Oh, just when Ning Yujin wanted to silently delete the embarrassing memory from her mind, forget everything and start a new life, a refreshing and clear laughter suddenly came from behind her.
She turned around and saw Murong Xuan striding over. The smile on his face was hanging on the corner of his mouth before she had time to put it away.
"Mr. Murong, you are finally here!"
Ning Yujin seemed to have seen the reinforcements and ran towards him almost with tears in her eyes.
If she hadn't been concerned about the defense between men and women in this era, she would have really wanted to give him a passionate hug right now.
Murong Xuan was dressed in white clothes as clean as snow, and his fair face had the elegance of a scholar. He stepped forward, cupped his hands, and saluted Ning Yujin: "Zizhan is late, and I'm sorry for keeping Miss Ning San waiting for so long.
.”
"Haha, it's okay. Waiting for someone is good for your physical and mental health and promotes blood circulation. It's better to wait a little longer."
Murong Xuan relieved Ning Yujin's embarrassment at this moment. She looked at him with a smile, as if she were looking at a mascot, and the more she looked at him, the more pleasing she became.
However, Murong Xuan was sent a chill down his spine by her overly brilliant smile. He paused, nodded and said, "In that case, we have to wait a little longer for Third Miss. Zizhan has something to report to me first.
"
"Don't worry about me, business is important." Ning Yujin behaved very tolerantly, with a decent smile on her face from beginning to end!
As long as she is not allowed to face Mo Jingxiao alone, she will be happy to do anything he asks her to do!
"Thank you, Third Miss, for your understanding." Murong Xuan looked at Ning Yujin's open row of white teeth and felt a little alarmed.
An ancient saying goes: Women should smile without showing their teeth.
Sure enough, it makes sense!
Of course, it was impossible to really let Ning Yujin stand aside and wait dryly. Murong Xuan asked a shadow guard to take her to the small flower hall next door, and asked someone to bring tea and dried fruit snacks.
After working hard for most of the night, Ning Yujin was really hungry. When she saw the table full of exquisite snacks, her index finger moved.
She pointed to the position opposite and said to the shadow guard who was about to go out: "You can sit here."
The tall black tiger body trembled, turned around stiffly, lowered his head and said: "Miss, please feel free to enjoy it here. I have to stand outside the door to protect the safety of the lady. Don't relax."
A lesson learned from Zero One's mistakes and a lesson learned from all the shadow guards behind him, he must never make principled mistakes!
Ning Yujin blinked her eyes, looked at him cutely, and at the same time pointed at the top of her head: "You said that if an assassin lifted up the tiles and threw a hidden weapon at me from above, would it be too late for you to rush over from the door?
"
Although no stupid assassin would come to assassinate her, the shadow guard stared at the roof for a while and still stayed in the house for this weird reason.
But no matter what Ning Yujin said, he refused to sit at the same table with her.
If you don't want to sit down, don't sit down. Ning Yujin thought about it and decided to let the shadow guard squat.
"Who are you?"
"One hundred and eight."
"One hundred and eight heroes! Isn't this Prince Ding's Mansion, but Liangshan Po?"
"..." 108 was silent for a while and replied seriously, "Although I don't know where Liangshan is located, this is indeed Prince Ding's Mansion."
Ning Yujin almost stopped laughing: "I thought you shadow guards were all tough and murderous, but I didn't expect you to be so cute."
108 reached out and scratched his head, wondering whether he should interpret Ning Yujin's words as a compliment.
"There are many masters in the Shadow Guards. No matter who you choose, they are all top masters. Those like Zero One and Zero Two are ranked high in the entire Daye. When they perform missions or go to the battlefield,
, just like the lady said."
At the mention of the shadow guard, 108's entire expression changed. His eyes, full of pride, seemed to glow.
Ning Yujin didn't care how tough Mo Jingxiao's shadow guards were. The more she got to know her, the worse she felt. She simply picked up the snacks on the table and took a bite. While eating, she asked: "This snack belongs to the cook in your house."
Made?"
108 shook his head: "I don't like to eat these things, and the chefs in the mansion rarely make them. These are new products that have just been researched by the Imperial Kitchen. The Queen specially sent them over for me to try.
But I just didn’t move."
Oh, it's still something from the palace, no wonder the workmanship is so exquisite.
Ning Yujin was quite interested in the snacks coming out of the palace. She thought that when King Xing brought some snacks to Ning Yuyan from the palace, she had to show them off for a long time. Then if she ate so much, wouldn’t her tail be fine?
Gone to the sky?
Alas, it's a pity that the matter of her coming to the palace must be strictly kept secret. Even if she wants to show off, there is no way to show off.
And to be honest, the things in the palace are all about exquisite workmanship, and in terms of taste, they really can’t compare to the tea cakes in Taibai Tower.
She tasted some of it, and praised it a few times: "Hmm, this is delicious, this is not bad, it would be even better if there is a bowl of cherry wine."
108 watched her eat from the side, and then silently recorded how many pieces of each plate of snacks she had eaten, which ones she had praised and which ones she had not touched much.
The look in his eyes was so sincere and serious that Ning Yujin couldn't eat anymore. She picked up a plate of peach cake and handed it to him: "Here, eat it, and don't look at me with that pitiful look anymore.
"
It's like Xiangqiao when she's not fed. She looks at her as if she can eat.
108 lowered his head and looked at the plate, and said silently in his heart: Miss Ning San doesn't like to eat peach cakes.
Then he silently solved it for her.
Later, when Murong Xuan made a routine inquiry, he got this answer: "In reply to Mr. Ning San, Miss Ning San ate three pieces of Bazhen cake, one piece of Poria cake, and two soft-fried Yuanxiao cakes. She praised the Bergamot cake.
And snowflake cake, I hope it can be paired with cherry wine."
Finally, 108 paused and added in a low voice: "Miss Ning San likes to eat peach cakes the most, and she ate the whole plate."
"Oh? Really." Murong Xuan gave him a meaningful look, which almost made him bury his head in his chest.
Murong Xuan slowly showed a fox smile and said to him: "Okay, go to my place and tell me again what I just said."
"Tell...tell me?!" 108 was so frightened that he even stuttered when speaking.
Murong Xuan couldn't bear to hit him, so he reached out and patted his shoulder: "There is no need to say the last sentence, go ahead."
Later, every time Ning Yujin went to Prince Ding's Mansion, there would always be a large table of candied dried fruits, snacks and sweet soup waiting for her, and they were all not available outside, but this made her feel a little unhappy.
But sometimes she would also wonder: The Queen is really strange. Mo Jingxiao obviously doesn't like to eat these, so why does she still have them delivered to this mansion every day?
By the way, the empress in question was also thinking about this question: Mo Jingxiao obviously didn’t like eating these, so why did he ask her to send someone to deliver them to his mansion every day?
However, doubts only last for a moment. For Ning Yujin, eat now if you have something to eat, and don't wait until you have nothing to eat. This is the true meaning of life.
