Chapter 15: Repeated Battles and Defeats
It turns out that Huaxiang Rong's self-righteous charm may still be a bit lacking.
In her understanding, it was probably that she had done something less, forgotten to bat her eyelashes, or forgotten to make some seductive moves. Or maybe she forgot to say some attractive words...
Because, on that evening, everything was ready and waiting for Xiao Yuehan to go to Xue Ling Garden to spend the spring night with her, Hua Xiang Rong sat at the table and waited until dawn without hearing the bell outside reporting that the king had arrived.
The next morning, Hua Xiang Rong woke up with panda eyes, furious after receiving the news that Xiao Yue Han had played chess with Concubine Yu Mei in her Meixiang Garden last night and then spent the night at Consort Fu's Furu Garden, but didn't come to see her.
This is a huge mansion, almost as big as half of the Forbidden City. The prince who lives here, over a thousand miles away from the imperial capital, is basically a local emperor. If it weren't for his father, the emperor, still being alive in the distance, this wolf-like man with wild ambitions would probably have proclaimed himself king by now.
If there were more concubines, wouldn't this palace be no different from a harem?
Although Hua Xiang Rong didn't care, she still hated it so much that her teeth ached. Yesterday, wasn't it obvious that Xiao Yue Han had desires for her? Although she was despicable to think of using such an unrefined way to capture his heart, since he also liked this way, why did she end up losing again in this round?
As a result, Huaxiang Rong had no choice but to change her fighting style. Since the teasing approach of occasionally showing up and disappearing didn't work on Xiao Yuehan, she simply went all out directly.
She was a beautiful and charming upper-middle-class woman who had once been in the arms of wealthy second-generation entrepreneurs, able to enthrall people's hearts and protect her own body with her unique charm.
Since Xiao Yuehan was clearly intentionally going against her wishes, obviously wanting to see her disappointed and disheartened, she deliberately didn't cater to his wishes either. She smiled, a triumphant smile, as she continued fishing, continued laughing and frolicking in the garden, even occasionally breaking into little swan dances whenever he appeared, humming happy tunes.
But when Xiao Yuehan seemed to ignore her existence and walked past, his face still wore a subtle smile. Hua Xiang Rong couldn't help but stop dancing, standing amidst the deliberately arranged beautiful flowers, her pale jade hands clenched into fists, taking deep breaths, suppressing her emotions, speaking in a low, trembling voice: "The world is so beautiful, yet I am so violent! This won't do, this won't do!"
Every time she returns to Xue Ling Garden with her head hung low like a defeated little chick, letting Ling Tong give her a massage and wash her with her homemade floral bath gel, she always regains a thread of fighting spirit and starts researching the battle plan for the next day.
She had to admit that Xiao Yuehan was indeed a very clever and cunning man, who saw through everything but didn't come forward to confront her, letting her exhaust herself every day by fighting with her own self until she fell asleep.
No, she indeed was with Xiao Yue Han Ming Dou An Dou, repeatedly defeated, clearly the two of them had no intersection in the past two months, but she could feel from Xiao Yue's occasional glance at her, that deep and profound black pupils reflected a very strong ridicule.
Until...
One day, the opportunity came!
