Sheng Hong's heart felt hot and he looked over reflexively.
The girl standing there, who else could it be but Xie Mingxi?
After being ill for several days, Xie Mingxi did not lose weight. She lay on the bed all day, eating and sleeping to recuperate her energy. The haggardness of the previous days of hard work was gone, her complexion was rosy, and her eyes were bright.
At this time, those bright eyes were staring at him coldly.
His Highness the Seventh Prince, who was angry and unhappy just a moment ago and insisted on staying, suddenly became "weak", frowned and said: "Hey, my chest hurts so much!"
Everyone: "..."
The face is a good thing, don’t be too uncomfortable!
Xie Mingxi glanced at Sheng Hong, who was pretending, and gave a faint order: "Please help His Highness the Seventh Prince to the bed to rest."
The waiters were busy responding.
Xie Mingxi added a few words calmly: "His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is not allowed to stay and move around at will without the permission of the imperial physician. If His Highness does not listen to the advice..."
The next sentence must be "Go and call me over immediately!"
Sheng Hong was thinking expectantly, and when he would use this as an excuse to make a little fuss and ask Xie Mingxi to come and accompany him more, he heard Xie Mingxi slowly say the next sentence: "As long as it's up to you, Your Highness!"
Sheng Hong: "..."
Sheng Hong's mood at that moment could not be described in words. He looked at Xie Mingxi with complicated eyes.
Wife, you are really cruel.
…
"Your body is yours. If you don't take care of it, others don't have to worry about it." Xie Mingxi looked gentle and even had a slight smile on her face.
Sheng Hong, who was familiar with Xie Mingxi's temper, knew that this was what Xie Mingxi looked like when he was angry.
She is used to hiding her true emotions with a smile.
The angrier he is, the more he behaves as if nothing has happened and smiles charmingly.
"I was wrong." Sheng Hong admitted his mistake sincerely: "I shouldn't have ignored my health and forced myself to stay and move around. Mingxi, I was really wrong. I will never do this again. Don't be angry."
Xie Mingxi raised her eyebrows slightly, with just the right amount of surprise in her tone: "Why did Your Highness say this? Your Highness is a royal prince, how can I dare to be angry with His Highness?"
It’s over! I’m really angry!
Sheng Hong immediately ordered his chamberlain to help him go back to the bed and lie down: "You all, please get out of here! I just need Mingxi to accompany me."
It's fun for a young couple to play tricks, but it's really an eyesore for them to stay here.
The imperial physicians and chamberlains withdrew wisely.
Ran Mo didn't want to leave, but Xiang Hui glanced at him and had no choice but to leave together.
Soon only Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi were left in the tent.
Sheng Hong looked at Xie Mingxi intently, like a person who has been hungry for a long time and sees the fragrant braised pork...
Any young girl who is stared at with such eager eyes by her fiancée will inevitably become a little timid and shy. Unfortunately, Xie Mingxi is not among them.
Xie Mingxi walked unhurriedly to the bed and sat down. She was calm and calm under her fiancé's scorching eyes, which were like looking at braised pork. Sheng Hong had a little strength to move, but he could still hold back, and reached out to hold Xie Mingxi's hand.
…
In the past, when he was still the "Sixth Princess", he often held Xie Mingxi's hand. At that time, Xie Mingxi only regarded him as a good friend and had no troubles in her heart.
Now, she must be able to feel his enthusiasm and joy!
Sheng Hong looked at Xie Mingxi with secret joy and expectation.
Xie Mingxi did not pull back her hand, but said casually: "When you recover from your injury, you can no longer go to Lianchi Academy. It's time to go to Songzhu Academy by then!"
Sheng Hong: "..."
After not seeing each other for a few days, we were finally able to be alone. With such a beautiful scenery, shouldn’t we talk about something intimate and considerate? Why bring up such a disgraceful topic?
What’s even more embarrassing is what’s behind.
"It doesn't matter if you were worse at your studies in the past."
Xie Mingxi's words are heart-wrenching: "You used to be the 'Sixth Princess'. You like riding and shooting, you don't like the Four Books and Five Classics, and you are not good at rituals and music. It doesn't matter."
"Now that you have regained your status as a prince, you will have to attend Songzhu Academy with the other princes. If your academic performance is not as good as theirs, it will be a shame."
"The emperor's requirements for you will be far greater than before."
The prince of the Tian family is not that easy to do. Emperor Jianwen can dote on a princess, but he will not be lenient and indulgent to a prince.
With three princes, four princes and five princes in front of him, it will not be easy for Sheng Hong, the seventh prince, to fight for the Holy Favor.
Sheng Hong stopped joking and whispered: "I have already considered what you said."
"You are right, I will be in a very difficult situation in the palace in the future."
Concubine Mei committed the crime of deceiving the emperor and was lucky enough to save her life, but it was no different than being thrown into the cold palace.
Although Sheng Hong saved the emperor, he could only barely offset his guilt of concealing his true identity for many years. How could Emperor Jianwen not feel resentful about "taking" Xie Mingxi away?
It was precisely because Emperor Jianwen was unhappy that he left Sheng Hong alone in the mountains to recuperate, while he returned to the palace early to recuperate.
The palace would send people to inquire about Sheng Hong's injuries every day, and the supplements and medicinal materials were never used up. Looking at the surface, Sheng Hong was quite prosperous. Only a few people knew what was really going on inside.
If you want to gain a foothold in the palace, if you want to compete with other princes, if you want to not be bullied by others, if you want to establish your own power... this road is by no means easy.
…
The two of them were silent for a moment.
The two hands were still clasped together. Sheng Hong had no intention of teasing, and after pondering for a long time, he whispered: "Mingxi, you are much more familiar with the palace than I am. I will need your help in the future.
"
Xie Mingxi gave Sheng Hong a deep look: "You have done an excellent job in the past three years."
In just three years, Sheng Hong completely adapted to her new identity and slowly revealed her true temperament without leaving any trace. This changed everyone's view of the "Sixth Princess" and won the favor of Emperor Jianwen.
Chun Lie's assassination was a stroke of genius. I don't know how much thought Sheng Hong spent secretly, but there was no flaw in it.
Neither of them said anything, they knew each other well.
It is indeed too risky to gamble with one's life.
But it’s also the best way to break the situation!
Emperor Jianwen Emperor Yu sent several chamberlains to serve him. These chamberlains were all fresh faces. They were also the eyes and ears of Emperor Jianwen Emperor Yu. Sheng Hong's every move was under the control of the emperor and empress.
It's okay for the two of them to quarrel or quarrel, but if it's really important, they must not say it casually.
Sheng Hong squeezed Xie Mingxi's hand tightly and said after a while: "In short, the biggest hurdle has finally been overcome."
yes!
The crisis of his identity has been resolved, and so has her dilemma. This game of chess has finally gotten off to a good start.
Xie Mingxi raised her eyebrows slightly, held Sheng Hong's hand with her backhand, and said softly: "Don't worry, I will try my best to help you."
They are already an unmarried couple.
They will walk hand in hand on this difficult road. (To be continued)
