Quickly wear and change the fate of the little cannon fodder

Chapter 474: The Little Cannon Fodder in Ancient House Fighting Novels 30

Cui Xiaoxiao didn't care about her thoughts. When she arrived at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, she saw the Tenth Prince's carriage. The Tenth Prince was dressed in sapphire blue cotton satin brocade. He stood beside the carriage with a graceful manner and looked at her with a smile.

When Cui Xiaoxiao saw this scene, she laughed before she said anything. She really loved the man dressed in ancient men's clothing. His every move, gesture, frown and smile were so touching!

What's more, the Tenth Prince has a fresh and handsome appearance, extraordinary character and appearance, and after years of careful education by the royal family, he is even more graceful, elegant, noble, and authoritative!

Just standing there, he was like a beautiful painting, which was completely incomparable to modern men in ancient costumes. It felt like they had lost the innate charm of flowing and leisurely ease.

Even Cui Xiaoxiao, who is used to seeing all kinds of handsome men and is well-informed, found the scene before her extremely pleasing to the eye!

But it was a pity, he was only sixteen years old. Even in the ancient times when people matured early, he was still too young and tender for her! He was so tender that it was difficult for her to make a move!

She still needs to be nurtured a little more. She has such grace at the age of sixteen. She will probably be even better if she is nurtured a little more. She will probably be even more outstanding.

Cui Xiaoxiao was so dazed that she almost forgot that she was only sixteen years old and even younger than the current Tenth Prince.

"Why are you standing there like an idiot? Come here quickly." Seeing Cui Xiaoxiao standing there motionless, the Tenth Prince took a few steps towards her.

"I'm not so dazzled by your highness's stunning beauty that I can hardly walk," Cui Xiaoxiao said while bowing!

"Can I really charm you? If so, then my appearance has done some good." The Tenth Prince helped her up as she bowed and said with a smile!

Don't think he didn't see the surprise, sigh, appreciation, and pity in the eyes of the girl in front of him, but there was no love. He was a little puzzled. Other things were fine, but what was the pity? What was she regretting?

But it doesn't matter. If she likes his appearance, then she likes him, right? As for the rest, he has plenty of time and confidence to let this woman get to know him. Maybe she will be attracted to him soon!

"Your Highness, you should have confidence in yourself. I am just an ordinary woman like other women." So I also like beautiful women, oh no, male beauty!

"Okay, then I'll take it seriously for now! It's getting late, let's go!" The Tenth Prince was obviously in a good mood. Without waiting for her to reply, he helped her into the carriage, bent down and followed her in.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I've kept you waiting for so long. Why don't you wait in the carriage? What if you catch a cold?" After getting in the carriage, Cui Xiaoxiao discovered that there was a big temperature difference between the inside and outside of the carriage. Upon closer inspection, she found that there was a stove lit.

"It's okay, I just got here not long ago too. Don't worry, I'm not that fragile, this little breeze won't make me cold." After the two of them were seated firmly, the carriage set off.

The tenth prince took out some cakes from the basket on the carriage and handed them to her. Cui Xiaoxiao took them without hesitation. After all, he liked her because she liked to eat and had an appetite!

The tenth prince looked at Cui Xiaoxiao while drinking tea. He felt that the girl in front of him had changed again! It is said that women are fickle, but this is not the way they change, right?

He always felt that she was ever-changing, and every time they met, she gave him a different feeling, sometimes ugly, sometimes beautiful, sometimes ordinary, but not out of place. He even suspected that he had never seen Cui Xiaoxiao's true face, but he couldn't ask about it directly.

"Fifth brother has been inquiring about and observing my relationship with the Marquis' Mansion recently! If I show that I value you or the Marquis' Mansion, he might want to develop you into a spy in my mansion through your father!" The Tenth Prince looked away and started the conversation!

"Haha, that's really a wild idea. Why does he think his concubine would be so attractive to me? He is so confident. So, Your Highness, what is your decision?"

"Don't worry about him, let's live our own life! Since he wants to play, let him play, it's okay anyway." The Tenth Prince said indifferently. Anyway, if he gave his fifth brother a look or said one more word, his fifth brother would think a lot, and it would be too easy to mislead his fifth brother.

"By the way, I haven't congratulated His Highness on his coronation yet."

"Congratulations, so to celebrate my coronation as king, can you please stop calling me Your Highness?" He originally thought that there was nothing wrong with this title, but when he heard her call the Fifth Prince "Your Highness" a few days ago, he felt something was wrong.

"Then I should call you Prince? Tenth Master?" She would never call him husband anyway, it was too awkward.

"What's the difference between that and your highness? I also have a name. You can call me Yunchen or Achen." His brothers are all highnesses or princes, and only their names are unique.

"Okay, Dian...Achen!" Cui Xiaoxiao called out as usual, but changed the subject abruptly because of his eyes!

After hearing the word "Achen", the tenth prince was finally satisfied. Then, while eating cakes, the two of them chatted about how the palace was designed, what she wanted, and what style she liked. They had no shortage of topics.

Half an hour later, we finally arrived at the Tenth Prince's farm. The prince's farm felt like a park. Because it was still snowy, there was nothing worth seeing except plum blossoms.

There happened to be a large plum forest inside the manor, and there were several pavilions next to it for people to enjoy the plum blossoms. The servants should have received the news long ago, and the remaining snow on the road had been cleared, and some food and ingredients had been prepared in the pavilion.

The tenth prince and Cui Xiaoxiao, two handsome men and beautiful women, one red and one blue, shuttled through the plum forest, just like a living painting of a couple admiring plum blossoms! They quietly admired the plum blossoms, and finally cut a few branches of plum blossoms with great interest to prepare for the vase.

After they had enough fun, the two went to the pavilion!

Cui Xiaoxiao went around every pavilion. One pavilion had several musical instruments on display; one pavilion had tea sets, snacks and a drawing table; and another pavilion had a barbecue, hot pot and various fresh ingredients prepared!

Cui Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh, this evil capitalist, his preparations are too complete!

"Does it feel like we're going to have a comprehensive talent show?" Cui Xiaoxiao looked at the people around her and asked with a smile.

"It's not impossible! But it doesn't matter whether you use it or not, please feel free to do as you please. There are only two of us using this forest today, so of course we can do whatever we want. In fact, I just prepared all these because I was afraid you would be bored!" He had never dated a woman alone, so it was always a good idea to prepare more.

"But these hot pot and barbecue seem a bit out of place among these musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, painting and tea!" Her reputation as a foodie must be indelible in his mind. Hasn't he seen that he always prepares food for her?

"It's okay. The most vulgar is the most elegant. Just eat when you're tired and hungry. I've even prepared venison today!"

Since everything has been prepared so thoroughly, how can we let it down?

Cui Xiaoxiao plays the flute and the tenth prince plays the piano!

Cui Xiaoxiao made tea while the Tenth Prince painted!

Cui Xiaoxiao eats barbecue, while the Tenth Prince eats hotpot!

No matter what Cui Xiaoxiao did or said, the Tenth Prince could always keep up. The two of them were surprisingly in sync. Even if the two of them didn't talk and just stayed quietly, they were very harmonious.

After the meal, Cui Xiaoxiao presented her birthday present, unwrapped the cake, and revealed a beautiful cake.

"Happy birthday, Chen!"

"You, you actually knew?" He always thought that Cui Xiaoxiao didn't know that today was his birthday, but he didn't expect that she not only knew it but also carefully prepared a gift.

"Of course! This is a cake I made myself. Try it and see if you like it?"

“I am actually reluctant to eat such exquisite pastries. Xiaoxiao, you really surprise me.” The Tenth Prince said in surprise as he looked at the realistic flowers and the words “Happy Birthday”!

The overbearing sweet aroma of the cake wafted into his nose. Was she even so good at cooking? He was always surprised every time he saw her. She seemed like a mountain of treasures. What he knew about Cui Xiaoxiao was just the tip of the iceberg!

At Cui Xiaoxiao's smiling gesture, the Tenth Prince cut a small piece and put it in his mouth. He was immediately amazed by the food in his mouth. The cream cake was sweet and delicious, melting in the mouth, sweet but not greasy, and he, who didn't like sweets, liked it right away.

Even the imperial chefs in the palace cannot match her pastry-making skills!

Later, Cui Xiaoxiao presented another birthday gift. The Tenth Prince thought that the cake Cui Xiaoxiao made by herself was the birthday gift, but he did not expect that there were other gifts as well.

He opened it carefully and saw a very beautiful cloak. He liked both the color and the fabric embroidery. He felt particularly happy today and put it on on the spot. It actually fit him perfectly.

The tenth prince walked around the garden in his cloak, his joy and emotion beyond words. When he sat down, he took it off for fear that the cloak would get wrinkled.

The two played until the evening, and only reluctantly started to go back when it was almost dark!

The Tenth Prince felt that he had gained a lot today. After sending Cui Xiaoxiao back to the Marquis' Mansion, he took the half-remaining cake and the new cloak and went back to the palace to share with his mother.

Cui Xiaoxiao also brought with her the unfinished portrait of a faceless beauty that the Tenth Prince had painted for her, which allowed her to witness the Tenth Prince's amazing painting skills. Even without painting the facial features, one could tell that it was her in the portrait.

He even said that he would fill in the facial features when he saw the real her. The signature on the portrait was really speechless: "Prince Jing Yunchen presented it to his wife Cui Xiaoxiao!!"

Even without filling in the facial features, the Tenth Prince was unwilling to give her a half-finished portrait, and Cui Xiaoxiao still forcefully confiscated it. The Tenth Prince only filled in the signature after realizing that he could not win against her.

The date between the two was very successful. While the Tenth Prince had a very happy birthday, he also quietly promoted himself to Cui Xiaoxiao!

The effect of his operation was also very good. The two of them had a deeper understanding of each other. It also brought the distance between them closer, and their affection for each other was rapidly warming up.

Not long after Cui Xiaoxiao returned to the Marquis' Mansion, she heard that the old lady wanted to see her! She frowned. Why did the old lady want to see her at this time? But she still went to the old lady's yard.

When she saw everyone was there, Cui Xiaoxiao greeted everyone! It turned out that the Dong family had sent a message to the Marquis' Mansion, saying that they had asked the Marquis' Mansion for a wedding date for Cui Ningning tomorrow, and this gathering was to discuss Cui Ningning's dowry.

The Marquis' Mansion was first robbed in its warehouse and then encountered robbers, resulting in the mansion being left with no silver, not to mention no shops or farms. It is simply unable to provide the dowry as previously planned!

So the old lady and the Marquisate decided that no matter how poor and miserable the Marquisate was, they couldn't let the child suffer. Several elders decided that the Marquisate would collect three thousand taels of silver from the public funds to buy Cui Ningning's dowry!

As for how the elders provide subsidies privately, they don’t care.

The old lady made a big promise, saying that if the conditions of the Marquis's mansion improved in the future, or if all the stolen items were recovered, the Marquis's mansion would make up the dowry. But everyone knew this, so it was just for show and not to be taken seriously.

Cui Xiaoxiao was speechless after hearing this. The Marquis was really stingy. The Marquis, who had spoiled her since she was a child, only gave her three thousand taels of silver. This was just the amount of spoiling she received!

As for Cui Xiaoxiao's dowry, who was also engaged, the Marquis and the old lady were a bit troubled. The old lady tried to find out if Hua Yunrong had left any money, but when she found no clues, she just said that she would wait and see the specifications of the betrothal gifts sent by the palace, and then she would discuss her dowry.

Cui Xiaoxiao didn't care about them, she was not in a hurry at all. Anyway, if the Marquis's Mansion didn't prepare a dowry for her, or the dowry was too bad, she wanted to see how the Marquis's Mansion would face the eyes of everyone?

Other royal palaces would also marry concubines. If the marquis's palace ranked last, it would be a disgrace to the royal family.

As a concubine of a prince, and the legitimate daughter of the marquis's family, no dowry was prepared for her. So, is the marquis' family dissatisfied with the emperor's arranged marriage or with the tenth prince?

The tenth prince knew all about her situation, and he also knew that she was not poor in private! He would only listen to Cui Xiaoxiao's opinions and cooperate with her in all her actions. Anyway, he would not let the Marquis's family get away with it!

The only thing left was for her to prepare. In a few days, it would be the day of the Royal Palace Banquet, and the Marquis's wife would take her to attend! The old lady said so, but she didn't say anything about preparing money, clothes, jewelry, etc., so what did she have to prepare?

Cui Ningning jumped out again to make herself known, saying that her future husband's family would be visiting tomorrow and she needed new clothes and nice jewelry, so she wanted to ask Cui Xiaoxiao to borrow some to make the mansion look good!

"Sister Shu, you are joking. My clothes and jewelry were all bought by my grandmother before the talent show last year. I remember that sister Shu made a few more sets than me, saying that they were prepared as dowry. You don't have to participate in the talent show, so how can you have no clothes to wear?

I heard that your clothes were not delivered when the mansion was robbed. Logically speaking, your clothes were not stolen, right? How could you have nothing to wear? Moreover, the size and style of clothes are different for each person, and the jewelry is also matched with the clothes. How can it be borrowed?" Cui Xiaoxiao said speechlessly!

She said she was using this to beat a dog with a meat bun. What's the difference? If you need clothes and jewelry, go to your parents to buy them. Why go to her sister? Do you think she is easy to bully?

"Haha, I just think that the hairpins and step-shakes on my sister's head are beautiful. They just happen to match my clothes. Don't you want to borrow them?" Cui Ningning laughed awkwardly!

"I'm really sorry. I'm sorry, sister, I can't agree to this. The jewelry on my head is a gift sent by the Tenth Prince last night. There is also the mark of the Imperial Household Department on it!" So you can't wear it, and she can't lend it to you!

"You..., the Tenth Prince only gave you such a small gift, is it necessary to show off like that?" Cui Ningning said angrily.

Since she had said it, she naturally intended to borrow it and not return it, but when Cui Xiaoxiao said this, she knew that this goal would not work. However, she was secretly annoyed. The Tenth Prince was really a fool. He gave something that others could not use.
