Chapter 17

After watching Mingyu leave, Mingyan slowly walked towards Yaohua Palace with Xiao Lang in her arms.

She gently stroked the little wolf's head, and seeing how well-behaved it looked, Mingyan couldn't help but feel better again:

"You're so good! You look so good-looking, so I'll call you Xiaobai."

Legend has it that the little wolves in the Nine Heavens are ferocious beasts. When they go into battle, they are as brave and good at fighting as soldiers and generals, and they are great heroes.

Hearing that the human cub, which exuded a warm breath to attract him to come closer, gave him a nice name, the little white wolf screamed happily again.

Suddenly, Mingyan bumped into someone.

"Hiss" Mingyan accidentally let go of Xiaobai and said while covering her head that was hit in pain.

Xiao Bai suddenly fell to the ground, and some doubts flashed in his wolf eyes.

"Your Highness Princess?" Before Mingyan could raise her head, a familiar and gentle voice sounded in her ears.

Mingyan rubbed her head and looked up at the young man in front of her.

"Pretty brother?" Mingyan was surprised: the boy was still wearing moon-white clothes, and his face was still handsome.

"Your Highness, you have just been offended."

Xuan Heng took a step back and saluted the stunned little breast dumpling.

"No offense, no offense!!" Mingyan wanted to stop Xuan Heng from saluting her, but she couldn't reach it because of her height.

It would be a huge mistake to let such a beautiful little brother salute you! ! !
It’s time to fight!It’s time to fight! !

At this moment, the little book boy behind Xuan Heng hurriedly followed him, panting:

"Your Highness! Your Highness! I'm late! Why did you leave so fast!"

The little book boy's suspicious eyes wandered between Xuan Heng and the little girl he had never seen before.

"Amu! Don't be rude, this is Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

As soon as the little book boy called "Amu" heard Xuanheng's reprimand, he put away his doubtful expression, bowed to Mingyan in a polite manner, and then looked at her with a teasing look. Xuan Heng.

Suddenly, the little wolf who was lying at Mingyan's feet suddenly arched his back and let out a low growl.

"Where's the little puppy!" Amu exclaimed and took a step back.

"Xiaobai, be good." Mingyan bowed and spread her hands towards the little wolf. The little wolf jumped up obediently as if its fur had been smoothed, and then nestled peacefully in the little girl's arms.

"This turns out to be the princess's pet."

Amu scratched his head and smiled sheepishly to cover up his embarrassment. As he spoke, he glanced at Xuanheng, who was standing silently in front of the little girl.

"Is Your Highness also here to hang out like Yan'er?"

Mingyan's eyes flickered and she asked the young man in front of her curiously.

"That's not the case. I have just finished school at Imperial College, and I plan to stop by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to collect my monthly quota."

Xuan Heng still spoke warmly.

"Is that so?" Mingyan frowned and thought for a long time, "Is the Ministry of Internal Affairs treating you particularly badly?"

Before Xuan Heng could deny it, Amu on the side said exaggeratedly: "That's not true. Your Royal Highness, you don't know that the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are a bunch of snobs. They look down on others and flatter everyone wherever they are favored. Our Highness has always been We study hard and don't bother to fawn over these people. The Ministry of Internal Affairs assigned us the lowest salary in Fuyun Pavilion every time."

"Amu!!" Xuanheng heard Amu vomiting bitterness and quickly stopped him.

Amu suddenly lost his voice, but his face still had a look of reluctance.

Mingyan on the side could no longer hold it in anymore. She said angrily: "This is too much! I will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to argue with them now!"

"Princess, no need." Xuan Heng quickly stretched out his hand to stop the little girl who puffed out her cheeks and huffed.

Hearing the gentle voice of the little beauty, Mingyan instantly softened like a punctured balloon.

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, her eyes lit up, she put Xiaobai in Xuanheng's hand, and reached out to rummage for something in her purse.

Xuanheng was stunned when he saw the little wolf that was suddenly thrust into his hand by the little girl.

One person and one wolf stared with big eyes.

In the end, Xiaobai failed and turned his head awkwardly.

Hum, human, I will let you go this time. If the little master hadn't stuffed me into your arms, I would have never even bothered to look at you!
Humph! !! !!
When one person and one wolf were facing each other, Mingyan also took out what she wanted from her purse.

While Xuan Heng had no hand to refuse politely, Mingyan hurriedly stuffed the things into the pretty sleeves.

"Your Highness, this is the Talisman of Peace and the chilblain ointment Sister Bihe gave me. You can use it!"

Mingyan took Xiaobai, smiled sweetly at Xuanheng, and then explained.

Xuan Heng was obviously a little stunned. He lowered his head and saw the obvious scars on his hands caused by frostbite.

"Princess, I can't do this"

Xuanheng declined quickly, but was interrupted by Amu beside him.

"Oh, Your Highness, just accept it, don't let Her Royal Highness's hard work go to waste!"

After saying that, he grabbed Xuan Heng's arm and ran away.

Xuanheng's usually steady steps were staggered by the hurried Amu.

. . . . . .

Late at night, Fuyun Pavilion.

Xuanheng, still dressed in moon-white clothes, stood in front of the window, staring at the bamboo forest in the yard in silence.

"Uncle Wen, you are here."

As soon as Xuan Heng finished speaking, a man wearing a black cloak and a bamboo hat appeared in front of the window.

"Heng'er." The man in black came in from the window, opened his bamboo hat, and placed it on the table beside him. "Heng'er, how have you been lately? Have the people in Zhou made things difficult for you? How is your health?"

Xuanheng bowed and saluted, and then said: "Uncle Wen, don't worry, everything is fine with me here."

Uncle Wen looked at Xuan Heng carefully and saw that everything was fine with him, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "Even in the Zhou Kingdom's palace, you must not forget the hatred of destroying the country."

"Yes." Xuan Heng responded.

Amu heard the sound and walked in, and also interjected: "Mr. Wen, you don't know something. Previously, you were favored by that unruly young lady of the Xiangfu. Recently, your highness was helped by the little princess of Zhou Kingdom. Your highness is very lucky. Woolen cloth."

When the man heard Amu's words, his eyes tightened and he looked at Xuan Heng nervously: "Heng'er?"

"Uncle Wen, you're just a kid. The little princess is much younger than Jing'er, so there's no need to worry."

Xuan Heng explained warmly.

"That's good." The man sat down, took a sip of the tea prepared by Amu, looked at Xuanheng in front of him with a proud look on his face and said, "Heng'er, I feel relieved to see you grow up safely."

The man stayed in Fuyun Pavilion for a while, and then hurriedly left through the window in order to prevent being discovered by the guards keeping watch in the palace.

Xuanheng watched the man leave and stood in front of the window for a long time.
