Xiao Wangye's Beloved Wife

Chapter 5. Bakpao For Xiao Wangye

The next morning, Huang Mingxiang had already woken up sooner than usual. The woman assisted Su Mama, putting on herself as beautiful as possible.

"Aiya, Wangfei .. You are so beautiful, Wangye must have been moved." Su Mama could not stop praising him, the old woman continuously smiled warmly motherly looking at Huang Mingxiang .

Huang Mingxiang only smiled faintly in response to the swift praise from Su Mama, after taking so much time just to make up, Huang Mingxiang was finally ready.

Huang Mingxiang walked quickly towards Xiao Muqing's residence, accompanied by Su Mama who continued to follow.

When he got there, Huang Mingxiang directly entered without asking allowed or not. The woman walked in with a bright smile like blue in her Hanfu.

"Wangye, Mingxiang saluted." Huang Mingxiang bowed, then immediately stood straight back up when he saw Xiao Muqing nod.

Huang Mingxiang looked at the three maids who were busy washing Xiao Muqing's feet, Gu Sinjie who noticed this immediately coughed softly and said, "You can all stop and come back, but leave the bucket and the wet cloth."

The three female servants immediately left their jobs, Gu Sinjie went along with the servants earlier and closed the door of Xiao Muqing's room tightly.

Huang Mingxiang walked over, then sat down on the small chair that was near Xiao Muqing's feet, began to take a lap and throw it into the bucket of warm water. After being squeezed, gently Huang Mingxiang began to wash away Xiao Muqing's two legs.

"Wangye, did you have breakfast this morning?"

"Not yet."

"Yet? How could the kitchen be late to deliver food for you?" Huang Mingxiang frowned, he was surprised that Xiao Muqing had yet to have breakfast.

"No. It's just not time yet." Xiao Muqing continued to reply indifferently, but his eyes focused on watching Huang Mingxiang washing his feet.

Huang Mingxiang nodded. "Mingxiang understands, you have the same habits as the late Emperor."

"You close to dad?" Xiao Muqing frowned.

Huang Mingxiang nodded, then looked up to look at Xiao Muqing. "Of course, this is because aunts often invite Mingxiang to the Palace." Hearing this, Xiao Muqing simply replied a short 'oh', after which saying nothing more, making the atmosphere awkward.

"Well, Wangye. Your feet are done Mingxiang wash. Oh, yes ... By the way, what do you like most about the Palace?" huang Mingxiang asked to melt the atmosphere.

"none. Benwang loved Wangfu benwang himself," Xiao Muqing replied, making Huang Mingxiang's smile even more stiff.

When Huang Mingxiang was about to open his mouth again, suddenly a servant came and said, "Your highness, your breakfast is ready."

Hearing that, Huang Mingxiang hurried to his feet as he exclaimed, "Let me help Wangye."

"Young." Huang Mingxiang bowed slightly to ask for permission, then carefully held onto Xiao Muqing's arm. With his own manpower and effort, Huang Mingxiang moved Xiao Muqing into a wheelchair.

The servants who saw Huang Mingxiang serving their Wangye sincerely could not help but smile seeing this. Their dislike for Huang Mingxiang slowly faded after hearing the rumor that the accusations against Huang Mingxiang were not true. Either they knew where this was from, perhaps eavesdropping on the conversation he had with Xiao Muqing last night.

Huang Mingxiang pushed Xiao Muqing's wheelchair onto the dining table, then while about to take the chopsticks, Xiao Muqing held his hand. "Benwang can eat alone."

Huang Mingxiang who heard this smiled widely, he was too excited to the point of exaggerating.

"Accept ...."

Huang Mingxiang handed the wooden chopsticks over to Xiao Muqing, then turned to pouring the warm tea into the cup. Once knowing that it was green tea, Huang Mingxiang was slightly surprised. It seems like he now has a trauma to green tea.

Xiao Muqing who noticed Huang Mingxiang's shock as she poured tea for him did not ask anything, only paying attention.

Huang Mingxiang tried to calm himself down, then put the teapot made of expensive porcelain glass back on the table.

To shift his mind, Huang Mingxiang looked back at Xiao Muqing who was now busy chewing her breakfast.

"Do you like bakpao?" asked Huang Mingxiang.

Xiao Muqing who heard this shook his head. "No."

"Benwang has already forgotten what it feels like," Xiao Muqing replied.

Huang Mingxiang who heard this nodded. "Well, then what if Mingxiang makes it? Wangye will be able to remember the taste of returning."

"Whatever."

Hearing the indifferent and infuriating reply from Xiao Muqing, did not make Huang Mingxiang's spirit decrease. Huang Mingxiang stood up, then said, "Wangye, Mingxiang will return and bring the bakpao to Wangye."

Xiao Muqing only nodded briefly, not caring too much for Huang Mingxiang.

After Huang Mingxiang left, Gu Sinjie walked in and bowed. "Young."

"How's it?" xiao Muqing asked, the man asked as he continued to eat his breakfast.

"Wangfei is clean, Wangye. He was sent here without any intention from the court, and .. Rumors about him tempting the Emperor, it was wrong. Huang Liyue, his own elder sister who slandered him," Gu Sinjie replied, relaying all the reports he had.

Xiao Muqing nodded briefly, then did not ask again. But the topic did not break up until there, because Gu Sinjie spoke again. "Wangfei can be said to be great, he managed to escape the attack of the killer. And it seems that your estimation that Wangfei would kill himself is wrong, quite the opposite now. Wangye, isn't it as good as-"

"Your report is enough, Sinjie. Now go back to military headquarters, do your job as usual." Xiao Muqing cut off Gu Sinjie's talk, making Gu Sinjie snort thinly.

"Alright, Wangye. This subordinate is resigned retreat."

Meanwhile in the kitchen, the entire maidservant was muddled due to Huang Mingxiang's sudden arrival.

"Wangfei, you can leave this menial work to us. No need to dirty your hands or your clothes." One of the servants begged Huang Mingxiang.

Huang Mingxiang shook his head. "I want to make a bakpao personally for Wangye. Although I'm not very good at cooking, you guys are willing to help me, right?"

Su Mama who became one of the servants who tried to stop Huang Mingxiang nodded. "Of course, Wangfei. But you better not-"

"I'm fine doing this, Wangye has also allowed me!" Huang Mingxiang frowned in annoyance, come on .. he just wanted to cook. Although the ability is not arguably great, but also not too bad. As a child, Huang Mingxiang often noticed the kitchen waitress in Huang Fu because she often went back and forth to ask for snacks.

"I'll make the dough, but .. can you help me light a fire? I don't really understand how, please teach me," Huan Mingxiang said after the kitchen had calmed down enough.

Huang Mingxiang was busy cooking in the kitchen for Xiao Muqing, until finally two hours passed. The bakpao he had made with the servant had managed to mature perfectly, Huang Mingxiang's lips could not help but smile, as well as the other servants.

Huang Mingxiang put the bakpao into the container, then handed it to Su Mama. "Mama, let's go back to the residence for a while to clean up my appearance. After that we go back to Wangye."

"Good!" Su Mama exclaimed, she looks very happy.

Huang Mingxiang quickly cleared his appearance, becoming tidy again, just like before he entered the kitchen. After she was ready, the woman again walked towards Xiao Muqing's residence.

Upon arriving there, Huang Mingxiang saw that Xiao Muqing had already changed into clothes. The man's hair was still wet, in his right hand was a book that Huang Mingxiang did not care what it was.

"Young." Huang Mingxiang smiled broadly towards Xiao Muqing, making Xiao Muqing turn her gaze to Huang Mingxiang for a moment, then return again to the book.

"Look at this, the bakpao that Mingxiang made himself had come to be. You should try it." Huang Mingxiang opened the lid of his bakpao container, then thrust it towards Xiao Muqing.

Xiao Muqing noticed the bakpao made by Huang Mingxiang, then picked it up one fruit. The man didn't eat it right away, but watched him first.

"How much fuss in the kitchen did you create to make this?" xiao Muqing said, making Huang Mingxiang roll his eyes lazily. He thought Xiao Muqing was talking to praise him earlier.

Huang Mingxiang stood up, then walked over to one of the tables present in Xiao Muqing's room and took out a comb. The woman again walked towards Xiao Muqing, but this time stood right behind Xiao Muqing's wheelchair.

"The essence is not big enough to make this imperial capital collapse" Huang Mingxiang replied.

"Your hair hasn't been combed properly yet" Huang Mingxiang chimed in, then began to gently comb Xiao Muqing's hair.
