She was the one who said it so matter-of-factly! It startled Gongsun Ming and Mo Xuan, while the others showed no reaction.
Emperor Dongfang Hao, after hearing the words of the Little One, directly asked, "What do you need so much money for?"
Upon hearing his question, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and replied, "May I ask who you are? What is my relationship to you?"
Dongfang Hao was taken aback by her question, but before he could respond, the Little One continued, "It's not like I'm related to you, so why should I care? Besides, it's your debt to me, not me asking you for money."
"Little Doll, you are the Princess of my Silver Moon Kingdom! Shouldn't my status allow me to take care of you?" Dongfang Hao retorted playfully.
After hearing his words, Luo Bingbing shot him a cold glance and said, "The law applies equally to the emperor and the commoner. Shouldn't an emperor repay his debts?"
After hearing the Little One's words, Your Majesty Dongfang Hao truly didn't know how to respond.
If he were to assert his authority directly, it would make him seem too petty as an emperor. So he chose to ignore the Little One's statement and turned to Mo Xuan behind him, instructing, "Mo Xuan, go back to the palace now and bring back the money that she is owed."
Mo Xuan quickly replied upon hearing His Majesty Dongfang Hao's words, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will return right away."
After speaking, he took his leave from Dongfang Hao and the others present. As he left Prince Luo's Residence for the palace, he used Lightness Skill all the way.
Seeing that Dongfang Hao had already sent his Personal Bodyguard back to fetch the money, Luo Bingbing decided not to say anything further.
Strategist Gongsun Ming had been feeling anxious since Luo Bingbing began talking with Emperor Dongfang Hao. He feared that their Little Princess might offend His Majesty and was also worried that His Majesty might suddenly issue a decree against her.
In contrast, Xuan Ye and Poet Sage Li Jingshan were completely unconcerned.
Because Xuan Ye knew that Luo Bingbing was the Otherworldly Divine Star sent by heaven, blessed with a great destiny and born to a life of wealth, he was not worried at all.
Poet Sage Li Jingshan was a renowned figure in the world, frequently visiting the courts of various nations, well-informed and well-connected. Therefore, he was also not concerned that his Little Master would be bullied.
However, all three secretly admired the Little One for daring to directly demand repayment from that Your Majesty, especially since this debt was extorted by her own means.
After all, in this feudal ancient era, the emperor was the leader of the world and held the lives of countless people in his hands; life and death were entirely within his will.
Seeing that his Little Master had already settled the financial matter with the emperor, Poet Sage Li Jingshan cheerfully said to the Little One, "Master, your disciple is inexperienced and shallow in knowledge. May I ask if you have time to enlighten me?"
After hearing his words, Luo Bingbing calmly replied, "Literature is nothing but emotion and scenery. If you revolve around these two words in your heart, you will surely reach the intended realm."
After speaking, she turned her head and scanned the courtyard, noticing the blooming chrysanthemums in the corner. Upon seeing the chrysanthemums, she thought of Zheng Gu's poem "Chrysanthemum."
Thus, she slowly said, "How about this! I will compose a poem based on those chrysanthemums in this courtyard!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jingshan was naturally overjoyed, and everyone else wholeheartedly agreed because they also wanted to learn more about the Little One.
"Do not compare noble sons to wild weeds; branches near the temples under the nine suns. Dew moistens autumn fragrance filling the pond's edge; I have never envied the lofty pines."
As soon as Luo Bingbing finished reciting, Li Jingshan clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Wonderful! Wonderful! Master, your poem praises those small chrysanthemums exquisitely."
Others listened and secretly sighed in admiration: "The knowledge of this Little One is truly profound!"
Especially Strategist Gongsun Ming, who had never heard or seen the Little One compose poetry or couplets before, only hearing about it through others.
So, when he finally heard the Little One recite a poem, he was quite surprised. After regaining his composure, he quickly praised the Little One.
Meanwhile, while they were discussing this, Mo Xuan had already returned to the palace and brought a large sum of silver notes to Prince Luo's Residence.
Before long, he arrived at Piaoyun Pavilion of Prince Luo's Residence with the silver notes in hand.
Seeing that he had brought the silver notes, Dongfang Hao returned the remaining silver notes owed to Luo Bingbing to the Little One.
When Luo Bingbing saw that the one million taels of silver notes were finally in her possession, a slight smile appeared on her lips.
After putting away the silver notes, Luo Bingbing said to Emperor Dongfang Hao and his Personal Bodyguard Mo Xuan: "I am very satisfied with your performance today, so you don't have to pay for tonight's barbecue. Consider it my treat."
Upon hearing her words, Mo Xuan's eyes lit up, but he remained silent since there was still a Your Majesty sitting nearby!
Emperor Dongfang Hao, after hearing her words, couldn't help but smile lightly and said, "Little Doll, when did you become so generous?"
After hearing his question, Luo Bingbing raised an eyebrow and replied: "It seems you think this free barbecue isn't good enough and want to pay for the barbecue worth a hundred taels of gold instead?"
"That's not it; I just feel that Little Doll you are acting unusually generous today," Dongfang Hao directly pointed out the issue.
Upon hearing his words, Luo Bingbing was slightly taken aback internally. However, on the surface, she showed no signs of surprise and lazily replied: "Is that so? But how come I didn't notice it myself?"
After speaking, Luo Bingbing suddenly noticed that the sun had completely set, leaving only the fiery red clouds in the sky.
Without waiting for Dongfang Hao to respond, she stood up and said, "You all stay here; I'm going to check on them in the backyard and call the old man to catch some game."
As soon as she finished speaking, she headed toward the backyard, with Nursemaid naturally following closely behind her.
Dongfang Hao was about to respond to the Little One's words when, before he could say anything, the Little One spoke up first about going to the backyard.
Watching the Little One leave so quickly only confirmed his suspicions. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Something's off; this Little Doll is definitely acting strange today."
Not just him; even his Personal Bodyguard, Mo Xuan, felt that the Little Princess was behaving unusually today. He sensed that when the Little Princess left just now, it seemed like she was fleeing in a panic.
Meanwhile, Luo Bingbing paid no mind to their thoughts. Upon arriving in the backyard, she saw Snow Spirit Elder seriously instructing Luo Yi alongside her so-called Father.
Seeing her arrive, Snow Spirit Elder greeted her, "Little Doll, you're here."
Luo Bingbing nodded lightly at his words and asked, "How is it going? Is there any progress?"
"It's going well. Your father is older and has more experience, so he progresses quickly with just a little guidance. However, Luo Yi is younger and lacks a foundation, so her progress will be slower," Snow Spirit Elder explained slowly after hearing Luo Bingbing's question.
After listening to Snow Spirit Elder's words, Luo Bingbing calmly said, "Old man, demonstrate all the Skills in this secret art for them to see. How much they can remember and comprehend depends on themselves."
Lo An Lord and Snow Spirit Elder exchanged puzzled glances after hearing what the Little One said; they truly did not understand why she wanted to do this.
However, they did not know that Little Beggar Luo Yi was aware that his Young Mistress was going to leave the Wangfu for a while, which was why he was so anxious to have Snow Spirit Elder teach them martial arts.
Luo Bingbing noticed the puzzled expressions on Snow Spirit Elder and her Father’s faces, realizing they had many questions in their minds.
So, she raised an eyebrow and said, “You all practice first! I will explain the reason to you later.”
After hearing the Little One's words, the two had no choice but to set aside their doubts and follow her instructions.
Once Snow Spirit Elder demonstrated his unique Skill in front of them, he had Lo An Lord and Luo Yi each practice it once. Then, after correcting their mistakes, Snow Spirit Elder provided further guidance.
Once he confirmed that both of them had memorized the unique skills taught by Snow Spirit Elder, Luo Bingbing turned to him and said, “Old man, hurry up and hunt some game! Catch plenty tonight so everyone can have enough to eat.”
Upon hearing this, Snow Spirit Elder immediately asked, “Why? This has never been such a good deal before!”
“I’ve decided to leave the Wangfu tomorrow and head to Ling Mountain,” Luo Bingbing said calmly.
“Ah…”
It was as if a Landmine had exploded out of nowhere; Lo An Lord and Snow Spirit Elder exclaimed in unison.
Luo Bingbing paid no attention to their reactions and continued, “The Prince Luo's Residence is no longer safe. You saw what happened with the assassin last night, right? Plus, with those scholars outside the Wangfu causing such a commotion, I believe royal families from all over the world must already know there’s a Prodigy inside Prince Luo's Residence. And for other countries' Prodigies, they would certainly harbor intentions to eliminate any threats.”
At this point, she paused slightly before continuing, “After all, no emperor from any nation would allow a foreigner who poses a threat to exist within their borders because that could endanger their own country.”
Lo An Lord and Snow Spirit Elder nodded in agreement after hearing the words of the Little One, unable to contain their approval.
Seeing their enthusiastic response, Luo Bingbing turned to Snow Spirit Elder and said, "Old man, it's getting dark. Aren't you going to hurry up and hunt some game?"
Upon hearing Luo Bingbing's words, Snow Spirit Elder quickly replied, "I'm on my way."
With that, he swiftly left the backyard and flew toward the front yard. His destination was to call Xuan Ye to join him in hunting outside the city.
Once Snow Spirit Elder had departed, Luo Bingbing addressed her father, saying, "Father, tonight we need to discuss a plan for my disappearance to create a false impression for outsiders. You also need to leave the palace soon and return to Yang City for your duties. In a while, many people from other countries may arrive in Silver Moon Kingdom."
Lo An Lord nodded repeatedly at his beloved daughter's words and said, "I understand. Is it absolutely necessary to go to Ling Mountain?"
"Yes," Luo Bingbing replied calmly.
She sensed that her father was reluctant to part with her, which made her feel a bit sad. To divert his attention, she added, "Alright, Father, you should go greet the Emperor in the front yard!"
"Right, right! Look at me; I almost forgot that the Emperor is still in the front yard!" Lo An Lord exclaimed anxiously after the Little One's reminder.
"Come here! Father will carry you over," he said as he bent down toward his beloved daughter.
However, upon hearing his words, Luo Bingbing declined his offer and said lightly, "Father, you go ahead! I'll come shortly; I still have some matters to discuss with Luo Yi."
After hearing his beloved daughter's words, Lo An Lord had no choice but to retract his hands and said, "Alright then! I'll go ahead!"
After speaking, Lord Lo An slowly left the backyard.
Suddenly, only Luo Bingbing and the Little Beggar Luo Yi remained in the backyard. Seeing that her father had already left, Luo Bingbing instructed Luo Yi to follow her back to her study through the window.
Once they returned to the study, Luo Bingbing handed the jade pendant she had obtained from the First Bank to Luo Yi and asked him to take the documents on the table back to the house he had just purchased.
After giving him everything she needed to hand over, Luo Bingbing said to him, "Do not return to Prince Luo's Residence until I come back, understood?"
Upon hearing his Young Mistress's words, Luo Yi quickly replied, "Yes, my lady, I will remember."
Luo Bingbing nodded slightly and waved her hand, signaling Luo Yi to hurry and leave for the Beggar Clan's residence.
Seeing her gesture, Luo Yi said to the Little One, "Take care, my lady," before promptly leaving the study through the window.
Afterward, Luo Bingbing made her way to the courtyard of Piaoyun Pavilion.
As soon as Dongfang Hao saw that Little One finally appeared, he coldly remarked, "Little Doll, how could you make yourself disappear like that?"
