Eternal Love: The Most Pampered General's Wife

Chapter 22's

Li jiao li was delighted that many young masters as well as some mistresses from the prestigious official residence were inviting a niang and herself to chat. Several times he secretly glanced at the young girl who seemed to be below him with a mocking look, he was happy to see jing Mei who was just sitting quietly in the corner and enjoying a dish like a dead mouse.

Pride and pride came into it. He felt that at this banquet she was the first miss of the prime minister's residence li.

“niu mei yiniang ??”, said someone behind niu mei yiniang.

A noble mistress with several other mistresses who followed her was seen laughing at each other and was impressed to mock niu mei yiniang because of the noble mistress' speech.

“niu yiniang gives greetings to wen furen”, said nie mei yiniang. He tightly flanked his hands in the cloth of his long hanfu arms, restraining his emotions. Beside him was li jiao li who saw wen furen from the military residence of the wen noble who called out his nibi with a tone of speech that sounded condescending and mocking to them, he wanted to say a few words but the elbow of his nibble made him wake up and subdue himself to say hello to wen furen.

Wen furen approached li jiao li, he was seen observing li jiao li and touching li jiao li's chin with the fan he was carrying, wen furen raised li jiao li's chin and smiled.

“deservedly, the whole capital said that your son is the number two beauty, in contrast to my precious daughter who is referred to as number three, it is quite offensive to the small feeling of his intention ini”, whispered wen furen gently.

Li jiao li stiffened slightly as wen furen looked at his facial skin with a murderous gaze even though on the outside there was a smile on wen furen's face, but he could tell that this old lady wanted to make something on top of her precious facial skin. Li jiao li slowly retreated, he slightly moved away from wen furen and lowered his head.

“wen furen is too praising another flower than his own, it will hurt another”, reply li jiao li gently.

Wen furen laughed at the young miss's reply from this li residence.he alone could see the greed in the eyes of this young girl.

“my precious jade is still precious jade, not proud like bad peacock, even looks beautiful but still dirt is in their bodies”, replied casually wen furen.

Niu yiniang glared furiously, on the other hand, li jiao li's eyes looked red as if holding back his cry from falling. Everyone who was at the banquet saw how the wen furen who looked oppressed the little girl whose age was far below him. Several whispers followed after because of wen furen's actions that crossed the line.

Wen furen who felt aggrieved due to this one move from the young miss in front of him, he only smiled lightly and covered half his face with a fan.

“aiyo, li guniang is very sensitive, this is just a misunderstanding is not we are talking about the fine decoration that we have bought because this furen is very interested in bringing another”, turn wen furen.

Niu yiniang who felt that wen furen gave her a warning, she quickly followed wen furen with a few words and a smile.

In the corner of the room, jing Mei who was looking from the beginning to the end of the word struggle between wen furen and li jiao li only sighed. This was what he did not like about the banquets and gatherings of nobles because there would be a status that limited them.

Jing Mei stood up from her seat, she walked out from inside the banquet hall because she felt that inside was too claustrophobic and stuffy.

Jing mei walked down the gardens of the imperial palace, all faint and dark. Maybe if it was daytime, the scenery he saw would calm him down a little. Jing Mei hugged herself as she realized that she was a little further away from the palace where the banquet was held.

White ??

He raised his hand and some of the grains fell on his hands. The snow that falls looks very contrasting between the black of night and the white of snow. He involuntarily smiled blankly, there was a clear pain radiating in his eyes when he saw this black sky above him. And the memory of when he was chased by a monstrous beast was vividly remembered in his mind, jing mei jolted in shock and trembled violently. He who almost fell suddenly his body was restrained by something that made him not fall on hard ground.

Right!!. she forgot the man's face, jing Mei seemed to be trying hard to remember about the generous face that helped her.

“little girl, what are you doing in the snow in thin” clothes, whispered a heavy voice behind her.

Jing Mei was surprised and bristled as the heavy whispering voice sounded so clearly beside her ear. And after that, he felt something hanging between his shoulders and wrapped around his body, warm. An embroidered black robe neatly embraced his body, an unfamiliar but invigorating scent gushing in filled his sense of smell.

Zheng bai looked at the small and slender stature of this young lady of the li residence who had grown smaller due to her embroidered black robe wrapping around the small body. Maybe because the body of jing may that he felt less growing because of the high limit of this young girl was only in his chest, or maybe in the future he will grow tall again, he said, thought the currently lowered zheng bai looking at the figure of jing mei in front of him.

Very small, he thought.

Before meeting this girl, the previous one who had just entered together with the emperor inadvertently his attention was immediately fixed on this girl who was seen separating herself from the boring conversation between nobles. And when he saw her coming out of the room, he also involuntarily walked behind her.

As the snow falls, and it gets heavier. He could see clearly, the thin skin of this young lady who was pale white and thin, looked smaller than the last one he saw.

As he smiled, zheng bai felt that it was neither a cold smile nor something else, he felt a sense of emptiness, and something stifling, he frowned, he frowned, he felt something scratching his heart. And just as the body was about to fall, he could not let the fragile puppet-like human fall and crumble.

Jing mei quickly took a few steps back from zheng bai, she slightly lowered her head and quietly took her breath and then looked up.

“thank you for your help, daren”, said jing mei, he saw a foreign man whose face was partially covered with a black mask.

He slightly held back his senses due to the unusual aura released by this foreign man in front of him, the dark and gloomy aura felt colder than the cold air he felt at this moment.

Zheng bai raised his eyebrows hearing this young miss before him.ah, right. He just remembered that he was currently wearing a mask and maybe this girl did not remember him. A cold smile was seen at a glance adorning his lips. Zheng bai saw a clear distance jing may had made for him as the other young ladies wished to stay longer in his arms.

Jing mei opened the embroidered black robe that this man had given her, she carefully stretched out the robe to its owner. Zheng bai looked at the slender hand that looked like a fragile twig was extending his cloak to him.

He chuckled, and stepped closer to jing mei.                                                            

“tu..sir, you, take back your cloak”, said jing Mei a little surprised by what this man in front of her did.

He himself tried to make a stable voice but still he felt threatened and vigilant because the footsteps of this foreign man in front of him seemed to want to approach him and felt intimidating. He glanced at the surroundings but was instead startled by the figures he recognized, jing Mei looked towards the foreign man in front of her and the direction where she saw niu yiniang and jiao li, jing Mei pulled out zheng bai's hand but this man did not move an inch out of his place, and it made jing mei frustrated.

He was very panicked, and zheng bai who was happy to see the new expression jing mei put out.
