A curved string hung high, like a sickle.。。The stars were like gemstones that dotted the black night sky. The sky had become a boundless and gorgeous satin.
On the streets, exquisite-looking lanterns were spinning. The red lanterns were hung high up, shining brightly with the stars in the sky. The night wind blew gently, the trees swayed, and the fragrance of flowers filled the air. The entire Yaosheng was bustling with people, turning into a city that never sleeps.
"Miss, are we going to play riddles?" Yin Qin looked at the crowd of people guessing riddles everywhere and heard their praises and disappointments. He couldn't help but widen his eyes and say.
Guessing riddles?
Leng Wanwan sat on the tall guard's shoulder and looked coldly at the lanterns with riddles pasted on them. Many men and women, old and young, were either frowning in deep thought or smiling confidently. It looked very lively, but she found it very boring.
"No." Leng Wanwan said coldly, looking at Yin Qin's expectant expression turning into disappointment.
"Then, shall we go and light the lanterns?" Yin Qin suggested again. Today was the annual lantern festival. What else could he do when he was out to play? However, she had obviously forgotten that her young miss was not an ordinary person. Naturally, she was not interested in these ordinary things.
"No."
"Then Miss…"
"Someone is snatching something." A mournful shout interrupted the sound of the zither.
Leng Wanwan and the others looked over and saw a middle-aged woman chasing after a young man and shouting. The middle-aged woman named Ziyun had a high bun and a pearl hairpin on her head. She was wearing an embroidered white dress and a long dress that dragged the ground. There was a ribbon around her waist, giving off a sense of magnificence. It was just that her face was covered in heavy makeup, which was really terrifying. It was probably a rich lady who was alone and had been targeted by a thief.
"Move aside, move aside." The man held the bag in one hand and brandished a knife with a cold glint in the other as he charged forward.
The originally lively crowd was shocked by the sudden scene in front of them. Then, when they saw the young man wielding the saber, not only did they not dare to go up and help, but they all dodged far away, afraid of being affected.
The corner of Leng Wanwan's mouth curled up. It turned out that no matter whether it was in modern times or ancient times, most people were afraid of trouble. It was not that there were no people who did good deeds, but there were pitifully few.
"Miss, he's charging towards us.”Yin Qin was shocked when he saw the man wielding a knife and rushing towards them.
"You two, take Yinqin away." Leng Wanwan raised her eyebrows and looked coldly at the fierce robber. Very good. Now that she was bored, he had come to her doorstep.
"Miss, we were sent by the general to protect you.”The two guards who were called looked at Leng Wanwan awkwardly.
"The general sent you to me, so I am your master. Don't tell me you dare to disobey my master's orders?”Leng Wanwan raised her small eyebrows and looked at the two of them sideways.
The two of them felt a chill run down their spines when she looked at them. Oh my god, why did this little master make them feel more afraid than the general? The two of them looked at each other and said in a trembling voice,
"I, I dare not."
"Then why aren't you taking her away? If anything happens to Yinqin, I won't forgive you.”Leng Wanwan said coldly. The key was that Yinqin was sometimes as long-winded as an auntie. She didn't want Yinqin to spoil her fun.
"Yes." The two of them answered and quickly pulled Yin Qin to the side.
"Miss, what are you doing?" Yin Qin was suddenly pulled away, and Leng Wanwan couldn't figure out what she wanted to do.
Leng Wanwan glanced at her. Yin Qin felt as if she was frozen by ice. She obediently shut her mouth and quietly stood at the side. The consequences of angering Miss were severe.
"Put me down." Leng Wanwan said to the big guard captain who was holding her.
The head guard gently placed Leng Wanwan on the ground. This powerful little master was the General's darling. Everyone knew that they could offend anyone but her. He wasn't as naive as the other two guards. Little Master's might was something that even they couldn't compare to.
"Step aside." She waved her small hand at the guard.
"Yes." The tall guard obediently retreated to the side. When he saw the other guards 'puzzled gazes, he only nodded.
"Move aside-"
The robber charged towards Leng Wanwan with a knife in his hand, but he saw the little girl standing there without moving. Dumbfounded, he wanted to stop, but he couldn't stop immediately.
The others watched in horror as the man rushed towards the little girl. Some of them couldn't bear to see the bloody scene that followed and closed their eyes.
Leng Wanwan had a half-smile on her face. Her black eyes were exceptionally dazzling under the starlight, like black gemstones flickering with brilliant light. He held the silver bell in his right hand. As her hands moved, the crisp sound of a bell rang. Under the starry sky, this solemn atmosphere was exceptionally strange.
Everyone was stunned as they looked at the little child. He thought to himself that there was nothing wrong with this girl. She actually didn't dodge and instead played with the ringtone.
The thief's small eyes were also stunned, but his body charged straight at her.
"Ah!"
Some timid women were already screaming in fear, afraid that the beautiful child would die in the hands of the ferocious young man.
Leng Wanwan narrowed her eyes and was about to attack. An even faster white figure flashed past in front of her, and the white-robed man's long legs kicked out beautifully. The thief was thrown away like a parabola. Dong, he fell to the ground with a loud sound.
"Little girl, are you alright?" The man in white turned around and looked at Leng Wanwan, his voice magnetic and gentle. Like a cello, the hearts of the young women present could not help but tremble.
"What a handsome young master."
"What beautiful skills."
“……”
Some of the bolder women couldn't help but whisper to each other as they looked at the white-robed man. The more reserved daughter of a humble family blushed as her eyes flickered.
Leng Wanwan's clear eyes were like clear water as she looked at the man who had saved her in the eyes of others. He looked like he was about seventeen or eighteen years old. In her eyes, he could not be considered a man. At most, he was a big boy. However, even Leng Wanwan, who had seen many handsome men, could not help but praise his handsomeness. His facial features seemed to be meticulously carved, his eyebrows were like swords, and his eyes were like stars, flickering with a bright and gentle light. Dressed in a white robe, his hair was tied up with a jade hairpin. He looked like an immortal who had descended from the sky.
However, she would not forgive him for disturbing her rare mood just because of his good looks, nor would she thank him because he had done something unnecessary. She curled her lips and looked at him with her delicate little face. Her big eyes did not blink, and she did not look scared at all.
"Of course I'm fine."
The white-robed man was stunned for a moment. Clearly, he did not expect the little girl to have such a reaction. His star-like eyes sized up the girl seriously. She was not even as tall as his waist. She was dressed in a pink dress, and her face was small and delicate. A pair of clear black and white eyes flickered with a bright light, as if the stars in the sky had fallen into her eyes. Although she had her hair combed into a bun like an ordinary child, with beads hanging from her hair. However, there was a maturity that was not like a child. When the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, she revealed a half-smile. It was as if she was facing a young girl with an extremely unique personality, not a little girl. Due to the environment they grew up in, there were many children in the family who matured early. However, they were old and solemn, but they did not have the disdain and coldness of the girl in front of them. What kind of environment could make this girl become like this? He could not help but guess in his heart. He thought of his equally cold brother and looked at the girl in front of him. There should be a kind of loneliness behind them that could not be close to others. He squatted down with some heartache and looked at the little girl's cold eyes.
"Little girl, are you really alright?" He stretched out his well-defined hands, wanting to pick up this heart-wrenching little thing.
"Of course I'm fine." Leng Wanwan furrowed her delicate eyebrows. Was this young man so gentle that he had nowhere to go? What did the heartache in his eyes mean? Was he in such a terrible state? She moved her body slightly and dodged his outstretched arms.
Yinqin and the guards were dumbfounded. Was that young master stupid? He really couldn't see Miss's coldness. It was strange. Other than the general, there was actually someone who would treat Miss so gently.
"Miss, are you alright?" Yin Qin couldn't stand it anymore and quickly ran up. Her gaze met the white-robed man's. Wow, what a gentle and handsome young master. She only felt her heart thumping, as if a warm current had flowed into her heart. It was warm and comfortable. This young master was even more irresistible than the handsome white-robed young master they had met earlier. When they met his gentle expression, it was as if they had fallen into a pool of sweet water, and their entire bodies had melted.
Leng Wanwan saw Yinqin's infatuated look and couldn't help but roll her eyes. The corners of her mouth curled up, and she thought evilly that if she continued to nag, she would directly bring a handsome man in front of her.
"Let's go." The tender voice carried a cold and dignified air, which made Yinqin snap out of her infatuated state. She smiled awkwardly at Leng Wanwan.
"Yes." Yin Qin waved at the guards.
"King Zhou?" The head guard walked up to him and took a look. The man in white was the gentle brother of the current emperor, Prince Zhou. He immediately led the other guards to kneel." Greetings, King Zhou."”
When the surrounding people heard that this white-robed man was a prince, they all knelt down. Heavens, those women were even more flirtatious. She didn't expect such a handsome man to be his highness. If she could be chosen by him and marry into his highness, then she would become a phoenix.
"Everyone, there's no need to be so polite. Today is the annual Lantern Festival. Everyone, enjoy yourselves and don't mind my appearance.”Xuanyuan Zhou waved at the people and said gently.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Everyone stood up. Naturally, they did not dare to look at him again, lest they anger him.
Xuanyuan Zhou smiled in satisfaction when he saw that everyone had started to move around. Then, he looked at the tall man kneeling down and thought for a moment. Then, he smiled and said,
"You're General Leng's personal guard, right?”
"Yes, Your Highness. This subordinate is Wang Kui." When the guard captain heard that Xuanyuan Zhou actually remembered him after meeting him a few times, his heart trembled with excitement.
"Wang Kui, why aren't you by General Leng's side?”Xuanyuan Zhou looked around and did not see Leng Peiran. He felt that it was a little strange.
"This subordinate is under the general's orders to protect young miss.”Wang Kui replied.
"Miss?" Xuanyuan Zhou looked at Leng Wanwan in confusion. Was she General Leng's daughter? Didn't General Leng only have Leng Yue 'er as his only daughter? Why was the little girl in front of him also General Leng's daughter?
"You are Xuanyuan Zhou." Leng Wanwan stopped in her tracks and looked at him again. So he was the Brother Zhou that Leng Yue 'er mentioned. She didn't expect him to be such a gentle person. In modern terms, he was a typical Prince Charming. He didn't expect Leng Yue 'er's eyes to be so good. However, he was afraid that it was a pitiful one-sided love.
"Miss-"
Yinqin and the guard were shocked. The young miss actually called his highness by his name. Wasn't this disrespectful? The few of them knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up.
"Yes." Xuanyuan Zhou smiled gently and didn't blame Leng Wanwan.
"My name is Leng Wanwan." Leng Wanwan lowered her head." I'm very interested in you.”She looked at him with her big eyes and said bluntly.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
Everyone was stunned. What, what did this mean?
Xuanyuan Zhou's gentle expression froze as he looked at the little one in a daze.
What did she mean?
