His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 35: Peach Blossom Luck

After Yu Qing Qian left. Gong Hao rubbed his chin thoughtfully. 

“Do you know her?” A boy beside him asked.

Gong Hao nodded: “We had a chance encounter before.”

“I think you look quite attracted to her.” The boy said: “She’s stunningly beautiful and has a noble temperament. She’s indeed a good target of pursuit.”

His tone changed and said: “It’s a pity that the gap between her talents is too big. I heard that people in the Healing Department ostracise her. You’d better think carefully before deciding whether to befriend her or not.”

If one ignored the people of the Healing Department and befriended Yu Qing Qian, they’d probably be miserable when the time came to train together. 

Gong Hao furrowed his brows: “People in the Healing Department ostracize her? Why?”

He hadn’t paid much attention to the affairs of the Academy recently. He didn’t expect that the little beauty was not only the ‘Yu Qing Qian’ in those people’s mouth, but was also ostracised by everyone. 

“Because Qin Feng Yi doesn’t like her.” Another boy with a baby face sneered: “Yu Qing Qian is the only other one with excellent Spiritual Plant Master talent in the entire Academy besides Feng Chen and Huo Li Ruo. With Qin Feng Yi’s arrogant temper, how could she tolerate others suppressing her?”

“But aren’t Yu Qing Qian’s physical fitness and mental energy not as strong as hers?” Gong Hao had always disliked Qin Feng Yi, and now he was even more disgusted, “Isn’t she too disgraceful doing this.”

“With her self-righteous temperament, as if she cares about being graceful. She just needs to show how good she is in front of Huo Li Ruo, and that’s enough. Anyone who steals her limelight is a target to be suppressed in her eyes, especially women.” The baby-faced boy obviously also had a bad impression of Qin Feng Yi.

Gong Hao raised an eyebrow: “So it turns out that she travelled all the way from the Central Continent to our Royal Academy in the south for Huo Li Ruo!”

“What else did you think?” The baby-faced boy pursed his lips, “She’s a concubine’s daughter of the Qin Clan, and her talent is only above average. The Holy Academy has no such requirements for her.”

The boy who asked the question first smiled nonchalantly and said: “Even if the Holy Academy made such requirements for her, do you think she could do it?”

“That’s true…” They laughed.

They were from royal families or large aristocratic clans in the south. Although they were slightly inferior to the Qin Clan from the Central Continent, but they weren’t afraid of offending Qin Feng Yi. 

Gong Hao just felt that Yu Qing Qian wasn’t as useless as the rumours said. Coupled with the bet with Qi Rui, he decided to strike first. 

Since meeting Gong Hao that day, Yu Qing Qian had received a bouquet of fresh flowers every day when she returned to her dormitory, which made her very speechless. 

“Hey! The flowers are here again today!” Ji Ling Shuang shut the door. She held a pot of blooming narcissus in her hand and smiled at Yu Qing Qian, saying: “Gong Hao doesn’t send fresh flowers now but potted plants.”

“Leave it wherever.” Yu Qing Qian was sitting on a soft chair reading a book and said casually without looking up.

She declined insensitively to children like Gong Hao.

Just as Ji Ling Shuang was about to speak, Xia Ying opened the door and came in holding a box. 

“Oh. You’re all here!” When she entered the door, she saw Ji Ling Shuang holding a pot of narcissus, Yu Qing Qian with her head lowered reading a book, and Xie Shu holding a few shell coins for divination and immediately greeted with a smile. 

Ji Ling Shuang’s beautiful eyes glanced at the box she was holding, “What’s this?”

Xia Ying smiled, walked up to Yu Qing Qian and stretched out her hand to take the book away, “You’ve really got peach blossom luck lately.”

“What do you mean?” Yu Qing Qian asked, raising an eyebrow.

“This is a gift that Qi Rui from Class 3 of the Combat Department asked me to bring to you.” Xia Yung pushed the box in front of Yu Qing Qian, winked, and said: “Our Qing Qian is so charming now.”

Yu Qing Qian rubbed her temples. She didn’t even need to ask to be able to guess who Qi Rui was.
