Di Jingling found it slightly amusing.
He released her cheek and did not continue the conversation.
Xiao Tang didn't hear his response, so she pressed her advantage and hurriedly explained, "Besides, I really don't need to learn martial arts. My husband is highly skilled in martial arts and will take care of me, right?"
"Yes, Your Highness is right."
Xiao Tang: ?
[The main villain seems unusually easy to talk to lately?]
[Looks like he's in high spirits because of some good news. Could it be that he has some good news too?]
...
The Xiao residence.
Xiao Rourou sat in the courtyard and looked up at the door several times, but Mu Gucheng did not return. She became a little nervous.
She wasn't sure if things would work out...
Soon, the man in the gray robe appeared.
"Master!" she hurriedly went to greet him.
She looked at him with eyes full of affection.
She hoped the man would give her good news.
Mu Gucheng avoided her gaze and said softly, "This is what happened... I originally wanted to take her as my disciple, but she refused, and the Regent also refused to agree."
This result greatly disappointed Xiao Rourou.
Xiao Rourou stared at him in a daze.
Unbelievable!
Even the master himself couldn't do it?
What's this?
Xiao Rourou pursed her lips gently, her eyes welling up with tears. "How could this be? How could my sister be so ungrateful?"
"Rou Rou, since she refuses, we don't need to argue with her. Why are you so upset?"
Mu Gucheng couldn't bear to see this girl's eyes redden.
Her pitiful appearance made him wish he could hold her in his arms and gently kiss away her tears.
But, but he can't do that.
Because she married Di Yanhen...
"Master is right, I don't need to be sad." She gently clenched her fist, comforting her master.
He turned his head, his eyes filled with a chilling coldness.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Tang is so arrogant that she refused without hesitation.
She comforted herself, saying it was alright, there would be another way sooner or later.
By the way, Xiao Yingying will definitely resent Xiao Tang. If we make good use of Xiao Yingying's profits, everything will be much easier.
...
Xiao Tang was once again forced to attend court with the Regent.
Recently, the remnants of the Seventh Prince's faction in the imperial court have been purged, and before Xiao Tang entered the palace, she was pinned against the side of a carriage by a man.
"Now that the matter is settled, I will gift you a shop."
He leaned down, his deep voice ringing in her ear.
A cool breath sprayed all over her ears.
Xiao Tang shrank her neck slightly, even feeling a little annoyed at herself for shrinking her neck like that—it was so inappropriate!
"My lord, I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely handle it well."
Before leaving home, the villain asked her to examine and treat Lord Wei's leg ailment.
I don't know why, in this vast palace with so many imperial physicians, they specifically chose her.
"Good girl." He stroked her fair face. "Wait for me to return in this carriage."
It means that she should not be allowed to enter the palace.
Xiao Tang had originally agreed to the young emperor's request, but now she couldn't bring herself to refuse.
With her eyelashes lowered, she appeared distracted.
Just as I finished replying, my cheek was suddenly brushed twice by soft, warm lips.
Xiao Tang flinched in fright.
She was pinned against the car wall, unable to move an inch and with nowhere to retreat.
She looked up at him in horror.
He explained without changing his expression, "I bumped into it by accident."
After saying that, he let go of her and left.
It looks like it really was an "accident"?
Xiao Tang stared at his back, then slowly raised her index finger and rubbed her cheek twice.
She's incredible.
She would be willing to believe it was an accident.
But if you're talking about doing it on purpose, she thinks that's possible.
She was leaning against the carriage window, bored out of her mind, when she quickly poked her little head into the carriage and obediently sat down next to Xiao Tang.
The little guy looks so well-behaved, he's like a cutie.
Xiao Tang turned to look at the young man in plain clothes, his lips twitching slightly. "Your Majesty, how did you escape?"
At this point in time...
If I'm not mistaken, it should be during court proceedings.
Di Yanqing waved his little hand, and with a mature and solemn expression, explained, "Don't call me Your Majesty. Didn't you say you would take me out to play?"
"I'm warning you, if you dare to lie to me, you'll be committing the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
He glared at her threateningly, in a cute but fierce way.
Although Xiao Tang wasn't afraid of him, she was still left speechless by his words.
This was the first time she had ever heard of the young emperor being so threatening.
"That won't do. You have to tell me how you got out."
"You actually intend to skip court for something important?"
Di Yanqing tilted his head. "What does 'absenteeism' mean?"
A big question mark appeared on the little head.
He looked at her with eyes full of curiosity, like a curious child.
Xiao Tang coughed lightly twice, clenching his fist to his lips. "You don't need to know that, Your Majesty. Just tell me, shouldn't you go back to court?"
"If the Regent comes looking for you, you're finished."
"Besides, you have to finish your job before you can think about playing!"
She was giving earnest advice.
But to my utter surprise, the little guy didn't take it to heart at all.
He kept his head down, playing with his paws, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Xiao Tang secretly rolled her eyes.
Does this little guy even know he's an emperor?
What do we do now?
[Although I really want to elope with the little emperor... oops, no, I mean, to wander the world with the little emperor.]
