Chapter 49 The Person Who Would Spend His Whole Life Waiting

  The King of Jin didn't understand whether he wasn't dressed stylishly enough today or if he hadn't combed his hair properly before going out. He gazed at the second miss of the Pang family with deep affection, but in her eyes, he only saw indifference and detachment. The King of Jin was puzzled, thinking that as a talented and handsome man, and also the son of the emperor, he should have been able to stir up some emotions. Could it be that his charm was so lacking?

  Pang Luoxue saw the King of Jin's affectionate gaze and felt goosebumps all over her body. Qi Yao was still speaking cold words, saying: "I'm looking at the King of Jin's eyes, which are indeed fiery hot. I just like this pair of eyes. If I could dig them out, I would definitely find a bottle to help the King of Jin take good care of them."

  Pang Luo Xue sneered and said: I'm afraid this King of Jin is too stingy and won't let go.

  Qī Yāo shrugged her shoulders, with a look that said "I'm still disappointed in you", leaving Páng Luò Xuě speechless.

  The King of Jin looked at his own eyebrows and eyes, but they had no effect, so he got up and took the wine cup to walk in front of Pang Luo Xue. Pang Luo Xue lowered her head and smiled. This scene was so familiar, in their previous life, he also walked over with such deep affection, making her heart move suddenly. Unfortunately, this lifetime, I, Pang Luo Xue, only want the lives of you two dog-like men.

  Pang Luoxue pretended not to see Jin Wang's gaze and focused on chatting with a few friends.

  The King of Jin couldn't hold back his temper, so he had to take the initiative to say: "Wang wants to invite Miss Pang to have a drink, I wonder if Miss Pang is willing to give Wang some face?"

  Pang Luoxue was focused on talking to Qi Yao, seemingly unaware of him. The King of Jin felt extremely awkward and didn't want to waste this good opportunity. He patiently continued: "Second Miss, can you give me some face?"

  Pang Luoxue was shocked: "Is the king talking to me?"

  The King of Jin's eyes and mouth twitched as he said: This is natural.

  Pang Luo Xue pretended to be puzzled and said: I heard that the young master of the Wang family still thinks you are talking about my sister. She turned her head to look at Pang Luo Yu, whose eyes were filled with hatred so obvious, in her past life she was really blind not to see it.

  The King of Jin had no choice but to say: It was I, the king, who spoke unclearly and caused Miss to misunderstand. I will punish myself with a cup. After finishing speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine, throwing the empty cup at Pang Luo Xue.

  "Is the young lady satisfied?"

  Pang Luoxue supported her chin with one hand and said, "But I didn't mean to blame the king, yet the king started punishing himself. Since the king has already drunk, let's just say Snow also had some, after all, Snow is still young and can't hold her liquor."

  "Little sister, since King Jin has come in person to invite you, why must you decline him from a thousand miles away? It's just one cup of wine."

  Pang Luo Xue looked at Pang Luo Yu and said, "Sister is right, it's just a cup of water wine. Why don't you drink it for me? I'm sure the King of Jin will agree too. Can it be that the King of Jin looks down on my sister?"

  Pang Luoyu could only turn to Duke Jin for help. If Duke Jin was unwilling, then his own face would truly be lost.

  The King of Jin was initially annoyed by Pang Le's opening, and didn't want to bother with her. But then he thought better of it and put on a smiling face, saying "It's my fault, I hope the young lady will forgive me."

  Pang Luo Yu naturally couldn't get what he wanted, so he picked up his cup and drank from it with a raised head.

  Qī Yāo and the others shook their heads. Páng Lù's thoughts were also too obvious, without any reserve at all.

  Pang Luoyu naturally didn't know what they thought, and if she knew their thoughts, wouldn't it be infuriating.

  The King of Jin is a man who has a thick skin that can't be pierced, and he will stop at nothing until he achieves his goal. This small setback won't be able to defeat him.

  The second young lady's skin is as white as snow. The other day, the noble consort personally bestowed a blood jade hairpin, which would be most suitable for the second young lady. As he spoke, he took out the hairpin with a phoenix tail from his sleeve. Pang Luoxue didn't look at it and was fine, but when she saw it, she felt like her breath was taken away. In her past life, this was the token of affection she had given to herself, something she treasured dearly, wearing it in her hair every day. At this moment, she wished she could snatch it back and shatter it into seven or eight pieces just to vent her anger.

  Other noble ladies saw such good blood jade and immediately looked at Pang Luoxue with envy or jealous eyes.

  Pang Luoxue had not yet responded when the King of Jin thought that such a beautiful jade-like woman must have been deeply moved, and he wanted to personally put it on her head.

  Pang Luoxue was about to refuse, but a pair of large hands stretched out from the middle and snatched the hairpin away, observing: "Fifth brother uses this inferior hairpin as a gift for his beloved, it's not quite right."

  The King of Jin furrowed his brow. This blood jade was a tribute, and it's likely that even if you searched the entire imperial palace, you wouldn't be able to find another one with such a deep red color. He looked at the person holding the hairpin and said: "Third brother, what are you talking about? This blood jade is of the highest quality, and I'm afraid that even if you turned the entire capital upside down, you still might not find one as good as this."

  Yu Wang smiled and said, "Fifth brother, it's not that I look down on your things as an older brother. It's just that Miss Pang has skin as white as snow. If she were to wear this kind of blood jade, I'm afraid it wouldn't be to enhance her beauty, but rather to mock her."

  The King of Jin said, "Is there nothing better than this? If not, please return the hairpin to me." This blood jade is worth a city, and if it wasn't for giving it to Pang Luo Xue, even Pang Luo Yu himself might not be willing to part with it.

  Qī Yáo whispered: This Yu Wang is quite interesting, I think this blood jade is of the highest quality, it's hard to find something comparable. If you can't bring it out, it would be a joke.

  Every young master and miss stared at Yu Wang, and Pang Luo Xue was no exception. She wanted to see how many treasures he had on him.

  Yu Wang didn't delay, and from his bosom he took out a jade hairpin that seemed to be overflowing with fresh blood. Last year, it had been carved with a phoenix spreading its wings in flight, the hollow body of the phoenix filled with fine golden threads, inlaid with various precious stones, and the phoenix's mouth holding a string of bright pearls. This person was worse than death, this goods were worse than trash, the blood jade that Jin Wang had was not bad when looked at separately, but when placed together, it was vastly inferior.

  Yu Wang personally put the hairpin on Pang Luoxue's hair, and the bright pearl fell between her hair, making her black hair even more shiny, her skin as white as snow, and her eyes sparkling brightly.

  Yu Wang smiled and said: "What does the fifth brother think? Isn't it even better than before? This kind of inferior goods, I'm sure the fifth brother doesn't need them either." After speaking, he threw it into the sky.

  The King of Jin jumped down, although he didn't want to admit that the jade pendant of the King of Yu was better, his own wasn't bad either. This thing worth a city naturally didn't feel like a burden, and he quickly reached out to take it.

  Yu Wang drew out the sword from his waist and made a few swift slashes in the air. After the flash of light, a blood jade hairpin was split into eight pieces. The evil path couldn't be more evil than this. Pang Luoxue's heart cheered with excitement, even Qi Yao praised Yu Wang greatly. This person is indeed interesting.

  Yu Wang approached Pang Luo Xue and said quickly: "Fifth brother won't blame me, right?"

  Jin Wangdao: Since third brother doesn't think much of me, how dare I, as his younger brother, intervene? Where did third brother get this jade hairpin from?

  Yu Wang looked at the blood jade hairpin that had fallen to the ground and could no longer be worn, raised his head and smiled: "Of course it was a gift from Father Emperor to Mother Empress."

  The King of Jin's hands clenched into fists. Father, you are so biased! You clearly told the Queen that this was one-of-a-kind, and she treasured it extremely dearly. If not for giving it to Pang Luoxue, I'm afraid the Queen wouldn't have been willing to part with it. Now seeing that it's indeed true is such a mockery. The shattered pieces seem to be not just the jade hairpin, but also my own heart.

  King of Jin said: Today is a bit abrupt, thank you Third Brother, Xue Er. I will visit your home another day. After saying that, he led the butler and left.

  Su Ou gazed at Pang Luoxue, whose beauty was further accentuated by the jade hairpin, and her every smile and frown somehow took root in his heart, growing and flourishing over time.

  Nan Gongze looked at Pang Luoxue, just quietly looking at her, watching her become more and more dazzlingly beautiful.

  Some people are just fleeting moments in your life, but you're willing to wait a lifetime for them.
