Xiao Wangye's Beloved Wife

Chapter 63. The Legendary Sword Xiao Muqing

The day went by quickly, the entire Empire was already adorned with lights and other pretty decorations. White snow spread widely, they looked soft and adorable. Many small children were playing around outside while carrying Tangghulu sweets.

Huang Mingxiang, that woman was still preparing to wear her dongker blue hanfu. Her hair was half-welded, the Phoenix hairpick ornament perched nicely. Not forgetting that the woman was wearing the necklace that Xiao Muqing had given her, as a sign that she was the Madam of the big house of Xiao Wangfu, Xiao Wangfei.

Su Mama smiled deeply as soon as she finished giving the final polish on Huang Mingxiang's lips, while Yui was busy tidying up Huang Mingxiang's dresser again.

Huang Mingxiang stood up, then started walking out of his room. Outside there was Xiao Muqing and Gu Sinjie waiting, Xiao Muqing did not come, she just escorted until Xiao Wangfu's gate. But Gu Sinjie was assigned to escort Huang Mingxiang personally to the Palace.

"It." Xiao Muqing handed over the sword wrapped by the dragon-pictured sword sheath. Huang Mingxiang recognized this sword, this sword was the legendary sword belonging to Xiao Muqing. In the past if someone was talking about Xiao Muqing, then this sword was also revealed. This sword had been attached and accompanied Xiao Muqing since the first start of the man's work, but after the tragedy that befell Xiao Muqing's feet, the popularity of this sword decreased. Xiao Muqing never again plunged into a great battle, making this sword almost lose its function and just become a display.

"Wangye, but in a big celebration like this the Palace would definitely not allow invited guests to-" Unfinished Huang Mingxiang spoke, Xiao Muqing had already instantly cut in quickly.

"No matter. Benwang had carried a gun in the celebrations before, no one dared to forbid."

Huang Mingxiang was silent, thinking for a moment. But before long smiling lips, he had a good idea. Huang Mingxiang looked back at Xiao Muqing nodding. "Alright, thank you very much, Wangye."

Xiao Muqing realized Huang Mingxiang's sly smile, he knew what the woman was thinking, but was in no mood to kidnap her.

After three to five farewell sentences, Huang Mingxiang finally rushed up into his carriage. Huang Mingxiang's entourage slowly went away, leaving Xiao Muqing with another male servant Xiao Wangfu.

Huang Mingxiang continuously stared at Xiao Muqing's sword, it felt so heavy, he was a little wonder why Xiao Muqing used to be able to carry it wherever the man went.

After feeling quite tired in the car, before long the carriage stopped. The door of the horse carriage opened, Yui reached out to help Huang Mingxiang.

Huang Mingxiang replied to Yui's hand, the woman dismounted from the horse carriage carefully. Huang Mingxiang's eyes swept across the entire span of the Palace grounds, desolate. It seemed like the event had already begun, Huang Mingxiang had expected that he would be a few minutes late.

Huang Mingxiang stepped his feet steadily after Yui and Su Mama tidied up his clothes, Gu Sinjie was seen walking on the left side which slightly jutted to the back of Huang Mingxiang. Xiao Muqing's sword he placed in the middle of his body, his figure now looked extremely elegant. This was Huang Mingxiang's first appearance that truly looked like a Wangfei from Wangye the owner of five hundred thousand Imperial troops. In the middle of the road, Yui unwittingly disappears, out of nowhere the woman goes.

The young eunuch of the doorkeeper was startled when he saw the presence of Huang Mingxiang carrying Xiao Muqing's legendary sword, The young eunuch hurriedly bowed deeply as he announced Huang Mingxiang's arrival very loudly.

"Honorably, Xiao Wangfei Niangniang entered the room!!"

The entire invited guests stood up, turned their heads towards the door and immediately bowed towards Huang Mingxiang. Their eyes noticed the three items attached to Huang Mingxiang's body, the pomegranate red stone necklace, the plain ring that coiled on Huang Mingxiang's ring finger, although it looks plain anyone can know that the ring was made using the 'body part' of its own maker. Because those who had a high martial arts understanding could feel the aura of Xiao Muqing's presence very strongly. Then last was the legendary sword Xiao Muqing wielded by Huang Mingxiang, they fussed the most about this thing.

Rong Wangxia stared at Huang Mingxiang's presence inside, his lips could not help but smile. Huang Mingxiang looked extremely beautiful tonight in his eyes. As well as Xiao Jihuang, the man sat at the main table of this event, his eyes staring at the figure of Huang Mingxiang fixedly. Wu Zeyuan was aware of Xiao Jihuang's gaze, but just kept trying to smile and did nothing. As for Huang Liyue, that woman from the very beginning even before the arrival of Huang Mingxiang was already in a bad mood position. Since Wu Zeyuan was allowed to sit one table with Xiao Jihuang, making the Emperor's official companion at today's event there were three people, while according to the rules only allowed two people. Imagining a sentence like "The Emperor loved Wu Guifei so much that he was willing to break the rules of the Palace" was enough to make Huang Liyue burn jealous. Meanwhile Rong Xuan, he hadn't said much since the beginning of the event. The look on his face was indifferent, not as usual.

"This wangfei gives greetings to his Majesty the Emperor and Huangtaihou Niangniang, the glory of the Eastern Empire is in the noble second hand." Huang Mingxiang bowed towards Xiao Jihuang, next towards Huangtaihou.

Huangtaihou smiled at Huang Mingxiang's presence, then hurriedly asked Huang Mingxiang to immediately get up and sit down at his desk.

"Thank you very much, Auntie. Your face looks much more radiant today, Mingxiang hope aunt is always happy," Huang Mingxiang said, his lips smiling sincerely towards Huangtaihou. He slightly missed Huangtaihou terribly.

"Mingxiang was good at praising and saying sweet things, always making Aija blush! Aiya, that's-already. Immediately sit down and enjoy the snack," Huangtaihou replied, he was actually a little distracted by the sword Huang Mingxiang had brought. But, Huangtaihou could not comment on anything to ban. First, the sword was a gift from her late Emperor husband and allowed the sword to enter into official events or celebrations, as the previous Emperor was very fond of Xiao Muqing. Seeing that his brother liked the sword so much, the late Emperor gave special access to the sword. Second, because he loved Huang Mingxiang. If he forbade the sword from entering, it would be the same as making things difficult for his own beloved niece.

There had not been two minutes Huang Mingxiang sat down, Huang Liyue who had indeed from the beginning had already held a grudge to Huang Mingxiang directly immediately shot a bullet attack for his younger brother. "Xiao Wangfei, have you really read the Palace invitation I made well?"

Huang Mingxiang smiled faintly, struck. By carrying this striking sword, it was certain that Huang Liyue would mindlessly attack him. The woman did not seem to know that this sword had special access to be wherever she wanted, the foolish woman.

Xiao Jihuang frowned when she heard Huang Liyue's sentence, she immediately turned her head and looked at Huang Liyue sharply. This was the first time Xiao Jihuang shot a blatantly displeased look at her concubine before the entire invited guests. This was enough to prove that the sentence spoken by Huang Liyue was a fatal mistake. The presence of this sword was equivalent to Xiao Muqing's presence, so to offend her presence, was the same as offending Xiao Muqing's presence. Hearing Huang Liyue back flanking Huang Mingxiang with that sword, Xiao Jihuang could not help but grow angry at the woman. The punishment of the matter a few days ago had not been completed, yet Huang Liyue had already returned to acting foolishly.

Huang Mingxiang raised his left eyebrow at a glance. "Huang Guifei, are you talking to this Wangfei?"

Huang Liyue frowned. "Xiao Wangfei, you are even still stalling the conversation? All the invited guests here witnessed your misdeeds!"

The story of Xiao Muqing's sword was indeed widely known by all people, but only certain elite nobles knew of such special access. Huang Mingxiang knew because he often went out and entered the Palace, joining other important nobles with Huangtaihou. While Huang Liyue, he rarely set foot in the Palace and was as active as the noble lady in general. They are both different, even though they come from the same house.

"Can you repeat what you said?" huang Mingxiang asked, his lips grinning faintly looking at Huang Liyue full of contempt.

Huang Liyue clenched his hands together, his countenance looking angry, yet still trying to look elegant. At the moment Huang Liyue was acting as if he was a good show host, considering he was the 'face' at the celebration party this time because he was the one who composed it all.

"I say that you have violated the rules clearly stated in the invitation letter, it is forbidden to bring sharp weapons into the Palace. But your class should know the little rules without reading the rules in the letter, this already shows that you are a random person, Xiao Wangfei." Huang Liyue stared intently at Huang Mingxiang, making Huangtaihou growled and unable to accept. Wu Zeyuan just smiled faintly, while Rong Xuan frowned and cursed at Huang Liyue's fool.

"Incretentious!" Xiao Jihuang made a sound as Huangtaihou was about to open his mouth to defend Huang Mingxiang. The entire gaze was now staring at Xiao Jihuang, not least Huang Mingxiang.

Huang Liyue smiled happily, he thought that Xiao Jihuang agreed with his actions. Huang Liyue did not feel anything wrong at all in his actions this time.

"Huang Guifei, you really made the Harem Emperor's face look ridiculous!" Huangtaihou stared intently at Huang Liyue, making a happy smile for the woman to disappear.

What was? Why were they all suddenly staring at him? What's wrong? Wasn't Huang Liyue right? He reprimanded Huang Mingxiang who broke the rules, bringing sharp weapons into the Palace celebration was indeed always forbidden. Then what's wrong?!

"Now also kneel down and apologize to Xiao Wangfei!" Huangtaihou's tone was cold, women were not at all happy with Huang Liyue.

Huang Liyue quickly looked at the Emperor, then shifted his gaze towards Rong Xuan for help. But nil, the two people took their eyes off her.

"Huang Guifei! Is Aija not honorable enough to rule you?!" Huangtaihou snapped, making Huang Liyue's body tremble in fear. Plus at this moment the entire eye was looking at him with contempt, making Huang Liyue simply not have the face to straighten his head!

Huang Liyue unwillingly stood up, then walked closer towards Huang Mingxiang and bowed deeply. But, Huangtaihou's voice again snapped. "Kneel! You are so embarrassing!"

Huang Liyue was stunned, his eyes staring hatefully and grudgingly at Huang Mingxiang, then immediately kneeling towards Huang Mingxiang. His body was trembling with anger, Huang Liyue wanted to pull Huang Mingxiang's hair right now.

Huang Mingxiang smiled in satisfaction, Huang Liyue really looks stupid at the moment. Recalling himself having once died silly at the hands of Huang Liyue, made Huang Mingxiang feel disgusted. This time Huang Mingxiang was really going to make Huang Liyue pay for everything.

"You knelt down for no reason, Huang Guifei. Do you know why you're apologizing?" huang Mingxiang asked, making the atmosphere grow quieter.

Huang Liyue bit his deep lip, damn it. He doesn't know anything! What's actually going on? Does the sword have anything special? But what?!

"The sword belonged to Xiao Wangye who was given by the late Emperor before, then the sword also had special access from the previous late Emperor because the late Emperor was very fond of Xiao Wangye as his only and youngest brother. The sword was allowed to be present at any celebratory event, even the important meetings of the Imperial officials though. The presence of the sword was the same as the presence of Xiao Wangye, meaning .. offending the presence of the sword, was the same as offending your presence. Your sharp sentence for the sword is the same as driving Xiao Wangye out of this celebration, Huang Guifei." Wu Zeyuan spoke up, telling Huang Liyue where his mistake lay.

Huang Liyue widened his eyes, he was still kneeling. Crazy thing, how did he know there was such a story?! Huang Liyue was really angry! Did Huang Mingxiang deliberately take advantage of this ignorance of his?!

"Already, enough. This wangfei will not raise the matter any further on a good day like this." Huang Mingxiang deliberately sighed, then placed his palm over his chest, displaying a look of tired and sad face. Makes anyone who sees it feel sorry.

Huang Liyue quickly stood up, his eyes staring intently at Huang Mingxiang. "Thank you very much, Xiao Wangfei. In the future this concubine will learn to be careful."

Huang Mingxiang gave a faint grin. "It should be, Huang Guifei."

Huang Liyue clenched both of his hands silently, then walked back to his desk.

"Well, what if we all drink wine now? Today Zhen had prepared a wine of high quality specially for the honored invited guests!" Xiao Jihuang smiled, trying to melt the atmosphere back.

The servants entered, starting to hand out the glasses to the invited guests. Huang Mingxiang looked at the wine that was inside his glass, smiling. This smile of his was captured by Rong Wangxia's eyes, the man had never shifted his gaze since.

Huang Liyue received his wine glass, his hard face now softened even more. His eyes stared at the cunning of his glass, then turned to Huang Mingxiang.
