Chapter 854 - 853: What Does This Non-Alien Have to Do with Me, the Sixth Prince?

No wonder it’s an important NPC, the role is really interesting.

Mu Qiu sighed and turned to Cheng Zhirang, saying sorrowfully, "Your Highness, if that’s the case, then we can only break it off. I’ve told you, daughters of the Mu Family can only be wives, not concubines, not even for the Imperial Family."

Cheng Zhirang: "..... I..."

"Your Highness!" Miss Zhang interrupted sharply, "Your Highness should not harbor any improper thoughts. You’ve promised Duke Zhang Mansion that the title of Crown Princess Consort must be mine."

Oh~ so this Crown Prince is still under the control of ministers.

"Seems like I can’t rely on His Highness, so I can only run away quickly?" She sighed to Cheng Zhirang, her eyes immediately turning red,

"It’s okay, you go ahead and be carefree, I won’t enter the Eastern Palace, just accompany you for a lifetime, it’s really okay."

As if, according to their story, she would quickly find a Prince Shi to marry and enjoy life.

The two of them acted quite well together, Cheng Zhirang felt he was almost unnecessary, just about to say a line he decided on the spot, and then Li Yang directly pointed out Mu Qiu’s words.

"In your story, don’t you have an old flame? What’s going to happen to Brother Huai?"

Mu Qiu casually replied, "Brother Huai is the backup, he doesn’t have a role yet."

Li Yang: "Poor Brother Huai, why don’t you change to a happy-ending story where you and Brother Cheng end up together, and Miss Zhang ends up with Brother Huai."

Just after he spoke, Miss Zhang sharply scolded, "What kind of status do you have to say such things?! Oh, turns out you’re a useless young master from the General Mansion; once General Li leaves, you’re busy eating and drinking everywhere and offending people, you’ll be taught a lesson sooner or later!"

Li Yang was stunned and asked Guan Yu, "Is she cursing me?"

Guan Yu sipped her noodle soup from a big bowl, burped, and said slowly, "Of course, is there anyone else here who is a loser?"

"....."

Seems like their three stories were indeed linked together, the roles intertwined.

Sure enough, Miss Zhang spoke again, "Miss Shu, sorry, I just scolded your brother on your behalf. You still have to look after the young master a bit; now General Li is leading troops outside, once he returns victoriously, it will be time for you to enter the Eastern Palace, and you’ll also be involved in Eastern Palace relations."

Shu Ran turned her head to look at Cheng Zhirang.

Mu Qiu also turned her head, "Brother Cheng, are you the highest in these three biological chains? Why are all female roles related to you?"

"Oh," Guan Yu raised her hand slowly, "I’m not; I’m an independent entity."

"Mainly because you landed in a cave, there was no chance to meet." Shu Ran teased.

"Yes, you all have half of your story happening outside, couldn’t even enter the mainstream, and you three are all in the abuse script." Mu Qiu summarized.

"But Li Yang, he holds the growth-type male protagonist script."

Li Yang got excited, "Right, right! I am the shiny protagonist! I will grow!"

Mu Qiu shifted her focus, "But for now, Brother Cheng got the large male protagonist script from the male genre, a bit stronger than you."

And it’s even a male harem genre.

Li Yang paused, pursed his lips, and got deflated again.

Miss Zhang looked at them after they finished talking, raised her chin and gave them a disdainful glance, even her final farewell bow seemed rather perfunctory.

"Hope Your Highness returns to the Eastern Palace soon, I will head back first."

Finished speaking, she placed her hand on her maid’s hand and turned to leave.

Cheng Zhirang pressed his temples, "This character is so rich and full of information."

He’s now afraid another female actor might come over.

Mu Qiu scratched her fingertips with her nails, and summarized simply, "So you, the Crown Prince, on one hand, have to consider balancing the ministers for the Imperial Family and can only secure a few main and side wives you don’t like, on the other hand, you have someone you like."

Then you all fail in your pursuit of happiness, you marry someone else, the person you like also marries someone else. But you’re unwilling to accept, so later you might turn bad, seize power and benefits, and forcibly take your liked one, tsk, it’s so thrilling."

"You all have too many NPCs, all coming to provide information for you, ours are too few, we haven’t bumped into any yet." Guan Yu complained.

An Zhou finally set down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said, "The frequent arrival means the story is about to officially start. Since there are three stories linked together, there must be an event that ignites the fuse."

Shu Ran: "What event could that be?"

Everyone finished eating, sat there fanning themselves, and also thought about which plot from which story would be the fuse to start the three stories.

Mu Qiu pondered for a moment and guessed, "It could be, finding the Sixth Prince back, then the Crown Prince getting married? The general returning victorious might be later, given Brother An Zhou’s role hasn’t come into play yet."

"Makes sense." Everyone nodded.

Just as few words were spoken, there was suddenly a rumbling sound from the market ahead.

Then people started fleeing, the stalls on both sides turned chaotic. Following that, people on horseback appeared at the street end.

Behind them was a group of guards, holding several portraits asking others.

A group of them stood up, shocked to see those horses.

"Oh my! They are real horses!" Li Yang exclaimed in amazement.

Shu Ran: "This episode’s production team surely spent a lot."

"They are looking for the Sixth Prince, right?" Song Weili asked, "With those portraits asking if anyone has seen me."

"Then that paper should have your photo on it," Guan Yu shaded her eyes with her hand to block out the dazzling sun, squinted and looked again, "but couldn’t see anything pasted on it, seems like just a real portrait. Hey, let’s see it?"

Coincidentally, a guard NPC and a civilian got into a conflict, and the light brown paper in his hand floated into the air, landing not far from Cheng Zhirang.

He picked it up and glanced at it, his expression suddenly became quite delicate.

Mu Qiu turned her eyes and said, "Could it be the same as the sketch in the pilot film? From the same abstract artist."

Cheng Zhirang handed the drawing to them, their heads gathered together, the long-lost fishing rod camera lens found a gap, just like their heads, moved in to aim at the paper.

Zhu Qi commented, "A mouth, two nostrils, two eyes, has hair and eyebrows, rather normal."

Song Weili: ".... Bro, are you blind? Isn’t everyone a mouth, two nostrils, two eyes?! This only says it’s not an alien, but looking like this, how does it relate to me as the Sixth Prince?! I don’t recognize it!"

Guan Yu laughed like a goose, "Holding this to find the Sixth Prince, the palace means simply not wanting you anymore, hahaha! Anyone can be taken back!"

Song Weili: "..."

He showed the drawing to the camera, and sincerely asked, "Could I know which master painted it, is there a misunderstanding of my image?"
