Volume 1: Phoenix Conceals Cloud Nation Chapter 9: Leaving Behind a Purple Star Mark

  "Prince Wang is so handsome!" Ugly Ya exclaimed, gazing at Prince Wang in front of her, like a fairy descending from heaven, born with beauty, truly unmatched by anyone, and as elegant as a rare orchid in the wilderness. Such a prince would surely make the entire Cloud Country buzz with excitement.

  After Dongfang Chun dressed up, she only heard Chou Ya exclaiming her beauty in her ear. To be honest, this body indeed has a unique and unparalleled appearance, it's just that it was hidden before. Looking at the beautiful woman in the mirror, wearing a white snow skirt, she had changed from her previous vulgar and coquettish air, with a pure and elegant demeanor, slender waist, skin as smooth as jade, truly having icy skin and a jade-like face, exuding a natural and free-spirited charm.

  The white snow skirt was a long, flowing dress that wrapped around her chest and trailed on the ground, making her skin look crystal clear. The silver tassels floated gently in the wind, and outside, she wore a thin layer of gauze. Even she herself was amazed by the beauty of this body. The decorations on her body were all designed by herself in her spare time, and asked Ugly Yu to find a tailor to make them. At that time, she didn't know that the household had no money, and she didn't care about it either. Now, looking at such finery, she felt heartbroken - all of this was money!

  She suddenly changed her mind, if she went out with such a demeanor, she wouldn't be able to live a low-key life in the future. If she was always accompanied by men, it wouldn't be good either. She just wanted to have a husband to support herself, without wanting to cause a stir or draw attention to herself.

  "Ugly girl, take out the most red and luxurious clothes from my closet, and lay out all my jewelry." Dongfang Chun thought it was better to make a shocking appearance, she would let those husbands vomit out what they ate, and the decorations in their rooms could also be sold for some money.

  Sitting in front of the mirror again, Dongfang Chun vigorously drew her eyebrows, one curved and one straight, like a caterpillar, very disgusting. Her eyes were painted to look like a fighting cock's, with several layers of red powder on her cheeks and a layer of gray foundation, forming a striking contrast, truly "gray revealing red". With a satisfied nod, Dongfang Chun also thickly applied lipstick, resembling large pig intestines, a pitiful sight.

  "Your Highness, how did you end up like this?" Ugly Yaya wailed as Dongfang Chun turned around. What's to be done? Your Highness will be ridiculed again if he goes out like this. Your Highness was just so handsome, why did you have to become like this? Has your taste not changed at all?

  Dongfang Chun looked at Chou Ya's twisted face and knew that his outfit was absolutely effective. But Chou Ya was anxious.

  Dongfang Chun excitedly pulled Chou Ya towards the door, but Chou Ya refused to go out no matter what. Chou Ya thought she was ugly enough already, and if Wang Ye dressed like that, it would be simply too pitiful to behold, and there wouldn't be a way to look at him. The entire Cloud Country probably couldn't find anyone as ugly as that either.

  It won't do, she has a duty to save the prince. "Your Highness, it's not convenient for you to go out like this." Afraid of offending the prince, Chou Ya said with a twisted expression. Her hands were clasped together in front of her, fidgeting with her hem, clearly very uneasy. Those four husbands saw such a prince and didn't even want to look at him, let alone love him.

  Upon hearing the sound of "peng", Dongfang Chun looked down and saw that it was Yan Shu.

  "Uncle Yan, what's wrong with you?"

  Yan Shu was extremely torn inside, could he say that he was scared by the young master's face? Obviously, he couldn't say that.

  "Your Highness, I just accidentally fell," said Yan Shu hastily getting up and bowing his head, not daring to look at the king's face again, fearing he would have nightmares even when sleeping.

  Dongfang Chun hooked the hair on her ear, looking at Yan Shu's awkward expression, and almost laughed out loud. Haha, it was too funny. This was exactly what she wanted. If even her own subordinates could be intimidated, let alone those four husbands of hers.

  With a composed expression, Dongfang Chun's red lips slightly opened: "Is there something Uncle Yan wants to report?"

  Yan Shu's expression changed slightly, and he almost forgot himself. He lowered his eyebrows and eyes, saying "Yes, yes, Your Highness, Miss Yang has sent a beauty to you, do you want to meet her?"

  Eastern Spring furrowed her brow in deep thought, wondering whether to see him or not. She guessed it was the purple-robed man with purple eyes she had seen on the street. If he could cough up some money, she would see him; if he was stingy and didn't spend a single penny, she would let him go free as originally planned.

  "What did he say or what expression did he have?" Dongfang Chun's lip corners slightly raised, if she was willing to make a contribution to the Wang Fu, she didn't mind the Wang Fu having one more person.

  "Returning to the king, this person's family is poor and humble, saying they hope to come to the mansion to make a living." Yan Shu lowered his head again, thinking of that stunning beauty called Zixinghen. It was actually not disliked by the king, and did not avoid the Wang Fu like a venomous snake, which was really strange. Estimated to be from a closed place, hadn't seen the world, also hadn't heard of the king's rumors, but didn't seem like it either. That person had a noble temperament, not like someone from a poor rural area. Could it be that their family had fallen on hard times and wanted to make a living, but the Wang Fu was broke?

  Dongfang Chun listened and couldn't catch her breath, coughing several times, almost bursting into a loud scolding. "Hmph, you poor thing, how dare you say such things? The horse-drawn carriage he rode on the street was definitely not for the wealthy or noble, and it's clear he's not short of money. And yet, he comes to her mansion with who-knows-what intentions. But she couldn't figure out what to do. If he really had to stay in her mansion, he'd have to pay his own expenses, otherwise, don't blame her for kicking him out.

  "Yan Shu, tell him that if he wants to stay in our mansion, he has to pay for his food and lodging. Otherwise, get rid of him." Dongfang Chun said impatiently with a flick of her sleeve.

  "Your Highness, this..." Yan Shu felt it was not right. You said a good man like him, Your Highness couldn't just ignore his plea for help, right? He must be in extreme difficulty to have been sent to the mansion by Miss Yang.

  "Our royal family is heavily in debt, we can't afford to raise idle people, if you have no money then leave" Dongfang Chun said bluntly, won't this uncle's sympathetic heart overflow again.

  Chou Ya pulled on the sleeve of Wang Ye, hastily stopping her. "Wang Ye, let's just let him stay, our royal residence is already deeply in debt anyway." It's not easy to find someone who doesn't resist the royal residence, and he's a handsome man too. We should seize this opportunity quickly. If this person has the same taste as Wang Ye and falls in love with him, that would be a great thing. Although we can't afford to raise Wang Ye, it's better than no one loving him at all.

  Looking at Chou Ya's worried expression, Dong Fang Chun patted Chou Ya's head "Chou Ya, are you going crazy?"

  "Your Highness, Ugly is not crazy. If you dismiss all the men in the backyard, who will attend to Your Highness in the future?" Not daring to speak the truth, Ugly thought it was better to find a subtle reason, as long as His Highness agreed to let someone stay, it would be easier.

  Ugly girl suddenly reminded, Dongfang Chuncai just remembered that after dismissing the small servant in the backyard that day, various versions of rumors were circulating outside. If she drove out the handsome man herself, it would also arouse people's suspicion, especially her imperial sister would probably be so excited that tears would fill her eyes, and might even think that she had changed her ways and ask for her help in handling state affairs. Just thinking about it was annoying, she shook her head, and decided to maintain her original nature after all.

  "Dongfang Chun made up his mind and stopped hesitating. 'Alright, Uncle Yan, let's have him stay for now and arrange some tasks for him to do. Don't let him idle around all day.'"

  Yan Shu thought, the king must have left someone behind, just now it was just a show, the king said to arrange something for him, it wouldn't be to serve as his bed servant, he had better advise Prince Zi well, lest he get any ideas.

  Poor Dongfang Chun, she didn't expect that her one sentence would be misinterpreted by Yan Shu. At this time, she did not know, and when she knew, it was already too late.

  "Come on, Chou Ya, let's go out and have some fun." Dong Fang Chun was excited to see the effect of his outfit, and he pulled Chou Ya along as they headed outside.

  Although Chou Ya was extremely unwilling to go out with such a prince, she could only listen to the prince. The prince's outfit was several times more frightening than before. Whoever would not be able to accept it, why did the prince have such unique taste? As the son of the emperor and the same flesh and blood as him, why was there such a big difference? He didn't even inherit any good genes from Empress Yun. However, the prince had a kind heart and was good to her. She would also help the prince plan well. The prince wanted to get into the bed of a beautiful man, wasn't there a new one who just arrived? She would help the prince with that.

  As soon as Dongfang Chun entered the courtyard, he saw a beautiful man coming from the backlight. He was wearing a snow-white shirt, with silver hair neatly tied up on his head, his eyebrows and eyes were like paintings, his lips were like cherry blossoms, especially those silver eyes, which surpassed the new moon in the sky, his skin was as smooth as jade, his face was flawless, warm and elegant. He was indeed a humble gentleman, like a poem, like a painting.

  Dongfang Chun's eyes were wide open, staring quietly at the man in front of her. She was dazzled by the light emanating from his body. In an instant, the silver-haired handsome man passed by Dongfang Chun's side, casting only a faint glance at her with his eyes, which flashed with disdain and contempt for a brief moment. If one ignored that fleeting glance, this person would seem to possess a warm and elegant demeanor.

  The two brushed past each other, and he didn't even say a word to her. When she came back to herself, the silver-haired handsome man had already left.

  Dongfang Chun gazed at the disappearing figure, her eyes narrowing slightly, her expression unreadable. This person was the handsome man she had seen on the day she first crossed over, and he had been accompanied by a delicate woman who had gone into the backyard of her own estate. Could it be that this was also one of her husbands? Suddenly remembering that she had four husbands, and having met three so far, could this be the third husband she hadn't yet met? But the other party didn't even bother to look at her, haha, interesting.

  She remembered Mr. Shu saying that her third husband was the son of the Wulin Alliance leader, gently stroking his forehead, and indeed each of her husbands was not simple. But that elegant demeanor was different from what she had imagined the son of the Wulin Alliance leader to be like, and she wondered how his martial arts skills were.

  Looking at the motionless King, Chou Ya thought of how he would always stick to San Fu Jun Yu Qian Hua in the past. This San Fu Jun must have gone on a date with Lan Wang Ye Dong Fang Miao again. Alas, she felt sorry for the King, as all of San Fu Jun's warmth and consideration were given to Lan Wang Ye Dong Fang Miao. Lan Wang Ye was truly fortunate to be loved by such a person. Moreover, the King's attire today, even if not flashy, would still make those few husbands look down on him.

  "Your Highness, why have you been staring at Sanfu Jun all this time?"

  "Ugly, is that my third husband Yu Qianhua? I once saw him with a woman, who was she?" Dongfang Chun turned around to look at Ugly, her eyes slightly narrowed, smiling faintly, proud and elegant, different from her calm demeanor just now.

  "Your Highness, didn't you know? The people around San Fu Jun Yu Gongzi have always been Lan Wangye, that is, your imperial sister. Your Highness won't forget everything, will you?"
