36 Strategies for Quick Travel

Chapter 188 Watching the fire from the other side (7)

Mint waited for a while, but didn't hear any sound.

Really, it's like this every time, why every time I see her, I always have such a stranger's attitude.

But that's fine, at least after he gets to know her, his attitude towards her will be a 1-degree turn, but for other people, he is still indifferent to everyone, only to himself. Same.

Mint is still very happy about this, isn't it just a little difficult at the beginning, it doesn't matter, she has the patience to wait for him.

"I'll tell you, what's my name, and you have to tell me, what's your name?"

Mint still decided to stalk "him". Although it is not new to use this tactic every time, it is easy to resist.

"I don't know you." Shi Jueming, who was so annoyed by Mint, said indifferently to Mint.

"It doesn't matter if we didn't know each other before, but now we know each other. How can anyone know each other from the beginning? Don't we all know each other slowly?"

Mint has a familiar posture, and his words are like tongue twisters.

"I don't want to know you"

What Shi Jueming said was the truth. When he saw Mint's outfit, he knew that his status was unusual. With his status, it didn't seem like he had much contact with her, and he shouldn't have had any contact with her in the first place.

"Why don't you want to get to know me? Is it because you don't know me yet? It doesn't matter. I can tell you anything you want to know."

Mint wasn't scared off by the cold Shi Jueming at all, instead she got more courageous and was about to ask his name.

"Shi Jueming, my name"

Shi Jueming was annoyed by Mint, and thought that if Mint wanted to check him, it would be easy, so he didn't hide it, and told Mint his name.

"Shi Jueming, can I call you Xiao Ming from now on?" Mint looked at him and asked.

In fact, Mint originally planned to praise his name no matter what his name was. After all, although she is good at chatting, there must be something to talk about.

But when the word Shi Jueming came out, Mint really didn't know where to start, but Xiao Ming was the name that appeared the most in elementary school textbooks, and now I think of it, it's quite kind, but Xiao Ming should have poor academic performance. , since entering junior high school, his name has been replaced by Li Hua.

"Can't"

Shi Jueming didn't know what was going on, but felt that when Mint said the word Xiao Ming, he couldn't help laughing. Although he didn't know if he had read it wrong, he still refused reflexively.

"Ashi, decide"

In fact, Mint just said Xiaoming just for fun, and she is not too attached to the name Xiaoming. Since Shi Jueming disagrees, she can change it. Anyway, there are three words, and there are still many combinations. .

"you……"

Shi Jueming turned his head and glanced at Bohe, as if he was wondering why he couldn't just call him Shi Jueming, anyway, he was full of confusion and dissatisfaction with the name Bohe said.

"What about me, what do you want me to call you, you say, I will listen to you"

Looking at his expression, Mint felt even worse out of nowhere. Facing such a small Shi Jueming, Mint really didn't feel the heartbeat of being with Dongqing back then.

In fact, it's normal if you don't feel it. After all, Shi Jueming is only seven or eight years old now, and she is only six years old now. If she has any thoughts in her heart that she shouldn't have, then she has a real problem.

In fact, when I think about it this way, it feels good to grow up with childhood sweethearts. I have been by my side since I was a child, until they have gray hair. Thinking about it, Mint feels great.

But she forgot that now she really wanted to grow up with Shi Jueming's childhood sweetheart, but Shi Jueming didn't want to grow up with her. He just wanted to stay away from her, a noble person.

"Name, Shi Jueming"

Shi Jueming was afraid that if he didn't speak again, he didn't know what unexpected and unacceptable name he would hear from Mint's mouth, so when Mint asked him, he emphasized his name again, meaning to let Mint Just call him by name.

Shi Jueming, just these three words, not some messy Xiao Ming, A Shi, and Jue Jue, just call him by his name for Mint.

"Shi Jueming, it's okay, but I always feel that this is not friendly enough. Obviously, our relationship is very ordinary. Can you change it? This time, it's up to you, as long as it feels kind." Mint obviously disagreed with Shi Jueming's words. very satisfied.

She felt that A Shi, Jue Jue, and Xiao Ming just now were much better than calling him by his full name, but she also knew that the current Shi Jue Ming didn't have a good impression of her, so she decided to give him the decision-making power and let him For him, but not his full name——Shi Jueming.

"Shi Jueming" But Shi Jueming obviously didn't appreciate Mint's good intentions, so he reiterated.

"You are really..., alright, alright, Shi Jueming is Shi Jueming, this is what you asked me to call, don't regret it in the future"

Mint gritted his teeth, raised his fist and put it down unwillingly, and finally said only this sentence.

I let you be cold now, I gave you a chance, you didn't grasp it yourself, if you want me to change my name in the future, I will not agree to you easily, Mint thought secretly in her heart.

"Shi Jueming, who are you, why do you live here, and where is this place?" Now that the name was finalized, Mint started the next topic.

"Princess Seven, I finally found you. Why did you come here? It's getting late. No matter what you want to do, you'd better go back with me first."

As soon as Mint asked Shi Jueming what she wanted to know, Huayue who came to her suddenly appeared, breaking the conversation between Mint and Shi Jueming.

"Hua Yue, why are you here?"

Although Mint didn't welcome the sudden appearance of Huayue, she was still very curious, how did Huayue find her so quickly, since she came here indiscriminately.

"Princess Seven, I know why you came here, but this is not the place you should come. If you want to purify the noble, it is better for the emperor to send someone to invite the noble to the Jingxin Hall."

Huayue pretended to understand why Mint came here, and persuaded Mint to leave this place where she shouldn't be.

"Qing nobleman, do you mean that the Qing nobleman is also here?" Mint found out the problem from Huayue's words, and asked suspiciously.

"Princess Seven, you don't know that nobleman Qing is here." Huayue asked suspiciously.

"I didn't know before, but you told me just now," Mint replied honestly.

"Then do you know where this is?"

Huayue didn't expect that everything she thought before was wrong, but since her deduction was wrong, why did she still find her princess here based on her deduction.

"I don't know. Do you know where this is? Tell me quickly. I didn't expect such a remote place in the palace." Mint asked curiously.

"Seventh princess, this is the cold palace"

Seeing Mint's curious eyes, Huayue had to admit that she was indeed wrong, she was able to find her princess, it was just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, it was just luck.

"Lenggong is the place where concubines in the palace are imprisoned"

Mint did not expect that she would come to the cold palace by accident.

If Huayue didn't remind her, she really didn't realize that the place she was in now was the cold palace that made everyone in the palace terrified.

Although being in the cold palace is not good, it is better than being locked up in a big prison, so Mint didn't feel too sad when he heard that the nobleman Qing was locked up here, at least it seemed that there would be no threat to his life for a while.

"Princess Seven, if you want to see the nobleman Qing, you should ask the emperor for instructions before going. I am afraid that if you secretly meet the nobleman Qing, the emperor will be angry if he finds out."

Although I believe that Mint came here unintentionally, everything is an oolong of her own thinking, but since she told Mint the news that the nobleman is here, in Huayue's view, even if Mint came here by accident , then now I also want to see the nobleman Qing before going back.

Since she has been with Mint for the past few days, she found that the emperor treats the seventh princess well, that is really good. Although Mint has never made any excessive demands on the emperor, Huayue feels that if the seventh princess begs the emperor well , Acting coquettishly to the emperor, and so on, even if her princess wants to see the nobleman, it is not impossible.

But in Huayue's view, although the emperor is really kind to her princess, but as the king of a country, the emperor will not allow her princess to secretly come to see the nobleman without his permission. After all, the authority of the king of a country cannot be challenged by anyone.

Especially now, although her princess seems to be the most favored, there are many concubines, princes and princesses who come to visit or visit her princess every day, but what her princess relies on now is only the emperor's favor.

If there is no support from the emperor, her princess is not as good as a little concubine. After all, those who can enter the palace, their natal family will have something to do with it. Leaving the cold palace, her mother's family suffered a lot because of this, and they didn't have the energy to take care of Mint who was still in the palace.

So speaking of it, the status of her princess is really not as stable as it seems, so in Huayue's view, Mint can't do anything to disappoint the emperor. live in the palace.

"I don't plan to see the concubine mother, you don't have to be afraid"

Although Mint didn't know that her personal maid had clearly analyzed her current situation in such a short period of time, seeing Huayue's worried expression, Mint still spoke to comfort her.

"That's really great. Since the seventh princess doesn't plan to see the nobleman, it's not too early. Let's go back quickly. If the emperor finds out that the princess is missing, then he should be worried." Huayue said with a sigh of relief.

"It's really late today, so tomorrow I..."

Mint also knows that in this palace, one needs to be careful when doing anything, so she plans to go back today, and ask Shi Jueming to come to her after she goes back and begs the Dragon Emperor.

But Bohe was busy talking to Huayue just now, and he didn't know when Shi Jueming, who was still standing beside her, left, so when Bohe turned to talk to him, there was no one there.

"Princess, what are you talking about?"

Because when Huayue saw Mint just now, Mint happened to be turning a corner, Mint who was slower was just seen by Huayue, and Shi Jueming who was faster happened to be blocked by a high wall.

When she ran to Mint's side, Shi Jueming had heard her voice and hid, which caused Huayue to see no one else except Mint from the beginning to the end.

"It's okay, it's okay, let me ask you, besides the concubine who was thrown into limbo, is there anyone else living here?"

Mint looked again, except for her and Huayue, there was no one else in the alley, so she asked Huayue.

Although Shi Jueming ran away this time, since he knew his name, Mint believed that finding him would not be difficult.

As for the name he said, whether he made it up temporarily to deceive her, Mint never doubted what that person said to herself, even before, when they were the first time or when they were still unfamiliar, "he" Never really lied to her.

Therefore, Mint still trusts the name Shi Jueming gave her.

"I've heard others say that some people who are not convenient to move around in the palace and who are not easy to be put in prison will also be locked in this cold palace."

Although Huayue didn't understand why her princess suddenly became curious about Leng Gong, she still told Mint everything she knew.

Although Mint is still a six-year-old child, she is her master. Before she was sent to the meditation hall, she was warned that everything should be centered on the seventh princess and there should be no dissent. After getting along with each other for a few days, she felt that she could do what she said before.

And although the seventh princess is only six years old now, she sometimes feels as if she is someone older than her. She will not listen to others at will just because she is a child. Whatever, you will have your own judgment.

"So that's how it is. Okay, let's go back. By the way, do you know the way back to the Jingxin Hall?"

Mint plans to ask Huayue to help her find out who Shi Jueming is and why he is in this cold palace after she goes back.

"Slaves remember the way they came"

Huayueke is different from Mint's road-crazy attribute, she is a very directional and caring person.

Although I was anxious to find Mint before, I still took care to write down the way she came here, because I was afraid that after she found her princess, she would not be able to bring her princess back to the meditation hall safely.

Although it has been confirmed that her princess did not come to see the nobleman, but she always appeared in the Lenggong area. Even if she believed that her princess was simply lost, other people would not believe what her princess said. If she believed it in her heart, she would insist that her princess came here secretly to see the nobleman.
