Kapitel 40: Clingy

Wen Jinkai surprised the entire Royal Court and curious onlookers when he didn't spare the Princess a glance. He acted as if he didn't hear a word she said.

He fixed his gaze on the Empress and no one else. He was the first to see past the Empress's mask. It was clear as day to him that the Empress was sullen at the presence of Imperial Consort Gu Feiying who was sitting far too close to the Emperor than her rank would allow her to.

Seeing his usual cold shoulder and behavior that didn't seem to care for the beautiful flowers that always flocked around him, the Empress held back her sigh.

She had hoped Princess Weichun's gentle and soft allure would be enough to sway the great Commander Wen Jinkai. He obviously didn't care for the young woman.
