Chapter 21: A greeting gift for a beautiful lady

Views:

"What? Lord Wang, don't you want to step down?" Emperor Shitian said sternly, with an evil and charming face like a Shura.

“Your Majesty, please calm down. I will leave immediately, immediately…” Wang An kowtowed twice in panic, then used his hands and feet to crawl out of the hall in a “dog crawling” posture.

Oh hehe…

This man is so cute.

A certain beast was supporting itself on the tabletop with one claw, slapping its hands wildly with one paw, and laughing from ear to ear.

It had no doubt that everything the man did today was intentional.

Even if it wasn't asleep, he would keep the old thing waiting outside for a long time.

He will report all flaws and protect his shortcomings. Oh my god, he likes this kind of personality.

A woman was sitting on a nanmu bench with a gold-threaded backrest. She was wearing a bright red robe with colorful clouds and a purple and gold double-butterfly crown on her head. Her hair was spinning high, revealing her elegance.

Between her eyebrows was adorned a deep purple North Sea necklace, her lips were as red as blood, her eyebrows and eyes were as picturesque as a painting, her skin was as white as snow, she was delicate and beautiful, with a pair of affectionate eyes like autumn water, and her eye corners were slightly raised, like the misty and rainy ink paintings of the Jiangnan region, and her eyes were gazing out of the door with burning eyes.

This woman is none other than Wang An’s daughter, Wang Yanran, who was canonized as a “noble lady” today.

The palace maid in pink palace dress looked up at the sky. The moon was dim and the stars were sparse. It was already late at night. After hesitating for a long time, she finally spoke.

"My dear Ran, it's late at night. I guess the king won't come tonight, so you should go to bed early... Ah!" Before the maid finished her words, a burning pain spread across her face. She was knocked to the ground by the sudden slap, and her fair cheek was scratched by the red nails, leaving faint blood marks.

Without caring about the pain on her face, the maid hurriedly got up and knelt down to beg for mercy.

"My lord, please calm down, my lord, please calm down..."

"Bitch, who told you that I'm waiting for the king? You're so brave to guess my master's thoughts!" Wang Yanran stood up suddenly, her eyes turned cold, and she said sternly.

The slender white neck was raised proudly, and the pair of autumn eyes seemed to be stained with anger. The lips painted with lipstick were tightly pursed, and the face as beautiful as peach blossoms lost its autumn watery affection just now, and was melted by anger into a ferocious look.

Damn it!

On the first day of the enthronement, the king didn't even look at her. Wasn't he deliberately wanting her to be laughed at by the servants

Although she had heard that the king was not interested in women before entering the palace, she never expected that she, the most beautiful woman in Tianze, would be neglected like this.

Thinking of this, her pair of phoenix eyes looked extremely gloomy, and under her cloud-patterned brocade sleeves, her five fingers, as thin as green onions, pierced into her palms.

"Get out, all of you, get out!" He quickly walked to the nanmu table and pushed all the teapots and teacups with blue and white patterns to the ground.

Then, the sound of "ping pong pong" of broken porcelain echoed in the elegant Qinfang Palace.

Upon seeing this, the eunuchs and palace maids who were on night stand immediately retreated in panic, with contempt clearly visible in their eyes.

He is just a newly-appointed nobleman, but he has such a bad temper. Fortunately, the king doesn't like beautiful women, otherwise there will be a big fuss in the future...

Emperor Shi Tian would never have thought that his aloofness from women would actually be appreciated under such circumstances.

The wind outside the window blew coldly, passing through the mahogany window eaves, leaving behind cold moisture.

At some point, the leaden clouds quietly came, hiding the bright moon, and the earth became gloomy. The cold wind blew, and the trees swayed like ghosts, making a rustling sound. Combined with the eerie silence of the night, it seemed eerie and terrifying.

Wang Yanran took off her gorgeous clothes and lay on the mahogany bed with a gloomy face.

Suddenly, the flickering candlelight in the corridor lost its luster.

Without the moonlight, the entire Qinfang Palace seemed huge and empty.

"Squeak!" There was the sound of a door opening.

In this silent night, any slight noise seems extremely obvious.

"Who?" Hearing this, Wang Yanran's heart tightened, and she immediately sat up and asked, "Who's there?"

She straightened her back, held her head high, and clutched the soft satin quilt tightly with her slender fingers. Her slightly pale face silently told of her fear.

Without the flickering yellow candlelight, the entire palace was gloomy.

No one responded to her except the rustling of the cold wind.

Wang Yanran’s long and thin eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and her fox eyes were full of hesitation and fear.

"Someone come! Someone come quickly!"

There was still deathly silence, and no one answered her.

Damn it, how could she forget. She drove all those minions away.

"Meow... Meow..." Two cat meows were heard.

It turned out to be a cat!

Then, her violently beating heart calmed down a little.

Suddenly, the sound of raindrops was heard, hitting the wooden window sill, like big and small pearls falling on a jade plate.

As the night deepened, waves of coolness came over us.

Wang Yanran pulled the quilt, lay down again, and soon fell asleep.

However, no one noticed that under the big bed, there was a pair of bright purple eyes.

Emma, that was a close call. We were almost discovered.

A certain beast patted its chest with its claws and let out a long breath.

This broken body is really a nuisance.

It makes noise even when entering the door. It's really embarrassing.

Fortunately, it was smart and caught a cat to use as cover.

Looking down along the body of the beast, a black cat that was three times bigger than the beast was being stepped on under its claws with a helpless look on its face.

A certain beast grabbed a handful of cat hair with one paw and patted the black cat's head with a satisfied look on its face.

Xiao Hei, well done.

Since you helped me today, please follow me from now on.

After hearing this, the male cat called Xiao Hei's face turned completely black.

I rolled my eyes and thought with contempt: If you hadn't grabbed my hair, would I have let you step on me? You despicable villain, sneak attack from behind. I'll see how I deal with you when you get out!

How smart a certain animal is! It can figure out what it is thinking with just its toes.

But now that I've caught it, I've naturally already figured out how to escape unscathed.

You little brat, you’re too young to fight with me!

She stretched out her hand, pointed toward the sky, and whispered: Xiao Hei, let's go out, I'm going to take action.

With a leap, the cat and the beast jumped straight onto the mahogany bed.

He stretched out his claws that were glowing green and placed them between Wang Yanran's noses for a moment. Wang Yanran fell asleep.

Xiao Hei, go to the desk.

With a wave of his hand, he directed everything in an orderly manner, like a king.

Although the black cat hated the beast, it had no choice but to obey it because it was under its claws. So it turned around and jumped onto the desk.

I reached out and tried to pick up the brush, but when I looked at the claws that looked like plum petals, I felt powerless. It seemed that using a brush would not work. (To be continued)
