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

Chapter 90 Father, I can no longer obey you.

Her long hair was combed into a ponytail and fluttered in the wind.

The gorgeous and bright woman was wearing a red and white robe, sitting on a horse, her eyes as bright as stars.

She is heroic, unparalleled, and her natural nobility makes her particularly dazzling.

Good princess, so beautiful.

She came forward and looked at Mingchen with a smile, interrupting Zhongdeng and Xiaodeng's hypocritical politeness.

To put it nicely, she was the accompanying imperial princess on this trip, but to put it bluntly, she was the bargaining chip representing Qian Yuan's sincerity.

Among these people, her future is the most uncertain.

She might have to pay for the life of the envoy who died three years ago, or she might be imprisoned in Beilie as a hostage... Considering her beauty, they might even become her relatives by marriage.

Once she sets foot on Beilie’s land, it will be difficult for her to come back.

But now, she looked refreshed, even a little happy, and didn't seem to be frightened by the uncertain future.

Dong Jingming glanced at her, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

This woman is indeed beautiful.

Pity……

In formal occasions, Mingchen was not as frivolous as he was in private.

He bowed towards Xiao Xinyue and said with a smile: "Your Highness, how are you?"

"Hahaha, Lord Ming and His Highness are acquainted!"

Dong Jingming said with a smile: "That saves me from introducing myself."

"Now that everyone is here, let's go!"

……

The prosperous capital city gradually faded away, and the hustle and bustle was gone.

The capital city is indeed comfortable, with people listening to music in brothels and having fun, but it gets boring if you stay there for too long.

Mingchen is still looking forward to this business trip at public expense.

He also wanted to go abroad to see if he could encounter any interesting things, or pick up a monster or something.

The envoy team included civil officials and many gifts. Unlike Ling Yu, they were not lightly traveled and their progress was slow.

Mingchen slowly withdrew his gaze from the capital and returned to the horse in front of him.

Damn!

Ling Yu really made fun of him.

I haven't ridden for three months and I feel rusty again.

He still wasn't very good at riding this thing, not as good as one of his little birds.

But he also didn't like riding in a carriage. He felt the atmosphere in the carriage was very stuffy and it would be better to ride a horse.

"Hehehe~ Mingchen, are you... not good at riding horses?"

Silver bell-like laughter came from my ears, and a fragrant breeze blew on my face.

The princess looked at him with a smile, a hint of mockery in her eyes.

She had not left the capital for more than 20 years. This time when she left the city to die, she was like a butterfly that had broken free from its shackles, dancing gracefully and freely.

The air outside the cage seemed fresher.

She has been diligent and hardworking since she was young, so she naturally knows how to ride a horse. Her horsemanship is much better than Mingchen, who is a mediocre one.

Do all pretty girls like to make fun of this?
Mingchen rolled his eyes: "This horse is too fierce!"

"Yeah~"

Xiao Xinyue is much more reserved, not as bold as Sister Shaxing.

She just curled her eyes and smiled, without exposing his stubbornness.

"Mingchen, do you know martial arts? Can you use a sword?"

Xiao Xinyue has always been interested in Mingchen, and this curiosity has never diminished.

She looked at the sword on Mingchen's waist and kept asking questions.

Can he also fight?
She had always thought that this man was a weak scholar.

This man is like a mystery, full of secrets.

"With a sword?"

Mingchen shook his head, lowered his head and gently stroked the scabbard: "I don't know how to use a sword." He looked towards the north, and that dazed face seemed to be right in front of him.

The news reached the capital, and it seemed that the man had done quite well.

The killer star has already made a name for himself.

People may find it hard to believe that the mysterious general who created victory after victory and gave Qianyuan hope... is the greedy girl who likes to drink, the unrestrained and generous girl, and the silly girl who doesn't know how to defend herself when slandered.

Some aspects of Ling Yu were changed by him, but some of her own charms would not be changed.

Mingchen lowered his eyes and said with a smile: "But someone will use it."

I didn't expect it~
Brother, I'm here again~
……

"Have you set off yet?"

In the Prince's Mansion, Xiao Zhengyang sat in the yard, looking at the sky quietly. A white bird flapped its wings and flew away into the distance. The note in his hand was torn to pieces and drifted away with the wind.

Qianyuan’s envoys set off today, and Mingchen and his sister also set off.

My sister met that magical person by chance.

I guess the changes in her over the past few months are also because of that person.

Although Mingchen's tone towards Xiao Xinyue was not polite at all during their first conversation, Xiao Zhengyang is not worried now. He feels that the other party will save his sister's life.

Instead, he himself...

What should he do?

As Mingchen said, he certainly knew the path to great success.

There are some things that he can't do, but that he doesn't want to do.

Because he doesn't like taking risks, he just wants everything to be done smoothly and naturally. After his father's death, he should naturally inherit the throne, carry out his ambitions, and appoint talented people.

But now, he couldn't wait any longer. His father had no intention of leaving him alive.

"Sir, how long can I live?"

He stretched out his hand and looked at his slender fingers quietly.

In the past, he was diligent in government affairs and thought that the pressure in his heart was caused by fatigue. However, now he can clearly feel that his life is slipping away bit by bit.

How to do?
He is the crown prince, he cannot rely on others for everything. He needs to find his own way forward.

He looked at his palms quietly and slowly clenched them.

"Father, I can no longer obey you."

He actually doesn't care much about his own life or death, he just can't let go of his country.

If the emperor is truly a wise and capable monarch, and if he can truly help Qianyuan become prosperous and strong, then why wouldn't Xiao Zhengyang just give him this life?

But no!

Who is responsible for Qianyuan's current precarious situation? Sooner or later, my father will lead this country to a dead end.

How will he explain to his ancestors and the hundreds of millions of people across the country?

He could no longer bury his head in the ground and deceive himself.

He wants to fight!
"Your Highness?"

At some point, the Crown Princess came over and looked at her beloved with some concern.

Xiao Zhengyang seems to have changed a little these days.

Although he was still busy, he no longer stayed up until midnight to handle government affairs like before. He also seemed to be summoning some officials more frequently than before.

Judging from his appearance and his usual behavior, Xiao Zhengyang hadn't changed much. But as his bedmate, the Crown Princess could clearly feel that he had completely changed inside.

"Shuangshuang~ We're free today, let's go hunting outside the city!"

It was rare that the prince's frown relaxed a little, and he smiled and waved to the woman.

"what?"

"Okay! Okay!"

"Hahahaha, okay, okay~ Your Highness, wait for me to get ready~ Hehe~"

Looking at the cheering woman, Xiao Zhengyang lowered his eyes slightly, his smile stiffened, and there was a flash of inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

"Shuangshuang, did the emperor order you to monitor me?"

In an instant, the atmosphere froze.
