A smile appeared on Lady Xiao's face as she said, ”After entering the True Sun Sect, one cannot enter and exit without a command token. As long as you enter, you won't be able to leave. Today, they were all preoccupied with the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, so tonight was the best time to make a move. Senior Servant Zhen, according to my instructions, once the time is up you'll cause a huge ruckus. Do you understand? ”
”Don't worry, Madam. You'll be relieved by now.” Senior Servant Zhen patted her chest and promised.
Within the Jade Light Garden.
As soon as Xiao He walked into the garden, his gaze scanned the surroundings. He wore an exquisite red robe and had a handsome face with a distinct coldness. His eyes, however, held a trace of fervor, as if he was looking for someone he was anxious to see.
The girls who saw him all sighed in their hearts, ”What a handsome and mighty young duke!”
However, after looking around, he still couldn't find the person he was thinking of. Xiao He couldn't help but tightly clench the small wooden figure in his palm.
In the past, she could always see the lively and beautiful figure of Princess Eleven on occasions like this. What was going on today? There wasn't even a shadow of her to be seen.
”Is this the Grand General of the Heavenly Treasures?” At this time, a soft and gentle voice sounded out from behind Xiao He. He turned around and saw a girl wearing a creamy peach-red dress standing in front of him, followed by a type of palace maid and a mama. With a slightly embarrassed expression, he took a step back, slightly nodded his head, and greeted the palace:
”Princess.”
Feng Ziyao indicated that he should be excused, then asked: ”Who is the Great General Tianbao looking for?” Her voice was like a soft whisper, slowly flowing into the heart of a person. This kind of voice sounded really pleasurable.
Xiao He couldn't help but secretly place the little wooden person in his hand inside his sleeve. ”Reporting to the princess, this humble subject was just casually looking around.”
”Oh, I see.” Feng Yang stood in front of Xiao He, his heart raced, and his face flushed even more red. On the other hand, Xiao He was a bit absent-minded, his gaze drifted to other places, and when the yellow figure finally appeared, his heart was overjoyed, he cupped his fist and said to Feng Yao Wu: ”Princess, this humble subject still has matters to attend to, so I will be leaving first.”
As he spoke, he turned around and walked away.
”Heavens …” Feng Tang called out softly, but Xiao He had already walked away.
Who was he really in a hurry to meet?
Feng Lingyue didn't want to appear at first, but the Queen Mother told her that it was the empress dowager's birthday. No one was allowed to miss her, so she had to come.
However, she didn't want to go to the Temple of Absolute Monarch Sanctuary, so she first went to the Jade Brightness Garden and found a secluded place to sit down. However, she didn't have any spirit and looked like a withered eggplant.
He shook his head helplessly. At this moment, he saw a person walking over — —
”Young …” She was about to open her mouth to remind the princess, but Xiao He made a gesture of silence towards her, causing her to lower her head.
Xiao He walked into the pavilion and placed a small wooden figure on the table where Feng Lingyue was lying on, as if he was performing a magic trick.
”Eh, what is this?” Feng Lingyue's eyes lit up as she saw this little toy. She extended her hand and took the little wooden figure into her hands to carefully examine it. This little wooden figure even had some color to it; it was extremely exquisite and beautiful.
”Do you like it?” Xiao He stood in front of her and asked with his gaze tightly locked onto the person in front of him with a bit of hope.
”I like it! ”Where did you buy this? Oh, it looks similar to me.” As Feng Lingyue watched, she suddenly realized something.
”It should be, right? I carved it according to the appearance of the princess when I was in the Great Liaoning Province.” Xiao He said as if he was offering a treasure.
”Xiao He, I really didn't notice that besides fighting, you have this sort of ability.” Princess Eleven was interested in this little wooden man who looked like her.
