As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 180 What crime should you be punished for?

"It's a bit ostentatious..."

I'll have to look for another mount later.

The gorgeous bird landed on the ground, and Mingchen gently patted Fuyao's neck.

The phoenix's figure transformed and turned into a little red bird.

"Brother~"

The next moment, before Mingchen walked into the house.

The figure flashed by and flew accurately into Mingchen's arms.

The well-behaved child waited for him obediently from beginning to end, and always found him the first time he came back.

'The insect turns into a butterfly.'

"Insects will eventually become butterflies..."

The words of the mysterious old lady I met on the way south kept echoing in my mind.

"Shy Butterfly~ I'm back!"

Mingchen narrowed his eyes and stroked the child's hair: "Are you well behaved at home?"

"Ok!"

The child let go of Mingchen and nodded slightly.

Seeing the autistic child become what he is now, Mingchen felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

"Hey, Yunyao is here too."

The two children are a pair.

Yun Yao was standing aside, quietly watching Mingchen and Xiudie without saying a word.

"Where's my sister?"

Mingchen wanted to use the small head to control the big head.

The child raised his head and said to Mingchen, "Sister, you are leading the army north."

It would be such a waste for the general to stay here to defend the city.

There was no way Xiao Xinyue would leave Ling Yu, such a powerful general, unused, so she sent her out to deal with some tough guys.

Ling Yu herself wasn't a traditional lady from a wealthy family; the sight of bloodshed on the battlefield stirred her blood. Since Mingchen was away from home, being locked up in Linguang was boring, so she naturally enjoyed it.

Mingchen: ...

Okay, Sister Dai has also learned to lie, right?

You said you'd wait for me at home, where are you?!

When we meet, I'm going to give you a good beating!

Ling Yu, who was far away on the front line of the battlefield, shivered for some reason and felt as if he was being targeted by something unclean.

"Okay~"

He sighed softly and let go of his regret.

He produced two sachets and gave one to Xiudie and Yunyao respectively: "This is a gift."

Qifeng City may not have much else, but it is rich in spices. This sachet is really good.

Xiudie's eyes lit up and she accepted the gift: "Thank you, brother~"

She actually doesn't care what the gift is or whether it is expensive.

It would be fine even if Mingchen brought back a stone for her.

What’s important is that this means Mingchen is thinking about her and caring about her, and this feeling makes her happy.

"..."

Yun Yao was a little stunned.

"Take it~"

Facing Mingchen's gaze, she paused, then reached out to take it.

"Mine, mine, mine~"

Suddenly, a nagging voice came to my ears.

The peach branches planted in the flowerpot were trembling slightly, and the peach blossoms that were closed at first were now in full bloom.

The pollen spreads with the wind and turns into a beauty.

He approached Mingchen without any hesitation and asked for it with a smile.

Mingchen: ...

"I'm sorry I forgot about you."

"Ah~"

"How can you be so partial, sir?"

"Official~"

"My dear, I want one too. I want one too~"

There’s no emotion, it’s all technique.

The peach blossoms are blooming behind the brothel, it seems they have learned a lot.

She breathed towards Mingchen, her voice sweet and charming.

If ordinary people heard what she said, they would probably be willing to give her their souls.

This guy didn't transform at all.

The current appearance is an illusion created using pollen and magic.

This was also the reason why Fuyao couldn't attack her before.

Mingchen didn't know what to give her.

"This is a red crystal unique to the south. Should I bury it in the soil for you?"

"Hee hee~"

"Okay, okay~ Sir, I love you~"

Mingchen: ...

The little green snake poked its head out from Mingchen's sleeve and looked at the unfamiliar scenery.

There are other monsters in the yard, and they get along so well with Mingchen.

It couldn't help but feel a little emotional, this young man was indeed a special person.

"Long Lian, you're welcome, just treat it like your own home!"

"Fuyao will introduce everyone to you later."

"Um...thank you, sir."

This was Mingchen and Lingyu's home when they came to Linguang. Mingchen came back and tidied up a bit, but he didn't have time to sit down yet.

“Mingchen!!!”

"You're back?!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside the door.

Now, the most distinguished person in the southwest strode in.

After seeing that the person she had been thinking about for a long time was indeed here, Xiao Xinyue couldn't help but smile with relief.

This person finally came back.

Mingchen was stunned and looked up at the person who came.

The next moment, he narrowed his eyes, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hey, Your Highness, how are you?"

It was as if he was just meeting a friend, without any respect at all.

"Have you missed me?" This lecher, this playboy!

Xiao Xinyue suddenly paused in her tracks, all sorts of emotions rising from the depths of her heart. She tried hard to suppress them, glaring at the man: "No!!!"

This unlucky guy, I haven’t seen him for some time since I went south.

But nothing has changed.

The worst kind is just teasing people.

"You guys go down first!"

Xiao Xinyue frowned and waved at the two maids behind her who were trying to hold back their laughter, signaling them to leave.

"Yes!" x2
His Highness only shows this side of himself when facing Lord Ming.

Seeing the princess coming to talk to Mingchen, Fuyao's eyes flashed, as if she thought of something, and flew towards Tao Yaoyao.

"There's none?"

"That's such a pity!"

"During the time Chen was in the south, he missed His Highness every moment!"

Xiao Xinyue is not Ling Yu, and she doesn't fall for Mingchen's clumsy pity tricks.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but give this person a blank look: "You'd better tell the truth!"

As a noble princess, she was not angry at being teased by a little hooligan. Instead, she felt a little happy for no reason.

The princess also possessed some imperial skills, and her emotions were not visible on her face, so no one could guess what she was thinking.

"Of course, Chen never lies!"

Mingchen raised his hand and said confidently.

"Humph!"

You are telling lies all the time. I will never believe you!

"Your Highness~ Chen is not around. Did you not get enough rest and eat well?"

"Don't be like your brother. What is a minister for? Just let me do some work!"

"You've starved and exhausted my Highness!"

The bold man came forward and gently pinched the princess's face: "Tell me, what crime should you be punished for?!"

"you you you!"

So brave!

This Dengtuzi, as a minister, dared to ask the king "what crime should be punished?"

In this world, only this person dares to treat her like this.

It's so casual that it's out of the ordinary, but it also implies concern.

The princess' eyes widened, her heartbeat quickened for no apparent reason, and she glared at him fiercely: "How dare you!"

The blush spread from the sides of her cheeks, making the majestic leader look a little more charming.

Xiao Xinyue couldn't figure out the chaotic thoughts in her mind, but she knew that she was very happy now.

"Hey~"

Mingchen said with a smile: "Is this the first day you've met Chen, Your Highness?"

"Has Your Highness eaten yet?"

"Forehead……"

Does taking two bites of the steamed bun count as eating it?

Xiao Xinyue hurried over, actually wanting to confirm Mingchen's safety before continuing to discuss state affairs. However, after Mingchen interrupted her, she could only agree with him: "No."

"Then why don't you eat with Chen?"

"it is good!"

"Your Highness, the emperor is also a human being. He needs to eat and rest."

"I don't want the person I choose to end up like Your Majesty, exhausting himself to the point of looking like that..."

Mingchen spoke ill of the deceased Xiao Zhengyang behind his back without any scruples.

Xiao Xinyue paused, but she wasn't angry at all. She just nodded slightly: "Yeah."

Mingchen came back exhausted, but he didn't show off his skills by pretending to cook something. He just asked the servants to make something simple and had a simple meal with Xiao Xinyue.

"Mingchen, are you having a safe journey?"

"You're not injured, are you?"

"Did the alliance negotiations go smoothly?"

After finishing her meal, Xiao Xinyue couldn't wait to ask Mingchen.

"Don't worry, don't worry~"

Compared to the anxious princess, Mingchen was very calm. He took out a sachet and placed it in her hand: "Your Highness, this is a gift."

"Forehead……"

The rich aroma spreads out from the sachet.

Xiao Xinyue paused. This thing was not expensive, but... very special.

She held the sachet and nodded slightly: "Thank you."

"Hahaha~ Your Highness is still wearing my hairpin?"

Just then, when Mingchen raised his eyes, he saw a green wooden hairpin tied in the princess's hair.

The naturally noble princess should be adorned with the most precious jewels, and wearing this simple hairpin seems a bit out of place.

He said with a smile: "It's too simple! It's not suitable for your status. Don't wear it at the coronation ceremony."

Xiao Xinyue rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't worry about it, I'll wear it!"

Then bring the topic back: "Now answer my question!"

Mingchen shrugged: "You saw me, I'm alive and kicking, so there's nothing wrong."

There were some unexpected things that happened during the trip to Qifeng City, but fortunately nothing serious happened.

The princess should just focus on fighting for hegemony and governing the country, and Mingchen doesn't want to talk to her about these things.

"As for the alliance with the Blood-Cloaked Army..."

Xiao Xinyue leaned closer to him, looking at him intently: "How is it?"

Just like a cat teased by a small fish.

The relationship with the Blood-Clothed Army will determine her next plans and layout, which is very important.

Looking at the unlucky guy who was deliberately dragging his words and keeping people in suspense, Xiao Xinyue swore that she really wanted to beat him up.

Mingchen smiled and said, "Of course it's done."

"It's done?!"

"Hahaha!"

"Great!"

Mingchen is worthy of being Mingchen, from the time I met him until now.

Although he is often casual, frivolous, and deceitful, he always completes what he promised!
Xiao Xinyue smiled and kept praising Mingchen, "You are such a genius!"

Mingchen was able to reach a peace agreement with Wang Huai because he was Mingchen.

Mingchen found it easy to talk and cooperate with Wang Huai.

Try someone else?

No one on Xiao Xinyue's side had the confidence to go to the Blood Clothes Army to complete the negotiations.

"Maybe."
