Sang Jiang: ...
She reached out and patted Nangong Luoying's back.
After crying her fill, Nangong Luoying climbed off Sang Jiang again. She wiped away her tears, sniffed, and looked at Sang Jiang with a determined expression: "Royal Sister!"
Sang Jiang was startled by her voice. She touched her nose and coughed lightly, almost imperceptibly, "What's wrong?"
Nangong Luoying looked at her with a determined expression: "I will definitely make Lord Zhang fall in love with me."
Sang Jiang: ...
She looked at Nangong Luoying speechlessly, but seeing her determined little face, Sang Jiang really couldn't bring herself to refuse.
"So what are you going to do?" Sang Jiang stretched out her leg to brace against the rocking chair, stopping it from rocking any further.
"Ying'er." Nangong Luoying called out to Ying'er.
Ying'er quickly stepped forward and bowed her head in front of her: "Princess."
Nangong Luoying was in a bad mood, so she became a little nervous.
Nangong Luoying raised her chin, her nose and eyes red, looking somewhat comical. She looked at Ying'er and said arrogantly, "Go and kiss Lord Zhang over, and tell him that the princess has something to discuss with him."
Ying'er glanced at Sang Jiang subconsciously, and only dared to answer her after seeing Sang Jiang nod slightly: "This servant will go right away."
Ying'er ran out for quite a while before finally finding Lord Zhang, who was preparing to leave the palace.
"Lord Zhang, Lord Zhang!" Ying'er called out as she ran.
Lord Zhang stopped and turned to look at Ying'er.
Ying'er ran over to him and said, "This servant greets Lord Zhang."
Lord Zhang nodded slightly: "What brings Miss Ying'er to me?"
Ying'er hesitated before speaking, "Lord Zhang, the princess requests your presence at Mingyue Palace."
She deliberately didn't mention which princess, but instead mentioned Mingyue Palace, intentionally using Sang Jiang to pressure him.
"Mingyue Palace?" Lord Zhang frowned slightly.
“Yes.” Ying’er nodded.
Lord Zhang hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Let's go."
Seeing his hesitation, Ying'er was afraid he would refuse her. But when she saw him nod, she felt relieved and quickly walked ahead to lead the way for Lord Zhang.
Bright Moon Palace.
When Lord Zhang walked into the courtyard, he saw Sang Jiang looking at Nangong Luoying, whose eyes were red from crying, with a headache on her face.
Upon hearing the voice, she looked at Lord Zhang as if she were seeing a savior.
Lord Zhang: ...
He then asked why he had brought her to the Bright Moon Palace.
"Your humble servant greets the two princesses." Lord Zhang bowed to the two princesses with neither servility nor arrogance.
"Get up." Sang Jiang nodded slightly.
Nangong Luoying looked at him with an arrogant expression.
Lord Zhang's gaze lingered on her face for only a second before he frowned and looked away. He then looked at Sang Jiang and asked, "What business does the princess have with me?"
"I didn't..." She was about to say "I didn't look for you" when Nangong Luoying interrupted her.
"Cough cough cough cough." Nangong Luoying coughed repeatedly and kept giving Sang Jiang meaningful glances.
Sang Jiang: ...
She glanced helplessly at Nangong Luoying and changed her words: "Of course I have something to discuss with you."
"Please speak, Princess." She had seen both of their actions, but pretended not to know.
Sang Jiang thought for a moment and finally came up with a lame excuse: "I am hungry, so I would like to ask Lord Zhang to have a meal with me."
Lord Zhang refused outright: "The princess is of noble birth, and I dare not disturb her."
"It's nothing." Sang Jiang stood up and pulled Nangong Luoying up with her: "Please, Lord Zhang!"
Lord Zhang declined again: "I have already eaten. If Your Highness has nothing else to do, I will take my leave. I am not as leisurely as the two princesses."
He was already slightly annoyed.
"Insolence!" Sang Jiang frowned. "I'm inviting you; do you dare disobey?"
