Yu Heng suddenly felt that his little thoughts had nowhere to hide, and he felt a little embarrassed, but he quickly returned to normal, and the look he gave Lan Shuang was a little different.
This princess is not simple.
Lan Shuang gave that look and turned around, leaving Yu Heng and the others with a mysterious and proud back.
Not to mention that the two maids' eyes could not be hidden from Lan Shuang, who had seen countless people, and at worst she still had the plug-in 888.
She just asked, "Who can be trusted?"
888: "The third one from the left and the fourth one from the right, one is called Zhenhan and the other is called Mianxiang. They are Ming Wang's men and have some martial arts skills. The two chosen by Yu Heng are spies sent by others."
So Lan Shuang ordered Zhenhan and Mianxiang.
But she would definitely not tell Yu Heng, so she asked him to be in awe of her.
After Lan Shuang entered, she said to Bi Qing, "Close the door and send the guests away."
Biqing bowed: "Yes."
She walked to the door and winked at Zhenhan and Mianxiang, and the two of them stood guard at the door.
Seeing the door about to close, Yu Heng quickly extended his hand: "Hey - Princess, wait a minute."
Lan Shuang sat at the table, picked up the teacup and took a sip, without even raising her eyelids: "Anything else?"
Yu Heng waved behind him, and someone immediately came forward with a tray of account books. Yu Heng smiled and said, "This is the account of the palace. Please review it, Princess."
Lan Shuang said to 888, "Look, you're testing me again. It's so tiring to talk to such a cunning person."
888: "Does the host want to see it? Since the King of Ming has the ability to rebel, he must be quite rich, right?"
"Am I such a money-hungry person?" Lan Shuang was dissatisfied and said righteously.
888 immediately apologized with a smile: "Yes, I was thinking too narrowly."
Lan Shuang looked at Yu Heng, glanced at the mountain of account books, paused, and said, "Hmm, they are so thick and there are so many of them. How much money are they worth?"
"No need for that. The palace's accounts have nothing to do with me. I'm not interested. You can continue to be in charge of whoever was in charge before. Just pay me my monthly salary on time. Now leave."
Yu Heng: “?”
Seeing that he was stunned and didn't say anything, Biqing raised her hand and closed the door.
Yu Heng: “…”
He frowned fiercely. What's wrong with this guy?
Playing hard to get?
After looking for a while without getting an answer, he turned around and waved to the others, "Disperse. From now on, serve the princess wholeheartedly and don't neglect her."
"yes."
Yu Heng strode back, planning to wait for Ming Wang to come back and have a good talk with him.
…
At this time, the Ming Wang he was talking about had just entered the palace. He was carried all the way to the harem, and was then helped down by Yu Xiao and sat in a wheelchair.
The eunuch Lu Yuan, who was waiting outside to greet them, showed pity in his eyes when he saw this.
"Your Highness, please be careful. Let me push you in, shall I?"
The Ming King said solemnly, "No need."
Yu Xiao pushed him into the hall.
The emperor and empress sat at the top, and the princes and princesses sat below. When they heard the sound of the wheelchair rolling, they all looked up.
Those gazes were of various colors, and most of them fell on Ming Wang's legs.
Ming Wang looked straight ahead, pretending not to see anything, and put on the mask again when he went out.
It is said that the King not only injured his leg in that battle, but also his face, leaving him with indelible scars, so he wore a mask to cover them up.
This further added to his terrifying reputation.
The emperor was very satisfied to see his grimacing appearance. The half-new and half-old crescent-shaped white robe wrapped around the half-dead man was a perfect match!
But he was good at putting on an act. Seeing Prince Ming coming, he quickly put on a concerned expression: "Ninth brother, you're here. You just got married yesterday, why aren't you wearing something festive?"
The Queen also agreed: "Yes, and why is only Ninth Brother here? Where is your princess?"
She also took a special look behind Ming Wang.
Ming Wang pressed his exposed lips into a straight line, and the word "unhappy" was engraved in his eyes without any concealment.
"She's sick and can't get up."
The emperor and the queen looked at each other and asked, "Are you sick?"
The King of Ming said impatiently, "Well, I thank the Emperor for granting me this marriage, but the princess is truly vulgar and I dislike her very much."
Thinking of the clean Yuanpa that the nanny had brought him before, and looking at the expression on Ming Wang's face, the emperor finally felt relieved. It seemed that he really didn't like it. That's good, that's good.
He advised earnestly, "Old Nine, she's the princess you married officially. Although she's... a little simple, she's incredibly beautiful, and her family background is a good match for you. Just be patient. With time, you might find her a good match. Feelings are built by getting along."
"Yes, a husband and wife are bound by love for a hundred days. In the future, there will be someone to take care of you and talk to you intimately. This will make the emperor and I feel at ease."
Prince Ming sneered inwardly, unable to feign affection, and simply threw in the towel: "Hmph, there is no way in my lifetime that this humble servant will fall for that country girl! Your Majesty and Empress, please stop trying to persuade me, lest we hurt our feelings."
He clenched the armrest of the wheelchair, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.
The emperor took one look and felt even more pleased. "Well, you, all right? If you're not satisfied, I'll find a few more for you later."
After that, he pulled him aside and talked a lot of words about brotherly love and respect. To outsiders who didn't know the truth, they would think that they really had a deep brotherly love.
When Prince Ming's patience reached its peak, the emperor hypocritically invited him to have a meal in the palace. Prince Ming immediately made the excuse that he had not rested well last night and wanted to go back. The emperor was "considerate" and let him go. He also rewarded him with a lot of medicinal herbs, tonics and tea, and gave Lan Shuang some silk jewelry as a token of his appreciation.
At least it has to save face.
…
Lan Shuang was originally reading a storybook. When the emperor's reward arrived like water, she lazily stood up and leaned against the door. "Who gave it to me? Your Majesty?"
Yu Xiao pushed Ming Wang in. Hearing this, Ming Wang nodded and said, "I've had your share delivered."
"Thank you."
Lan Shuang became interested and reached out to touch the material that was as shimmering as water. It felt smooth, light and cool.
"Tsk, Your Majesty is in a good mood, right?"
"Well, he also advised me to live well with you."
Ming Wang said this in an ambiguous way.
Lan Shuang raised her eyebrows: "It seems that you acted well."
Ming Wang's thin lips curled slightly: "Must-see."
Lan Shuang chuckled, "Then I'll go back home in three days and then I'll go back by myself?"
"Do you still want me to accompany you?" Ming Wang asked back.
"It's not impossible. I want to borrow the prince's power."
Lan Shuang's eyes curved with laughter, and at first glance she really looked like a fox.
"You are trying to bully others by taking advantage of the power of others... Who are you trying to scare?" There was a hint of interest in the eyes of the Ming King.
Lan Shuang's fingertips slid across the silk, her long eyelashes drooped, her red lips curled slightly, and her voice seemed to be stained with honey, sweet and pleasant. "Of course it's - my good sister who instigated me to run away from marriage."
Ming Wang looked at her steadily: "Really?"
"Your Highness doesn't believe it?" Lan Shuang's gaze slowly fell on his mask, then moved down to his thin lips, and paused as if for a moment before moving away.
"Come with me tomorrow and you'll find out."
