Chapter 423 Play
At the Crown Prince's Mansion, Princess Xi was striding towards the living room, wanting to meet the rumored Crown Prince.
However, when I was not far from the living room, I heard an abnormal noisy sound coming from the front.
"Is the living room in front?" Princess Xi was stunned, then looked at the maid beside her and asked puzzledly.
"To answer Princess Xi, yes." The maid was so scared by Princess Xi's question that she lowered her head even more.
After all, she heard in the morning that the maid who served Princess Xi was beaten because she didn't know Princess Xi's daily routine.
Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. The news that Princess Xi had a bad temper spread throughout the Prince's Mansion in just one night.
"You all go down." After hearing the maid's answer, Princess Xi listened to the sound coming from the direction of the living room. After rolling her eyes a few times, she asked the maid beside her to leave.
After all, the sound coming from the living room was extremely strange, so she wanted to see what was going on before going in.
When the maids heard Princess Xi say this, they walked away quickly, as if they were afraid that Princess Xi would go back on her word.
The only one left was Princess Xi's maid named Xiaoyu, who had followed her from Mo Country.
"This prince is warning you, when Princess Naxi comes over later, act normal and don't let the prince reveal your true identity."
A young man's voice was heard, and Princess Xi quietly approached following the voice. Finally, she quietly hid beside the living room door and stuck half of her head out to look inside.
She was far away, so when she looked over, she could only see a young man in crimson and white clothes with his back to her. He had a tall figure, his black hair was combed meticulously, and on his head was a hair crown that should be carved from the finest Hetian jade. He had a cold temperament.
Although Princess Xi did not see the prince's face, just by looking at his back, she could guess that the Prince of Dongyou was indeed a man of heavenly appearance.
Princess Xi's appetite was whetted. She was eager to know what Shangguan Nanxing looked like. She felt like she was being anxiously awaited.
"I understand, Your Highness." Another female voice was heard, with a faint sobbing sound, which made Princess Xi even more curious.
Out of such strong curiosity, she almost stretched half of her body into the living room.
Su Yue, who was standing not far away, was originally standing opposite Shangguan Nanxing. Now, she saw a girl in orange-red clothes at the door, looking desperately in their direction. Su Yue suppressed her smile and signaled Shangguan Nanxing to continue with her eyes.
"Why are you crying? When Princess Xi comes and sees you like this, how can she believe that we are a loving couple? I heard that Princess Xi is very beautiful and she came here to be the prince's concubine. You'd better not do anything bad!
If you can't pretend to be good, back off now. If it's something bad, don't blame me for beating you again. ”
Shangguan Nanxing turned his back to Princess Xi and sneered again. When he mentioned the name of Princess Xi, there seemed to be a hint of vulgarity in his words.
Princess Xi was stunned by Shangguan Nanxing's words. Then, because she stretched her body too far into the room, she was not careful and fell to the ground with a thump.
Xiaoyu, who was standing by, hurried forward and tried to help Princess Xi up.
"Princess Xi, huh? I don't know when Princess Xi came. Why didn't this maid tell her? Did she hear anything?"
Just as Princess Xi was about to stand up, a hand with distinct joints reached out.
Princess Xi raised her head and met the eyes of the young man in front of her. His angular face now had a gentle smile. This gentleness, which seemed unintentional, was mixed with the natural aura of a superior and did not conflict at all.
Princess Xi looked at herself in Shangguan Nanxing's eyes and was distracted for a moment.
Her right hand unconsciously rose up, about to put it into Shangguan Nanxing's hand.
Seeing Princess Xi's infatuated look, Shangguan Nanxing concealed the disgust in his eyes and smiled faintly.
"Your Highness, I'm not feeling well. I'll go down first." Su Yue said with red eyes just as Princess Xi was about to put her hand into Shangguan Nanxing's.
Princess Xi then came to her senses and quickly withdrew her hand. Xiaoyu saw this and hurried forward to support her, and Princess Xi stood up.
Just as she stood up, Princess Xi clearly saw a flash of disappointment in the eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"Crown Princess is not feeling well. Go back and have a good rest. I will come to see you after I finish talking to Princess Xi."
Shangguan Nanxing turned around and looked at Su Yue very gently. In Princess Xi's eyes, the contrast between this tone and what she heard at the door before was too great.
And just now, Princess Xi clearly saw the hidden anger in the prince's eyes.
Could it be that the prince was angry that the princess suddenly spoke up, causing him to come to his senses and not let the prince hold his hand?
When Su Yue heard Shangguan Nanxing say this, she just lowered her head obediently and walked out.
However, when he walked to the side of Princess Xi, the handkerchief in his hand suddenly fell. Seeing this, Su Yue hurriedly squatted down and stretched out her hand to pick it up. At this moment, Su Yue's arms were covered with red and purple scars, which showed that he had been beaten.
When Princess Xi saw the scars on Su Yue's arm, her pupils shrank in shock. The Crown Princess has such a noble status, who would dare to hit her?
Su Yue seemed to have noticed that his scars were exposed, and hurriedly covered them with his sleeves. After looking at Princess Xi, he just nodded with a faint smile and left quickly.
Just when they looked at each other, Princess Xi clearly saw the Crown Princess's red and aggrieved eyes.
