The Next Of Phoenix
Chapter 5. Crown Prince and Princess Mingyui
"Your highness, there's something this subordinate wants to convey."
Huang Dajie, the former Prime Minister attended the gathering of noble officials in the Palace today. His goal was none other than to propose the edict of the engagement of Xiao Mingyui and the Crown Prince.
Xiao Jihuang who saw Huang Dajie did not usually come to the gathering of noble officials after retirement was wondering. He could not resist when Huang Dajie wanted to convey something, surely the news to be delivered was so important that a class of former Prime Minister like Huang Dajie was present in person at the meeting.
"Please, former Prime Minister Huang." Xiao Jihuang threw a smile towards Huang Dajie, Xiao Jihuang's face was currently already looking aged. There were a lot of wrinkles on his face, half of the hair on his head turned white. While Huang Dajie, the man was already fully as old as him. He retired five years ago and began to get sickly, but remained present if there were any problems dragging on the name of Xiao Wangfu and his late daughter, Huang Mingxiang.
"It's about the servant's granddaughter, Princess Mingyui. Princess Mingyui was already very mature and started to enter the appropriate age to get married, but unfortunately before she could find her best candidate, her parents were gone. I as the only old man whose blood one is closest to her was very worried, I want Princess Mingyui to soon find a husband who will take care of her. But I am an outdated parent. I fear that my judgment towards finding a partner is already too left behind, so .. I beg your Majesty the Emperor to find a good partner for my granddaughter, Princess Mingyui."
Xiao Jiwang was stunned, he did not expect that the important thing Huang Dajie would say was the matter of marriage. Xiao Jihuang's frown slightly shriveled, she suddenly recalled the late Huang Mingxiang. In the past, at the request of his former Huanghou, he was the one who got Huang Mingxiang and Xiao Muqing married. Xiao Jihuang's lips slightly lifted, she smiled because of those old memories.
One of the officers, go forward. He is Chen Lugo, son of the late elder brother Chen Taifei the Great.
"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion."
Xiao Jihuang shifted her gaze towards Chen Lugo. "Say, Minister Chen."
"Thank you very much, your majesty. Previously, I had permission to propose opinions and suggestions. Your Majesty, Princess Mingyui is the biological child of the late Xiao Wangye and Xiao Wangfei. We all know that both of them are very meritorious figures and have high status and dignity. Princess Mingyui also grew into an elegant, graceful, and smart adult woman, and even you yourself had to admit it at the Imperial Year End party three years ago. In my opinion, the only title-holder man suitable to be Princess Xiao Mingyui's partner is only one, namely the Crown Prince. Given that the Crown Prince until now has not had a legal wife or concubine even."
The room was quiet and silent after Chen Lugo said that. A wide variety of reactions appear, some are supportive and not.
Xiao Jihuang was a little surprised, but the look on her face remained calm. His eyes looked at Chen Lugo and Huang Dajie alternately.
"Crown Prince, huh?" xiao Jihuang said, he seemed to be thinking hard, then immediately threw a question towards Huang Dajie. "What do you think, former Prime Minister?"
Huang Dajie was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath silently and nodded steadily. "I also think the same thing. If Princess Mingyui and the Crown Prince marry, then this Empire will be very stable. That's a brilliant idea, your majesty."
Xiao Jihuang frowned ever deeper, she felt astonished that Huang Dajie had agreed to this proposal. Although the Crown Prince was his flesh and blood, Xiao Jihuang knew that this one Son was very messed up.
Xiao Jiwang won always undergoing missions with perfect results, the man also had a very responsible nature. But, other than that he was the only Prince who had the most terrifying heart and mindset. Xiao Jihuang did not hate her son, she was sure that her son could become a great Emperor. But ... if his son is married to Mingyui who looks very graceful and gentle, he is worried about Mingyui's condition.
"Your highness, how?" chen Lugo asked, the man helped Huang Dajie to urge the Emperor to answer immediately.
Xiao Jihuang regained her senses from her daydream, after which nodded. "The Crown Prince is the son of Wu Guifei. Zhen would talk about this first to Wu Guifei."
"Okay, your honor." Huang Dajie and Chen Lugo bowed together, then retreated back to their previous positions.
Meanwhile Wu Guifei, Wu Zeyuan who had heard the news that Huang Dajie and Chen Lugo wanted to make Xiao Jiwang and Xiao Mingyui get married was shocked.
"Former Prime Minister Huang agrees??" wu Zeyuan asked, her two beautiful round eyes that had now started to appear were quite a lot of wrinkles staring at the surprised subordinates.
"Yes, Niangniang."
Wu Zeyuan was silent, the woman was thinking. He did not disagree if his son was married to Xiao Mingyui, but he had the same worries as Xiao Jihuang. Everyone knew his son was famous as cold blood, even he and Xiao Jihuang who as his biological parents had trouble controlling the child. But, how could former Prime Minister Huang and Minister Chen agree to marry his son to a woman as good as Xiao Mingyui? Considering that Xiao Mingyui was the daughter of his late best friend, Huang Mingxiang, made Wu Zeyuan's heart even more uneasy. Although Wu Zeyuan and Xiao Mingyui had only met every party in the Palace, Wu Zeyuan had given the child more affection and attention since childhood.
"Your highness is in his study, Niangniang. The gathering of officials has just finished," replied Wu Zeyuan's subordinate.
Without further ado, Wu Zeyuan immediately ran towards her husband's study.
Meanwhile, at Xiao Wangfu, Xiao Mingyui was in Xiao Wangfu's library. He sat quietly while reading a book, all of which contained ridiculous things. Yes, the book he is currently reading is the '100 True Guide To Attracting Men's Hearts'.
"Your majesty, what you are reading right now is the twentieth book here. It seemed, Xiao Wangfu did not buy many books regarding love. Most of them are just books on military, politics, finance, and leadership." Bingbing let out a thin sigh, she had just finished exploring Xiao Wangfu's large library just to search for such a ridiculous book. He was currently completely convinced that his master seriously wanted to get close to the Crown Prince.
"Bingbing's." Xiao Mingyui called out the name of his subordinate.
"I, your honor?" bingbing asked, her tone sounded exhausted. His eyes stared lazily towards Xiao Mingyui.
Xiao Mingyui closed her reading book, then asked, "Am I beautiful?"
Bingbing widened her eyes, her mouth wide open. Holy hooch! How could his master ask such a question?! Was she unaware of her beauty and perfection from possessing the legendary blood of the late Xiao Wangye and Xiao Wangfei?!!
"Your majesty, even if you ask a crazy person and toddler who has not been fluent in speech, they will nod in agreement quickly. You are so beautiful! So perfect!" bingbing replied, her face looked extremely excited as she said that.
Xiao Mingyui frowned, then gently touched her cheek using the right palm. "really? Then why didn't the Crown Prince fall in love with me?"
Bingbing let out a breath. "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince must be well aware of your beauty. However, his heart was still dead and closed. Ck .. I doubt the Crown Prince's manhood, how is it possible that at his current age he is not interested in finding a partner even still not tempted by your face? Yes ... We must not be prejudiced about someone, anyway. It could be that the Crown Prince's heart is indeed very cold and lonely, considering that he grew up in the Palace and must have seen a lot of terrible things happening quietly there."
Xiao Mingyui nodded, then turned to look at Bingbing and asked, "Then what should I do? You seem to be very good at this. I have absolutely no experience."
Bingbing was silent for a moment, thinking. But before long he smiled brightly and said, "You just need to be his sun! You just need to warm his heart, make his frozen heart melt and melt. Make the Crown Prince feel comfortable and very dear and appreciated every time with you."
"Example?" asked Xiao Mingyui again.
"Treat her like a child, then appreciate her every utterance as if she is the only one you respect. Meet every need, hug him if he looks sad," replied Bingbing.
Xiao Mingyui frowned in confusion. "So I have to be an adult or a child who is always obedient?"
Bingbing shrugged both of her shoulders indifferently. "You should be able to set it up yourself, your majesty. You should know when you should be obedient, mature, and childish. Men have egos that sometimes have to be fed and not."
Xiao Mingyui nodded, jeez .. Bingbing's explanation was easier to understand than the books she had read before!
"Order Da Xuan to find out where else the Crown Prince will go." Xiao Mingyui looked back at the book, then tried to tidy it up one by one.
Bingbing raised her left eyebrow. "You really still want to see him after that shitty deed he did three days ago?"
Xiao Mingyui smiled faintly, her eyes looking cold as ever. "Yes. Gotta."
