Chapter 115: Man-Eating Carp
Chapter 115: Man-Eating Carp
"That's His Royal Highness Prince Chen." The maidservant next to the Princess of Yan said to the Princess in the direction of Chen Shaoyi.
Yan Moli turned her head to look in the direction of Chen Shaoyi, only to see him talking and laughing with Yuan Niao Niao. The Prince of Chen, the man she had fallen in love with after only seeing his portrait and thinking about day and night, had long been heard to be cold and distant by nature, but now it seems that he and the Princess of Chen are in harmony, not as cold as the rumors said. Princess of Chen, you look okay, but you can sit in the position of Princess of Chen, and this princess wants a prince consort!
Feeling the strong gaze, Yuan Niaoniao turned her head and met Yan Moli's eyes. Yan Moli looked like she was determined to catch her prey. Yuan Niaoniao approached Chen Shaoyi and said, "Shaoyi, do you think the princess is looking at you?"
Chen Shaoyi raised his head and glanced at Yan Moli when he heard this, then turned to Yuan Niao Niao and said, "Looking at you, maybe he is jealous that you are prettier than her."
"You just love to talk nonsense." Yuan Niaoniao always laughs at Chen Shaoyi's serious nonsense. "She's just looking at you, why is it me? If her eyes were arrows, you would be pierced by thousands of arrows right now."
"Then I won't show it to her." Chen Shaoyi turned his back to block Yan Moli's gaze, and then looked at Niao Niao proudly.
"I really can't do anything about you." Niao Niao shook her head and smiled. But she didn't pay much attention to Princess Yan's gaze. "How long do you think it will take for Han Junyi to realize that Han Junwu is missing?"
"It's really hard to guess what Uncle Rong is thinking. He originally intended to assassinate me today, but he ended up taking another risky move. Plus, we haven't been in touch for many years, so I can't guess what Uncle Rong is thinking for the moment." Chen Shaoyi shook his head and said.
"That's right." Yuan Niaoniao took a sip of the fruit wine out of boredom. "Then tonight's banquet will be another ordinary banquet. I'm a little bored."
"If Niao Niao feels bored, let's go." Chen Shaoyi stood up immediately after saying this, holding Niao Niao's hand, "Let's go out for a walk."
"Okay." Niao Niao also stood up and let Chen Shaoyi lead the way away.
Of course, Jin Jingni also noticed the movements of the two, but now that she was attacked from all sides, she could no longer care about her love affair. After all, if her position was lost, no one in the world would respect her, not to mention the King of Chen. So she just took a quick look and turned her head to focus on the movements of Han Junyi and Zhao Ping. After thinking about it, it would be better to take the initiative to attack instead of waiting for death, so she stood up and walked towards Zhao Ping with a wine glass.
"Jingni pays respects to Princess Zhaoping." Jin Jingni took the initiative to step forward and talk to Zhaoping.
"You are Princess Yi." Zhaoping smiled. Before coming to Dadu, she had already memorized all the current relationships among the people in Dadu.
"Princess, you have good eyesight." Jin Jingni smiled flatteringly, "The prince is busy right now, and I think the princess seems a little bored. I guess she is tired of these singing and dancing performances. If the princess doesn't mind, I can take the princess for a walk, so as to show my hospitality as a host."
"Okay, then I'll trouble Princess Yi." Although Zhao Ping didn't know why Jin Jingni approached her, she was indeed a little bored. There were too many people in this hall.
Feng saw Jin Jingni taking the initiative to approach Princess Zhaoping, so he whispered a few words in Han Junyi's ear, and then followed the two from a distance.
"Princess, please come this way." Jin Jingni brought Zhao Ping to a more secluded corridor in the palace.
"Princess Yi is really good at choosing places." Zhao Ping looked around and it was indeed much quieter here.
"Princess, you are too kind." Jin Jingni smiled slightly and subtly asked Zhao Ping, "Princess, are you here to form a marriage alliance with Dadu this time?"
Zhao Ping was so smart that she immediately understood what Jin Jingni meant. "This princess is only following the order of my father to represent the Dai Kingdom as an envoy."
"I see. Most of us have many good men. If the princess is interested, I will do my best to help them find a good match." Jin Jingni was secretly happy, but she did not show it on her face. "If the princess still needs anything, please just ask. Prince Yi's Mansion will definitely help you with all its strength."
"Then I would like to thank Princess Yi first." Zhao Ping smiled, but there was a barely perceptible gleam in his eyes.
Feng in the dark also heard the conversation between the two. Princess Yi was really smart. She set her eyes on Princess Zhaoping so quickly, as if she could predict the prince's thoughts.
Afterwards, Jin Jingni took Princess Zhaoping to the Wanli Pond and introduced it as they walked: "This is the Wanli Pond that is famous all over the world. There are more than 10,000 carps here, so it is named Wanli Pond. In short, all the species that can be named can be found in this Wanli Pond."
Zhao Ping sat down beside the pond with great interest: "This Yellow River carp is indeed the best among all carps. Only its scales are golden yellow, which looks really beautiful. Moreover, it is even more golden under the bright lights at night. Moreover, its meat is firm and tastes extremely delicious. It is a top-quality food."
"Princess Zhaoping is also a carp lover. She is so familiar with the famous fish in our city, the Yellow River carp." Jin Jingni flattered with a smile.
"I only learned some knowledge by chance. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Princess Yi." Zhao Ping said calmly.
"If the princess likes the Yellow River carp, I can order people to select a few of the best quality ones and send them to Dai State. I will also send a special breeder to Dai State to ensure that the Yellow River carp is still alive and well when it arrives in Dai State." Jin Jingni said.
"Zhao Ping would like to thank Princess Yi for being so generous." Zhao Ping smiled. Princess Yi was really interesting. She first tricked him into thinking something, and then gave him a gift. What on earth was she trying to do?
Seeing that the two had no other conversation, Feng went back to report to Han Junyi.
"Oh? The princess took Princess Zhaoping out." Han Junyi's eyes revealed a hint of deep meaning. It was not the first time that Jin Jingni had brought him unexpected actions, but he did not know what she knew this time, or whether she just wanted to exercise her power as a princess to satisfy her own pleasure.
"Send someone to keep an eye on them." Han Junyi paused, then continued, "Especially Princess Zhaoping. We must not let anything happen to her."
"Yes." Feng took the order and left.
At this time, Zhao Ping and Jin Jingni were walking along the Wanli Pond.
"This Wanli Pond is so beautiful!" Zhao Ping exclaimed.
"If Princess likes it, you can come often in the future." Jin Jingni responded enthusiastically.
Zhao Ping smiled slightly and thought: If I come here often, I will marry in Dadu. It's really interesting. She turned to look at Jin Jingni and asked, "Has Princess Yi ever heard of a magical carp?"
"Oh? What carp?" Jin Jingni asked curiously.
"It is said that there is a kind of carp that can grow as tall as a human, and carp also eats people!" Zhaoping said mysteriously.
Jin Jingni opened her eyes wide in surprise: "I've never heard of such a big carp!?"
"I just heard about it." Zhao Ping said, "If there really is such a big carp, it can be said to be a man-eating fish."
Jin Jingni nodded in agreement, and then she moved closer to take a closer look at the koi in the pond. As she looked, she murmured to herself, "It would be great if there really were such man-eating carp." A sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Zhaoping couldn't help but feel a little scared when looking at Jin Jingni like this. Is it possible that Princess Yi is suffering from hysteria?
The two of them happened to run into Yuan Niaoniao and Chen Shaoyi who were strolling around. Although they seemed to be strolling around, they were actually looking at where the Jinwu Guards were distributed in the dark.
"This is Prince Chen and Princess Chen." Zhao Ping said as he looked towards the two people walking towards him.
"Greetings, Princess Zhaoping." Yuan Niaoniao nodded slightly as a greeting.
Zhao Ping smiled slightly: "Princess Chen and Prince Chen are also bored?"
"Yes, the singing and dancing are too noisy, so I came out for a walk and some fresh air," Yuan Niaoniao still smiled faintly.
"This princess also feels a little stuffy." Zhao Ping said with a smile.
Chen Shaoyi smiled faintly at Jin Jingni and Zhao Ping, then took Yuan Nianiao away.
"The relationship between the Prince and Princess is really good." Zhao Ping looked at their departing backs and said thoughtfully. "It turns out that His Royal Highness Prince Chen is as cold as the rumors say."
"Yeah." Jin Jingni responded, but was thinking about other things.
"It's getting late, and I'm a little tired, so I'll take my leave now." Zhao Ping said, and left with the servants. "Zhao Ping can go back by herself, Princess Yi doesn't have to see you off."
"Then Princess, please have a good rest." Jin Jingni said.
After watching Zhao Ping leave, Jin Jingni's face turned gloomy.
"Looks like I have to speed up..." she whispered to herself.
