Chapter 10 I Really Can't Stand the Test
The next day, Xiao Ning was woken up by Yuzhu.
"My Lord, the princess is waiting for you to dine in the main hall. Hurry up and wash up!"
Xiao Ning rubbed her eyes and sat up, letting Yuzhu help her dress. After all, today was her wedding day, and Yuzhu picked out a brand new royal blue long gown with wide sleeves and a round neck. The hem of the gown was embroidered with round patterns, which looked very beautiful.
Xiao Ning sat in front of the dressing mirror, and Yuzhu put on her hair and a crown for her.
The person in the mirror had very fair skin, almond-shaped eyes and thin lips. Fortunately, her thick, black and upturned eyebrows suppressed the femininity of her entire face.
This face is quite similar to her previous face, but it is more tender and fair.
"Wow, the prince looks even more handsome than the most handsome young master in Shengjing."
Xiao Ning thought about the demeanor of the number one young master in Shengjing and felt that Yuzhu was being unfair to the little girl.
He was a peerless handsome man who was so elegant in every way he walked, sat or lay down that he attracted countless women in secluded rooms to fall in love with him. Even the original owner often looked at him from afar and adored his looks. How could she compare to his looks?
When Xiao Ning arrived at the main hall, Shang Xi had already drunk two cups of tea, but he did not blame her for coming late. He just invited her to sit and have dinner with him.
"Did you like the gift I gave you last night?"
Xiao Ning paused as he picked up his chopsticks. "...Ahem, I dare not use your Highness's men without permission. Besides, he has a strong physique and doesn't seem like someone who would be willing to be inferior to others."
Shang Xi propped up her chin, blinked her beautiful eyes, and said with a half-smile: "What kind of woman does the prince consort like? Thin and delicate?"
Xiao Ning: "...Ah, right."
Shang Xi immediately clapped his hands, and three thin young men with handsome looks came over and stood in front of Xiao Ning.
"Which one do you like? Or if you like them all, then keep them all. I'm not such a stingy person. Since we agreed to share our joys before marriage, I won't eat alone. Not only these, you can also go and see the ones in my backyard. If you like any of them, tell me. If they are willing, you can bring them to live with you."
Xiao Ning: “…”
No way, why is Princess Duanhui so warm and generous?
She really made me cry!
If she was really a man and a homosexual, she couldn't imagine how happy she would be.
What a pity she is not!
She is carrying a big secret that can kill nine generations of her family.
Xiao Ning looked at the three handsome young men in front of him, tears streaming from the corners of his mouth.
"Princess, please don't test me with this kind of thing anymore. I really can't stand it!"
"I'm not trying to test you. I'm sincere, and heaven and earth can bear witness to that."
Shang Xi said so.
After saying that, she glanced at Xiao Ning and said, "It can be seen that the Prince Consort likes both of them very much and it's hard to make a decision. In that case, Furong, have someone send them all to the Prince Consort's courtyard to serve them."
Xiao Ning: “???”
She grabbed Shang Xi's sleeve, her expression almost crying: "Princess..."
Shang Xi narrowed his eyes slightly, his scrutinizing gaze falling on her face, and said in a dangerous tone: "Prince Consort, I treat you sincerely, you'd better not disobey me."
Xiao Ning: “…”
She let go awkwardly, "I'm just too touched."
"Thank you, Princess. I'll drink first as a sign of respect." Xiao Ning picked up the bowl of porridge in front of him, tilted his head back and drank it in one gulp.
It doesn’t matter, let’s take it one step at a time.
If she keeps on making excuses, there's no guarantee that the princess won't find out something. She'll have no way out in the future. Just like she said to Yuzhu before, she'll go to hell with everyone else in the Marquis' Mansion. At least she'll have company on the road to the underworld.
After thinking it through, Xiao Ning's expression calmed down and he ate breakfast with great relish.
Although Shang Xi had a very bad reputation as a princess, her etiquette was impeccable.
Even when eating, his movements were slow and graceful, like a painting, extremely beautiful.
Shang Xi looks thin and frail, but he actually has a big appetite.
Xiao Ning waited for a long time before he finished eating. He slowly took the handkerchief handed to him by the maid and wiped the corner of his lips.
"Okay, go back and pack up. We're going to the palace to pay our respects to His Majesty and the Empress."
Xiao Ning: "...Okay."
Why do I feel like I'm the newlywed who has to meet my in-laws?
As soon as Xiao Ning entered the yard, she saw the three young men standing there. They looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. When they saw her come in, they immediately came to greet her.
"My Lord Prince Consort~"
Xiao Ning: “…”
She got goose bumps all over her body.
Xiao Ning raised his hand to stop them and said to Yuzhu beside him: "Go, let someone arrange accommodation for them first."
Then he looked at the others and said, "Since the princess has sent you here, you will follow my instructions from now on. Do you understand?"
Several people nodded in unison.
"Okay, now that the rooms are divided, you can go down. Try not to hang around me if you have nothing to do."
"...Does the Prince Consort dislike us?"
Xiao Ning: “…”
How could I not like it?
She loves it so much!
It’s because I like it so much that I’m afraid of not being able to control myself and making mistakes!
But can Xiao Ning say these? No.
She looked up at the sky in embarrassment.
Chunsheng glanced at Xiao Ning and stepped forward to persuade him, "Young masters, please go back first. The prince means that you can come and serve him when needed in the future. The prince is usually busy and may not have time to accompany you young masters."
Yuzhu asked someone to arrange the room, and when she came back she heard these words and quickly said, "Xiaolan, why don't you help the prince go in to change clothes? The princess will be kept waiting for a long time."
"Don't worry, my prince is a man of long-lasting affection. We will have many years to spend together in the future, so there is no need to rush."
About a quarter of an hour later, someone came to invite Xiao Ning.
"Your Highness, we are now ready to go. The princess told you to go directly to the main gate."
When Xiao Ning went out, Shang Xi was being helped onto the carriage. She was wearing an elegant red dress, with a flower ornament between her eyebrows, and her appearance was peerless.
Xiao Ning couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Shang Xi, who had just boarded the carriage, noticed her gaze and tilted his head to look at her. His tone was light, yet cold: "If you don't want your eyeballs anymore, I can have someone dig them out for you."
Xiao Ning: “…”
He is so fierce, he always wants to dig out her eyes.
Xiao Ning lowered his head, touched his eyelids, and muttered, "You're dressed so beautifully, but you're not allowed to even look at me..."
If she could wear women's clothes, she would definitely dress up and show off to others every day.
"Don't get in the car yet!"
Xiao Ning: "...Oh."
She climbed slowly into the carriage.
The interior of the carriage was very spacious. Shang Xi sat upright in the middle with a very good demeanor. In order to protect his eyes, Xiao Ning didn't dare to look around. He took a quick glance and found the farthest corner to hide.
Shang Xi glanced at the well-behaved people in the corner of his eyes, crossed his arms and closed his eyes to rest.
The carriage rumbled on, heading towards the palace.
As soon as you enter the palace, a young eunuch with a smile on his face comes to greet you.
"Your Majesty and His Majesty are both in Fenghua Palace, waiting for the Princess and the Prince Consort to arrive!"
The princess had a domineering nature ingrained in her. She showed no good expression to the eunuch serving the emperor. She simply said "hmm" and walked forward.
The young eunuch was very perceptive and immediately stepped forward to lead the way.
Xiao Ning followed Shang Xi with his eyelids drooping, his eyes following the hem of his red skirt.
