Chapter 45 - The Standard Princess of the Lord Regent
Baili Mingyue was simply even more beautiful than that bright moon! Sir Mo was like jade, young master Wu Shuang was peerless, he should be referring to such a person!
But, isn't he in Yanqing Hall? Why was it here? Just as Hong Zhong was in a daze, he saw that the man frowned, he raised his hand to cover his lips, and then coughed lightly.
Hong Zhong raised his foot, she was already prepared to take that step, but in the end she retracted his foot. Baili Mingyue was the Regent, a member of the royal family. Those who cared for him and fawned on him were the majority of those who circled around the Imperial Palace dozens of times. What did it have to do with him if he was sick?
Furthermore, the current situation was all caused by him. It was already good enough for him that she didn't find trouble with him, so there was no need to provoke him again!
As he was about to turn around and leave, he coughed a few more times. was stunned and unable to move his legs. He stood there blankly and looked at the cold and luxurious person.
Baili Mingyue coughed a few times before stopping, half leaning on the rose flower's rack, staring at the exquisite pavilion in a daze, making it hard for people to see the expression in his eyes. The early summer's breeze swept up the rose flower s' petals and lifted his black hair, forming a beautiful picture.
As for Hong Zhong, she felt a sense of sadness from within those unreadable eyes. She shook her head and cursed herself in her heart. He was sad, but not sad. It had something to do with him. After making up her mind, she turned around and left. However, she heard a series of orderly footsteps approaching from behind.
This should be coming from Baili Ziyan's side.
Hong Zhong could not bear to think any further, so she gritted her teeth and summoned her courage to run inside, to burrow into the rose flower s that were open at the side.
The extremely talented Baili Mingyue heard the sound of hurried footsteps from afar and turned her head. She just so happened to see Hong Zhong's panicked figure slip into the flower bush. Why was she here?
Due to his profound inner strength, the sound of approaching footsteps could be heard. Since these people were all from the direction of the Yanran Palace, coupled with Hong Zhong's panicked figure just now, it was not hard to guess what happened over there.
A gush of Qi and blood rose up as she raised her hand to cover her lips to cover her slight coughing sounds. The dress did not detect anything amiss. She turned her gaze back to the blue sky and unknowingly used her inner force to observe her movements.
It was only when the sound of her hurried footsteps became distant and inaudible that Hong Zhong, who was in the flower bush, finally stretched out his head with a face full of vigilance. She did not realize that there were still many pink rose flower s on his head, and a piece of rose flower leaf that was mischievously sticking to her hair.
He looked around to make sure he was safe. But with a single glance, his face turned green. He saw a green caterpillar, sitting on the leaf of a rose flower less than three centimeters away from him, raising its head and staring at him.
One man, one insect. You look at me, I look at you.
Hong Zhong swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, her breathing became a little hurried. No matter if it was the Hong Zhong of her past life or the Qin Qiqi of his past life, both of them were fearless against heaven and earth.
One person and one insect remained in a deadlock. It was unknown whether the caterpillar on the flower leaf was afraid of Hong Zhong's ice-cold pressure, or whether it had seen through the fact that Hong Zhong was afraid of it, and had bent its body first …
Hong Zhong's originally delicate face instantly paled, and she jumped up with a cry. Not caring about the north, south, east or west, she scuttled off, not knowing if she was fast or if she was really scared. The moment she scuttled out, she sprinted to the side, then lost her original direction and pounced towards a pond full of lotus leaves!
This is bad! You damned bug who killed a thousand knives!
Before he could complain, he closed his eyes and prepared to receive the baptism. However, after waiting for a while, he didn't feel the cold touch he had imagined. Instead, he felt a faint fragrance lingering around him.
When he opened his eyes, his face that was as beautiful as jade was covered with clear and angular features. Under his long and curving eyelashes, his eyes that were as beautiful as clear spring water and as deep as the abyss, looked at Hong Zhong's panicked face. He gave a shallow smile that was as dazzling as snow in late spring, and directly caused Hong Zhong to go into a daze.
Baili Mingyue blocked Hong Zhong's body and used a breeze created by her Qi to blow the rose flower above Hong Zhong's head off. One by one, she surrounded the two of them, and in the end, landed on the calm surface of the water. Baili Mingyue brought Hong Zhong along with a few beautiful rotations, and the two of them stopped in the pavilion where he was previously at.
This was the first time Hong Zhong looked at him in broad daylight, so carefully, so closely, and this person was really pretty when she smiled. She muttered with such confusion: "Why would there be an uncle who looks so good when he smiles!"
Hearing what she said, the corner of Baili Mingyue's mouth raised, but when he forcefully used his inner force, he quickly felt the Qi and blood in his chest surge. He slightly frowned, forcefully suppressing the sweetness as he looked at Hong Zhong with his bright eyes: "Are you not done yet?"
Even though the reason why he held the princess in his arms was mostly because he wouldn't let her go even if he were to die!
He felt his old face, which had not been red in ten thousand years, grow hot, then quickly scuttle down from his body, preparing to leave his embrace. Just as his feet touched the ground, a sharp pain came from his ankle, causing Hong Zhong to lose his direction, he staggered and fell.
Damn, this tempo …
According to the rhythm of the novel, it was as if the male and female lead fell to the ground together, rolling twice on the ground. Then, the female lead's first kiss, which lasted for four years, disappeared! As he thought about it, Baili Mingyue's beautiful face appeared in his mind. Actually, giving her first kiss to someone who was so good-looking seemed pretty good as well!
However, reality proved that Hong Zhong was just thinking too much.
Baili Mingyue only waved his hand, and Hong Zhong, who had been falling down, was pulled back. With a "bang", he crashed into Baili Mingyue's embrace. As if grabbing onto a lifesaver, Hong Zhong wrapped her arms tightly around his waist!
Hong Zhong's face was plastered against Baili Mingyue's chest. Her summer clothes were thin to begin with, and at this moment, Hong Zhong could feel that Baili Mingyue's well-defined chest muscles and face, which were originally slightly red, were now even hotter than before …
