Princess Pingyang sat in the main seat, wearing a gorgeous purple gauze dress with gold edges.
She was holding a feather fan in her hand and waving it slowly, with her fingers as red as cardamom supporting her cheek.
Qingpiaopiao looked at Ruan Mian who was about to be beaten in the corner, with only gloating in his eyes.
The nanny raised her hand high, and a gust of wind was created as she waved it, and just when it was about to hit the girl's tender cheek.
The flying knife swept in from the door and pierced through the palm of the vicious nanny's hand.
Blood immediately gushed out and she lay on the ground wailing in pain.
Everyone was trembling with fear. Who was it?!
"Your Highness is so arrogant today. It's really despicable that you brought so many people to bully a little maid."
A low and cold voice came out from Mo Yan's thin lips.
His eyes swept around like swords, and the murderous intent emanating from his body was like a knife scraping across their flesh.
Qiao Lingling was actually very scared, worried that this madman would kill her too.
But she couldn't lose her momentum no matter what, so she gripped the fan handle tightly with her fingertips.
He gritted his teeth, suppressed the fear in his heart, calmed his expression, and said with a smile.
"I just wanted to teach those vixen a lesson about respecting the superior and inferior. But the Imperial Master arrived just in time. Could it be..."
The hesitant way she spoke made it seem as if there was some ambiguous relationship between Ruan Mian and him.
The maids nearby were very smart and understood what their master meant. They rolled their eyes and started to make a fuss.
"I didn't expect that she could seduce His Majesty, and now even the Imperial Preceptor... How amazing!"
Mo Yan and the girl next to him looked as if they wanted to say something but couldn't. Anyone could tell that there was something special between them.
The man neither explained nor refuted these malicious looks.
Instead, he raised his knife and cut the metal chain around the girl's feet, then picked her up in front of everyone without any hesitation.
"Since Her Royal Highness knows, then there is no need for me to hide it any longer. I do like this little girl. Could you please move aside?"
Qiao Lingling never expected that the national teacher, who always attached great importance to reputation and etiquette, would admit it frankly.
For the sake of a maid abandoned by the emperor, he chose to endure the rumors and take her away.
The face with delicate and heavy makeup was choked and speechless for a moment, and the blush could hardly cover up the bad complexion.
"Cui Tao, make way for them."
But it’s okay this way, as the goal has been achieved.
The two of them left the palace and got into a sedan chair, which was covered with a soft wool blanket.
Mo Yan gently placed the girl on top, protecting her like the most delicate flower, not wanting her to get hurt in the slightest.
The light scent of sandalwood is refreshing and calming.
"Mianmian, are you hurt anywhere?"
The girl's long eyelashes drooped slightly, and her clear and transparent eyes stared blankly into the void, her vision unfocused.
He understood that the little girl thought she was abandoned by the emperor and could not accept this reality in a short period of time.
It doesn’t matter. I believe that in the vast river of time, one day I will occupy Lou Che’s place in her heart.
The first rays of morning light shone on the girl's cheeks, which were so white that they were almost transparent.
She slowly opened her eyes and heard the clear and melodious calls of birds on the branches of the trees behind the cabin.
The girl rubbed her misty eyes and walked to the door with her light pink feet stepping on the wooden floor.
What comes into view is the peach tree in full bloom in the yard.
Mo Yan changed out of his complicated and expensive robes and chopped wood in the coarse linen cloth worn by ordinary people.
When he rolled up his sleeves, his arms were a healthy light honey color, strong and sturdy.
A drop of sweat ran down the man's handsome face, passed through his Adam's apple, and fell into his collar, disappearing. He turned around and found Ruan Mian, who was still asleep and holding onto the door frame.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly, revealing an extremely gentle smile. When the man saw the girl's bare toes, a hint of helplessness flashed between his brows.
"Mianmian, why aren't you wearing shoes? You'll catch a cold."
The man was still muttering like a nagging old woman, but he was kneeling on one knee, holding the girl's ankle and helping her put on her boots.
"Mianmian, if you have anything you want to eat, I'll go to the market and buy it for you later."
The girl blinked her black eyelashes, casting a light shadow under her eyes.
She suspected that she had seen it wrong. When she woke up, the decisive and ruthless imperial teacher who stood on the high platform had turned into a farmer.
"We'll live here temporarily. If Mianmian doesn't like it, we can move out, okay?"
The man brought a plate of osmanthus cake and placed it on the stone table for her as a snack, while he went to repair the broken fence.
In his hands, he sharpened bamboo sticks and inserted them into the soil, forming a circle around the vegetable garden and securing them with ropes to prevent chickens, ducks, and geese from breaking in and destroying the vegetables.
After Mo Yan came back from the market, he brought Ruan Mian a little rabbit that was just one month old. She hurriedly took it and held it on her lap.
The girl was so happy that her eyebrows curved and her eyes sparkled.
When her long sleeves fell down, her slender white hands were exposed. She was holding a carrot, taking a bite herself and feeding the little rabbit a bite. She was so adorable.
There was a village not far from their yard, and there were farmers working in the fields, facing the loess and back to the sky.
After wiping the sweat off his face, he looked up and saw a girl with black hair, fair skin and a face so beautiful that she looked like a fairy from heaven.
They were stunned for a long time until the imposing man next to her glanced at them with a cold gaze, and then they looked away in embarrassment.
On a leisurely afternoon, the girl took a rest under a tree with the little rabbit in her arms and fell asleep unknowingly.
Mo Yan was sowing seeds in front of the door, wanting to plant some beautiful flowers. I think Mianmian would like them.
He was completely unaware that a snake as thick as a wrist and pitch black quietly crawled in from the hole in the corner of the wall.
Its body was covered with dense, fine scales that emitted a cold glow, and it was swaying as it approached the sleeping girl with its tongue spitting out.
The little rabbit sensed danger and started jumping around anxiously, scratching the girl's hair with its claws.
"Be good, don't make trouble."
The sleepy and weak voice continued to fall asleep after speaking.
The black snake had crawled under the wooden chair, silently following the girl's legs and drilling into the edge of the fabric.
Ruan Mian was sleeping soundly, her feet were so cold, and she felt a damp and cold touch on her soft skin.
She just thought it was the little rabbit playing around and didn't take it seriously.
It was not until the chill gradually spread to her waist that the girl opened her eyes in a daze and found that her gauze clothes were moving.
Something was hovering around my legs, and my heart suddenly jumped into my throat and I dared not breathe.
The fine scales were extremely cold and slippery. She realized it might be a snake and was too scared to move.
So scary...
How could it crawl on top of me and curl up?
