Chapter 152 Can You Call My Name Again?
During the meal, Xiao Ning suddenly remembered something and asked, "Your Highness, where would you put things like the Clan Records and the Surname Records?"
Shang Xi glanced at her and asked, "Why are you asking this?"
Xiao Ning: "Just asking casually. If the princess doesn't want to answer, forget it."
Shang Xi: "...I don't want to answer. Most of these things are in the Ministry of Personnel, and there are also archives of local governments. There are many clans in Dayong, and there are so many archives that I guess several rooms can't store them all."
Xiao Ning: “…”
So how did Huang Chao execute people by holding the family tree?
Looking at Xiao Ning's expression, Shang Xi vaguely guessed something. He felt shocked and unbelievable.
That’s a noble family.
A noble family that has been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years.
No one has ever had such a terrifying idea. Even when emperors of all dynasties were at their most violent, they were only restraining each other with the clans.
Clans have always been a process of growth and decline.
Never...
Shang Xi glanced at Xiao Ning, who was still frowning and thinking about something.
I always thought she was kind, but I didn't expect she could be so cruel.
Shang Xi couldn't help but sigh.
He was originally moved by her sincerity, but when she was determined to expose the truth, he seemed to like it even more.
This is the person he likes...
How can you be so courageous?
Xiao Ning looked up and saw Shang Xi staring at him with a lustful look on his face.
“…”
No, she was increasingly doubtful about whether this man could accomplish anything.
What's the matter with staring at her like she's thinking about love?
Xiao Ning knocked on the table speechlessly, "Have you seen enough?"
Shang Xi came back to his senses and met Xiao Ning's eyes. His ears turned red first. "Who looked at you? I was just thinking about what to eat tomorrow morning."
Xiao Ning: “…”
The tough-talking princess lives up to her reputation.
Xiao Ning had something on his mind and didn't have the heart to laugh and joke with him.
He lowered his head and started eating.
I thought to myself, why not go to the Ministry of Personnel at night to find out the truth.
Then Shang Xi said, "I can help you."
Xiao Ning looked up, with rice still in her mouth, her cheeks puffed up, and her lips wet, making her lips look even softer and pinker.
So cute.
Shang Xi traced his gaze over her lips, then reluctantly looked away. He said, "I've read the 'Clan Records' before and can write it down from memory. The Ministry of Personnel's 'Clan Records' dates back five hundred years, so even reading through them would take time. I can just write about the current dynasty."
Xiao Ning was surprised and his almond-shaped eyes widened.
Even cuter.
I really want to kiss you...
She swallowed the food in her mouth hastily and choked. She quickly picked up the soup at hand and drank two sips.
"You, you mean, you can recite the entire "Clan Chronicle"?"
Shang Xi nodded, staring at her without blinking.
Xiao Ning sighed, "I only knew that Her Royal Highness was smart, but I didn't expect she was such a genius, with a photographic memory..."
Why doesn't she have such ability?
Shang Xi lowered his eyes when he heard this, "What do you mean by photographic memory? It's just that when I was little, I was always alone and bored. I saw a lot, so I remembered it."
It is true that a person is bored, but there are so many books in the palace library, there must be some interesting books that can relieve boredom. Why does one need to read such a boring "Clan Records" to kill time?
It's just because he is interested in the clan.
After all...if the clan hadn't caused chaos, the emperor might not have had the courage to rebel, and he wouldn't have had to dress up as a woman and compromise all day long.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Ning's heart began to feel bitter again.
She raised her hand, touched Shang Xi's head, and said without thinking: "I will accompany you in the future. I will never let you be alone again."
Shang Xi: "Really?"
Xiao Ning: “…”
She bit her tongue and finally nodded: "Really."
Shang Xi's face gradually turned red, but his eyes were still fixed on Xiao Ning: "You are not allowed to regret what you said."
Xiao Ning felt uneasy being stared at, but as a woman of her word, she suppressed her chaotic emotions and nodded, "No regrets!"
I just wonder if the princess will regret it after she finds out that she is a woman.
Shang Xi smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque.
Xiao Ning suddenly lowered his head and ate his meal in silence.
Shang Xi looked at Xiao Ning, who suddenly lowered her head to eat rice, frowned, picked up some vegetables and put them in her bowl, "Don't just focus on eating, eat more vegetables."
Xiao Ning ate his meal and responded softly.
Xiao Ning finished his meal and took his leave, saying, "Your Highness, enjoy your meal. I have something to do and will leave first..."
"stop!"
Shang Xi shouted unhappily.
"How important is your matter that you won't even wait for me to finish my meal before leaving?"
"I just said you would always be with me."
"You wouldn't even finish a meal with me."
"Forget it. I was born to be a lonely star. It's good enough that you can tell a few lies to make me happy."
"Go away..."
Xiao Ning: “…”
She felt anxious and short of breath, and it was difficult for her to breathe here.
But seeing that the princess looked aggrieved, sad but sensible, Xiao Ning could no longer move his legs.
She exhaled, took two steps back, and sat back down.
"I will not leave. Princess, please eat slowly."
Shang Xi looked at her, "Do you hate me?"
Xiao Ning: "Nothing..."
Shang Xi curled the corners of his lips, "I know this even if you don't tell me. Otherwise, why are you always in such a hurry every time you come back from vacation? You don't want to see me if you can."
"Now he won't even eat a meal with me."
Xiao Ning: "...I didn't."
Shang Xi: "If you say no, then no."
Xiao Ning: “…”
No, can you please stop being unreasonable?
What do you mean if she says no, then no?
Xiao Ning was rarely angry. She twisted his shoulders, stared into his eyes, and said in a tight voice with a hint of anger: "Shang Xi, I have never hated you. You should stop speculating about other people's thoughts all the time, okay?"
Shang Xi stared at her blankly for a long while before speaking: "Can you... call my name again?"
Xiao Ning: “…”
What the hell?
Shang Xi coughed lightly, avoided her gaze, and whispered, "This is the first time someone called me by my name. I almost forgot what my name is."
It turns out that this name sounds so nice when it comes out of her mouth.
Xiao Ning: "...I just overstepped my bounds. Your Highness, please eat quickly. I will accompany you."
Shang Xi said "Oh" in disappointment and continued eating.
The people around him would look at him from time to time, which made Shang Xi feel satisfied.
He liked her eyes on him.
I feel like I am cherished by her.
Shang Xi finally finished his meal. Xiao Ning waited for him to rinse his mouth and wash his hands before standing up with him.
After leaving the flower hall, Xiao Ning took her leave. Shang Xi had no excuse to stop her this time, so he nodded slightly and forced a smile: "Have a good rest."
Xiao Ning nodded and left. After taking two steps, he turned back and smiled at Shang Xi, "Shang Xi, good night."
After saying that, he turned around and walked away.
Shang Xi was left staring at her back, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
