Jing Zhong didn't speak, but the man beside him continued, "Judging from the waist tag on that maid, she seems to be a maid from the Prince Jin's mansion. And the one wearing the bamboo hat, could she be Princess Wan Ge?"
When the words "Wange" were uttered, Jingzhong's eyes darkened, and his hands, hanging at his sides, unconsciously clenched.
At that moment, the man beside him shook his fan and said calmly, "Go, don't let them harm the princess."
No sooner had she finished speaking than several men in black appeared where Wan Ge was, easily knocking the others unconscious. They then vanished without a trace.
Looking at the person lying in front of her, Wan Ge clearly knew that the system's plan had failed. But to be honest, she wasn't disappointed at all; on the contrary, she felt relieved.
He almost wished that Jing Zhong would be a little harsher on her now, so that he wouldn't feel so guilty when she acted like a jerk.
…
"Little Princess, it's been a long time." Xie Nanyan put away his fan, his eyes sparkling with laughter, still maintaining his carefree demeanor.
However, Xie Nanyan, who is one of the close friends of Jing Zhong in the original story, is actually a very shrewd and calculating person. Xie Nanyan's great-grandfather won the throne with the founding emperor, and the Xie family produced many talented people. As a result, the royal family became increasingly wary of the Xie family, and by Xie Nanyan's generation, they clearly felt threatened.
To survive, Xie Nanyan was later forced to rebel. However, he was a wise ruler; the fate of the world was such that Wan Ge never considered changing it.
As for the present moment, he said, "I thank you, Young Marquis, for saving my life."
Upon hearing this, Xie Nanyan raised an eyebrow and then said, "It is said that a life-saving grace should be repaid with one's body. Would the young princess like to consider it?"
Xie Nanyan may appear to be a playboy, but he is actually a very affectionate person whose heart is already filled with his childhood sweetheart.
Since the other party had made such a joke, Wan Ge naturally wouldn't back down: "Young Marquis is, after all, the most handsome man in the capital, and he's incredibly wealthy. Marrying him wouldn't be a bad deal. I just don't know if Sister Qing would mind."
"Oh dear, no, no, no... If that little brat finds out, it will be even harder for me to marry her. I was just joking with the princess, please don't mind."
It was common knowledge that Xie Nanyan was in love with the eldest daughter of the Vice Minister's family. However, the fact that this unrestrained and philandering man openly expressed his affections raised questions within the royal family.
Normally, one would think that if Xie Nanyan truly loved her, he wouldn't have pushed her into the limelight. He wouldn't have let anyone know his vulnerability.
He pushed her out too early, so early that it's hard to believe he truly loves Miss Qing.
[Jing Zhong's favorability -10, current favorability is 5.]
When Wan Ge heard the system's report on the favorability rating, she was utterly shocked. "Wait a minute, Ruan Ruan, wasn't it only 8 yesterday? How come it's still 5 after subtracting 10?"
Ruan Ruan replied softly, "After you fell asleep yesterday, the male lead raised your favorability rating to 15."
But now... it's back to five points. The initial value was 10, why is it decreasing the more I try to win over the player?
Wan Ge turned her gaze to Jing Zhong and then asked, "Young General, what brings you out with the Young Marquis today?"
Jing Zhong didn't speak, so Xie Nanyan answered: "I heard that Hongyuezhai has launched new dishes, and everyone who has tried them raves about them. So I dragged the young general here to try Hongyuezhai's new dishes. Since we're so lucky, would the princess like to join us?"
