The fifth wife wants to escape marriage: marry the princess

Chapter 21 She is Mrs. Xiao

It was too late to stop now, the white bird in the cage was released and flew to the sky with its wings fluttering.

You are free, little one...

Wushuang watched it fly away with a smile, and heard the sound of eager footsteps beside her ears. Before she could turn her head, she was pushed away from the cage.She staggered a few steps, nearly falling to the ground.

"Presumptuous! Do you know whose bird it is, so you dare to move it?" The visitor scolded angrily, looked up to see that the bird cage was empty, and was even more annoyed, "It's terrible, it's terrible, you just wait to die!"

Wu Shuang looked at the person who came, she was dressed in green palace clothes, more elegant than ordinary court ladies, and she was much older, if she guessed right, it should be an aunt.

But no matter who it was, it made her angry to push people fiercely, Wushuang retorted indifferently: "It's just a bird, what's the big deal."

"It's not a big deal? You're in disaster!" She said with raised eyebrows, "This is the bird that the emperor gave to Concubine Lan. You let it go now. Ten heads are not enough to cut off! Go, let me go!" Sheng Jia apologized, the emperor is in a good mood today, maybe he can be lenient, or else..."

"What are you doing, I will go by myself!"

Wushuang shook off her hand, and also became afraid.It's about Concubine Lan, that woman, just a slight frown can cause an uproar in the emperor's heart.

"You have done such a rebellious thing, and you are not allowed to talk about it, you..."

"Aunt Ah Xi, let her go."

A soft male voice interrupted the previous quarrel, and Wushuang turned around to realize that there was a third person here.I saw him coming out from behind the carved flower column, and said with a smile on his brow: "It's none of her business, I asked her to do it."

He... he is... King Heng? !

Wushuang's heart skipped a few beats, and she looked at the man in the wheelchair in disbelief.

Even though it was the first time we met, why did you feel like you knew each other?That gentle smile, as well as the refined air exuding from her body, made her feel familiar.

He was very quiet, sitting there, dressed in a crescent white mang pattern robe, plain gold silk cirrus boots, and a silver silk jade belt around his waist.From top to bottom, everything is exquisite and noble.

Wushuang looked at him with an almost presumptuous gaze.He bent the corners of his mouth into a nice arc, and looked at her with a faint smile.

Picturesque eyebrows probably describe a woman, but at this moment, it is not an exaggeration to describe Heng Wang.The facial features are exquisite and soft, very handsome, no less than Xiao Junyi.Or, these two people have different beauties and cannot be compared.

One is as hard as a mountain, and the other is as soft as the wind.

"Why are you in a daze, come to my side." Xiao Xuanyu said, motioning for Wushuang to come behind him.

"My servant has seen His Royal Highness King Heng."

Ah Xi bowed and saluted, didn't talk about the bird, but was full of interest in Wushuang, she looked like she was not a court lady, so she couldn't help asking: "Is this your side concubine?"

Wushuang was a little embarrassed, Xiao Xuanyu looked back at her, nodded and said: "Yes."

Ah Xi was very sorry, but also a little embarrassed: "I offended you just now, but this bird..."

"I will clarify this matter with my father. As for Concubine Lan, I hope my aunt will give you a pair of snow pigeons another day. I hope the empress will like it." The other party is Concubine Lan's personal maid, Xiao Xuanyu is very happy Be polite.

"His Royal Highness will take care of everything, and the slaves will feel relieved, and leave first." Ah Xi said, turned and left.

Seeing Ah Xi walking away, Wushuang was a little anxious: "Why did you help me?"

Xiao Xuanyu laughed: "I helped you, shouldn't I say thank you first, why are you still questioning?"

Why does he still look like he's not afraid of anything?

Thinking about Ah Xi's fierce appearance just now, this matter is not simple, Wushuang couldn't help worrying: "Will the emperor punish you?"

Xiao Xuanyu still did not answer directly, but asked: "Do you regret it?"

"what?"

"Regret to release that bird and provoke punishment? If you knew in advance that the bird was given to Concubine Lan by the emperor, would you still dare to release it?"

Unexpectedly, he would ask this, Wushuang looked up at the birdcage, which was stained with sporadic blood of the bird.Thinking of its freedom to soar high, I feel that everything is worth it.

"I don't regret it." She confessed, "I'm just hurting you, so I'm very sorry."

"Since I don't regret it anymore, why bother to apologize. I wanted to release that bird a long time ago, but unfortunately I don't have your courage."

"I am the ignorant and fearless." Wushuang laughed at himself.

Xiao Xuanyu suddenly turned his head and looked at Wushuang with surprise and confusion gradually: "We... have we met somewhere? I said, a long time ago."

Wushuang was dumbfounded, it was not long ago, they met half a month ago, in Hengwang Mansion, in the wedding hall.

Unfortunately, without fate, she couldn't become Princess Heng.

"No...no." Wushuang really didn't know how to admit it, so he chose to avoid it.

Coincidentally, there was a little court lady walking towards this side, and stopped in front of Xiao Xuanyu very respectfully: "I have seen His Royal Highness, the servant is a maid of the Liuli Palace, my master Lan said, there is no need for Xuege, I hope the prince will send her Let it go. As for Mrs. Xiao letting go of the bird, let it go. She will tell the emperor that she doesn't like the bird, and it has nothing to do with others."

Wushuang was shocked, Lan Fei knew everything clearly, could she be nearby?She looked around hastily, hoping to catch a glimpse of the rumored woman's demeanor, but there was nothing but the shadow of a lamp.

Mrs. Xiao?
Xiao Xuanyu was a little surprised: "You are Mrs. Xiao? Which Mrs. Xiao?"

How many officials with the surname Xiao are there in the court, how could he not know?

He had guessed that Concubine Lan was here, but he hadn't guessed that the kind-hearted and pretty girl in the corridor had married someone else's wife.That person, still...

Forget it, no regrets!This has always been his answer.

It was only then that Wushuang realized that her identity had been discovered, and she was embarrassed for a long time. After thinking about it, she didn't owe Xiao Xuanyu anything, so she simply admitted generously: "Of course it is Xiao Junyi's wife, my lord, we met."

When she said "Xiao Junyi", her tone was full of pride, she didn't know what she was taking revenge for.But it is clear that what Xiao Junyi said is true, she, Mu Wushuang, is the woman Heng Wang Xiao Xuanyu does not want.

She still does not understand, why?Why?What is the reason why the empress dowager regrets her marriage after moving out?
For her good?Because he is disabled?Oh, excuses, she won't believe it!

There were many twists and turns in her heart, but Xiao Xuanyu just smiled lightly: "No wonder I feel familiar, but I have seen it before."

After speaking, he propped up the wheelchair and left.Because I came out alone to breathe, and there was no servant to follow, it was very strenuous at the moment.

Seeing this, Wushuang didn't care about the past anymore, and stepped forward to push his wheelchair: "Just now you helped me out of the siege, now I'll send you back, it's settled."

Xiao Xuanyu didn't look back, but just nodded silently.

Wu Shuang naively thought that they could settle the dispute, however, she was wrong, this was just the beginning.

Quietly pushing him, walking together in this long corridor, they looked at the scenery, but they didn't realize that they had already become someone else's scenery.

Xiao Xuanyu didn't say where he was going, and guided Wushuang to go all the way, the two communicated casually, and after a while, they arrived at the Imperial Garden.

Wushuang pushed him in, and everyone cast their eyes on him.At that moment, Wushuang suddenly realized that he seemed to have done something wrong again.

"How did you two get together?" The emperor was a little taken aback, Xiao Junyi's expression was not very good.

"I just went to pay my respects to the imperial grandmother, and I happened to meet when I came out." Xiao Xuanyu replied, turned his head and said politely to Wushuang: "Mrs. Xiao, thank you!"

Wushuang didn't speak, and sat back beside Xiao Junyi in a bit of embarrassment.

If she had known that Xiao Xuanyu was going back to the Royal Garden, she shouldn't have pushed it away. Originally, Xiao Junyi said that she never cared about his face, but now it's all right, she must have exploded in anger.

She glanced at Xiao Junyi uneasily, he was still indifferent and cold as usual, showing no emotion.

The emperor saw that Xiao Xuanyu had no one to follow him when he went out, so he immediately gave him several maids and servants, but they all declined.Xiao Xuanyu made it clear that the steward of the palace had already set up a list to recruit maidservants for him.

Maid...

Throughout the dinner, Wushuang remembered these two words.

She never forgot the matter of "Snow Pearl". At first, she thought that after marrying Xiao Xuanyu, after a long time, she could ask him for it if the couple became deeply in love.But now, she is married to Xiao Junyi, and the relationship between the two is so bad, it's just a dream to want "Snow Pearl".

Otherwise, you can only steal it.

Wushuang secretly calculated, before he knew it, the palace banquet was over, and the audience had almost dispersed, Xiao Junyi got up and said, "I still have something to do, you go to the gate of the palace and wait for me first. "

"But, I don't know the way, Xiao..."

Wu Shuang really didn't know the way when he first entered the palace, Xiao Junyi didn't care, and strode away after giving orders.Mu Wushuang really suspected that he was with King Qiheng, so he deliberately dumped her.

From the palace gate to the imperial garden, a straight avenue, with the guidance of the servant, Wu Shuang will not get lost.

A man was walking on the road thoughtfully, thinking about how to get the "snow beads" and how to get out of the way.Although he is married to Xiao Junyi now, but this man's temper can be tolerated for a few days, if he wants to live forever, will he be frozen to death by this ice cube?

Worrying every day that the surrogate marriage would be found out and the Mu family would be implicated, it was like walking on eggshells.

"boom……"

Just looking down and thinking about something, he bumped into someone who came from the opposite side. The person let out a painful "ah", and then angrily said: "You bastard slave, you dare to bump into me, walk and keep your eyes open!"

After being yelled at head to face, Wu Shuang was already furious because Xiao Junyi threw her down, and now she raised her head and glared fiercely at the visitor as if venting.

That woman, or more appropriately a young girl, is about 15 years old, with plum blossom makeup that is popular nowadays on her oval face, with a charm that does not match her age.She was dressed in a gradated yellow gauze dress, which was noble and gorgeous, surrounded by three or two court ladies, and her background was not small.

"Why are your eyes so wide?" Qianxue looked at Wushuang domineeringly.

Wushuang replied angrily: "Didn't you tell me to open my eyes wider, is that enough?"

"You..." Qianxue was angry, "Come here, teach me a lesson for this impolite thing!"

Unlike before, this time the maid behind her didn't dare to move, and timidly persuaded her: "Princess, this is General Xiao's wife, let's go back to the palace first!"

Hearing that she was the general's wife, Qianxue was even more furious.One month ago, when the emperor went to the Summer Resort, he brought Concubine Lan and her with him. It was a glorious and happy event, but he never expected that Xiao Junyi would marry a wife when he came back!
