NFBE Chapter 156 Golden Pastry
Chapter 156 Golden Pastry
Wenshuge
Inside the private room, Ah Zi picked up the exquisite pastries on the table and savored them in small bites, looking as if she was eating sparingly.
Bai Mohan saw it and smiled indulgently, "No need to be frugal, just let them come after we finish eating."
Hearing Bai Mohan say this, Ah Zi nodded happily. Brother Mohan is so nice...
Seeing Feng Zhaoyun didn't move, Bai Mohan put down the cup in his hand and asked, "Is it not to your Highness's taste?"
It's not that they don't get along, it's just that they are not compatible. Knowing that Bai Jinzhi didn't come, she no longer had the mood to have fun.
Feng Zhaoyun said, "Your Highness Prince Mo is indeed generous, but Your Highness should know that the cakes in the Wenshu Pavilion are the best in the Shang Kingdom, and a plate costs a hundred gold coins."
Ah Zi had just put the last piece of a plate of pastries into her mouth when she heard that the plate cost a hundred gold coins. Her chewing speed slowed down. Although she came from the valley and had never seen the world, after following Sister Ah Yun for a few days, she knew that the price of this pastry was more expensive than gold.
Jiuyi stood aside with a normal expression. She could see that her prince was planning to trick King Mo.
Bai Mohan seemed to be indifferent. After all, he was rich and powerful. As the most favored prince of Yan Kingdom, he could afford it.
Seeing that Ah Zi didn't dare to eat anymore, Bai Mohan thought this girl was cute and said in a gentle tone, "Why don't you eat anymore? What's the big deal about a hundred gold coins? Ah Zi loves to eat, so eat as much as she wants. Mohan doesn't mind that."
Ah Zi wiped her mouth embarrassedly and pushed the last piece of peach blossom cake on the plate towards Feng Zhaoyun. "Sister Ah Yun, you haven't eaten a piece yet. This cake is very expensive. You eat it. Ah Zi won't eat it anymore."
The girl was clearly afraid to eat. Unexpectedly, Bai Mohan was not frightened, but the girl was. Feng Zhaoyun softened his heart and touched Ah Zi's head. "Ah Zi, it's okay. His Highness Prince Mo has plenty of money. You can eat it."
Bai Mohan smiled after hearing this. This woman is quite good at talking.
After they sat and drank tea for a while, Ah Zi started clamoring to go shopping in the market.
The streets were very lively, and almost everyone wore masks. Young men held various lanterns given by women.
Passing by a lantern stall, Ah Zi hurried over and bought two lotus lanterns. She trotted back and handed them to Feng Zhaoyun, then whispered in her ear, "Sister Ah Yun, take them quickly and give them to Brother Mo Han."
Then he started playing with the lamp in his hand.
Feng Zhaoyun was stunned after taking it. Give it to him?
Just as she was about to refuse, Bai Mohan also walked over to her side. Ah Zi hurriedly said, "Brother Mohan, come here quickly. This is the lantern that Sister Ayun bought for you."
Jiuyi couldn't help laughing...
Feng Zhaoyun:........
Hearing A Zi say this, Bai Mohan looked at Feng Zhaoyun. Seeing that Feng Zhaoyun was unmoved, A Zi thought that her sister was embarrassed, so she pushed her, "Sister A Yun?"
Feng Zhaoyun was helpless. It was nothing more than a lamp. He said in a cold tone, "It's for you."
Bai Mohan paused for a moment and did not catch it.
Feng Zhaoyun paused in the air, feeling a little embarrassed when he refused to take it. It was good enough that she was giving it to him, but he didn't want it? She was furious and was about to throw it away.
Bai Mohan stretched out his bony hand and took the lotus lantern. When Feng Zhaoyun touched his hand, her fingers shrank. It was so cold...
Seeing him take it, Feng Zhaoyun walked forward without looking back.
Bai Mohan stood there, lantern in hand, watching her back. His momentary pause wasn't because he disliked lotus flowers, but because he truly loved them. Others only knew he liked gold and cranes, but not lotus flowers. And since this lantern was a gift from her, he was simply stunned by his own happiness.
There were many children of officials visiting today, and Feng Zhaoyun was recognized by a group of men from official families who had seen her before before she had gone far.
I only heard a voice from the crowd, "It's Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
When the people around heard this, they gathered together in large numbers, all wanting to see what the princess looked like.
People who knew her and those who didn't surrounded her. Those who knew her wanted to get close to her, and those who didn't know her wanted to join in the fun.
People immediately crowded over, and Jiuyi quickly protected his own prince.
Ah Zi was pushed around by the crowd, and with a cry of "Ah", she disappeared.
Feng Zhaoyun glanced back, feeling anxious, and quickly said, "Jiuyi, go check on Ah Zi."
Jiuyi was about to refuse when Bai Mohan suddenly grabbed Feng Zhaoyun's shoulders and said, "Go ahead, Your Highness. I will protect you."
Then, without waiting for Jiuyi's consent, Bai Mohan picked up Feng Zhaoyun, performed a few exercises in Qinggong, and jumped out of the crowd. After a few silhouettes, he disappeared, and the secret guards beside him hurriedly followed.
Jiuyi rushed towards the crowd, picked up the fallen A Zi, and left the crowd.
Bai Mohan brought Feng Zhaoyun to an alley with few people. Feng Zhaoyun was held by him. Seeing that there was no one around, she gently pushed him and said, "Put me down."
Bai Mohan looked down at her, but did not obey.
Feng Zhaoyun saw that he didn't move, but just stared at her, and was about to get angry...
Bai Mohan gently put her down, then asked, "Why does Your Highness dislike me so much?"
Feng Zhaoyun was about to walk towards the street when he paused. This was the first time he asked himself this question so directly. Feng Zhaoyun did not turn around. "You are a bandit in my Shang country, hurting my people and Yun Jin. Why should I like you?"
Hearing this answer, Bai Mohan lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly, "It was your Shang State's bandits and the inaction of the officials who harmed your people. If the bandit leader wasn't me, you can trust me, the consequences would be even more serious. Without my control, the bandits would have killed people wantonly, and the people would have had no time to hide in the city for refuge. I was only trying to gain intelligence about your Shang State. As for my brother, I helped him become a prince again and didn't hurt him. Isn't he fine now? If that's the case, do you still hate me?"
Hearing this answer, Feng Zhaoyun was at a loss for words for a moment, but... He was cruel and ruthless, and was truly not a good match. "Then I don't like you either. I advise you to be sensible and go back to be a good prince. I will propose to His Majesty to cancel the engagement."
Feng Zhaoyun was about to leave after she finished speaking, but Bai Mohan took a few steps forward and pushed her against the wall.
Feng Zhaoyun was shocked. This guy was so skilled in martial arts, yet he couldn't do anything to him...
The surrounding secret guards suddenly emerged from the darkness, drew their swords, and pointed them directly at Bai Mohan.
Bai Mohan was so close to her that Feng Zhaoyun would kiss his lips as soon as she raised her head...
Although surrounded, he seemed unconcerned. Bai Mohan said softly, "Your Highness, how could you treat me like this? Can't you try to like me?"
Feng Zhaoyun looked at his handsome face with an indifferent expression, "How can I like you with all your behavior?"
Bai Mohan smiled gently and moved closer, their lips almost touching.
Seeing Bai Mohan getting closer, the swords of the surrounding secret guards also moved closer.
Bai Mohan ignored the secret guard's sword. His slender eyes looked at her lips and he said softly, "But doesn't Your Highness always lie to me for fun? Isn't that right? Hundred gold cakes, cakes, how are you going to repay this debt?"
After saying that, I wanted to kiss her...
The secret guard didn't know whether to cut it or not...
