Chapter 346 The Princess Wants to Show Off 42
As for what action to take, it goes without saying.
The two looked at each other and knew what was going on.
Xie Wuyu exclaimed, "She is so bold."
"Since we've come this far, it's better to give it a try rather than lose everything." Ming Nan sighed, "In a sense, Ming Jin is pretty amazing."
Xie Wuyu nodded, frowned slightly, and felt mixed emotions. "If she can put these thoughts into the right place, then there is nothing to worry about."
Then he asked, "So what are you going to do? Wait and see what happens, or give the Crown Princess a warning?"
"No conflict."
Mingnan said: "My spies have infiltrated the Crown Princess and will remind her in due time. In addition, there is another key person who can be used by us."
"Oh? Who?"
Xie Wuyu was curious.
Mingnan smiled and uttered two words softly.
…
That night, at Prince Ning’s Mansion.
Cui Qing came out of the bath and sat in front of the dressing table, letting the servant wipe his hair. He closed his eyes and asked softly, "Has the king not returned yet?"
The servant looked at his face and whispered, "Yes, he said he had some important business to attend to, so he will stay in the study tonight."
Cui Qing smiled in an ambiguous way, slowly opened his eyes, looked at his thin face in the mirror, raised his hand and stroked it, "Do you think I look much more haggard and ugly?"
"How could that be? The master is dignified and noble, how could he not look good?"
"Being dignified alone cannot win a woman's heart."
Cui Qing sighed deeply, lowered his eyes and looked at his hands, saying, "Your Highness hasn't come to my room for half a month."
Not everyone lives together like Mingnan and Xie Wuyu.
In some families, the wife and the husband sleep in separate rooms. The wife can go to whichever place she wants to go. Occasionally, she will let someone stay overnight in her yard, but she will not really let anyone stay forever.
Ning Wang Mansion was no exception. Cui Qing had a separate courtyard in the backyard, where he usually lived.
It was also because of this that he was completely unaware of Mingjin's secret escape from the house to hang out with Lu Feiyu.
The servant didn't know either, and advised him, "Master, you should be more open-minded. Although the prince hasn't come to your place for half a month, he hasn't been to other people's places either. I have also secretly inquired and found that there is no one hiding in the study. The prince has been sleeping alone during this period. Besides, the prince is pregnant now, and it is better for her to sleep alone to take care of the fetus."
When the pregnancy was mentioned, Cui Qing's expression became slightly better.
"Yeah, at least we still have a child."
When he had almost finished drying his hair, he waved his hand to let the servant go down and prepared to go to bed.
As a result, just as he stood up, the window suddenly opened.
The wind blew freely, causing the candles in the corner to flicker.
Cui Qing frowned and walked over to close the window, but a black shadow suddenly flew in.
He was startled and turned his head away. With a "pop", something suddenly appeared on the stool.
He looked out the window a few times in panic, but saw nothing. He quickly closed the window and then picked up the thing on the stool. It turned out to be a letter.
"Who would send me a letter like this?" Cui Qing murmured suspiciously, but a voice in his heart urged him to open it and take a look.
His eyelids twitched suddenly, and a certain premonition became stronger and stronger.
Finally, he couldn't resist the temptation and opened it.
The moment he took the letter and unfolded it, he looked at the words on it and his face turned pale, with all the blood drained away.
"This is too much, this is too much!"
He clenched his fists, turned around and was about to go find Mingjin to ask for an explanation, but when he reached the door he suddenly calmed down.
There is no point in confronting her now, and you might even get silenced.
He hesitated for a moment, then picked up the letter and read it twice.
Finally, he made up his mind, burned the letter paper, and called the servant he brought from his mother's home, "Go and grind the ink. I want to write a letter to my mother and father to ask how they are."
The servant was confused: "Ah? Why did Mr. Wang think of writing a letter in the middle of the night?"
Cui Qing glanced at him and said, "It's summer now, the weather is hot, and my father is not feeling well. I remembered him and naturally wanted to write to him to ask about him."
The boy stopped asking questions and went to grind ink and spread paper.
After writing the letter, Cui Qing put it in an envelope and told him to deliver it to his mother personally the next day and not to ask anyone else to do it for him.
The servant didn't understand, but he was loyal and agreed immediately.
Cui Qing watched him leave, returned to the bed and sat down, slowly closing his eyes.
I hope everything is fake...
…
The eighth day of May is the birthday of Prince Rong. It should have been celebrated in a grand manner, but it was only two days after the Dragon Boat Festival, so it would be a bit extravagant to hold a grand celebration.
Mingnan submitted a memorial in advance requesting that everything be kept simple and that there be no banquets for guests.
The emperor was very pleased. He praised her in the court and gave her many gifts.
Upon seeing this, other officials sent people to deliver gifts.
Mingnan handed over everything to Zhou Xingzhi, and told them to set up two tables in the flower hall at noon to entertain the Xu family.
She slept until dawn. Just as she opened her eyes, the bed curtains were opened from the outside and a faint peach fragrance wafted in.
Mingnan turned over and lay on his side, looking at the person approaching.
Xie Wuyu leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, then asked with a smile, "Can't you pay it back?"
The little puffer fish was a little too gentle today, and Mingnan felt a little uncomfortable.
She looked closer and discovered more details.
Xie Wuyou wore a narrow-sleeved red robe today, which was embroidered with cloud patterns and golden lotuses in gold thread. It was glittering and made him look extremely good and noble.
He tied up his long hair, wore a golden crown, and combed all the loose hair in front of his forehead, revealing his beautiful eyebrows and eyes. At this moment, he had a faint smile on his face, and he looked even more energetic, which was a pleasant sight.
He also wore a sachet and a jade pendant on his waist. The jade pendant had a golden tassel on it, which swayed gently with his movements.
Mingnan raised an eyebrow, reached out to pick up the tassel, and played with it on his fingertips, "Xie Lang, why are you dressed so nicely today?"
Xie Wu Yu pulled Liu Su back, reached into the quilt with both hands, and pulled her out by her armpits.
Mingnan: “???”
Who did you learn this cat-catching technique from?
After taking her out, Xie Wu Yu put her on the edge of the bed, made her sit up, then took out the clothes he had prepared long ago and put them on her one by one.
Mingnan did not resist and let him do what he wanted. He stretched his arms and legs cooperatively.
After he was dressed, Mingnan realized that his clothes were also red, and the pattern on them was exactly the same as the one on Xie Wuyu.
Xie Wuyu smiled and said, "The birthday star should wear something bright."
"Come on, put on your shoes, it's time to wash up."
Mingnan said, "I don't want to wear it, can't the birthday star go barefoot?"
Xie Wuyu glanced at her and said, "It's okay if you go out barefoot without worrying about getting hurt."
Mingnan thought about it for a while, and Xie Wuyu had no choice but to squat down first, pick up the clean socks and put them on her, then hold her ankles and help her put on shoes.
"Who told you that you are the birthday star? I will serve you today, okay?"
Xie Wu Yu looked up at her.
Ming Nan smiled and pinched his face, "How can the birthday star walk by himself?"
"That's right." Xie Wuyu laughed and turned his back to her, "Come up."
