Chapter 322 The Princess Wants to Play Badly 18
It was a false alarm, and the emperor looked unhappy. She glanced at the maid beside Mingjin, then looked at Biqing, but did not get angry. Instead, she praised Xie Wuyu, "Prince Rong's husband is very skilled, but have you practiced before?"
Xie Wu Yu immediately turned around and said, "Your Majesty, I learned some martial arts from my elder sister when I was young."
He smiled shyly and said, "But I am stupid and have only learned a little bit. It is good for strengthening the body, but it is absolutely useless for fighting with others."
The emperor thought of his sister, and his eyes showed some admiration. "Hey, it's good enough that you can learn a little bit. Your sister is a natural military talent, and ordinary people can't compare to her."
Xie Wu Yu bowed and smiled, "If my elder sister heard what Your Majesty said, I'm afraid she would be so happy that she couldn't sleep."
"It's a pity that she is far away at the border now and can't come back easily."
The emperor felt a little regretful, and looked at the person in front of him with even more pity.
Xie Wuyu's elder sister Xie Wushuang was raised by her and grew up in the palace. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is half her daughter.
That little girl, at such a young age, danced with a silver spear with great vigor and made a bold statement that in the future she would expand the territory for her and protect the eternal peace of Dayun.
Later, she went to the battlefield at the age of sixteen, drove the enemy back a thousand miles away at the age of seventeen, was appointed a general at the age of eighteen, and recovered the territory ceded by the previous dynasty at the age of nineteen. In the same year, she was named Marquis of Taiping and became famous.
Now she is twenty-five, and the emperor originally intended to call her back and choose a good man for her to marry.
However, the small countries on the border were ready to make moves, and fearing that war would break out again, they had no choice but to let her continue to stay on the border.
As her elder sister, she couldn't even attend her younger brother's wedding.
The emperor felt guilty and waved his hand, saying, "Forget it. Pass on my order to send this year's tribute of fine wine to the border as a reward for the army, and give the painting I drew yesterday to the Marquis of Taiping."
She paused and continued, "A few days ago, a small country in the southeast paid tribute to us with a kind of Haoyue brocade. It is as cool as water, as clear as jade, and has a delicate and bright luster. It is very rare and worth a fortune. After the palace has distributed it, there are still two pieces left. I will give them to Wu Yu and Wu You."
Xie Wuyou immediately stood up and saluted with Xie Wuyu.
"Thank you, Mother."
Mingnan pretended to glance casually in Mingjin's direction, and saw that she was lowering her head with veins bulging on the back of her hands holding the armrest.
Cui Qing sat awkwardly on the side, not daring to breathe.
Mingnan almost laughed out loud, but he quickly turned his face away and held it back.
This is just the beginning, Mingjin. You still have a long way to go in your frustration.
Because they had to return home, the emperor did not keep them for dinner. Instead, he let them sit for a while and then sent them to the Prince of Fuguo's Mansion.
When leaving the palace, Mingjin walked very fast, leaving Cui Qing far behind.
The Crown Princess raised her eyebrows when she saw this. "Who is she angry with?"
Mingnan's lips curled slightly, "The weather is hot, you must be getting angry."
……
The carriages of the Crown Princess and Mingnan stopped one after another in front of the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion.
The Duke of Fuguo had been waiting at the door with his family early in the morning. When he saw them coming, he immediately greeted them warmly.
Someone in the crowd whispered:
"Are those five carts at the back all gifts? Prince Rong is so generous!"
"Really? It seems that Prince Rong really cares about our Second Young Master."
"Who wouldn't be envious after seeing this? I wonder what they gave away."
Duke Fuguo listened and gave a look to his second daughter Xie Wuhua beside him.
Xie Wuhua understood, turned his head to look at the chattering crowd behind him, and whispered: "How can you make a loud noise in front of the noble? It's impolite and will make people laugh."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately shut up and lowered their heads.
The coachman opened the door, and the Crown Princess and Xie Wuyou came out one after another, followed by Mingnan and Xie Wuyou.
Mingnan came down first, and when Xie Wuyu came out, he grabbed his hand.
Her hands were soft and warm, and Xie Wu Yu was stunned when he held them.
Noticing everyone's gaze, he felt a little embarrassed and struggled to pull his hand back, but was held even tighter.
Mingnan glanced at him and whispered, "What are you afraid of? I'm your wife, isn't it normal for me to give you a hand?"
"That's in an ordinary family. Do you think any wife from a wealthy family would hold her husband's hand?"
"me."
Mingnan said confidently: "What does it have to do with you and me? If they don't do it, can't we do it?"
That does make sense.
And it's even more embarrassing to pull it in front of others, so it's better to just hold it like this.
Xie Wu Yu convinced himself and went with Ming Nan.
The people in the Prince's Mansion were indeed a little surprised to see this.
The Crown Princess joked, "Third sister and her brother-in-law have such a good relationship, it makes others envious."
Xie Wuyou smiled and nodded, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
Xie Wu Yu saw it and couldn't explain it, so he just gave him a reassuring look and nodded at him.
Mingnan was very generous and frank, saying: "Yes, Erlang is a handsome man, and he is considerate. I like him very much. I am sorry to have embarrassed you all."
After she said that, others didn't know what to say. They could only follow her words and praise them for being a good match, saying that Xie Wu Yu had a spoiled personality and asked her to be more tolerant of him.
Xie Wu Yu's ears turned red after hearing this.
He quickly looked to his mother for help.
The Duke of Fuguo said with a smile, "This is not the place to talk. Your Highness the Princess and the King, please move to the main hall."
There are fresh flowers in the floor-standing porcelain vases on both sides of the main hall, and various snacks and fruits are placed on each small coffee table.
Everyone took their seats one by one, and a maid came over immediately to serve tea.
The Crown Princess and Xie Wuyou are an old couple. People have no interest in them and all topics revolve around Xie Wuyou.
The Duke of Fuguo looked at Xie Wuyu and Mingnan calmly, and saw that they had frank expressions, clear eyes and eyebrows, without a trace of sadness. He thought that they had a good relationship, so he nodded with satisfaction.
But some things still need to be said.
"Lord, Wu Yu has been neglected in education since childhood. He is spoiled and willful, and a bit stubborn. Once he has made up his mind about a person or a thing, he will not change."
Xie Wuyu opened his eyes wide immediately after hearing this, "Mother——"
The Duke glared at him and told him to shut up.
Xie Wu Yu leaned back unhappily.
The Duke of Fuguo continued, "But he only looks stubborn, but he is actually kind-hearted, sensitive and affectionate. If he has done anything wrong, please bear with me, my Lord."
Mingnan smiled knowingly, glanced at Xie Wuyu, held his hand and placed it on the coffee table, and said seriously: "Don't worry, Duke. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I just like Wuyu's personality. Since he married me, I will not treat him badly."
"With your words, I feel relieved. Seeing Wu Yu's rosy complexion, I think he is living well in the palace."
Xie Wu Yu glanced at Ming Nan's hand and nodded, "The King treats me very well and always puts me first. Mother doesn't have to worry."
"Even though the king treats you well, you can't be arrogant. As the king's husband, you have to share the king's worries. You can't just act like a petty person. Do you understand?"
The four words "arrogant because of favor" once again touched Xie Wuyu's nerves.
He pulled his hand back abruptly and said uncomfortably, "What do you mean by being spoiled and arrogant? Mother, you are too bold to think so."
Mingnan and Duke Fuguo looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
The Duke of Fuguo nodded at him from a distance and said, "Look at you, aren't you arrogant?"
Xie Wuyu's face was burning with embarrassment. He glanced at Xie Wuyou who was snickering and immediately said, "Why don't you talk about big brother? Why are you staring at me?"
"Me?" Xie Wuyou chuckled, "Your Highness and I are already an old married couple, how can it be fun to tease you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room burst into laughter.
Xie Wu Yu was so angry that he pursed his lips and gripped the armrest tightly.
Seeing that the little puffer was about to explode with anger, Mingnan quickly patted him on the back to calm him down, "Okay, if you keep laughing, you'll make him angry and leave. I'll have to chase him, so please be gentle with me."
