Chapter 102 - 102. Bride Selection IV (1/2)

Third person POV

Hong er woke up like usual but she didn't go out of her room as it was too early in the morning for a girl to wake up. She did her usual warm up except running because she couldn't run in a small room and it would be noisy. After she was done with her warm up, Meiyun and Huayun prepared her bath and her clothes. Hong er took a bath and dressed up in her usual white attire, she sat on a chair and read books that she took from Xi An with her until the time for breakfast.

Hong er went to Qingshui Palace and was the first one to arrive there, she sat on her arranged seat and patiently waited for the other girls to arrive. Not long after, Li Qianzi proudly walked in to the hall, she planned to be the first one to arrive and gave the diligent student impression to the other girls but Hong er beat her. Hong stood up from her seat and greeted Li Qianzi by slightly bowing her head. Li Qianzi forced a smile and greeted back before she went to her seat.

30 minutes later, all the girls finally arrived and the lesson started. Hong er's mind only filled with Weisheng for the whole lesson, she couldn't stop worrying about Weisheng. She clenched her hands and prayed to the gods for Weisheng's safety.

The lesson ended with Hong er got scolded by the teacher for not paying attention to the lesson. The girls giggled mockingly like usual but Hong er was careless about what they do so she just walked out of the hall after she gave her greeting to the teacher.

Hong er was walking to her room with Meiyun and Huayun behind her when she suddenly heard a faint whimper, they immediately halted and looked around but they didn't see anyone around them. They looked at each other and shook their head before continued their walk then they stopped again when they heard the whimpering sound again.

They slowly walked towards the source of the sound and found out that it was in a quite secluded alley. Meiyun and Huayun immediately summoned their weapon, Meiyun dashed to Hong er's forepart and Huayun turned her body to protect Hong er from the back. They slowly walked to the alley and the whimpering sound gets louder and louder, Hong er's hand was ready to summon her weapon until she saw a man in a green attire crouching down on the ground. She couldn't see his face as his knee was covering his face. Hong er didn't let her guard down, rather than that, her sword slowly appeared on her hand. Meiyun cautiously approached the green clothed man and asked in low voice.

Meiyun: ” You there, with the green clothes, who are you?”

The green clothed man flinched when he suddenly heard a woman's voice. He slowly looked up and saw 3 masked women with one of them facing behind( Huayun). His face got pale when he saw the three masked women were holding a frightening weapon in their hands. He scurried away and begged to spare his life. Hong er tapped Meiyun's shoulder and told her to lower down her weapon and ask kindly. Meiyun nodded her head and lowered her weapon.

Meiyun: ” Don't be afraid. Just tell me who you are.”

The green clothed man slowly stood up and cautiously walked towards them. Hong er finally could see his face clearly, his face was a bit similar to Long Quan and Long Shangu.

Green clothed man: ” I-I am the Seventh prince, Lo-Long Yang.”

Meiyun slowly went to Hong er's side and whispered to her ear.

Meiyun: ” He is the infamous useless prince, Young Miss. What should we do?”

Hong er replied in a low voice that only Meiyun could hear.

Hong er: ” Ask him why he is here.”

Meiyun nodded and turned her head towards Long Yang.
