Chapter 1405: She Was There First

“Y- Your Royal Highness…” Dugu Yamo presented the light pink immortal flowers to Jun Linyuan with trembling hands. “P- Please accept these.”

Dugu Yamo was nervous and frustrated at herself.

She had worked on her lines the whole of last night, and had stayed up to memorize and rehearse her little speech. However, when the crown prince was actually in front of her, she was so nervous that she didn’t know where to put her own hands. All her lines escaped her, and her head went completely blank…

Dugu Yamo smiled bitterly.

Her father was the emperor’s brother-in-law, and she was respected like a real princess. She had more suitors than she could count, but she didn’t like any of them.

She had never expected that one day, she would stand in front of a teenager and wait for his verdict.

But he was Jun Linyuan, the dream of all the teenage girls in the empire.

Immediately, all eyes were on the crown prince.

“Is His Royal Highness going to accept it?”

“Dugu Yamo is pretty and smart, and she’s from an influential family. Maybe His Royal Highness really will…”

“Even Dugu Yamo was so nervous around His Royal Highness. I wonder if any girl can act naturally around him.”

“If His Royal Highness accepts Dugu Yamo, then…”

“Look! His Royal Highness is reaching out to her!”

It was true.

Jun Linyuan gave Feng Wu a sidelong glance.

But at that moment, Feng Wu was bantering with Feng Xun.

Other people might not be able to hear their conversation clearly, but Jun Linyuan could.

“She doesn’t like me, right? Heh.”

All warmth disappeared from his eyes and he gave off a terrifying energy.

He then snatched the flowers out of Dugu Yamo’s hands.

Wow —

Everyone cried out in surprise!

The crown prince had taken the flowers!

He… he had…

Even Dugu Yamo herself was dumbfounded and forgot how to react, not to mention the crowd.

“Is this really happening?” Dugu Yamo couldn’t believe it.

She had summoned her courage and stepped out because she wanted to try even though she knew that she was almost certain to fail.

“Y- Your Royal Highness…” She was so excited that she almost fainted.

The crowd was shocked as well!

“His Royal Highness accepted the flowers!”

“Holy crap!”

“Is His Royal Highness finally interested in girls now?”

“Is the Dugu family going to have a second empress?”

“No way. Dugu Yamo can’t possibly rise above Zuo Qingluan. She’ll be a consort at most.”

“What do you mean by ‘a consort at most’? That’s like a second wife to the crown prince! The crown prince!”

“The Dugu family is going to be so happy now.”

The servants of the Dugu family were indeed thrilled. They immediately headed back home so that they could tell their clansmen the good news at once!

In the crowd, Zuo Qingyu was frowning.

She had considered Dugu Yamo her good friend, but not only was the girl in love with the crown prince, she had done this!

Zuo Qingyu felt so betrayed and was furious that someone had stolen the man she loved.

Looking up, she saw Feng Wu and lashed out at her.

“Feng Wu, you look awful. Are you jealous?” Zuo Qingyu smiled.
