Hong Zhong turned around and saw the cold figure from afar. She was overjoyed.

He was here as expected!

As he thought about it, he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, Baili Mingyue recalled her decision from two days ago. Didn't she say that she would keep her distance? Then why was he still happy!

Suppressing the urge to turn back, he lightly spoke to the person walking into the pavilion, "This is the Imperial Palace's forbidden area, it is not a place you should come to!"

The moment Hong Zhong walked into the pavilion, she suddenly heard the order for him to leave. Recalling the order for Baili Mingyue to leave and the order for Bright Moon Hall a few days ago, a wave of anger rose up from the bottom of her heart. It was fortunate that she stayed in Bright Moon Hall with him for the afternoon yesterday and upon returning, she worried non-stop about whether his injuries were complete or not.

Was she that annoying!?

Since she was so annoying, why did he have to grab her hand that day and make her stay?!

Thinking about this, he walked up to the man with a fierce face and glared at him for a while. Then, he sat down without leaving, "I don't care if this is a forbidden area or what the hell it is. Since you're here, I'll come!"

Looking at the tiger-faced little girl in front of him, not only was he not angry, but there was also a trace of happiness that was spreading from the bottom of his heart. In the end, he couldn't let her go.

Her eyes that were as beautiful as clear sky quietly swept over her, and a voice as beautiful as nature spilled out from his mouth. "Little girl, what are you doing here?"

The cold and elegant voice made the tiger-faced Hong Zhong calmer by quite a bit. After staring at him coldly for a while, she snorted coldly and turned her head away, not looking at him. "Don't worry about it." After he finished speaking, she didn't seem to want to bother with him at all.

"Hur hur." Looking at the arrogant and lovable girl in front of him, he couldn't help but chuckle. Then, he opened his mouth and asked, "You, are you looking for me?" After asking this question, a sliver of expectation rose in his heart. He really wanted to hear an affirmative answer from her.

"Nope." "Yes." Whoever wants to find you, someone like you who doesn't know good will never have a friend in his life. "

Seeing Hong Zhong's face full of arrogance, Baili Mingyue did not expose him. She only felt that as long as she looked at him at such a close distance, she would be happy. Just like this, a gaze as beautiful as clear light quietly swept over the person who was feeling depressed and infuriated without blinking.

The scene seemed to be frozen in place.

Until a certain woman couldn't hold it anymore and turned back to look at him with a fierce face, "Why aren't you saying anything!" How could this person act like this? Was he trying to coax someone into death?!

Baili Mingyue's thin lips curled up, creating ripples that even caused the moonlight to pale. It was as if the displeasure on her face could not be seen, and her voice was still cold and elegant, "I, am waiting for you to speak." If they really came here to find him, then they must have had something to say to him. However, he, who had always been in a high position, had already developed a habit of not asking even if no one else told him.

Hearing this, Hong Zhong looked at him with disdain. No wonder he didn't have a friend, if she didn't ask him, he wouldn't say anything. Seriously! About that, I actually want to ask how is your injury? "

Seeing the disdain in her eyes, he felt funny for some reason. In order to prevent her from really exploding, he nodded with a serious expression. "Okay, okay." After two days of recuperation and with Mo Chen's medical skills, he had already controlled the cold poison. As long as he did not use any more inner strength, it would not even take five days for him to recuperate from the severe damage to his vital energy.

"Right." Hong Zhong nodded, following that, the two of them looked at each other speechlessly, before falling into silence once more.

Hong Zhong looked at the scenery of the Rose Pavilion under the moonlight.

As for Baili Mingyue, she was looking at the person who was enjoying the scenery!

After a long while, Hong Zhong was really unable to endure such a quiet feeling. She turned around and looked at Baili Mingyue unhappily, his tone filled with confusion: "Uncle, don't tell me you normally don't talk much?" How could this person be so quiet!

"Yes." Baili Mingyue nodded. His character was originally light. In addition, he had been in a high position for many years and had always been instructing his subordinates as well as handling government matters. Those people were all extremely respectful and obedient to him.

Hong Zhong was startled, then she had a look of understanding: "No wonder you're a friend, with your cold and aloof attitude, who would make friends with you!" Baili Mingyue was simply a typical person; she was so cold and aloof that she had no friends!

Baili Mingyue did not refute his words, and just lowered her eyes in silence.

Looking at his beautiful appearance of lowering his head without saying a word, Hong Zhong suddenly moved his face closer to her and said with a mysterious face: "Do you know, your current appearance is the same as being seduced by someone, it really makes people feel that their blood is boiling!" After saying that, she even gave him an extremely alluring smile.

"..." Although she did not know what Hong Zhong meant by 'peerless reprieve', but her intuition told her that it was not a very beautiful thing. In addition to Hong Zhong's extremely alluring smile, Baili Mingyue realized that he, a person who had lived for twenty-eight years, had been taken advantage of by a little girl!

As she thought about it, she raised her slender arm, and lightly tapped Hong Zhong on the forehead with her jade finger: "Little girl, what are you thinking about this time?" After she finished speaking, she could not help but feel her cheeks turn slightly hot. If it wasn't for the moonlight, he would probably be able to see his slightly red ears.

Who would have thought that the Regent, who had been in power in the Southern Qi for so many years, would be taken advantage of by a little girl!

Hong Zhong never thought that someone as goddess-like as Baili Mingyue would actually reach out and hit her with his fist. Although the tapping was light, she did not avoid it because she did not expect him to, and after being knocked, her face immediately darkened. She held her forehead in pain and said, "Ouch, it hurts. You broke my head!"

In a good mood, Baili Mingyue looked at the woman who was feigning grief. With a slight smile, she said, "Girl, this is to tell you not to think about random things in the future." Wasn't he clear on what he had done? It was only a light tap, and he could guarantee that she wouldn't feel the slightest bit of pain right now!

Looking at his magnificent smile that was filled with countless smiles, which was filled with the color of spring, Hong Zhong could not help but exclaim once again, "Actually, Uncle, you're smiling so beautifully, you really should have smiled more."

As he spoke, Baili Mingyue was stunned. He felt very comfortable laughing as well. However, he also remembered that he hadn't laughed from the bottom of his heart in a long time, but when he thought of her teasing him, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He pretended to be serious and said, "Little girl, you're not good at learning, but you're actually thinking about some random stuff. If you ever let this duke see it again, I will definitely let Imperial Advisor supervise your lessons properly. "

After hearing his homework, Hong Zhong's face immediately turned ugly. This time, he really had a fierce face: "Don't, uncle, just forgive me, at worst, I will just not take liberties with you! The Thousand Words s can only be settled after I've done it twenty times. I don't want to copy any more of those female ring ladies' morals, or the Four Books and Five Classics. "

Hearing this, Baili Mingyue smiled and did not speak, thinking that this girl was actually afraid of studying!

The atmosphere between the two of them relaxed again. Looking at the moon in the sky, Hong Zhong shook her head and said, "That's right, Uncle, today I came to tell you that in two days, I will go with the empress dowager to National Temple to pray for the Southern Qi. I said that I will be there for a few days. Then I will definitely not be able to come to Rose Pavilion to see you again in the next few days. Although I also feel that the palace is very boring, but I guess that when Empress Dowager goes to National Temple, there isn't much fun to do.

After a few days, Hong Zhong truly felt that the ancient women who lived in this place, where communication was not developed and transportation was not convenient, were pitiful. And she, too, would soon become one of them.

Baili Mingyue turned around, and looked at her seriously. She said that because she had to go for a few days, she could not come to Rose Pavilion to accompany her for these few days. Then, if she did not go to National Temple, would she come to Rose Pavilion to accompany him every day? " Girl, you don't want to go? "

He knew about the matter of going to National Temple to pray.

All the noble ladies here wished that before the general election, they could personally go to National Temple and ask for a marriage contract. To beg the heavens to bless their victory in the general election, she said, "Does she not want to go?"

"What's there to go for!" Hong Zhong said with a bitter face. The Empress Dowager had said that if he were to pray, one aspect of it was that he hoped that he would be chosen, and that he would be able to open branches and scatter leaves for Baili Yi Chen as soon as possible! Putting aside the fact that Baili Yi Chen wished he could strangle him to death every day, even if he truly liked Hong Zhong, according to his age, Hong Zhong was only sixteen or seventeen years old. In the modern world, she was practically a minor.

Baili Mingyue turned and looked at her, flabbergasted.

Seeing the doubt in Baili Mingyue's eyes, Hong Zhong naturally knew what he was thinking and spoke with disdain: "Uncle, don't tell me you think that all the women in the world want to climb onto Baili Yi Chen's bed? I don't know about others, but I, Hong Zhong, am definitely not that kind of person! Furthermore, she even punished me with Thousand Words s that I plagiarized so many times, I simply didn't know how to treat the fairer sex. I really thought that it would be better to marry a pig if I married him! "

After that, he said proudly, "Besides, I finally managed to reach an agreement with Baili Yi Chen. As long as I complete a mission for him, he will let me go after the general election. If I were to go to the National Temple and ask Bodhisattva to bless me, wouldn't my head be pinched against the door? "

Baili Mingyue was choked at the thought of Hong Zhong crawling out of bed. It would be better to marry a pig than Yi Chen. In her heart, how could the exalted ruler of a country not be comparable to a pig?! Initially, he wanted to ask her why she hated Baili Yi Chen so much, but he was quickly attracted by the important part of the latter part of Hong Zhong's words. His sword-like eyebrows slightly knitted, and he puzzledly asked: "Yi Chen agreed to let you go?"

"Yeah!" Hong Zhong nodded indifferently, then suddenly and mysteriously approached Baili Mingyue: "But he gave me a condition. He said that as long as I can fulfill it, he would agree. Her eyes were filled with sincerity, encouraging Baili Mingyue to guess.

The distance between their faces were only twenty centimeters. Looking at Hong Zhong's bright eyes, Baili Mingyue slightly turned her head but did not say a word. She did not know why, but after hearing the answer from Hong Zhong's mouth, she actually felt a sense of joy and excitement!

Yi Chen had promised to let her leave the palace?!

Hong Zhong would never have thought that such news, which she didn't care about, would spread like a stone into the calm lake, shaking Baili Mingyue's heart like ripples.

Seeing that Baili Mingyue did not intend to continue speaking, Hong Zhong suddenly felt bored. This person was simply too boring, originally planned to tell her about Baili Yi Chen's plan to deal with him if he were to casually make a guess, but in the end she did not even bother to answer! You really don't want to guess, it might be related to you! "

When Baili Mingyue heard this, a trace of gloominess flashed in her eyes. She cast her gaze towards the sky, before slowly drifting away as she spoke, "Not guessing." In fact, there was no need to guess. He also knew what Baili Yi Chen's condition was. In the end, Yi Chen was still young and arrogant. He would easily act on his own initiative!

Originally, Hong Zhong wanted to give him a reminder, but the other party didn't seem to want to know at all. This made Hong Zhong feel embarrassed to say it even if she wanted to, so she just sat on the side and toyed with her nails.

After a long while, Baili Mingyue retracted her gaze, parted her lips and said: "Girl, why don't you like Yi Chen?" He vaguely remembered that when he first saw her on the roof of the Tung Wah Wah, she had been at odds with Yi Chen.

This also made him a little curious. As the youngest emperor of the entire Navy Tide Continent, regardless of whether it was reputation or looks, Baili Yi Chen was definitely one of the best candidate for a husband that a woman would yearn for in her dreams. Why didn't she like him? She even thought that it would be better to marry him … A pig?

Hong Zhong did not care much about it and raised her eyebrows: "Maybe it's because I'm at odds with him, but since the first time I saw him, I have offended him, and the hatred from him grew deeper and deeper, to the point that he was unwilling to kill me. It's not like I'm stupid, do you really think that you can marry someone who thinks about how to kill you day and night?"

Hearing this, Baili Mingyue lowered her eyes helplessly. Yi Chen was young and vigorous. He had always been in a high position and lived like a prince. Naturally, he wouldn't tolerate the slightest bit of sand in his eyes. He was not sure if he should be happy or what to do now that he and Hong Zhong had such a close relationship!

Suddenly, he felt like his hands had warmed up as Hong Zhong grabbed onto his hand with a face full of small excitement, "Uncle, I'm going to the National Temple in two days anyway. It's been a few days since I last saw you, why don't we go out of the palace and play tonight?"

Being grabbed by Hong Zhong, Baili Mingyue let go of the entanglement and tiredness in her heart. She looked at the hand that was holding her: "Leave the palace?"

"Yes, yes." Hong Zhong nodded seriously, as if she was acting a bit spoiled. "I've been in the palace for quite a few days now, hiding in the Xiwu Hall. If I don't go out and play, I'm going to grow moldy mushrooms! Uncle go, since I'm about to leave the palace and I haven't seen you for a few days, you should take me out of the palace to play. "

Baili Mingyue looked at Hong Zhong seriously, that look of anticipation in his eyes seemed to emit this fatal temptation, to the point where he suddenly and mysteriously responded, "Alright!"
