Chapter 154: Zheng Minglou is shocked
The Yue Ran sisters did not alert the enemy, but pretended nothing had happened and left the Imperial Garden.
Yue Si Ning held Yue Ran's hand tightly, and her elf-like eyes kept looking around.
"Sister, it felt very clean around the Emperor before, but now that we are far away from the Emperor, there are more and more monsters on the road!"
The little girl whispered to Yue Ran from time to time.
Yuanbao laughed triumphantly in Yue Ran's mind:
"Of course, your emperor has Yuanbao, the shell I shed, by his side."
"My shell can silently repel demons and ghosts and make them stay away!"
Yue Si Ning asked curiously:
"What about your true form? It seems like the monster can't sense your presence."
Yuanbao suddenly got stuck:
"That... that's because I have to devote more energy to interact and complement Yue Ran."
"Don't think I don't exist. If a monster really hurts Yue Ran, it will be more painful than going to hell! Hehehe!"
Yue Ran smiled as she held her sister's hand and looked calmly at the palace maids and eunuchs coming and going on the palace road.
Every time a palace maid of a different status passed by, Si Ning would gently pinch her palm.
By the time the two of them left the palace gate, Yue Si Ning had pinched Yue Ran's palm a total of twenty times.
Yue Ran looked back at the inner courtyard of the imperial palace thoughtfully and breathed a sigh of relief.
I’m afraid things won’t end well tonight.
"What is Princess Yue Ran doing standing at the palace gate in a daze?"
A gloomy and low voice sounded leisurely:
"Are you tired of fighting and want to exchange positions with me, the commander of the Central City Army?"
Hearing the voice, Yue Ran turned to look at Zheng Minglou who was standing outside the palace gate wearing a red dragon robe.
She smiled and nodded politely:
"Young Marquis Zheng, we meet again."
"The Central City Army is responsible for protecting the safety of the Imperial Palace. Yue Ran doesn't dare to compete with the young marquis for this position."
Zheng Minglou pursed his bright red lips and smiled in an ambiguous way.
His eyebrows were thick and slightly raised, as if he was mocking something, and the sneer at the corners of his mouth always carried a kind of disdain and arrogance that came from seeing through the world.
If he wasn't so handsome, his expression would be really eye-catching.
Yue Si Ning kept looking at Zheng Minglou curiously, with a gleam in her eyes.
Seeing her sister paying so much attention to Zheng Minglou, Yue Ran felt a sinking feeling in her heart, worrying that Zheng Minglou might also have a special identity.
The Zhongcheng Bingmasi guards the gate of the imperial palace, and Zheng Minglou is deeply trusted by Emperor Shengwen. If there is any problem with him, it will be even more troublesome tonight.
But Yue Si Ning smiled and said:
"Big brother, you are so handsome!"
Yue Ran heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then she realized that her sister seemed to be easily attracted to good-looking men.
This is not good!
When we get back to the palace, I have to remind the little girl that you can’t judge a man by his appearance alone.
She is simply too experienced in this area.
Zheng Minglou raised his eyebrows and looked at Yue Si Ning in surprise and suspicion.
"You...you can speak now?"
Everyone grew up in the capital, and the foolish little princess of Prince Dingbei's mansion was a well-known topic of conversation among people in the capital.
He didn't expect that only two years after leaving Beijing, Yue Si Ning, who couldn't even utter a complete sentence before, now seemed to be smarter than his second brother in the Marquis' Mansion!
The Shenzun Sect is indeed extraordinary!
Yue Ran glanced at Zheng Minglou, then lowered his head to introduce Yue Si Ning:
"You met him when you were a child, but maybe you don't remember him. He is Zheng Minglou, the young Marquis Zheng."
Yue Si Ning smiled sweetly and bowed to Zheng Minglou obediently:
"Hello, Brother Zheng. Si Ning is here to show you the courtesy!"
Zheng Minglou unknowingly bowed to the little girl:
"My little princess, how are you? Very good, very good!"
Just as Yue Ran was about to take Yue Si Ning away, Yuan Bao shouted in her mind:
"That's him! Ranran, it's definitely right to ask him for help!"
"Don't be fooled by his sinister appearance. The aura on him will make demons and ghosts feel uncomfortable. Putting him anywhere is a good choice to protect the house!"
Yue Ran was really surprised this time and looked at Zheng Minglou carefully.
Zheng Minglou, who had been sarcastic to everyone since he entered the school, his dark eyes unconsciously became a little more gentle when he looked down at Yue Si Ning.
Yue Ran had known him since she was five years old, and she had never seen him be gentle to anyone.
It's true that one thing brings down another thing.
Yue Ran was amazed in his heart, and then said softly:
"I have something that I need the young marquis's help with."
Zheng Minglou raised his eyes upon hearing this, and his expression became annoying again:
"I don't know, Princess Yue Ran, who is so powerful, does she need my help with anything?"
Yue Ran didn't take it seriously and smiled generously:
"Yue Ran is just a lone man. He is not omniscient and omnipotent. Even when he goes to the battlefield, he needs the cooperation of all the soldiers. How can he be called omnipotent?"
"What Yue Ran asked for today can only be accomplished by Young Marquis Zheng."
At this point, Yue Ran lowered her voice a little so that only Zheng Minglou could hear it:
"There may be some unexpected changes at the palace banquet tonight. It all depends on the young marquis then."
Zheng Minglou finally put away his nonchalant expression and looked at Yue Ran with serious eyes.
Yue Ran stepped forward and repeated to Zheng Minglou word for word what Yuan Bao had said in her mind.
Zheng Minglou, who already had a gloomy aura, became even more gloomy after hearing Yue Ran's plan:
"This is a serious matter. If what Princess Yue Ran said is just a joke, my brothers and I will be severely punished. Why should I believe you?"
Yue Ran did not speak, Yue Si Ning spoke first:
"Big brother, come closer. Si Ning can make you believe that what your sister said is true."
Zheng Minglou looked down at the delicate little girl, half squatted, and said patiently:
"Little Princess, I have to work today, so I really don't have time to play house with you..."
Before she finished her words, Yue Si Ning came close to Zheng Minglou and breathed gently into his eyes.
"!!!" Zheng Minglou was startled and stepped back quickly, almost falling down.
She is worthy of being Yue Ran’s sister, she acts so abruptly!
Zheng Minglou stood up somewhat embarrassedly and said in a low voice:
"Little princess, you are almost ten years old. Boys and girls are not allowed to sit together at the same age as their eight-year-old counterparts. You must never do this again in the future!"
Yue Si Ning ignored him, just pulled his sleeve and shook it, then stood on tiptoe and said:
"Big brother, listen to me. Don't be deliberate. Just turn around and take a look at Gong Dao casually."
Zheng Minglou was completely confused. He had no idea what Yue Si Ning was up to, so he rolled his eyes and glanced at Gong Dao casually.
Then his eyes fixed, and he quickly withdrew his gaze, staring into Yue Si Ning's eyes.
When he looked back just now, he saw clearly that the little eunuch who was originally sweeping the floor in the palace had turned into a monster with a snake's head and a long tail!
Yue Si Ning looked up at Zheng Minglou and said seriously:
"Brother, there are at least dozens of people like that in the palace."
"Officials above the fourth rank must attend the banquet tonight with their families, and there will be even more people!"
