Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year

Mr. Lu froze when he heard this, then he cupped his hands and replied: "It's not that he and I went alone, all the classmates and friends who are usually close to the princess went."

The emperor didn't say anything. Mo Lingwei walked in with his steps. The emperor seemed to have just seen him.

 “My son is here?”

"If I didn't come, how could I hear you say these words on purpose?" Mo Lingwei's tone was light, with a sober black look in his thin eyes.

The emperor looked stern: "You brat, you are talking nonsense, how dare you make me angry?"

Mo Lingwei waved his hand, signaling Commander Lu to step aside for now.

 Then he sat on the edge of the dragon couch.

"What should Shen Ningning do? Many people have told me that my father doesn't have to worry about it anymore. Taking medicine is better than anything else."

The emperor glanced at his face and saw that he had no intention of getting angry.

 He sat up following Mo Lingwei's strength.

“Today is the Yuelao Festival, and you’re not angry with little girl Ning Ning for going to watch the lanterns with others?”

“Isn’t it Lu Shaoyuan? I heard about it in advance.”

 The emperor thought his attitude was strange.

 Suddenly, he realized: "Pei Yin suddenly asked for leave. Was it your fault?"

Mo Lingwei raised his eyebrows: "What else?"

The emperor thought to himself, no wonder this kid can keep his composure, it turns out he has an spy around Shen Ningning!

Mo Lingwei naturally knew that Lu Shaoyuan could not do anything extraordinary.

The emperor wanted to provoke him twice more, but unexpectedly, it was in vain.

He could only shake his head and sigh: "I am old, but you are smarter than when I was young."

Mo Lingwei smiled, but the smile dissipated before it reached the depths of his thin eyes.

“My father has been in poor health recently, and I don’t care about it, but it’s best not to let me hear such provocative words a second time.”

The emperor glared at him: "If I don't take good care of my health, you will make me angry to death sooner or later. I will no longer care about your affairs from now on."

“It’s best this way.” Mo Lingwei sneered with thin lips.

 He had been keeping an eye on the emperor these past few days, just not wanting him to be confused during his illness and make any wrong decisions.

 After careful calculation, he had not seen Shen Ningning for several days.

 Fortunately, after hearing the emperor's words, Mo Lingwei felt that he could feel more relieved.

Before Mo Lingwei left, the emperor couldn't help but say: "Ning Ning has already reached the age of hairpins, and you have also reached the age of hairpins for a long time. When I was your age, your mother was already pregnant."

“That’s long-winded,” Mo Lingwei glanced sideways, a little disgusted, “I know our affairs well.”

 With that said, he left.

The emperor's eyes showed a heavy blackness. He looked at the dragon tent and thought for a long time before closing his eyes and falling asleep.

 …

Shortly after the Yuelao Festival, Mo Lingwei sent Wu Fang to deliver something to Shen Ningning.

It turned out to be a seven-treasure lantern exactly like the King of Lamps.

Shen Ningning was surprised: "Brother, where did you get it?"

Haven’t the lamp king been given to Ye Changyi by her third brother?

Wu Fang smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he was very busy those days and could not accompany His Royal Highness the Princess to Yuelao Temple to see the lanterns. It is a pity."

“He learned that the lanterns on that day were bright and beautiful, so His Royal Highness found the lantern maker, gave him ten thousand taels of gold, and asked him to make an identical one.”

Shen Ningning felt a little emotional and wanted to say that he was extravagant and wasteful, but she couldn't restrain the joy in her heart.

Her slender pink fingertips touched the colored glass depicting auspicious patterns on the lantern, and gently moved it. The colored glass rotated in circles, reflecting seven different colors under the light.

　　It is indeed beautiful!

Wu Fang struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Your Highness, please forgive me for talking too much because of my humble position. When Your Highness, the Crown Prince, learned that Young Master Xie won the lantern but did not give it to you, he immediately said, 'How can that be done?', so he went to make up for this regret for you personally. Based on your humble position, His Highness the Crown Prince takes you very seriously."

"Thank you brother for me. I wonder if he has finished his work recently? If possible, I would like to invite him to the bamboo garden to play." Shen Ningning blinked her long eyelashes.

Wu Fang was very happy when he heard it.

"No problem, I will go back and tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now. When the time is confirmed, I will tell the princess again." After saying that, Wu Fang hurried back to the palace and told Mo Lingwei the good news.

Mo Lingwei happened to also want to see her.

 No matter what the emperor thought, he should really ask Shen Ningning what she meant.

 At least... let her know his feelings first.

Within a few days, Shen Ningning got the news that Mo Lingwei made an appointment with her to meet her in the Zhuyuan three days later.

On the day of the trip, Shen Ningning dressed up carefully and put on her favorite haze fairy skirt. Her black hair was tied into a girl's bun, and there were bright pearl hairpins.

 Her skin is even more white and beautiful, like a fire hibiscus flower with a faint fragrance.

I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t seen Mo Lingwei for a few days. Shen Ningning not only dressed up, but also went to the Zhuyuan in advance. While waiting, she couldn’t help but feel full of anticipation.

 Even more inexplicably nervous.

 She asked Wanchun from time to time: "Is my hair messy?"

Wan Chun smiled and said: "It's okay, the princess is so beautiful today. Just when she came all the way, many young masters stopped to watch and asked the slaves to say that the princess is more beautiful than Jiutian Xuannv today."

Shen Ningning lowered her eyelashes, a smile appeared on her pink cheeks.

After a while, the guard came first, but it was not Wu Fang. The man raised his hand and said hello.

 “Your Highness Princess, the master invites you to go up the mountain and sit in the pavilion.”

Shen Ningning looked up. Behind the bamboo garden, there was a hillside with a four-corner viewing pavilion. She could see the bright sunshine and half of the outline of the capital city.

So she lifted her skirt and was about to go up, but unexpectedly the guard stopped Wan Chun behind her.

"The master has only invited the princess. If we have something to discuss, he also invites this girl to stay."

Wan Chun frowned: "Normally, His Highness the Crown Prince does not have such a request."

Shen Ningning only thought that Mo Lingwei had something important to tell her.

 Let the late spring stay below.

“It’s okay, Sister Wanchun, just wait for me here.”

 Subsequently, Wan Chun could only watch Shen Ningning follow the guards up the hillside and into the pavilion.

From far away, I saw a tall figure opposite Shen Ningning.

Late Chun thought it was the prince, so he didn't think much about it. He found a place to sit down out of boredom and waited quietly.

However.

Shen Ningning was suddenly startled when she saw the figure in the pavilion.

 “Uncle Emperor?”

The man with his hands behind her turned around with a smile on his face. He was the emperor.

His face was still pale as he was sick. Shen Ningning subconsciously looked around, but did not see Mo Lingwei's figure.

The emperor wore regular clothes and said: "Little girl Ning Ning, I have something to discuss with you this time, so I asked the guards to advance the time for your meeting by an hour. I hope you don't mind."

Mo Lingwei asked Shen Ningning to meet him at Sishi, but the emperor's people told Shen Ningning that the meeting was at Chenshi, so she came early.

 The emperor invited Shen Ningning to sit down, with doubts in the girl's beautiful eyes.

“Uncle Emperor, are you looking for me for something important?”

 The emperor poured her a cup of tea. His expression seemed calm and serious.

“Ning Ning, I want to grant you a marriage.”

Shen Ningning's eyebrows skipped a beat, and she was extremely surprised: "With whom?"

The emperor pursed his lips: "How about Lu Shaoyuan? The Lu family is my close confidant, and his brother Lu Fu is also the commander of the Forbidden Army. The Lu family is the only official and merchant clan, and its future is immeasurable."

“If I grant you a marriage, you will only be the official wife when you marry Lu Shaoyuan. With me as your backer, and Lu Shaoyuan sincerely loves you, you will definitely be in harmony after your marriage.”
