"Since the princess likes you, I allow you to stay and be the princess's personal guard to protect her."
It just so happened that this young man had extraordinary skills. Although he came from a humble background, Mu Han was not the kind of person who valued his background.
Nowadays, Nuobao is so favored that it naturally arouses the jealousy of many people.
In addition to the shadow guard secretly, she also needs someone who can protect her openly.
Nuobao didn't like too many people following him around, and he was only served by Yue Zhi, a palace maid.
Arrange those guards, and the little idiot will definitely find a way to get rid of them.
In this case, Ling Xiao, who is similar to her age, is a good candidate.
"From now on, you only have to obey the orders of the princess alone."
Mu Han looked at him condescendingly, his indifferent voice filled with murderous intent.
"Of course, if you fail to protect the princess, don't blame me for cutting off your head."
"Yes, Ling Xiao obeys the order."
The young man responded with a cold voice, his attitude neither humble nor overbearing.
Even when facing the king of a country, he never lowered his head.
Only when he heard Nuo Bao Nai's purring voice would he lower his head and look at her.
"Brother Tangyuan, don't worry. From now on, if Nuo Bao has a mouthful of food, you will have a bowl to wash."
Nuobao patted her small chest and vowed to do so.
Ling Xiao couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, "Then I really thank you."
Nuobao smiled like a little flower fluttering in the wind, "You're welcome~"
…
The next day.
After Nuo Bao had breakfast, he took Ling Xiao and ran to Yaohua Palace.
Sister Yuezhi took her there yesterday.
Nuobao has memorized the route and leads the way confidently.
But as she walked, she found that she seemed to be lost.
QAQ
I don’t blame Nuo Bao for being stupid. If I do, it’s because the palace is so big that I accidentally got lost.
Nuobao tries hard to make amends for himself.
"Brother Tangyuan, I seem to have made a mistake."
Nuobao scratched his head in distress, almost breaking the two little knots on his head.
Ling Xiao was speechless for a moment. How could Xiaotuanzi be so stupid? He didn't even know the way to his own home.
"I know the way to go."
Nuobao's eyes lit up, "Really?"
Ling Xiao said "Hmm" and held the sword with a cool expression.
"follow me."
Nuobao happily responded "Okay" and was about to follow Ling Xiao away when his ears caught some movement.
It's like someone is crying.
Nuobao immediately stopped and eavesdropped with his little ears.
It seems that there are not only people crying, but also shouting "Help——"
"Brother Tangyuan, did you hear that?"
"Um."
Ling Xiao glanced towards the pavilion in the Imperial Garden.
He had excellent hearing and naturally heard the noise.
But how did Nuobao hear it from such a long distance?
Ling Xiao couldn't help but think of the times when Nuobao saved him twice.
It seems that this little guy seems to have a secret.
"Brother Tangyuan, let's go over and take a look."
Nuobao grabbed his hand and led Ling Xiao toward the source of the sound.
Ling Xiao's eyes fell on that hand.
Small and soft.
Like the cute paws of a cub.
His fingertips curled up, but in the end he didn't pull out his hand.
Just let Nuobao lead him away.
Nuobao followed the sound and came to the lake pavilion in the Imperial Garden.
There were several seven or eight-year-old little girls sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Together with the maids they brought with them, it looked like a large group of people.
As for this group of people, all of them were sitting aside and watching the show with nothing to do.
"Little Princess, I really know that I was wrong. Please let me go."
A little palace maid with a round face was grabbed by both arms and forced to kneel on the ground.
A maid stood in front of her, raised her palm and slapped her several times.
The loud sound echoed in the Huxin Pavilion.
The little palace maid's face soon became swollen, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth.
He could no longer utter any words of begging for mercy, and shed tears helplessly, making a "woo woo woo" sound, and his eyes were full of pleading.
Nuobao felt his face hurt just by hearing the sound.
"Keep fighting, don't stop."
The person who said this was a little girl wearing a colored skirt.
The girl raised her chin, looking imposing, her childish face full of anger.
"You damn bitch, how dare you spill tea on me. Do you know how expensive my princess's clothes are? I can't even afford to sell you, a bitch!"
"Princess, is the skirt you are wearing a brocade? I heard that this brocade is very rare. There are not even ten pieces in the entire palace. Only the favored ladies in each palace have them."
"The imperial concubine has obtained two pieces. Are you using one of them to make clothes for the princess?"
"The imperial concubine is so kind to the princess..."
Several little girls were chattering away, their voices filled with unconcealable envy.
"That's right, my aunt said that I am no different from her biological daughter. If she has any good things, she will naturally think of me."
Their envy and jealousy made Su Linglong very useful, and she raised her chin proudly.
"This brocade is very valuable, but it was stained by tea today. This little palace lady is really short-sighted."
A little girl in blue said with regret.
Hearing this, Su Linglong's pretty face sank, and she was even more angry when she saw the little palace maid.
"You two, throw this cheap maid into the lake for me."
"Yes, Princess."
The two maids beside her immediately stepped forward, grabbed the little palace maid's arms, and dragged her towards the stone railing.
"No, no... Princess, please spare this slave!"
The little palace maid struggled hard, but unfortunately she was too thin and could not match the strength of the two palace maids.
Seeing that the little palace maid was about to be thrown into the lake, Nuobao couldn't stand it anymore.
"stop!"
Nuobao immediately rushed to stop him.
Humans are different from her. Nuobao likes to soak in water. This habit has not changed even after becoming a human.
For her, being in the water is much more comfortable than being on land.
But if humans don't know how to swim, they will drown if they fall into the water.
Moreover, Nuobao saw a sneaky head emerging from the water.
It is the water ghost in this lake who died in vain.
As long as the water ghost finds a substitute, he can escape from here.
If this little palace maid falls, she will be entangled by the water ghost and die today.
Ling Xiao was originally standing aside with his arms folded, watching this scene with cold eyes.
But Nuobao suddenly rushed forward.
Why is this little guy so nosy?
However, if Nuo Bao hadn't been soft-hearted, he would have died long ago.
Ling Xiao sighed resignedly.
Worried that Nuobao would be bullied, he had no choice but to follow him.
"Stop!" Nuobao barged straight in.
"You are not allowed to throw her away."
The two maids looked at each other and looked at Su Linglong hesitantly, waiting for the princess's instructions.
At this moment, the little palace maid quickly broke away and subconsciously ran towards Nuobao.
"This young master, please save this slave."
"Don't be afraid."
Nuobao stretched out a small hand to protect her behind him.
"Who are you to meddle in other people's business?"
Su Linglong frowned and looked Nuobao up and down.
After seeing clearly Nuobao's colorful dress.
Su Linglong's little face immediately fell, with jealousy in her eyes.
The fabric of Nuobao's skirt is soft and silky.
It looks as light as a cicada's wings, and there seems to be a faint flow of light when walking around.
Su Linglong recognized it at a glance. It was Liuguang Jin.
The Liuguang Brocade was offered as an offering by the Kingdom of Shu and was extremely rare. Even a favored concubine like Su Guifei could not get it.
I only got Yun Brocade, which was slightly worse than Liuguang Brocade.
Now seeing Nuobao wearing a dress made of Liuguang Brocade, Su Linglong was so angry that she almost went crazy.
"You are so brave!"
Before Nuobao could speak, Su Linglong launched an attack aggressively.
"Who do you think you are? You just mind your own business. How dare you not kneel down when you see this princess!"
Su Linglong's eyes were on fire and she wanted to burn through Nuobao's clothes.
Even she can only wear Yun brocade, why should this girl wear Liuguang brocade.
Can her status be as noble as hers?
