Mad Concubine Proud of the World: Your Highness is the most beloved

Chapter 33 His Royal Highness Cheng Wang
Xia Ningxi looked back at him, pursed her lips and said, "Let's go eat first! We'll talk about other things later."

Xia Muheng nodded sullenly, and the two entered the dining room in the front hall. Lord Xiahou and others were already waiting for the two to come back.

As soon as the two of them sat down, Master Xia Hou looked at Xia Muheng with a cold face, and reprimanded him: "Heng'er, you know that the wound on Ning Xi's face is still not healed, so how can you take her around? All day long! How can you be so careless in doing things!"

Xia Muheng lowered his head slightly and frowned, and said in a low voice: "My child knows his mistake, and he will definitely pay attention in the future."

Master Xia Hou flicked his sleeves impatiently, and said coldly: "Yesterday the imperial physician came to the house but did not find Ning Xi, and today he did not find Ning Xi. If he can't find anyone again next time, the imperial physician will not come again."

Hearing that Lord Xia kept reprimanding Xia Muheng, Xia Ningxi felt somewhat uncomfortable, looked up at Lord Xia with a cold expression, and said, "Father, it wasn't my second brother who took me out, I begged my second brother to go out with me. .As for the injury on my face, I know it in my heart, it’s fine if it gets better, and if it’s not good, I won’t force it.”

Holding his breath in his chest, Master Xia Hou was so angry that he couldn't speak, he secretly tightened his palms, calmed down, and said, "Just don't worry, daddy said that he will try his best to heal your face. Let's eat first!"

Xia Muheng heaved a sigh of relief as if he had been pardoned, and looked at Xia Ningxi gratefully.

Xia Muyao and Mrs. Zheng felt very uncomfortable, they glanced at each other with worried expressions.

Even though they are a family, eating together is always dull and depressed. Xia Ningxi hates this kind of depression very much.Although the food in the mountains is simple, but it is comfortable to eat, but now it is good, eating a meal is like looking at people's faces, and I feel uncomfortable all over my body.

So, she ate some casually, and she didn't bother to care who was happy and who was not, so she went back to her room.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw You Huang brewing a pot of clear tea with some of her favorite snacks beside the tea pot. She raised her sleeves with a smile like a spring breeze, and said, "Xiao Ning'er, I specially prepared it for you. , Come and eat!"

Xia Ningxi's eyes lit up immediately, she hurriedly walked to the table and sat down, her smile was brighter than flowers, she pinched a piece of chestnut cake and took a bite, she kept nodding her head and said, "Well, it's delicious, you know it best I know what I like to eat."

You Huang added a cup of tea and handed it to her hand like flowing water, and said with a smile: "You usually pretend to be careless, but only I know that you still cannot avoid the habits of these daughters' families, and you love snacks the most."

"You Huang, now I finally know how wonderful it is to have you by my side." Xia Ningxi mumbled while eating.

Little Putao is also a greedy eater, he quickly jumped off You Huang's shoulder, took a snack from the plate, held it in his arms, and ate it like no one else was around.The eating appearance of one person and one beast can be said to be in sync with the gods, and you can't help but laugh when you look at it.

The twilight receded and the night shrouded in darkness. After eating and drinking, Xia Ningxi lost her sleepiness. She lay on the table with her chin in her hands, looked at the bright moon outside the window resentfully, and said, "I slept too much during the day. After a long time, I will suffer from insomnia at night, and I have eaten so much, I don’t think I need to sleep tonight.”

"If you don't need to sleep, come and play chess with me!" While speaking, You Huang had cast a spell and set up the chessboard near the back window, holding a black jade chess piece and smiling at her.

Xia Ningxi turned her head and glanced at him, curled her lips and said, "Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I'll play chess with you." While speaking, she stood up and walked to the chess table to sit down, picked up a white jade chess piece and dropped it, first Be strong.

You Huang didn't bother with her either, and the two fought back and forth without smoke.

The weather is getting warmer and warmer, and the heavy spring clothes are becoming thinner and thinner. The lotus flowers in the lotus pond have buds, and the dragonflies are standing on the tip of the lotus, flapping their translucent wings gently.

Today is the eldest lady Xia Muyao's birthday, and the servants of the manor were busy shopping early in the morning, just to prepare for the birthday banquet at noon.

Although it is not appropriate to make a big fuss about the birthday of a girl who has not left the cabinet, it is still necessary for the family to celebrate together. Occasionally, there are some ladies from the noble family who have friendship with Xia Muyao on weekdays, and the courtyard will inevitably become lively.

After eating a simple breakfast early in the morning, Xia Ningxi nestled in the hut outside her room, leaning on the railing with her cheeks propped up, looking towards the direction of the lotus pond.

She deliberately wore a pink thin dress, her hair was loose on her shoulders, and she wore a pink silk flower with a ribbon on her hair. On her smooth forehead, a willow leaf-shaped flower tint was painted on her smooth forehead. The color of her lips was also mainly pink. It has a flirtatious style that charms all living beings.

If it wasn't for the fact that her face was still covered with a veil, and if it wasn't for the fact that everyone in the family knew that her face had already been burned, they would definitely not be able to help but look at her a few more times.

There were gradually many people around the lotus pond, all of them were ladies from the noble family who came to congratulate Xia Muyao on her birthday, and occasionally a few princes and princes also came to congratulate and show their hospitality, but because of the difference between men and women, it was inconvenient to come near.

Xia Ningxi looked away casually, and took the wine glass from the table to her lips.

You Huang sat opposite her incognito, and said with a sigh: "You've already made up your mind? Are you really going to go into the water to save people yourself?"

"Don't worry about it, I have my own plan." Xia Ningxi looked careless, and drank the wine in her glass in one gulp.

Outside the corridor, Xia Muheng lifted up his clothes and walked up the steps, walked quickly to stop in front of her, frowned and said: "It's my eldest sister's birthday today, why are you still sitting here alone? There are many people in the house, you always have to go out to meet them say something."

Xia Ningxi poured another glass of wine, said with a light smile, "If someone sees my current appearance, wouldn't it be embarrassing to the Hou Mansion?"

Xia Muheng frowned, sighed and said, "I just want to help you, and I want you to make more friends with people. Maybe you can meet someone you like, so you don't have to marry into the East Palace instead of eldest sister."

"Second brother's kindness, my younger sister appreciates it. However, I have my own plans. I don't like to deal with those noble ladies, and I don't like to intrigue with them. Second brother should be busy with elder sister! I'm going to stay here all the time, I'm not going to walk around and cause trouble for everyone."

Xia Muheng had nothing to say, fell silent, and nodded reluctantly: "Since you don't want to deal with them, I won't force you either. I will arrange for someone to bring the food to you later."

"Second Brother Lao." Xia Ningxi nodded with a gentle smile.He could see that Xia Muheng was not half-hearted, she didn't have to treat someone who sincerely treats her well with cold eyes.

Xia Muheng heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and left first. Before he left the corridor, a servant hurried over, stopped beside Xia Muheng, and said anxiously: "My lord, Prince Cheng is here, Lord Hou asked the younger one to come and find you."

"The thirteenth prince, Cheng Wang." Xia Muheng frowned and muttered, and hurried to the front yard.

You Huang tilted his head to watch Xia Muheng go away, retracted his gaze, stared at Xia Ningxi with fixed eyebrows, and said: "People are coming, you should be careful later, don't let others see your flaws."

"Isn't there still you? I have nothing to worry about." Xia Ningxi smiled generously, continued to drink, and kept an eye on the movement around the lotus pond.

At the gate of the Hou Mansion, a carriage embroidered with colorful luan stopped slowly, and a man in a brocade embroidered blue robe stood respectfully under the carriage.

The curtain embroidered by the colorful luan slowly opened, and the man who came out of the carriage was wearing a dark blue robe made of high-quality cloud satin, with gold silk python patterns embroidered on the cuffs of the skirt, and walking, there was a natural noble majesty .There is a jade crown on the black hair, sword eyebrows and star eyes, as bright as the moon, and every move reveals a world-class elegance.

Lord Xia Hou and the others had already greeted the man at the gate of the mansion. When they saw the person getting off the sedan chair, they rushed forward to greet him, bowed their hands respectfully and saluted: "I have seen His Royal Highness Cheng Wang, but I don't know that King Cheng is coming, so I am far away to welcome you."

The dark blue sleeves fluttered slightly, and King Cheng smiled faintly, and hurriedly approached to help Lord Xia, and said in a gentle voice: "This king and Lord Hou are both courtiers, Lord Hou doesn't need to be so courteous. Today is Miss Mu Yao's birthday, and this king just came to see her." Look, I will give you a congratulatory gift by the way."

Lord Xiahou was overwhelmed with flattery, he laughed and said: "My lord is busy with official duties every day, and he is still thinking about my daughter's birthday. I thank you lord on behalf of my daughter."

King Cheng didn't say much, and walked into the Hou Mansion with a light smile, walking all the way to the main hall.

After entering the main hall and sitting down, Master Xiahou hurriedly ordered someone to serve tea, sat with King Cheng on the main seat and chatted, and by the way ordered someone to invite Xia Muyao.

When the ladies of the family who came to congratulate Xia Muyao heard that King Cheng was coming, they all crowded around the main hall, looking up with peachy faces.

Everyone in the Tianchen Kingdom knows that besides His Highness the Prince, the one who is most loved by the people in the imperial city is the Prince's thirteenth uncle, His Royal Highness Cheng Wang——Yu Shengchi.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is certainly wise, but after all, he is sick and weak, and it is rumored that he will not live long. No one wants to be a Crown Princess who will be a widow sooner or later.

But King Cheng is different, not to mention his handsome appearance, and his outstanding military achievements after several battles, it can be said that he is capable of writing and martial arts.

It's just that for some reason, His Royal Highness Cheng Wang is now twenty-two, but he is still a widow and has never married a concubine.He only cares about the eldest lady of Xiahou Mansion, and the other women don't even look at her at all.
