Chapter 145.1 - Bewitching beauty
“That’s not the same …” Xiahou Qing’s eyes dimmed as he stiffened his neck and faced Ye Ji.
“What’s different? It’s just a beauty.” She really didn’t understand why they all like Lou Qingwu, what was so good about her?
But that was the most annoying thing.
She still had to depend on a small little left prime minister’s daughter to get in contact with brother Ye, so disgusting.
The darkness in her eyes grew deeper as she slowly stood up and walked towards him, her enchanting eyes falling on his body, “Third prince, now we have to see if you want your jiangshan or your beauty because even if Lou Qingwu’s beautiful, to compete with brother Ye, you still won’t be able to win.”
“No, Qingwu’s clearly already started to fall for me.”
“Hmph!” Ye Ji clearly didn't’ believe him. Her brother Ye was the only person who could make people fall for him.
“One word, are you willing to gift her to the emperor?”
“I …” Ye Ji’s question of jiangshan or the beauty echoed in his mind as he hesitated.
Quite obviously, the thing he wanted the most was the jiangshan but he wanted to the beauty as well.
But there was one thing that Ye Ji was right about, and that’s that even if he didn’t have this beauty, there’d be more to come.
However, if he lost the jiangshan, he wouldn’t be able to get it again.
But …
“What? You still haven’t decided?”
“Let me think for a bit.” Xiahou Qing held his head in his hands before struggling, “Father dotes on consort Ying so much, he definitely won’t …”
“That’s because you don’t understand your father, there’s no one who doesn’t like beauties.”
“But it’s not for certain. Isn’t your brother Ye one who hasn’t fallen for your bewitching beauty yet?” Xiahou Qing mocked her.
Ye Ji choked before glaring at him, “Brother Ye is an exception!”
“Then father could be an exception too!”
“Do you think that’s a possibility? Just look at the three thousand beauties in your father’s chambers, if you’re saying he’s doesn’t love beauties, then you’re lying!”
“....” Xiahou Qing became silent.
After half a beat, he lightly sighed, “How do you want to do it?”
Ye Ji’s eyes flashed a light, proudly gripping her fists.
So what if Lou Qingwu was beautiful, didn’t she lose to the attraction of the jiangshan?
She slowly moved to Xiahou Qing’s side, her beautiful eyes blinking at him, “Get imperial consort Ruan to tell consort Ying to say it, as long as consort Ying says it, your father will definitely agree. Consort Ying definitely hates Lou Qingwu because of her unborn child so she’ll try her hardest to get in the palace. Once that’s done, we just follow the natural path, do you know what I mean?”
“En.” Xiahou Qing mumbled, his mood down as he watched the duck that was nearly at his mouth, suddenly fly away.
Really, the more he thought about it … the more he felt infuriated.
He angrily threw his sleeves to the side, no matter how angry it made him, for the sake of his grand plans and ambitions, he’d have to hold it in!
Ye Ji coldly tugged her lips, raising her brows as her mood was incredibly good.
She sipped her tea as the bland taste suddenly felt extremely soothing and calming.
When Lou Qingwu left the Night Prince’s residence and arrived at her Leaning Wind Pavilion, her mind echoed the last phrase that Feng Yege said to her, the ten days to the deadline.
Her head hurt as she rubbed her forehead, sitting down on her couch.
Lan Bai to the side, saw a rarely frustrated master with a bitter expression on her face and felt like she should do something.
So she took out a bowl of soup that she’d prepared earlier.
“Master, you haven’t eaten all day, drink this soup first.”
“....” Lou Qingwu looked at the soup in front of her and then at Lan Bai who watched her sincerely.
She rubbed her forehead before shaking her head. “No need, I’ve already eaten.”

TL note:
Duck to his mouth - something that you’re sure of and about to eat, suddenly growing wings and flying away. He thought that he had LQW set, but now she’s going to become one of his father’s concubines.
Leave a comment and for Ye Ji’s half baked plan to start going ahead xx
