Chapter 464: Long Time No See
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Rong Yan had never thought that he would be disappointed so many times that he did not dare to think about unrealistic things.
“Little Big Brother, did you see your mother in your dream?”
“No…”
Speaking of which, it was strange that he didn’t see Noble Consort Ji even on the day he ascended the throne in his dream. Not to mention seeing her, no one around him mentioned her in his dream.
Something was indeed wrong.
Xiaoxiao said, “Let’s go see her.”
“I hate stories that don’t make things clear and cause misunderstandings. We have to talk.”
Xiaoxiao smiled. “However, we have to ask in another way.”
When the Crown Princess Consort gave birth to a son, the Empress organized a 100-day banquet and invited almost all the high-ranking officials and nobility on that day. As the princess who had been in the limelight recently, Xiaoxiao was also invited.
She had not planned to go, but now she changed her mind.
But before she went, she and Rong Yan had another important thing to do.
If there was anything Rong Yan’s guards were dissatisfied with these days, it was that their Master’s whereabouts were becoming more and more mysterious. He often disappeared after playing with Miss Xiao.
Although they usually did not disappear for long, this really frustrated them.
They had undergone strict training since they were young and were personally trained by General Xiao. Wouldn’t it be the biggest joke in the world if they couldn’t even find their Master?
However, from another perspective, Master’s martial arts had improved by leaps and bounds. It had actually reached the point where he could hide his whereabouts from them. This was also an incomparably proud thing.
If the guards were irritated and proud at the same time, then as a secret guard, he was experiencing pure pain.
Ever since he was chosen as a guard when he was young, he knew that he had a different mission from others. He had to be top-notch in everything and be proficient in everything. Among them, tracking and hiding were the most important.
But!
He couldn’t find Master either!
Sometimes, Master would disappear after bypassing a tree!
Now, not to mention sending news back to the residence, he often needed to find Master through Miss. Where would his dignity as a secret guard go?
Just as he was feeling depressed, he heard Master and Mistress, who had not yet “disappeared” today, chatting.
Xiaoxiao said, “I rummaged through the storeroom and felt that there’s nothing suitable for the Emperor’s eldest grandson. Why don’t I give him this jade pendant?”
The secret guard widened his eyes. He saw that Xiaoxiao had placed a token that was more important than her life on the table.
Then, Master doted on her as usual. “Alright, we’ll do as you say.”
What the hell was going on? That was a gift from the Noble Consort! It had been with you since you were borned! You had to hug it to fall asleep when you were young. When you grew up, you always carried it with you until you met a girl. It was an important blessed jade pendant!
More importantly, this thing…
The secret guard was so anxious that his heart was pounding. It was not easy for him to wait for the two of them to finish chatting and say that they wanted to go into the house to get their things. He gritted his teeth and darted out of his hiding place. He took the things on the table and was about to run.
Even if the Masters thought that a thief had entered the residence, even if their abilities were questioned, they could not lose this jade pendant!
Not to mention giving it to the Crown Prince.
Ah, wait a minute. Even if Master was henpecked and listened to everything Mistress said, his relationship with the Crown Prince was not to the point of needing to give him personal items… right?
The scenery in front of him suddenly blurred. The secret guard felt his body sink and he fell from the tree with a clang.
Xiaoxiao, who had a strange smile, squatted in front of him and poked him with a tree branch.
“Do you feel dizzy and weak?”
That’s right. The secret guard didn’t even have the strength to nod or shake his head.
Rong Yan also walked forward, his footsteps so firm that the secret guard’s head was buzzing.
No, no, no! Don’t come any closer!
However, today’s game was obviously set up for him. Rong Yan took off his mask without stopping.
The secret guard clearly heard him say, “Long time no see, Yun Yi.”
The secret guard, Yun Yi, lowered his head and quickly calculated how to explain his identity at this moment.
Or could it be that the real secret guard had been killed by him and he had snuck over to steal something?
It just so happened that the Noble Consort wanted him to find an opportunity to let Master know the secret of the jade pendant in the future. Today was a good opportunity!
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Xiaoxiao say, “You were the one who shot the fake me when he fought Xiongnu back then, right?”
Yun Yi’s pupils were constricted. Did she know so early?
Xiaoxiao continued to scare him. “Why do you think Little Big Brother always disappears in front of you? Is he hiding from you?”
“He naturally discovered your identity long ago.”
Yun Yi was speechless.
Seeing that he chose not to cooperate, Xiaoxiao was not anxious.
“It’s fine. He’s loyal. Let’s go find the main character first. It’s just a matter of order.”
On the day of the banquet, even the people from the Crown Prince’s residence were very surprised that Xiaoxiao would actually come. After the flower appreciation banquet held by the empress last time, Xiao Ran, ah no, General Xiao, rushed to the door with her guards and said that the princess fell ill after returning. After the doctor saw her, he said that she ate the wrong thing.
General Xiao was furious. She led the guards to carry the servants who had gone out to shop. As they beat them up, they reported their names. What made people break out in cold sweat was that those people were all involved in harming the princess. None of them were missed out.
Clearly, General Xiao had already found out that someone at the banquet had ulterior motives towards the princess. She had even taken His Majesty’s handwritten order. They would not rest until the Crown Prince’s Residence handed them over.
That day, more than 20 servants were beaten up by General Xiao. His Majesty grounded the Empress for a month and even hinted that no one could force Princess An’ning to attend any banquets in the future if she was unwilling.
Everyone had thought that they would never see Princess An’ning visit again unless the day when the Crown Prince became the Emperor. Unexpectedly…
The beating from before was still fresh in their minds. The servants welcomed Xiaoxiao in fear as they hurriedly spread the news.
The Empress and Crown Princess Consort frowned when they heard the name, but at the same time, they felt quite proud.
“Look, so what if she has Xiao Ran’s support? At the critical moment, she still has to tuck her tail between her legs to please me.”
The Empress asked someone to bring Xiaoxiao over. “I heard that Princess wants to see our Yuxuan?”
Xiaoxiao nodded. “I heard that the eldest son of the Crown Princess Consort is very beautiful and I am very curious.”
Since she spoke sweetly, the Empress and Crown Princess Consort also smiled and brought the baby to her.
Noble Consort Ji was still sitting at the side drinking tea. She only gave some reactions when the Empress spoke to her, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.
Xiaoxiao really felt that this child was good-looking. She teased, “Your Majesty, can I borrow someone to get something from my carriage?”
“I left the gift for the eldest grandson in the carriage.”
She said, “It’s a mahogany box with a Qilin jade pendant inside.”
Noble Consort Ji’s hand that was pouring tea unconsciously paused..
