Xiao Honghong, I'm here!

  Huang Pu didn't get angry at all, but instead hung a charming smile on his face and shook the fan in his hand: "Little Jinjin, I'm hungry too, won't you keep me for a meal?"

  As soon as this was said, the Jingren Palace fell silent instantly! The prince didn't even bother to argue with her, but still wanted to eat here? Eat with a small palace maid? Isn't this acting stupidly?

  Su Jinping's face immediately turned black: "Your Majesty, you don't know that as palace maids, our daily meals are rationed? If we have an extra meal, we have to pay dozens of copper coins. You, the king, probably can't eat those things either, so it's better not to torment your slave!"

  What kind of interstellar joke is this, her meals are already bad enough to apologize to the audience! Huangfu Ye still wants to bully her, why not just die instead!

  "I knew you wouldn't be willing! Alright, I'll take care of the food and bring some wine. Considering I accompanied you for a whole day's performance, will you accompany me to take a look at the moon?" The cherry blossom-like lips curved up, and the light purple eyes held a hint of expectation, making it hard for one to refuse.

  Su Jinping furrowed her brow: "Thank you, Your Highness, I won't go. I have something to do tonight!" She mentioned that she had to go to someone's place at night.

  As soon as the words fell, Huangfu Ye grabbed her hand and dragged her away without saying a word: "I am the king, and you dare not disobey my orders! I let you accompany me to watch the moon, and you must go!"

  Helplessly rolled her eyes, the miserable palace maid seemed to only obey the orders of her superiors! Pitiful!

  "Alright, alright, I'll go!" Is it just a matter of giving her a month? After giving it to her, she can go to his place later. Anyway, that guy doesn't welcome her either, and going there would be seeing their cold faces, so it's no big deal if it's late."

  "Ah, that's more like it!" As soon as a certain prince finished saying this, he felt a chill run down his back and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He awkwardly opened his mouth to say: "Cough cough, I take back those words!"

  "Consider yourself lucky!"

  Following him around the winding palace paths, they arrived at a rather secluded courtyard. Huangfu Ye pointed to the roof of the house and shouted: "Xiao Jinjin, go up!"

  "Good!" With a single response, he didn't wait for Huangfu Ye to speak again, and had already climbed up the pillar and quickly got onto the rooftop.

  Huang Pu smiled slightly, slowly walked around the railing, squatted down, and dug out a jar of fine wine from under the maple tree, holding it with his toes...

  As she watched him use his qinggong, Su Jin's eyes flashed once. If she could learn this qinggong, it would indeed be a great help to her! Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a burning sensation in her chest, as if there was a fierce flame burning inside. She clutched at her chest, what was wrong?

  Huang Pu Ye naturally also sensed her abnormality and took a few big steps forward: "Are you okay?"

  Just as she was about to say something, that feeling receded like the tide, as if it had just been her illusion.

  He looked up at him with a worried look and smiled: "It's okay!" The feeling of being cared about is actually not bad!

  "It's okay if nothing's wrong, just speak up if you're uncomfortable." As he spoke, he sat down beside her and opened the lid of the wine jar, releasing a rich aroma that instantly filled the air.

  "Good wine!" Su Jinping exclaimed at once, as an assassin, not only did she have to smell out the inferior wine, but even after taking a sip, she had to say the year of the wine! "If I'm not mistaken, this wine was buried fifteen years ago!"

  "Xiao Jinjin, are you really the Minister's daughter?" This question was laced with obvious skepticism. How could a pampered young lady be so familiar with wine?

  His eyes dimmed for a moment before he spoke in a calm tone, "Isn't it true that the real Chancellor's daughter, Su Jinping, has already been investigated by Your Highness? Is it possible that there are two Su Jinpings in this world?"

  As soon as this was said, Huangfu Ye stopped abruptly and then looked up and laughed: "Haha... It's all said that Mu Yuqi and Murong Shuang are the world's twin beauties, extremely intelligent, while Dongling's number one beauty Su Jinxian is empty with appearance but has no talent. In this king's opinion, Little Jinxian should be considered wise beyond compare, those two people, I'm afraid they don't even come close to you!"

  "Prince's undeserved praise!" She only said four words and didn't say anything more. Today, she had revealed too much!

  ……

  A man in white sat quietly at the table, listening to the wind outside. Occasionally, pear blossoms floated into the house with the wind, bringing a lot of coolness.

  The candle flame burned out bit by bit, but he sat upright, motionless. The calm and peaceful heart lake appeared a little anxious for the first time. Finally... the room was pitch black, the candle had burned out!

  Her eyes, like moonlight, intoxicating and enchanting, closed, and the corners of her lips involuntarily curled up with a hint of self-mockery, indeed, was it just a momentary whim?

  Her eyes opened, she got up, slowly walked to the door, and closed it. Having decided to overthrow the world, with power over life and death, grasping the great power of the world, she was destined to be lonely for a lifetime, so why bother seeking that one thread of warmth?

  What is the source of this faint sorrow in my heart?

  ……

  After that episode, the two of them quietly poured wine, neither saying anything more. Suddenly, Su Jinping spoke up...

  "Huang Pu Ye!" A mouthful of wine was poured down, and the transparent liquid slid down along the corner of his lips.

  He turned his head, looking at her bathing in the moonlight: "What's wrong?" Looking at that **slipping along her neck into her collar**, he suddenly remembered the look on her face when she tried to falsely accuse him of being rude that night, her shoulders half-exposed, skin like frozen fat... His lower abdomen tightened, his eyes also became fiery, and he quickly turned his head, not daring to look again.

  "Although it's a great kindness that doesn't need to be thanked, but the favor you've done for me, Su Jinping owes it to you. If one day you fall into trouble, even if it's in the midst of knives and fire, I will go through it with you without hesitation!" Her phoenix-like eyes shone with a resolute light, giving people a sense of awe-inspiring power.

  Huang Pu was taken aback for a moment, and then spoke in a joking tone: "Xiao Jinjin, are you hoping that I, the king, will fall into trouble?"

  "Whether or not, you know it in your heart! Alright, I really have something to do, I'm leaving!" She threw the wine jar at him and quickly slid down along the eaves, heading towards Liyuan. After midnight, it wouldn't be "tonight" anymore, she didn't want to break her promise to anyone.

  Huang Pu Ye looked at her back as she headed towards the Pear Garden, raised his head and took a swig of wine, and clear wine slid out along the corner of his lips. He stretched out his hand to wipe away the wine stain on his lips, Xiao Jinjin, after all, you can't stop you from entering the game, but how will you withdraw afterwards?

  ……

  When she arrived at the door of that house, Su Jinping's face was quite ugly! The door was tightly closed, and the room inside was pitch black. Obviously, that arrogant man had completely ignored what she said last night!

  Damn it! She's still rushing over in a hurry! A few big steps forward, "Bang!" The door was kicked down: "Xiao Honghong, I'm here!"

  This loud noise startled the people in the house, and the name entered his ears - Xiao Honghong? The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but his tightly furrowed eyebrows did not relax: "I'm already asleep, miss. Come back another day." His voice was clear, cold, and aloof, untainted by worldly concerns.

  "Get up! I've come all the way to see you, and you're sleeping? Get dressed and come out on your own, or I'll go in. If I see something I shouldn't, hmm, I won't be responsible!" As soon as she mentioned "something I shouldn't", a certain woman's face turned red immediately, seemingly having already seen both what should and shouldn't be seen.

  As soon as he said this, there was no response inside. After waiting for a while, he didn't hear him respond, and with several big strides, he quickly stepped to the door and pushed it open: "Are you okay?"

  Digression

  Considering that a kid said my 24th chapter wasn't good yesterday (I cried for a while...), I thought deeply and revised the chapter from yesterday this morning, also changing some of the content. If you guys have time, take a look; mainly changed the last part of Chapter 24.

  After the editors go to work and pass it through for me, after the page caching issue is resolved, you will be able to see the revised chapters, hoping that they have improved a bit after revision... ~ (_
