The person who came ran straight towards Tang Yin and Cheng Jin. The latter did not know why, but he subconsciously reached for the blade on his waist and stepped in front of Tang Yin to block, as if he was going to pull out the blade.
But when Cheng Jin saw the appearance of the person, he loosened his grip on the blade and quickly retreated back to Tang Yin's side.
Tang Yin stood where he was and did not move, he only looked at the approaching person curiously.
Tang Yin thought that she was probably not even 1.4m yet. Looking at his face, he looked really pretty and delicate, with long hair, tender skin, and big eyes, like a doll.
He had never seen this little girl before, nor did he have any impression of her. He thought that she might be a servant girl from the Prince's Mansion, but judging from her clothes, the texture of the silk, the fine workmanship, and the gorgeous style ? those were definitely not things an ordinary maid could wear.
Strange, who is this little girl? Tang Yin was baffled.
The little girl who ran out from the arched door evidently did not expect to meet strangers, as she hurriedly stopped in her tracks, her big furry eyes sweeping over Tang Yin and Cheng Jin's bodies, and the melodious bell sounds also stopped abruptly.
"Who are you?"
Tang Yin and the little girl asked at the same time.
At this moment, the sounds of hurried footsteps could be heard. Two maids around the age of eighteen or nineteen came running out of the arch with skirts held high. They gasped for breath as they ran, "Little princess, don't run anymore ?"
Outside the arch, the two servants saw Tang Yin at the same time, their shouts were stuck in their throats, unable to shout out anymore.
After standing there for a few seconds, the two girls panicked and knelt down, bowed their heads and said: "King!"
Little Princess? What little princess? Tang Yin was even more suspicious as he turned his head to look at Cheng Jin with a questioning look.
The latter neared and said in a low voice, "Great King, this is the princess of Mo Country, Shao Xuan!"
"What?" Hearing that, Tang Yin's eyes first fiercely widened, then narrowed, once again sizing up the little girl in front of him.
When Shao Xuan was sent to the Duke Palace, Tang Yin was in the palace, but he did not see her. After returning to the palace, someone reported to him, but Tang Yin did not take it to heart, as the past few days had been very busy, so Tang Yin had quickly forgotten about it. If he had not met Shao Xuan today, he would not have been able to remember that there was someone like Shao Xuan in the Duke Palace.
In Tang Yin's impression, Shao Fang was already in his early thirties. His sister was at least twenty years old, but he had never thought that Shao Xuan was only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. Why did Shao Fang still betroth her to him and send her to Feng Country? Could it be that 'paedophilia' was written all over his face?
He took a few steps forward, approached the little girl, and looked down at her.
She's so small! Tang Yin was naturally tall, and the little girl was short. When the two stood together, she was only slightly taller than Tang Yin's navel.
"You ? "Was it Shao Xuan?" Tang Yin asked uncertainly.
"Yes!" The little girl nodded, she raised her head and met Tang Yin's gaze, and asked back: "And who are you?"
"Tang Yin." Tang Yin stated his name, and continued to ask: "How old are you?"
"Fourteen." Then, she rubbed her neck and took two steps back, making it easier for her to clearly see Tang Yin's appearance. After sizing him up from head to toe, she muttered in a low voice, "So you are Tang Yin, the husband that Royal Brother wanted me to marry."
"Pu!" Hearing her say the word 'husband', Tang Yin almost vomited blood. Before he could say anything, the little girl made a strange tsk-tsk sound again, his cheeks puffed up, and muttered in dissatisfaction: "It's alright, why are you so tall? I can barely see your face. "
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, suspecting that he had heard wrongly. Was this what a princess of a nation could say? He even made a strange tsk-tsk sound, completely uncultured.
He took a deep breath, pointed at Shao Xuan, and said while tilting his head, "Cheng Jin, send someone to take her back to the Mo Country immediately. The Duke Palaces do not need children, and I do not like to see children!" Finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
Shao Xuan shouted angrily, "Stop!"
Tang Yin initially wanted to ignore her, but he was very curious in his heart why she was so bold, he was obviously a princess, Yan Yinghan had always been submissive in front of him, yet this little girl dared to shout at him, especially at the age of fourteen.
He stopped and looked back at her.
Shao Xuan strode in front of him like a lady. As she poked Tang Yin's chest with his white fingers, she said angrily, "Royal Brother has already married me to you. What is the meaning of sending me back now? How am I going to meet people in the future? Even if I want to return home, I should be the one who suggested it, not you! "
Why is it so hard? She poked Tang Yin's chest and muttered in her heart: Why does he look like he was made of stone!
Seeing how satisfied the little girl was poking his body, Tang Yin felt both annoyed and amused. He looked down at her swaying head and shook his head helplessly.
"I don't care!" Tang Yin shrugged, went around the small person in front of him and continued to walk out.
"Hey!" "Hey ? ?" Shao Xuan looked at Tang Yin's back as he walked further and further away, and shouted continuously from behind. However, no matter how she shouted, Tang Yin didn't react at all. The little girl was so angry that he picked up a rock from the ground and fiercely threw it at Tang Yin.
"Princess ?"
The two maidservants behind her couldn't stop her in time and were frightened to the point where their faces turned pale and their bodies trembled.
Tang Yin, who was walking out, did not even turn his head back as he casually waved his arm behind him to knock away the stone that was flying towards the back of his head. Then, he once again said to Cheng Jin, "Immediately return to the Mo Country! "Immediately!"
Cheng Jin had a troubled expression on his face as he said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, isn't sending Princess Shao Xuan back to the Mo Country just like this a little too heartless? Let alone the princess, even the King Mo would not be able to take it ? I'm afraid I won't be able to get off the stage either! "
Tang Yin tilted her head and glanced at him, and just as he was about to berate him, he thought that what he said wasn't unreasonable. Right now, the Feng Country And Mo Country had just been allied with each other and they were about to use troops against Ning Xuemo. It was indeed a little inappropriate to retreat back to the Mo Country Princess at this time.
Whoosh! He sighed, how could Shao Fang send a princess, it was simply troublesome!
Cheng Jin rolled his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about this matter. Let Princess Shao Xuan stay in the Duke Palace for a period of time, and after a few days, with the princess being young and homesick as the reason, sending her back to the Mo Country. When she grows up, it'll be a few years later, and Shao Fang would not be able to remember whether or not this engagement is certain."
"Hm!" "Makes sense." Hearing Cheng Jin's words, Tang Yin's heart became a lot more at ease. He smiled slightly and said: "I'll do as you say!"
Tang Yin accepted Cheng Jin's suggestion and did not immediately send Shao Xuan back to Mo Country. However, he quickly regretted his decision ?
That night, Tang Yin went to Guo Tong's Right Prime Minister Palace for a feast.
Guo Tong's Right Prime Minister Palace was a new house, and it was located in a more remote location. The houses in the center of the Yan City were already occupied by the officials of the Feng Country, and although the officials of the imperial government brought a lot of money with them when they fled with Yin Zhun, they could only purchase houses and land at the edge of the city.
After knowing that Tang Yin had already arrived outside the Palace, Guo Tong came out with his son, Guo Yu, to welcome him.
After meeting, Guo Tong and Guo Yu, the father and son pair bowed towards Tang Yin.
Tang Yin waved his hand as he smiled and chatted with the two of them for a while. Then, he walked into the residence.
Although he seemed to be laughing on the surface, in reality, he did not have a good impression of this father and son duo. It was just that he needed someone of authority to speak up for him at the imperial palace. Guo Tong was undoubtedly the best choice.
As they walked into the hall, Guo Tong apologised to Tang Yin: "Feng King, this old official just bought the Residence of Prime Minister not long ago. The place is a little small, and the place is a little too far from the ground.
His words sounded like he was apologizing to Tang Yin, but there were hidden meanings behind his words.
Tang Yin was clever, he understood what he meant immediately. He said with a faint smile, "Prime Minister Guo is the Nearest Minister of the Emperor, so it would be inconvenient for him to stay in such a remote place."
"Yes, yes!" Guo Tong immediately followed suit and responded.
"How about this! Tomorrow, I will choose a house in the vicinity of the palace and help Prime Minister Guo change it. " Tang Yin said indifferently.
"Aiya!" Hearing this, Guo Tong was both surprised and happy. He stopped and bowed to Tang Yin, saying respectfully: "This old one thanks Feng King for your kindness, and is truly grateful."
"Ha ha!" Tang Yin smiled, held Guo Tong's arm and helped him up, saying, "This king will help you, and naturally, I hope that Prime Minister Guo can help this king again. In the future, when you are in front of your majesty, you must speak up for this king!"
Guo Tong had been in Shang Jing for so many years, that he had long become an old cunning fox. With a face full of smiles, he nodded his head and said, "Feng King is a country's loyal and benevolent country. No matter what happens, this old subordinate will always stand on Feng King's side."
"Haha ? ?" Tang Yin laughed, and without knowing what was going on, he walked into the hall with Guo Tong and Guo Yu.
The banquet had already been prepared. Although Guo Tong was a landowner, he didn't dare to sit in the right seat in the middle. He gave his seat to Tang Yin while Guo Yu and he sat by the side.
The Brother Shangguan that came with Tang Yin was still very careful. He first checked the wine and dishes and confirmed there was no poison before retreating behind Tang Yin.
Eating with Guo Tong, there was basically no proper business to discuss at all.0
Before they even started to drink, Guo Tong had all the artificers and dancers come over to cheer Tang Yin on.
Tang Yin did not like the singing and dancing performances of this era, but he did not hate them either.
Guo Tong toasted to Tang Yin as he leaned forward and said in a low voice: "Feng King, these dancers were brought here from Shang Jing by this old man. If Feng King likes them, you can also bring them back!"
Tang Yin could not bring himself to be interested in them. Compared to his favorite Yin Rou, these dancers who were as beautiful as flowers, were all ordinary, ordinary, and unbearable to look at. He laughed indifferently: "A gentleman does not rob others' things, Prime Minister Guo will enjoy it herself!"
