Chapter 3 Milk Cute Two Dogs

Liu Shimei mentioned that she wanted to enter the palace to meet the emperor, and Huangfu Lingyao's face immediately lit up with excitement, his eyes shining as he stared at her. "Sister Fairy, you want to see my father? I'll take you there!"

The prince frowned.

Everyone fell silent.

"Is it okay to enter the palace at this hour?" Liu Shimei looked at the two fools. Initially, she was very angry, wanting to vent her frustration at the wild man who had tarnished her reputation, left so many marks on her body, and even injured her. But facing such innocent eyes, she couldn't bring herself to get angry.

He was also a victim!

How could Yan'er allow her to find a way out? She immediately said, "The palace gates are closed, and the emperor may not be willing to see Sister Fairy..."

Before she could finish speaking, Huangfu Lingyao interrupted, "It's okay! I can take Sister Fairy into the palace!"

Lowering his head to look at Liu Shimei, he had a pleasing smile on his face. "Sister Fairy, come with me to the palace. I'll take you to play! There's a big cat in the imperial garden that loves to play with me. I'll take you there, okay?"

His face was full of innocence and a pleasing smile.

"Okay." Liu Shimei's lips twitched slightly. She wouldn't miss this opportunity!

If she could salvage some dignity, the prince wouldn't have any objections.

Liu Shimei glanced at her adoptive father, her eyes filled with coldness.

Miss Liu's reputation has always been very good, and she has gained the favor of the crown prince. As long as she can successfully be selected as the crown prince's consort, it will bring endless benefits to the Liu family!

Tomorrow is the selection of the crown prince's consort, and Liu Shimei is ninety-nine percent sure of being chosen. Just when success was within reach, she unexpectedly encountered this situation. It would be strange if the prince would let her off easily!

Huangfu Lingyao didn't think so much. He grabbed Liu Shimei's hand and started to walk out, shouting, "Get out of the way! I'm taking Sister Fairy to see Father Emperor. Don't block our way!"

His royal demeanor didn't earn him any respect, and people didn't give him face. They kept gossiping, "The foolish Prince Dun is really lucky! Who in the capital doesn't say that Miss Liu is a rare beauty? I didn't expect the foolish second prince to take the lead!"

"I think Miss Liu seduced Prince Dun, and she's going to the palace to deliver someone's head!"

"I don't think so. The seductress matches the fool, a match made in heaven!"

Not only did these people mock him, but as Huangfu Lingyao was pulling Liu Shimei out, someone unexpectedly stuck out a foot. Completely caught off guard, he stumbled and fell forward!

Whether it was intentional or not, before falling, he suddenly let go of her hand, so Liu Shimei wouldn't fall with him!

Although she found it a bit strange, the turn of events didn't make Liu Shimei think too much. Subconsciously, she tried to grab him, but it was too late!

The tall man fell to the ground and started crying loudly, "You're bullying me! I'm going to tell Father Emperor that you're all bullying me... it hurts so much..."

Liu Shimei's lips twitched violently.

It's understandable why he had so many injuries. Even commoners dared to bully him. It seems he's been fooled around a lot!

Truly a five-year-old's intelligence!

But seeing him, with such a handsome face, looking so pitiful, Liu Shimei couldn't help but feel a soft spot in her heart. She reached out to help him up, wiping away the tears from his eyes, and said softly, "It's okay, it's okay, don't cry."

Her tone was completely like comforting a child.

The tall man, with tears in his eyes, looked at her and said, "Sister Fairy, you're so kind!"

What a silly and cute little puppy, truly naive!

Although the current situation didn't look optimistic, a smile appeared in Liu Shimei's eyes, completely out of place. She raised her arm and patted his head, saying, "Come on, take Sister into the palace. After we resolve this matter, I'll protect you in the future!"

"Really?" The innocent look in his eyes was filled with joy. Then he grabbed her hand and said, "Sister Fairy, will you use magic to protect me in the future? That's great!"

No one paid attention to his rambling. He kept talking, "If someone bullies you in the future, just tell me, and I'll help you beat them up!"

Liu Shimei sighed inwardly.

A five-year-old's world is simple: you're good to me, and I'll be good to you.

So be it. In this era, she has to rely on his status to protect herself. Their fates are bound together. As long as she gets through this test tonight, she'll protect him in the future!

As she was being led out of the alley, she didn't notice that Huangfu Lingyao, who was walking in front, lowered his long, dense eyelashes, and a fleeting glint was concealed. In the next moment, he looked pure and clear, with seven parts foolishness and three parts excitement.

He pinched her wrist, lightly tracing the tender skin on the inside of her wrist with his thumb.

Meanwhile, Liu Shimei, holding something in her palm, was completely unaware of his subtle gesture, which didn't seem like something a little boy would do to his sister, but rather a hint from an adult man to a woman!
