590 Giving a Beauty a Flower (1)
In Yanqing Alley, in the mansion of the royal family of the State of Qin, Princess Ming An sat in the room with all kinds of exquisite pastries and tea in front of her, but she was not in the mood to eat at all. A few maids had been scolded by Princess Ming An for no reason today, and everyone was afraid of approaching her.
“Is there any news from Xie Changwu?” Princess Ming An asked her subordinate.
The man shook his head.
With a bang, Princess Ming An suddenly threw the cup in front of her to the ground and said angrily, “Useless!”
The people around were already used to Princess Ming An’s strange temper. They did not even dare to breathe loudly. Princess Ming An seemed to be very annoyed, so she stood up and walked out of the house to the courtyard.
Princess Ming An was vexed by what Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao did. That day, they had already kidnapped Shen Miao from the Shen family, but they waited and did not do anything. In the end, Shen Miao was actually rescued and sent back to the Shen family unscathed. When she found out that Shen Miao had returned to the Shen family, Princess Mingan was furious. She immediately got someone to send a message to the Xie brothers, wanting to vent her anger on them for not doing their job well. However, Xie Changwu wrote to her and told her that he had plans. On the one hand, Princess Mingan had to be wary of Huangfu Hao finding out about this, and on the other hand, she was grounded. No matter how indignant she was, she could only wait for good news from Xie Changwu.
In the end, after waiting for so many days, she finally couldn’t hold it anymore. She was really angry and planned to make the Xie brothers suffer. There was no one in this world who could still live well after messing up what she had instructed.
Just as she was about to call someone to look for the Xie brothers, she saw another servant running over. Seeing that there was no one around, the servant secretly handed Princess Ming An a letter and said, “Your Highness, this is from the second young master of the Xie family.”
Princess Ming An was stunned. She did not understand why Xie Changwu dared to take the initiative to send a letter. She quickly opened it and read it. After reading ten lines at a glance, the frustration on her face disappeared. She tore the letter into pieces and said to the palace maid beside her in a good mood, “Let’s go. Take out all the bright dresses and jewelry. I want to choose them.”
The maids were all a little puzzled. Now that Princess Ming An was grounded, why did she want to dress up? For whom?
Although they were puzzled, no one dared to provoke Princess Ming An, so they could only go in and dress her up.
The day passed especially quickly, as if time was flowing like water. At night, the winter sky turned dark very early. Moreover, it began to snow again, but it was not light snow. The snowflakes fluttered like goose feathers. In the winter, the cold wind was bone-chilling. Even the night watchmen didn’t want to stay outside. The entire capital was silent.
At midnight, Wanli Lake was silent.
The taverns were still brightly lit all night with people drinking and having fun. However, on the street, there was no one outside. Even the windows in the brothel were tightly shut. In such a late night, the howling wind was like a knife when it touched people’s faces.
In the lake, the pleasure boats were stuck in place. In winter, while the lake was frozen, the boats could not move at all. The scene looked especially desolate.
