"Play to the best of my ability! I played to my heart's content today! "
As expected, after a few rounds of mahjong, His Highness Prince Ke looked very happy. He patted his money pouch as if he had not played to his heart's content. If it was not for the fact that it was already dark, he would have played three more rounds.
He smiled as he pointed at Ning Shu, "Little girl Ning, you must know that playing mahjong is like going to the battlefield. You cannot only care about the small benefits in front of you. You must consider the big picture and always remember that you cannot be arrogant. For example, in the last round just now, you originally had a chance of winning. However, you were too anxious at the crucial moment. You were too eager to win and went for wool but came home shorn. "
Ning Shu frowned and smiled bitterly in annoyance. She stood up and sent Xiao Minglan out of the private room with Xiahou Qing, "That round just now was indeed my daughter's fault. His Highness Prince Ke is right. My daughter will remember."
"However, it's still alright. Although this prince won money, you are still better than me in terms of winning percentage. It can be considered a tie. Not bad, not bad. Hahahaha. Alright, I have played to my heart's content today. This prince will return to the residence first. You don't have to send me off. "Xiao Minglan waved his hand and stopped them. He walked down the stairs under the guidance of the servants.
After keeping the official seal of the Ministry of Rites in her sleeves, Ning Shu smiled and prepared to send the old man off with her eyes.
Xiao Minglan had just taken two steps when he suddenly turned his head and asked curiously, "That's right. When we were playing mahjong just now, this prince heard the people downstairs talking about the case of Xuan Qing Temple. You took a fancy to Nanping Wang's heir and planned it. Is it true?"
Ning Shu, "…"
"Hahahaha, this prince was just joking with you. How could this case be done by you? However, why is your face red? Could it be that you really took a fancy to Nanping Wang's heir? "
Originally, Ning Shu's face was not red. However, when this old man in his early thirties said that her face was red, the corner of her mouth twitched and she turned her face away speechlessly.
"Don't be shy. One of you is unmarried, and the other is about to get married. One of you has just lost your future wife, while the other has lost her third husband. There's no one else in the entire capital who is more compatible than you two. Are you sure you don't want to consider it? "Xiao Minglan looked at the two of them and teased them. The mole under her eye was especially vivid.
The blush on Ning Shu's face deepened, and she couldn't help but say in embarrassment, "Your Highness Prince Ke!"
"Aiyoyo, I already said that I was just joking. Why did you take it seriously? Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. I'm going back now." Xiao Minglan laughed heartily when he finally got the reaction that he had been waiting for. He went downstairs in satisfaction.
Ning Shu let out a long sigh of relief after the devil incarnate had really left. She quickly raised her hand and fanned herself a few times to cool down the inexplicable heat on her face.
Ning Shu cleared her throat and turned around, pretending to be relaxed as she said, "Haha, Your Highness Prince Ke really likes to joke. Really — —"
However, she didn't expect that Xiahou Qing was standing behind her. When she turned around, she almost bumped into his arms. She subconsciously retreated, but forgot that there was a staircase behind her. She stumbled and almost fell down, but was caught by a hand in time.
She raised her head in shock. All she could see was his jade-white face, his handsome nose, and the almost perfect curve of his chin.
Her heart unconsciously skipped a beat. The temperature on her face that had just gone down seemed to be rising again. Moreover, this trend was as steep as climbing a mountain.
She was stunned for a moment and quickly steadied herself. She escaped from his palm and stood at the same level as him.
After his palm was empty, Xiahou Qing gently pinched the tip of his finger and took it back. His eyebrows were still wrinkled as he said, "Impudent."
Ning Shu awkwardly rubbed the tip of her nose and said, "This little girl will definitely pay attention next time. Many thanks to Your Highness for saving this little girl's life again. Anyway, it's already late. Your Highness must be tired from running around today. How about you go back to your residence early and rest? This little girl will respectfully send Your Highness off."
Her waist that was grabbed by him just now felt like it was on fire. She smiled and bowed, wanting to quickly end this awkward situation. However, she saw that Xiahou Qing was as steady as Mount Tai, standing in front of her motionless.
"Do you want to see?" He suddenly opened his mouth. A wisp of wind came in from outside the open window and slightly lifted the end of the brocade cloth that covered his eyes.
Ning Shu blinked her eyes and didn't understand, "Eh? See what? "
His voice was low and smooth, like jade and jade, "Last time you said that if you can successfully solve this case, you want to see my eyes."
