Chapter 92: Your Highness, do you want to go see the Prince Consort?
After returning home, Furong took the letter and asked, "When does Your Highness plan to go to the palace?"
"No rush. I'll wait until the Crown Prince discovers those private soldiers before I go to the palace. This will save His Majesty from having to summon me back and forth."
It would be interesting to punish two crimes at the same time with both witnesses and evidence!
Even if Your Majesty wanted to protect him, he would not have the heart to do so. The eldest prince and the sixth prince are both involved in it. I am sure Your Majesty would be particularly pleased to see the brothers fighting.
After all, we have inherited his strengths.
"What has the Prince Consort been doing lately?"
Shang Xi suddenly asked.
Furong: “…”
Why is the topic so wide-ranging?
But she still replied honestly: "I went back to the Marquis' Mansion two days ago, and I have been staying in my own yard these two days."
Shang Xi said "Oh", paused for a moment, and then asked, "Why haven't I heard you mention night recently..."
Furong smiled, unable to help but give her a thumbs up for her earlier wit.
"Oh, the Prince Consort hasn't had any affairs with anyone recently, so I didn't mention it."
Shang Xi said "Oh" again.
Furong asked, "Your Highness, do you want to go see your husband?"
Shang Xi felt awkward again, "Why are we looking at him? He hasn't even come to pay his respects to me."
Furong: “…”
Please, my master, it is you who likes me now, not me who likes you.
If you don't take the initiative, maybe even ten days or half a month later, no one will come to see you.
Furong didn't know what to say.
Shang Xi hesitated for a long time before finally saying to Furong, "I remember receiving a short sword that could cut through iron like mud a few years ago. Go to my private vault and get that short sword."
"When Xiao Yanqing fell off the cliff, his dagger was broken. This short sword is just the right gift for him as a thank you."
Furong responded and went to the private vault to get the dagger that Shang Xi mentioned.
Shang Xi took the dagger in his hand, looked at it, pulled it out and looked at it again, and said in a lighter voice: "Let's go to the prince consort."
When we arrived at Fuqiu Garden and passed the moon-shaped archway, we could see Xiao Ning sitting on the ground under the hibiscus tree in the courtyard from afar.
The withered yellow leaves were blown down by the wind from time to time and fell on her.
The ground in front of her was littered with a mess of wood.
Holding a wood pusher in his hand, he was planing wood.
Furong laughed when she saw it, "The prince consort is also good at carpentry."
He received Shang Xi's pitiful look, "He knows a lot, this is nothing."
Furong: “…”
Hearing the footsteps approaching, Xiao Ning looked up and met Shang Xi's eyes.
Her Royal Highness the Princess is as cool and beautiful as ever, like the white snow on the mountains.
Xiao Ning smiled and greeted him: "Your Highness!"
Her bright smile infected Shang Xi, and he unconsciously raised the corners of his lips, "What are you doing?"
Xiao Ning stood up, shook off the sawdust on his body, and winked at Shang Xi: "Secret!"
Shang Xi: “…”
Looking at the messy and strange wood on the ground, Shang Xi thought that she was saying this because she failed in what she wanted to do, so he didn't expose her.
He looked at Xiao Ning, suddenly stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, raised his hand, and moved closer to Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning: “…”
She subconsciously took a step back.
"Don't move, there are leaves on your head."
Shang Xi said this while pressing her shoulders with his other hand and picking the fallen leaves off her head.
Xiao Ning swallowed.
It smells so good...
The faint cool fragrance is intoxicating.
But Xiao Ning didn't dare to say this, as it was too offensive. If he said it, the delicate princess would definitely be angry.
Shang Xi picked up the fallen leaves and shook them in front of Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning smiled and said, "Thank you, Princess!"
Shang Xi also smiled: "You're welcome."
Furong: “…”
Hiss, my teeth seem a little sour.
A discerning maid brought a cup of tea, and Xiao Ning hurriedly asked Shang Xi to sit down.
The two sat at the stone table under the tree. Xiao Ning took the teacup offered by the maid and handed it to Shang Xi.
Shang Xi took it and took a sip, but his eyes raised from the cup and looked at Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning took another cup of tea and placed it on the table.
"Princess, you came to see me today, is there something wrong?"
Shang Xi looked up at Furong. Furong understood and immediately took the prepared long gift box from the accompanying maid and placed it on the stone table.
Xiao Ning looked at her in surprise, "This is..."
Furong smiled and explained, "This is a gift from His Highness. Why don't you open it and take a look?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ning picked up the gift box and opened it. Inside was a very gorgeous dagger.
Xiao Ning: “…”
How should she tell Her Royal Highness the Princess that the weapons she carries should not be too flashy?
This is too pretentious.
They say that those who show off will be struck by lightning. I hope she won’t be struck to death by using this.
Seeing that Xiao Ning didn't show any joy immediately, Shang Xi held the hand hanging by his side and said in a faint voice: "Don't you like it?"
Xiao Ning quickly shook his head and smiled, "I like it. After all, this is the first time Her Royal Highness the Princess has given me a gift. I was so happy that I forgot to react!"
Forget it, Her Royal Highness the Princess has good intentions after all.
Just treat it as a decoration and put it in the house.
Shang Xi loosened his clenched fist and smiled: "It is said that this dagger can cut through iron like mud. Would you like to try it?"
Xiao Ning was surprised when he heard this. He thought it was just a decoration, but he didn't expect it to be a real weapon.
She picked up the dagger, drew it out, and before a dead leaf fell on the table, she swung the sword, splitting the leaf in two.
Furong covered her mouth in surprise, what a fast speed!
Shang Xi's lips curled up slightly, and she looked at Xiao Ning, her lips raised, her face full of vigor and vitality.
My heart seemed to skip a beat.
But his eyes were focused on the young man in front of him at the moment, and he didn't notice that his heart was already beating wildly.
Only Furong, who had an omniscient perspective, watched the show silently.
She seemed to understand why her master fell in love with the prince consort...
Who wouldn't like such a high-spirited young man, especially when he risked his life to save you from danger and escorted you all the way back to Beijing.
After traveling thousands of miles, the two men were alone for a month.
There is nothing wrong with developing feelings.
Xiao Ning smiled and thanked Shang Xi: "It is indeed very sharp. Thank you for giving it to me, Princess!"
Shang Xi said, "I fell off the cliff earlier and broke my dagger. This is my compensation."
Xiao Ning laughed and said, "My dagger was issued by the camp. It's worthless. You're losing out by exchanging it with me!"
Shang Xi smiled at her and shook his head, saying, "You almost lost your life to save me, and your injuries haven't fully healed yet. If you want to say who lost, you actually lost more."
Xiao Ning said, "I'm your husband. Isn't it my duty to save you? What's wrong with that? What good man can watch his wife die and stand by and do nothing?"
My face gets hot unconsciously.
Shang Xi scolded: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Xiao Ning retorted, "Every word I say comes from the heart. How can it be called nonsense?"
Shang Xi: “…”
"By the way, Princess, have you made any progress on the assassination?"
Xiao Ning sheathed the dagger and looked up at Shang Xi.
Shang Xi didn't elaborate, considering there were so many people here: "A little bit."
Xiao Ning nodded and suddenly moved closer to Shang Xi: "Is it him?"
