The Empress Behind the Veil

Chapter 193 Really Like Two Different People

At the very front of all the tables there was a large table reserved for the high officials of Kang Qing Kingdom. The top leftmost position there is the most luxurious and beautiful wood carving chair. The table in front of him was covered with a cream-colored blanket. Then on the blanket was placed the royal family's tableware. No need to ask anymore, the one who could sit in such a place was only the Crown Prince of Beifeng– Kingdom Prince Funing.

Tonight, Emperor Zhaolie was also dressed very luxuriously. He was wearing a white robe with a blend of green shades. He wore a black robe and a black waist belt as well. The red ribbons and jade on top of the crown were removed and replaced with a white rope. He sits among the officials of the country. The dark gaze of his eyes scanned all the people in the hall and everyone in the hall fell silent and did not dare to make any sound.

“Esteemed Emperor, Living a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years ..”

“Stand!”

“Thank you Emperor ...”

When Qin Ruojiu came, the atmosphere there became warmer. She who was wearing a gold-colored dress with a beautiful embroidery of pomegranates and birds was able to make everyone's eyes fixed on her.

He walked in slowly. The dress and makeup she wore today made her look very beautiful. Coupled with a black veil covering her face it made her look even more mysterious.

Emperor Zhaolie who saw that immediately stood up and walked towards him to support him and said with a smile, “Queen, you have come?”

Qin Ruojiu also smiled gently and her eyes looked so radiant like jade that emitted a dazzling light.

Then, he sat down on the chair that was to the right of Emperor Zhaolie. Unknowingly, he looked towards Kang Yin who was sitting to the left of Emperor Zhaolie. He was wearing white all over his body. His handsome face looks like a perfect painting. All of it was etched so smooth and neatly. The look in his eyes also looked so clear and sincere. Especially when he looked at Qin Ruojiu, the look in his eyes was filled with affection that could make people even more infatuated with him.

Thinking of this, Qin Ruojiu felt warm in his heart, but he also suddenly felt pain. This man in front of him, this man who made him suffer the most instead made him feel unwilling to let go. There was a great turmoil in his heart. Why at a time like this this man treated her so well and was so considerate of her. If he were just a little more rude to her, he would definitely be more determined to leave her instead, right?

Emperor Zhaolie placed him slowly on the chair and said nothing. Then he glanced at his ninth sister who was looking towards Qin Ruojiu with a look of enthusiasm and filled with an unspeakable sense of love. The look in his eyes was much different from his usual rash and lonely self. He really looks like two different people.

Seeing that, the Emperor's heart began to feel displeased. Then he looked at his sister with a cold and cruel look. He tried to suppress the jealousy and anger that was inside him by taking a deep breath. Then he raised his hand and held Qin Ruoiu's leg.

Qin Ruojiu raised her head and the gazes of the two met. Emperor Zhaolie smiled gently at him as if he was calming him down.

“Not bugup?”

Hearing her soft and caring words, Qin Ruojiu's heart became even more sore. He lowered his head and said gently, “It's okay!”

“Do not be afraid, there is an Emperor here, do not be afraid!”

Qin Ruojiu nodded her head then lowered her head. Qin Ruojiu felt indebted to him and did not dare look at him.
