Qin's Moon: I'm really not the Holy Lord of the Demonic Sect

Honglian struggled desperately, but she was too weak and frail to break free from Han Yu's large hand. What was even more infuriating was that Han Yu actually said to Yang Che and the others, "Please forgive her, my little sister is young and willful."

Madam Hu looked at the struggling Honglian, her thoughts wandering as if she were thinking of something else. Hu Meiren then spoke up for Han Yu, saying, "Princess, tonight is different from other times. With so many people, there's bound to be some mixed bag of people. We're out having fun, and having fun is important, but safety is the prerequisite for having fun."

Yang Che watched with great interest as Honglian struggled in Han Yu's hands. For a moment, Yang Che could even see Honglian's waist tense up, like a fully drawn bowstring, as she leaped with all her might, trying to break free. However, the difference in strength between the two was too great, and her efforts were futile except for making herself bounce twice.

A pig being held down? A stranded red carp? Yang Che thought, and couldn't help but smile.

Yang Che's smile only fueled Honglian's shame and indignation, causing her face to flush red. She already disliked Yang Che, but now she hated him even more.

Damn it, everyone's laughing at me.

Honglian was filled with resentment.

Red Lotus struggles.

Red Lotus's efforts were in vain.

Yang Che's laughter, in particular, was completely undisguised, a blatant mockery. Hearing this, Honglian's hatred for Yang Che soared, quickly surpassing her disgust for Han Yu and Hu Meiren.

Almost with the intention of dying together with her, Honglian suddenly said, "Fourth Brother, let me go! I won't run away anymore. I've thought of a win-win idea."

"Honglian, I advise you not to play tricks. There is no way I will let you go out and play alone." Han Yu was not fooled. He knew what kind of person his sister was. Although she was not very intelligent, she was still clever. She could cause trouble unexpectedly, making it hard to guard against.

"I won't go alone. I'll have Yang Che accompany me. You should be relieved, Fourth Brother, right?" Honglian stopped struggling and became very obedient.

"This?" Han Yu was taken aback upon hearing this, then looked at Yang Che. After considering it for a moment, he felt that Hong Lian's idea was quite good. His initiative to accompany Consort Hu to the annual festival was also intended to get closer to Consort Hu and find an ally for himself in the harem.

It was naturally inappropriate to do this in front of Honglian, but having Honglian involved was his father's order, which he couldn't refuse. He had been struggling with this matter before, and Honglian's suggestion was not a bad idea.

With Yang Che accompanying Honglian, her safety shouldn't be a problem, and he can also take the opportunity to get rid of Honglian, which is perfect for both of them.

At this moment, Hu Meiren also thought of Han Wang An's previous act of bestowing Honglian's portrait upon Yang Che. With a thought, she immediately echoed, "Honglian's idea is not bad. They are all young people, and young people have their own way of playing. If they follow us, they will not have as much fun."

"Since even you, Miss Hu, say so, then let's listen to Honglian," Han Yu nodded.

Hey, hey, hey, did you even ask for my opinion? Yang Che never expected that he, who was just watching the show, would end up drawing the fire of Honglian to himself.

Unfortunately, no one cared about Yang Che's opinion. In Han Yu's view, Yang Che was a subject, and protecting the princess was his duty. As for Consort Hu, she wanted to do Yang Che a favor, since Yang Che had taken the initiative to ask Han Wang An for the portrait of the red lotus.

"Then why don't you let me go?" Honglian was overjoyed that her scheme had succeeded.

He had only used a little of his innate wisdom, and instead of asking his annoying fourth brother and Hu Meiren for help, he could also take the opportunity to punish the big bad guy in front of him who was making fun of him.

Honglian herself was somewhat impressed with her own cleverness.

"Imperial Censor Yang, I'm entrusting Honglian to you. We'll meet here again when the bell tolls at dawn for the annual festival," Han Yu said to Yang Che as he released Honglian.

"Alright."

Han Yu was quite surprised by Yang Che's lack of interest. Accompanying the princess was a coveted but unattainable job for many. Why would Yang Che be like this?

Perhaps things aren't as simple as they seem. Han Yu's evaluation of Yang Che has been revised once again.

Once she regained her freedom, Honglian ran off without a word, and Yang Che could only follow. Fortunately, there were more and more people in the square, so even if Honglian wanted to run fast, she couldn't. Yang Che didn't need to chase after her; he just needed to follow her from a distance.

Honglian, who usually sneaks out of the palace, is like a silly deer who is curious about everything. She goes to every stall she passes and occasionally takes out a few coins from her leather bag to buy some trinkets.

As they wandered along the increasingly crowded imperial road, Honglian gradually became covered with various small toys. Even Yang Che was not spared, and he also acquired a wooden sword and a string of wrist bells.

Gradually, half of the imperial path was measured by Honglian's footsteps.

As Yang Che and Hong Lian traveled south from the Han Palace Square, a group of people also came from the south of the city, heading north.

Gradually, the two groups of people, going in completely different directions, unexpectedly met halfway along the imperial road.

Nongyu bought a set of carving tools from a stall, and before she could put them into the small bag slung over her shoulder, she saw Yang Che standing in front of a stall, looking down at something.

"Nongyu, isn't that your senior brother? Why don't you go up and say hello?" When Nongyu saw Yang Che, Cai Die, who was already an adult and taller than Nongyu, also saw Yang Che.

"Sister Cai Die, aren't you also an acquaintance of Senior Brother? Aren't you going up to say hello?" Nong Yu retorted, she could hear the teasing in Cai Die's words.

"Of course we should go. I think Sister Zi Nu feels the same way, right?" Cai Die replied, glancing at Zi Nu beside her.

"Since Senior Brother Nongyu has taught Nongyu so much, it wouldn't be right for us older sisters not to greet him when we meet him," Zi Nu nodded.

She admitted that she had underestimated Yang Che. She thought that Nongyu's encounter with Yang Che was just a chance meeting during her teenage years.

Yang Che was not too dangerous for Nongyu; on the contrary, his appearance added a layer of color to Nongyu's girlhood that no one else could provide.

But as more and more information about Yang Che appeared before her, Zi Nu had to admit that Yang Che was dangerous to any young girl.

At this point, it was unwise of her to ignore Nongyu's contact with Yang Che.

If Nongyu can truly find a good match, her older sister would naturally be happy to see it happen. But as the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not their heart. Can Yang Che really be trusted?

"Nongyu, your sister has given orders, hurry up and go!" Caidie urged.

To be honest, she really wanted to see Yang Che after that night.

While the women were talking, Yang Che had already seen them and was walking straight towards them.

As Yang Che approached, he, who had been vaguely visible under the lamplight, was now clearly revealed to Zi Nu.

Zi Nu had to admit that Yang Che was indeed very attractive to girls.

Even though she had seen Yang Che in secret, she still couldn't help but glance at him sideways when she saw him again.

She was not a superficial person; she was naturally beautiful and had developed a strong immunity to so-called beauty. However, Yang Che still gave her a completely different feeling.

Beauty is only in appearance, but what truly captivates is that indescribable aura.

Those eyes always seemed to radiate a gentle smile, instantly putting people at ease. Every gesture was unpretentious, exuding only a natural and gentle warmth.

As Zi Nu openly scrutinized Yang Che for the first time, Yang Che's gaze swept over Nong Yu and Cai Die before finally settling on Zi Nu.

What a gentle and intellectual older sister she is.
