2288 Unfair Victory
The Ultramarine Province Emperor Rong Yuan alighted from his carriage and immediately identified his troublemaking fourth son.
This child was wearing a pure-white cape. Even though he had handsome peach blossom eyes, his tall and straight back was akin to bamboo erected on a chilly and steep cliff. He was looking at them icily.
He was currently leaning against a huge swallowing wolf. His slender fingers ruffled the long fur on the swallowing wolf's head. His amorous peach-blossom eyes were now filled with callousness as he looked at them, devoid of warmth.
It was as if all this commotion had no bearing on him. The people standing here were not his brothers and relatives but fake people with false pretenses.
"Ah, ha. Haha!" Awkward laughter came from behind Rong Yuan. A skinny middle-aged man commented with a smile, "The fourth prince must be annoyed by the wait. Your Majesty, everybody is basically here already. Please give the order to set out."
The Ultramarine Province Emperor: ...
You useless guy. You just know to act according to the situation! The emperor glared at this official.
Everybody was whispering among themselves in private.
How blind was the Marquis of Anxing? Didn't you see those three scary swallowing wolves harnessed to the fourth prince's carriage?
Wouldn't these big fellows spook the horses and stop them from pulling their carriages?
This Marquis of Anxing was quite adept at papering over things.
"Quickly come and take away this useless b*tch lest she pollute His Highness's sight." A beauty dressed splendidly in a red dress arrogantly kicked Li Clan's daughter of a concubine and glanced at the palace servants behind her.
Another round of discussion broke out in the crowd.
Everybody recognized this red-clothed beauty with well-done makeup and lavish accessories as the renowned advanced-level pill alchemist, Commandery Princess Xiangchang.
Even though she was young, her skill in pill alchemy was not to be underestimated. She was only twenty years old and about to become a yellow-level pill alchemist.
Yellow-level pill alchemists were not rare in their Ultramarine Province, but there were few yellow-level pill alchemists who were so young.
Usually people who became yellow-level pill alchemists were mostly seventy or eighty years old.
On the other hand, this Commandery Princess had started learning pill alchemy from young. Because of her extraordinary talent, she became the most outstanding personal disciple of the Medicine Sect's senior elder. Her identity was not to be belittled.
Rong Yuan waved his hand and beckoned for the servants to carry out the Li Clan's young lady.
The Li Clan's patriarch, Li Yuanqian, squinted his eyes. He stepped out and bowed in embarrassment, "This young daughter has just returned from growing up in the countryside. Please be magnanimous for her lack of composure in the palace."
"Family Head Li. You had best not bring along such an unpresentable daughter of a concubine with you to show off all day long."
"Good looks is all she has."
"Family Head Li has a lot of ideas, huh."
Several family heads who were at odds with Li Yuanqian naturally belittled him without holding back at such an opportunity. The things they said made the veins on Li Yuanqian's forehead bulge.
"Imperial Father." Duan Yue impatiently cut off everybody's criticizing and deadpanned, "I heard that there is a competition during every hunt. If the people in the hunt are all weaklings like this, this son will not be participating! Even if I win, it wouldn't be a fair victory!"
The Ultramarine Province Emperor's eyelid jerked.
He was his son, but he had no idea where he got his temper from.
His mother, Noble Consort Duan, was such a gentle woman...
