Jin Wang Dotes on His Concubine-Chapter 226.2
Chapter 226.2
Smiling, Yue Wu looked at the little girl before him. From a distance, he only saw a small figure, but as she climbed up the fake mountain, he could only see a h ead. Now, seeing the real person, his eyes lit up.
In terms of beautiful women, Yunnan had no shortage, but when it came to someone who matched his tastes, Yue Wu felt that the beauties from the Central PI ains were more in line with his aesthetic.
Unfortunately, she was just too young
His eyes glanced back and forth at Changle, and inexplicably, Changle felt very nervous.
"You haven't told me who you are yet? The imperial palace is not a place just anyone can enter casually."
Yue Wu took a sip of wine and said, "My name is Yue Wu."
As soon as she heard this, Changle felt a sense of familiarity. It took her a moment to realize that this person was the Yunnan Wang that her father had mentio ned.
"You're that pretty boy's father?"
To her surprise, he was already a father. However, she really couldn't tell that he was as old as her father. At most, he was just a bit older than her eldest broth er.
"Are you talking about Yue Qing that kid?" Yue Wu's voice was unique. Even though he was speaking proper mandarin his voice had a strange intonation, quit e magnetic.
Changle remained silent, lost in thought.
"Did Yue Qing that kid offend the princess?"

"How do you know I'm a princess?" she stammered.
Yue Wu smirked, "With such attire and at this age, you could only be Princess Changle, the jewel of His Majesty's palm."
Changle couldn't help but lift her chin slightly, seemingly satisfied, "Consider yourself observant."
"Is the princess tired? While this prince was enjoying the scenery just now, this prince heard someone saying she was thirsty and tired. There's some tea and snacks here. If the princess doesn't mind, you can sit down and taste them."
Yue Wu extended his long arm in an inviting gesture, and Changle's eyes lit up.
"There's a bowl of shaved ice!" And it was in her favorite raspberry and red bean flavor!
At this moment, Changle's eyes were fixed on the jade bowl in the gilded ice basin on the stone table. In the jade bowl, fresh and vibrant raspberries and tende r red beans were topped with cream and honey, surrounded by smoking crushed ice.
On the side of the bowl was a silver spoon, shining and tempting to pick up.
Yue Wu's smile deepened, "This was brought by the palace staff. They claimed it's excellent for relieving the summer heat. However, this prince doesn't like s weets, so it has been left untouched. If the princess likes it, it's yours.”
"Thank you."
Changle happily went to the table and sat down, not hesitating to pick up the jade bowl.
The bowl of shaved ice has been sitting there for quite a while, causing the bowl to be very cold. She reached for the jade bowl, but her fingers, numb from th e cold, almost dropped it. Seeing the jade bowl slipping from her hand, she was about to cry out when Yue Wu who was sitting nearby swiftly swept it up, and the small jade bowl landed securely in his palm. He moved it towards her.
She looked at the other party and felt a bit embarrassed. She wanted to reach out to take the jade bowl herself, but he shook his head and directly placed it in front of her.
"Princess, please enjoy it."
Changle responded with an "oh" and lowered her head to scoop the ice with the silver spoon, eating it in small bites.
The ice bowl was very cold, but it tasted delicious. The naturally sweet crushed ice in her mouth was refreshing, and the cream and honey on top were just rig ht, not too overwhelming.
So delicious, she sighed in her heart, her small face full of satisfaction, completely forgetting there was someone sitting next to her.
"This prince would like to know if the brat had offended the princess? If so, please don't hesitate to tell me and he will be dealt with when this prince returns."
Changle, with the spoon in her mouth, mumbled, "No, it's nothing, not a big deal." She didn't want to admit she was being petty in front of an outsider.
Yue Wu nodded, lifted his wine cup, and sipped, not asking further.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded, and Qing'er, panting, hurried over.
"Princess, this servant brought over some tea... Who are you?"
Changle quickly put down the spoon and said, "Qing'er, don't be rude. This is Yunnan Wang. His Highness is here to enjoy the scenery, and it was I who intrud ed, but he let me to rest here."
She stood up, performed a royal courtesy to Yue Wu, displaying the demeanor of a princess. It was a far cry from the chatty young girl from before.
"Now that my palace maid is here, I won't disturb His Highness any longer."
Yue Wu nodded slightly, and Changle hurriedly lowered her head, leading Qing'er away.
"Princess, didn't you say you wanted to cause trouble for that kid..."
The people soon vanished without a trace, but faint whispers could be heard. Then, it sounded as if someone covered her mouth, silencing the voice.
Earlier, Changle's attention had been drawn to the bowl of shaved ice. But now, whenever she thought about what she had muttered and what Yunnan Wang must have overheard, she felt mortified and didn't know how to react.
It was only when they left the place did Changle say, "Let's go quickly, don't let anyone discover us."
But, Princess, you've already been discovered, more specifically, by your target's father.
