Chapter 435 I Protect You
"Queen Mother, Your Highness, how about we let my Grand Master perform a flying bear show for you all?"
Unlike the aggressive demeanor when he first entered the hall, Mengraolangda was now respectful in his actions and had a humble smile on his face.
Ye Jingzhen stared at Ye Cangling and the Queen Mother, his hand already on the dust at his waist.
Although there are regulations for night banquets, no one, whether princes, nobles or generals, is allowed to enter the hall with swords.
But the dust was as flexible as cloth, and Ye Jingzhen could hide it under his belt without being noticed. Even if it was noticed, no servant dared to ask him to take off his belt for inspection.
"Well, it's rare that the King of Nanlin is so interested. I also want to see this novel performance."
The Queen Mother spoke, and Ye Cangling nodded: "Indeed. In that case, Prince Nanlin, I would like to trouble your Grand Master to show us his skills."
Mengraolangda crossed his hands, made a gesture, bowed, and then turned to look at the man in black robe standing next to his seat.
"Great Witch."
The man in black robe nodded, walked down from his seat, walked to the big iron cage, and opened the lock.
At this moment, even though they knew that the flying bear was docile and honest, the civil and military ministers and the female relatives sitting in the front row still turned pale and leaned back involuntarily, as if this would allow them to stay away from the big guy.
Mengraolangda did not return to his seat, but stood below the seats of Ye Cangling and the Queen Mother, as if standing between the two and the flying bear, forming a reliable human barrier.
But Ye Jingzhen did not let down his guard. Seeing the vigilance in his eyes, Yun Ran silently touched the dragon beard noodles wrapped around his wrist.
"Everyone, don't be nervous. The Black King is gentle now and will not attack anyone." Mengraolangda said.
Naturally, they would not attack anyone on their own initiative, but it would be a different story if someone secretly gave them an order.
Ye Jingzhen's eyes darkened.
"Brother Xiaojing..."
Suddenly, a soft and weak hum of mosquitoes and flies sounded in my ears.
"Um?"
Ye Jingzhen turned around when he heard the voice, and saw a girl's fair and pretty oval face approaching him.
Eyes as clear and bright as stars, small and moist lips without any makeup, and slightly curled eyelashes casting a small shadow on the lower eyelid.
The two were very close, and Ye Jingzhen's nose was almost touching Yun Ran's cheek.
The warm breath exhaled and sprayed on her cheeks, making her powdered cheeks hot.
Noticing the gazes from the two princesses opposite, Ye Jingzhen glanced at them coldly, raised his hand, and covered him and Yun Ran tightly with his wide sleeves.
Then, in this posture, he gently kissed Yun Ran's cheek with his thin lips, and the kiss ended immediately.
"What did you want to say?"
Yun Ran's mind was blank at this moment, and the tip of her nose was still lingering with the faint cold fragrance that belonged to Ye Jingzhen, but her cheeks were hot and her palms were covered with fine beads of sweat.
"I……"
"I want to say..."
She swallowed, took a deep breath, and recalled the idea that had been thrown out of her mind: "I want to say that if this flying bear goes crazy later, I will... protect you."
Ye Jingzhen suddenly laughed. Perhaps he was too vigilant just now, which is why the little girl saw it and said such words.
He reached out and pinched the tip of Yun Ran's red ear and whispered, "Okay."
On the other side, the great witch had already led Fei Xiong out of the cage and walked to the center of the carpeted hall.
He stood a few steps away from the flying bear and gestured to it.
Feixiong immediately supported himself with his front legs and sat down stupidly, just like he did when he was in the cage just now.
Seeing him sit down, the great wizard reached into his wide robe, rummaged around, and took out a big red apple.
He waved the apple in front of Feixiong. Feixiong seemed to be really greedy for the apple. He licked his lips with his tongue and stared at the apple with his dark eyes.
Its cute and silly actions made Ye Cangling and the Queen Mother laugh again, and many concubines and civil and military officials below also laughed together.
Listening to the laughter coming from the hall, the great wizard raised the corner of his mouth and threw the apple high into the air.
When Feixiong saw his favorite apple being thrown into the air, he immediately stepped back and jumped up. He was agile and caught the apple accurately in one bite, rolled his throat, and swallowed it.
Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect that this bear, which looked so thick and clumsy, could pick up the apple as nimbly as a dog.
Next, the great witch sped up his movements and kept throwing out big, bright red apples. The flying bear lived up to everyone's expectations and jumped up and down in the center of the hall to catch the apples, shaking all the thick flesh on its body, making everyone in the hall laugh.
After playing with the apples for a while, the witch stopped and took out a ball from his black robe. The ball was the size of a child's head.
He threw the ball directly to Feixiong, and Feixiong actually rolled over and started spinning with the ball on its four legs.
This was much more interesting than catching the apples just now, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the flying bear.
Seeing this, Mengraolangda cleared his throat and turned to Ye Cangling and said, "Your Majesty, was this flying bear show good?"
Ye Cangling watched with great interest, nodding his head repeatedly: "Beautiful!"
"Is it exciting?"
"Wonderful!"
"What a pity..." Mengraolangda sighed, "My youngest daughter has been away from the palace for a long time without permission. On this New Year's Eve, a day for family reunion, she can't see such a wonderful performance."
His voice was not loud, but Ye Cangling and the Queen and Queen Mother who were sitting on the throne heard it.
The Queen Mother's smile faded, as if her interest had been disturbed. She said somewhat listlessly, "Oh? Did the Prince of Nanlin send anyone to look for her?"
"Yes, I found it, and it is in your great country of Kang."
Ye Cangling's expression darkened: "Then... do you know where she is?"
Mengraolangda bowed and said in a clear voice, "Yes, the person I sent to look for the little princess said that he saw the little princess in a restaurant in Kuizhou City."
"Which restaurant is it?" Ye Cangling frowned, his eyebrows twisted into a knot.
Yun Ran and Ye Jingzhen had both learned martial arts and had good hearing, so they heard it clearly.
The two looked at each other, and their hearts sank suddenly.
really.
Fortunately, Miao Yi and Ka Bei had already left, otherwise it would be difficult to explain today.
"It seems to be called... Shanhailou." Mengraolangda said.
"Oh?" Ye Cangling raised his voice and his eyes fell on the seats where Ye Jingzhen and Yun Ran were sitting.
"I remember," the Queen Mother frowned and rubbed her brows, as if she was thinking, "the little princess Jingzhen was engaged to opened a restaurant. It seems...it seems to be called this."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mengraolangda turned around and looked towards where Ye Jingzhen and Yun Ran were sitting.
