Chapter 187: 187 The air suddenly turns cold Chapter 187: 187 The air suddenly turns cold Ye Jiu awkwardly coughed twice and looked at Ye Jiu’s pouting little face. Prince Jing couldn’t help but want to coax her, “You know, Ye Jiu, I’ve just realized that although you’re not very beautiful, you’re still quite adorable. Just relax a bit, they say a woman changes eighteen times as she grows up–who knows, you might not be as ugly as you are now when you get older.”

Ye Jiu covered her ears and silently turned away.

Prince Jing, who had never coaxed anyone before, helplessly touched his nose. He had intended to appease her, but somehow he felt the more he tried, the angrier she seemed to get.

“Well, I’ve never coaxed a girl and I’m not good at sweet-talking, but I genuinely meant to compliment you. Don’t be mad; you’re not pretty, and you look even uglier when you’re angry,” Prince Jing continued with his foot-in-mouth remarks.

Meanwhile, Ye Jiu looked up suspiciously, “You’ve never coaxed a girl? What are you joking about? You’re quite old already, surely you must have a bunch of wives and kids, right? How could you have never coaxed a girl?”

Prince Jing immediately blushed, “What bunch of wives and kids? I am very self-disciplined.”

Would Ye Jiu believe that?

A self-disciplined man who forced his Princess Consort to swap her firstborn daughter?

Moreover, was this man, barely fifteen or sixteen eleven years ago, really worried about not having a son to inherit the throne at such a young age?

Ha!

Seeing Ye Jiu’s obviously skeptical look, Prince Jing jumped up and protested, “I am now twenty-seven years old, and I only have one Chief Consort and two Concubines in addition to the two side concubines in my estate. I don’t go to the Flower Building or indulge in frivolities, I am far more self-disciplined than those men whose backyards are too small for all their women!”

With five women and still declaring self-discipline, Ye Jiu really couldn’t agree.

However, thinking about the Emperor’s three thousand concubines, perhaps he really was quite self-disciplined!

This ancient era, truly a paradise for men and a hell for women!

“Not true.” Just as Ye Jiu was reflecting, Prince Jing, in a shock, protested, “Ugly girl, what business do you have prying into my household affairs? I must warn you, although I have a favorable impression of you, I definitely have no intention of including you in my household. Don’t think too much.”

“Cough, cough, cough…” Ye Jiu almost choked to death on her saliva.

Prince Jing got a shock and subconsciously reached out to pat her back, comforting her, “Well… it’s not that I’m unwilling, you know, you’re just too young at this age, and I don’t share the same taste as that sinister General Wei Wu.”

On the other side, Sikong Mo had been paying attention to Ye Jiu, intentionally or unintentionally.

Being a martial artist, his senses were naturally very sharp, coupled with his deliberate attention, he heard every word of Prince Jing and Ye Jiu’s conversation without miss.

Especially when Ye Jiu inquired about Prince Jing’s household matters, it made his already icy expression even more somber.

Then, seeing Prince Jing patting Ye Jiu’s back, Sikong Mo felt as if his heart was being scratched by a cat’s claws.

Without control, he walked over and sat next to Ye Jiu, just silently observing the two.

Meanwhile, Ye Jiu was looking down, silently searching for a stone or something lethal nearby to perform her righteous duty of kin-slaying.

However, after searching for a long time, she found nothing and had to give up.

But suddenly, she felt the air around her grow colder.

It wasn’t just Ye Jiu; even Prince Jing felt the same.
