Chapter 4: Almost Being Tricked
The eunuch burst into tears, "Your Highness, I was wrong, I was really wrong!"
Ning Shengsheng: "It's not me you offended."
That’s all I have to say.
The eunuch understood.
Her Royal Highness the Princess is obviously trying to support Xue Jizi!
He wiped his nose, crawled over, and reached out to grab Xue Chen's legs to beg for mercy.
He just let out a loud howl.
Xue Chen took half a step back in disgust.
The eunuch who delivered the food was disappointed, and the words for mercy were stuck in his throat, neither going up nor down.
Hey?
The big villain still has some emotions before he grows up.
Ning Shengsheng turned her head away and smiled secretly, then straightened her expression and continued, "It must be because your attitude was insincere that Xue Zhizi refused to forgive you."
After hearing this, the eunuch cried even louder.
Two streams of clear snot meandered down the corners of his mouth.
Xue Chen saw it, frowned slightly, silently pulled out his left leg, and said only two words.
"No problem."
Rather than forgiving the eunuch, he was more curious about why Princess Ning'an stood up for him.
The servants in the palace looked down on him so much.
Mostly because of her.
Ning Shengsheng noticed the change in Xue Chen's expression and knew what was on his mind.
She changed her expression, waved her hand playfully, and gave orders to the kneeling eunuch.
"Go prepare a meal for Xue Yuzi again. If you let such a beauty go hungry in the future, I will not forgive you."
The eunuch kowtowed three times and ran to the imperial kitchen.
After hearing this, four big words emerged in Xue Chen's mind.
Lust blinds the mind.
Why would Princess Ning'an suddenly care about him? It turns out that she only cares about his face.
He hated his own face more than ever before.
Due to system constraints.
Ning Shengsheng can only maintain her original character and prevent others from discovering her transformation.
She cleared her throat, crossed her arms, and looked around the courtyard where Xue Chen lived. Seeing the weeds growing in the courtyard, her heart sank slightly. She pointed with her little finger, "Songgao, move the famous flowers from this princess's courtyard here."
"I will go right away."
Songmeng turned to leave, but then heard the princess speak behind him.
"Also, move the furniture from the warehouse over here. How can we let Xue Zhizi live in such a shabby yard? If word gets out, people will think we in Daning are so poor we can't even afford to eat!"
She deliberately raised her voice a few notches when she spoke, appearing a little arrogant and unreasonable.
"As you command, I'll go right away."
Songgao was afraid that his slowness would upset the princess, so he turned around and hurried to the Chaoxia Palace.
At this time, she and Xue Chen were the only ones left in the yard.
Xue Chen stood where he was.
He watched Ning Shengsheng walk into his room in silence, with an unknown smile on his lips.
Entering someone else's room without the owner's consent.
The most favored princess of Daning was indeed as arrogant and rude as the rumors said.
In the room.
Ning Shengsheng is fighting a battle of wits and courage with the system.
System: [Host, what you are doing is not in line with Princess Ning'an's character.]
She calmly asked back:
"Tell me, what is Princess Ning'an's personality?"
The system was silent for a while and then said:
[He is arrogant and domineering, treating human life like ants, and regards Xue Chen as something he can easily take.]
"That's it. I did all this just to get Xue Chen. How can you say I'm OOC? Besides, wasn't my performance just now domineering enough?"
The system crashed for a few moments.
It seems that there is some truth in what he said.
Seeing that the system is silent,
Ning Shengsheng's bright eyes flashed with cunning.
She was just testing the system's bottom line.
It seems that as long as she can smooth things over, the system won't be able to do anything to her.
hey-hey......
I couldn't help laughing out loud.
Xue Chen in the yard:?
Why is the princess suddenly laughing?
He was covered in goosebumps and took a few steps back silently.
Ning Shengsheng naturally didn't know what happened next.
She looked carefully at the interior of the room. The quilt on the bed was torn and old, and the stool was missing a leg.
Even the windows are drafty!
Xue Chen's life was too miserable.
I'm afraid the concubines in the cold palace have better conditions than this.
Not to mention that because of her pretty face, she was often called over and bullied by the original owner.
"Xue Chen."
She turned around and saw Xue Chen retreating to the corner of the yard.
Um?
Is she a ghost? Why is she hiding so far away?
"What's the matter, Princess?" the young man asked calmly.
"Oh, I asked you to..."
When she saw this scene, she was amazed and the words she wanted to say got stuck in her throat.
The young man stood quietly under the pear tree. He was wearing thin clothes and looked a little fragile. His pale lips were tightly pursed and his dark eyes showed stubbornness.
She is really a bit weak and can be bullied.
Xue Chen was displeased by the other party's blank gaze.
He turned sideways in disgust.
He stood there stiffly, not relaxing a little until the lingering gaze left.
Not long.
A group of eunuchs and palace maids came into the yard carrying potted plants and furniture.
The lonely yard suddenly became lively.
Ning Shengsheng took the lead in the middle.
"Put the peonies by the window. Yes, move them a little to the left and put a few more pots!"
"Put on a thick mattress and quilt."
"Such beautiful peonies should be placed more prominently."
"As expected of this princess, you have excellent aesthetic taste. After tidying up like this, the house looks so beautiful!"
The eunuchs and palace maids bent over to flatter him.
"Your Highness's aesthetic taste is naturally beyond reproach. Even the abode of a god is no better than this."
Ning Shengsheng waved her hand and said, "Good compliments! Everyone here will get a reward!"
"Thank you, Princess, for the reward!"
Everyone knelt down to express their gratitude.
Ning Shengsheng ran over happily, tilting her head, her sparkling eyes curved into crescents, "Hey, Xue Chen, are you satisfied with the new home I've decorated for you?"
Xue Chen looked past her bright smile and looked at the house, which was filled with expensive furniture and flowers piled together, with no aesthetic appeal at all.
“…”
The person who started it all was boasting smugly.
Behind him knelt a group of flatterers.
He had a new understanding of Princess Ning'an's status.
I'm afraid there's a cat standing in front of me.
As long as Princess Ning'an said it was a dog, the group of people would also follow suit and say it was a dog.
So does his real thoughts matter?
Besides.
The woman in front of him was moody and unpredictable, who knew how she would torture him tomorrow.
Xue Chen lowered his eyes and whispered, "Satisfied."
His expression was surprisingly gentle and submissive.
"As long as you're satisfied!" Ning Shengsheng didn't forget to improve her favorability. She patted her chest with a smile, "This princess likes you, so naturally I will do everything to your heart's content."
The eunuchs and palace maids looked at each other.
Could it be that Her Royal Highness the Princess really fell in love with this hostage?
Rather than just playing around for a few days?
Xue Chen raised his eyelids hesitantly. The woman in front of him smiled innocently, as if she really liked him.
No.
The wound on my back from being whipped was aching slightly.
He sneered in his heart.
I almost got cheated.
