Chapter 159 How could I be interested in women?
"The Marquis is back, ah...I greet Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Yuzhu came out of the yard and happened to see Xiao Ning's back. She trotted over and saw Shang Xi was there too, so she hurriedly greeted him.
Shang Xi loved Xiao Ning's family and didn't want to show off to Xiao Ning's people, so he quickly gave her a fake support: "Miss Yuzhu, please get up quickly."
Yuzhu stood up, looked at her own Marquis's face, then looked at Shang Xi's face, and said, "What are you and the Princess doing standing outside the courtyard? Come inside..."
Xiao Ning glanced at Shang Xi, exhaled, and suppressed his chaotic emotions, "Let's go in first."
Shang Xi nodded, picked up her skirt and followed.
After entering the house, a maid brought a teacup. Xiao Ning took the tea and drank it without caring whether it was hot or not, as if to extinguish the absurd and beautiful thoughts in his heart.
"Be careful, it's hot..."
Shang Xi shouted.
Yuzhu also disagreed, saying, "My Lord, you can't drink like this even if you're thirsty. What if you burn your tongue..."
Having said that, she turned to look at the maid who had just served tea and said, "Yuchun, bring two more cups of tea."
The maid named Yuchun responded and left the room.
At this time, Xiao Ning spoke, his voice a little hoarse: "Yuzhu, His Majesty summoned me today, asking me to lead the troops to quell the rebellion. I will set off soon..."
Yuzhu paused upon hearing this and looked at Xiao Ning in disbelief: "How could he let you lead the troops? You have only been out of Shengjing City a few times in your life, how could you know how to lead troops in battle..."
She subconsciously raised her hand and rubbed her head, "Don't worry, I know my limits."
Shang Xi looked at the intimacy between the master and servant, his eyes dimmed, he lowered his eyes, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of it to his lips.
Seeing this, Furong sighed quietly in her heart.
"I don't want to play coy with them, but this news will probably spread quickly. They might ask you a few questions then, so just tell the truth."
Yuzhu's eyes were red as she nodded and said, "This servant knows how to deal with them, you don't have to worry..."
"I am most assured that you will do your job properly."
Xiao Ning paused, looked at Shang Xi, who was drinking tea, and said, "While I'm away, could Your Highness, please take care of Yuzhu and the others?"
Shang Xi looked up at her and nodded, "Don't worry."
Even if she didn't say it, he would take care of her.
Xiao Ning then instructed Yuzhu on some things, and Yuzhu agreed to them one by one.
Shang Xi sat aside and looked at her quietly.
Seeing that she was much more intimate with the maid than with her, he felt a sense of bitterness in his heart.
Maybe she really hates him...
Just like he hated other men getting close to him.
The news spread faster than Xiao Ning expected. While she was still talking to Yuzhu, her elders arrived.
The maid said she wanted to report, so they stood at the door and waited obediently.
The last time such a scene happened was when she first came here. They spoke harshly to her, rolled their eyes to the sky, and scolded her one by one. But only a little over a year later, they became well-behaved and kind, as if they were really good elders who loved their younger generations.
Xiao Ning said through the curtain, "This room of mine is too small to invite you elders in to sit down. I'm really sorry, everyone please go back."
From outside came the sound of a cane hitting the ground, and a heavy snort: "Unfilial and unbrotherly evil creature!"
Xiao Ning didn't react much to this, but Shang Xi was very angry.
He stood up and left the room.
"What do you mean, Madam? How is the Prince Consort unfilial? Our dynasty rules the world with filial piety. Do you think that Your Majesty is blind and heartless, and that Dayong has no one, so you chose an unfilial and unbrotherly person to go out and quell the rebellion?"
Old lady: “…”
Being scolded by the princess, her granddaughter-in-law, she looked unhappy, but she didn't dare to talk back.
Because the accusation he made was too broad, and if he wasn't careful, it could easily lead to the accusation of disrespecting the royal family...
Seeing this, Shen said, "Princess, calm down. Mother didn't mean that... She hasn't seen Sanlang for a long time and misses him terribly. After all, after leaving, she doesn't know when she'll see him again..."
"Miss me..."
Xiao Ning lifted the curtain, leaned against the door and looked at the few people with a lazy look.
The old lady got angry when she saw her, "Why didn't you come to me and report to me before going out to quell such a big event?"
Xiao Ning opened his mouth and said: "I'm afraid you will curse me."
"you!"
The old lady angrily knocked the ground several times with her snake-headed cane, but because the princess was present, she did not dare to say anything unpleasant.
Seeing this, Shen laughed and said, "Look at what Sanlang is saying. If you can successfully suppress the rebellion, it will be a great honor for our mansion. How could anyone curse you?"
Xiao Ning smiled: "That's hard to say, maybe you guys want me to die..."
Before she could finish her words, her lips were covered by a slender white hand. She lowered her eyes and met the princess's angry eyes.
"Could you please stop talking nonsense? Do you understand why we should avoid prophecies?"
The cold fragrance came into her nose again. Xiao Ning's throat rolled and he turned his head to take her hand away.
"You all came to see me, didn't you? You've seen me now, you can leave now."
After Xiao Ning finished speaking, he returned to his room.
After the curtain was lowered, she let out a long breath and raised her hand to press on her chest.
The warmth of his palm seemed to still remain on her lips.
My heart is beating a little fast.
She was very sure that this wasn't the original owner's feelings at work, so...
She hurried to the table and sat down, picked up the unfinished tea and drank it in one gulp. Only after she finished did she realize that it was the princess's cup.
Xiao Ning: “…”
She was so annoyed that she wanted to throw the cup away, but she paused in mid-air and finally put the cup on the table.
Forget it, why would she get angry with a cup?
That's her problem.
It was she who overstepped the boundaries first, not knowing the boundaries clearly, causing Her Royal Highness the Princess to have thoughts that she shouldn't have.
He was now unable to control his emotions, and this was reflected on her.
Whether the princess really liked her or not was unknown, but Xiao Ning felt that perhaps it was the hormones in her body that were causing the problem...
Her sexual orientation should be fine.
But why did she have such a strange reaction to the princess's close contact...
Xiao Ning suspected that she had been pretending to be a man for so long that she considered herself a man, which led to the vigorous secretion of male hormones, and that was why...
How else to explain it?
It can't be...
No way, no way, how could she be interested in women?
She likes handsome men.
The footsteps outside faded away, the curtain was lifted, and Shang Xi and his servant walked in.
Shang Xi seemed a little angry. "Be careful with your words in the future and stop talking nonsense!"
Xiao Ning lowered his eyes, not daring to look at him, and only said "hmm" softly.
Shang Xi sat down on the other side, picked up the teacup, but found it was empty. He looked up at Xiao Ning, opened his mouth, but said nothing.
Xiao Ning glanced to the side and saw Shang Xi holding the cup. Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly called out to Yuzhu, "There's no tea left. Why don't you get someone to add more?"
