Chapter 212 You Don’t Want to Marry the Princess

“Bang, bang!”

Xiao Chengjin raised his hand and knocked on the door, preparing himself to be scolded.

Sheng Yunshao heard a knock on the door while he was sleeping, but he ignored it, turned over and continued to sleep.

Xiao Chengjin moved his ears, "Ruoruo, father-in-law may not have heard it."

Jiang Ruo covered her lips and smiled, "Watch me."

She came to the window and knocked on it, "Old man, wake up."

"I'm Ruo Ruo."

Sheng Yunshao, who was lying on the bed, suddenly woke up when he heard the sound outside the window.

The girl is here?

No, I was just sleep deprived.

"Old man, open the door." Jiang Ruo pricked up his ears, listening to the movements in the room.

When Sheng Yunshao heard Jiang Ruo's voice clearly, his face lit up with joy.

The girl is quite reliable.

He stood up, put on a robe, put on his shoes and walked quickly to the door.

“Squeak!”

When Sheng Yunshao opened the door, he saw Xiao Chengjin standing outside.

"Where's the girl?"

"I'm here." Jiang Ruo walked quickly to the door.

Sheng Yunshao glanced at Xiao Chengjin standing at the door and said with a pleasant face, "Son-in-law, go wait at the gate of the yard. The girl and I have something to discuss."

Xiao Chengjin: "......"

Well, I am redundant.

"Ruoruo, I'll wait for you outside." After Xiao Chengjin finished speaking, he walked straight out of the yard.

Jiang Ruo looked at the mysterious Sheng Yunshao and said jokingly, "Why are you being so mysterious? Are you going to find a mother for me?"

Sheng Yunshao's old face flushed when he heard this, and he subconsciously retorted, "I'm not old."

Having said that, he turned back to his room and lit the candle.

Jiang Ruo: Hehe, old man, it’s okay!

"Girl, come in and sit down."

When Jiang Ruo entered the room, the first thing she saw was several sets of clothes on the hangers.

Haha, it must have been bought by my aunt for the old man!

Sheng Yunshao sat at the table, followed Jiang Ruo's gaze, and quickly explained, "The temperature has dropped a bit in recent days, and Princess An Ran bought this for me."

Jiang Ruo chuckled and sat opposite Sheng Yunshao.

"Tell me, what do you want to discuss with me?"

Sheng Yunshao was thinking about what happened last night and picking at his fingers nervously.

"Girl, I..."

How should I start?

Jiang Ruo looked at the hesitant Sheng Yunshao and said in a joking tone, "Old man, you don't want to marry into the princess's family, do you?"

Sheng Yunshao: “…”

It’s not impossible.

"Girl, Princess Anran already knows that I'm not 'Doctor Sheng'."

"What? You're exposed already?" Jiang Ruo's voice unconsciously became a little louder.

You did it on purpose!

Sheng Yunshao sighed and said with a hint of distress: "Girl, let's put this matter aside for now and talk about something else."

Jiang Ruo looked at the sighing Sheng Yunshao and subconsciously asked, "You weren't rejected by your aunt, were you?"

Sheng Yunshao glanced outside the door and lowered his voice, "You haven't confessed your feelings, so how can you say no?"

After a moment of silence, he pointed at himself and said, "Girl, I always feel that Princess An Ran seems to be interested in 'him'."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruo immediately understood why Sheng Yunshao was worried.

"So what do you think?"

Sheng Yunshao said with a slightly aggrieved look, "I just feel like this is a bit of a robbery."

Jiang Ruo looked at Sheng Yunshao who was worried about love and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Hey, you are him and he is you."

"My aunt is unmarried, and you are unmarried either. As long as my aunt doesn't despise you, just take the initiative!"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yunshao muttered softly, "She doesn't seem to dislike me."

"Life is only a few decades long. Be bold. Once you win over your aunt, we will prepare a wedding for you." Jiang Ruo said with a chuckle.

Sheng Yunshao suddenly felt that what Jiang Ruo said made some sense.

His frown relaxed a little, "Then I'll try it!"

"Oh, by the way, we came back this time to pick you and aunt up to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival." After Jiang Ruo finished speaking, she covered her lips and yawned.

Sheng Yunshao looked at the sky and said, "It's almost dawn, you two should go back and catch up on some sleep."

Jiang Ruo stood up and when she was about to walk out the door, she turned back and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, everything will come true."

Tsk tsk, the old man is finally not obsessed with medicine anymore.

At the gate of the palace.

After the patrol guards changed shifts, the captain named Du who saw the golden light hurried to the palace.

The chief guard at the palace gate looked at his brother who was rushing towards him and stepped forward to stop him. "Brother Du, what are you doing..."

Captain Du pulled him aside and whispered in his ear, "I've found the 'thief's' tracks and am about to report to the emperor in the palace."

Upon hearing this, the captain of the guards did not dare to stop him.

"Let him go!"

Captain Du raised his eyebrows proudly and said, "I'll treat you to a drink when I have time." After that, he strode into the palace.

In front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Chief Steward Ji glanced at Captain Du with disdain and asked sarcastically, "Are you the one who requested to see the Emperor?"

Captain Du glanced around warily and whispered, "Master Chief, while I was on patrol at night, I noticed the golden light appear again..."

"What?"

"Are you serious?" Manager Ji shook his Buddhist whisk, as if he couldn't believe it.

Captain Du looked at Ji's anxious expression and shrank his neck. "It's absolutely true."

"You wait here, I will report to the emperor." After saying this, Steward Ji ran back to the bedroom.

In the sleeping hall.

Xiao Junze was eating breakfast absentmindedly.

The dragon throne is easy, but what about the jade seal?

If that doesn't work, then order someone to secretly build one...

"Your Majesty, this is great news!" Steward Ji's voice arrived before he even showed up in person.

Xiao Junze looked at Manager Ji, who had a happy expression on his face, and frowned slightly.

He picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his lips, then said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what's the good news?"

Steward Ji came to Xiao Junze's side and said with joy, "Your Majesty, last night... the golden light appeared again."

Xiao Junze stood up suddenly, "Are you serious?"

"Someone is waiting outside..." Before Manager Ji could finish his words, Xiao Junze quickly walked out of the bedroom.

When the bright yellow figure approached, Captain Du immediately knelt and saluted, "Your humble servant greets the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

Xiao Junze covered his lips and coughed, "Ahem, stand up."

"Tell me what you saw last night."

Captain Du stood up, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, while on patrol last night, I saw a golden light flash across the night sky."

Xiao Junze was delighted. "Okay, wait until I bring the thief to justice, and I will reward you handsomely!"

"You should withdraw!"

Upon hearing this, Captain Du quickly knelt down to express his gratitude.

After he left, Xiao Junze whispered to Chief Steward Ji, "Continue to spread the news about the Cold Palace's 'underground treasure house'."

"Also, tell those who are lying in ambush day and night to be on high alert for the next two days."

"I obey your command." When Manager Ji thought that the "thief" was about to be caught, he left happily.

Xiao Junze stood where he was and slowly clenched his hands.

Humph! I have already laid a dragnet.

I forgive you for not being able to escape even if you have wings.
