Chapter 145 Watching Lanterns with the Prime Minister

The Prime Minister smiled and walked up to her.

"Your little face is all stained. Aren't you afraid of such a huge fire?"

Looking at the elegant and gentle man in front of her, Shen Ningning felt a little close to him.

She shook her little head: "Don't be afraid! My brother is very good to me. I should save him. Besides, I have Wolf Wolf with me!"

The black wolf king on the side raised his head, his yellow wolf eyes flashing with pride.

The Prime Minister looked at it with a smile.

Then, he took out the handkerchief from his arms, dipped it in some water, and asked: "County Master, can I help you wipe your face clean?"

Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes: "Is my face very dark?"

She looked at Chen Shaobei, who nodded silently.

The little guy raised his little head obediently: "No wonder Wolf Wolf said I have a black egg face, so I'll trouble you, Uncle Prime Minister!"

With her permission, the Prime Minister took a step forward and gently wiped the black ash from her cheeks.

During this period, Shen Ningning felt that his hands were trembling slightly.

"Uncle Prime Minister, are you feeling uncomfortable? Why are you shaking?"

"It's not uncomfortable, I'm just afraid of hurting you."

"No, I'm thick and not afraid of pain. My aunt hit me before and the stick was broken. I just got angry with her and didn't even cry!"

When she talked about the suffering she had suffered in the past as if it was a funny story, the Prime Minister's heart tightened unconsciously.

It was as if he was being held tightly by a big hand, making him unable to breathe and making him feel murderous and angry.

If Shen Ningning was really his daughter, he would have allowed her to suffer so much outside.

He will definitely find Aunt Qin and her children and cut them to pieces!

"The county master has worked hard in the past, but now that he has received the love of His Highness, he will surely have all the hardships and joys in the future." He comforted in a low voice.

Shen Ningning also laughed and said, "Grandma said the same."

Finally, all the black ash on her face was wiped away.

The Prime Minister stared at her appearance blankly, and felt as if someone had hit her heart with a hammer, making a muffled "thud" sound.

He even became extremely cautious when breathing!

Like, so similar!

Her eyebrows look just like his wife’s!

"Uncle Prime Minister? Uncle Prime Minister?" Shen Ningning called, tilting her little head.

Chen Shaobei also frowned: "Prime Minister, are you okay?"

The Prime Minister's expression seemed to be one of astonishment and one of ecstasy, and the look in his eyes was filled with indescribable ecstasy.

"It's okay... I'm okay," the Prime Minister breathed out with relief: "County Lord... Ning Ning, I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you. You look very much like an old friend of mine."

"Old friend?"

"Yes, that's why I am happy when I see you. I wonder when is your birthday?"

"I don't know when my birthday is. Grandma said she found me in the twelfth lunar month of winter. At that time, I was still a little baby wrapped in a cloth bag!"

Hearing these words, the Prime Minister suddenly opened his eyes.

"Where did your grandma pick you up?"

"Wolf Mountain!"

The Prime Minister's eyes suddenly turned red, and he stared at Shen Ningning closely, reluctant to blink.

"Uncle Prime Minister, why are you crying? Is it because you miss that old friend?"

He suddenly let out a bitter laugh and nodded repeatedly in a hoarse voice: "Yes, uncle thought of her."

Shen Ningning quickly took out the mooncakes she made last night from the small bag.

There was only one piece, and it looked bad. I wanted to keep it for myself.

But seeing that the prime minister was unhappy, she took it out generously.

"This is red bean paste filling. It is very sweet. After eating it, you will forget many sad things. Uncle Prime Minister, don't be sad."

The prime minister held it in his palm as if he had found a treasure: "Thank you Ning Ning. By the way, there are Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns in the market over there. If Ning Ning is not in a hurry to go back, can uncle take you to see them?"

There are lanterns!

Shen Ningning's big round eyes lit up.

Then, she looked at Chen Shaobei.

Chen Shaobei looked helpless: "His Royal Highness has ordered me to send you home."

The prime minister stood up with a warm smile: "Young general, there is no need to worry, I will send the Lord of Funing County home safely."

It's not that Chen Shaobei doesn't believe in the Prime Minister's character, but he must do what Mo Lingwei personally told him.

In a blink of an eye, seeing Shen Ningning looking at him expectantly, Chen Shaobei had no choice but to say: "I'll follow you. You can go around for a while, but don't be too late."

Shen Ningning immediately cheered: "Okay!"

The prime minister took her little hand, asked the Black Wolf King to accompany him, and walked together towards the street where the lights were like daylight.

On the way, the Prime Minister lined up for her and bought a candy man with a monkey fishing for the moon.

Shen Ningning's eyes were bright as she ate: "Uncle Prime Minister, aren't you going to eat?"

"Uncle is not hungry." He said with a smile, went to queue again, and bought the little guy a bag of candy cakes as soft as clouds.

The outer skin is crispy and crystal clear, and when you bite into it, you will find the sweet bean flavor inside.

People were coming and going in the market, but everyone consciously avoided the Prime Minister and the others.

Just because the prime minister was holding the little girl, and there was a huge black wolf accompanying him!

Behind them, there were countless guards and soldiers, whose awe-inspiring aura made people afraid to step forward and make trouble.

The prime minister took good care of him. Even the Black Wolf King got a chicken leg and ate it in two or three bites.

They walked to the south of the city, and fireworks were being set off not far away.

Shen Ningning raised her little head to look, but she was too short, and her sight was soon blocked by the tall crowd in front of her.

"Come, sit on your uncle's shoulders and watch." After the prime minister said that, he bent down and lifted the little guy up.

Then, he really let Shen Ningning sit on his shoulders, just like a father carrying his daughter, so that she could clearly see the fireworks all over the sky.

"Wow! It turns out that being tall can see so far!" The little girl's soft and white face was full of joy.

Chen Shaobei on the side was a little surprised.

The prime minister's personality has always been to keep strangers away and extremely indifferent.

He was so enthusiastic about a little girl he just met?

"Uncle, you are tired, put me down, I've seen enough!" The little guy did not forget to be considerate of others.

"I'm not tired, Ningning, look over there, the fireworks are purple, very different."

Shen Ningning watched the fireworks for a while, laughing like a silver bell, and the prime minister's eyes showed a satisfied mood.

After his daughter was born, he had imagined countless times how to pamper her well.

He wanted to bring the best things in the world to her.

Let her be the happiest girl in Cangyun Country!

Just then.

The Prime Minister's secret guard appeared, looking solemn, as if he had something important to report.

He saw it from the corner of his eye, and had to put Shen Ningning down first.

"General Chen Shao, take Ningning over there to eat a bowl of wontons first, so as not to go hungry." After the Prime Minister finished speaking, he watched Chen Shaobei pull Shen Ningning away.

Then he turned his head: "What's the matter?"

When Shen Ningning was not around, he became the ruthless Prime Minister with a cold face again.

"Sir, we found the maid who took the young lady away that year. She is now in Shuzhou and is controlled by our people. Do you want to go to Shuzhou immediately?"

The Prime Minister was shocked.

How could he not go if there was real news about his daughter?

But...

He turned his head and looked at Shen Ningning who was sitting in the wonton stall not far away.

The little guy was enthusiastically taking out a few silver ingots: "I want to treat you to eat. When my uncle comes later, leave the biggest bowl for him."
