This sudden action frightened the housekeeper.
He had been in the palace for more than ten years, and he had never seen his own prince being so close to that person, especially the opposite sex. He looked up involuntarily and took another look at the young lady in his prince's arms, his eyes full of surprise.
No one noticed that when Nangong Tianlan hugged Ling'er, Ling'er's body unconsciously leaned back. It seemed that she subconsciously didn't want this man to hug her. However, the small arc of leaning back didn't have any effect at all.
As for why he hugged Ling'er, even Nangong Tianlan himself didn't know the answer. He just did it subconsciously...
Besides, didn’t Emperor Shi Tian also hold this girl in the same way
Passing through the secluded corridor, we arrived at the pavilion built in the middle of the lotus pond.
There is a round table filled with all kinds of food. With this elegant scenery, eating here is really a special experience.
Naogong Tianlan sat down with Ling'er in his arms. Ling'er immediately broke free from his arms and sat on the chair next to him.
Although there was a 90% chance that this man was her 90-day brother, for some reason, she didn't seem to like his touch, it felt weird.
Seeing this, the housekeeper immediately bought a set of bowls and chopsticks for Ling'er.
Feeling the soft body disappear in his arms, Nangong Tianlan frowned slightly, and a hint of disappointment flashed across his face. He didn't know what he was disappointed about, and it was really ridiculous to let a little girl mess up her emotions.
So, he lowered his head and ate by himself, ignoring Ling'er beside him. I don't know whether he was angry or wanted to return to the way things were.
"Brother Tian, eat this, it's delicious!"
The moment Nangong Tianlan looked up, a piece of tender white fish meat had already fallen into the bowl.
The butler who was waiting on the side couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw this. Their prince was a germaphobe, so all the utensils were specially made. And what was given to the young lady just now was a spoon. Because she was young, she probably didn't know how to use chopsticks.
Look at the spoon covered with a certain spirit's saliva, and then look at the piece of fish that was scooped over with the spoon...
The butler lowered his head consciously and looked at the ground.
Seeing Nangong Tianlan staring at the piece of fish for a long time without reacting, Ling'er frowned and asked with a slightly disappointed tone: "Brother Tian, don't you like eating fish?"
In her previous life, it was Brother Tian who cared about her. He knew exactly what she liked and didn't like to eat. But on the other hand, she didn't know anything about Brother Tian's preferences.
Because of this, she felt guilty for a long time after Brother Tian died.
"No." Just when Ling'er was disappointed, two syllables without beginning or end came over.
No
What's not...
Mou Ling was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
Subconsciously looking up, I saw Nangong Tianlan pick up the fish from the bowl and put it in his mouth. He chewed slowly, then swallowed it and repeated again, "I don't dislike it."
Now, Ling'er finally understood.
The gloom on her face just now gradually dissipated, and the corners of her cherry-red mouth raised to the sides, forming an arc.
However, to the housekeeper, this scene was even more unbelievable than telling him that he would pick up silver tomorrow.
Their prince, a mysophobic prince, actually ate the fish meat that the young lady had drooled over? !
Moreover, he ate it willingly!
This is simply, simply incredible!
He is now really curious about who this young lady is and how she can have such great abilities!
"As long as you like it." Ling'er smiled and continued eating happily.
"Brother Tian, can I ask you a few questions?" Ling'er said while eating. After all, the purpose of coming here today was to find out about the Ghost Guard, so she had to ask sooner or later.
"Ask." Nangong Tianlan answered readily.
"what do you like?"
"What?" Nangong Tianlan asked subconsciously, probably not understanding the meaning of Ling'er's question.
"What do you like? For example, power, wealth, women, what do you like?" He reached out, scooped a spoonful of pork rib soup, and drank it into his stomach.
The little face was still smiling like a flower, without any sign of seriousness, but this question made Nangong Tianlan's eyes darker.
This is not a question that a little girl can ask. Could it be that she came here today because someone instructed her to do so
Who could it be? Emperor Shi Tian
“I don’t like any of them.”
"Oh? Really? You don't like anything, not even power?" Ling'er continued to ask, her tone still so childish, but it made Nangong Tianlan feel that the question was very meaningful.
Putting down the jade chopsticks in his hand, Nangong Tianlan glanced at Ling'er with deep eyes, as if he wanted to see something clearly through her little face.
"Why do you ask this? Little girl, do you know the true meaning of these words: power, money, and women?" Who can believe that this is a question asked by a three-year-old girl.
I wanted to embarrass this little girl and make her give up.
"Of course I know." Ling'er pouted, took out a silk scarf and wiped the corners of her mouth, then continued: "Power is status, it is the respect above everyone else, just like my father, just like the emperor uncle; money is silver, money makes the devil go round; women are beauty, dying under the peony flowers, being a ghost is also romantic. These three things are the greatest temptations in the world. As long as these three terms are mentioned, few people will not go crazy for them. So, I want to know if Brother Tian is not immune to this."
If the 'Old Ghost' is really his, then does he really want to unify the continent as the outside world says
Is Brother Tian a man with such great ambitions
These words perfectly explained the meaning of those three words and also surprised Nangong Tianlan.
Is this something a three-year-old girl blurted out
Oh, no wonder, no wonder Emperor Shi Tian treasures this little princess so much. He had heard that the little princess was both intelligent and brave, but he didn't quite believe it. He thought that no matter how powerful she was, she was just a little girl, but he didn't expect that she was actually a treasure.
Emperor Shi Tian's luck is always so good that it makes people jealous.
"Little girl, you are really extraordinary. I have said that I don't like you at all."
"Hehe, actually I have been staying with my father for many years, and I have been influenced by him." After all, she is still a three-year-old child, and it is hard not to be suspicious if she behaves too maturely. So Ling'er can only use cuteness to cover up her difference.
"Brother Tian, we are full, what should we do now?"
"What do you want to do, girl?" His eyes narrowed, and he stared at Ling'er, as if he was looking into her heart with a perspective mirror. (To be continued)
