In fact, Xie Mingxi's sullenness has long since dissipated.
Now he is deliberately sullen, just to tease Sheng Hong.
Sheng Hong may not be clear in his heart. But he is still willing to bow his head and give in to spoil her and make her happy! How could she not understand his intentions?
Xie Mingxi felt a little hot in her heart, and her eyes softened a bit when she looked at Sheng Hong: "Don't be so arrogant and rash in the future. If these things are spread to the palace, and the emperor and the empress know about it, you will have to be scolded."
pause."
Sheng Hong smiled nonchalantly and said, "My father will be a little disappointed if my son and daughter love me so much. However, my mother will only be happy."
This is true.
As a prince who has no ambitions for the position of heir, he has a long love for his children but a short love for heroes. At most, he will be teased a few times, but there is no real hindrance.
Empress Yu tried her best to support the third prince and didn't care whether Sheng Hong succeeded or not.
After Sheng Hong finished his studies, he also began to attend court to attend to political affairs. It has been several months since the beginning of the year. The second prince, the third prince, the fourth prince and the fifth prince all received errands. Only Sheng Hong, the seventh prince, did not receive the official errands.
Difference.
We cannot entirely blame Emperor Jianwen for being partial.
Sheng Hong was determined to keep a low profile and never steal the third prince's limelight. Instead, he pretended to assist and follow the third prince. Emperor Jianwen was inevitably a little disappointed.
Thinking of this, Xie Mingxi felt a subtle and unspeakable feeling in her heart. After a while, she whispered: "Sheng Hong, you are really aggrieved by doing this."
Sheng Hong heard the meaning of Xie Mingxi's words and grinned: "Mingxi, are you feeling sorry for me?"
Xie Mingxi gave Sheng Hong a deep look: "Yes, I feel sorry for you."
The eagle is obviously capable of spreading its wings and flies, but instead of flying to high altitude, it is spinning at low altitude. Sheng Hong may be a little unwilling in his heart!
Sheng Hong suppressed his smile, stretched out his hand, took Xie Mingxi's hand, and said softly: "Mingxi, I am not wronged. At present, this is the only way I can stand on my feet."
The second prince entered the Ministry of Rites, the third prince entered the Ministry of Husbandry, the fourth prince took charge of the Ministry of War, and the fifth prince went to the Ministry of Punishments.
The crown prince has not yet been established, but there are four older princes above him. If he competes for the limelight at this time, he will become the target of public criticism. The safest and surest way is to give in...
First seek a foothold to protect yourself, and then slowly plan for the future. He has plenty of patience and is not in a hurry.
There are some words that Sheng Hong doesn't need to say, but Xie Mingxi can understand them.
Xie Mingxi was silent for a moment, and then said: "It's okay to give in a little, but if someone bullies you without the foresight, don't swallow your anger."
The feeling of being cared about wholeheartedly by someone is so wonderful!
Sheng Hong nodded, that smile spread from the corner of his mouth and soon colored his eyes.
Xie Mingxi also curled her lips and smiled at Sheng Hong.
…
Xie Mingxi withdrew her hand and asked casually: "How did Zhao Qi react when he saw Yan Zhenzhen today?"
Sheng Hong smiled teasingly: "Don't mention it. Before he left, he begged me to intercede with you. Please say a nice word for him in front of Yan Zhenzhen."
So, this is what you like?
Xie Mingxi raised her eyebrows and smiled: "I can't accept this kind of thing. If he is interested, he will go to Madam Yangzhao to ask the official media to propose marriage, or have a serious meeting. If sister Yan is not happy, there is nothing anyone can do."
Sheng Hong shrugged helplessly: "I have already told him these words. He begged me shamelessly, and he will not leave until I nod."
After studying at Songzhu Academy for a year and a half, I had many classmates and friends. Among them, Zhao Qi had the closest relationship with him and had the best friendship.
His friend begged him like this, but he couldn't bear it when he refused.
Xie Mingxi sighed with emotion: "People flock together and birds of a feather flock together. This is absolutely true. It's not surprising at all that he can become a good friend with you."
Sheng Hong: "..."
Sheng Hong was left speechless, and Xie Mingxi chuckled: "Well, in that case, I will ask Sister Yan privately. If Sister Yan is willing to see him, I will create an opportunity for them to meet."
Sheng Hong solemnly cupped his hands and thanked him.
Xie Mingxi was amused and laughed: "You and Zhao Qi are in love."
Sheng Hong also laughed: "I have been sitting at the same table with him for more than a year, and our relationship is always better than others."
After chatting for a while, Xie Mingxi urged Sheng Hong to leave.
Sheng Hong had no choice but to stand up, take out a long and delicate box from the secret pocket in his sleeve, and put it into Xie Mingxi's hand: "This is a hairpin gift from me."
Sheng Hong was quite interesting and often gave small gifts to Xie Mingxi. This was the first time that he was so solemn and serious about it.
Xie Mingxi was about to open the box, but Sheng Hong immediately stopped him: "You can see it after I leave."
Xie Mingxi was a little surprised. When she raised her head, she caught a suspicious red cloud on Sheng Hongjun's face.
Is this shy?
Xie Mingxi couldn't stop laughing: "Okay, I'll send you away from the house first, and we'll see you later when we return to Chunjin Pavilion."
…
After Sheng Hong left, Xie Mingxi returned to Chunjin Pavilion. Cong Yu and others were sent away, leaving her alone in the room. She took out the long wooden box and opened it.
What is placed in the wooden box is a wooden hairpin.
It can be seen that the person who made the wooden hairpin is very careful and chooses the best sandalwood, which has a simple and elegant color and exudes a faint fragrance. The begonia flower on the head of the hairpin is vividly carved.
Today, on the day of the hairpin, she received many precious jewelry. This wooden hairpin was probably the cheapest gift.
But it is also the most precious one.
This is a wooden hairpin made from materials selected and polished by Sheng Hong himself.
I don't know how much time and thought he spent to make such a wooden hairpin. He kept it secret from her until today, and he was very tight-lipped about it.
In Xie Mingxi's mind, Sheng Hong's slightly shy and handsome face flashed, and she couldn't help but laugh again.
There seems to be hot magma in my heart, breaking through the solid ice and rolling in my heart.
Xie Mingxi looked in the mirror, took off the gorgeous gold hairpin on her head, replaced it with a wooden hairpin, and smiled at the beautiful girl in the mirror.
The sweetness in my heart lingers for a long time.
…
Two days later, Xie Mingxi returned to Lianchi Academy.
Gu Shanchang glanced at the wooden hairpin on Xie Mingxi's head and casually asked with a smile: "Why don't you wear your golden hairpin instead of a wooden hairpin?"
Xie Mingxi pursed her lips and smiled softly: "The wooden hairpin made by Sheng Hong himself. Although it is a bit ugly, it was always his heart. So I wore it!"
Gu Shanchang: "..."
You are already old, and you still need to be shown affection from time to time!
Gu Shanchang looked at it carefully and said quite pertinently: "The wooden hairpin is well made, and the workmanship is almost the same as that of ordinary craftsmen. You still think it is ugly and you are too picky."
Xie Mingxi blinked and smiled humbly: "How dare I praise him in front of Master! I just said the hairpin was ugly on purpose!"
