Chapter 2615: Chapter 2615: Sorry (1)
Yang Ruxin’s words brought silence to the grand hall for almost five seconds before suddenly someone chuckled, it was the Eighth Prince Qi Jingyi, who feared nothing but chaos under heaven: "Are you a woman?"
Wanyan Ningshuang’s pretty face immediately flushed red, unsure of how to respond; saying yes or no both seemed incorrect.
Then many people followed and laughed.
Wanyan Liang’s brow imperceptibly furrowed, Wanyan Ningshuang hadn’t seen her brother’s expression, but the suddenly chilling atmosphere beside her made her involuntarily shiver, knowing she had caused trouble again. Fortunately, she wasn’t too foolish and quickly smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, I didn’t mean it that way."
Yang Ruxin’s eyes flickered slightly, is this a change in strategy? Then she smiled: "It’s alright."
"I just heard that women in Daxuan learn embroidery and the four arts from a young age. After watching the performances of several ladies from prominent families just now, I assumed madam was also skilled in many arts." Wanyan Ningshuang said as she walked up to Yang Ruxin, bent over respectfully, "I apologize to you."
Yang Ruxin hurriedly stood up and returned the greeting: "As the saying goes, one cannot blame the ignorant. Indeed, the young ladies of Daxuan’s aristocratic families are talented in various arts, but I am not from an aristocratic family. I am just a village girl. To me, learning to embroider and play the four arts is not as practical as learning to weed and fertilize the fields."
Wanyan Ningshuang opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing and turned back. She wanted to retort but was afraid of saying something wrong, so she could only hold back.
Wanyan Liang’s expression finally eased.
Wanyan Ningshuang also breathed a sigh of relief. Although she lost some face, at least she didn’t have to worry about her life, as Jin Country had more than just one princess like her.
Jiang Fangfei secretly gave Yang Ruxin a thumbs-up, thinking probably only Xinxin could speak of her identity as a village girl so righteously, making people feel particularly proud.
Yang Ruxin also sat down, after all if others don’t provoke, she is very gentle.
Gu Qingheng held her hand under the table.
Yang Ruxin just curled the corner of her mouth and playfully scratched his palm.
Gu Qingheng’s grip suddenly increased in strength and he turned to glare at this girl, ’I’ll deal with you when we get back tonight.’
Yang Ruxin’s smile deepened.
And the few people opposite them, seeing the pink bubbles between the two, had mixed feelings.
Yang Ruxin met one of the gazes among the many eyes.
Because of the arrival of the Jin Country envoy, coupled with Emperor and Empress Dowager’s birthdays, Emperor Xuanjing called back several princes and commandery princes who had gone to their territories.
Thus, the Fifth Prince Qi Jinghao from Hanzhong and the Sixth Prince Qi Jingxuan from the Shu Region also returned.
Qi Jinghao watched Yang Ruxin looking at him, the curve of his lips widening gradually.
Yang Ruxin’s eyes slightly squinted, she didn’t know why, although this Prince of Han was polite and kind, she just couldn’t bring herself to like him, even held some apprehension, always thinking it’s better to keep a distance, making this feeling herself feel quite helpless.
Just like now, the other’s gaze made her feel an itch all over.
"What’s wrong?" Gu Qingheng gently asked as he lowered his head.
Yang Ruxin shook her head: "Nothing."
Gu Qingheng didn’t probe further, this place wasn’t suited for talking.
There’s also another gaze Yang Ruxin couldn’t ignore, one was Princess Ahyang’s, as for the other one...
