The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 933 - 517: Xiao Jinxing’s Shamelessness and Warmth (Second Update)
"No problem." Xiao Jinxing said, and as he spoke, he even chuckled, "I’ve told you before, I don’t mind if you see me as him."
"I mind." An Ning replied bluntly, "I’m not like you; I never deceive emotions."
Xiao Jinxing laughed self-deprecatingly.
He hoped she could deceive him.
At least then, she wouldn’t be so distant from him.
He lifted her face.
An Ning frowned.
What on earth is this guy doing now?
"An Ning, I’m actually quite easy to fool." Xiao Jinxing said sincerely.
"As if!" An Ning denied flatly, "There’s no one more cunning than you in the world."
"Is that really how you see me?"
"That’s exactly how I see you." An Ning repeated, "Murdering the heart!"
"That’s you." Xiao Jinxing accused her, though his eyes were full of affection.
An Ning turned her gaze away.
She thought mentioning Fu Xingyi would make things awkward, cold, and silent between them. No matter what, Xiao Jinxing should be bothered by Fu Xingyi’s existence, yet Xiao Jinxing showed no emotional fluctuation whatsoever, even casually brushing off Fu Xingyi.
It was like that person never impacted their relationship.
Xiao Jinxing was truly too arrogant.
Did he think she would eventually fall in love with him?
Or is he giving up?
He knows he can’t measure up, so he simply accepts it?
"Let go of me." An Ning frowned tightly, unwilling to argue with Xiao Jinxing anymore.
Yet her face was being cradled by Xiao Jinxing, firmly pressed into a lump.
His actions resembled Youyou more.
Xiao Jinxing suddenly laughed.
"Why are you laughing? Let go of me." An Ning snapped.
Is this person insane?
After doing all this tonight, she was ungrateful and even deliberately provoking him, shouldn’t he be furious?
Yet here he is, still laughing.
"I can’t hold back, An Ning." Xiao Jinxing said, his voice magnetic and slightly raspy.
"What?" An Ning watched him warily.
Is he going to hit her?
"Turn around, all of you!" Xiao Jinxing suddenly commanded.
Ping Gonggong immediately understood.
Hurriedly ordered all the Palace Attendants to turn around.
And in that instant.
"Mmm." An Ning’s mouth was sealed by Xiao Jinxing with a kiss.
Son of a bitch!
This is what you couldn’t hold back?!
Unable to resist making a spectacle in front of so many Palace Attendants... Well, at least they’re turned away.
But in such a public setting, what will people think?
Why not do it privately, instead of preferring this?!
An Ning’s mouth was swollen from Xiao Jinxing’s kiss.
It took who knows how long before he finally released her.
Then awkwardly, their eyes met in silence.
"Madam, this is the lotus seed soup that His Majesty specially requested the Imperial Chef to prepare for you." Ping Gonggong suddenly entered, having a Palace Attendant carry a bowl of night snack.
"I don’t want it. Eating sweets before bed makes you gain weight." An Ning rejected flatly.
"A bit of weight is good, easier for childbirth." Xiao Jinxing interjected.
An Ning glared at him displeased.
"I’ll eat it." Xiao Jinxing changed his statement directly.
Ping Gonggong couldn’t help but chuckle.
Since when did His Majesty become such a "little wife," when he usually showed such overwhelming dominance battling ministers in court?
In front of the Empress, the difference was like night and day.
"Why are you laughing?!" An Ning frowned at Ping Gonggong’s expression.
Feeling inexplicably like this master and servant are truly in cahoots.
"I deserve death, I shouldn’t be laughing, please punish me, Empress!" Ping Gonggong hurriedly knelt on the ground.
An Ning was speechless.
Did she say she would punish anyone?!
She doesn’t have a penchant for tormenting people.
"I was merely asking why you laughed just now, not saying you shouldn’t laugh." An Ning patiently replied.
"I was just..."
"Just what?"
Ping Gonggong steeled himself, "I was just happy to see His Majesty treating Empress so well."
An Ning rolled her eyes. What’s there to be happy about for you?
"Madam, you don’t know, today His Majesty prepared the fireflies and iron flowers for you for surprise, secretly set up a month ago, to surprise Madam." Ping Gonggong mustered courage and continued.
An Ning pressed her lips.
Xiao Jinxing...was so thoughtful?!
Indeed, with so many fireflies, even though Xiao Jinxing had power, it takes time; it wouldn’t have been possible to catch so many in a day or two. The fact is she often walks around the palace at night and hasn’t seen any fireflies. Xiao Jinxing must have put great effort into hiding them.
"I’ve been with His Majesty for five years and never seen His Majesty caring so much about anyone except you, Madam. Not only tonight’s surprise, but today’s enthronement ceremony was all personally overseen by His Majesty, even your Empress dress and Phoenix Crown were meticulously tailored by Daxuan Kingdom’s finest, under His Majesty’s supervision. Everything he did was hoping to win Empress’s smile." Ping Gonggong spoke more passionately.
Listening, An Ning felt unsure inside.
She turned to look at Xiao Jinxing.
Xiao Jinxing was already steadily eating the lotus seed soup.
Feeling An Ning’s gaze.
Xiao Jinxing quickly explained, "I didn’t tell him to say that."
Your servant, without your permission, dares to speak so boldly?!
Xiao Jinxing’s eyes flickered.
He lowered his head, continuing to eat the lotus seed soup.
"The fireflies and iron flowers were indeed pretty." An Ning suddenly commented.
For people in ancient times to have such romance, is truly not easy.
The person eating lotus seed soup couldn’t help but have his lips curve up.
Ping Gonggong also showed a maternal smile.
If he could facilitate the emperor and empress’s harmonization, he would feel a sense of achievement eternally.
He’s been unable to bear seeing the emperor’s constant loneliness and coldness in Qiankun Hall.
"I just don’t like them much." An Ning added.
"..." The corner of someone’s mouth stiffened.
"..." The corner of a certain eunuch’s mouth also stiffened.
The Empress doesn’t mix words when hitting hard.
"But it’s not completely wasted. I saw the concubines in the harem all came out, they seemed quite delighted." An Ning, sensing both of their emotions, said indifferently, "I don’t like it, but your little wives do, so it’s worth it."
"..." What do you mean by little wives?!
Those are clearly the emperor’s concubines, though in name only, they are still figures in the harem.
Being described by the Empress like that makes them feel somewhat improper.
"Do you mind their existence?" Xiao Jinxing pretended to be calm.
"Don’t start imagining things, I don’t mind at all." An Ning immediately clarified, "On the contrary, I think they’re quite pitiful, entering the palace only to live a widow’s life."
"So, you’re hoping I would favor them?"
"Isn’t that your duty?" An Ning smiled charmingly, "The Emperor should sow his seeds across the lands, waiting for a harvest."
"My seeds can only flourish in your fertile soil."
"..."
Ping Gonggong felt he should take this moment to tactfully retreat.
