The Farm Girl's Charismatic Fortune-Chapter 324 - 320 Being Loved by All Technique

The old shopkeeper nearly laughed out loud at the speechless expression Princess Xuanbao had caused.

It was only when encountering Princess Xuanbao that the young master’s expressions could be so varied.

He let down the curtain and drove the carriage away.

Ruo Xuan, completely oblivious, saw that Xuanyuan Que still hadn’t opened his mouth to bite into the candied hawthorn, so she took it back and handed him a sugar figurine from her other hand, "Brother Xuanyuan, eat this, it’s very sweet."

Ruo Xuan’s method of eating sugar figurines was to lick them. She had unlocked a new way of eating, which was to nibble on the candied hawthorn and lick the sugar figurine at the same time.

The candied hawthorn was made from hawthorns, a bit sour, so eating the candied hawthorn and licking the sugar figurine was just perfect!

The combination of sour and sweet was very much to Ruo Xuan’s liking.

The licked sugar figurine was wet and sticky, bumping against Xuanyuan Que’s lips.

The sweet, cloying scent spread around his nose and lips, carrying a faint floral fragrance.

He turned his head away, "I don’t want to eat it."

Ruo Xuan, "But it’s really good."

"I don’t want to eat." He took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.

"Alright then!" Ruo Xuan retracted the sugar figurine and ate it herself.

Xuanyuan Que saw her nibbling on the candied hawthorn and licking the sugar figure, her little tongue pointed and pink, like a small kitten, and silently shifted his gaze away.

No matter how frustrated he was, he couldn’t bring himself to show it.

Tianxiang Tower

Prince Qingping and his family of three had long since arrived.

Prince Qingping had booked a private room on the third floor by the window, from which one could see the front entrance of Tianxiang Tower.

Which is to say, whoever entered Tianxiang Tower would be known.

Such a private room wasn’t the most expensive one in Tianxiang Tower but was most convenient for observing others.

Because it had a compartment set up, one could hide inside while using the outer section to receive guests.

Moreover, those who arrived early, as long as they came in advance, could get a privileged look at their prospective matchmaking partner from above the window.

As soon as Ruo Shan stepped down from the carriage, Princess Zhaohua couldn’t take her eyes off of him.

Princess Qingping, excited, clutched her hand and recognized him at a glance, "Is that him? Is he Ruo Shan?"

In person, he was even more handsome than his portrait!

Princess Zhaohua blushed and nodded her head.

Prince Qingping, holding a teacup, glanced over: He’s just so-so!

Princess Qingping exclaimed excitedly, "He’s taller than your father!"

Prince Qingping, "..."

"His nose is very straight, even straighter than your father’s!"

Seeing only the top of Prince Qingping’s head, how did she determine from what angle the other’s nose was straighter than his?

"The way he walks is really attractive, his back is so straight, much better looking than your father!"

"..."

Unable to listen anymore, Prince Qingping huffed coldly, stood up, and with a flick of his sleeve, went to the adjacent private room.

Ruo Xuan and Xuanyuan Que arrived at Tianxiang Tower and secured a private room.

After dismissing the old shopkeeper, Ruo Xuan wanted to climb onto the roof.

Xuanyuan Que, "Isn’t it comfortable staying in the private room?"

Ruo Xuan, "It’s not that the private room isn’t comfortable, it’s just that the view from the rooftop is better!"

Xuanyuan Que, "..."

He found himself at a loss for words to her comment!

He wanted to say that the rooftop was too sunny, but she was like a flower, and what flowers loved the most was the sunshine.

Xuanyuan Que, "Then go ahead, I’m not going."

"Together!" Ruo Xuan grabbed Xuanyuan Que’s hand, and in an instant, they appeared on the rooftop through teleportation.

Xuanyuan Que, "..."

*

Ruo Shan was respectfully ushered into the private room by Tianxiang Tower’s shopkeeper, who knocked on the door and waited for permission before entering.

He bowed respectfully, "This commoner pays respects to Prince Qingping."

Inside, Princess Qingping whispered excitedly into Princess Zhaohua’s ear, "His voice is so nice to listen to!"

Princess Zhaohua didn’t speak, but she agreed wholeheartedly.

Prince Qingping sipped his tea with his head down, intentionally not greeting him, intending to put the other party in his place first.

Ruo Xuan saw from the rooftop and frowned, "Why is he giving my fifth uncle a hard time?"

"Xuanyuan Que said indifferently, "Because your Uncle wants to marry off his precious daughter, it’s as if he’s snatching away his pearl of great price."

Ruo Xuan understood, deciphering the thoughts of Prince Qingping and realizing that he was determined to cause trouble for her Uncle today.

Her Uncle adored her so much, how could she bear to see him troubled?

Ruo Xuan pinched a "Being Loved by All" Fairy Technique and threw it down.

It was only after casting it that she remembered Divine Lord Xuanyuan had forbidden her from using Immortal Technique at will in the Capital City, and she quickly said, "This is a match made by heaven, what I’m doing doesn’t go against the natural order. Right, Brother Xuanyuan?"

Xuanyuan Que couldn’t even be bothered to glance at Ruo Xuan.

He could never manage her anyway; she always had her excuses.

Seeing that he was silent, Ruo Xuan added, "I’m helping my Uncle, preventing him from being troubled. This can be considered an act of filial piety, right?"

"Mhm," Xuanyuan Que responded helplessly, knowing he’d better reply, or this persistent flower would keep pestering him until he did.

Xuanyuan Que found her nagging bothersome.

If she says it’s right, then it must be, right!

Inside the private room, the wife of Prince Qingping grew anxious, and Princess Zhaohua’s heart also skipped a beat.

How could her father not call for someone to rise?

Behind Prince Qingping was a screen, and the Princess Qingping came behind it and gave a gentle kick to the foot of the screen, signaling a warning to Prince Qingping.

Prince Qingping then said, "Young Master Ruo Shan, you needn’t be so formal. Please, have a seat!"

"Thank you, Prince," Ruo Shan complied, taking a seat at the lower hand of the other side.

It was only then that Prince Qingping took a good look at Ruo Shan and a line of poetry came to mind: "The man on the path is as fair as jade; unparalleled in this world!"

It must have been describing him!

Ruo Shan, regularly treating patients in the medical hall and rarely doing farm work or getting much sun, could be said to be the fairest, most elegantly genteel, and otherworldly among the Ruo brothers.

Constant interaction with patients had long cultivated in him a patience and humility rare among his peers.

As a result, his demeanor bore a gentleness and composure that his age group often lacked.

With the enhancement of Ruo Xuan’s "Being Loved by All" Fairy Technique, Prince Qingping, upon seeing Ruo Shan, felt as if he was looking at a younger version of himself.

Does anyone dislike themselves?

Yes, but definitely not Prince Qingping!

Prince Qingping was vain!

He had thought of displaying full mastery of his skills to trouble Ruo Shan, but under the effects of the "Being Loved by All" Technique, Prince Qingping was all smiles as he looked at Ruo Shan, "Do you play chess?" ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Ruo Shan was momentarily stunned but quickly regained his composure and responded without any change in expression, "Yes."

In the room, Princess Zhaohua’s face was the picture of utter despair!

Her father was so malicious!

"Come, play a game with me," Prince Qingping suggested, who was very fond of chess but often found few willing to join him.

And that was because he was unmatched in chess across the land!

"Yes."

There was a chessboard ready in the elegant room, laid out on a table in front of the window.

They sat down opposite each other by the window, each grasping a piece, with Prince Qingping holding the black pieces, and black moving first.

Prince Qingping believed that one’s approach to chess revealed one’s character, and so he wanted to see just what kind of chess character Ruo Shan had!

If his character in chess was good, he would agree to marry his daughter to him!

"Young Master Ruo, given you study medicine, do you find the time to play chess?"

Ruo Shan: "I learned when I was young but haven’t played for a long time."

That means his skill in chess is mediocre.

"I’ll give you a five-piece advantage," the Prince said. "If you can win against me, I will grant you a request."

"Thank you, Prince."

Ruo Xuan was reassured: "Just by looking, one can tell Prince Qingping is not skilled in chess. My Uncle is certain to win!"

The Ruo brothers were all intelligent, each with different interests but proficient in their own right, and they understood what needed to be understood.

Their skills in chess were quite impressive!

Xuanyuan Que: "But he’s thick-skinned."

Ruo Xuan: "What does having thick skin have to do with chess skill?"

Xuanyuan Que gestured for Ruo Xuan to watch and see for herself.

After the five-piece handicap, Prince Qingping ceased to make concessions.

Then, as Ruo Shan with the white pieces was about to make a move, Prince Qingping interjected, "Wait!"

He swiftly picked up his chess piece, "I didn’t move here! I played this!"

Ruo Shan: "..."
