The Next Of Phoenix
Chapters 37. A date?

Xiao Mingyui and Xiao Jiwang had returned to Xiao Wangfu. Xiao Mingyui was inside his room, staring at Xiao Jiwang who was standing outside, right in front of his bedroom window.

Xiao Mingyui bowed towards Xiao Jiwang. "Thank you very much, because your majesty has been willing to accompany me for fun."

Xiao Jiwang nodded briefly. "Yes." Yeah."

Xiao Mingyui stood up straight again, her lips smiling. Before long, his hands began to untie the mask and show his face thoroughly back.

"Before his majesty leaves, there is something he wants to ask," Xiao Mingyui said.

Xiao Jiwang nodded again. "Say." Both of his eyes stared into Xiao Mingyui's face.

"Are you happy spending time with me?" xiao Mingyui asked, he wanted to make sure that Xiao Jiwang was not forced to accompany him.

Xiao Jiwang still stared flatly at Xiao Mingyui, then the man turned around and before jumping away, he slightly turned his head and said, "A little."

Xiao Mingyui smiled at Xiao Jiwang's reply, the woman's cheeks slightly reddened. Xiao Mingyui quickly closed the window of her room as soon as Xiao Jiwang left, she put down the items she bought and went to sleep.

Tonight was quiet as usual, but .. the heartbeat and the rush of warm blood made each of them different. A faint smile appeared on Xiao Mingyui's face, this time his smile looked sincere.

Xiao Jiwang was now in his palace residence, the man immediately threw his body onto the mattress and stared at the ceiling of the room sharply.

"How can ... have such beautiful eyes? Since when does he have it?" xiao Jiwang muttered as he recalled Xiao Mingyui's figure at the festival market tonight. The woman smiled and asked about her appearance while mentioning Xiao Jiwang's name directly. Both of Xiao Mingyui's bright blue eyes - exactly the inheritance of his father's genes - actually made Xiao Jiwang daze for a moment. The eyes look very beautiful, and the beauty continues to grow if you are at night.

"Your Majesty, I am Chen Qi."

Chen Qi's voice from outside rang out, making Xiao Jiwang turn his head and reply indifferently without rising from his lying position. "Lake in."

The door of Xiao Jiwang's room opened, featuring Chen Qi entering with a bright smiling face. The man bowed briefly. "Greetings, your honor."

"What else is it?" xiao Jiwang asked, his eyes glanced at the strange Chen Qi as the man smiled like a madman.

"Your majesty, is the woman you were with Princess Mingyui?" asked Chen Qi.

Xiao Jiwang clucked in annoyance. "Ck, if you're here just to discuss this, better get out."

Chen Qi chuckled. "Aish .. no, not just this. But one of them is this."

"Then get straight to the most important topic."

"I'll tell you after you answer." Chen Qi smiled mischievously.

Xiao Jiwang exhaled an annoyed breath. "Yes, that's it."

Chen Qi laughed. "Jeez .. I guessed it! You two must be dating!"

Xiao Jiwang stared intently at Chen Qi. "I'm not dating her, Chen Qi."

"No dating? Your Excellency, going alone while enjoying the festival atmosphere with a happy smile and laughter is a date! Come ... Why are you so reluctant to be honest?" chen Qi asked, then exhaled heavily.

"It's really like that?" xiao Jiwang asked, the man quickly took a sitting position and looked at Chen Qi.

"Yes, your honor. Usually women in the class of Mingyui princess will not want to be invited to date just any man, this proves that Mingyui princess seems to love you."

Xiao Jiwang frowned. "No, it doesn't seem like it. I went there with him because of debt. Not a date, Chen Qi."

"Ck, your majesty, what if princess Mingyui considers this more than a debt? Your journey is both based on debt, but .. do you know the thoughts or feelings of Princess Mingyui after undergoing the 'date? Didn't you see any strange things or movements from princess Mingyui? Like her flushed face or her nervous-looking movements maybe?"

Xiao Jiwang pondered, trying to remember. Shortly afterwards he looked back at Chen Qi seriously. "There's."

"What's that?"

"He ... tonight smiled more," replied Xiao Jiwang, his forehead folded, his countenance looking annoyed even though his face was slightly reddened.

Chen Qi was stunned at this expression of Xiao Jiwang, he had never seen his master become embarrassed like this! Holy hooch!

Chen Qi smiled stiffly. "A--ah .. that must be because princess Mingyui blushed near you! Women who like men usually tend to be shy when they are near them."

Xiao Jiwang was still the same face, the man then stood up while rubbing his head in frustration. "I'm sick of talking about this."

Chen Qi raised his left eyebrow briefly. "What's wrong? Why do you hate him?"

Xiao Jiwang walked towards the window of his room, then stared intently at the moon in the sky. "I just feel agitated and angry every time I think of that woman."

"Angoing and angry?"

Xiao Jiwang nodded. "As if there are two opinions in my head."

Chen Qi was stunned, the man immediately walked up to Xiao Jiwang while saying, "Are you loving or starting to be attracted to princess Mingyui? It could be like that, your majesty. But your heart still hesitates and continues to resist. Maybe .... In the future you can be honest a little?"

Xiao Jiwang smiled coldly. "I once explained the topic of a dead heart, but he answered with an answer that made me more agitated."

"What's that?"

"He said the issue was not about dead hearts, but how much he tried to love each other. Damn, I was really bothered by that sentence. Tonight I'm willing to pick her up for the mask festival just to make sure what's up with myself. I'm not sure the source of this unease came from Xiao Mingyui, but .. after meeting her face to face the unease grew even more." Xiao Jiwang tried to tell Chen Qi all the things he felt.

Chen Qi nodded in understanding after Xiao Jiwang finished speaking. "So, princess Mingyui brought up the topic about it? Your Highness, it seems that princess Mingyui sincerely wants to build a harmonious relationship with you as a couple. Political marriage is carried out without love, but ..all women must still expect the marriage to run peacefully and happily, even though it is based on politics. After all every woman wants a happy home and warm love."

Xiao Jiwang did not reply, the man listened to Chen Qi's every sentence and thought about it. The tightness from anxiety really made his mind go awry.

"What's the next important topic? Don't waste any time," Xiao Jiwang asked, then turned his head towards Chen Qi.

Chen Qi's facial wrinkle turned serious, the smile on his face was gone. It seems like this is a topic related to work.

"Regarding the upcoming envoys from the Western Empire and the Southeast Huan Kingdom, they both sent an Imperial princess. When you want to meet the Emperor to submit the report you gave, his Majesty advised that you arrange for the escort of the Princess from the Capital gate to the Palace," Chen Qi replied.

Xiao Jiwang nodded briefly. "It's an easy affair. Anything else?"

Chen Qi shook his head. "Nothing, the rest is safe. The welcoming of the Western Empire envoy this time was taken care of by Lu Fei Niangniang, should I propose to him that Princess Mingyui's seat be next to yours?"

Xiao Jiwang thought for a moment, then nodded. "Yes." Yeah."
