Chapter 96: Knowing the Beauty of Color, Yearning for Less Love.

Finally, Yan Wuyi couldn't help but poke Yan Wuque's arm, "Brother, look at you, almost drooling. You've been daydreaming for so long, have you even thought of a name for the child?"
Yan Wuque recovered.
Yan Wu stood with one hand on Yan Wuque's shoulder, excitedly saying, "Brother, we were mistaken. The prince is not the previously greasy and obscene woman, but this beautiful lady with long legs!"
"But why does she look somewhat familiar..."
"Haven't you recognized her yet?" Yan Wuque countered Yan Wuyi, "Isn't she the brother who saved us from the insect pit in Luori Mountain?"
"Oh, so it was her! No wonder she looked so familiar," Yan Wuyi suddenly realized, "But why did she dress up as a man and come to Lurishan to help us?"
"We went to Mount Luo Ri to fetch the Falling Star Lily for His Royal Highness, but in the end, it is still His Royal Highness who needs to personally save the mountain. Your Highness, by hiding your identity at Mount Luo Ri, you are truly considering us."
When Yan Wuque said this, his gaze was fixed on the direction where Hualuo disappeared, thinking about the fleeting glimpse just now. There was a hint of admiration in his eyes, and he exclaimed, "Your Highness is truly beautiful and kind-hearted. As for me, Yan Wuque, I am unworthy to enter into this marriage."
Hualuo is indeed very beautiful. In terms of static facial features, she may not be unparalleled and rare in the world, but it is not an exaggeration to say that her appearance has reached the ceiling. The most important thing is that her temperament is excellent, she possesses a rare nobility and excellence.
In conclusion, Hualuo's appearance meets the aesthetic preferences of the majority of Tianqi citizens, which is like winning the jackpot for an anxious young boy.
Yan Wuyi, on the other hand, felt envious and jealous, and started to act spoiled: "It's not fair, bro. We came to Kyoto together to represent our father in tribute. Why can you marry such a beautiful lady and I can't? I don't care, I also want someone like her, I want it too!"
As they continued to banter, Yan Wuyi suddenly came up with a bright idea and started to tease: "By the way, brother, since this beautiful young lady is the Crown Prince, I don't think she'll only have you as a man by her side in the future. How about I also... hehe, after all, one more person won't make a difference."
Yan Wuyi smiled foolishly.
Yan Wuque frowned and gave Yan Wuyi a strong punch on the head. He rebuked, "Get lost, you will never have a chance in your life."
"Ouch!"
Yan Wuyi rubbed his sore head and opened his mouth hesitantly, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
Hua Luo couldn't help but tug at her dress along the way: "What kind of clothes is Zhao Yue wearing? Those two brothers just kept staring at me."
"They're checking out your legs," Zhan Xing couldn't help but comment, "Ah Luo, you didn't see it, but those two brothers couldn't take their eyes off of you. It's like they've never seen a woman before."
"Oh, they must have never seen a woman before, especially not a stunning beauty like you in Yunzhou. And since both of them are only sixteen or seventeen years old, they lack self-control, so it turned out like this."
"Color captures the heart." Huaruo spoke concisely, "Alright, I'm still concerned about Zhaoyue. Let's go find Wei Xianglin again."
Zhanxing complained, "Aluo, I'm exhausted from walking."
"Then you go back first, I'll go find it."
"Oh." Zhanxing agreed and returned to the East Palace alone.
When Zhanxing returned to the East Palace and saw that Zhaoyue had finished her work and was sitting there looking at the sketchbook, her eyes rolled and she walked over quietly, suddenly shouting, "Zhaoyue!"
"Ah!"
Zhao Yue trembled in fear and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Zhan Xing: "Sister, you scared me."
"What are you looking at so devotedly?" Zhan Xing glanced at the sketchbook that Zhao Yue was looking at. "You are reading these uninformative comic books again."
"Just bored and killing time, sis. Where's A Luo?"
Zhao Yue looked around but couldn't see Hua Luo.
"Uh..." Zhan Xing said mysteriously, "Zhao Yue, guess what A Luo is up to."
Zhaoyue looked excitedly: "Did Aro go to find Weixianglin?"
"Yes, congratulations Xiaozhaoyue, if it goes well, you can start preparing for your wedding."
"Really?!" Zhao Yue was initially happy for a while, but then felt a bit disappointed. "If I really get married, there will only be you by Aluo's side. She won't be able to wear the clothes I made for her anymore..."
"Still saying it."
Zhanxing mentioned the two brothers Yan Wuque's situation: "You didn't see it. Just now, those two brothers were staring at A Luo like wolves. It's all thanks to this skirt of yours, the thighs are too exposed."
"Arlo's legs are already eye-catching enough, and you're making her show them off even more. Isn't this just pure provocation?"
Zhaoyue pursed her lips and reluctantly retorted, "But the dress I made for Arlo is only flashy on that one piece, the rest are quite normal."
"No matter what, if my sister really leaves the Eastern Palace to marry someone, you must take good care of A Luo."
"What are you saying?" Zhanxing quickly corrected Zhaoyue, "You are just getting married, not disappearing forever. Why are you being so pessimistic?"
"I am more worried about you than Aruo. That Wei Xianglin is a womanizer and doesn't have good intentions. Will you have a good life if you marry him?"
"Actually, he is not as bad as you say." Zhao Yue defended Wei Xianglin.
"In the eyes of a lover, you may be like a beauty, but the public's eyes are sharp and can see through it all. That person is not a good person, but what can you do? You have already gone to the last step with them, so you can only rely on yourself for good fortune."
"Aluo doesn't know when she will be back."
"Zhao Yue looked at the sky full of clouds."
"In the evening, Hualuo finally came back."
"Zhao Yue ran excitedly to Hualuo and asked, 'Aluo, how did it go?'"
Hualuo took a deep breath, trying to make her tone sound calm: "Huazhaoyue, be honest with me. How many men have you been involved with behind my back?"
"I just checked casually, but just last year alone, wow, there were at least twelve men you had a confirmed relationship with. Twelve months in a year, and you managed to switch one every month seamlessly."
"No wonder you tell me about your lover, today he is surnamed Liu, and tomorrow he becomes surnamed Li, you really rely on the waves to row the boat without paddles."
Zhaoyue defended with a face of grievance, "Aluo, I really am not that kind of casual person, I am, I am..."
"Then what are you? This is too exaggerated."
Zhao Yue seemed to recall something and asked Hua Luo, "He already knows?"
The "he" naturally refers to Wei Xianglin.
"Otherwise, what?" Hualuo said angrily, "I already knew about your rich experience, so when I subtly mentioned to him about him marrying you, he used it as a rebuttal and said he can marry you, but you can only be a concubine. There is no possibility for you to become a legal wife or a main wife."
"Besides, I sensed a hint of contempt in his words when he talked about you. Are you really going to rush to be his mistress? He won't cherish you."
"Zhao Yue saw that Hua Luo was a bit angry and said, 'A Luo, whether you believe it or not, I do have private dealings with many men, but I am sincere towards them, and every time I am the one who ends up getting hurt...'"
"Then why are you still searching, without learning a lesson?" Hualuo questioned.
"Aro, you know, my sister and I lost our parents from a young age, we have been through hardship and humiliation before entering the Eastern Palace. You probably can't imagine the life my sister and I had before coming to your side," Zhaoyue said with a touch of sadness in her voice.
"Even if things don't go well for you, your parents are still alive, and although His Majesty is strict with you, it is clear that he spoils you. Although Young Lord Yan has spent very little time with you, he knows that if you are being bullied, he would risk his life to defend you. But me and my sister have even forgotten what our parents look like..."
"I also want to experience the feeling of being cared for, loved, and protected by someone."
"You think I'm casual? Yes, I had my first lover when I was fifteen. He allowed me to taste the feeling of love. Although we separated later, I had already fallen in love with that kind of feeling. So after ending that relationship, I quickly started another one, accepting anyone as long as they seemed acceptable. This is nothing compared to your Wang Jie, isn't it? Aruo, have you ever experienced the feeling of being alone and helpless?"
This sentence struck a chord deep within Hualuo's heart: "How have I never experienced it? I was also heartlessly sent to Yan Province at the age of eight. In order to survive, I had no choice but to join the Hehuan sect. Once I entered the Hehuan sect, it was like diving into the depths of the sea, abandoning all principles and becoming a charm cultivator against my will. But I wanted to live more than anything else. If I hadn't become a female cultivator in the Hehuan sect, I would probably have been driven away by the Xiahou family, and I would never have known how I would have met my end."
"Wuwuwu... Aluo, I've had enough, I don't want to experience the feeling of loneliness and coldness, huddling alone for warmth, and feeling sorry for myself anymore..."
Hearing Zhao Yue talk so much, Hualuo felt somewhat surprised. It turned out that Zhao Yue had so much hidden in her heart.
She originally intended to say a few reproachful words, but couldn't bring herself to say them. Instead, she adopted a serious and heartfelt tone.
"The warmth of leaning on each other is ultimately not long-lasting. Do not place your hopes on others. The only reliable support is oneself."
"Zhaoyue, although this is your personal matter, I still suggest you not to bother with Wei Xianglin. He knows about your past and still got involved with you, but it was just a passing fancy, seeking temporary pleasure, he won't truly treat you well."
"Even if I beat him, he would only give you the position of a concubine. If you compromise and reluctantly marry him, you can only imagine what the future will be like."
"A Luo!"
Zhaoyue threw herself into Hualuo's embrace, her shoulders shaking as she cried.
花萝有点怒其不争，本来预备骂昭月几句，但是看她又是吐露心声，又是哭哭啼啼，楚楚可怜的，骂人的话都抛在脑后了，只是拍了拍昭月的肩膀：“好了，别哭了，忘了那个魏相霖。”
"Don't forget that you have the blood of the Hua Clan running in your veins. We Hua Clan are of noble birth, naturally superior. Once you regain your status as a princess, there will be plenty of men vying to marry you. What is Wei Xianglin? We can find someone better later. Don't belittle yourself."
The bright moon shed tears, her eyes welling up.
