Xie Mingxi turned slightly and looked over: "What are your instructions, Your Highness the Princess?"
The words were casual and intimate, with a hint of ridicule.
After last night, the bad feelings between the two gradually disappeared, and they had a new tacit understanding when talking and getting along. They kept silent about each other's identities and secrets, just like a pair of ordinary friends.
The Sixth Princess rolled her eyes at Xie Mingxi: "I'll give it to you."
Xie Mingxi laughed dumbly: "No need. My second uncle will come to pick me up personally. Your Highness the Princess should go back to the palace by yourself! Don't wait too long on the road, lest Concubine Mei worry about it."
But the sixth princess was very insistent: "I'll take you back." After a pause, she said, "From now on, I'll take you back to the house every night. There's no need for the Xie family to bring a carriage."
That weird "too good for her" feeling is here again!
Xie Mingxi suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and smiled at the Sixth Princess: "I know Her Royal Highness means good intentions. However, seeing each other off every night is too troublesome. It really doesn't have to be like this..."
The Sixth Princess interrupted Xie Mingxi aggrievedly: "You come to the academy in Lin Weiwei's carriage every day, why can't I take you back every day?"
Xie Mingxi: "..."
Without waiting for Xie Mingxi to speak, the sixth princess stepped forward, took Xie Mingxi's hand, and walked towards her carriage.
Xie Mingxi could only turn to Xie Ming and said, "Second uncle, just get on the carriage and go back."
Xie Ming: "..."
Seeing is believing. It turns out that the Sixth Princess and Xie Mingxi are so good friends.
Xie Ming was reminded by Mrs. Xu every day. Although he was not clever enough, he knew at this time that he had to follow the wishes of the Sixth Princess. He called Fuyu and Xianghui by the way: "You two are riding in this carriage, so as not to disturb Her Royal Highness the Princess and Ming
Mother, speak."
Fuyu readily agreed.
Xianghui hesitated for a moment, then thought about it, they already slept and ate together, so having another person in the car and traveling with him was nothing, so he agreed.
…
Without Fuyu and Xianghui, the sight suddenly became much quieter.
The Sixth Princess was also more relaxed than usual. She pulled out the compartment and took out two boxes of snacks: "Xianghui has prepared candied meat snacks. Let's eat some to fill our stomachs first."
Studying consumes energy, and practicing martial arts for an hour consumes even more energy.
Xie Mingxi was very hungry, but she didn't refuse politely, and responded with a smile: "Okay."
There are two boxes, one is filled with candied fruits and various preserved meats, and the other is neatly placed with four-color snacks. Both are carefully made by the royal chef in the palace, and they are of excellent color and fragrance.
Xie Mingxi picked up a piece of snack and took a bite. It was sweet, soft and fragrant, and it was quite tasty.
The Sixth Princess is not interested in snacks and only chooses various kinds of dried meat to eat.
Xie Mingxi ate a piece of snacks. When she saw that the Sixth Princess had already eaten half a box of dried meat, she couldn't help but laugh: "I didn't expect you to love meat so much. Don't you want to eat snacks?"
The sixth princess replied smoothly: "How can I eat such sweet snacks?"
As soon as I finished speaking, my heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, Xie Mingxi, who had a keen and delicate mind, raised her bright eyes and looked over: "It turns out that Her Royal Highness doesn't like sweets."
Most girls aged eleven or twelve like to eat sweet and greasy things. There are very few girls like the Sixth Princess who don't like sweets and only like to eat meat.
The Sixth Princess responded very calmly: "I don't like sweets by nature."
Fortunately, Xie Mingxi didn't become suspicious again and picked up another snack with a smile: "Since Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn't like sweets, I won't be polite."
Xie Mingxi eats very well, elegantly and delicately, and her speed is not slow. After eating, her lips are clean.
The Sixth Princess specially picked a delicious piece of beef jerky and handed it to Xie Mingxi: "The beef jerky tastes very good, please try it."
Xie Mingxi did not refuse, took it with a smile, took a bite, and praised: "It's salty and delicious, it's really delicious."
Immediately afterwards, a piece of candied fruit was handed to her mouth: "Try the candied fruit."
This move is really quite intimate.
Xie Mingxi raised her head subconsciously, and the Sixth Princess came over without knowing it, with a smile in her eyes.
Xie Mingxi couldn't bear to refuse, so she had to "smilingly accept" the Sixth Princess's kindness, lowered her head and took a sip. The candied fruit was sour yet sweet, with a long aftertaste.
The sixth princess seemed to have fun with it, and took another piece of dried meat, and eagerly handed it to Xie Mingxi's mouth.
Xie Mingxi couldn't help but laugh: "I am not a three-year-old child. I have hands and feet, so I dare not trouble Her Royal Highness to serve you."
The Sixth Princess grinned: "Don't bother me, I'll enjoy it."
She finally smiled to herself.
It's not the smile when wearing a mask, it's not a shocking sneer, but a relaxed and comfortable smile. When you look at it, your heart will bloom quietly like a flower.
A little sweetness surged up from nowhere and spread quietly.
Happy time is always so fast that it makes people feel melancholy.
It seemed that in just a blink of an eye, we arrived outside the gate of Xie's mansion.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for sending me back." Xie Mingxi thanked her with a smile, got off the carriage, and waved to the Sixth Princess: "Your Highness, please come back! See you tomorrow!"
The sky has darkened, and the wind lantern hanging on the gate of Xie's Mansion is swaying in the breeze.
Under the flickering light, Xie Mingxi's face was like jade, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised.
The Sixth Princess curled her lips at Xie Mingxi, waved happily, and finally turned around.
…
Xie Ming was silent all the way, and finally couldn't help but sigh: "Her Royal Highness the Sixth Princess is so kind to you."
yes!
The sixth princess was really nice to her!
The sixth princess in her previous life was silent and spoke little. Even if she cared for her, she would not show it so obviously. The friendship between them was as gentle and gentle as a stream.
Today's "Sixth Princess" is much more lively and enthusiastic, and cannot be ignored.
Just like last night, he insisted on accompanying her to Huainan Prince's Mansion and stood in front of her.
Even with her cold heart, she couldn't refuse such a frank and enthusiastic intention.
Xie Mingxi sighed silently, cheered up and said, "Second uncle, no matter what, thank you very much for taking me back to my home today."
Xie Ming was a dull and honest man, and Xu's shrewdness and vigor were not imparted to him at all.
The honest man speaks very matter-of-factly: "It's a trivial matter, but you seem to be out of touch with your repeated thanks. I'm your second uncle, and it doesn't matter if I take you back home."
"Besides, I have nothing to do all day. Lan Niang and Yuan Zhou are all picked up and dropped off by me when they go to school. I will pick you up after I pick them up and return home. The time is just right."
After saying that, he patted his forehead again: "By the way, Her Royal Highness the Princess said today that she will send you back to your home every night, but is it true?"
Xie Mingxi smiled helplessly and said: "I wanted to refuse, but Her Highness the Princess refused. I always feel that it is inappropriate to trouble Her Highness the Princess so much."
Xie Ming thought for a while and said: "In that case, I will just go and wait for you every day. Your Highness the Princess is willing to send you off, so it's good for me to follow and take care of you."
