"So it's like that!" Xuanyuan Jing put on an understanding look, "I don't need their gratitude. That Mu Ming who forced me to break the engagement with him even thought of doing so to tarnish my reputation as a princess." Xuanyuan Jing pretended to be angry.
"Alright, Jing Er." Xuanyuan Zhan said helplessly, "Second brother knew that you were kind and could not bear for the two of them to be separated from each other, so he forced the marriage off with his death. Why is my, Xuanyuan Zhan's sister so petty? "
Xuanyuan Jing laughed, "Who said I'm not petty, I'm just a petty person. The anger she has for treating this princess like this has not disappeared."
Xuanyuan Zhan couldn't help but laugh, thinking that although this little sister of his looked magnanimous and understanding on the surface, in reality, he would still have the temper of a child in front of him.
"Alright, if you're really angry, then go and scold Mu Ming in front of him. Is that alright?" Xuanyuan Zhan said, tomorrow you will go to second brother's residence, second brother will let you take care of the hatred in your heart.
"Pu ~" Hearing Xuanyuan Zhan's words, Xuanyuan Jing couldn't help but laugh.
"Then don't just lie to me and make me happy, second brother?"
"Of course."
The brother and sister chatted for a while. Xuanyuan Jing looked outside and felt that Ning Fei should be up by now.
"Second Brother, I just so happen to be going to pay respects to the Ning Fei Empress. Let's go together."
"That's good too, it's been a long time since I've paid respects to Mother."
Ever since Xuanyuan Zhan had been bestowed the title of Duke, and was cooking outside the palace, although there were no restrictions, he had still been restricted from entering the palace to see his mother. royal father didn't wish to see his mother often, and he also didn't wish to interact with the people in the imperial harem often either. All these years, it was fortunate that Jing Er had always taken care of his mother for him.
Xuanyuan Jing had lost her daughter early on, and she was always bullied by other princes. It was because Ning Fei often helped her, which made Xuanyuan Jing feel her mother's warmth, so in Xuanyuan Jing's heart, the Ning Fei was like his own mother. She had always been very respectful towards the Ning Fei, and it was also because of this that Xuanyuan Jing was relatively closer to him ever since she was young.
The two of them went to Wanluo Palace to greet the Ning Fei.
"This son (Jing'er) greets mother (Queen of Ning Fei)." Seeing his own son and Xuanyuan Jing, who he doted on as his own daughter, coming to pay respects to him, Ning Fei was extremely happy in his heart. Although Jing Er often came to pay her respects, she rarely saw her son when she was born in the harem. Xuanyuan Zhan couldn't help but be very happy when he came to the palace to pay his respects.
"Zhan'er, why have you two siblings come together to pay respects to matriarch today?"
"Because second brother wants Jing Er." Xuanyuan Jing snuggled closer to Ning Fei's side.
The two stayed at the Ning Fei Palace to chat with the Ning Fei for awhile, before Xuanyuan Zhan left.
Although the emperor allowed Xuanyuan Zhan to visit the imperial harem to pay respects to the Ning Fei, Xuanyuan Zhan felt that it would be best if he did not stay here for too long, in case someone took the opportunity to cause trouble.
When he returned to the manor, he coincidentally saw Feng Yu bringing Dou Dou back.
"Uncle Battle-King." Seeing that Xuanyuan Zhan had returned, Dou Dou ran over and shouted excitedly.
In the past few days, when he had nothing better to do, Feng Yu would often bring Dou Dou out to play, and he also brought Dou Dou to the Mu Manor to find Shangguan Qinger. Don't look at how quiet Dou Dou was, he actually really liked staying with that crazy girl Shangguan Qinger and wanted to play with him. As for Shangguan Qinger, who was also a child, she was naturally very willing to bring Dou Dou around as they strolled around, eating delicious food to play with.
"How is it, did Dou Dou have fun with mother today?"
"En, Uncle Battle-King, let me tell you …"
On the second day, Xuanyuan Jing came to Battle King Manor.
"Second sister in law, I don't usually leave the palace. It's rare for me to leave the palace today, so why don't you take me for a walk? It's said that the capital is bustling, especially in the ghost market. Jing Er hasn't seen it yet. " Xuanyuan Jing pulled Feng Yu and said in a spoiled manner. Somehow, she really did like Feng Yu. Maybe she really did have this kind of magic. Every time she was with Feng Yu, Xuanyuan Jing felt extremely at ease, as if he was a child who could act as coquettishly as he did when he was with Xuanyuan Zhan.
"Of course it's good. The Ghost Market and the Night Market are the most famous places in the capital. The Ghost Market is also the best place to go at night. How about this, Princess doesn't go back to the palace today, I'll take you for a stroll." Feng Yu suggested. As for your second brother? He still has some matters to take care of in the military camp today. I'm afraid that I will not be able to accompany you. "
"It's fine. I can settle the general's affairs earlier, and then I'll go find you."
"Alright, we have a deal then. Second Brother, don't forget about it." Xuanyuan Jing agreed without hesitation.
After that, after Xuanyuan Zhan and Feng Yu left, Feng Yu prepared to take the princess for a stroll in the capital. But now, Dou Dou was not going to agree to it.
"No, mother has to bring Dou Dou to play outside, and Dou Dou has to go as well."
Feng Yu had no choice but to go, but Dou Dou had always wanted to go, so he was not willing to stay in the mansion himself. Fortunately, Xuanyuan Jing also liked this little brat, Dou Dou, so the two of them brought Dou Dou along to set out together.
Furthermore, the princess had not even left the pavilion, so it would not be good for her to show them off like this. Hence, Feng Yu came up with an idea, the two of them disguised themselves as handsome young masters, asking Dou Dou to call them "uncles". Just like that, the two of them arrogantly led Dou Dou out of the door.
Although he was taking Xuanyuan Jing on a stroll around the capital, Feng Yu had not forgotten the important matter.
"How about this, I think the sky is getting darker. Right now, going to the Ghost Market isn't really appropriate. Why don't we go listen to a storybook at the Bamboo Lover Pavilion first?" Feng Yu suggested.
"Alright, alright." Upon hearing that they were going to the Bamboo Assassin, the happiest person was none other than Dou Dou. " Dou Dou likes to hear the stories from that place the most. "
"That's good too, I've never heard of storytelling before." Xuanyuan Jing heard the novelty, and seeing how excited Dou Dou was, he thought to himself that there was no harm in listening to it.
"Alright, I'll get someone to prepare the car." Feng Yu then gave Lei Yu a meaningful glance, and Lei Yu immediately understood.
Feng Yu brought Dou Dou and the others to the Bamboo Pavilion, and as soon as Dou Dou got off the car, he ran inside as if he was familiar with the route. Feng Yu helplessly looked at the books from behind, and then asked for a private room, bringing Dou Dou and Xuanyuan Jing to sit in a private room to listen to the books.
Xuanyuan Jing had been thinking since she was young, so she naturally had never heard such a common story before. She couldn't help but become enthralled after hearing it, and shout it out together with Dou Dou.
As for Feng Yu, she seemed somewhat absent-minded. As she listened to the book, she would occasionally glance outside, as if she was waiting for someone. Xuanyuan Jing realized that Feng Yu was distracted, and cleverly, she did not say anything. Originally, she came to Battle King Manor today precisely because her second brother invited her. Xuanyuan Jing understood in her heart that they had only come here because Mu Ming and Shangguan Qinger wanted to see him. Thus, she did not reveal her Phoenix Feather, but only feigned ignorance.
After listening for a while, there was a sudden knock on the door, followed by a thunderstorm.
"Princess, Princess." Thunder Rain said, "Princess, General Mu came. He said that he wanted to meet you and personally thank you."
Xuanyuan Jing laughed but did not say a word, quietly looking at Feng Yu. Feng Yu felt a little embarrassed when Xuanyuan Jing looked at him in this way. " Your second brother said that if you don't want to see him, then we will disappear. Feng Yu quickly threw the pot to Xuanyuan Zhan. I won't take the blame anyway.
"Forget it, bodyguard Lei, go and invite him in."
Following that, Mu Ming entered with Lei Yu. Behind Mu Ming was Shangguan Qinger. The moment Xuanyuan Jing saw Shangguan Qinger, her expression couldn't help but change.
"General Mu, I wonder why you have come to find me?" Xuanyuan Jing pretended not to know the cause and effect, and asked coldly and arrogantly.
"The last general of the princess is here to personally thank the princess." Mu Ming said, "I thank the princess with all my heart. As I said that, Mu Ming couldn't help but cast a doting gaze at Shangguan Qinger."
"Cough!" Is this how you show that Princess Ben is nothing? " Xuanyuan Jing said. I, this princess, simply do not want to marry you and the playboy. Furthermore, even though this princess was the one who annulled the engagement first, the General Mu had brazenly brought his little lover over to me, just like that. Just where is the dignity of this princess for you to act like this? "
If it wasn't for Feng Yu saying this, no matter how difficult it was for you, we would have still let you off. After all, we owe you this debt first. I have to get up there and give it to you, and give me back my love.
"I did not mean it that way, I hope that Princess does not misunderstand, I know that if Princess did not try to force Your Majesty to break the engagement with her, I would not be with Qing Er, and I have come with Qing Er to personally express my thanks to you, Eunuch."
"That's right, although you are a noble princess, I am not bad either, how am I not good enough for the Elder Brother Mu, and you even call me a little lover." Shangguan Qinger retorted as she signaled Feng Yu with her eyes to speak up for him.
However, Feng Yu acted as if she was waiting for a good show. I just don't want to help you, what can you do to me?
Xuanyuan Jing saw Shangguan Qinger's expression and couldn't help but laugh. It was no wonder that Mu Ming would fall for her, she was actually worthy of Mu Ming liking. She was bold and unpretentious, whatever she wanted to say, if it was Xuanyuan Jing herself, she would involuntarily fall for this straightforward little girl.
"Pfft ~" Xuanyuan Jing couldn't hold back her laughter at all.
Mu Ming and Shangguan Qinger looked at each other, confused, before looking at Feng Yu and then at Xuanyuan Jing.
"Alright." Feng Yu was simply too stupid to continue acting like this. "The princess is just teasing you two." "That's true."
"Ah ~" Shangguan Qinger said. "Good f * * king, Feng Yu actually lied to me as well. But Princess, are you really not angry? "
"What do you think?" Xuanyuan Jing raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Princess, since you're such a big adult, you shouldn't be angry, right?" As he said that, Shangguan Qinger very naturally moved closer to Xuanyuan Jing's side, and Xuanyuan Jing smiled without saying a word.
Mu Ming watched on from the side and couldn't help but feel embarrassed. As expected, women were hard to understand. Was that all? Mu Ming expressed his confusion.
After that, Mu Ming and Shangguan Qinger naturally joined the ranks of the four, and in the time it took to make a cup of tea, Shangguan Qinger got to know Xuanyuan Jing well, and the two even laughed and talked, quickly establishing a revolutionary friendship.
Xuanyuan Jing was also very happy, although this time's matter was a little … But luckily she didn't break up the two people who loved each other, and she even got to know Shangguan Qinger. A lively and cute girl was very likeable.
Xuanyuan Jing really liked Shangguan Qinger's personality. Since sshe was young, he grew up deep in the palace and admired people like Shangguan Qinger who had that kind of personality. Furthermore, Shangguan Qinger was a girl who knew herself, so she couldn't help but get to know her very quickly.
