"If you like, I have as many of these mundane things as you want." Shang Beiyu's gaze slid up to Song Huilan's fairly pretty face. He reached out and brushed away the illusion on her face, revealing her beautiful and charming true appearance, accompanied by a gentle and seductive smile.
Song Huilan's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at him, her features contorted in astonishment.
My goodness, there are such good-looking people in this world!
Shang Beiyu then swept his hand down the black hood on his head, revealing his jade crown and black hair.
Song Hye-ran's eyes widened even more, and countless little stars instantly appeared in them:
He's still a man!
Shang Beiyu was very satisfied with Song Huilan's current reaction. He approached her with a faint smile, but there was no warmth in his smile.
He gently took Song Huilan's hand and pressed the crescent-shaped white stone in his hand into her palm.
The pure white inclusions within the crescent-shaped white stone flowed slowly, emitting a faint glow, but the movement was not too significant.
Shang Beiyu put away the moonstone, raised his hand and cast an illusion spell on Song Huilan, letting her temporarily immerse herself in her wonderful fantasy. He then turned to look at the masked man in black who had been guarding the corner.
The masked man in black then stepped forward and bowed respectfully to "Your Excellency".
“She is of the Yun family bloodline, but she doesn’t seem to be the person I’m looking for.” Shang Beiyu turned around and glanced at Song Huilan indifferently, and said, “However, it’s also possible that she is a mortal and her bloodline has not yet awakened. Let’s lead her into cultivation first, and see how she is after she reaches the Foundation Establishment stage. From today onwards, you will stay by her side to teach her and protect her.”
"Yes, Your Majesty," the man in black replied respectfully.
"Have you tried it with everyone else in the Song family? Is there anyone else who can make the Moonstone move?" Shang Beiyu asked calmly.
“Apart from Song Huiru, who has already entered the Ninth Prince’s Mansion, we have tried everyone else. Only Miss Song can make the Moonstone react,” the man in black replied respectfully.
Song Huiru?
Shang Beiyu raised an eyebrow and casually snapped his fingers.
Song Huilan immediately snapped out of her reverie. Seeing Shang Beiyu about to leave, she happily and shyly took two steps forward and asked, "Young Master, could you... could you tell Huilan your name?"
Shang Beiyu did not turn around. His voice was light and pleasant, sounding like heavenly music to Song Huilan: "It's better that you don't know for now. After the 8th, he will be your shadow guard. He will protect your safety. You have to listen to him."
"Alright, Huilan will listen to you, young master," Song Huilan said, looking every bit the girl experiencing her first love.
Shang Beiyu paid no attention to it and went straight to the Ninth Prince's Mansion with Xiao Jianzi.
At this moment, the lanterns were hanging high in the sky, and Song Huiru had just returned from her meditation at Ningxi Hall.
Seeing Song Huiru rubbing her lower back as she walked, Chun Tao said indignantly, "What do you mean by improper posture? In my opinion, Consort Xiao must have done it on purpose!"
“That’s right. That bandit princess keeps her door closed and anyone who goes in to invite her is beaten out. Consort Xiao takes advantage of the fact that we don’t have any background and bullies us relentlessly.” Chunxing also spoke up for Song Huiru: “Why doesn’t she bully Princess Zhaoping or Consort Jin? She only targets our Madam, Second Madam, and Sixth Madam!”
These words struck a nerve with Song Huiru.
Song Desheng's official rank was not high, and Song Huiru's background was naturally not noble either;
In this life, she cannot repeat the same mistake and cling to the Second Prince;
Marrying into the Ninth Prince's mansion means becoming the lowest of the low, someone anyone can trample on!
Song Huiru's face was as dark as the night, her eyes filled with hatred:
You old hag, how dare you be so arrogant! Let's see how many more days you have left to live!
When I come to power, I will definitely dig up your grave and whip your corpse to vent my hatred for today!
