Chapter 441 She seems to have been fooled
Ye Jingzhen patted her little butt gently: "It's snowing outside, your shoes will get wet."
Yun Ran stopped moving after he patted her. She buried her head in his shoulder and let him carry her out of the mansion and put her steadily on the carriage.
After the two men sat in the carriage, Gao Ziyang pulled the reins and drove the carriage away.
It was very quiet in the carriage. Yun Ran was still feeling embarrassed about Ye Jingzhen slapping her butt just now. She didn't know where to look.
She simply turned her head and looked out the window. It was indeed snowing on the street. The snow was very thick, and passers-by had stepped out a series of crooked footprints.
"Ranran..." Ye Jingzhen called her softly.
Yun Ran didn't answer, but felt someone pinching the pointed bun on her head.
"You...are not angry?"
Ye Jingzhen's voice was low, different from his usual cold tone, it was soft and... milky.
It's like she's acting like a spoiled child.
Yun Ran was shocked. Brother Xiaojing...would he talk like that?
"Ranran," Ye Jingzhen called her again, his voice rather aggrieved, "If you don't like me hugging you, then I won't hug you next time. Please don't ignore me, okay?"
Yun Ran: ...
She was really helpless, so she turned around and reached out to touch Ye Jingzhen's head: "I'm not angry."
The handsome young man sitting opposite her suddenly smiled, his thin lips curled up, revealing a row of neat, white teeth.
Yun Ran suddenly felt that he had been fooled, but it was too late.
The atmosphere in the carriage was finally less tense.
Yun Ran then remembered something else. Last night in the hall, Miao Yi seemed reluctant to leave the flying bear.
Although she didn't know what she would face when Miao Yi returned to Nanlin Kingdom with King Nanlin, she inexplicably wanted to help Miao Yi get Feixiong.
Just consider it as fulfilling Miao Yi’s wish.
"Brother Xiaojing, what happened to the flying bear that King Nanlin gave to the emperor yesterday?" she asked.
"That flying bear?"
Ye Jingzhen raised his eyebrows: "He should be sent to the Zoo."
The Menagerie is where the royal family keeps all kinds of precious animals, including lions, tigers, elks and elephants.
Small, docile animals were provided for the enjoyment of concubines, princesses, and princes; large, ferocious animals were either used for fighting or released into the hunting grounds as prey when the emperor organized a hunt.
Seeing Yun Ran hesitate, he guessed, "You want to... take the flying bear and return it to Miao Yi?"
Yun Ran nodded and looked at Ye Jingzhen: "Is it okay? If it's too difficult, forget it."
"Of course," Ye Jingzhen said, "but we don't need to worry about this."
"Hmm?" Yun Ran didn't understand.
Ye Jingzhen tapped her forehead lightly with his finger and said, "Wasn't your second brother there at the time?"
Yun Ran understood now and smiled, "That's right."
The two chatted and laughed all the way, and soon arrived at Kuizhou City and stopped at the gate of Shanhai Tower.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. People coming and going on the streets are visiting each other to wish each other a happy new year. Few people come to the restaurants to eat.
Yibanlian moved a small stool and placed it at the entrance of the restaurant. She was sitting with her feet up, basking in the sun and eating melon seeds.
Yun Ran and Ye Jingzhen got out of the car and walked to the door. Yun Ran called him politely, "Master, why are you sitting outside?"
Yibanlian spat out the melon seed shells in his mouth and squinted his eyes at her: "When you get old, you should get more sun exposure to prevent your bones from becoming too brittle."
Then he looked at Ye Jingzhen who was standing beside Yun Ran without saying a word: "You little brat, now that you're a prince, you don't even say a word when you see an old man?"
Ye Jingzhen glanced at him and said, "You secretly went down the mountain without telling your master, and you stayed here with Ranran. I'm lucky I didn't tell on you."
Upon hearing this, Yibanlian rolled her eyes and stuffed the few remaining melon seeds in her hand into Ye Jingzhen's palm: "Here, those caramelized melon seeds that Jiuyue just fried. They're still warm."
Ye Jingzhen raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
"That's all I have left. I'm giving it all to you, old man." After saying that, he winked at him.
The old naughty boy's appearance made Yun Ran laugh: "Master, don't worry, Brother Xiaojing won't tell Master."
"Oh, Yunran is really considerate." Yibanlian patted the crumbs in her palm, stood up, and followed the two into the door.
As the three of them entered the lobby on the first floor, Jiu Yue came down from upstairs with a big dustpan in her hand, smiling.
Seeing the three of them, his smile widened. "Your Highness Prince Jing'an, Little Boss, you're back! I just fried some melon seeds with the caramel flavor you taught me last time. Come and try it and see how it tastes."
A lotus petal: ...
Don't do such a thing.
Fortunately, Ye Jingzhen didn't say anything and pulled Yun Ran to sit aside and eat melon seeds.
Yibanlian had nothing in his hands, not even a single melon seed left. He didn't dare go up to the two of them to get any, and looked very caught in a dilemma.
Jiu Yue couldn't bear it anymore, so she grabbed a handful of melon seeds for him and let him continue to sit at the door, eating melon seeds and basking in the sun.
On the other side, Yun Ran and Ye Jingzhen were eating melon seeds. Not long after, they saw Yun Yue running in excitedly with Honghong, a little maid from the Rong family.
As soon as she came in, her eyes locked onto Yun Ran's table. She quickly rushed over, sat down next to Yun Ran, and said, "Ran Ran, let's go to the palace together later to show our support to Third Sister!"
"To support Third Sister?" Yun Ran hadn't reacted yet.
Yunyue couldn't wait to tell the whole story. "The Queen is holding an embroidery competition in the back garden of Fengkun Palace at 3 p.m. today, and Third Sister will be attending. I received an invitation from Aunt Qiong at noon, asking us to go together to show our support to Third Sister!"
"I heard the Queen has invited quite a few people, so we must not lose the battle!"
Queen, embroidery competition, Yun Ran pondered for a moment and suddenly remembered something.
It must be the unfinished embroidery of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains of Dakang"!
"Go, I will definitely not let Third Sister lose the battle!"
She will definitely go, not only to support her third sister, but also to accompany her to complete "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains in Dakang", fulfill her mother-in-law's last wish, and send her mother-in-law back home!
The two little girls held hands together, their eyes determined.
Ye Jingzhen watched silently, and after a while, he said, "Then... shall I take you to the palace later?"
Yun Ran looked at Ye Jingzhen who was sitting opposite him, and then realized: "Ah, then didn't we go through all this trouble for nothing?"
Ye Jingzhen pursed his lips: "Isn't it because someone is asking for it back?"
"I don't know!" Yun Ran protested.
Yunyue took her hand and shook it: "Yes, Ranran doesn't know. In fact, Aunt Qiong also sent someone to deliver the invitation to Prince Jing'an's Mansion, but by the time it was delivered, you had already left, so I followed you."
"So?" Ye Jingzhen raised his eyebrows and looked at the two girls sitting opposite him who were in cahoots with each other.
"So," Yun Yue said seriously, "How can you blame Ran Ran for this? You can only blame your carriage for running too fast, little prince!"
Ye Jingzhen: ...
