Chapter 11 Why don’t you say a few words for your man?
As soon as I entered Fenghua Palace, I saw that there were not only the emperor and the empress, but also many concubines and dozens of princes and princesses.
Xiao Ning didn't dare to look around anymore. She just stood beside Shang Xi with her eyes lowered, and did whatever he did.
He bowed and said, "Duan Hui greets the Imperial Uncle and the Imperial Aunt."
She knelt and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live your Majesty, and may your Majesty live a thousand years."
"Hurry up and stand up. I am the elder today, so you two should stop going through all that formality."
The hearty sound of a middle-aged man's laughter was heard, and Xiao Ning stood up and glanced up quickly when he stood up.
The emperor was middle-aged, with a big belly, but he looked kind. He didn't seem like someone who would treat the orphan of the previous emperor harshly. Perhaps the princess herself was unruly and loved freedom.
The queen has a square and round face, the kind of look that indicates peace and prosperity for the country and the people. Her behavior is also very dignified and appropriate, which is in line with her status as the mother of a country.
Then he followed Shang Xi and greeted everyone in the room in various ways. Xiao Ning was overwhelmed with gifts.
The emperor, empress and concubines were all normal, but when it came to the princes and princesses, they spoke with sarcasm, making all kinds of sarcasm and ridicule, which were obviously directed at Princess Duanhui, but every word was a stab at her.
Xiao Ning felt miserable.
Princess Duanhui had offended many people, and they didn't dare to bully her, so they just grabbed her and started to pick on her. The princess seemed to be blind, and was only busy chatting with herself, not paying any attention to her at all.
After all, she is his consort. If others bully her, isn't that just a slap in his face?
After talking for a while, the emperor had some official business to attend to, so he left first.
As soon as the emperor left, the other concubines and princes and princesses also took their leave with various excuses.
Watching everyone leave, the Queen smiled and took Shang Xi's hand: "It's quiet now. Duan Hui and the Prince Consort should stay and have lunch with me. It's a good opportunity for us to have a chat."
"Then Duan Hui won't be polite. When the time comes, please don't complain that Duan Hui eats too much~"
Shang Xi squeezed in beside the queen, holding her arm, and spoke in a sweet voice.
The Queen pursed her lips and smiled, pretending to pat him, "When has the Imperial Aunt ever disliked you?"
Xiao Ning shuddered.
The princess's normal speaking voice was quite nice, as it was difficult to tell whether it was male or female, but this pinch made it sound extremely awkward and sticky.
The two of them were talking animatedly, while Xiao Ning sat beside them, looking at his toes, his mind full of wild thoughts.
This is only the first day of marriage, and the wedding leave will last for a month.
She still had to endure for a long time before she could go to work. A prince from a marquisate like her should be able to get some special treatment in the barracks, right? Living alone or something, so she wouldn't have to go back to the princess's mansion every day. She was really afraid of the handsome men the princess would force upon her, the ones she couldn't eat or touch.
If she didn't touch the princess, she would feel dissatisfied, and she might give her two more. It was too enthusiastic and she couldn't handle it.
But I definitely can't bring Yuzhu to work when the time comes. She is too useful. In modern times, she is a true gold medal secretary, considerate and considerate.
Then I can only bring Chunsheng. The boy is fair and handsome, honest and loyal. I feel he is doing well these days.
While my thoughts were in turmoil, it was lunch time.
Xiao Ning finished the meal diligently in silence, and Princess Duanhui finally said goodbye to the queen.
Xiao Ning once again followed Shang Xi like a pendant, following her steps towards the palace gate.
It's easy to feel sleepy after eating. After getting on the carriage, Xiao Ning found a corner farthest away from Shang Xi and sat down as usual. Then he lowered his head, intending to take a nap.
After Shang Xi sat down, he saw Xiao Ning sitting in the corner with his head lowered. His expression could not be seen, but his curled up figure inexplicably gave people a feeling of being aggrieved and unhappy.
Shang Xi raised an eyebrow, "Why, are you angry?"
He saw all the princes and princesses bullying and mocking Xiao Ning. He wanted to see how his consort, who was no less dissolute than he was, would respond. But she said nothing and let herself be ridiculed.
The sudden voice woke Xiao Ning, who was about to fall asleep. She opened her eyelids and glanced at Shang Xi. Seeing that he was talking to himself, she lowered her head again, intending to continue her sleep.
"Xiao Yanqing, you claim to be one of Shengjing City's most regal dandies. How come after entering the palace you act like a gourd with its mouth sawed off, daring not to even fart?"
Yan Qing is Xiao Ning's pen name.
Xiao Ning woke up.
So this is talking to her.
Xiao Ning raised her head, a speechless expression: "Princess, you speak so rudely, why didn't you speak up for your man earlier?"
The phrase "your man" successfully disgusted Shang Xi. He sneered, "You're a coward, you deserve to be bullied!"
It must be said that the disgusted expression on Shang Xi's face pleased Xiao Ning, and he was half awake from his sleep.
She sighed softly, spread her hands, and said deliberately, "I am a coward, but I am your husband now. We share the same fate. If they insult me, they are insulting you, Princess. Don't you care about your dignity? Let them ride on your husband's head and shit on him."
Shang Xi: "Shut up!"
Seeing Shang Xi being defeated by her calling him "your husband" left and right, and sitting there with a sullen face, Xiao Ning was in a good mood.
"You won't let me tell you the truth? Princess, you are so overbearing."
Receiving Shang Xi's sharp glance, Xiao Ning put away his gloating expression and slapped his lips, "You're such a bad mouth! You've made the princess angry again. You deserve a beating!"
Shang Xi: “…”
Shang Xi really wanted to order someone to smash the bastard's mouth, but she was afraid that she would enjoy the beating.
All the way to the princess's mansion, neither of them said another word.
Shang Xi got out of the car and was about to return to her courtyard when Xiao Ning stopped her. "Okay, Your Highness, I've already accompanied you to meet His Majesty and the Queen. Wouldn't it be a bit unreasonable for you not to go back with me to the Marquis' Mansion to meet the old Marquis and the old lady?"
Shang Xi raised an eyebrow, "Is your Majesty teaching me how to do things?"
Xiao Ning bowed, "...I dare not, I dare not. After all, we are husband and wife now. The old marquis and the old lady are also the princess's elders. It would be inappropriate not to go, right?"
She really wanted to invite the princess, like a big Buddha, to go to the marquis's mansion to scare those good-for-nothings who only knew how to fight among themselves.
Shang Xi suddenly moved closer to Xiao Ning, "Prince Xiao, what on earth are you planning?"
Xiao Ning: “…”
She glanced around subconsciously, then quickly looked back at Shang Xi and coughed lightly, "Princess, this is etiquette."
"But I have always been rude."
Xiao Ning: “…”
You are so rude! You are so polite in front of the emperor and the empress!
You just treat people differently based on their status.
Xiao Ning sighed and pretended to be sad: "Alright, I know that the princess looks down on me, and by extension, she also looks down on the Marquis' Mansion. I understand all this. I will not embarrass the princess. I will go to the Marquis' Mansion by myself tonight."
Shang Xi sneered, "Xiao Yanqing, don't think that I don't know what you're thinking."
"Your crying and screaming outside a few days ago caused quite a stir. Your heroic deeds are still being spread all over Shengjing City."
"You called me over here just to use me to bully them."
Xiao Ning's mouth twitched.
Princess, are you so smart?
