Chapter 348 The Princess of the Dandy World Just Wants to Show Off 44

Xie Wuyu sat up straight and said seriously, "This is my first time, so it's a little rough. Don't mind."

"Why would I dislike it?" Mingnan smiled, "No matter what it is, as long as it's done by you, I like it."

Xie Wuyu then took out a rosewood plaque from his sleeve.

The wooden plaque is about half the size of a fist and is carved into the shape of a round pufferfish. It looks lifelike at first glance. The pufferfish is wearing a thin rope woven with gold thread and has golden tassels at the bottom. It is clearly a pendant.

Mingnan was stunned for a moment, then he took it with surprise and held it in his palm to admire it.

If you look closely, the knife work is indeed not up to par, some places are deep and some places are shallow, but overall it is still very good.

Especially this little pufferfish, which does not seek to resemble the original in appearance but only in spirit, so it looks particularly cute.

Mingnan couldn't let go and stroked it, "How did you come up with the idea of ​​doing this? I like it so much!"

Xie Wu Yu watched her reaction from the side and was very satisfied to see that she really liked it.

"This is a fan pendant. I made a pair." Xie Wuyou said as he took out his own wooden sign from his sleeve. The Pufferfish one was the same as Mingnan's, except that the color of the rope and tassels was changed to blue.

Mingnan put the two little puffer fishes together, and with a "click" sound, the two little puffer fishes "kissed" each other.

Xie Wuyu: "..."

He took back his wooden sign with a look of confusion, "I'll go tie it to your fan for you."

"good."

Mingnan couldn't wait to get up and pull him back to the bedroom.

Mingnan's eyes never left the wooden sign when Xie Wuyu was changing the pendant. After it was changed, Mingnan immediately took it and slapped it twice.

Thinking of something, she paused slightly, pulled Xie Wuyou's hand over and took a look. Sure enough, she saw deep and shallow marks on his hand.

They had been together less and less these days, and had not been very close, so Mingnan had never noticed.

The smile on her lips faded a little, she looked up at Xie Wuyu and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

Xie Wuyu saw the pain in her eyes, shook his head, touched her cheek and said, "It's inevitable to get hurt when learning sculpture, but you'll get used to it. These wounds are from the beginning. As you become more skilled, you won't get any new ones, and they don't hurt anymore."

Mingnan said nothing. He held his hand and touched the wounds one by one. They had indeed healed, but it still hurt when they were just injured.

Her heart moved, she moved closer, lowered her head, and gently kissed his palm.

Xie Wuyu's breathing paused, as if a feather had scratched the tip of his heart, making it itchy and numb for a moment.

Mingnan raised his head, smiled, and said sincerely: "Thank you, this is the best gift I have ever received."

The peach scent in the room became more and more distinct. Mingnan hooked Xie Wuyu's belt, pulled him in front of him, put his arms around his neck, and kissed him actively.

When love is deep, it is hard to let go.

The two were so engrossed that they didn't hear the footsteps at all.

As soon as Danzhu came in and opened his mouth, he said the word "Wang", but when he looked up, he saw two people being intimate. His face immediately blushed and he wanted to quietly leave.

But Mingnan still heard that statement. She let go of Xie Wuyu, her eyes still shining with tears, so beautiful that people dared not look directly at her.

She cleared her throat and asked, "What is it?"

Danzhu stopped and said with his head down: "It's lunch time, the banquet is about to start in the flower hall, Zhou Xingzhi asked me to ask the king if he wants to show up."

Xie Wuyu helped Mingnan straighten his shirt and whispered, "Go ahead."

Mingnan nodded. "After all, this is my nominal maternal home. If I don't even show up, I don't know what rumors will spread. I don't care about other people's opinions, but if those censors keep an eye on me, I'll be so annoyed that I'll die."

"It's okay. If you don't want to deal with it, we can just have a drink and leave," said Xie Wuyou.

The two of them tidied their clothes and took Biqing and Danzhu to the flower hall.

The flower hall is next to the water, with a beautiful view, a riot of colour and full of vitality.

However, the people in the hall did not seem to be in a mood to appreciate it.

Old Mrs. Xu sat next to the main seat, with two empty seats next to her. The rest of the people sat around her, making those two seats particularly eye-catching.

Maids shuttled back and forth, putting down plates of exquisite delicacies.

Old Mrs. Xu looked at him, her brows furrowed more and more.

Her daughter, Mingnan's aunt, couldn't help but curl her lips and whispered sarcastically: "Our King Rong is a descendant of the royal family, very noble, he disdains to associate with small fish and shrimp like us. Mother, I said that your trick is useless. Look, he doesn't even want to show up on his birthday."

"What did Auntie say? Speak louder."

Mingnan held Xie Wuyu's hand and walked slowly along the flower path. The sunlight shone on them, making their bright red clothes dazzling.

Like two balls of fire floating from the sky.

Everyone in the hall stood up.

Aunt Xu, who had just been making small talk, suddenly changed her expression and said awkwardly, "I pay my respects to the king and his wife."

Mingnan glanced at her, too lazy to argue with her, and walked to the main seat with a smile and sat down. Xie Wuyu sat down next to her.

"Okay, it's a great day, everyone, please don't be restrained and take a seat."

"Thank you, Lord."

No one picked up their chopsticks and just looked at Mingnan. They only picked up their chopsticks and started eating after Mingnan took the first bite.

Xie Wu Yu cast such a huge shadow on Old Lady Xu that she didn't say much during the meal.

Mingnan's uncle and aunt tried to talk to her several times, but she inadvertently diverted the conversation every time.

After doing this many times, they knew Mingnan's attitude and no longer tried to get close to him.

Mingnan and Xie Wuyu had each eaten half a bowl of noodles before they came. Now they picked out their favorite dishes and moved their chopsticks a few times. After drinking two glasses of wine, they got up and left.

The Xu family did not stop him. Since they could not curry favor with him anyway, Mingnan would feel more at ease if he left them.

…

Mingnan and Xie Wuyu had just left the flower hall when Zhou Xingzhi hurried over with a doorman and happened to meet them.

"I have met the king and his wife."

Zhou Xingzhi hurriedly led people to pay their respects.

Mingnan glanced at the doorman and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Xingzhi didn't answer and looked at the doorman.

The doorman immediately said, "To reply to the king, just now Lu... Du Yao, who is beside Master Lu, came and said that Master Lu wants to see the king."

Mingnan frowned, "Lu Feiyu is here too?"

"I didn't see it, but Du Yao came here in a carriage, so he might be in the carriage."

Mingnan immediately looked at Xie Wuyu.

Xie Wuyu seemed to be thinking, "Didn't he say what it was about?"

The doorman said bitterly, "I asked, and Du Yao said it was a serious matter and he would only tell the king."

Mingnan hesitated for a moment and said, "Let him go back. If he really wants to say he doesn't want to see me, I can say so. But if he insists on seeing me, it means he is not sincere. If you use this as a pretext, I—"

"Go ahead. I'll go with you." Xie Wuyu interrupted her and said, "Hasn't he been very close to that girl recently? Maybe there really is something going on."

Mingnan looked at him deeply, with complicated eyes.

Xie Wuyu couldn't help but touch his face, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Mingnan nodded, "A bit mature."

Xie Wu Yu took a moment to understand what she meant. He held her hand helplessly and squeezed it. "Because you have given me enough respect and dignity, and let me know that my position is unshakable, so I have nothing to fear, and I am willing to accompany you to face everything."
