Chapter 1256: Entertainment Programme
The Vassal Prince of Anānan, Chou Fu, strode forward as he reached out to embrace Commandery Princess Yiāanās slim waist with his muscular arm.
He hugged her tightly into his embrace.
This action was done in one breath and gave off a very manly feeling.
However, as the two people were neither married nor engaged, this kind of overly intimate action looked extremely uncanny in everyoneās eyes.
The noble ladies all reached out to cover their mouths in shock.
Yiāan was also both alarmed and furious. She tried to struggle, but the Vassal Prince of Anānanās iron arms were so secure around her waist that she couldnāt break free immediately.
Amidst the peopleās shouts, Vassal Prince Chou Fu swiftly struck out at the gray-clothed personās chest with his palm.
The gray-clothed person didnāt even utter a sound, merely getting pushed back with the Vassal Prince of Anānanās palm strike.
In the blink of an eye, the person fearlessly charged over again with the momentum of killing Commandery Princess Yiāan with a single slash of the saber.
Yiāan originally did not possess a high cultivation, and she had yet to recover her wits from this sudden assassination. This caused her to reflexively shrink into the Vassal Prince of Anānanās embrace, her fair white hands tightly grabbing the lapels on his chest.
The gray-clothed person, along with his three subordinates, surrounded the Vassal Prince of Anānan and attacked him simultaneously.
The valiant vassal prince warded off those peopleās attacks while hugging Commandery Princess Yiāanās waist with one arm and only occasionally retaliating with his sword.
Meanwhile, Qiao Muās party was standing far away from them.
When the gray-clothed assassin appeared on site with his subordinates, Qiao Mu and the othersā first reaction was quite hilarious.
They simultaneously reached out to grab the spit, the platter, the meat, etc., and moved backwards with them to avoid the possibility of the dust that got kicked up during the fight spoiling their food.
Thatās why they were all deadpan when they saw the vassal prince saving the damsel in distress.
After moving the food and equipment to a safe distance, everyone sat down on the lawn and continued to drink and eat collectedly.
After the Vassal Prince of Anānan stabbed that gray-clothed man with his sword, the man quickly waved his hand and beat a hasty retreat with the other assassins.
They came quickly and ran off quickly, the whole incident taking no more than 10 minutes.
Duan Yue shook his head speechlessly. āTheir performance is too fake.ā
With Duan Yue, Situ Yi, and companyās intelligence, as well as those peopleās overly fake performances, there was no hiding it from them.
Crown Prince Mo said with a smile, āNo matter, just treat it as an entertainment programme to go with our meal.ā
āWhat entertainment programme? Why donāt I understand what you guys are talking about.ā Liang Qingqing was not as crafty as the rest and simply didnāt understand what performance these people were talking about. She only knew that the people at the royal court were quite calculative.
Qiao Mu knitted her brows and looked over at Yiāan and the Vassal Prince of Anānan before retracting her gaze. She then said to Liang Qingqing, āJust ignore them.ā
A group of buffoons making fools of themselves.
To obtain the beautyās favor, the Vassal Prince of Anānan actually arranged such an unfathomable performance of saving the damsel in distress.
It truly made one unable to form a favorable impression of him.
On the other end, the farce came to a hasty end with the Vassal Prince of Anānan gently placating the terror-stricken Commandery Princess Yiāan.
Afterward, the Vassal Prince of Anānan volunteered to escort Commandery Princess Yiāan back to the palace.
Yet Commandery Princess Yiāanās gaze kept drifting over in Qiao Muās direction as she glanced at the crown prince through the crowd in infatuation.
