Abandoned Princesses
Jealous

"Shen Haofeng!" Qiao Rong called out to the man from behind.

Shen Haofeng immediately turned his body around. Behind the mask, his face was already displaying a look of surprise as he saw Qiao Rong running towards him with tears in his eyes.

The girl immediately hugged him without saying any more. While sobbing, Qiao Rong's embrace felt tighter and tighter.

Shen Haofeng only smiled as he stroked the girl's back slowly.

"What makes you sad?" Ask gently.

"You! Hicks.." Qiao Rong looked annoyed.

"Eh?" Shen Haofeng was confused. He gave the girl a gift, was that also wrong?

"Why didn't you ever tell me you just came out of the woods when you were thirteen? Do you intend to marry me without telling me anything?" Qiao Rong said in annoyance.

Shen Haofeng did not even need to think about being able to figure out who told Qiao Rong about his past.

Jiang Junwei's.

Just look at what punishment the poor man will get later for mispronouncing.

"I've been meaning to tell you." Shen Haofeng released himself from Qiao Rong's embrace and stood his back to the girl. Shen Haofeng could not lie at all. The look on his face would instantly sell himself. Therefore he could only turn his face away.

"really?" Qiao Rong asked in disbelief.

Just at that moment there was a voice calling from behind them.

"Your Majesty!" A male voice approached Qiao Rong, Shen Haofeng was eager to turn back his body to see who was calling out to Qiao Rong so happily. But his pride did not let him do that.

"ah! Master Liu!" Qiao Rong turned his body back and looked at Liu Liwei who was walking with a smile towards him.

"Am I disturbing something? This must be the honorable Moon King. Greetings to Master, I am Liu Liwei from Yuan Kingdom." Liu Liwei asked as he approached in a friendly manner and clenched his hands in front of his chest to greet Qiao Rong and Shen Haofeng.

Qiao Rong returned the fist and glanced at Shen Haofeng who was still silent.

Well, he wants to play hard apparently.

"Ah of course not! We just met by accident." Qiao Rong said with a smile.

Shen Haofeng who had just intended to turn around suddenly froze for a moment as Qiao Rong said 'just met by accident just now'. Shen Haofeng was stunned. Did they meet by accident? Then who was the girl who just hugged him?

"Ah.. Apparently so... I'm here because I have business with His Majesty the Emperor regarding the export of rice, but I'm lost here." Reply Liu Liwei who was also smiling.

Qiao Rong chuckled.

"Then, let me point you at the Palace Hall, Father will definitely be very happy to see you." Qiao Rong walked slowly towards Liu Liwei.

"I can only obey Princess Rong." Liu Liwei lowered his head and smiled kindly at Qiao Rong.

And the two of them walked side by side leaving Shen Haofeng at that place.

Shen Haofeng was stunned. He felt like a statue that had just regained consciousness. After Shen Haofeng turned his back, the two people were already not within his sight range.

"Ah.. Your Majesty, I guess we'll go straight to the Palace Hall?" Liu Liwei asked puzzledly as Qiao Rong instead took her to the royal kitchen.

"Of course not. As a guest, I have to give you a welcome gift first, right?" Qiao Rong smiled mischievously. He hoped that Shen Haofeng's head was already filled with smoke by now.

"Ha-gift?"

Qiao Rong took out one of the freshly finished sweets from the jar and directly gave it to Liu Liwei.

"A good sweet to start the day. Isn't that so, Mr Liu?" Qiao Rong smiled widely. Fortunately, the man behind her appeared at the right time. This was his punishment for Shen Haofeng.

Liu Liwei smiled. He decided to follow their game.

"Ah.. I see the Princess needs help?" Ask Liu Liwei.

"Well.. You could say that?" Qiao Rong said casually. He and Liu Liwei had been conversing for quite a long time and were familiar at the time of the victory banquet. They can be considered as friends, although not too close.

Liu Liwei suddenly grabbed onto Qiao Rong's arm and slowly pulled her until the girl's body turned completely towards him.

Liu Liwei then pulled him closer, and pointed the sweets directly into Qiao Rong's mouth.

"I'll be happy to accompany you to play."

Instantly all the ladies in the royal kitchen could not help but whisper in surprise at the scene that was happening in front of them.

It seems like there will soon be rumors circulating.

*****

Shen Haofeng clucked.

He was going to punish Jiang Junwei as soon as he finished talking to Qiao Rong. Who knew that suddenly there would be a man he didn't know and take his girl for granted?

Shen Haofeng paced on the spot. He had been waiting for Jiang Junwei long enough to find out about the two people.

From behind, Jiang Junwei finally arrived.

"How's it?" Shen Haofeng asked in panic.

"Emmm.." Jiang Junwei hesitated. Very doubtful. Wouldn't his master directly beat Liu Liwei on the spot?

"Say!"

"The ladies in the royal kitchen said.. Liu Liwei feeds Princess Rong..?" Shen Haofeng's face darkened.

"Look, Your Majesty, I came this time to take care of the problem of rice exports in the Xi'an area." Liu Liwei began to speak to the Emperor, while Qiao Rong listened only from the side.

A few minutes ago they had arrived at the Palace Hall and were facing the Emperor.

Qiao Rong was also actually somewhat interested in the rice export issue that Liu Liwei talked about when they ate the sweets earlier.

There was still no action from Shen Haofeng.

Actually Qiao Rong was confused, was that man really not affected at all?

"The export of rice from Xi'an to the Yuan Kingdom seemed to be having a lot of trouble due to the large amount of rice being robbed on the street. Surprisingly they all said that it was a bandit in the mountains. The emperor had already sent people to investigate it, but there were no bandits at all." Liu Liwei.

"Hm.. What do you think?" Ask Emperor.

"It looks like this problem is caused by the poverty of the population, Your Majesty." Liu Liwei.

"Oh?" The emperor pretended to be surprised.

"I think this could be the result of a conspiracy of the people. Plus the Governor in Xi'an raised the rice tax last month, no wonder that they would steal the exported rice." Liu Liwei said firmly and confidently.

"It seems I don't need to talk anymore in this matter right? Haha." The emperor was pleased.

"Prime Minister Liu's son is indeed extraordinarily intelligent." Continue Emperor.

"Hamba doesn't deserve your praise." Liu Liwei lowered his head.

The emperor laughed happily.

"Then I'll deal with this with Governor Xi'an. You can tell Emperor Yuan to stay calm." Emperor's Reply.

Liu Liwei nodded in agreement and was pleased. His mission to the Wen Kingdom was complete.

Suddenly from the door of the Palace Hall, appeared Shen Haofeng who had a grim face.

"King of the Moon? Uh.." The emperor looked confused.

According to the Emperor, the arrival of the Moon King was definitely not a good sign.

Suddenly the figure of the man at the door disappeared.

Liu Liwei faced Qiao Rong before standing up, and the girl was also missing, nowhere to be seen.
