Chapter 348 The Princess Wants to Play Badly 44
Xie Wu Yu sat up straight and said seriously: "This is my first time, so it's a little rough, please don't be disgusted."
"How could I dislike it?" Ming Nan smiled, "No matter what it is, as long as you make it, I like it."
Xie Wu Yu then took out a rosewood plaque from his sleeve.
The wooden plaque is about half the size of a fist, and is carved into the shape of a chubby little pufferfish. It looks lifelike at first glance. The pufferfish is wearing a thin rope woven with gold thread, and has golden tassels at the bottom. It is clearly a pendant.
Mingnan was stunned for a moment, then he took it with surprise and held it in his palm to admire it.
Looking closely, the knife work is indeed not very good, some places are deep and some places are shallow, but overall it is still very good.
Especially this little puffer fish, it doesn’t seek to resemble the original in appearance, but only in spirit, so it looks particularly cute.
Mingnan couldn't let go and stroked it, "How did you come up with this? I like it so much!"
Xie Wu Yu saw her reaction from the side and was satisfied to see that she really liked it.
"This is a fan pendant. I made a pair." Xie Wu Yu said as he took out his own wooden plaque from his sleeve. The pufferfish one was the same as Ming Nan's, but the color of the rope and tassel was changed to blue.
Mingnan put the two little puffer fishes together, and with a "click" sound, the two little puffer fishes "kissed" each other.
Xie Wuyu: “…”
He took back his wooden sign with a look of confusion, "I'll go tie it to your fan."
"it is good."
Mingnan couldn't wait to get up and pull him back to the bedroom.
When Xie Wuyu was changing the pendant, Mingnan never took his eyes off the wooden sign. After it was changed, Mingnan immediately took it and slapped it twice.
Thinking of something, she paused slightly, pulled Xie Wu Yu's hand over and looked at it. Sure enough, she saw deep and shallow marks on his hand.
They were rarely together these days and hadn't been very close, so Mingnan hadn't noticed it.
The smile on her lips faded a little, she looked up at Xie Wuyu and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"
Xie Wu Yu saw the pain in her eyes, shook his head, touched her cheek and said, "It's inevitable to get injured when learning sculpture, you'll get used to it. These wounds were left at the beginning. After I became more skilled, I didn't get any new ones, and they don't hurt anymore."
Mingnan didn't say anything. He held his hand and touched the wounds one by one. They had indeed healed, but it still hurt when they were just injured.
Her heart moved, she leaned closer, lowered her head, and gently kissed his palm.
Xie Wu Yu paused for a moment, as if a feather had scratched his heart, making it itchy and numb for a moment.
Mingnan raised his head, smiled, and said sincerely: "Thank you, this is the best gift I have ever received."
The peach scent in the room became more and more obvious. Mingnan hooked Xie Wuyou's belt, pulled him in front of him, put his arms around his neck, and kissed him actively.
When love is deep, it is hard to let go.
The two were so engrossed that they didn't hear the footsteps at all.
As soon as Danzhu came in and opened his mouth, he said the word "Wang", but when he looked up, he saw the two of them being intimate. His face immediately blushed and he wanted to quietly leave.
But Ming Nan still heard that. She let go of Xie Wu Yu, her eyes still filled with tears, so beautiful that people dared not look directly at her.
She cleared her throat and asked, "What is it?"
Danzhu stopped and said with his head down: "It's lunch time, the flower hall is about to start the banquet, Zhou Xingzhi asked me to ask the king if he wants to show up."
Xie Wuyu helped Mingnan straighten his collar and whispered, "Go ahead."
Mingnan nodded. "After all, this is my nominal maternal grandparents' home. If I don't even show up, I don't know what rumors will spread. I don't care about other people's opinions, but if those censors keep an eye on me, I'll be so annoyed that I'll die."
"It's okay. If you don't want to deal with it, let's have a drink and leave." Xie Wu Yu said.
The two of them tidied their clothes and went to the flower hall with Biqing and Danzhu.
The flower hall is next to the water, with a beautiful view, a riot of colour and full of vitality.
However, the people in the hall did not have any appreciation at this time.
Old Mrs. Xu sat next to the main seat, with two empty seats next to her. The rest of the people sat around her, making those two seats particularly eye-catching.
Maids shuttled back and forth, putting down plates of exquisite delicacies.
Old Mrs. Xu looked at it, her brows furrowed more and more.
Her daughter, Mingnan's aunt, couldn't help but curl her lips and whispered sarcastically, "Our King Rong is a royal descendant, very noble, he disdains to associate with small fish and shrimp like us. Mother, I said that your trick is useless. Look, he doesn't even want to show up on his birthday."
"What is Auntie saying? You might as well speak louder."
Mingnan held Xie Wuyu's hand and walked slowly from the flower path. The sunlight shone on them, making their bright red clothes dazzling.
Like two balls of fire floating from the sky.
Everyone in the hall stood up.
Aunt Xu, who had just made some small talk, suddenly changed her expression and said awkwardly, "I pay my respects to the Lord and his wife."
Mingnan glanced at her, too lazy to argue with her, and walked to the main seat with a smile and sat down. Xie Wuyu sat down next to her.
"Okay, it's a great day, everyone, please don't be restrained and take a seat."
"Thank you, Lord."
Everyone looked at Mingnan without picking up their chopsticks. Only after Mingnan took the first bite did they pick up their chopsticks and start eating.
The shadow that Xie Wu Yu left on Old Lady Xu was so great that she didn't say much during the meal.
Mingnan's uncle and aunt tried to talk to her several times, but she inadvertently diverted the conversation.
After many times, they also knew Mingnan's attitude and no longer tried to get close to him.
Mingnan and Xie Wuyu had each eaten half a bowl of noodles before they came. Now they picked out their favorite dishes, moved their chopsticks a few more times, drank two glasses of wine, and then got up and left.
The Xu family did not stop him. Since they could not curry favor with them anyway, Mingnan would feel more comfortable if he left them.
……
Mingnan and Xie Wuyu had just left the flower hall when Zhou Xingzhi hurried over with a doorman and happened to meet them.
"Greetings, Lord Wang, and your Majesty."
Zhou Xingzhi hurriedly led everyone to pay their respects.
Mingnan glanced at the doorman and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Xingzhi didn't answer and looked at the doorman.
The doorman immediately said, "In reply to the king, just now Lu Ce... Du Yao, who is beside Master Lu, came and said that Master Lu wanted to see the king."
Mingnan frowned, "Lu Feiyu is here too?"
"I didn't see him, but Du Yao came here in a carriage, so he might be in the carriage."
Mingnan immediately looked at Xie Wuyu.
Xie Wuyu seemed to be thinking about something, "Didn't he say what it was?"
The doorman said bitterly, "I asked, and Du Yao said it was a serious matter and he would only tell the king."
Mingnan hesitated for a moment and said, "Let him go back. If he really wants to say he doesn't want to see me, I can tell him. But if he insists on seeing me, it means he is not sincere. If you use this as a threat, I—"
"Go ahead. I'll go with you." Xie Wuyu interrupted her and said, "Hasn't he been very close to that person recently? Maybe there really is something going on."
Mingnan looked at him deeply, with complicated eyes.
Xie Wuyu couldn't help but touch his face, "What's wrong? Is there something?"
Mingnan nodded, "A bit mature."
Xie Wu Yu took a moment to understand what she meant. He held her hand helplessly and squeezed it. "Because you have given me enough respect and dignity, and let me know that my position is unshakable, so I have nothing to be afraid of, and I am willing to accompany you to face everything."
