Chapter 346 The Princess Wants to Play Badly 42
As for what action to take, it goes without saying.
The two of them looked at each other and knew what was going on.
Xie Wuyu exclaimed, "She is really bold."
"Since we've come this far, it's better to give it a try rather than fail at the last hurdle." 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 no need to worry about failure."
After that, he asked again: "So what are you going to do? Wait and see what happens, or give the Crown Princess a warning?"
"Do not 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 Wu Yu 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, "Is the king not back 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?"
"Just being dignified can't hold 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 whoever's place she wants. Occasionally, she will let someone stay overnight in her yard, but she will not really let anyone stay there forever.
The Ning Wang Mansion is no exception. Cui Qing has a separate courtyard in the backyard and usually lives here.
It was also because of this that he was completely unaware of Ming Jin sneaking out of 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 king 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 king has been sleeping alone during this period. Besides, the king is pregnant now, and it is better for her to sleep alone to take care of the baby."
When the pregnancy was mentioned, Cui Qing's expression looked a little 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 prepare for bed.
As a result, as soon as he stood up, the window suddenly opened.
The wind blew unhindered, causing the candlelight 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 appeared on the low table out of nowhere.
He looked out the window in panic, but saw nothing. He quickly closed the window and then picked up the thing on the low table. 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 suddenly twitched, 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.
"It's too much to bully others, it's too much to bully others!"
He clenched his fists, turned around and was about to go to 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 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 repeatedly.
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 of the current dynasty. 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 no banquet be held 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 people from 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 scent 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 was a little uncomfortable with it.
She looked intently and discovered more details.
Xie Wu Yu wore a narrow-sleeved red robe today, which was embroidered with cloud patterns and golden lotus in gold thread. It was glittering and made him look extremely good and noble.
He tied up his long hair and wore a golden crown. All the loose hair on his forehead was combed up, 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 bright sight.
He also wore a sachet and a jade pendant on his waist. The jade pendant was decorated with golden tassels, which swayed gently with his movements.
Mingnan raised an eyebrow, reached out to grab 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 his hands into the quilt, and pulled her out by her armpits.
Mingnan: "???"
Who did you learn this cat-catching technique from?
After fishing her out, Xie Wu Yu placed 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 manipulate him, stretching his arms and legs in a very cooperative manner.
After he was dressed, Mingnan discovered 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 boy should wear something bright."
"Come on, put on your shoes, it's time to go wash up."
Mingnan said, "I don't want to wear it, can't the birthday boy go barefoot?"
Xie Wu Yu 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, picked up some clean socks and put them on her, then held her ankles and put on her shoes.
"You are the birthday boy, so I will serve you today, okay?"
Xie Wu Yu looked up at her.
Mingnan smiled and pinched his face, "How can the birthday boy walk by himself?"
"That's right." Xie Wuyu laughed, turned his back to her, and said, "Come up."
