Chapter 341 The Princess of the Dandy World Just Wants to Show Off 37
"I have reflected deeply on myself. In some areas, I have indeed not done enough. As for being obsessed with men... it is not unfair. There are indeed too many people in my yard. Since the adults have brought it up, I have decided to turn over a new leaf from today."
Xie Wu Yu widened his eyes slightly.
The next moment, Mingnan bowed and said, "I was young and ignorant, and my actions were absurd, making people laugh and bringing shame to my mother, the queen, and my father. Now that I have married a husband, I realize how wrong I was before. Tonight, I will dismiss all the men in the backyard to show my determination."
"Please also bear witness that if I do this again, I am willing to be punished."
Feng Jun: “???”
"Wait, is this too hasty?"
Mingnan said seriously, "Don't worry, father. Before you dismiss them, I will give them some money to ensure that they have enough food and clothing. This will also be a token of my gratitude for all these years."
Feng Jun hesitated and said: "But as a king, how can you only have one——"
"Father, there is no need to persuade me anymore. I have made up my mind!"
Mingnan looked solemn and serious. He picked up the wine cup and drank it all. He said to the emperor and Fengjun, "Please supervise me, my mother and father!"
Feng Jun: “…”
The emperor was silent for a long time. When he saw that the ministers were silent, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I'll do as you say. You are such an adult now. You really should calm down."
"My dear ministers, you have heard it. It is a great honor to admit one's mistakes and then improve. Since Queen Rong is willing to repent, give her a chance."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
After saying that, Mingnan sat down, glanced at the people opposite him, and smiled slightly.
The emperor has spoken, what else can the ministers say?
I could only agree.
But the feeling of being hated lingered for a long time.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Mingnan found an excuse to take Xie Wuyu away.
After leaving the palace, Xie Wuyu felt that it was a bit absurd, but what happened tonight was even more absurd. He couldn't help but ask, "Did you arrange those people?"
Mingnan stepped onto the carriage on a low stool, turned around and helped him up, then said helplessly, "What do you think?"
Xie Wu Yu realized what a stupid question he had asked, and said with a smile, "I just think it's such a coincidence."
He held Mingnan's hand and got into the carriage.
Biqing had already turned on the lights in the car, and the two of them sat opposite each other in the soft light.
Xie Wuyu poured Mingnan a cup of tea and said, "You drank too much tonight. Have some tea to sober you up."
The tea is a little cool, but it's too hot to drink in this hot weather.
Mingnan took it and drank half of the cup in big gulps, then he let out a long breath and hooked his finger in thanks to Wuyu.
Xie Wuyou didn't understand what was going on and leaned forward. Mingnan shook his head and said, "Come over here and sit down."
Xie Wuyou sat over obediently and was hugged by Mingnan. He buried his head in his shoulder and took a deep breath.
One puff is not enough, take another one.
Xie Wuyu laughed, "What are you doing?"
Mingnan said in a muffled voice: "I'm too tired. Let me absorb some Yang energy to replenish myself."
Xie Wuyu: "..."
"Are you a fox spirit and are you absorbing Yang energy?"
Mingnan raised his head, turned his chin, gently stroked his face, and said with a smile: "How do you know I'm not? What if I am the reincarnation of the fox spirit?"
"This young man is so handsome, he really wins my heart."
Seeing that she was craving for drama again, Xie Wuyu narrowed his eyes, raised his hands to hold her neck, and said softly, "But that's not how you absorb yang energy."
"Oh?" Mingnan raised his eyebrows.
"Let me teach you."
Before he finished speaking, Xie Wuyu pressed Mingnan down on the cushion and kissed him hard.
The carriage moved steadily along the wide street; the spring night breeze was still a little chilly.
The temperature inside the carriage gradually increased.
The dim light fell on the two people, casting two inseparable shadows on the wall of the car.
The subtle and ambiguous voices were drowned out by the clattering sound of the carriage. After an unknown amount of time, the two finally separated.
Not long after they separated, Mingnan hugged Xie Wuyu again.
Xie Wuyu smiled and joked, "Haven't you absorbed enough Yang energy yet?"
“I can’t inhale enough, not even in my lifetime.” Mingnan said with a smile.
Xie Wuyu also laughed.
One hand was around her waist, the other hand was caressing her back.
Neither of them spoke again for the rest of the journey.
It was only after they arrived at the palace and returned to their bedroom and closed the door that Mingnan answered his original question.
"I didn't ask those people to come, but they were indeed sent by someone to pick a fight with me tonight."
Mingnan sat in front of the dressing table. Xie Wuyu took over Biqing and Danzhu's work and personally helped Mingnan take off the phoenix crown and gold hairpins on his head.
As he did so, he asked, "Who do you think is behind this?"
"Who else could it be? I have no conflicts of interest with the ministers in the court, so they would not bother me."
"Not to mention the Crown Princess. She still expects me to stand on her side. Moreover, Feng Jun is her father. She would never do such a thing on Feng Jun's birthday."
Xie Wuyu nodded and said, "Then it can only be the Prince of Ning'an."
The last pearl hairpin was taken off, and Mingnan's waterfall-like black hair instantly fell into his hands.
He couldn't help but clench his fists twice, picked up the jade comb, and combed her hair little by little from the beginning to the end. He used moderate force, and the comb slowly pressed over the scalp, which was very comfortable.
Mingnan couldn't help but close his eyes and relaxed completely.
Xie Wu Yu was silent for a while and then asked, "But I can't understand why she would benefit from doing this? Why would she target you instead of the Crown Princess?"
"Because their battlefields are not in such small places. A few censors' complaints are not a big deal and will not affect the Crown Princess, but they can make me feel annoyed.
After all, the Yingchun Building that she had worked so hard to build was destroyed just like that, and in the end I got the benefit, so of course she felt resentful.
I had stolen her lover and her husband before, and she couldn't get over the old hatred and thought of this way to annoy me."
Mingnan smiled as he spoke, "She just didn't expect that she would end up helping me."
Xie Wuyu laughed and shook his head, "You are so brave."
But after laughing for a while, he couldn't help but correct her: "He is not her legal husband."
"Hmm?" Mingnan looked back.
Xie Wuyou held her head, lowered his head into the mirror, and looked into her eyes through the bronze mirror. His eyes were dim, and under the light of the candlelight, they seemed to be able to capture people's souls.
He whispered softly in Mingnan's ear: "I am not her legal husband. It is a fact that you chose me, so there is no if, and I have nothing to do with her."
Mingnan looked at his serious expression and couldn't help but hold his hand on his shoulder and said softly, "Yes, yes, you are my legal husband. You are mine in life and in death."
Xie Wuyu: "..."
He couldn't help but pat Mingnan on the head and scolded him, "Speak properly."
Mingnan started to laugh.
Xie Wu Yu stared at her for a moment, his heart warmed slightly, and he leaned over and kissed her.
