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

Chapter 85 New Investment Target Emerges

Xiao Xinyue is very curious about Mingchen.

She had never seen anyone like Mingchen before.

So young, yet so special.

Compared with Xiao Zhengyang's cautiousness, she had no scruples and thoroughly investigated Mingchen's information.

He was able to make this unknown restaurant become popular in a short period of time and create stories that were beyond imagination.

He was so young, yet he easily defeated outstanding people from all over the country, passed the imperial examination, and won the first place.

He was summoned by his father and provoked the Red Feather Guard, but returned safely.

He obtained the official position before taking the palace examination.

I heard recently that... he went to the Observatory, and then the Imperial Master fell.

……

The more I learn about it, the more I can’t help but marvel at this special person and can’t help but be curious.

One by one, one by one...how can an ordinary person do this?
This person seems like a vortex of mystery, full of secrets.

It makes one want to spy on him.

What was he thinking about?
What does he want to do?
What can he bring to Qianyuan?
Just a few words that day untied her heart knot and reshaped her life.

She knew that this playful and frivolous boy with a smile on his face was destined to be extraordinary.

At the same time, she also had a question.

Can such a person really work peacefully for an emperor like my father?

"Don't talk nonsense, Your Highness. How dare I say that?"

This should be what the princess really looks like.

When the melancholic beauty took off her clothes, her intelligence, self-confidence, and boldness... emerged.

The fragrant breeze blew towards me, and the beautiful woman's pretty face became a little bigger in front of me.

Mingchen could naturally feel the prince's surveillance from those bright eyes.

He raised his hands and said as if begging for mercy.

In a sense, the princess really saw through it.

When he was in the Crown Prince's Mansion before, he didn't care about this princess at all.

"Ha~"

"Yeah~"

Xiao Xinyue rolled her eyes at him.

Just look at whether I believe it or not and you’re done.

Although she missed him twice, she managed to meet Mingchen a few times and they could be considered friends.

Mingchen has a characteristic when talking and chatting, that is, he does not distinguish between noble and low status.

Even to the noble emperor, he could arrogantly say bold words, and he was not polite to the noble princess and prince.

Some people don't like it, some people like it.

Coincidentally, Xiao Xinyue is the type of person he likes.

From childhood to adulthood, she has not come into contact with many people. Apart from her loving royal brother and her majestic father, the rest of the people are basically humble and flattering, at least in front of her.

She is a member of the royal family and is naturally in a different class from others.

Only this person broke the constraints of the rules, was casual and even a little rude, and spoke to her rudely.

This is also very special.

Of course, this was just her feeling. If someone else had talked to her like this, they might have been dragged away long ago.

When a person is interested in another person, he will find that he is special in every way.

"Sir, I know something that concerns you. If you beg me, I will tell you."

Xiao Xinyue put down her wine glass and looked at Mingchen with a smile.

Since Mingchen was rude to her, she didn't need to be bound by conventional etiquette towards him.

She wouldn't come to Mingchen to chat about family matters for no reason, as that would seem too deliberate. Basically, every time she came, she had something to say.

She was in a good mood today. All her good mood came from this news.

"I beg you~"

"Your Highness, please tell me."

Although Mingchen had already guessed what the news was, he simply followed Xiao Xinyue's wishes, bowed comically, and made an exaggerated request.

This man surrendered so quickly, without even struggling, that Xiao Xinyue was stunned for a moment.

She reacted immediately and couldn't help but glare at him.

You'd better really beg me!

This guy, how can an official be like this?
He is very eloquent and doesn't speak in a very polite manner at all.

Xiao Xinyue shook her head helplessly, but didn't play tricks: "Sir, do you know that our dynasty will be sending an envoy to Beilie?"

Mingchen did not attend court, so he naturally did not know what happened in the court.

After the Crown Prince and the officials' discussions over the past few days, and with the Emperor's approval, the mission has almost been finalized.

Xiao Xinyue also got the news today and hurried to find him.

Mingchen's eyes widened, looking somewhat shocked. He couldn't help but sigh, "Is there such a thing? We're finally going to negotiate with Beilie~"

"Sir, stop pretending!"

Xiao Xinyue looked at Mingchen, who was pretending to be so pretentious, and was both angry and amused. "Don't say you don't know! You still have to go on a diplomatic mission with the envoys!"

Although Mingchen is not nominally the leader, it is strange that Mingchen's name appears in this matter.

Why would a compiler from the Hanlin Academy who couldn't even attend court be specifically chosen to go on a diplomatic mission to Beilie?
Moreover, this person was a champion who didn’t even take the palace examination.

Even a fool would know that there must be some inside story, and the compilation must be very complicated.

Xiao Xinyue even had a feeling that this editor, who held the lowest official position, might be the most important person on this mission.

This matter must have been decided a long time ago. Perhaps Mingchen was summoned to the palace because of this matter.

Mingchen is such a smart man, Xiao Xinyue doesn’t believe that he doesn’t know.

Mingchen shrugged, but didn't deny it. He just said, "This is not an easy job~"

Taking the initiative to negotiate is equivalent to surrender, and surrender comes at a price. It will be recorded in history books and criticized by future generations.

Of course, he didn't care about it as it was just a small revision.

Xiao Xinyue lowered her eyes and her smile faded a little.

This war disaster shortened the life of the Qianyuan Dynasty by at least fifty years, and she was the fuse.

What happened cannot be undone...

She thought of Mingchen's words again, shook her head, and said to Mingchen with renewed enthusiasm, "We must go together on future missions."

"Xinyue has never left Yueyang. I hope you can take good care of her along the way."

This is why she is so happy all day today.

When she learned that Mingchen was traveling with her, it was like the bright sunshine shining into the dark road.

Even if you are going to the execution ground where you may risk your life, the journey may become interesting.

"Oh?"

Mingchen raised his eyebrows and looked at the princess with interest: "Your Highness, are you going to travel with me?"

Xiao Zhengyang doesn't want to protect his sister?

It should be easy to replace the prince with a cat.

"Sir, are you unwilling?"

Mingchen smiled and said, "Your Highness, you have such a beautiful lady with you. I am not blind, how could I not want to be with you?"

New investment targets have emerged.

lecher!
Xiao Xinyue rolled her eyes at the man, but wasn't angry.

There is an essential difference between being romantic and being vulgar.

Besides... this person rarely speaks the truth, and she doesn't even know if he is sincere.
