Among the people present, only Ziyan knows that this is the true face of Dan Lin Prince, among all the treacherous evils in the world add up are not enough to compare to this one bad belly.
Such a person, if they can’t get what they want, it’s hard to imagine what terrible things will happen.
Like seeing an escape door open in front of him being closed again one after another, Ziyan’s heart sinks slightly, biting his lower lip, he tries to keep his tone calm, “Duke Ming, the double luminous sand route discussed by this subordinate and His Highness indeed at a critical moment, reunion is such a trivial matter, we can do it later when we have a chance.”
“That’s right, everyone is welcome to visit Dan Lin in the future.” He Di smiles with satisfaction, and friendly asks Ziyan, “Why is Ziyan sitting alone and not eating? Try this.” He takes a thumb-sized crispy cookie and deliver it to Ziyan’s lips.
This action is really ambiguous and the target is always the rigorous and quiet Ziyan, the attendees, including Rong Hu, all watch it.
Zi Yan is teased in public by He Di, so embarrassed that he almost wanted to pull out his sword and split the bastard in half. Such shameless things that can be done in Tong An courtyard place where there’s no one, even dare to do in front of Duke Ming and others…
Fuck his meticulous service!
He didn’t want to be served like this by a lewd actor!
The small crispy cookie pressed against the soft lower lip, and He Di guesses what he’s thinking from the tight lines on Ziyan’s face, he’s smiling while pretending to leisurely talk with an intimate expression, while approaching his ears he whispers at a volume that only Ziyan can hear, “Who promised to accept the meticulous service of This Prince, who promised to fulfill it to the end and never regret it halfway through? Open your mouth.”
Ziyan breaths suddenly, staring at the nowhere in front and finally opens his lips slightly.
He Di smiles and stuffs the pastry into his mouth, he moves even closer to Ziyan, almost attach each other shoulders and knees.
“Duke Ming seems surprised?” He Di says.
“Ah? Ah? Oh, this is a little surprising, wow…” Feng Ming couldn’t help but reach out his head, Luo Yun knows he wants to scratch his head like a fool, he pats his hand mercilessly in the back, making a crisp sound. Feng Ming holds the back of his tender hand that was beaten until red, but can’t be pitiful in front of outsiders, he can only pretend to cough like nothing happens, and says, “I didn’t expect Ziyan and the prince to be so familiar in a few days.”
“Dan Lin custom have always been friendly.” He Di explains gracefully, “especially for precious guest, the host must personally accompany and take care of everything to show the importance of the guest.”
Ziyan pinches his neck to swallow the hateful pastry, because he’s in such a hurry that his throat is stuck and dry. He Di keep his mind on him, while talking to Feng Ming he looks at his wrong expression, his hand quickly pick up his half-warm tea and sent it to Ziyan’s mouth, he softly says, “Take a quick sip. Yes This Prince hasn’t thought carefully, you haven’t slept well for days, and you shouldn’t eat such dry pastry.”
Just like the husband treated his wife, he pampers and forces Ziyan to drink more than half of the cup of tea, Ziyan can’t resist, he’s so embarrassed that his blood go straight to his brain, his vision is blurred for a while, and when he regained his sense his lips feel a soft and comfortable feeling.
It turns out that he Di takes his own clean towel and thoughtfully wipes a little tea dripping down the corner of his mouth.
Ziyan’s chest is almost explode angrily, he ferociously swings the clean towel with He Di’s marks on it which probably 80% had been used by He Di, and lowered his voice, “Fuck off.”
He Di’s smile remain unchanged, he clenches his hand in a place where no one else can see and caught Ziyan unable to break free for a while, he bullies him and threatens in his ears. “It’s the last time you are rude to This Prince. From now on, the envoy’s opportunity to lose your temper has been used up, If you dare to disobey again, I will let the Xiao family fleet disappear one by one in the sea area of Dan Lin and you can’t even find the wreckage of the people and the ship. Now, give me a smile, you don’t want Duke Ming to worry about you too much, right?”
He Di keeps smiling all the time, It’s as if it’s just a sweet whisper between him and Ziyan.
Ziyan is threatened by him, considering the overall situation, he had to reluctantly lift up his facial nerves and squeeze out a black pot-like smile.
It was only then that He Di pushes away a little and speaks to Ziyan with a pleasant manner at a volume that everyone can hear. “Don’t worry, Ming Wang also knows that we can’t respond to his request for the sake of the shipping route, it was because The Xirei King trusted you that he would leave such an important matter to you, of course you should focus on the business as the first priority.” It’s as if he was discussing business with Ziyan just now.
With that said, he skillfully helps Ziyan to straighten the whole collar.
Feng Ming and the others are so stunned that it takes a long while before they can react.
Feng Ming is amazed, “the custom in your kingdom is really friendly.”
“Right.”
“Yes yes.”
“I was worried that Ziyan would be unaccustomed across the ocean alone to be an envoy in Dan Lin, now that His Highness He Di is here, we can finally rest assured.”
“That’s right.”
Everyone unanimously say that Prince He Di takes a good care of Ziyan, they exchange eyes to each other and yell the same word in their hearts. Adultery!
Needless to say, it certainly The Prince He Di and Ziyan who have been together for the past few days, sparking the spark of love, they are deeply in love with each other, that they are inextricably separated.
Ziyan usually knows nothing but to work and practice swords, he didn’t expect that the spring of love comes all of a sudden, it’s nice to be able to train a fierce and unruly foreign prince to be so considerate and affectionate!
Seeing him sitting like this being taken care by the prince who is feeding and pouring him the tea, Feng Ming can’t help but thinking of the scene where Rong Tian fed him breakfast, sure enough it was so sweet, no wonder there was no news since Ziyan arrived at Tong An courtyard until he sent the letter.
Love is everything.
Ziyan is almost shot into bleeding hole by these gratifying eyes cast from his own people, a wave of annoyance in his heart can’t be vent, can only be hold back and make his handsome face flushed.
Feng Ming sighs in his heart, after being nourished by love, Ziyan will blush as easily as ordinary people. This time he really picked the right person to become a special envoy to Dan Lin, whom not only guarantees important contracts, but also leads to a good marriage. It seems that This Duke Ming’s talent is not bad.
(t/n: ‘This’ 本/Ben is used to express oneself, This King, This Prince, and so on. it’s to differentiate them from ordinary people. In the sentence above Feng Ming only use ‘本/Ben’ for the first time)
Qiu Lan also sigh silently, she usually listens to others say how powerful Prince He Di is, that he’s as terrible as a wild animal which almost destroyed the Xiao family fleet on the Aman River. Didn’t expect that things are equal to each other, this licentious prince met Ziyan, he was as gentle as if he had been a different person, even he didn’t hesitate to deign to serve him.
Rong Hu didn’t think so much, he’s still Ziyan’s brother of many years, he only thinks the most practical thing, looking at how He Di’s manner to Ziyan, needless to say, at least Ziyan’s safety must be guaranteed.
If anyone including Qing Li want to touch even a single string of Ziyan’s hair they must ask He Di first.
This is also a good thing.
Although Luo Yun is very unfamiliar with Ziyan, after all Ziyan is also a person sent by the Young Master. Whether or not he is really hooked up with Prince He Di, at least the Young Master’s business will not be delayed.
So all the people present, except Ziyan, are satisfied and laugh with joy.
The atmosphere become more and more harmonious.
Feng Ming now considered He Di as his “family”, so his attitude towards He Di is even more amicable. Speaking of the current route plan, He Di also seriously talks about several things to be done recently, some decision need the support of the Dan Lin royal family, and he has sent people back to the Kingdom to send letters.
Talking about his experience in Tongze, He Di remembered that before leaving, Liu Ding asked, and conveniently says, “By the way, Princess Chang Liu wants me to say hello to Duke Ming on her behalf.”
When mentioning Princess Chang Liu, Feng Ming can only think of one thing —— that damn Wen Lan that he didn’t know what it’s for.
Feng Ming suddenly changes color and wipes his sweat awkwardly. “I know, I know, Princess Chang Liu … I’m working on it.” He turns around and asks Rong Hu, “have you sent someone to deliver the letter I wrote to my mother?”
Rong Hu knew that Feng Ming had worked hard for this for a long time, he replies, “It has been sent and brought along with various gifts selected by Duke Ming. I hope the lady will feel better when she received the letter this time, and promised to give Wen Lan as soon as possible to put an end to Duke Ming’s worry.”
Although Ziyan was so embarrassed several times that he wanted to pull the sword and cut people, but he’s the kind of person who focus on business, when he heard the new word Wen Lan, he couldn’t help but ask, “What does Wen Lan have to do with Princess Chang Liu?”
Feng Ming froze and soon comes to understand, “Oh, you haven’t been on the boat all the time, so you don’t know about this, right?”
Storytelling is his hobby and the story is so beautiful and touching, Feng Ming immediately told the story he heard from Du Feng, he conveniently explains all at once that because his mother Lady Yaoye’s bad temper, Wen Lan hasn’t yet arrived so he’s continuing to strive for it.
He Di and Ziyan haven’t completely understood the relationship between Chang Liu and Feng Ming so far. After hearing this, they are saying in their hearts, no wonder the two of them would set up a covenant. It turns out that it has been related for a long time, so it makes sense.
Anyway, Princess Chang Liu asked them to say the greetings that they had said, the covenant between Princess Chang Liu and Duke Ming is not their business, and it is not mentioned.
Everyone drink tea, eat snacks and chat for nearly an hour, Feng Ming still has something to do and He Di can’t wait to go back early and continue to “serve” his stubborn envoy, also Ziyan who has endured the look of everyone’s eyes just wanted to leave quickly.
With a slight gesture, it was clear that the party was over.
Before leaving, Feng Ming lifts his glass and solemnly says to He Di, “His Highness He Di please take care of Ziyan in the future.”
He Di is absolutely willing to accept this request, and gladly repliesy, “Duke Ming rest assure.”
“To Princess Chang Liu, please don’t worry, I will try to get Wen Lan as soon as possible.”
“This Prince will tell on behalf of Duke Ming.”
“Ziyan, you have to take good care of yourself, and get along well with Prince He Di. If you can go out, it’s best if you come back and join us often.”
Ziyan’s heart is bitter and unbearable, if it’s not for his resolute character, he had long been wailing at Duke Ming’s feet and crying about all He Di’s shameful behaviors, now he can only hold back and grit his teeth, “Duke Ming rest assure, this subordinate will get along well with Prince He Di.” Suddenly he gets up and salute to Feng Ming afterwards, he’s going to leave the thick carpet that made him uncomfortable.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turns around to find his boots, his left ankle is grasped. Looking back, he looks at He Di with a wicked smile on his face, “Special Envoy, your boots are here.” His Highness Prince Dan Lin kneeling on one knee at the edge of the carpet, holding his feet in one hand and help him put on his boots.
How can there be such a shameless person in the world! ?
Ziyan is grabbed by his ankle, worry about Duke Ming and his contract, he wants to scold but can’t scold, wants to struggle also can’t get rid of it, he really wants to kick He Di away, but unfortunately can’t do so, can only be petrified on the spot, his whole face is ashen waiting for him to put the boots on himself.
Naturally, Feng Ming and others on the side, are moved by Prince He Di’s affection.
They once again determined that sending Ziyan to Dan Lin is the best option!
Ziyan and He Di have long part in this vol.17, until last chapter.
