After all, this was an era where people were trying to make the best of their own parents …
Actually, what they didn't know was that after Baili Yi Chen returned, Hong Zhong had immediately followed him to the palace gate. But at that time, the palace gate had already closed, and when Baili Yi Chen remembered about the palace gate and gave the order to open it, Hong Zhong had already left!
"Yes, I understand." Baili Yi Chen indifferently replied. He didn't know why, but when he thought about the woman who had yet to return to the palace, he felt a strange sense of frustration in his heart. In the end, he attributed this frustration to the woman who was still useful to him.
… ….
Baili Mingyue looked at the sleeping girl beside her, and could not help but smile helplessly. This girl, she could not sleep even when she was speaking. Who knew that after chatting for a while, she would no longer pay attention to herself, falling into a deep sleep.
Looking at the firefly in Hong Zhong's hand, the guardian of love? In fact, wasn't he also a guardian of love in front of her? He lovingly reached out her hand and wrapped her tightly with a cloak. He got up and gently picked her up before walking towards the guest room.
In his heart, he firmly believed, "Girl, I will use all of my fluorescence to protect you!"
Next day
Hong Zhong woke up very early and entered the house to help her clean herself. She gave her an exquisite glass bottle, which was sparkling and translucent, filled with the firefly that she had caught last night. "Young miss, the king ordered his servant to give this bottle to young lady."
"Where is your prince?" Hong Zhong took the bottle and looked at it carefully. The bottle was made of top-grade glass, small and exquisite, sparkling and translucent. It seemed to be worth a lot. She kept the bottle carefully. From the bottom of her heart, she also felt that this Uncle Regent was actually quite meticulous to find such a precious glass bottle to store!
The servant lowered his head and replied respectfully: "Reporting to Miss, Your Highness has gone to court. Before leaving, His Highness had specially instructed me that Miss didn't rest well last night and could rest a bit longer. After I have tidied up properly, I will have Shezhengwang's Palace's carriage take you back to the palace. "
Hong Zhong nodded, allowing the servants to help her wash and pack her things, preparing to return to the palace, but on the way, Hong Zhong recalled that she had not seen her second brother for quite a while, so she decided to take a detour back to the Imperial General's Estate to take a look.
Thus, he sat on the carriage of the Shezhengwang's Palace and headed towards the Imperial General's Estate.
As they walked, the carriage suddenly stopped.
Hong Zhong lifted the carriage's curtain to take a look, and couldn't help but hold her forehead as she thought that only the 21st century Beijing would have a traffic jam. This ancient Shengjing City's One-Ring Street was not narrow, she didn't expect that this traffic jam would actually be this great! She frowned and asked, "What's going on in front of us?"
The coachman, who had caught up with the carriage, opened his mouth, "Miss, there seems to be a fight going on ahead. This servant will go take a look."
"Hurry, hurry. Hurry up." Hong Zhong waved her hand. She went to the general's estate and was rushing back to the palace. She really couldn't afford to delay any longer!
Not long after, she returned. Before she even had the time to report to Hong Zhong, she quickly pulled the carriage and returned, while walking, she said: "In front of us is a woman from the Pyncheon Empire. I don't know what reason she is fighting with the Vice Commander of the imperial guards, Miss, why don't we avoid her first?" It wasn't that he was afraid of that person. It was mainly because he was afraid of hurting the person in the car, so it was difficult for him to explain himself to his master.
Hearing about the fight in front, Hong Zhong knew that the two of them were experts, so she wanted to leave immediately. She wanted to leave as far as possible: "Alright, then let's go quickly."
However, before he could even finish his sentence, a "kacha ~ ~ ~" sound was heard. A piece of wood was bounced off the carriage, followed by a miserable shriek from the driver before he fell to the ground. Hong Zhong's veins on her forehead jumped, who the hell was this, he had destroyed her carriage, but she actually dared to harm his driver, how arrogant! She didn't think too much and went out, looking down on the two people who were fighting.
She was dressed in a bright red long dress with flowing clouds and a fiery red long whip tied around her waist. She looked extremely noble and imposing, and her exquisite face was filled with contempt: "Hmph, and here I thought that the Southern Qi's imperial guards were amazing, but today I've never seen them before!"
Behind her, there was a man dressed as a bodyguard. He also held a whip in his hand, and he was expressionlessly looking at the imperial guards in front of him.
Hong Zhong also noticed that the clothing of the two people was obviously not the same as the clothes that Southern Qi was used to.
At this time, there were two red lines on his face, making him look rather miserable. It seemed that he had lost to the person behind the woman in the fight just now, and now that he had been humiliated by the woman, his face was completely red, and he could not say a word.
The imperial guards were the troops under the jurisdiction of Dongfang Na.
Although Hong Zhong still remembered that Dongfang Mingzhu had looked for trouble with him before, but the woman clearly looked like she was insulting the Southern Qi, and the so-called nation being in a difficult position, naturally had to be united to the public. With a cold snort, she opened her mouth in disdain: "I was wondering who could block my way, and it turns out you are a untied dog!"
These words were a great insult to the two.
Hearing that, the lady became furious, and turned her head and stared at Hong Zhong arrogantly: "What did you say! Say that again if you dare! "
Because Hong Zhong was standing on top of a carriage, the woman had no choice but to raise her head when she looked at Hong Zhong.
Hong Zhong folded her arms across her chest, and condescendingly glanced down at her. Then, she laughed in contempt: "Did you blind your dog eyes? I am a woman, so I naturally have no balls! However... "Even if you don't have any balls, I can still say that again. You've dug up all your earwax. I said that whoever's dog is not properly tied up has blocked my path!"
"You!" The red-clothed girl was so angry that her face turned white. Pulling the long whip from his waist, he swung it. Hong Zhong responded to the side, and the long whip landed beside Hong Zhong.
When the woman saw Hong Zhong dodge, the anger in her heart became even more uncontrollable. "Do you know who this princess is? With that, he waved his hand again, preparing to whip Hong Zhong again.
"Are you stupid? You used a whip to whip me, why aren't you letting me dodge! " Hong Zhong looked at the red-clothed female in disbelief, as if she was looking at a stupid pig.
The woman felt embarrassed upon being stared at by Hong Zhong. She raised her hand, and was about to whip Hong Zhong, but the moment she did so, the man behind her grabbed onto the whip. The woman glared at him with her phoenix eyes: "Let go."
The man continued to hold onto the whip, as if he couldn't see the anger on the woman's face. He spoke in a neither humble nor haughty manner, "This person's identity is extraordinary. Princess, please reconsider!" The carriage she was sitting on had the symbol of the Shezhengwang's Palace, this person was definitely not an ordinary commoner!
The woman didn't say anything further as she slapped him, "Pah ~ ~", and with a sound, her slap landed on his face, and the man was still neither servile nor overbearing, his face was expressionless. The woman gave a disdainful snort, pointed at Hong Zhong, and said extremely arrogantly: "Hmph, my mother told you to follow me because she wanted you to help me, not because she wanted you to teach me how to do things.
Finally, under the girl's gaze, the person slowly opened his mouth and said, "Yes!"
That person was just about to move, when Hong Zhong raised her eyebrow: "You're a princess?"
"Yes sir!" The red-clothed female raised her brows in disdain, "This princess is the only princess of the State of Xi Ling, Huyan Ruolan. "You must be afraid, afraid that you will beg for mercy now, this princess will let you die faster!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene was completely silent. Everyone who was watching on the road had unfriendly expressions on their faces.
Everyone knew that Xi Ling and the Southern Qi had been at war with each other for 30 years. But now, Xi Ling's princess had actually appeared in Southern Qi's Shengjing City? There was something fishy about this!
"Xi Ling?" Hong Zhong frowned without batting an eyelid. If she remembered correctly, the Jinzhou City her father was guarding was at the border with Xi Ling. Seems like it was because Hong Tian had heavily injured General Xi Ling after she had stationed herself in the Jinzhou City, in exchange for the two of them having been at peace for the past dozen years. " Do you know who I am? "
Huyan Ruolan raised her eyebrows, "Who are you, the supervisor of this county? If you obstruct me, I'll have to die!"
Hong Zhong scoffed, "I would like to ask, between imperial concubine and Princess, which is bigger?" Do you think that a princess is that great? and she was even the next of kin to the Southern Qi!
Huyan Ruolan was stunned. imperial concubine and princess, they were naturally the great imperial concubine! However, she was different from the other princess. "Do you know who my father is? After Huyan Ruolan finished speaking, she looked at Hong Zhong with a face full of provocation.
His father was General Xi Ling, who held a heavy army in his hands. This way, her identity was naturally not something an ordinary princess could compare to, but someone who could be compared to a princess!
Looking at Huyan Ruolan's expression, Hong Zhong burst out in wild laughter, until Huyan Ruolan's back turned cold. Only then did she barely hold back, held onto her aching stomach and said: "Sigh, I really didn't want to lower myself to you at first, but since you said it, then Big Sis will fight it out with you. You said that your father was Chu Mofei, but, my father was a General Zhenguo of the Southern Qi, so he was the person who heavily injured your father ten years ago outside the Jinzhou City. "You said that your father is merely my father's defeated opponent, why are you so arrogant?"
As soon as Hong Zhong finished speaking, the spectators on the side of the road all began to hiss disdainfully at Huyan Ruolan. To dare to act so arrogantly and arrogantly in front of a defeated opponent, that was truly despicable.
Seeing that the people around him had all revealed looks of disdain, Huyan Ruolan became even angrier. It turned out that ten years ago, his father had nearly lost his life due to serious injuries. This was all thanks to the father of the woman in front of him! But in the end, Huyan Ruolan was still a fourteen or fifteen year old girl, so she couldn't help but be competitive in her heart and unwillingly say: "Then do you know who my mother is? My mother is the Great Grand Princess Xi Ling! This princess is also a princess personally bestowed by the king of Xi Ling, and has the surname of the royal family! You are nobler than this princess? "
With that, he looked up and stared at Hong Zhong. Hmph, this time, you can't compare to me! He gifted her with the royal family's surname and status comparable to the royal princesses!
"Eh …." This wasn't easy to compare, because she hadn't asked Qing Ya what her mother did either. Since her mother was already a princess, she probably couldn't even beat her!
Seeing Hong Zhong mutter to herself, Huyan Ruolan knew that she had gained the upper hand by betting on herself, and proudly opened her mouth: "You still can't compare to me, right? As she said that, she gave the guard a meaningful glance, and the guard immediately went up, looking as if he was about to kill Hong Zhong.
Hong Zhong swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, her mind spun even faster, and finally said: "Wait, Huyan Ruolan, as the princess of a nation, you don't have the ability to come out by yourself, and let your servant take action if you can't beat him, what ability do you have! "Everyone can see that ten years ago, your father was defeated by my father. Ten years later, you won't dare to fight me again." These words were undoubtedly mocking Huyan Ruolan.
That man's steps were steady and steady. With a single glance, one could tell that he was a practitioner. If he were to make a move, he would definitely die! Therefore, picking a weaker opponent would always be beneficial to him! Although he didn't know martial arts, his physique was still pretty good!
Huyan Ruolan was deceived, she immediately shouted to the man who was about to make his move: "Wait. Since you insist on death, I shall let you have a taste of my cold moon whip's might. " As she spoke, she put away the fiery-red whip in her hand. Her delicate face was full of malevolence and viciousness.
"What is a Cold Moon Whip?" Hong Zhong was confused, she turned her head and asked curiously, "Is it like a tiger's whip?"
Huyan Ruolan was stunned at first, but after thinking about it for a long time, she finally understood what Hong Zhong meant. Wasn't the tiger whip the same as the tiger? How could this woman be so shameless!
As for the spectators, their mouths were opened so wide that an egg could fit inside. Although the Southern Qi was considered to be a civilized country, it was not to the extent of casually putting tiger whips and such on their mouths. Furthermore, this was a woman! Although they felt that humiliating Huyan Ruolan was very satisfying, but they had to admit that this Red House was simply too shameless, too wretched!
Seeing that the other party was so angry that his face was flushed red, Hong Zhong could not help but sneer, raising his eyebrows and asking with ill intentions: "Looks like it's different from a tiger's whip, is it like a human's whip?"
"You!" Huyan Ruolan's face instantly turned green again! However, she quickly regained her composure. She knew that this woman was too shameless. If he were to continue arguing with her, she might as well make a move. Thus, she didn't bother speaking anymore and raised her hand, preparing to whip her.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Hong Zhong immediately extended her hand out and stopped, then slowly got off the carriage under everyone's gaze: "Huyan Ruolan, you're in a hurry to be reborn, I'm not ready yet, why are you in a hurry! Do you really think that you people from Xi Ling will win just because you made the first move? "
Huyan Ruolan's face stiffened: What more do you want!?
