The Next Of Phoenix
Chapter 44. Strange Behaviour Xie Wanting


"Regardless of my yes or no answer, the fate of accompanying and loving the Crown Prince for life is an obligation. Likewise, if the Crown Prince has a concubine after the wedding, my obligation to accompany and love the Crown Prince will never be broken."


Xiao Mingyui recalled his answer to the question Lu Fenghua was asking. He was currently walking out of Lu Fenghua's residence Palace. After spending quite a long time there, Xiao Mingyui rushed home.


He decided to walk towards his horse carriage, automatically he had to pass through the main pavilion of the Palace. When Xiao Mingyui was about to pass through the main pavilion of the Palace, he saw Xiao Jiwang and princess Xie Wanting had just exited the pavilion and were now walking before him.


Their distance was not too close, making Xiao Jiwang unaware of Xiao Mingyui's presence after he exited the Pavilion with Xie Wanting.


Xiao Mingyui who saw the figure of Xiao Jiwang automatically bowed. "Your majesty."


Xiao Jiwang never turned his head, even after Xiao Mingyui re-enforced his body. However, while he was still watching the two of them, he saw Xie Wanting turn his head but not say anything to him or Xiao Jiwang. The woman looked back straight ahead, as if they had never seen each other before.


Xiao Mingyui raised his left eyebrow at a glance, his eye gaze cooling. He secretly began to feel uneasy with Xie Wanting's attitude, after all ...Where is Mo Wanwan? The Western Imperial envoy's daughter. Where is that woman? Why are there only two of them here?


Xiao Mingyui took a cold breath, then stepped up to approach them. After getting close, Xiao Mingyui grabbed onto Xiao Jiwang's clothing cloth.


"Your majesty."


Xiao Jiwang quickly turned his head, his eyes looking at Xiao Mingyui slightly surprised. "You're here?"


Xiao Mingyui glanced at Xie Wanting at a glance, the woman looked a little displeased. The look on his face said as if he was deeply troubled by Xiao Mingyui's presence.


Xiao Mingyui again bowed, her lips smiling faintly as if nothing had happened before. "Right, I just finished visiting Wu Guifei and Lu Fei niangniang."


Xiao Jiwang glanced at Xiao Mingyui's hair ornament, when he realized that the woman was not wearing the hairpick that he had bought, her facial features changed slightly.


"Uhuk .. noble, here it feels very cold ...." A weak and spoiled tone of speech sounded, making Xiao Mingyui shift her gaze back at Xie Wanting. Both of Xiao Mingyui's eyes flatly watched Xie Wanting.


Xiao Jiwang frowned, there was a look of discomfort in his eyes. The man turned his head and said, "I will escort you back personally to Xiao Wangfu, hence wait for me in the main pavilion. I'm gonna drop off Princess Xie Wanting first."


Xiao Mingyui nodded, she was a little perplexed when she heard Xiao Jiwang wanted to escort her personally. It was as if the man was deliberately speaking so as to have a reason to quickly walk away from something (?).


Xie Wanting looked at Xiao Mingyui coldly, Xiao Mingyui who realized Xie Wanting's gaze was completely undaunted. He actually felt funny because Xie Wanting gave him a strange behavior, even though they had never met at all other than yesterday's event.


After Xie Wanting bowed towards Xiao Mingyui and Xiao Mingyui bowed towards Xiao Jiwang, they separated. Xiao Mingyui walked towards the main pavilion calmly, while Bingbing looked extremely displeased.


"Your highness, did you notice the gaze and manner of the princess of the Southeast Huan kingdom?" bingbing asked, she looked even more annoyed than Xiao Mingyui.


Xiao Mingyui smiled faintly. "What's wrong with her?"


Bingbing grunting. "She's like a lowly seductress! Just look from the look in his eyes at you, completely disrespectful! Even if she is a princess, she is still far below you! Just a little princess yet looks so arrogant! What princess Feluan said was true!"


Xiao Mingyui chuckled. "Bingbing, calm yourself. Maybe the personality he has is like that, and maybe the way he looks at people is like that too. We can't just pass judgment on someone we just met once or twice."


Xiao Mingyui waited for Xiao Jiwang's arrival long enough, until the sky seemed to darken. Bingbing started getting more and more agitated, she was worried about her employer's feelings.


While Xiao Mingyui, he sat on the pavilion seat quietly. Seemed unconcerned even though he had waited long enough.


"Your Majesty, why hasn't the Crown Prince come?" ask Bingbing.


Xiao Mingyui smiled faintly. "Maybe he had an affair with the Emperor all of a sudden. We can't just leave because his highness has-"


"Princess Mingyui." The voice of a woman who sounded mature and resolute made Xiao Mingyui and Bingbing turn their heads.


Xiao Mingyui stared at the figure of the woman who was now bowing towards him, Xiao Mingyui's cold eyes as usual made the woman secretly nervous.


Princess Mo Wanwan, the envoy's daughter of the Western Empire. Now stand right in front of him.


"Yes?" xiao Mingyui asked, the woman did not stand up from her seat because in the 'pedigree' of the Eastern Empire, Xiao Mingyui is the Emperor's cousin, which means the senior Crown Prince. While Princess Mo Wanwan is a princess who has the same generation as the Crown Prince.


"Can we talk for a second?" ask Mo Wanting.


Xiao Mingyui smiled faintly, then her eyes glanced at the empty chair next to her. "Of course, please sit down."


Meanwhile, Xiao Jiwang was now in the garden of the Palace with Xie Wanting, the look on his face was very unhappy. Xie Wanting with all sorts of excuses held him back to meet Xiao Mingyui.


"Daughter Xie, it seems better if now you also return to the residence and rest if your body feels increasingly tired. Isn't that what you complained about before?" xiao Jiwang said, he began to show his discomfort blatantly.


Xie Wanting glanced at Xiao Jiwang, then replied, "Your highness, do you feel unhappy accompanying me? Forgive me for being too troublesome ...." Xie Wanting's soft pretty face looked sad.


Xiao Jiwang let out a huffed breath. "As you know, my fiance has been waiting for a long time in the main pavilion now. If you already feel tired from going around, it would be nice to go back and not force yourself anymore. Because it can have a bad impact on yourself."


Xie Wanting smiled faintly, her two sweet eyes staring at Xiao Jiwang. "You made the outer envoy of the Empire feel uneasy, does your highness know of the consequences? I am here to represent the Kingdom of Southeast Huan. Such a noble gesture did not make me at all comfortable, as was the objection of accompanying me as a foreign guest."


"Huh?" Xiao Jiwang slowly began to lose patience, he dispelled the courtesy in his speech. Xiao Jiwang has limits.


"Do you think your fiancee and the representative of a relative of your Empire is more important fiancee? If your fiance is a woman who deserves to fill the honor with you, she shouldn't feel troubled if you're busy because-"


"Shut your trash's mouth." Xiao Jiwang stared intently at Xie Wanting.


Xie Wanting was surprised, he did not expect Xiao Jiwang to dare say such things to him. He thought the man would be disinclined to refuse all sorts of requests or words because he was the envoy of the Southeast Huan Kingdom.


Xiao Jiwang turned around, before leaving the man said, "Don't because you are the envoy of the Southeast Huan Kingdom, you can have casual comments regarding my fiance and relationship. I will forget your trashy sentence, please do not repeat it again. Get back to your home."


Xie Wanting was still shocked, the woman stood staring at the cold back of Xiao Jiwang who was slowly moving away.
