"You're the only human who dares to touch the head of the benwang without permission" Xiao Muqing said as he stuffed the piece of the bakpao into his mouth.
Huang Mingxiang smiled. "And Wangye was the first person that Mingxiang personally combed."
"Your brain is broken, huh?" xiao Muqing replied scathingly, making Huang Mingxiang's smile and annoyance grow at the same time. He must be patient, must not pull the hair of an uncle from an Emperor.
"Wangye, do you want to go around Wangfu? While passing through the orchard near the western pavilion, Mingxiang saw that the fruit had already matured a lot, ready for harvest." Huang Mingxiang chose not to respond, he switched to changing the topic of their conversation.
Not yet Xiao Muqing replied, Huang Mingxiang has already returned to talk. "Wangye, where's your hair oil?"
"Table," Xiao Muqing replied, again upsetting Huang Mingxiang. With so many tables in this room, the man never gave a definitive answer correctly.
Huang Mingxiang turned around, then traced the entire table with his eyes. As soon as he saw the bottle of hair oil on the table near the mattress, the woman rushed to pick it up. Soon he came back to Xiao Muqing, poured some hair oil into his palm and slowly dabbed it in Xiao Muqing's fine black hair.
"How's Wangye, you want to see his garden?" huang Mingxiang asked, now that he had finished smothering the hair oil, next switched to squatting in front of Xiao Muqing's wheelchair.
Xiao Muqing looked at Huang Mingxiang's face, this was the first time he had such a close distance to a woman after three years of never appearing to the surface.
"Seeing you just shut up and staring at me, then I assume Wangye's answer is yes." Huang Mingxiang then stood up, then walked to the back of the wheelchair and began to push him slowly.
The servants who saw this were surprised, they had never imagined this appearance at all. After the calamity that hit their Wangye feet, they all believed it would be difficult to get a sincere woman for their Wangye. But after Huang Mingxiang's arrival, their worry subsided.
Huang Mingxiang continued to push Xiao Muqing's wheelchair towards the garden in the western pavilion, as soon as it arrived, the view of the fresh greenery with ripe fruit each was very soothing to the view. Plus the fresh air in the morning adds to Huang Mingxiang's fresh mood. The bad feeling due to Xiao Muqing's sharp words earlier was gradually gone.
"Wangye, the waiter here is very dexterous. They grow fruits of excellent quality, if sold in the market the price will be very high." Huang Mingxiang walked towards the vine, leaving Xiao Muqing behind who was paying attention one by one to the plants. He had not visited his own Wangfu orchard for a long time.
Soon Huang Mingxiang returned with two ripe grapes, then gave one to Xiao Muqing.
"You have to try this, it tastes much sweeter and tastier when just picked like this," Huang Mingxiang said.
Xiao Muqing hesitantly took the grapes Huang Mingxiang had given him, then put them in his mouth. However, before long Xiao Muqing's forehead shriveled.
"Huang Mingxiang!" Xiao Muqing exclaimed loudly, making the few maids who heard this startled instead of playing and immediately stared towards them.
Huang Mingxiang laughed, he deliberately gave the sour grapes to Xiao Muqing.
"I'm sorry Mingxiang, Wangye. Mingxiang thinks you can tell the difference between a fruit that is completely ripe and not yet." Then Huang Mingxiang laughed again, Xiao Muqing's sour-restrained expression was very funny.
Xiao Muqing snorted in annoyance, then his right index finger pointed at one of the immature grapes, then quickly the grapes flew into Huang Mingxiang's mouth forcefully.
Huang Mingxiang was startled, then spontaneously chewed on the grapes. Quickly, his laughter stopped and turned into a thousand languages silent because of the sour feeling.
Seeing the cute facial features of Huang Mingxiang, Xiao Muqing involuntarily smiled faintly in satisfaction. He countered Huang Mingxiang's actions, after which reversed the direction of his wheelchair and left Huang Mingxiang.
"Damn it, how big was that man's martial arts to be able to use this kind of power?" murmured Huang Mingxiang, then melted the sour wine earlier.
"Yeez! Wait me!" Huang Mingxiang shouted, then ran after Xiao Muqing.
Huang Mingxiang widened his eyes, then increased his speed to be able to grab Xiao Muqing.
The splash!
The arrow shot rapidly towards Xiao Muqing, coinciding with that, Huang Mingxiang managed to grab Xiao Muqing and hug the man.
"Guene!"
Huang Mingxiang closed his eyes tightly, preparing to receive the arrow shot on his back. However, for quite a long time he hugged Xiao Muqing, the arrow did not stick on his back.
Huang Mingxiang tried to turn his head, he was shocked when he saw Xiao Muqing holding the arrow with his palm that released strength in forming a shield that surrounded them.
"This-"
"Silent. Stay there." Xiao Muqing said coldly, making Huang Mingxiang not dare to refute and again put his head on Xiao Muqing's shoulder.
Soon, out of nowhere, another black shadow emerged from the roofs of the buildings. It seemed like they were Xiao Muqing's people, as they were trying to attack the black shadow that had shot an arrow at them.
Xiao Muqing removed the shield he had formed, then glanced at Huang Mingxiang who had hugged him to this point.
"Now we're back." Xiao Muqing's voice noticed Huang Mingxiang, making the woman quickly let go of her embrace without saying much and pushed the wheelchair quickly towards Xiao Muqing's room. Secretly, Huang Mingxiang's ears reddened.
This time they were in Xiao Muqing's study, the two of them were sitting opposite. Huang Mingxiang was still somewhat shocked because of the incident earlier, he was surprised that assassins were always coming, and. Although Huang Mingxiang did indeed want to take Xiao Muqing's trust, but there was no need to come up with such a sacrifice.
"Yeez! Wangfei!" Gu Sinjie's gasping voice sounded.
Gu Sinjie entered without knocking, the man seemed to be in a panic upon hearing the news of a killer eyeing Xiao Muqing coming back.
"What ... are the two noble ones alright? Jesus ... When did the killers stop?" gu Sinjie asked as he continued to catch his breath.
"Young." Huang Mingxiang looked at Xiao Muqing, he wanted to ask her something.
"What keeps the murderers coming? What are they looking for from you? Haven't you been showing up to the social environment for a long time?" Huang Mingxiang directly threw a question as soon as Xiao Muqing looked at him.
Gu Sinjie who heard Huang Mingxiang's question immediately replied in place of Xiao Muqing. "That's because of Xiao Wangye's great military power. Many nobles are after that, especially the nobles who rule the border and the members of the kingdom."
Huang Mingxiang raised his left eyebrow. "The nobles? Didn't they have the right to obtain Wangye's military power even though Wangye was gone?"
Gu Sinjie shook his head. "The strength Wangye exerted from the late Emperor was the result of attracting power belonging to nobles who had status in the military world. If Wangye is gone, then the military power will be divided equally or even the Emperor himself who keeps it."
Huang Mingxiang nodded in understanding, then he quietly sighed. Either this power is good or not, because he carries both of them. It was good that it could be the basis of strength as well for Huang Mingxiang as Xiao Muqing's wife, not because she would never live quietly due to being terrorized by assassins.
Putting aside that thought, Huang Mingxiang chose to forget about it and was determined to continue being patient. Huang Mingxiang smiled faintly towards Xiao Muqing. "Wangye, do you want to drink something?"
Xiao Muqing shook his head, then glanced at Gu Sinjie and said, "Get out. Tell the waiter to bring you some warm tea." After that his eyes turned to look at Huang Mingxiang. "You stay there."
