Chapter 14: Drunken Spring Breeze (Three) (Revised)

  Cui Min, who had just been full of arrogance, slightly straightened her expression due to the nonchalant look on Nangong Jin's face as he leaned against the railing. She glanced at Xia Zihao, whose face turned pale after being caught, and coldly asked, "Who is this woman?"

  Nan Gong looked down at the suddenly chilly atmosphere in the hall and the eager eyes of the crowd, changing to a lazy posture. His enchanting eyes swept over Xia Ziyou's body, lazily saying:

  Around her waist hung the jade belt of the Yan Wang Fu, adorned with a brown tiger-tooth pattern inlaid with the character "Yan". This was the only one of its kind under heaven, and the only person who wore such a belt was the eldest daughter of the newly appointed Right Minister Xia, the new queen of the Yan Wang Fu - Queen Yan.

  Everyone knows how difficult it is to get an ordinary token that can enter the Yanwang Mansion. Whether it's a member of the royal family or a high-ranking official, anyone who can wear such a jade token will be proud of it, as it represents some connection with the Yanwang Mansion. As long as someone has a connection with the Yanwang Mansion, whoever sees them must show respect and courtesy. However, this token is not something that ordinary people can possess. Even among the people in the mansion, only a few can wear it, like the one on Xia Ziyu's body. Without the permission of the Yan King, it's impossible for a maid to use it as a belt. But Xia Ziyu doesn't know anything about this, and she wonders what the purpose of the jade token is that the maid tied around her waist when helping her get dressed.

  The King of Yan's consort... The entire hall fell silent, the drunkards sobered up halfway, and the one holding Xia Ziyu's hand immediately let go, took two steps back, and collapsed onto a nearby chair.

  "Am I right... Princess Yan Wang. " Nan Gong Jin had already jumped down from the balcony, his purple clothes fluttering out in all directions as he landed steadily on the ground, taking a few steps closer with a playful smile and teasing tone, staring at Xia Zi Yu's face which was changing color inch by inch in his line of sight:

  "Rumors outside say that the King of Yan is not attentive to the Queen, but it seems that's not entirely true. The sable fur on the Queen's body... Tsk tsk, it's very precious indeed. However..."

  Xia Zi Li stood frozen on the ground as he suddenly changed his tone

  "The princess suddenly appeared in front of me today, what's the meaning of this drunk spring breeze? You know, Prince Yan and Prince Ning have always been like well water not interfering with river water in business."

  "I——" She really didn't expect that today, in front of everyone, her identity would be exposed, and the location was still a brothel. Nangong Jin, the second son of the Nangong family, the first family to hold the Ning Wang's industry under their control. Cui Min is the only son of the Imperial Censor, a famous playboy in the capital city. The other guests probably also have impressive backgrounds. A dignified princess actually ran to a brothel, and if this gets out, it will definitely cause rumors to spread wildly.

  And now, what should she say?

  She followed Mingzhu in, but turned around and she was gone. What is the relationship between Mingzhu and this Drunken Spring Breeze? Or, does Mingzhu's every move have to be under Xia Ziyu's orders? Is it possible that Xia Ziyu has a connection with this Drunken Spring Breeze? The one in control of Drunken Spring Breeze is Ning Wang, could it be...

  "Now that the princess has come in, why don't you go upstairs and sit for a while?"

  Nan Gong Jin looked at her, speechless, his enchanting Danfeng eyes fluttering with autumn waves.

  "Don't——"

  Looking at the purple-robed man standing in front of her, with a delicate purple-gold crown on his head, which was tilted down along the collar of his clothes, he seemed to be smiling recklessly and carefreely, but his whole body was tense and cold, making it impossible for anyone to guess what he would do next. Xia Ziyou's immediate response was refusal, she now had only one thought in her mind, that is to quickly leave this place of trouble.

  "What is the princess afraid of?"

  Nan Gong narrowed his eyes, leaned in close to Xia Zi Yu, lowered his voice, and spoke with a light tone. Seeing that Xia Zi Yu didn't respond, he continued speaking on his own.

  "It's just a pity that this is the territory of Ning Wang, and even Yan Wang has no right to interfere here. So now, you have no choice but to listen to me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for coming to the wrong place."

  "What exactly do you want to do?"

  Xia Zi Li's resentful gaze stared at him.

  "The princess can rest assured, I have always been a person who cherishes and protects beauty. A peerless beauty like the Princess of Yan will not be allowed to suffer even the slightest harm under my care. I only want to show the princess something..."
