Chapter 363: Stealing a Half Day of Leisure
On the day of the Qionglin Banquet, Xiao Ning brought Shang Xi with him.
Ever since Shang Xi appeared, everyone couldn't help but look at Yu Qing.
Unexpectedly, Yu Qing was very calm.
He even raised the wine in his glass towards Shang Xi.
The people around couldn't help but gasp.
This champion is really too bold...
A former male favorite who couldn't even be considered a mistress actually dared to show off in front of someone else's husband.
Xiao Ning glared at Yu Qing and turned to look at Shang Xi.
But he calmly poured himself a full glass of wine.
He raised his glass and said to Yu Qing, "In the future, Mr. Top Scholar, you must do your best to help His Majesty with his worries."
Yu Qing felt a little disappointed when she saw that Shang Xi was not angry.
"Sharing your majesty's worries is my duty as a minister, and I will bear this in mind."
Xiao Ning didn't stay at the banquet for long. After serving wine and giving instructions, he left with Shang Xi.
As soon as the two left, the table became lively.
Someone complained to a classmate who was close to him, "What do you think His Majesty is thinking? Bringing together old and new loves..."
The classmate didn't understand either, "You have to ask His Majesty. How would I know? Maybe... it's because he has a way of controlling his husband?"
"Hey, those two grown men are really willing to submit to His Majesty..."
"Why wouldn't you accept it? He's His Majesty, the most powerful man in the world, and he's in his prime, handsome, and they're not fools."
"Yes, Your Majesty is different from all the women in Shengjing City. She is quite... charming."
"It's a pity that the Royal Highness is jealous and doesn't allow Your Majesty to take a concubine, otherwise I would also like to be her servant..."
"...Ah? Brother Wang, are you okay?"
Meeting his friend's incredulous look, Brother Wang's mouth twitched.
Is it shameful to like a woman like Your Majesty?
"If you ask me, women should be gentle and weak to be loved."
"Brother Zhao, you are wrong. A weak woman is certainly lovable, but a strong woman is even more attractive."
“…”
A young man in an embroidered green official robe came to Yu Qing with a wine glass in his hand and toasted him with a smile.
"Brother Qiu, you are so brave to confront the Emperor head-on."
Yu Qing smiled and said, "Brother Fu, you can't say that. When have I ever confronted His Highness?"
The man raised his eyebrows and pointed at Yu Qing, "Brother Qiu, you are still pretending with me. We are both men, who doesn't understand who."
"Speaking of which, Your Majesty, how does it feel? I haven't had a woman like this before..."
Halfway through his words, he realized he had made a mistake and raised his glass with a smile, "Brother Qiu, come on, have some drinks, I'll toast you a glass!"
Yu Qing clinked glasses with him with a smile, but couldn't help feeling bored.
This group of people combined are not as interesting as Xiao Ning and his wife.
Yu Qing supported his chin, twirled the wine glass in his hand, and lazily watched the excitement on the scene.
He was in the midst of the excitement, but felt like an outsider.
Yu Qing found the Xiao Ning couple, who he found interesting, quietly leaving the city.
Shang Xi got off the carriage and said worriedly, "Aning, is it really okay for us to leave the city like this without any guards?"
Xiao Ning took his hand and said, "Why, you don't believe your wife?"
Of course Shang Xi believed his wife.
"But you are now the emperor, and those people still hate you. If your whereabouts are revealed..."
"My counter-detection methods are not comparable to those good-for-nothings in Shengjing City. Don't worry, my whereabouts will not be exposed."
Shang Xi thought about it and agreed.
So he firmly shook her hand and asked with a smile, "Where are we going now?"
I had said before during Qingming Festival that I would take him out for an outing, but I have been busy all the time. Today I finally have some free time.
"I don't know where to go, so why don't we just go wherever we want?"
"OK!"
The two smiled at each other, holding hands and running on the green grass.
Shang Xi was tired from running, so the two of them walked hand in hand along the river.
Willows sway by the river.
The tender green willow branches were swaying in the wind. Shang Xi grabbed them, plucked off a few willow leaves and threw them on Xiao Ning's head.
When Xiao Ning looked up at him with a head of green leaves, Shang Xi laughed out loud.
Xiao Ning: "... childish."
The person who said these childish words turned around and picked unknown wild flowers on the ground.
Seeing this, Shang Xi turned around and ran.
Hearty laughter floats in the spring breeze.
The person catching up from behind unconsciously slowed down his pace.
"Xu Linghui, stop right there!"
Shang Xi ran faster when he heard her shout.
The two chased each other along the river bank for a long time. Xiao Ning finally caught up with Shang Xi. She held him down and tucked the wild flowers in her hand into his hair.
"don't want……"
Shang Xi smiled and struggled, but to no avail.
Soon his hair was filled with wildflowers.
Looking at Shang Xi's hair full of flowers, Xiao Ning pointed at Shang Xi with one hand, put his other hand on his waist, and laughed.
Shang Xi rushed over and pushed her down on the grass, scratching her face with a willow branch.
"Don't laugh!"
The willow branches scratched his face, making it itchy, and Xiao Ning laughed even louder.
“Stop, stop it, hahahaha… it’s so itchy hahahaha…”
Shang Xi also laughed: "No!"
"I, I really can't do it anymore, hahaha..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ning turned over, pressed Shang Xi under him, snatched the willow branch from his hand, and rubbed it on his face.
"Xu Linghui, you can't tell the difference between the big and small kings, right?"
“Hahahahahaha…”
Now it was Shang Xi's turn to laugh out loud.
Around noon, Xiao Ning took Shang Xi to the charity hall that she had funded.
Yuzhu was very efficient and the expanded classroom next to the charity hall has been put into use.
Listening to the chattering sounds of reading, Shang Xi raised his hand, opened the curtain, and looked towards the charity hall.
Xiao Ning didn't tell him where he was going.
But after listening to the childish voice of reading, Shang Xi immediately understood.
He asked through the car curtain, "Aning, this is the charity hall you planned to build, right?"
Today, it was just the two of them, without anyone else. The emperor drove the car himself and took her husband on an outing.
"Yes, Ling Hui is really smart."
A happy voice with a smile came in.
You can tell she is very happy.
The carriage stopped, Shang Xi lifted the curtain, looked at Xiao Ning standing below, and stretched out his hand to him.
Shang Xi: “…”
In fact, he can jump down directly now.
But his Aning reached out his hand.
Shang Xi took Xiao Ning's hand and prepared to get out of the car, but she played a trick on him and pulled him down with force.
Shang Xi exclaimed and was held firmly by her.
Xiao Ning burst into laughter, and Shang Xi punched her in anger.
"You want to die!"
Shang Xi didn't use much strength, but Xiao Ning still rubbed the place where he was hit and hissed, "You want to kill the king?"
Shang Xi: “…”
He glared at Xiao Ning speechlessly.
Could an invincible general be killed by just one punch from him?
The maid from the charity hall came out and saw Xiao Ning. She called out uncertainly, "Sir?"
Xiao Ning and Shang Xi turned to look.
The waitress just stood there in a daze.
What a beautiful man...
But she quickly regained her composure, stared at Xiao Ning for a few seconds, and walked over. "Are you... the young master's sister?"
