Chapter 139 Thank you for showing mercy, Prince Consort
"Then Princess, is there anything you want to play? I will play with you."
Xiao Ning said.
Shang Xi thought for a moment and shook his head, "I've never played with anything fun before. They never took me with them, so I didn't know what fun things were..."
Xiao Ning: “…”
Looking back on my memory, it seems to be true.
Shengjing City is full of powerful people, and they love to hold all kinds of banquets, including polo, cuju, and pitching pots...
In my impression, other princes and princesses played together with the young men and ladies of various families, but Princess Duanhui always sat alone on the stage watching, or simply didn't come.
Everyone said that Princess Duanhui was domineering and unwilling to have fun.
Xiao Ning's heart softened even more.
"Then... shall I teach you how to pitch a pot?"
This is a bit simpler and does not require a special venue.
The original owner often played with her friends, and she remembered all the movements and key points clearly.
Shang Xi's eyes seemed to light up when he heard this, "Really?"
Xiao Ning nodded heavily, "Really!"
Shang Xi smiled, and his eyes turned red as he smiled.
Xiao Yanqing, why are you so nice?
Shang Xi felt his heart beating wildly, and he indulged himself to love her a little more.
Meeting her might be the only good luck in his life...
Xiao Ning: “…”
No, why does it feel like the princess suddenly seems even sadder?
Did Princess Huaxun's departure hit him so hard...
Xiao Ning hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward, took Shang Xi's hand, squeezed it, and said, "Don't be sad. She's gone, but I'm still here. From now on, just think of me as your sister... uh, or your brother, whatever. I'll always be with you."
Shang Xi: "...Who wants you to be my brother or sister? Also...I'm older than you, don't take advantage of me."
Xiao Ning smiled and said, "It's all the same. Let's go and play pot tossing!"
The pot and arrows used for throwing pots were quickly prepared. Xiao Ning first briefly explained the rules to Shang Xi, and then taught him the key points of the movements step by step.
Shang Xi couldn't concentrate on studying at all because of her touching.
He felt that he had really shot himself in the foot...
It would be better for the two of them to sit together quietly and read a book.
Shang Xi pushed Xiao Ning away and said in a hoarse voice, "I think I've learned it. Take a look and see if it's correct..."
Xiao Ning: "...Why is your voice hoarse again?"
Shang Xi said awkwardly: "I... am a little thirsty."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ning poured a cup of tea and handed it to Shang Xi.
Furong stood aside and watched calmly, feeling amused at Shang Xi's innocence. The prince consort just touched his shoulders and arms a few times, and he became so confused and infatuated.
Tsk, it’s too disgusting to watch.
Shang Xi took the tea and took a few sips, then handed the cup to Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning casually placed the teacup on the table beside him and signaled Shang Xi to start the game of pitching the pot.
Shang Xi thought about the method Xiao Ning taught him, took several aim, and threw it out.
No.
But the movements are barely standard.
Xiao Ning clapped his hands, his emotions full: "Not bad, not bad, the movements are quite standard, keep it up!"
Shang Xi: “…”
He drew out an arrow, took aim, and continued to throw.
I won this time.
"The princess is amazing!"
Shang Xi lowered his eyes and smiled, then pulled out an arrow and held it in his hand. He raised his eyes again and asked Xiao Ning, "Is there a reward?"
Xiao Ning: "...What reward does the princess want?"
Shang Xi's eyes fell on her lips, and he quickly looked away, "Well... next time you come back from your day off, can you still cook for me?"
As long as she agrees, he will return to the princess's mansion during his next day off.
He would be able to see her again...
Since Xiao Ning inherited the title, he has returned to the princess's mansion only a few times, and spends most of his time in the marquis's mansion.
Xiao Ning thought he would ask for some reward, but he didn't expect it to be so simple.
She smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll make you something delicious every time I come back from my day off!"
Shang Xi was a little surprised, "Really?"
Xiao Ning asked with a smile: "Have I ever lied to you?"
Shang Xi shook his head, a smile in his eyes, "No."
Shang Xi threw it herself for a while and soon became proficient, which made Xiao Ning sigh with admiration: "Princess, you are really smart. You learn everything so quickly!"
Shang Xi blushed at the compliment, "No way, it's obviously you who taught me well."
Xiao Ning was also pleased with the compliment and laughed heartily, "Then Your Highness, would you like to compete with me?"
Shang Xi responded with a smile: "Okay, but my dear husband, please show some mercy."
Furong acted as referee, keeping score for the two.
To be honest, Xiao Ning's battle against Shang Xi was a bit of a bully. She was good at all kinds of hot weapons, cold weapons, long-range and close-range attacks, and pitching pots... Although she only inherited the original owner's memory, it was not a difficult task for her.
But fortunately, Xiao Ning was just trying to please others, and his level changed with Shang Xi.
Sometimes he made mistakes, sometimes he was ahead, and in the end the score was still two points lower than Shang Xi.
Shang Xi was indeed cheered up, and said to Xiao Ning with a smile: "Thank you, Prince Consort, for showing mercy."
Xiao Ning smiled and replied, "It is my honor to make the princess smile."
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time. Her Royal Highness the Princess, who always paid attention to her manners, was laughing out loud like Xiao Ning, holding her belly.
Furong: “…”
She didn't understand what was so funny about it.
But it was rare for her to see Shang Xi smile so happily.
The two laughed for a long time before standing up straight, with Xiao Ning's eyes still smiling.
She asked, "Is the princess happy now?"
Shang Xi nodded, "Very happy."
This day was happier than the past eighteen years combined.
Xiao Ning personally cooked for him, taught him how to play pot-throwing, and even deliberately lost to him...
The two played a few more rounds, and in the blink of an eye it was getting dark. They had dinner together again. Shang Xi no longer had an excuse to keep her, so he could only watch her walk away and disappear under the moon arch.
Xiao Ning returned to Fuqiu Garden.
The princess no longer had to go on a marriage alliance, and the lives of her male favorites returned to normal, reading and writing every day, which was very pleasant.
Seeing Xiao Ning coming back, several people gathered around and shouted in surprise: "Prince Consort~"
Xiao Ning smiled and nodded at them.
Such a handsome guy is really pleasing to the eyes.
"My Lord, I heard from the servants in the palace that you defeated that Xiongnu prince in the arena last time. You are truly amazing!"
Xiao Ning smiled and said, "That's not true. How are you doing with your studies recently? I have some free time right now, so I'll give you a test."
The smiles on their faces disappeared instantly.
Xiao Ning's smile also faded, and he looked at Yu Qing: "Bring the book here."
Yu Qing replied with a smile.
Several people looked at Yu Qing eagerly. Yu Qing gave them a look that said "May the best for you" and went back to get the book.
Yu Qing came back quickly, handed the book to Xiao Ning, and told Xiao Ning about the progress of the lecture.
Xiao Ning began to ask random questions.
After several rounds of questions, it turned out that the seemingly clever Qiong Yin was the worst learner. Even Fu Xian answered half of the questions correctly.
Qiong Yin looked at Xiao Ning, swallowed her saliva, and looked aggrieved and like she was about to cry.
