Chapter 43: Unprecedented Talents

Translator: Beibei Ren

Hearing Hua Yueling’s comment on his ’impotence’, Nangong Lieye blazed with such a fury that the lovingly holding of Ouyang Ruyan’s small hands changed into such a tight grasp .

"As expected, Miss Hua is a lady who is willing to forgive and forget . But when it comes to our sex life, I am afraid I cannot agree with you . The Third Prince is gentle and passionate, so rare in the world . What you said just now may not hold water, Miss Hua . " Ouyang Ruyan held back Nangong Lieye’s big hands and said gently with a smile .

"Ha-ha, you may right here . While it was my first and I was really unaccustomed to his wild passion . You see I was hurt here and there . His unique taste finally finds its place . I think only someone like Miss Ruyan can enjoy it . I cannot bear it, anyway . Ha-ha-ha . " Hua Yueling’s poisonous words took effect instantly, for as soon as the people at present heard these words, they might realize that the Third Prince had a hobby of abusing women . It could be understood as either an enthusiast or a pervert .

Hearing that, Ouyang Ruyan flushed with embarrassment and she also felt an intense pinching of her hand by Nangong Lieye . With knitted eyebrows, she thought to herself that Hua Yueling did kill two birds with one stone this time and she knew that no matter how she was spoiled by the Third Prince, she was a prostitute after all .

"It’s a pleasant day today, isn’t? So just as mentioned previously by Miss Hua, let bygones be bygones and let’s forget the unpleasant . Cheer up . Let’s move on, it is your turn to make a poem . Childe Gao . " Liu Qingfeng stood up with smile to mediate the dispute right away .

Nangong Yixuan also stood up to push Hua Yueling down . He grinned at Nangong Lieye, "Third brother, it is not a good thing for you two . You belong to the same family after all, don’t mention that anymore . Just let it go . "

"What the Fourth Prince said makes sense . The unpleasant thing has gone, so don’t hold the grudge . You are from a royal family, so don’t make fun of yourselves . Even if you are departed, you can still be friends! Come on, Third Prince, we are coming for celebrating Miss Ruyan, let’s have a toast . " Mo Wushuang also stood up with a cup of liquor cheerfully . Everyone was doing the peacemaker jobs .

"Yeah, exactly . . . " Many people were persuading the Third Prince .

Nangong Lieye was anyway the veteran in business, and today was his woman’s birthday, so he would not lose his face to quarrel with Hua Yueling . No matter how, he had to give face to Nangong Yixuan and Mo Wushuang . Therefore, he withdrew his hand from that of Ouyang Ruyan and raised a cup instead . His complexion became more relaxed and said with a smile, "You’re right . Let bygones be bygones . We cannot be couples, but we can be friends . Now that Miss Hua can let go of the past, I will follow her suit . Come on, drink this glass of wine, and our resentment will say goodbye forever! Let’s not mention it anymore!" Nangong Lieye went to Hua Yueling and raised his cup .

Hua Yueling’s slanted eyes gazed at Nangong Lieye’s black eyes, which couldn’t see through hers .

"The Third Prince is really broad-minded . It is better for me to be obedient than respectful! Don’t spoil the pleasant atmosphere . Ha-Ha . " Hua Yueling took the glass handed by Nangong Yixuan and clinked it with his .

They looked at each other and drank the liquor . Hua Yueling saw that his beautiful black eyes were full of confusion . Maybe he didn’t believe that the woman who scolded him a few days ago and accused him about the red carpet this afternoon actually was willing to reconcile .

With a beautiful smile on her face, the slanted eyes were full of flirtation . It seemed that she was a little drunk, so her charming face turned red and she gazed at Nangong Lieye with seduction . For the first time, Nangong Lieye blushed .

"Well, well . Harmony brings wealth . Childe Gao, it’s your turn . " Liu Qingfeng laughed to ease the atmosphere . He was the friend of Nangong Lieye . He should gave an aid to him .

"Great . Today is a happy day . How about composing some poems about happiness? I’ll come first . " Gao Yang walked to Ouyang Ruyan and shook his head, "I was a born slow walker . The sun falls down in the west . Walk fast or walk slow, I was happy any way . "

"Ha-ha . . . . . . " Ouyang Ruyan looked at Gao Yang and smiled, "Childe Gao is really talented . "

At this time, Nangong Lieye and Hua Yueling had returned to their respective seats . Hua Yueling leaned comfortably on the shoulder of Nangong Yixuan, and her slanted eyes gazed at Nangong Lieye dimly . Her posture was like a noble orchid, enchanting and charming . Nangong Lieye’s heart was tense again . Was this woman seducing him? She still loved him? He’s a little confused .

With a big around of applause, Gao Yang expressed his thanks and returned to his seat . Several people of the aristocracy also began to compose poems, and the atmosphere became lively . At last, no one knew who proposed the topic of love and someone immediately suggested Ouyang Ruyan to create one .

Ouyang Ruyan smiled gently and stood up . She gazed at Nangong Lieye affectionately, "If you are dust . Then I am cement . We are in difference . When shall we be together?" As soon as she finished, she glanced at Hua Yueling .

"Good! You are really a talented woman!" Some people applauded . Nangong Lieye smiled and lovingly pulled Ouyang Ruyan into his arms, which attracted everyone’s boos . Ouyang Ruyan, however, blushed . What an enviable couple!

"Miss Hua, now it’s your turn . " Gao Yang yelled .

Hua Yueling got up slowly and her hair floated gently . Seeing Mo Wushuang’s expectant eyes and the couples’ mocking eyes, Hua Yueling couldn’t help laughing and said, "OK, but I’m not as blessed as Miss Ruyan . " With a sigh, she looked up at the empty sky and uttered in a quiet and soft voice, "Clouds float like works of art, stars shoot with grief at heart . Across the Milky Way the Cowherd meets the Maid . When Autumn’s Golden Wind embraces Dew of Jade, all the love scenes on earth, however many, fade . Their tender love flows like a stream; their happy date seems but a dream . How can they bear a separate homeward way? If love between both sides can last for aye, why need they stay together night and day?" After chanting, she sighed again and said, "Sorry to make myself a joke . " Finish saying, she slowly sat back . She gave a glimpse to Mo Wushuang with her slanted eyes, seeing his moon-like eyes shining with bright light, full of shock and joy .

Nangong Lieye, on the contrary, turned pale and unbelievable .

"Good, good! Excellent! Given your buried talent, it’s the most beautiful poem I’ve ever heard . " Gao Yang jumped up excitedly from his chair, "’If love between both sides can last for aye, why need they stay together night and day?’ Excellent poem! I admire you!"

A thunderous clap of applause soon made a stir in the audience, making Ouyang Ruyan’s calm expression fade away .

"Ling’er, what a beautiful poem . I never know how wonderful your talent is . " Nangong Yixuan’s smiling beautiful eyes were full of surprises and adoration .

"Ha-ha, there are still more unknown things . Before I was young and ignorant, I only thought about love and thus lost myself . Fortunately, it’s not too late . I just hope to find a man who cherishes me like the poem say ’Having no wings, I can’t fly to you as I please; our hearts are linked and your ears can heart my inner call’ . " Hua Yueling said . Her eyes were watery and her head lowed down . She seemed to have thousands of knots in her heart, but she was so charming and delicate that it made people feel sad .

Nangong Lieye’s heart suddenly seemed to stop beating . Looking at the sad Hua Yueling, he abruptly had a feeling of love for her .

It was not just him, but all the young men here were extremely yearning for the love in Hua Yueling’s beautiful poem .

For a time, the scene was quiet, for everyone was savoring the two classic sentences in Hua Yueling’s poem, while Hua Yueling secretly rolled her eyes . She leaned on the shoulder of Nangong Yixuan with a sigh of relief, picking up the scented tea and tasting it leisurely .
