Chapter 786 Meeting the Little Tiger Cub!
When Yu Zhizhi mentioned His Highness the Crown Prince, the hyena guards looked stunned.
In the Moonrise Empire, no one dares to bring up Princess Canglan unless she has a death wish.
The black panther man beside her was about to berate her for being so arrogant as to mention even the prince, but before he could finish speaking, the hyena guard glared at him and said, "Shut up!"
The black panther man froze, clutching his cub, too afraid to utter another sound.
The hyena guard summoned his trusted men.
He whispered his instructions.
The young guard immediately ran towards the other end of the street, afraid that being too slow would delay important matters!
The black panther man was indignant. He felt that this young female rabbit was not a citizen of the Moonrise Empire, and he didn't know how many outsiders like her he had tried to scam.
She immediately referred to herself as "Your Highness Canglan," and he certainly wouldn't believe her.
What is the status of the Crown Prince of the Moonrise Empire? If she is really a VIP, why would she be wandering aimlessly in this market alone?
The orcs along the entire street were intrigued and waited together for an answer.
Not long after.
A troop of royal guards in bright armor rode up from the end of the long street.
The horses' hooves clattered on the stone pavement, producing a crisp, rhythmic sound, and passersby quickly made way for them.
The leader was a young fox-clan member with long, light blue hair tied back, dressed in a dark blue palace gown, with jade pendants at his waist and a scroll of gold-embossed documents in his hand.
He dismounted and walked straight to Yu Zhizhi, kneeling on one knee.
“Miss Zhizhi, His Highness the Crown Prince has ordered us to come and greet you.”
His voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for half the street to hear clearly. The guards behind him all knelt down on one knee in unison, the sound of their armor plates clashing together perfectly.
Yu Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Canglan is here, that's good.
She can now enter the palace without any problems.
Among the crowd, the black panther man's face had turned from ashen to deathly pale.
He held the cub, his fingers trembling.
The black panther man took a step back and stepped on a loose stone slab, making a "click" sound.
He recoiled as if burned, turned to leave, but his legs were too weak to move.
The cub slid off his arms, landed on all fours, and didn't run away. It just squatted quietly in place, looking up at Yu Zhizhi.
The hyena guards hadn't gone far.
He stood at the edge of the crowd, still holding the whiteboard in his hand, his silver-rimmed glasses flashing in the sunlight.
When he heard the words "Your Highness the Crown Prince," his fingers unconsciously tightened, and the corner of the notepad left a white mark on his palm.
He walked back quickly, took off his glasses, and bowed deeply to Yu Zhizhi.
His posture was much lower than when he faced the black panther man, his waist bent almost parallel to the ground.
"Miss Zhizhi, I apologize for my negligence earlier."
His voice was a little tight, "This humble official did not know that you were His Highness's distinguished guest, please, please forgive me."
Yu Zhizhi's rabbit ears drooped down. She looked at the hyena guard's bent back and then at the black panther man in the distance who was holding a cub, his face pale and his legs weak.
The fox-clan youth stood up from the ground, his gaze sweeping indifferently over the hyena guard and the black panther man. He said nothing, but simply stepped aside and gestured for them to proceed.
"Miss Zhizhi, the carriage is ready."
Her gaze lingered on the cub for a moment before she quickly turned and got into the carriage.
Behind him, the black panther man's legs finally gave way, and he slid down to the ground, still holding the cub.
The hyena guard straightened up and wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead.
Fortunately, he sent someone to the palace. Otherwise, if he had truly punished the female rabbit on his own, he might have lost his life!
Rabbits… The hyena guard thought of the rumors that the Crown Prince was engaged to a female rabbit.
However, the news of the marriage was later suppressed.
No more photos or videos related to her can be found online.
Yu Zhizhi rode in a horse-drawn carriage, the golden frame of which drove all the way to the palace without anyone stopping her.
The fox-spirit youth led her to a side hall of the palace where the crown prince resided, ordered tea and refreshments to be served, and respectfully said, "His Highness is still discussing matters, please wait a moment, Miss Zhizhi," before withdrawing.
The palace gate was half-open, and you could see several neatly trimmed osmanthus trees in the courtyard outside, their petals fluttering down in the wind.
Yu Zhizhi sat on the brocade cushion, holding a white porcelain teacup in her fingertips. The cup was warm, and the tea was clear.
She sipped her drink slowly, her gaze sweeping over the furnishings in the hall.
Footsteps came from under the corridor.
Yu Zhizhi looked up as a young man stepped into the palace.
His white hair was tied back with a plain silver hairpin, with a few stray strands falling beside his face. He looked somewhat similar to Cang Lan, but their temperaments were completely different.
"My brother was held up by something and asked me to come and greet you first."
The man walked over and sat down on the brocade cushion opposite her. His movements were very quiet, and the hem of his robes made no sound.
Yu Zhizhi recognized him.
She stood up: "Seventh Prince."
He is the seventh prince of the Moonrise Empire, and Cang Jie is Cang Lan's younger brother.
Yu Zhizhi met him a few times when she lived in the Ice Palace.
"The day you left, I thought I would never see you again in the Moonrise Empire." Cangjie still had a gentle smile on his face, as if he were reminiscing about the past.
"After all, when you left, it was tantamount to a complete break with His Highness the Crown Prince. Although he visited the Tianxing Territory a few times afterward... it was different. I never expected that he would actually take the initiative to push for your marriage."
His Highness the Crown Prince is actually willing to become the sixth beast husband of this little female rabbit.
He's such an arrogant person, this is unbelievable!
Yu Zhizhi did not speak.
Cang Jie stood up, raised his hands, and bowed solemnly: "Today, I should call you sister-in-law, but you and His Highness the Crown Prince are not yet married. I will call you that after you are married."
"...Sister-in-law." She murmured to herself, her rabbit ears turning even redder.
Yu Zhizhi realized that she had come here specifically to discuss the matter of forming a contract.
Not knowing what to say, she simply returned the greeting.
Cangjie stood up.
"My brother's meeting is almost over. Miss Zhizhi, you should rest first, I'll go greet him."
Yu Zhizhi watched him walk away.
The fox-clan youth standing guard outside glanced sideways, looking thoughtfully at the rabbit-clan young lady, as if he had something to ask her.
But now is not the time.
Yu Zhizhi waited alone in the side hall.
About ten minutes later, a golden tiger cub rushed in from outside!
It ran too fast and couldn't stop in front of Yu Zhizhi. The whole cub fell forward, and its fluffy head hit her knee!
"Mommy!" It raised its head, its golden-brown eyes shining like two gems just pulled from the water, its round pupils reflecting Yu Zhizhi's stunned face.
"Little Star!" Yu Zhizhi happily hugged it.
She hadn't expected that Little Star would be in the palace! It arrived even faster than Cang Lan!
See you tomorrow~
