Xiaojunmeishan, the back mountain of Lianxi Temple, after listening to the factory guard's words, a rare coldness appeared on Cheng Ying's handsome and feminine face, and his narrow and treacherous phoenix eyes were filled with anger. He crushed the teacup at hand, raised a cold arc at the corner of his lips, and spit out the name "Zhu Yu" from the tip of his tongue.
The factory guard shuddered all over, lowered his head and dared not breathe loudly, waiting quietly for Cheng Ying's instructions.
Cheng Ying turned around and looked at Emperor Mingzheng, who was chatting and laughing happily with Mei Shu in the thatched pavilion in the courtyard not far away. The curve of his lips deepened and he walked over.
Emperor Mingzheng was wearing a dark yellow casual dress. He looked like a master from a scholarly family. He looked at Meishu gently while she was holding the rabbit. "It's bitterly cold in the mountains. There's an enclosure next to it. Wild beasts always come out during the autumn hunting season. It's really dangerous for a weak woman like you to live here alone."
Mei Shu gently stroked the snow-white fur of the rabbit in her arms. Her slender neck, as white and tender as cream, was slightly bent. She opened her lips and said, "My parents are both dead. I am like a floating duckweed in this world. Although my life in seclusion in the mountains is a little hard, it also saves me from many troubles."
Her voice is soft and gentle, and it sounds like a spring breeze, the gurgling of a fountain, and the melodious sound of jade.
Emperor Mingzheng looked at her face, which was the most beautiful in the world and looked like a fairy in a painting. He understood what Meishu had not said. Such a beautiful face would indeed attract people's covetousness and cause many troubles.
"With these rabbits keeping me company, I'm not too bored." Meishu curled up the corners of her lips and revealed a faint smile.
This smile was indeed three times more beautiful than that of Xi Shi. Emperor Mingzheng's throat was slightly dry. It was such a waste of talent to hide such a beauty in the mountains.
Emperor Mingzheng almost didn't think twice, and his voice became gentler, "I... Can I take you home? Once you go to my house, no one in this world will dare to bully you anymore. If anyone dares to make you unhappy, I will kill him!"
"Master, are you going to take Meishu home?" Meishu raised her eyes and met the sight of Emperor Mingzheng. Her face turned slightly red, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were like deer pupils, full of a girl's shyness, and very touching.
But in a moment, she looked away and bit her teeth, "I just met you by chance, how can I go to your house? I'm afraid it's... inappropriate."
Emperor Mingzheng could see that she wanted to go with him. A beautiful woman's shyness and her tears can easily make a man fall in love with her.
Emperor Mingzheng extended his hand to Meishu's soft and boneless fingers, and promised in a gentle voice, "If you are willing, I will let you enter the house with a legitimate reason. Don't worry, no one will say anything. Life in the mountains is lonely and hard. In my house, there is a warm heating in winter and endless ice in summer. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all taken care of by servants. I will never let you suffer the slightest grievance."
Meishu shyly pulled her hand away, but Emperor Mingzheng held it even tighter. Her neck also turned red, and her skin, which was originally as white as snow, was now tinted with pink and extremely beautiful.
Her long eyelashes fluttered as she looked at Emperor Mingzheng shyly and asked softly, "Master...will you really treat me well?"
Emperor Mingzheng had never drunk any alcohol, but he felt that he was a little drunk, intoxicated by the beauty.
He smiled and said, "Don't joke."
Seeing Cheng Ying coming over, Mei Shu stood up holding the rabbit in her arms. She looked at Emperor Mingzheng with spring water in her eyes and smiled shyly, "Let me think about it again."
Then he went into the house.
Emperor Mingzheng followed her graceful figure with his eyes, and felt very moved, and laughed heartily.
Seeing Cheng Ying coming over, he smiled and said, "You brought me to a good place today!"
Cheng Ying also laughed, but the smile did not reach her eyes, "As soon as you left the palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince caused a great scene."
