Looking at the girl in front of him who slightly bowed and saluted, Prince Jing's eyes lit up: "Miss Xu, I still remember you."
He knew that for such a handsome and handsome young master like him, even if he hadn't seen her for more than half a year, Miss Xu would not be able to forget him easily.
It's like he has always been thinking about Miss Xu!
Xu Mingyi directly ignored the other party's unusual response and asked directly: "Dare you ask Prince Jing if there is something wrong?"
Prince Jing took something out of his sleeve and said with a smile: "This is the flower dew produced in Yunzhou. I brought it to Miss Xu specially -"
Xu Mingyi looked over subconsciously.
In the young man's hand is a small, clear glass bottle.
And if human sight could be used as a knife, this bottle would have been shattered into pieces by now...
——She was referring to the death stares from the two men not far away.
Xu Mingshi glanced around subconsciously.
What about the third eye?
Not seeing the shadow of the big bird, the boy frowned and was about to step forward.
However, Wu Chao next to him stretched out his hand to block his way.
Xu Mingshi turned around and saw the young man standing there, just looking quietly in the direction of his sister.
At this moment, Xu Mingshi inexplicably understood the young man's intention.
Does this mean that blocking is worse than sparing, and he wants to see how his sister will deal with these rotten peach blossoms?
Thinking like this, Xu Mingshi also cast his eyes on the people under the stone steps.
"I appreciate Prince Jing's kindness. It's just that I don't like to use flower dew, and the Prince's behavior is also inappropriate. If someone sees it, it may cause unnecessary trouble, so please take it back."
Xu Mingyi bluntly refused.
Prince Jing was stunned.
"Miss Xu doesn't like using flower dew?"
How can there be a woman in this world who doesn’t like to use toilet water?
Akui frowned secretly.
How come Prince Jing is still obedient and only half-listens to what he is told? The important point is whether her girl likes it or not. The girl has already said that it is inappropriate, so how can this person keep talking?
"Then...I wonder what Miss Xu likes?" Facing the girl who rejected him, Prince Jing showed a smile that he thought was still full of grace.
"There are many things that I like very much." Xu Mingyi also smiled: "And there is no shortage of anything."
The conversation was endless that day. Prince Jing's face was dull. After a while, he nodded with a smile.
There is no shortage of them all...
Xu Mingyi nodded back to him and left.
Seeing this, Crown Prince Jing hurriedly added, "Since we parted ways in Beijing last year, I have been grateful for Miss Xu's life-saving grace. This kindness has not been repaid, and it has always been a knot in my heart..."
"Provincial Chang!"
At this time, a stern voice suddenly interrupted his words.
Prince Jing turned around and saw a familiar face.
"Father, why are you here?"
Didn't you say that you went to play chess with His Majesty?
"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that you were completely drunk!" King Jing frowned and ordered the attendant beside him: "Why don't you help the prince back to sober up!"
"Father, my son is not drunk..." Prince Jing tried to explain, but he was still forcibly helped away.
"I have met the prince." Xu Mingyi then saluted King Jing.
What if the prince hadn't arrived in time to face the persistent drunkard? She had just had the urge to consider using drastic measures.
"This must be the girl from General Xu's family." King Jing said in a very kind tone: "This king's son likes to talk nonsense after just two glasses of wine. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me, Miss Xu.
"
"Your Majesty, your words are serious."
King Jing shook his head helplessly.
Hearing that the worried son was still saying that he was not drunk? He turned around and followed Wu Chao. When he passed by Wu Chao, he paused and said: "Thank you Wu Shisun for reminding me——"
Wu Chao: "Your Majesty, are you polite? You should."
King Jing was slightly startled.
Until you are far away? Still thinking - should you?
What does this mean?
Their Prince Jing's Palace and Prince Dingnan's Palace had never had much contact, and he clearly heard that Wu Shisun was aloof, arrogant and extremely difficult to get along with and make friends with.
But now it looks... quite warm-hearted?
Seeing his son drunk? Are you afraid of causing trouble? You even ask someone to remind him.
Thinking of this, King Jing slapped his son on the head.
"You bastard, you want to cause me some trouble again!"
"Father... my son is unjust." Crown Prince Jing still couldn't get rid of the support of his two attendants, one on the left and one on the right. He could only maintain the posture of being carried away: "I just want to say a few words to the savior.
It’s just words, how can it cause any trouble?”
"Savior?" King Jing asked, "Then what are you doing? Repaying kindness with enmity?"
"What are you talking about? My son really wants to repay his kindness..." Crown Prince Jing smiled sheepishly and said, "My son feels that Miss Xu is particularly different."
King Jing sneered again.
Especially different?
Isn't that all that's said?
It should be——a particularly different kind of beauty!
After all, you know your son’s virtues well? Can you expect a pervert to see inside a girl?
"No matter how different it is, can you still marry someone home?" Different from the past, where the matter was settled with just a curse? King Jing took this matter very seriously.
Marry home?!
Prince Jing's eyes were full of surprise: "Father, is it true? My son is willing!"
King Jing was so angry that he slapped him again.
"What are you willing to do? What sweet dreams are you having here!"
"...Father!" Crown Prince Jing cried out in pain, "You said so, didn't you?"
And pat him on the head every time? Even if he is naturally smarter than ordinary people, he can't stand such a slap.
"I want to tell you, since you can't marry, don't mess with me!" King Jing suppressed his temper and warned in a low voice: "Not to mention what will happen if this matter comes to His Majesty's ears, just speaking of your virtue,
If Old General Xu sees you pestering his only precious granddaughter, don't expect him to give me face and show mercy to you!"
He slapped it down and called it a slap.
If Old General Xu slaps you down, you will be killed.
As one of the princes who was picked up and spanked by General Xu when he was a child, the shadow of His Royal Highness’s childhood still lingers to this day.
"Is it so serious..." Prince Jing looked at his father with doubt on his face.
After all, he is also a descendant of the vassal king, and he is from the Xie family. Can Duke Zhen really do something to him?
King Jing sneered and said, "You can go and give it a try."
After trying it, maybe you can learn how to behave.
When the time comes, he will prepare a gift and come to the door to thank General Xu in person.
Looking at the look in his father's eyes, Crown Prince Jing's heart was pounding.
Does Miss Xu, who looks like a delicate flower, really have such a terrifying grandfather?
…
On the other side, after King Jing and his son left, Xu Mingshi walked up to Xu Mingyi, looked at her, and said with a childish face, "Follow me."
Xu Mingyi looked at the boy's back and felt that he could read the attitude of "a strict mother wants to teach her ignorant daughter how to behave."
She subconsciously glanced in Wu Chao's direction.
However, she saw that the other party had turned around, with his hands behind his back facing her, with his head slightly raised as if admiring the moon, as if he had the words "do nothing to save him" and "take care of himself" carved on the back of his head.
Xu Mingyi had no choice but to follow the boy.
Stopping in front of a bush of flowers and trees not far away, she asked: "What do you want to say to me tomorrow?"
I thought I would have to nag her a lot, raise my head and shrink my head, and after listening to her, she would go back to sleep.
Unexpectedly, the boy came up and said: "Why didn't you just give that Crown Prince Jing a kick?"
What kind of nonsense are you talking to about this dandy who pesters the girl's family through drunkenness?
Xu Mingyi looked at him in astonishment.
It's not that this request is unreasonable, but - this is what her family said clearly?
In the past, didn't he dislike her for acting too impulsively and always causing trouble?
As if he could read her thoughts, Xu Mingshi added with a sullen face: "Now I have discovered that some people can't survive without beating."
Xu Mingyi couldn't help but smile.
It seems that her family's way of dealing with people has changed a lot, and this change has made her more and more like the Xu family.
"I didn't feel that I was offended just now." She explained: "Although Prince Jing is not lovable, he is not to the point where he can't do anything without fighting."
After all, he is a prince, so how can he be beaten as easily as he wants?
Even if you want to fight, you have to find a place where no one can see you.
Of course, if the other party does this again and again and cannot understand human speech, then that is a different matter.
"Have you not heard how bad his reputation is?" Xu Mingshi frowned and said, "In my opinion, it is a huge offense for such a lecherous person to just stand in front of you."
Xu Mingyi wanted to laugh when she heard this, but seeing the boy's unabashed protection, she felt very warm in her heart.
In the last life, she and Mingshi had never gotten along like this, and there was no way he would show such emotions to her.
Therefore, it is not that many things do not exist, they are just hidden very deep and have no chance to be expressed and let people know.
Thinking of this, she felt her heart soften a lot, so she said with the mentality of teasing a child: "Well, from now on, if I really encounter any evildoers with bad intentions, you can fight them off for me."
good?"
Xu Mingshi glanced at her and said noncommittally: "I have been practicing boxing and kicking with Uncle Yun Liu recently..."
Xu Mingyi was just joking casually. After all, it was not his turn to beat some scumbag. However, when he heard that he was actually practicing martial arts, he couldn't help but be very surprised: "Don't you always dislike these things?"
What he learned was riding and shooting, which was within the six arts. As for boxing and kicking, he had never done anything like it.
"Can't you like it now?"
Faced with the boy's awkwardness, Xu Mingyi was very patient at this time: "When did you like him?"
"Not long ago..." Xu Mingshi turned away and said in a normal tone: "Grandpa is old after all, and you are so trouble-making. If I don't learn how to defend myself, how can I deal with the aftermath for you..."
"But didn't you just encourage me to cause trouble? Didn't you ask me to beat the crown prince?"
"..." Xu Mingshi couldn't help but feel angry.
Does she know how to chat?
Seeing that he was showing signs of hair loss, Xu Mingyi hurriedly said: "Okay, I know, you are thinking about me."
The so-called not long ago should be when she encountered Xia Xi's scheme outside the city, right?
Her younger brothers began to want to learn martial arts to protect her and support the family.
Although this alone is not enough, with this idea, you really start to grow up.
Looking at the boy in front of him who had grown more than half his head in just over half a year, a happy smile appeared in Xu Mingyi's eyes.
"...In short, if you meet Prince Jing in the future, don't be polite to him. This kind of person is the most annoying person." Xu Mingshi warned again.
"Okay, I've remembered everything. It's getting late. You should go back quickly. Aren't you going to go hunting tomorrow?"
"Well, I'm going back." Xu Mingshi glanced in the direction outside the flowers and trees. He didn't know what he thought of, and then said seriously: "You should also go back earlier."
Facing the housekeeper, Xu Mingyi nodded and agreed.
Xu Mingshi then left with Ah Jiu.
Xu Mingyi walked out from behind the flowers and trees, only to see Wu Chao still standing where he was.
It's just that he wasn't admiring the moon with his back to her direction.
The young man turned around at some point, his tall and straight figure stood under the moon, his eyes fell on her from a distance, obviously waiting for her.
Xu Mingyi walked over and said, "I thought you had gone back."
However, I heard the young man standing with his hands behind his hands ask: "——You don't feel offended either?"
Xu Mingyi was startled when he heard this.
After a moment of reaction, she realized that this person was actually imitating what she had just said to Mingshi.
"Wu Shisun actually eavesdropped on people's conversations?"
What about the good family upbringing?
Unexpectedly, the other party said calmly: "I didn't eavesdrop. You were not far away. It's difficult to pretend not to hear."
It's just that those words got into his ears.
"..." Xu Mingyi looked at him dubiously.
The young man lowered his eyes slightly and met her eyes: "Why didn't you answer what I just said?"
What words?
Xu Mingyi blinked and said "Oh", "That's what you said... I understand. If something similar happens in the future, I will do it more simply."
It was a very simple thing, but she really didn't want to listen to the second person talking about the same nagging, so she decided to take the initiative to express her attitude.
Wu Chao saw through her fear of being nagged, glanced at her with unknown meaning, turned around and walked forward, saying: "Miss Xu is indeed the most beautiful woman in the capital. The one who pestered Miss Xu today is the Prince Jing."
Not the first one."
Before the banquet started, he saw a young man talking to her.
Xu Mingyi followed him and looked at him: "Are you talking about the eldest son of Zhou Shilang's family?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the young man next to him stomping his feet. His face, which was not very gentle at all, now furrowed a pair of heroic eyebrows: "...is that Mr. Zhou?"
——When he was brought back to the Xu family by Duke Zhenguo, and the Xu family discussed his plans for a happy occasion, was the young master from the Zhou family who Xu Shizi said, "If we really want to celebrate, the young master from Zhou Shilang's family would be more suitable"?
He didn't know why he remembered such details so clearly, but he just thought of it instantly.
