Rebirth of Spoiled Crown Princess-Chapter 17
Chapter 17
Legendary deception
At these words, Lian Jin Yu and An Zhong Tao's faces were a little embarrassed. An Qing Ran knew that her words would make them feel awkward,All of them could not understand her mood at the moment.
Thus she pulled each of her parents in hope that she could make them sit side next to each other.
However, the crown prince being present, the seating protocole had to be respected. The highest seat was prepared for Dong Fang Jin.
However, Dong Fang Jin said:
"today this prince is a guest in your residence. You don't have to take so much care and delay your precious time with your family. You should act as if this prince and Mu Lan were not here! How about it?"
At these words, the seatings were decided. An Zhong Tao and Lian Jin Yu were seated on one side of the crown prince.And Lian Mu Lan on other side.
Qing Ran eyes were sending daggers to her cousin while she took place on the last empty chair. Lian Mu Chan raised his eyebrows and blinked faking surprise in response.
When An Qing Ran took her seat next to her mother, the maids brought some soup as appetizers. Because the prince was eating with them. An Zhong Tao instructed the maid's to serve him first. But Dong Fang Jin busily said :
" The General is too polite. I will leave if you continue to act in this manner.”
As soon as the crown prince said these words An Zhong Tao relaxed a bit. On the other hand, An Qing Ran wasn't the least bit nervous about Dong Fang Jin and Lian Mu Han sharing their table. In her eyes, these two were just children.
Lian Mu Han, who stayed quiet for a while spoke cheerfully to Lin Jin Yu: "aunty the lights is the general's house are very beautiful this year…"
"Are the lantern's in Lian's estate not great this year?"
"Good, they are good but it is the same design as all the previous years so it's a bit less interesting…"
"Does your father know that you are here?" asked Lian Jin Yu.
"Father? Well, I am not sure. I told him that the prince and I would go to the city to enjoy the festivities. But today is the Lantern Festival! Now I am reunited with my aunty family isn't that right?"
"You kid!" Lian Jin Yu exclaimed with a smile. She really wasn't willing to see that child grow up. He was such a playful and pure-minded kid. As for the rumours… Well, she didn’t know about them. But, even if she knew she would not believe them.
Lian Mu Han suddenly turned to An QIng Ran "Cousin (BiaoMei), what do you think about this year festival is different? Why didn’t you and Yan Ran, go out to plan with the lanterns?"
An Qing Ran responded with a smile "Some habits can be changed…"
"That is good" commented Dong FangJin with a smile.
Hearing the prince comment Lian Jin Yu hurriedly reminded Qing Ran "Ran er, don't be presumptuous in front of the prince".
"Mother, his Highness said that we should not be polite. I think the crown prince (taizi) meant for it to be this way…".
An Qing Ran answered with a mischievous smile. Dong Fang Jin looked at her the corner of his mouth curved in a grin.
Once again An Qing Ran realised that this person wasn't simple. A smart person such as her cousin would not mingle with just anyone. At least these two should have similar temperaments.
It was really a pity that this prince was destined to die. In her past life, If the crown prince didn’t die would Dong Feng Ye become Crown Prince? How could that vile coupe run amok?
Thinking about these two people, An Qing Ran's eyes flashed with hatred. This look was caught by Dong Fang Jin.
Lian Mu Han wasn't paying attention to the two of them.
He was observing his aunt and uncle weird expressions. He knew exactly what was happening in the general's household.
Well, for one not to know he should be blind!
