Chapter 5

Faintly, she seemed to hear someone speaking in a lowered voice

Where it is different, she cannot distinguish.

After a long period without a response, the young servant timidly asked, "Is the prince not going?"

What does this fish mean? Does he think she is that desperate?

She looked enviously in the direction of the faint snoring not far away and let out a long sigh

The little princess guessed for a long time, but in the end, she still lost

The letter handed to her by the young man was sprinkled with gold, faintly revealing a phoenix in flight; this mark was not unfamiliar to her

She feels as if her whole body is falling apart in pain

Liu Ying thought of this, and her face turned pale

Her lack of authority also arose from the regent.

Then you tell me, what grievances do you have with this person and the maid? This little princess is quite persistent, insisting on getting to the bottom of it. Liu Ying admires her courage somewhat; indeed, ignorance is bliss.

Liu Ying raised an eyebrow with a smile and said, "Alright, tell me, how do you want to die?" The tone was casual, no different from asking, "Have you eaten?" or "The weather is nice today, isn't it?"

Take care of yourself; playing three times a day is sufficient; do not indulge too much

Halfway through, she suddenly froze in place

Before she fell into a coma, she vaguely heard someone softly comforting her: "Do not be afraid, young lady, the second young master will return to save you soon..." The voice was cold and sharp, carrying an indescribable malice

Liu Ying does not wish to sacrifice his life to pave the way for the ambitions of Prince Ning

Having touched the car door, the wooden floor, and the roof in succession, she finally despondently realized that this carriage was indeed seamless, with no way to escape. It seemed that the other party had put in considerable effort to imprison people like herself.

With this thought in mind, she simply chose to lie down again

The coarse gravel pierced her delicate palm, sending waves of sharp, subtle pain.

It felt as if a sharp silver needle had violently pierced the eye, unleashing a torrent of emotions such as anger, shame, and fear... In an instant, such thoughts surged into my mind, pouring forth countless dark negative feelings

Just as Liu Ying was in a daze, nearly fainting, a sweet and pleasant young voice suddenly rang out, saying in a crisp tone: "Nineteenth Uncle, what are you doing here? Are you admitting your defeat?"

The group of maidservants selected to enter the Ning Wangfu is not to be underestimated

Where is Hu Tu? What is he up to?

At this time, it is the season of magnolia flowers and the grand feast of hibiscus

Before fully understanding, a surge of hot blood suddenly welled up in my heart, and in that moment, I was filled with fear and trepidation

She could almost imagine how serious and kind the expression on the fish's face was while writing these few words

The further one goes inside, the more exquisite the craftsmanship becomes

When the earnest gaze reached the last word, a strange expression suddenly appeared on her face, as if a person had eaten half of an apple only to discover there was half a worm inside it

The footsteps gradually faded away

With Ning Wang's low rebuke, Liu Ying was harshly dismissed

The old woman spoke incessantly, while the young girls listened with trepidation

Liu Ying raised her gaze and unexpectedly met a pair of fierce, piercing eyes that were staring down at her from a position of superiority

The sound of the wind seemed to pause outside the window, while another voice, though faint, carried an innate sense of clamor

One person stepped forward and replied, "Miss, do not be alarmed, we are the Red Cloud Guards chosen to serve you"

Liu Ying was taken aback for a moment, then immediately lowered his head in acknowledgment

Mud and rainwater covered Liu Ying's face and body completely

The leisurely atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly changed. The young man, who had just delivered the letter, clenched his fist and slowly stepped forward, presenting a gleaming dagger. His expression was as cold as frost, and he spoke softly: "If the young lady wishes to drive us away, it would be better to kill us immediately. It is certainly preferable to being subjected to a thousand cuts upon our lord's return"

Such a person should not be controlled by the fish.

In fact, there is nothing much written above, just a few ordinary greetings

At the first glance, she was certain that this was not written by Hu Tu

As for the young emperor, he would pay even less attention to the debauched and indulgent Prince of the Nineteenth.

Did you not lose? Then I do not understand, why did you come here alone

Prince Ning tightened his elegantly defined jaw and said in a deep voice, "When has this prince ever lost!"

A terrifying silence

The three that Princess Xiangning guessed are all the simplest ones

Without thinking, she immediately realized that it was fish micro.

At this moment, only six riddles remain

She ignored the stabbing pain in her fingers, her complexion dark enough to almost be used for ink, "Where is the fish?"

However, how could such a handsome young man appear in my room

Just thinking, I have passed through several months of the cave door

It is not that she is boosting others' ambitions while undermining her own prestige

Great favor, no power

Liu Ying borrowed the magnolia flower's bud to hint at her the riddle for half a day, only to receive such an evaluation in the end. This girl felt deeply wronged, a lump stuck in her throat, and she increasingly felt a burning sensation in her throat. She looked incredulously at the shadow of the little princess running away, finally understanding why Hu Tu once described Shuning with four words: greatly favored, yet powerless.

These youths, lacking martial skills, do not pose a threat to themselves

Liu Ying pressed her slightly pale lips together, signaling him to place the letter on the desk.

As she opened the door, Liu Ying tightened her grip on the letter in her hand. This was paper from the Fuchen Ji, pure white with a chilling luster, distinct from the xuan paper used in other households. This type of paper was lighter than xuan, yet remarkably sturdy; when held up to the light, it almost revealed a translucent flow. Liu Ying clenched it tightly, and in her distraction, her fingers were sharply grazed.

The remaining six riddles must be solved by Princess Xiangning; unless she can guess four of them, Prince Ning will surely win

is ... ...

Liu Ying opened his eyes and saw a shadow of red water.

The answer is: "I do not know"

Liu Ying lowered her eyelids, unable to help but ponder.

The rockery pavilion in Shuo Bei is cleansed of dust and blemishes in the fine, silk-like drizzle. Where the light rain falls, it resembles a meandering river encircling the hazy green mountains, with fine grains of pure white densely clustered, creating an atmosphere of understated luxury

The little princess pestered Prince Ning for a while, only to find that he was as cold as an ice block and completely unwilling to pay her any attention. She then said, "Nineteenth Uncle, this maidservant is quite to my liking. Would you be so kind as to give her to me?"

I am afraid that, apart from being inherently brutal, there is nothing genuine about this Prince of the Nineteenth.

She took a small step back, then another step back, feeling anxious in her heart

Where have you gone?

Just as Liu Ying was lost in thought, a sudden burst of cheers came from across the water, resounding loudly. This round of applause was different from the previous one; it pierced the clouds and cracked the stones, hinting at turbulent waves and surging currents.

This is a four-character summary that Hu Tu casually mentioned at the beginning

In the intervals of inhalation and exhalation, there is nothing but intoxicating freshness

Before she could step back, she felt her legs weaken, and her whole body fell into a warm embrace.

The little princess pouted and said: "Since you are going to kill her anyway, why not give her to me? That would be making the best use of resources; she is merely a maid. Otherwise, let us play a riddle game; whoever wins will have their way..."

Liu Ying raised the dagger to the level of his eyebrows, the tip of the blade reflecting a brilliant gleam in the sunlight

She suspected that with that one punch, it might not be the car door that shattered, but rather her own fist

Her favor is due to the regent's influence

I have slept for too long, and now I can't even fall asleep when I want to.

The concubines in the palace do not regard Prince Ning as a person of significance

Princess Shuning was quite fortunate, as she guessed these simple riddles correctly one after another, getting three right in a row. There were still two more slips hanging by the highest and largest magnolia flower. The little princess pointed at one of the pinkish-white flowers, full of excitement, "I want this one, the Nineteenth Prince will pick this one, and I will guess! If I guess correctly, this maid will belong to me!"

Seeing Liu Ying gather a few withered flowers in her hand, he took it as a mockery of himself and angrily scattered them on the ground, exclaiming, "Vile servant, there is no need to fiddle with these worthless things; you are indeed a fool!"

Before I could walk far, a tense and cold voice suddenly rang in my ears, piercing through the layers of floral shadows, sharply questioning: "Whose maid are you?" The voice seemed distant, likely coming from deep within the grass.

Matters that you should not understand

She squinted her eyes and vaguely saw herself being thrown to a group of men in black by the boy in the red robe

Lord Ning raised his sword-like eyebrows and impatiently reprimanded, "What is all this noise!"

Liu Ying suddenly felt that something was amiss, and alarm bells rang in his heart

She took a deep breath in confusion and lazily opened her eyes

Liu Ying unfolded the letter, having previously paid it no attention, merely skimming over it carelessly.

The cobblestone path, paved with blue stones, winds like a snake. When the sunlight filters through the heavy, jade-like leaves, casting a dazzling glow on the ground, you will discover that the blue stones are interspersed with many lustrous pebbles, arranged in various patterns of flowers, birds, fish, and insects according to the seasons.

The sound is clear and bright, like a spring breeze passing over snow, allowing one to unconsciously relax the mind and spirit

The fish appears innocent and carefree, yet it possesses the traits of the thorny bush, silently and fiercely killing, far from being a benign creature

The dawn light refracts through the azure clouds, resembling the large, white blooms of the night-blooming cereus, bright and distant.

Even the Ning Wang noticed his subtle movements, yet Shuning remained completely unaware.

She has little compassion; the lives and deaths of men are of no concern to her

The hem of the skirt brushed against the blades of grass, producing a rustling sound

The games of the nobles are merely pastimes to pass the time. Historically, the temperament of the nobles has been the most brutal; if anyone were to see a mere servant idly wandering about, it could very well lead to unforeseen troubles

One can hear that Yu Wei's voice is anxiously coming from the bottom of her heart. Even if Liu Ying is asleep or in a daze, her face has turned pale.

She was merely curious, yet did not ponder further

As the words fell, the faces of the men suddenly turned as pale as snow

A major incident has occurred in Shenyang

A young servant in a green robe hurriedly ran over, continuously shouting, "Your Highness!"

The goddesses, with expressions of alarm, followed the matron as they disembarked from the carriage and entered through the back gate of the royal residence.

The surroundings were very crowded, and the window was sealed with wooden planks, pitch dark, making it impossible to discern whether it was day or night. Judging by the speed of the carriage, although Liu Ying did not know the direction they were heading, he could be certain that they were already far from Ruyin.

Can you imagine a situation where a handsome young man appears in a woman's boudoir

The so-called "Kuiyuan" refers to the title granted to those who can correctly guess more than half of the flower riddles at the Furong Banquet. The title itself is merely nominal; what is substantial is the promise of a wish granted by the prince. Prince Ning had originally been extremely impatient, but upon hearing this, his brows furrowed, and a glimmer of sharpness flashed in the corner of his eye, "Has someone guessed all the flower riddles?"

Hu Tu: "Hmm"

Although she was awake, she found that she still could not muster any strength and could only be helplessly carried around by others. After being carried for a long time, she became numb, feeling dazed and moving as she was directed.

... ...

From the fingertips to the heart, there is not a single place that is not comforting and warm

They are talking about something, but she cannot hear clearly because they are too far away

A gust of wind blew, and the magnolia seemed to have absorbed the rich colors from the rouge, dancing enchantingly.

Hu Tu: "No need."

Just as I was thinking, an ancient dagger intricately carved with mysterious silver threads was thrust into my hand

Nonsense

In that fleeting moment, she sensed the fear of death

The effect of the sedative was very mild; after a couple of jolts, Liu Ying woke up

This is not difficult to guess

Any normal person, upon witnessing such a scene early in the morning, would not be able to laugh

In October, at Xinling, the banquet of white morning and red evening hibiscus

I must say, the potion concocted by the young man in the red robe is quite effective; even now, the feeling of dizziness is only gradually fading away

Though faint, it can still illuminate the heavens and the earth

At that moment, a wave of applause came from the front. Across a stretch of water, faintly tinged with red, one could see a profusion of flowers in full bloom, dazzling in their brilliance. Earlier, I had heard the old lady mention that this was the Hibiscus Banquet hosted by Prince Ning

A significant event has occurred in Shenyang

It is said that the Ning Wang Mansion is haunted, with female ghosts dressed in white appearing one after another

This person, clad in a red robe with great precision, has eyes that shimmer and a gaze that is clear. Their steps are extremely slow yet composed. They resemble a red lotus demoness emerging from the dark night, each step akin to a blooming lotus, with a subtle fragrance wafting in the air

"Having guessed it, each of you can go to your own gardens. Do you still want me to lead you?" The Prince of Ning was displeased; these servants were becoming increasingly muddled in their duties. The poor young servant, who happened to encounter the Prince of Ning in a bad mood, was left feeling aggrieved and said, "All of you masters are making a fuss, still waiting to see the benefits that you, my lord, will grant. After all, this is the first time in these years that a champion has appeared."

She struggled to sit up straight, reaching out to touch the car window. The roughness mixed with a chilling sensation informed her that the seal was quite thick, perhaps even reinforced with some incredibly strong metal.

This sleep was solid and peaceful

She is referring to Liu Ying

truly ... ... concerning "naivety"

To receive great favor, there are only two scenarios: one is extreme intelligence, and the other is naive foolishness

However, when Liu Ying truly interacted with Prince Ning, after several exchanges, she realized that it was not the case. If Prince Ning were truly lecherous, a more reasonable behavior upon meeting her would be to indulge in lust first and then resort to killing. If Prince Ning were genuinely indifferent to political affairs, why would he set up the Lotus Banquet? The guests at the Lotus Banquet were all nobility and aristocrats, and those young ladies and gentlemen were utterly indiscreet. If Prince Ning wanted to gather any information, it would be as easy as turning his hand, without even leaving his home, to collect news from across the world. The guests at the Lotus Banquet were all nobility and aristocrats, and those young ladies and gentlemen were utterly indiscreet. If Prince Ning wanted to gather any information, it would be as easy as turning his hand, without even leaving his home, to collect news from across the world.

On that morning, Liu Ying had not yet awakened when he heard some faint murmurs of discussion near his ear. Drowsy and enveloped in warmth, it felt as if he were covered by a vast and soft feather.

In the midst of boredom, a few female voices were heard, hushed and anxious, discussing: "The young lord is sending us to the Ning Wang residence to be maidservants, isn't that just a death sentence for us! I have heard that the Nineteenth Prince is bloodthirsty and lecherous, and the Ning Wang residence never hires maidservants. As soon as that lecherous prince sees us, not only is our chastity at risk, but our lives are also in jeopardy"

Because of this sound, the strength that gripped her own neck was abruptly halved

The leaves and fruits, as green as jade, are adorned with delicate flowers in shades of pale pink and peach, gracefully springing forth from the branches

Young Master Er, are you not going to greet the young lady?

These eyes, with a hint of blue in the eyeshadow, shine brightly like flames in the dark night, revealing a dangerous hue that seems to burn everything to ashes

If this continues, it will truly lead to death

Liu Ying also hoped that she could guess it. Following the simple-minded and naive Princess Xiangning was certainly much safer than being with the unpredictable Nineteenth Prince. From the attitude of the Ning Prince towards Princess Shuning, it is evident that he is not foolish at all; in fact, he is quite astute. He meticulously maintains his residence and acts ostentatiously, presenting himself as a lecherous and bloodthirsty figure, but this is merely for the benefit of the regent and the ladies in the palace.

However, there is also a slight difference

The men replied: "He has left."

King Ning furrowed his brow and remained silent

One should have encountered the volcano in this manner

As the young man in the red robe walked away, the sound of footsteps grew closer, stopping beside her. Then she felt a strong force pass through her side, roughly dragging her for a distance before throwing her aside

She looked at the letter in her hand with a mix of tears and laughter, needing to exert great effort to control her impulse to kill

Amidst his confusion, Ning Wang caught sight of a delicate light green shadow beneath a tree full of blossoms and impatiently waved his hand, "You, come here."

This royal residence can "speak," and the ghost stories within the mansion can also "speak." They warn the rulers wary of Prince Ning, saying: "Our master will never amount to anything great, being both greedy and lecherous! A mere insignificant figure!"

Fish Wei: "So... Second Young Master, you are leaving just like this? Will you not care for the young lady anymore? That day, the young lady really tore your clothes... Did she, did she do that to you? Are you angry with the young lady..."

Liu Ying secretly clicked his tongue, immediately abandoning the idea of smashing the car door with his fist and then fleeing.

It is ... ... a flower riddle, all guessed correctly!

Ning Wang cast a faint glance at the disheveled woman on the grass, remaining silent.

They should be related to Hu Tu

From beside me, the sound of a young girl's suppressed crying could be heard

Fish Wei: "Will you stay to take care of the young lady?"

The expressions of the numerous men tightened, their gazes drawn to that dazzling, almost otherworldly light.

The child's toys, Liu Ying thought that Prince Ning was unwilling to engage at all, yet Prince Ning surprisingly began to play with the little princess.

They talked all the way, and Liu Ying listened all the way

She was eager to find someone to prove her identity, but found that everyone had dispersed. There was no way to verify her identity. ... Also ... ... there was no way. ... ... Breathing, she didn't even have the chance to speak

The timid servant, holding his breath and seemingly gathering immense courage, finally managed to finish the last part in one breath: "When I came, Kui Yuan advised you to bring those around you, saying they would be of use."

She helplessly pulled the blanket to cover her ears

Even in the open-minded Qizhou, such absurdity has never occurred

He was certain that on that day in the carriage, he had forcefully violated Hu Tu!

The cage of varnish, with tightly spaced window slats

This hibiscus does not refer to the elegant lotus that blooms in June, surrounded by the clear waves and fragrant breezes. Instead, it is the delicate beauty found by the riverside and pond after the frost has fallen. When the magnolia flowers bloom, the interplay of light on the water and the shadows of the flowers creates a delightful scene

A pair of cold black eyes scrutinized everyone inch by inch, measuring them silently. At that moment, the sky suddenly brightened, and a slender, elegant young man stepped out from the group of handsome men, calmly presenting a letter and saying softly: "My lord commands that this letter be delivered personally to the young lady."

This four-character evaluation is filled with a strong sense of incongruity. Throughout history, those who are favored have invariably held power. Yet this young princess possesses only favor, devoid of power. From another perspective, it also indicates that the favor she has received is more illusory than substantial

After Liu Ying woke up, she was accustomed to keeping her eyes closed and lounging in bed for a while. However, today, just as she comfortably sighed, she noticed a very uncomfortable sensation throughout her body—a mysterious atmosphere enveloped her, reminiscent of the time in her childhood when she broke her mother's favorite blue-and-white porcelain, holding her breath and waiting for the impending punishment

Before she could step away, a gust of wind swept by, and a tall, ghostly figure suddenly appeared silently before her

Prince Ning raised his hand to pull down the bamboo stick hanging from the flower branch, his long hair, like ink threads, fell in a few strands along his cheek, and his thick eyelashes accentuated his face, giving it a surprisingly alluring charm, with rosy cheeks and a delicate complexion. Princess Xiangning smiled as she took the bamboo stick, her eyes brightening, "Wearing a straw hat on the head, there is someone underneath. Holding a short knife in hand, yet everyone loves it. This is easy to guess, it is— a flower"

Having regained his strength, Liu Ying immediately assessed his surroundings and determined that he was currently in a carriage

As the crowd gradually exited, Liu Ying finally opened the letter, shaking off the plain paper, on which a few lines of elegant characters emerged in ink.

He frowned, about to investigate the truth of the matter

Liu Ying was startled and nearly screamed out loud

Perhaps it is some master who is weary of the noise, specifically seeking a quiet place to rest

Drinking games and guessing flower riddles

It seemed that she did not fully comprehend the contents of the letter. With a flick of her wrist, she brought it closer to her eyes and read it again. Her gaze appeared to savor each sentence, meticulously examining it, breaking it down word by word, and then piecing it back together.

She is not in a hurry to open that letter

She pressed her lips tightly together, hurriedly suppressing the cries of pain that almost escaped her. The air, drained and thin, was inhaled little by little into her lungs, and her skin, gradually cooling inch by inch, began to feel a warm flow rising. Yet, her neck bones throbbed with a fiery pain. Even breathing would scrape against her lung tissue, bringing a tearing sensation of agony

Desire for a face, lack of a face; desire for a figure, lack of a figure

Through the shallow lattice, the layers of green peaks rise majestically, and the flying pavilions are adorned with flowing red.

Liu Ying suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought that the favor bestowed upon Princess Xiangning, even if it were merely superficial, was still a form of favor. If she could leverage this to rise, it should not be difficult to leave this place

At this moment, Liu Ying realized that he had underestimated the lethality of Yu Wei

Is it wise or foolish for someone like Prince Ning to indulge in such extravagant luxury and construct grand palaces

The straw hat takes the character for grass at the top, with a person underneath, and there is a knife, which is also a dagger

Miss, we are leaving

Liu Ying looked at the men with a mocking gaze, remaining silent.

Liu Ying was startled and took refuge in a corner

It turns out that this group of women were selected maids from the Marquis's residence, intended to be sent to the Prince of Ning's residence for work. Due to the notorious reputation of the Nineteenth Prince, in order to prevent these maids from escaping on their own, the transport cart was even nailed with one hundred and nine nails

The young servant was so frightened that he hurriedly fell to the ground, running so fast that he couldn't even catch his breath, and exclaimed: "I dare not speak recklessly; there are a total of 369 flower riddles, and I truly guessed them all!"

In the next moment, she realized that her neck was being tightly gripped by someone, violently twisting her neck and lifting her off the ground. The air suddenly became thin, and her cervical vertebrae seemed to emit a crisp "crack" sound.

Liu Ying boredly picked up the fallen magnolia blossoms from the ground, their petals withered, leaving only a thin and pitiful flower heart. Seven or eight flower stems held up the pale yellow flower cores, solitary and desolate, exuding a distinctly cold and lonely atmosphere

Then you may leave as well

One by one, these handsome young men, with timid brows and shy eyes, have long black hair cascading to the ground. Their red robes shimmer with alluring brilliance, and from the half-opened red robes, delicate and snow-white skin is revealed, with a light blush that seems to glisten with moisture

These individuals are presented to you for your leisurely enjoyment

In Cangyuan, no one among the lords and nobles is unaware of the Furong Banquet

Regardless of her explanations, she herself has been labeled as a "pervert" by him

In a state of confusion, I found myself thrown into a crowded space, and then I fainted again

She really wants to get up and discuss with everyone whether it can be a little lighter

Among them, there is a captivating dancer, graceful and enchanting, who moves like the flowing water. There is also a beautiful musician, with delicate fingers, playing melodious and soothing tunes. Whether it is a melodious voice or an alluring figure, they are skilled in singing and dancing, serving men with elegance

Liu Ying was slightly taken aback, pondering to herself when the Nineteenth Prince would ever possess the grace to accommodate others

The regent does not take Prince Ning seriously

He merely smiled faintly and whispered in her ear: "Miss, you are reluctant to see me die, and you still need me." As soon as the words fell, a strange warm fragrance suddenly surged through the air, subtly and silently spreading all around.

Thus, the answer is "flower", which also corresponds to the Hibiscus banquet

Piece together some useful information from the disjointed remarks

Could it be that they think they can perform "Fist Shattering Car Door" for the Nineteenth Prince, or perhaps "Car Door Shattering Fist"?

With great force, she stumbled and could not help but fall awkwardly to the ground

But what can she do if she goes there

It is unknown which unfortunate servant has offended the master, thus provoking such a severe inquiry.

Hmph, you only know how to deceive me. In my opinion, it must be that this maid misguessed the flower riddle and made a mistake with the wine order, causing you to lose face at the Hibiscus Banquet, which is why you are so angry

She had long realized that the person delivering the letter was not simple

... ... is Prince Ning

Liu Ying, feeling helpless, indeed finds himself in a streak of bad luck, even getting food stuck in his teeth from drinking cold water

To those in power, Ning Wang is of no use, and being of no use is the best option

Liu Ying was unwilling to keep people, yet they did not dare to leave

Almost instinctively, her voice revealed a sharpness akin to a blade as she quietly reprimanded: "Who is it?"

Liu Ying did not want to cause trouble, so he hurriedly quickened his pace, wishing to distance himself from this dispute

Uncertain how much time had passed, Liu Ying was awakened by a suffocating stench.

The two groups of people remained in a stalemate.

Outside the window, the footsteps gradually fade away, and the voices of conversation are muffled to an extreme, faint and distant, as if they are at the edge of the sky. Covering my head and face, indeed, not a single nonsensical word can be heard.

Liu Ying reflected repeatedly

With this in mind, she deliberately quickened her pace

It is fish micro

The other party's voice was fierce and menacing, exuding a bloody cruelty, as they sternly said: "Who allowed you to wander around privately?"

Who does not know that the Nineteenth Prince has a rough temperament, daring even to offend the young emperor's dignity... Could it be... Thinking of a possibility, Liu Ying discreetly glanced at the little princess, only to see that although her demeanor and appearance were outstanding, among the royal family, she was merely of average beauty. There was only one possibility: the little princess was the adopted daughter of the Empress Dowager, the Princess Xiangning, who had been bestowed by the regent.

From such a brief interaction, Liu Ying discovered that Prince Ning disliked hearing anyone's voice. His anger was like a piled-up pressure, having been endured and suppressed to the extreme. Therefore, upon hearing any noisy sounds again, even if it was merely the rustling of a skirt brushing against the ground, it would evoke his strong aversion.

These three characters were carefully chewed over by Liu Ying between his lips and teeth.

For Liu Ying, this sound was like a ray of light suddenly breaking through in the pitch darkness

One can see the painted beams of the roof, the towering ridges, and even the heads of the nails are particularly radiant and exceptionally dazzling. From below, it appears as if the shimmering waves of azure are sparkling, resembling a celestial palace.

Prince Ning is not someone to be trifled with; even the slightest offense can provoke his furious wrath

After a moment of panic, she has already calmed down

From flowers, all the way to herbs

She quickly confirmed that there was no impression of "Chiyunwei" in her memory

He is a pitiful person, and also a sad one

Red Cloud Guard

The Lotus Feast has just begun, with a total of three hundred sixty-nine flower riddles. It will take some effort to guess them all

The little princess truly has a refined interest, guessing one after another. Flower riddles are indeed a child's plaything. Liu Ying listened for a while and soon became drowsy, yet those two relatives were still enjoying the guessing game. At one moment it was "flower," at another it was "harmony," then it was "you," and then "me".

In fact, she could hear that it was the footsteps of Hu Tu

The characters written by Hu Tu appear elegant and fluid, yet they possess a subtle nobility, reflecting an inherent aloofness and coldness. This letter, though penned with delicate strokes, exudes a hint of cunning and exquisite charm in the angles of the characters.
