Chapter 35: Saint Girl Doesn’t Fall in Love 4

"My lady, the Saint is here."

The palace maid led Mingnan in and reported.

The palace was completely silent. Upon hearing this, the queen put down the teacup in her hand and relaxed her expression. "Quick, invite her in."

"yes."

The maids leave, and Mingnan is invited in.

The prince sitting below clenched his fist to his lips and coughed softly. Mingnan had just stepped over the threshold when he was attracted by the sound.

She raised her eyes and saw the prince looking over there as well, their eyes met defenselessly.

In an instant, Mingnan froze in place.

picture!

So similar!

【Why does he look so much like Mu Yanshan? 】

205: [It's just a coincidence, they don't look very similar. ]

Mingnan: [Don’t you think so?]

She stared at the prince, carefully examining his facial features. Judging from the outline and eyebrows alone, they were indeed not that similar.

But that kind of charm is hard to describe. The moment he raised his eyes just now, the angle was exactly the same as Mu Yanshan.

Mingnan felt as if time and space were reversed.

Maybe it was because her gaze was too scorching, but it made the prince feel uncomfortable. He frowned and his eyes looked a little strange.

Mingnan didn't have time to take a closer look, so he turned away and bowed, saying, "I pay my respects to the Empress and the Crown Prince."

The Queen said cordially, "No need to be polite. Please take a seat."

"Thank you, Queen."

Mingnan sat down opposite the prince, and their eyes inevitably met again, so she smiled at the prince in a kindly manner.

Unexpectedly, the prince suddenly asked, "Have I seen you somewhere before?"

Mingnan was suddenly startled and looked at him in confusion, "Why do you say that, Your Highness?"

The Queen looked at this and then that, and said hesitantly, "The Crown Prince has been staying in the Eastern Palace for a long time, so he should not have seen the Saint."

The prince wanted to say something, but his throat started to itch, so he turned around and coughed again.

He had not seen the sun for many years, so his skin was a sickly pale color. He coughed twice and a layer of rosy red appeared on his face, making him look more lively. His eyes, which were curved inwards and outwards, were misty, making him look harmless and pitiful.

Mingnan was absent-minded for a moment.

205 said slyly: [Host, come back to your senses. Although I am indeed beautiful, you should not stare at me like a pervert, otherwise the prince will think you are a pervert, hehe~]

Mingnan: […You are the pervert! Everyone loves beauty. Let me see what’s wrong with you.]

[The little prince is just very good-looking. ]

205: [How about comparing with the national teacher? ]

Mingnan was silent for a while this time, and it was obvious that he was very conflicted.

205 smiled proudly, [This is difficult, right?]

As a result, Mingnan said lazily: "I choose Muyan Mountain."

205: [……]

What a nasty couple, with evil hearts!

The prince relaxed, but his brows furrowed even more tightly.

He once again heard the saint's voice and the three words "Muyan Mountain".

She also said that he looked very similar to Mu Yanshan, how come he didn't know that?

Besides, who dares to have the same name as the current crown prince?

"Is the prince feeling better?" the queen asked anxiously. Looking at his expression, she really wanted to pat him on the back herself.

The prince came back to his senses and said nonchalantly, "I am not doing well, and I am sorry to have caused you to worry."

The Queen shook her head, "It is too polite for the Crown Prince to say that."

The prince smiled weakly and did not respond. Instead, he continued with the previous topic: "When the Saint came in just now, I felt that she looked familiar, as if I had seen her somewhere before."

His clear eyes revealed an indescribable sharpness, and when he looked at people, it was as if he could see through their souls.

This kind of gaze made Mingnan's heart tremble, and the sense of familiarity became stronger.

Muyan Mountain in her previous life always gave her this feeling.

She couldn't help but look for 205 to confirm again.

[Do you think it is possible that the prince is the reincarnation of Mu Yanshan? ]

205 laughed, "Host, what are you thinking about? These two are novel worlds, independent of each other and unrelated. Mu Yanshan is dead and he is not likely to appear in another novel world."

After saying this, it became a little worried again.

[Host, are you too immersed in the role and unable to come out? Do you want me to block your previous memories? ]

[No need!] Mingnan said decisively.

205 asked again: "Are you sure? If these memories affect your future missions, even if you disagree, I will force you to block them. This is not only for the mission, but also for your own good."

The system that had been joking around suddenly became powerful. Mingnan was a little uncomfortable with it, but he also knew that it was serious.

She was silent for a moment and said, "I know what I am doing. If the day comes when I can no longer bear it, I will take the initiative to find you, but before that, you cannot act on your own without my permission."

【Okay, that's a deal.】205 Temporary compromise.

Mingnan breathed a sigh of relief, and the dull pain in her heart gradually dissipated. When she faced the prince, her expression had returned to normal, "I also felt that your Highness looked familiar, maybe we are destined to be together."

The Queen's expression changed when she heard this, as if she was a little surprised, and then a calculation flashed in her eyes.

But at this moment, neither of them was thinking about her.

The prince was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Maybe. May I ask the Saint's name?"

Mingnan said, "Wu Mingnan."

"But the "Ming Nan" in 'The mountains are covered with snow, and the candles are shining in the southern sky'?"

Mingnan nodded.

The prince praised: "What a good name, it suits you very well."

Without waiting for Mingnan to say anything, he continued, "My name is Yanshan, as in 'who has nothing to do, sits in the empty mountain and enjoys his leisure time' - Yanshan."

The two words "Yanshan" came out of his mouth lightly, but the ending tone seemed to have a hook.

Mingnan's heart was instantly hooked.

Yanshan?!

*

When Mingnan came out of the Empress' Palace, he was still a little dazed.

Are there really such coincidences in this world? Not only are their mannerisms similar, but even their names are the same?

She tried to hold back, but finally couldn't help it and stepped forward to block the prince's way.

The prince was accompanied by many guards with swords. When Mingnan rushed over, he immediately drew his sword to protect the prince and shouted, "Who is it?"

Mingnan stopped in time and said in a deep voice, "It's me. I have something to say to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince alone. I wonder if His Royal Highness can make it convenient for me?"

The guards looked at each other and turned to look at the prince in the sedan chair.

The prince opened the curtain and said to the guards, "You step aside and let the Saint come over."

"Yes, Your Highness." The guard put away his knife and stepped aside.

Mingnan walked quickly to the sedan chair, opened his mouth to ask a question, but hesitated.

The prince looked at her with a smile, "Didn't the Saint have something to say? Why is there no sound now that you are here?"

Mingnan looked at him in confusion, and suddenly an idea came to his mind, and he asked, "I wonder if Your Highness likes couplets?"

The prince looked at her in surprise, "Why do you say that, Saint?"

Mingnan's face felt slightly hot, and he felt that his question sounded a bit crazy.

But there is no better way to test at the moment. If it is too direct, it may easily arouse suspicion if the other party is not willing to do so.

She pretended to be relaxed and said, "By chance a few days ago, I got an interesting couplet. The first line is: Hahahahahahaha. I thought hard but couldn't think of the second line. I heard that Your Highness is very knowledgeable, so I came to ask Your Highness, what do you think the second line should be?"
