Chapter 394: Concubine And Principal Wife, Aren’t They Both Concubines!
Some words, if it was the previous life’s Xia Yuhang speaking, would certainly be deeply affectionate; he could show ten points if he only did one.
But now he did ten points, and only said one.
It wasn’t that she was pretending to be silly; she just dared not accept it, but at this moment, she didn’t know, she only wanted to cry, only wanted to cry out all the wronged feelings and misgivings in her heart, and felt inexplicable guilt.
The hand placed on her waist seemed to be startled by her sudden sadness, and then actually carried a few points of somewhat clumsy gentleness, gently stroking her back, as if afraid of scaring her, the hand was very light, completely without the usual cold and alluring appearance, and her tears, however, kept falling.
“Alright, stop crying, if you keep crying, your maidservant will think This King did something to you.” A voice with some helplessness came from the ear, this person would actually speak like this, quite a bit of surprise, but the inexplicable tears just wouldn’t stop, falling non-stop, as if to drop all the injustices and grievances she had suffered along with the tears.
At this time, she didn’t even bother to care what Lan Ning, standing to the side, was thinking; she was only immersed in her sadness and distress.
“Do you want This King to take you to the Duke’s Mansion and wipe them out?” Helpless voice, suddenly added a trace of bloody ruthlessness, slender fingers lazily hooked a strand of Ning Xueyan’s hair beside her ear, implying something.
Ning Xueyan at this moment had slowly stopped her voice, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and didn’t know how to respond for a moment. Her head was still lowered, and under her long eyelashes, a pair of beautiful eyes were red, an inexplicable big cry, even she herself didn’t know her own intentions at this moment.
“Let your maidservant wipe your face for you!” Ao Chenyi stood up, pulled her up, with a trace of gloominess, as if unconsciously sliding through his ink black, bottomless eyes.
“Young Lady, this servant will take you to wash your face.” Lan Ning had been truly frightened just now, and now seeing Ning Xueyan stand up, she hurried over to support her and walked into the room.
This time, Ning Xueyan came out taking advantage of the opportunity to go shopping, after the Imperial Edict was issued, Madam Tai ordered people in the mansion to open the door of convenience for her and Ning Qingshan, when they went out was fine, there was no need to report to her about everything.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw a eunuch coming in with hot water, and smilingly said to Lan Ning: “The Prince has instructed that it’s still cold these days, don’t wash with cold water.”
Lan Ning obediently accepted it, Ning Xueyan lowered her head, stirred the handkerchief in her hand twice, bit her lip, and almost couldn’t hold back again.
She didn’t know what happened today, it seemed particularly easy to shed tears.
After washing her face and tidying up, Ning Xueyan sat down again under the rose flower arbor, lowered her head, and used her slender fingers to hook the handkerchief, speechless for a moment.
“Goodness, you’ve cried your eyes swollen, those who know clearly that This King is discussing marriage with you, those who don’t know will think This King is robbing the bride.” Ao Chenyi still leaned against the side of the couch, the corner of his mouth slightly hooked, the feather-like eyelashes as long as a crow’s wing fluttered, a slight smile.
“This King laughs at me!” Ning Xueyan was quite embarrassed, and slightly flicked her beautiful eyes.
“I don’t laugh, but this is also good, and it saves This King from having to cover up for you later, crying at the right time.” Ao Chenyi looked at Ning Xueyan carefully from top to bottom, and suddenly spoke in a serious manner.
Ning Xueyan looked up in surprise, and faced the pair of gloomy eyes with a few points of mischievous meaning.
“The Prince means, acting requires?” This said, was quite unspeakable, but Ning Xueyan still said it seriously, and there was even nothing wrong with her face, only the pale white face, under Ao Chenyi’s gaze, slowly became flushed with a rosy blush.
“That’s right, originally This King also prepared Manjusawa juice for you, now it seems that it’s not needed.” Ao Chenyi said lazily.
“Really needed?” Ning Xueyan spoke seriously.
“Really needed.”
“Will it make people misunderstand something?” Ning Xueyan worried.
“No, besides the people from your Duke’s Mansion, will there be anything wrong when you return to the Duke’s Mansion later?” Ao Chenyi looked askance at Ning Xueyan and asked with a smile.
“Nothing.” Ning Xueyan shook her head, and would only say that she remembered Madam Ming’s matter, anyway, the Duke’s Mansion was now in a mess, no one would care about her, if Ning Qingshan and them knew, who knew how happy they would be! Madam Tai had no intention of asking about such things now.
“Then okay, let’s go together!” Ao Chenyi stood up, and his hand naturally reached over, took her slender waist, and half-embraced her as they walked out.
The carriage was parked at the back door, of course, not his carriage that showed his identity, the gorgeous carriage that was impossible to imagine, a light carriage and simple follow, he came out relatively simply today.
Because she was going to play the role of Ao Chenyi’s Favored Concubine, Lan Ning, of course, couldn’t go, and stayed in the small courtyard.
Although the carriage was not that one, it was also very wide, and a couch that Ao Chenyi liked the most was placed inside, Ao Chenyi went in, habitually leaned in, his hand still held Ning Xueyan without letting go, and pulled her onto it half-pulling and half-dragging.
He would also do this before, at that time, Ning Xueyan knew clearly that this was a transaction, no matter if she liked it or not, she had to endure it, and she had never resisted it in a cunning way, since it was a transaction, he helped her several times, she should not have psychological barriers in this regard.
But it seemed that after the tears just now, some things were inexplicably changing!
Although her body was still tense, but it was no longer so resistant, she quietly let him embrace her, she didn’t want to say anything, and he didn’t even use the usual chilling attitude, without any extra action, just quietly embraced her, not the kind of strong ruthlessness that was impossible to imagine in the past.
Halfway there, the carriage stopped, and he changed back to his wide, gorgeous carriage embroidered with blood-red Manjusawa, in the carriage, Ning Xueyan sat on one side, Ao Chenyi picked up a piece of veil beside him, and wrapped it on her face, covering her whole cheeks, only revealing a pair of swollen, beautiful eyes, at a glance, it was known she had been crying.
Ao Chenyi lowered his head slightly, and watched her dress up playfully, suddenly reached out his hand, and pulled down one or two strands of her hair beside her ear, and then patted his hands with satisfaction: “It’s done, it’s almost like this.”
“The Prince wants to see Princess Xianyun?” Ning Xueyan also figured out who he was going to see at this time, and asked in surprise, her appearance was not like the usual appearance of seeing the Third Prince.
Ao Chenyi nodded languidly: “When you see her later, you can cry about the grievances you have suffered, don’t care about her.”
“Princess Xianyun is in Prince Yi’s Mansion?” Ning Xueyan asked in confusion, didn’t it say that before the wedding, the unmarried couple were not allowed to meet? Princess Xianyun, such a well-behaved young lady from a good family, how could she not know this kind of thing, and run to Prince Yi’s Mansion, her watery eyes blinked, and she was quite dazed.
“Something happened at the An Country Duke’s Mansion?”
It seemed that besides this, there was really no other reason to say.
“Well, something small happened at the An Country Duke’s Mansion, Princess Xianyun wants This King to help.” Ao Chenyi smiled, and after letting go of Ning Xueyan, he leaned back, and his slender eyes flashed with a faint chilling coldness.
“Prince, can you tell me more carefully?” Ning Xueyan asked, a small matter? Of course, it couldn’t be a small matter, if it was really a small matter, how could this Princess Xianyun, who looked very calm, disregard the rules and run to Prince Yi’s Mansion.
Ao Chenyi stared at her face and looked at it, his eyes were gloomy and cold, with lustrousness: “It’s about a matter of jealousy, do you really want to hear it?”
“Prince, I have to know the cause and effect of the matter, otherwise how can I act.” Ning Xueyan said dissatisfiedly, bit her light-colored cherry lips, the embarrassment of crying just now, inadvertently came up again.
“It’s okay, you just need to act cute later, This King is the most fond of this.” Ao Chenyi said as a matter of course, but Ning Xueyan couldn’t help but grind her teeth secretly, everyone in the entire capital city knew that, if anyone was not cherishing the fragrant and pitying the jade, it was the His Royal Highness, Prince Yi in front of her, it was said that in his hands, nine out of ten beauties were beheaded.
“The Prince’s cherishing the fragrant and pitying the jade, is truly famous.” This was said word by word, biting her back teeth.
“Well, you know that!” This answer was even more proud, as if it was originally like this, Ning Xueyan puffed up her cheeks, and couldn’t help but angrily glare at him.
He really dared to answer this, not to mention the distant things, just let her, last time, follow him and acted a play, at that time, it was not the beauty sent by the Emperor in the palace who was directly beheaded, at that time, he was not seen to have a half-point of pity, just took the hands of the beauties.
“Are you jealous?” Her appearance pleased Ao Chenyi, he suddenly leaned closer, and his handsome face was full of smiles.
“No!” Ning Xueyan said decisively, turned her head to avoid his warm breath, it was originally a very normal sentence, but she didn’t know why her face was burning again, how could she be jealous, she really wanted to ask the situation clearly, no matter how Princess Xianyun would be next, she would have to cooperate.
“The Prince’s meaning is, I have to show the appearance of being jealous?” Her heart was beating a little fast, she simply turned the topic, and felt that if they continued to talk, it would be really terrible.
Everything about her today seemed not very normal, she didn’t know if it was because of the fact that she was crying in a truly inexplicable way, and she didn’t speak as freely as before at this time.
“Well, this is the best, This King’s Beloved Concubine, is of course favored to the point where there is no limit, even a Principal Wife, it looks like she is not favored.” Ao Chenyi glanced at Ning Xueyan wickedly, raised his head, leaned back and implied.
So that means let her “be jealous” as much as possible, and this jealousy must also be big enough.
“It’s best to also pull in This King’s Concubine, to show that she wants to join hands with This King’s future Concubine, to deal with her, the Principal Wife, the Concubine and the Principal Wife, aren’t they all concubines? Who knows who is the principal one and who is the concubine next!” The gloomy voice, was good to hear as usual, but Ning Xueyan listened with a vague feeling.
This Asura King who was always arrogant, was he encouraging the women in his backyard, to fight to the death? Could it be that he liked the fun of watching women fight?
“Prince, do you like to see me deal with others, or do you like to see others deal with me? Or do you just like to purely watch us deal with each other?” Ning Xueyan felt that she needed to ask clearly, after all, how she would act next, depended on his meaning.
