Chapter 330 Welcome His Highness back to the palace!
Xiao Ning doesn't only like pretty girls.
Tonight is a tough battle, so naturally we will do it in the most appropriate way.
After Xiao Ning changed her clothes, Shang Xi pushed her to sit in front of the dressing mirror.
"Let me help you put on your makeup."
Xiao Ning: "...No need."
Shang Xi said: "Yes."
Seeing Shang Xi's enthusiasm, Xiao Ning stopped insisting: "Then make it more imposing for me."
Shang Xi said: "Don't worry!"
He lifted Xiao Ning's chin with one hand, opened the makeup box with the other, and put on makeup for her.
Her lips were slightly pursed and her eyes were focused.
Xiao Ning looked at Shang Xi doing her makeup so seriously, and the corners of her lips unconsciously curled up.
"Don't laugh. If you laugh any longer, the powder won't be applied evenly."
Xiao Ning: “…”
After half a minute, Shang Xi let her go.
Xiao Ning was about to turn around when Shang Xi suddenly leaned over and kissed her on the lips.
As soon as they kissed, Xiao Ning pushed him away.
"Stop it, your makeup will get ruined."
Shang Xi hugged her, not wanting to let go, "Aning, you are so beautiful, I can't help myself..."
Xiao Ning chuckled and pushed him away, "Come on."
As he spoke, he turned his face away.
So, Xiao Ning looked at the face in the mirror and was stunned.
I have lived two lifetimes and have never worn makeup once. The first time I dressed up, I looked surprisingly good.
She raised her hands in disbelief and pinched her face.
"This... is me?"
She can actually be so pretty...
Shang Xi approached her from behind.
A muffled laugh escaped his throat.
"It's you, Aning. How is it? Are you satisfied with this makeup?"
That’s so satisfying!
Xiao Ning looked at himself in the mirror again and again curiously.
It was rare for Shang Xi to see Xiao Ning act like a daughter, and the joy in her heart almost overflowed.
He hugged her from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said with a smile: "Then I will put makeup on you every day from now on, okay?"
"OK."
Xiao Ning looked at himself in the mirror again, then stood up and said to Shang Xi, "Change your clothes and let's go together."
Shang Xi was stunned when he heard this, "I'm going too?"
Xiao Ning said: "Of course."
Shang Xi said, "If I go, they might not be able to tell the priorities."
Xiao Ning said, "It's their problem if they can't figure out the priorities. There's no reason to hide you because of their problems."
Shang Xi couldn't help but feel soft and sour in his heart when he heard this.
How could his Aning be so nice?
Shang Xi smiled and moved closer to kiss her again, but Xiao Ning blocked his way with her fingers.
"Go change your clothes."
Shang Xi held her wrist, kissed her fingers, and then turned around to change clothes.
Xiao Ning: “…”
She looked at Shang Xi's back and let out a breath, this witch.
Shang Xi changed into clothes of the same color that matched Xiao Ning's and went to the banquet with her.
…
The adults in Shengjing City stayed in the Weiyang Palace for a whole day.
They were more or less involved in all the palace coups in the past.
But this time...
They don't even know who it is.
After staying in Weiyang Palace for a whole day, they communicated with each other, but they didn't find out any information at all.
Everyone had a bad feeling in their hearts.
But they have families behind them and hold official positions, so no matter who succeeds, they have to rely on them.
The statement that the emperor and the clan rule the world together is not just talk.
This is how they comfort themselves.
But it has been a whole day, and apart from the soldiers stationed here and watching them, no one has come to ask a single question.
They have to be watched when they want to go to the toilet...
The words of comfort I offer seem particularly pale.
Everyone waited anxiously.
finally……
"Silence, the general is coming!"
A shout was heard, and everyone instantly quieted down, with all pairs of eyes looking towards the palace gate.
A man and a woman walked in from outside the hall.
The man walked with an elegant demeanor and a leisurely pace, while the woman walked with her legs wide open and without any manners, looking more like a country woman.
Everyone watched as the two approached.
This man... seems to be Princess Duanhui?
I heard before that Princess Duanhui was not a princess, but the son of the late emperor.
Later, there were rumors that he was not the son of the previous emperor and his background was questionable.
But now, it doesn’t matter whether his background is in doubt or not, because he is the ultimate winner.
But everyone couldn't help but be surprised at his abilities.
He disguised himself as a woman for several years and left Shengjing for only half a year, but he was able to lead a large army back to Shengjing.
Fighting for the throne would be fine, but why did they have to give them a show of force...
Forget it, young man, when you suddenly achieve success, it is inevitable that you will be ignorant of your own limitations.
There is still a long time to go, and they will slowly teach this young prince the principles of life.
"Your Highness is welcome back to the palace!"
The officials in Weiyang Palace knelt down one after another and paid homage to Shang Xi.
Although he called him "Your Highness", this etiquette... was clearly based on the emperor's standards.
Shang Xi: “…”
Everyone said he wouldn't come.
He glanced sideways at Xiao Ning, only to see her looking at the gentlemen kneeling on the ground with an excited look on her face.
Xiao Ning didn't rush to say anything. She held Shang Xi's hand and walked step by step to the higher ground. Then she turned around and shouted to the adults kneeling on the ground: "Everyone, please get up quickly."
Everyone could feel Shang Xi walking past them.
But he actually didn't let them get up...
Even when the late emperor was alive, he would not dare to act like this!
They felt that this boy was being arrogant, and were secretly thinking that they would have to teach him a lesson later.
Suddenly, they heard a clear female voice telling them to stand up.
Shang Xi didn't say anything. They still didn't dare to stand up, but just looked up.
The two men stood side by side, both wearing black and gold-woven wide-sleeved casual clothes, a perfect match.
However, it is inevitable that His Highness dotes too much on this ignorant woman.
When they were walking just now, this woman would occasionally be half a step faster than His Highness, and now she was even taking over his duties and helping them stand up.
Could it be that this woman saved His Highness's life?
Even if I saved his life, it won’t work!
Isn’t this reversing Tiangang!
"Why don't you all stand up? Are you waiting for me to go down and help you?"
The woman spoke again.
Everyone's eyes fell on Shang Xi's face again, waiting for him to speak.
Shang Xi felt helpless and simply looked up at the sky.
Everyone: “…”
So His Highness deliberately let this woman embarrass them.
Why?
He hasn't ascended the throne yet!
Are you making such a fuss because you think you won’t need them in the future?
Xiao Ning was completely speechless this time.
"Why are you always looking at him? I'm the one in charge."
What the hell?
What the hell did she just say?
Who is in charge?
Only then did everyone's eyes truly fall on Xiao Ning.
When I saw it, I suddenly felt that it looked familiar.
I seem to have seen it somewhere...
But where had they seen it before? No one could remember for a moment.
The first people to react were the people from the Marquis' Mansion.
Xiao Zheng quietly bumped into Xiao Xun's arm and whispered, "Brother, does this woman look a bit like Sanlang?"
Xiao Xun looked at the woman in black and gold attire high above him and nodded, "She does look a bit like..."
