After the interstellar female general died in battle, she transmigrated into the body of a dashing p

"What if I disagree?" This kid's thoughts were written all over his face; there was no need to guess.

Even Danqin, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but curl her red lips. With a brain like that, the young master still wants to tease the princess. He has a long way to go!

Zheng Nianyun looked at her incredulously. "Why don't you want to? Aren't you afraid of being punished?"

Dozens of lashes still hurt a lot; just thinking about it made him clench his fist.

"Don't you know I'm currently under house arrest?"

Zheng Nianyun looked like he understood. No wonder she didn't want to go out. Confinement was the most common method used by those adults, but she would rather be punished with dozens of slaps than be locked up and unable to do anything.

He asked sympathetically, "Don't you find being confined to your home very difficult?" Then he added, "Are you really that obedient?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zhian no longer wanted to talk to this brat. If he had really listened, he probably wouldn't be here now.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Zheng Nianyun assumed that she was being watched by the guards outside and couldn't do anything about it. Her bright and innocent eyes darted around as she walked over to her, bent down, and said softly, "Can I take you out to play? Shall we go?"

Climbing over walls and scaling courtyards was his specialty; he was never caught while he was in the Prince's mansion.

Zheng Zhian now doesn't know whether to call him stupid or naive; does he think the palace guards are just for show?

"Don't go."

The more she refused, the more Zheng Nianyun wanted to drag her along. He straightened up, put his hands behind his back, and slowly paced around, threatening, "Anyway, if you don't play with me today, I'll follow you and go tell the Emperor."

Zheng Zhian rubbed his forehead, stood up with a cold face, and said, "Whatever." Then he walked out on his own.

She had originally planned to ignore him and wait for him to get bored so he would leave. Who would have thought that this guy was such a troublemaker? While she was reading, Zheng Nianyun was knocking on her books.

She could just go to sleep, right? If she couldn't afford to offend him, she could at least avoid him. But he didn't give her a chance at all, insisting on rambling on and on about random things.

It's like a stubborn plaster, completely unreasonable.

Zheng Zhian, having exhausted his patience, looked at him with a resigned attitude and said, "If you can't get out, you can go back to the palace by yourself."

"Deal." Zheng Nianyun immediately turned around, picked her up, and carried her to a corner of the wall. He then took a deep breath and left the courtyard. However, he overestimated his strength.

Upon landing, both of them were breathless and fell to the ground. Just as they were about to make intimate contact with the soil, Zheng Zhian immediately covered his head with his hands to protect it.

duang~

After several rolls, I didn't feel the pain I had imagined.

Zheng Zhian lowered his hand, got up from Zheng Nianyun, and frowned as he looked at the boy on the ground. "You still want to play?"

"Just playing around, what's the big deal if I fall down?" Zheng Nianyun stood up arrogantly and brushed the dirt off his body.

He reacted quickly and wasn't seriously injured; it was just a fall, and the pain was nothing to him.

Zheng Zhian now seriously suspects that those imperial guards were incompetent, having entered through back channels! He had originally thought that once they got here, they would be caught by the guards and the matter would be over. He never expected that despite such a commotion, not a single imperial guard would come.

Two imperial guards in the distance exchanged a glance, and one of them headed towards the imperial study.

Their initial orders were simply to guard Muyun Palace and prevent unauthorized personnel from entering, not to imprison her as rumored. As for where the princess was going, they indeed had no right to stop her.

After standing there for a while without anyone coming, Zheng Nianyun looked at her smugly and said, "Let's go." Although it was his first time entering the palace, he was still familiar with the guards' methods of guarding the gate. He had just deliberately chosen a spot far away from the gate, so he was sure he wouldn't be discovered.

Seeing that the little one didn't move, Zheng Nianyun stepped forward, grabbed her sleeve, and casually chose a direction to walk. The shadow guards in the shadows discussed for a moment and decided to send someone to inform the Emperor. Yingyi and Danqin, on the other hand, went about their business in the courtyard without worry.

With Prince Yun's limited wit, it's a miracle he wasn't fooled by the princess.

Zheng Zhian looked up at the red palace walls, filled with resentment, then turned and glanced at him sideways, "Where do you think you're going?"

"Didn't you take me sightseeing?" Zheng Nianyun retorted matter-of-factly.

Zheng Zhian considered all the places in the palace. Since she was still under house arrest, she decided it was best not to go to crowded places. She then came up with a suitable place in her mind.

With a wave of her hand, she said, "Then you can come with me."

The two walked along a winding path for almost half an hour without arriving at their destination. Zheng Nianyun stopped impatiently and asked, "Where are you taking me?"

They walked along narrow, secluded paths, without a single person in sight.

"We're almost there." Zheng Zhian crossed his arms and looked at him teasingly. "Weren't you going to visit the palace? We're here now, didn't you notice?"

Zheng Nianyun pointed back and forth, his eyes filled with intense doubt.

Zheng Zhian nodded, turned around and continued walking, a smile playing on his lips. "Little rascal!"

After turning a corner, Zheng Nianyun felt that her view opened up.

The plum trees, still covered in snow, had their bright red petals, clinging to their branches, fluttering down to the ground, creating a scene of indescribable, chilling beauty.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a scene, yet he still pouted and said, "You're just showing me this?"

"Didn't you ask me to lead the way?" Zheng Zhian walked into the forest path. "This place is enough for you to explore for an entire afternoon."

She glanced at him and saw that he still had a disdainful expression. She asked with a smile, "Do you really want people to find out that I came out on my own?"

Having her intentions exposed, Zheng Nianyun stopped pretending. She walked to a plum tree, picked up a handful of petals, and quickly followed ahead, opening her hand above her head.

When Zheng Zhian sensed someone behind her, she turned around and was met with a shower of flower petals. She frowned instinctively.

The lingering, refreshing plum blossom fragrance on the tip of my nose makes this playful act somewhat acceptable.

The two laughed and joked all the way. Zheng Nianyun, who had been holding Zheng Zhian's neck with one hand, suddenly raised her hand and covered Zheng Zhian's mouth, "Shh."

With a wary look to his left front, Zheng Zhian had already grabbed his right little finger and was about to exert force when he was stopped by his movement and looked in the direction of his gaze.

Through the intertwined plum trees, they could vaguely see two women dressed as imperial concubines walking in their direction.

Zheng Zhian immediately signaled to the people behind him to hide behind the artificial hill.

They could have easily blocked them out, but the two were getting closer and closer. If they continued to stand there, they would definitely be seen. Zheng Zhian gestured for them to go into the narrow space in the middle. That way, even if they passed by, they wouldn't be noticed unless they looked carefully outside.

But when Zheng Nianyun stepped inside, she discovered that the room was narrow at the bottom and wide at the top. Helpless, she had to lift the little figure outside, raise her left leg, and place her foot against the stone surface so that she could sit on her lap.

Just as I finished doing everything, I heard a noise outside.

"Sister Yuepin has been enjoying a wonderful time lately!"

The sarcasm in their words was undisguised. Judging from their voices, Zheng Zhian immediately guessed the identities of the two people outside and muttered to himself, "What did Consort Yue do to upset Jiang Yingying again?"

Now, who in the entire harem dares to provoke her? Putting aside her current status, she used to be arrogant and liked to pick fights with lower-ranking concubines whenever she was unhappy. Apart from those who were her equals, who would dare to mess with her?

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty did not."

Jiang Yingying stopped and turned to look at the trembling woman in front of her. With her slender, nail-painted fingers, she traced the woman's delicate face, then gently lifted her chin. "Really? I think your beauty has only grown more radiant. You're just as stunning as the Empress of yesteryear!"
