Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved-Chapter 670 - 638: First Update_2

At that moment, of the seven people present, five were stunned into stillness. The guards stationed at the two adjacent doors simply stood frozen; it was their first time witnessing the Eldest Princess openly flirting—truly, it was even more shocking than what they had heard.

Uh, stimulating.

Ju Nanyi’s physical reactions outpaced his reasoning as he took a step back, his eyes icy as he looked towards Zheng Tianxin, his fingers clenched into fists, barely containing himself.

Jin Luo trembled. "Your Highness the Princess, if you have something to say, just say it; why resort to physical contact? Where is Lan Xing? Lan Xing?"

Jin Luo feared that if Lan Xing did not show up in the next moment, their Eldest Princess would be thrown out directly.

Who was standing before them? It was Lord Ju, the saviour of Nanzheng from fire and water, the actual ruler of Nanzheng. It was his merit that Nanzheng was up and running again.

"Princess—" Jin Luo couldn’t care less if her own princess would get angry, she immediately pulled her princess, urging her to quickly leave.

"Sure enough, Lord Ju is quite the hot topic," Zheng Tianxin smiled, not at all restrained by the visible anger on Ju Nanyi’s face; instead, she found it even more amusing.

Even He Jin, despite her unwillingness, didn’t dare to defy her.

"Eldest Princess, please conduct yourself with dignity—" Ju Nanyi’s face was cold as frost, not wanting to stay a moment longer; with that thought, he immediately turned to leave.

Zheng Tianxin frowned, not expecting Ju Nanyi to be so blunt in his speech, devoid of even the slightest pleasantries. He truly was...

Without a second thought, Zheng Tianxin reached for Ju Nanyi’s belt, which swung a jade pendant in a low arc as the man turned.

"Lord Ju, what’s the rush? I find you most agreeable. Otherwise, leave something behind for me..." Zheng Tianxin had already grabbed hold of Ju Nanyi’s belt, her swift action catching everyone off guard.

Jin Luo was so scared she hardly dared to breathe, and Ju Nanyi was completely unprepared. At this moment, as he turned, the belt twisted in her hand, its slipknot coming undone, and along with the belt, a silk ribbon and a neatly crafted jade pendant clattered and slid off—all of which Ju Nanyi realised belatedly.

Zheng Tianxin, still grasping the belt, didn’t let go; unsuccessful in pulling it, Ju Nanyi’s temples bulged with veins as if even touching his own belt was a contamination to himself.

In the next moment, clanging loudly, the belt—whose quality was nothing to boast of—slid down instantly, and the man felt a loosening at his waist, his lips trembling.

Both the belt and the jade pendant, as well as the silk ribbon, ended up in Zheng Tianxin’s hands.

Jin Luo felt she might as well die; she couldn’t stand here and lose face any longer.

The four guards no longer dared to breathe, witnessing an incident that made them suddenly fear the next moment might bring a sword down on their lives.

"Eldest Princess—" Ju Nanyi’s voice suddenly rose, just as he was about to speak, Eunuch Du hurried over in a panic.

"Eldest Princess! Eldest Princess! The Emperor has sent a gift..." Eunuch Du rushed over, panting heavily. Oh, my goodness, how had things escalated to this point? The eunuch outside had immediately reported something amiss and he had rushed over, albeit too late.

Zheng Tianxin had no time to listen to Eunuch Du, her gaze firmly on Ju Nanyi, as if his growing anger was what she found most entertaining.

Lan Xing, following Eunuch Du, arrived in a hurry and promptly took a step forward to stand by her Eldest Princess.

"Hmph—" Ju Nanyi snorted coldly and walked away as his official robe swung left and right with his brisk, long strides, heading straight for the palace gates from the Chenyuan Hall. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Eldest Princess, we should leave quickly—" Jin Luo wanted to cry, her legs felt weak; she had never imagined the Eldest Princess would actually treat Lord Ju like those cats and dogs in the mansion, teasing him so.

"Eunuch Du, what gift?" Zheng Tianxin still remembered this matter.

Eunuch Du immediately knelt down; what gift? His life was at stake.

"Eldest Princess, this servant must have heard wrong, this servant..."

"What nonsense," Zheng Tianxin mumbled, her words not showing any annoyance; Eunuch Du had indeed proven himself to be quite observant today.

"Jin Luo, let’s go." Zheng Tianxin said and tossed the belt and other items to Jin Luo, only keeping the jade pendant, and inspected it in her hand.

Jin Luo quickly handed the items to Lan Xing as if they were hot to the touch.

"Eunuch, you must at least save us." As the others left, the remaining four guards unanimously kneeled and all turned their eyes to Eunuch Du.

Xue Liu, who was just about to leave, was startled by the scene and quickly retreated.
