The Prince Is Actually a Beauty - Chapter 5

Chapter 5

“Since this Prince is talking nonsense, why is Young Master Wang so anxious? Look, you’re even sweating in this winter weather.” Lin Yunnan’s lips curved, and she tilted her head, opening her mouth to take the crystal grapes that Hong Mei offered, and then licked the beauty’s finger with lingering satisfaction.

She looked down at the crowd watching the excitement with such a frivolous attitude. Truly worthy of being the rumored playboy prince of North City.

“Liar! Shut up!” Wang Cheng was furious; he was very concerned about his reputation. He snatched the snow shovel from the guard beside him and threw it towards the upper floor.

The snow shovel flew through the air amidst the exclamations of the crowd, smashing into a small table on the second floor. The fruit rolled all over the ground, and the fine wine pot also shattered, with wine splashing everywhere.

In the distance, a carriage painted in gold, red, and pink slowly approached. The carriage curtain was lifted by a hand, “What’s going on ahead?”

Nan Yu, who was driving the carriage, slightly bowed and respectfully replied, “Young Master, perhaps the young masters of the Wang clan have started a dispute.”

The curtain was lifted, revealing a young man’s fair face. His unusual tea-colored eyes held a hint of aloofness, and he wore a long, dark purple robe with a black collar and a jade hair tie.

“Young Master, you…”

“Stop the carriage, let’s watch the show.” Chi Muyao’s eyes, full of interest, landed on Lin Yunnan’s face in the distance, “The land of Yongchang is fertile, it can even nurture someone so beautiful.”

Lin Yunnan looked as if she hadn’t expected Wang Cheng to take action. After a two-second daze, she screamed and scrambled to hide behind Cai Mei, her face full of panic, hugging Cai Mei’s thigh tightly and trembling.

“Don’t, don’t do anything, let’s talk it out. I didn’t say anything just now, I didn’t see Young Master Wang go to the Full Moon Tower to buy people, I didn’t see anything.” She hid, trembling, her cat-like eyes full of spirit, misting up with water.

This is truly an explanation that is worse than no explanation at all.

Everyone couldn’t help but sigh, this useless young prince, cowering behind a woman, was truly greedy for life and afraid of death, without any martial arts foundation, neither literary nor martial.

In the dark, Lin Yunnan’s lips curled up slightly, forming a small arc. She took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve, opened the stopper, and poured all the yellow flower juice inside onto her lower garment.

But she didn’t know that her little actions were all seen clearly by Chi Muyao in the distance. The young man’s tea-colored eyes were tinged with a shallow smile, “Nan Yu, who is the person on the second floor of the restaurant?”

“Replying to the young master, it is the only son of the current Prince Yuan, the Medicine Prince, Lin Yunnan.”

Lin Yunnan on the second floor of the Full Moon Tower was helped up by Hong Mei and placed on a soft couch.

“Hey, look at the Medicine Prince’s clothes, why are they yellow?” Someone shouted, and everyone’s attention was drawn to it.

She had deliberately changed into light-colored clothes today, and the yellow liquid on her lower garment was particularly conspicuous at this moment.

“I’m afraid he was scared to wet his pants.”

“Young Master Wang, you have to go apologize.” Someone gloated.

Hong Mei quickly got up and covered Lin Yunnan with a small blanket that she had prepared.

The laughter downstairs grew louder and louder.

“Miss Hong Mei, why bother serving this kind of master, it’s better to come with me.” Wang Cheng was even more proud, seeing Lin Yunnan’s cowardice, he brought his own guards and flew up to the second floor to snatch her.

He had long been fond of Hong Mei, but this girl was only selling her art and not her body.

“Was it him who bothered Hong Mei last time?” With the cover of the folding fan, Lin Yunnan asked in a low voice.

“Yes, Master.” Cai Mei responded and stepped forward to protect Hong Mei.

“Oh, this little beauty, follow Hong Mei with me, and I will ensure you eat and drink well.” Wang Cheng’s eyes squinted with laughter, and he raised his hand to touch Cai Mei’s face, but was kicked in the chest by Cai Mei, and retreated several steps before being caught by his guards.

“You are a hot little beauty, I like you even more, go, catch them alive!”

A group of guards swarmed forward, and Luo Shiqing didn’t know where to find a short knife and joined the battle with Cai Mei.

Seeing Wang Cheng’s pig’s trotters reaching for Hongmei, who had no power to resist, Lin Yunnan reacted quickly, pulled the person behind her, pushed her outside the door, turned around and locked the door, clean and neat.

Turning around, she met Wang Cheng’s angry eyes.

She thought to herself, this is not good, this idiot still has to act, she figured out that Wang Cheng was easily angered, now it’s good, she can’t reveal her martial arts, and she also snatched the beauty he liked in public.

Luo Shiqing and Caimei in the distance were unable to cope, entangled by a group of guards.

She turned to run, but was grabbed by Wang Cheng, who grabbed her collar and lifted her outside the railing, her legs dangling in the air.

“I let you, little brat, ruining my good deeds again and again.” Wang Cheng’s eyes were fierce.

“Master!” Cai Mei saw the situation here and exclaimed, wanting to come and save her, but was entangled tightly.

Wang Cheng calculated that the thick snow below would prevent her from getting hurt, and he just wanted her to lose face in public.

As the hand on her collar loosened, she tightly closed her eyes, thinking that if she fell, so be it. If she landed on her hands and knees, so be it.

The sound of wind whizzing past her ears, and suddenly she was caught in a warm embrace with a faint scent of tea.

She cautiously opened her eyes and met a pair of amber-colored eyes that were deep and unfathomable.

She was held in the young man’s arms, steady and stable on the second-floor railing.

Chi Muyao’s toes lightly touched the railing, and he leaped onto the roof of the opposite building while holding her.

This was terrible.
This young master seemed to think the height she fell from earlier wasn’t enough, and now they were even higher. Falling from this height would either be fatal or result in broken limbs.

She swallowed hard, and her voice trembled as she spoke, “Would you mind warning me when you’re about to let go, so I can prepare myself?”

To her surprise, the young man burst into laughter upon hearing her words. “How interesting, how interesting. The Medicine Prince is indeed very interesting.”

He used his knee to gently but firmly push her, and the hand around her waist tightened, pulling her back. She lost her balance and half-lay in his arms, unable to struggle free due to the tight grip around her waist.

“What are you doing, brother?” she asked.

“Shh,” Chi Muyao said, leaning in closer. The possessiveness that had been hidden in his eyes earlier flashed like lightning, and Lin Yunnan saw it clearly.

What a sharp gaze.

A sudden pain in her earlobe, followed by the young man’s warm tongue gently licking the tip of her ear.

She was like a frog being stared at by a poisonous snake, her whole body numb, unable to move.

“I didn’t expect the Medicine Prince to have such a stunning appearance.”

The hand on her waist loosened its grip, carrying her to the platform on the second floor.

The young man turned his head and glanced at her, his eyes filled with warm tea-brown color, no longer the sharpness of before.

He pointed to his own earlobe at her, and spoke softly, silently.

——You are mine

Just four simple words, stirring up a thousand waves.

This person is too terrifying.

She belatedly touched her earlobe, and felt a cold object, firmly attached to her earlobe, unable to be removed.

“Master.” Cai Mei hurried over, “Are you hurt?”

“No.” She shook her head, “Cai Mei, do you have a mirror?”

“A mirror?”

“On her earlobe.” Luo Shiqing also came over at some point, his clothes all torn and tattered.

He drew out the Zhaoxue sword and held it in front of Lin Yunnan.

Looking at the sword, she saw the blue earrings on her earlobes, a particularly beautiful blue gemstone, sparkling in the sunlight.

“What is this?”

“A royal object of Nanping,” Luo Shiqing explained, putting the sword back into its scabbard under Cai Mei’s displeased gaze. “When the royal family of Nanping chooses a spouse, the men wear blue sapphire earrings, and the women wear red rubies.”

“How do I take it off?”

“Without the consent of the earring’s owner, the person wearing these earrings can never take them off.”

“Just an earring, I don’t believe it,” she laughed, reaching out to take it off, the pain from her earlobes causing her eyes to mist over, but the earring didn’t budge.

She couldn’t help but cry out in her heart, what kind of sin had she committed?
To meet someone from Nanping in the kingdom of Beichang, and even if she did, how could the queen’s earrings be worn by her? It was truly a strange encounter even for a man.

The ruler of Nanping must be fond of men.

“The person who put the earrings on you will definitely come looking for you. Rest assured, Your Highness, Shiqing will do his best to protect you.” While she was in a daze, Luo Shiqing’s voice reached her ears.

The young man’s voice was not loud, but it was exceptionally firm.

It seemed that she had gained a lot from this trip.

She had won over Shiqing, taught the young master a lesson, and made her, the cowardly prince who was scared to wet his pants, even more infamous.

Glancing at Wang Cheng, who was lying on the ground behind her and wailing, Lin Yinnan rubbed her forehead. Except for this accident, everything went smoothly.

The next day, the story of the Medicine Prince being so frightened that he wet his pants in the restaurant spread throughout the entire North City. In the streets and alleys, in restaurants and teahouses, everyone came to excitedly talk about it. This kind of amusing story that happened in the wealthy families of the princes became a hot topic after meals.

How incompetent the Medicine Prince was, hiding behind a woman and being scared to the point of running away in a panic.

“How could Prince Yuan, such a master of medicine, teach such a son?”

“The young prince spoiled by a wealthy family. No wonder the Emperor didn’t give the Medicine Prince any real power, not even a position.”

“It’s clearly because of Prince Yuan that he was given the title of Medicine King. If important positions fell into the hands of the Medicine King, wouldn’t things be in chaos?”

In a private room on the third floor of the teahouse.

Lin Yunnan sat on a rosewood chair, listening to the gossip about her in the next room, resting her chin on her hand with a bright smile.

Cai Mei sat opposite her, genuinely admiring her master’s big heart, that she could still be so happy being talked about like this.

“Young master, young lady, the white tea is here.” The tea servant from the teahouse brought a sky-blue teapot to the table, along with two small plates of snacks: a plate of fried melon seeds, a plate of dried sweet potatoes, a plate of crispy fried hawthorns, and a plate of sugared plum.

Looking at these snacks in front of her, Lin Yunnan picked up a sugared plum and tasted it, saying, “Cai Wei is really getting better and better at doing business.”

Cai Wei was the owner of the teahouse in North City. Initially, Lin Yunnan only gave her the tea brewing recipe and the tea supply channels.

No wonder business is so good here.

“Will Sister Cai Wei be returning to the manor for the New Year this year?” Cai Mei also tasted a sugared plum, the fragrance of the plum filling her mouth, sweet but not cloying, really a special flavor when eaten with tea.

“Of course.” Lin Yunnan replied, then reached out to take the tray under the teapot, flipped it over, and two words were written in ink on the bottom of the tray – Royal Family.
