Chapter 31: The Eight Desolate Divine Beasts (1)
This girl is Princess Zi Yao, the emperor's favorite. Although the emperor is just a puppet, her mother's family is very powerful, so her status among the many princes and princesses is naturally extraordinary.
"Hahaha, look who this is? Your Highness the Crown Prince, it's strange that you're not crying!" As soon as Mu Ziyao saw Wei Ning coming out, she pointed at her rudely, with undisguised contempt in her eyes.
Wei Ning glanced at her calmly, sat down on the chair calmly, and said lazily: "Sister Ziyao, the Regent just left, but he mentioned Sister Ziyao before he left."
"Oh? Mentioned me? What did you say?" Mu Ziyao asked hurriedly. She didn't doubt that the prince would lie to her at all, because the prince didn't have the courage!
“The Regent King said that Sister Zi Yao is gifted with spiritual power and has worked hard in her practice, making her stand out among the many princes and princesses. He asked me to take Sister Zi Yao as a role model. But I feel that with my talent, no matter how much I practice, I will never be able to compare to Sister Zi Yao.” Wei Ning shook his head and sighed, speaking in a serious tone.
Princess Qingtong couldn't help but look at her in surprise.
After hearing this, Mu Ziyao smiled proudly, with a suspicious blush on her cheeks.
"So the uncle thinks I'm so outstanding." She said shyly, then raised her head and said, "You are very self-aware."
"I can't help it. I just didn't expect that the Regent King admired Sister Ziyao so much."
"Of course." Mu Ziyao was overjoyed, and her tone became a little better unconsciously. "Since the emperor's uncle has left, this princess will also go back to practice. Prince, you can't waste your time."
After saying this, without waiting for Wei Ning to answer, he left with his people like a proud peacock.
Princess Qingtong then spoke up: "Ning'er, when did the Regent say that?"
Wei Ning said: "She won't ask the Regent anyway, isn't it good to send her away so easily?"
“That being said…” Princess Qingtong was naturally very happy that Mu Ziyao did not cause any trouble. However, when she thought of the regent who was as majestic as a god, who in the Qinglong Empire would dare to joke with the regent?
"Royal sister, when the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. Why think so much?" Wei Ning said casually.
Princess Qingtong could only nod and said, "Ning'er, tomorrow I will go to the White Horse Temple to pray for blessings as ordered. You must be careful by yourself. I will leave Jiu'er to take care of you."
Princess Qingtong goes to the White Horse Temple to pray for blessings several times a year on imperial orders. As a princess, she has no choice but to do these things, but she is afraid that if she leaves the prince alone, no one will help her if something happens.
When Wei Ning heard this, she thought it was exactly what she wanted. She was very interested in Xinghe's killer mission and was wondering how she could disappear for two days without anyone noticing.
Now, if Princess Qingtong goes to pray, no one from the Prince's Palace will come. Those palace maids and eunuchs can be sent away by giving them some money.
Thinking of this, Wei Ning said seriously: "Royal sister, go with peace of mind, and take Jiuer with you. Now that the envoys from Xuanwu Country are here, I believe no one will dare to mess around. The sooner you go, the sooner you will come back."
"But you are alone"
"I promise I won't cause any trouble." Wei Ning interrupted her quickly and winked at Jiuer. Jiuer naturally didn't want to stay and take care of this useless prince, so she also tried to persuade him, and finally got Princess Qingtong to leave.
