Chapter 792: Only then can you be as mature and reliable as him
When An Ningxin heard that it could be cured, she said repeatedly: "It's good that it can be cured. I, I'm not afraid of pain."
The patterns on her back represent her past humiliation. She even wants to peel off the skin on her back! Now Xingxing says it can be removed, but it will only be painful. She is not afraid at all!
An Ningxin put on her clothes and looked at the pattern that Xingxing had copied. She was a little hesitant: "...It seems to be only half a copy."
The painting was neatly cut in the middle and was indeed only half a piece.
Xing Xing handed the copied painting to An Ning Xin, wanting her to keep it, but An Ning Xin waved her hands repeatedly, trying to avoid it: "...Princess, you should keep it. When I see it, it reminds me of the past... and makes me feel sad for no reason."
Xing Xing thought about it and agreed: "Okay, then I'll keep it for now... I'll prepare some potion for you when I get back. I think it will be ready tomorrow. Then I'll help you remove the pattern on your back."
An Ningxin thanked him repeatedly.
When Xingxing left, An Ningxin accompanied her to the gate and watched her quietly as she left with the half of the treasure map mixed with her humiliating memories.
Since there was only half of the treasure map, Xing Xing didn't take it seriously. After putting the treasure map in the study, she forgot about it.
Right now, the Yu family is busy with the marriage of Yu Yonggui and Qing Shuang.
Yu Yonggui was the newly promoted Earl of Zhengnan, and he was very popular in the capital. Many families, seeing that Earl of Zhengnan was born in the Yu family and even won the title at such a young age, were eager to become his in-laws. However, within a few days, the Yu family had already gone through the three letters and six ceremonies for Earl of Zhengnan!
Those families were shocked and started to ask about the girl's background.
When they heard that the girl came from a grassroots background and her family background was unknown, everyone's faces were filled with excitement.
Is there something wrong with this Uncle Zhengnan's brain?
Why did they abandon their precious daughter and marry a commoner who had no background and appeared out of nowhere? !
Many people couldn't help but say sour words.
What are you talking about? After all, the Yu family is of grassroots origin. They have not forgotten their roots. Even after they became rich, they still want to marry ordinary people as their daughters-in-law.
Others laughed at them, saying, "You wanted to climb up the ladder but failed, so you start to be jealous of others?" The Yu family is now flourishing and prosperous, they can marry whoever they want, why do you have the right to point fingers?
What are those people who keep saying sour things yelling about? Are they feeling sorry for Princess Qing'an? She is a princess, but her sister-in-law is an ordinary person with an unknown background. Isn't the Yu family afraid that Prince Ying's Mansion will feel embarrassed?
The Ying Palace quickly slapped the above remarks in the face with its own actions - they spread the news that the future wife of the Marquis of Zhengnan would be born in their Ying Palace.
Now those jealous people are completely jealous.
Some people even began to say that the girl that Zheng Nanbo was going to marry was not an ordinary citizen, but the flesh and blood of Prince Ying who was stranded outside, so she was forced to marry out of Prince Ying's mansion.
But once these words were spoken, as they involved fabricating stories about royal nobles, the people of Shuntian Prefecture showed no mercy and arrested several people as examples, which finally put an end to the rampant rumor mill.
Inside Zhaoyang Palace.
Queen Nie, who had never advocated extravagance, now filled the palace with a dazzling array of rare treasures. The light emitted by the treasures was so dazzling that people were dizzy.
The palace maids shuttled among these rare treasures, covering the rare treasures that Empress Nie shook her head in disapproval with red silk cloth.
When Emperor Jiazheng came in, he was almost blinded by the light.
"Your Majesty, what are these..." Emperor Jiazheng took a breath as he looked at the treasures filling the palace.
When Empress Nie saw Emperor Jiazheng coming over, she smiled at him and said, "Your Majesty, you have come at the right time. I am overwhelmed by the choices. Please help me choose."
Emperor Jiazheng walked through the gaps between these rare treasures, and the more he looked, the more he was amazed: "...I know that the queen has always been rich, but this is the first time I know that the queen is so wealthy."
Empress Nie smiled and said, "If I am penniless as your empress, then wouldn't you be a failure as an emperor?"
Only Empress Nie and Emperor Jiazheng, who had been married for decades, would dare to say this.
Emperor Jiazheng laughed and said, "Your Majesty is right... But Your Majesty hasn't told me what you want to do yet. How can I help you choose?"
Empress Nie smiled again: "... Ah Yan, I picked them for Ah Yan. He will open a mansion soon, and there must be some things to keep him in. I think I owe Ah Yan a lot, so why not pick more for him to fill his treasury."
When Empress Nie mentioned the banquet in times of crisis, her smile was gentle.
Emperor Jiazheng's mind moved, and he began to challenge Empress Nie seriously.
After this supreme couple spent almost half an afternoon selecting, they picked out more than a dozen rare treasures. Finally, Empress Nie nodded with dissatisfaction and had them packed up and sent to Prince Cong on a chosen day when he officially opened the palace.
If any one of these dozens of rare treasures were given away, others would have fought hard for it. However, Empress Nie wanted to give away more than a dozen of them at once, and she seemed a little dissatisfied.
Queen Nie sighed, "We owe Ah Yan a lot. These things are just external possessions."
Empress Nie looked at Emperor Jiazheng and said, "By the way, Your Majesty, there have been rumors recently that you are planning to let A Yan marry Princess You Luo of Nan Zheng..."
Emperor Jiazheng's expression was shocked. "Of course it's fake. I have already promised the Queen, Ah Yan, and even Ah Yu marriages, and let them choose the one they like. I still remember it."
Queen Nie tested this and got a satisfactory result. She curled her lips and said, "Your Majesty's words are enough. I believe in Your Majesty."
Emperor Jiazheng's eyes were full of tenderness: "Speaking of which, the matter between Ah Yan and Xing Xing should be put on the agenda, right?"
Empress Nie thought of Xing Xing, and her smile grew even brighter. She smiled at Emperor Jia Zheng very gently, "I will obey your majesty."
Emperor Jiazheng was extremely satisfied in his heart, and had no idea that Empress Nie was already happy to see this happen and would naturally listen to him.
…
Wei Shiyu was about to sneak out of the palace to play, but the fifth prince Wei Shiqi called him, "Third brother."
Wei Shiyu stopped and turned around to see that it was Lao Wu. He laughed and said, "Fifth brother...what's wrong with you?"
Wei Shiqi's eyes were somewhat deep. He walked closer and suddenly asked, "Third brother, aren't you in a hurry?"
"Ah?" Wei Shiyu was a little confused, "What's the hurry?"
"Princess Nan Zheng's matter." Wei Shiqi looked straight at Wei Shiyu, "Right now, the fourth brother is already engaged, and the Crown Prince has a deep affection for the Crown Princess and only wants one person. Among the princes of the right age, there are only the second brother, the third brother, you, and me."
Wei Shiyu didn't care at all: "Oh, you're talking about that. I'm fine. What's the rush? I don't like Princess Nan Zheng. Second brother has someone in his heart..." Wei Shiyu glanced at Wei Shiqi, "Fifth brother, you should worry about yourself."
Wei Shiqi looked at Wei Shiyu deeply for a while, as if he was weighing whether what he said was true.
After a while, Wei Shiqi said, "...If that's the case, I seem to be meddling too much. However, none of us have the intention to marry Princess Nan Zheng, so maybe someone else will take advantage of her..."
Wei Shiyu didn't understand what Wei Shiqi said and looked at him in confusion.
Wei Shiqi smiled strangely and said calmly: "At this time, maybe someone has already gone to please Princess Nan Zheng."
Wei Shiyu still didn't understand and looked at Wei Shiqi with confusion.
After Wei Shiqi said these words, he smiled and left.
Wei Shiyu looked at Wei Shiqi's leaving figure, shook his head, and thought to himself, his fifth brother is not smart, but he is also very cunning.
He must have come here on purpose to say something half-hearted in order to entice him into fighting with others.
childish!
It's really too childish!
When will his immature brothers become as mature and reliable as him!
Wei Shiyu sighed, then sneaked out of the palace maturely and steadily.
When the Nanzheng envoys entered the palace earlier, the Honglu Temple invited many folk craftsmen to perform their skills. The opera troupe was from the Meimu Opera Troupe, and the performance was excellent.
Wei Shiyu now wants to watch the Meimu Opera Troupe's performance again.
He sneaked into the opera house.
Who would have thought that after the Meimu Opera Troupe went to the palace to perform, their reputation would rise to a new level, and tickets would become even harder to buy.
The scalper that Wei Shiyu had asked for help before was surprisingly hard to buy.
Wei Shiyu scratched his hair in frustration. Just as he was thinking about going to the troupe owner Mo Wenjin to show his face, he heard a female voice with a strange accent, raising her voice: "No tickets?! I came all the way to see your show, and you say there are no tickets?!"
Wei Shiyu turned around and saw Princess Youluo of Nanzheng, who was wearing their summer clothes and shouting at the theater ticket seller in an agitated tone.
Wei Shiyu couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
Why does this Nanman princess look so out of place wearing the clothes of Daxia women?
Weird.
Perhaps it was because Wei Shiyu's gaze was too direct, Princess Youluo actually looked straight at Wei Shiyu.
Seeing that it was Wei Shiyu, Princess Youluo's face showed a hint of joy and she strode towards him.
Wei Shiyu: “?”
Princess Youluo came over and said loudly, "This is your Great Xia's Third Prince. Can't he come in even if he's here?"
Amid the noise all around, Wei Shiyu was so shocked that he forgot to show any expression!
No, sister, are all you Nanzheng people so crazy? !
Before the crowd became restless and things got out of control, Wei Shiyu no longer cared to watch the show and turned around and ran away.
You Luo hesitated for a moment, then ran out behind Wei Shiyu.
No one noticed that in a remote corner, someone quietly asked his companions: "...The Nanman princess ran away with the Third Prince, what about us?"
His partner was obviously also very hesitant: "... Let's go ask the Fourth Prince first if this old routine of the hero saving the beauty is still applicable."
The two looked at each other and disappeared into this remote corner.
…
You Luo chased Wei Shiyu for half a street before finally catching up with him.
Even though Youluo had good stamina, she was still running breathlessly. She looked at Wei Shiyu with a murderous look in her eyes: "No, why are you running!"
Wei Shiyu laughed out loud and retorted without hesitation: "Then I have to ask you why you exposed my identity in front of so many people!"
You Luo was stunned for a moment, still a little puzzled: "Aren't you the Third Prince of Da Xia? You appeared there, weren't you there to watch a play? As the Third Prince of Da Xia, can't you take me in to watch a play?"
Wei Shiyu gave up explaining to Youluo.
I simply didn't want to waste any more words, so I just pretended that I didn't check the almanac before going out. First, my fifth brother came out to show off his intentions, and then I met a brainless guy.
Wei Shiyu turned around and was about to leave.
But Youluo was still thinking about the Meimu Opera Troupe's performance, and reached out to grab Wei Shiyu's clothes: "Don't leave yet! It's not easy for me to come out, you, take me to the show first!"
Wei Shiyu was about to refuse, but when he turned around, he saw a familiar pair of people sitting behind the window of the teahouse next door, drinking tea.
If it’s not his second brother and Xingxing, then who else could it be!
At this moment, his second brother also looked over calmly, and saw Wei Shiyu and Princess Nan Zheng arguing with each other on the street, and he still looked calm.
But Xingxing, after seeing them, exclaimed "Huh".
Youluo followed Wei Shiyu's gaze and also exclaimed "Huh".
She remembered that particularly handsome man, he seemed to be King Cong of Da Xia?
Wei Shiyu quickly broke away and walked quickly towards the tea shop on the street.
He has to explain this to his second brother Xingxing!
He is not the kind of person who would flirt with Princess Nan Zheng in the street!
But Wei Shiyu didn't expect that Youluo didn't even hesitate for a moment and followed him.
Wei Shiyu was speechless.
Youluo walks faster than Wei Shiyu.
She walked to the table where Xing Xing and Wei Shiyan were sitting, and stood there, looking down at Wei Shiyan for a while, then at Xing Xing for a while, and said thoughtfully, "I remember that your Da Xia seems to be quite strict about relationships between men and women..."
Before Wei Shiyan and Xing Xing could say anything, Wei Shiyu became anxious and stepped forward quickly: "You barbarian, you know nothing, what are you talking about here!"
Youluo was not angry. After all, in the eyes of Daxia, Nanman was just a nickname, while in the eyes of the Nanzheng people, Nanman was more like a compliment!
Youluo sat down next to Xingxing and said naturally, "Pour me a cup of tea."
Xingxing didn't move.
It's not that she is proud of her status.
It was indeed a bit confusing in such a situation. The other party was ordering her around with a righteous attitude. If she really obeyed him, it would make them feel guilty.
Wei Shiyan's eyes were a little cold.
Wei Shiyu was not very happy either: "Don't you have hands? Can't you fall down by yourself?"
Youluo's eyes widened, and she was a little surprised: "I am a princess——"
Wei Shiyu sneered.
What’s so powerful about a princess in a small country like Nanzheng!
What did they, a prince, a prince, and a princess, say?
Wei Shiyu ignored Youluo and sat down on the other side. He reached out to pick up the kettle and poured himself a cup of tea. He asked Wei Shiyan, "Second brother, are you guys out here to have fun?"
Xing Xing nodded: "We only visited a few places last time, this time I will take Brother Yan to visit a few more places."
Wei Shiyu felt a little aggrieved: "Okay, you guys really did come out to play behind my back."
Wei Shiyan spoke up, his tone somewhat cold: "Have you shown your homework to Big Brother?"
Wei Shiyu immediately sat up straight: "You were right not to bring me out, schoolwork is more important!... I'm only out for a short walk, I'll be back soon!"
