blushed once again. Until Feng Cang’s eyes swept over Wanyan Kang, did he touch his nose and hide at a side.
The venue for the finals was like a stage. In the middle was stone build round platform. It was surrounded by a circle of semicircular two story small building. It’s specifically for people to watch the game.
Because the contestants of Nan Feng and Dong Lu had been eliminated- Nan Feng’s contestant already returned to their country- so, this time only Xi Qi’s, Bei Zhou’s contestants and the people of Dong Lu who came to watch at the venue.
The people of Dong Lu have long arrived. The one in the lead was Jia Lan.
“Wangye, princess!”
Jia Lan waved from his seat at Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi.
“You’ve arrived!”
“Mm!”
Feng Cang nodded in answer. He took Murong Qi Qi to the seats of Bei Zhou’s contestants. Not long after, Xi Qi’s contestants also arrived.
Because it was a once in every five years’ tournament between the four countries, many citizens also came to the venue. They wanted to watch this rare tournament. Fortunately, the venue was big enough. So, the citizens who came also had a place to sit.
Wanyan Bao Zhu also came to see the tournament. Since Feng Cang got to know from Murong Qi Qi that Wanyan Bao Zhu was a fake, he let people ‘serve’ her more attentively. They served her like a real princess, made Wanyan Bao Zhu forgot the shock of before and thought that she really got away with it.
When she arrived at the venue, with one glance, Wanyan Bao Zhu saw Longze Jing Tian sitting at Xi Qi’s side.
Dup, dup! Wanyan Bao Zhu’s heart beat very fast. She never thought that she’ll ever be able to see Longze Jing Tian again. She also never expected to see him at this place.
Although this man had hurt her, but he was the first man she loved. He was her first love and also her first man. So, after seeing Longze Jing Tian, the emotions in Wanyan Bao Zhu’s heart were difficult to contain. The extinguished flamed burned again. She forgot that she was at the venue and also forgot that Feng Cang and Murong Qi Qi were at her side. She actually walked to Longze Jing Tian.
“Hey, who are you? What do you want?”
Not waiting for Wanyan Bao Zhu to get to Longze Jing Tian
, she has been stopped by Murong Qing Lian. Murong Qing Lian didn’t know this Bei Zhou’s princess, but she came from over where Murong Qi Qi was. Murong Qing Lian didn’t have good feelings for Murong Qi Qi, so, she stopped Wanyan Bao Zhu even before she (WBZ) had the chance to get close to Longze Jing Tian.
The moment Wanyan Bao Zhu saw the person who stopped her was Murong Qing Lian, she frowned. How come it’s her? Why is fourth little sister here? Thinking again, Murong Qing Lian was an excellent figure among the young generation, she must’ve come to participate in the tournament. However in her (MQL) eyes were no kindness. This made Wanyan Bao Zhu somewhat unhappy.
“I would like to ask, are you Xi Qi’s Jing wang?”
Ignoring Murong Qing Lian, Wanyan Bao Zhu went around her and came to Longze Jing Tian. The way she looked at him was full of infatuation as well as memories from the past.
“You are?”
Longze Jing Tian lowered his head. Looking at that infatuated expression of Wanyan Bao Zhu, he immediately frowned. Why is every woman around him so infatuated? Why is it that aside from Murong Qi Qi, there’s no one who isn’t infatuated?”
“I’m……”
The words were about to leave her mouth, when Wanyan Bao Zhu suddenly stopped. How should she tell Longze Jing Tian? Should she say that she’s Murong Xin Lian? That’s impossible! Right! Now she’s Bei Zhou’s princess! She must come up with a princess’s style!
“Bengong2 is Bei Zhou’s princess Bao Zhu!”
“Oh……don’t know what brought princess here?”
Longze Jing Tian narrowed his eyes. He was somewhat impatient. It’s just Wanyan Bao Zhu didn’t notice it. She was just thinking about another problem.
Now, she’s is not Murong household’s second miss Murong Xin Lian anymore, but she’s Bei Zhou’s princess Bao Zhu—–Wanyan Bao Zhu. So, she had a new identity. Did this also mean that she could begin a new life? For example, marrying Longze Jing Tian as Bei Zhou’s imperial princess? Now her identity is noble. She’s enough to be comparable with Longze Jing Tian. She doesn’t have to be afraid of stepping a tail and beg for pity anymore.
