The Villain's Heart Black Moonlight

Chapter 44: The ruthless official x the delicate princess (2)

The visitor was dressed in gorgeous clothes, followed by seven or eight maids, and had her hair tied up in a bun, which was very popular at the time.

This is Concubine Xian’s daughter and Ning Chichu’s sister, the current fifth princess Ning Yingyue.

Although the two were only one year apart in age, Ning Yingyue was half a head taller than Chi Chu. Her rosy face formed a sharp contrast with Chi Chu's pale and delicate appearance.

She and Chi Chu had always been at odds - of course, with the original owner's temper, to put it bluntly, she had always been bullied.

Chi Chu turned around and said in a good-tempered tone, "Sister, you are quite impressive."

This statement sounded sarcastic, but Chi Chu's tone was quite sincere, as if he didn't realize Ning Yingyue's sarcasm.

"You..." Ning Yingyue choked, with a bit of embarrassment on her face.

"I never realized you were so sharp-tongued and could argue with others before, but I warn you, just because you are promised marriage doesn't mean you can become a phoenix."

As she spoke, she took two steps forward and saw the porcelain vase that the maids had just brought in.

This porcelain vase was the latest to be presented, and it was said to have adopted the most popular patterns of the day, and there were only five or six of them in the palace.

One of them was given to his mother, Empress Xian, and the rest, one is with his father himself, one is in the hands of the crown prince, and one is said to have been given to the general.

She wanted to ask her father for one at that time, but when she heard that the number was so rare, she gave up the idea.

Seeing this in front of Chi Chu at this moment, she felt jealous and sour for a moment.

"Sister, this porcelain vase is really nice. I like it very much." Ning Yingyue couldn't help but started talking.

If she could snatch the porcelain vase from Chi Chu, she seemed to be able to see the envious and jealous eyes of the other princesses.

Chi Chu also nodded gently and said obediently: "I like it too."

Ning Yingyue: “…”

She choked again and said with a forced smile:

"It seems that our tastes are quite similar... But this porcelain is quite precious. No one is looking after it here, sister. If it gets damaged, wouldn't it be a waste? This should be the dowry approved by our father. It is really unacceptable if it is damaged."

She adjusted her mindset pretty quickly, rolled her eyes and started to fool around.

"I think... how about leaving this porcelain with me for a few days, and then I'll send it to you when you get married in a few days?"

Ning Yingyue was calculating loudly.

She knew Ning Chichu's character very well. Now that this thing was in her hands, it was hers, and the other party would most likely not ask her for it back.

And if the other party asked, there would be no problem as long as she didn't admit it.

Many of the original owner's things were taken away by her in this way.

"It's okay, sister." Chi Chu said the refusal in a gentle tone.

"So that's it... huh?"

Ning Yingyue originally thought that this time would be as smooth as before, so when she heard that it was not a big deal, her brain didn't react for a while, and she was stunned for a moment before looking at Chi Chu.

"What did you just say no?"

"Yes, this is my dowry. I want my sister to keep it for me. Isn't it too much trouble for you?" The little girl spoke softly, as if she was doing it for Ning Yingyue's good.

"I, I don't think it's troublesome."

Ning Yingyue had never been fooled by this kind of tactic of advancing to retreat, and she fell into Chi Chu's trap in an instant.

"But I feel bad for you, sister. I know that my sister and I are not from the same biological mother. Although we have been very close over the years, it was okay to trouble you when I had problems in my life when I was a child. Now that I have reached the age to get married, it is not appropriate to trouble you like this."

The little girl has a soft and sweet appearance, and speaks in a gentle and soft voice, which makes people feel comfortable listening to her.

Her eyes were watery, and because she was pale and thin, her black eyes looked even bigger and brighter, like a pure and clear lake.

But at this moment, Ning Yingyue felt so upset that she couldn't even utter a word of rebuttal.

They themselves are clear about their relationship.

To say this is generally considered a compliment.

But now, in front of everyone, she cares so much about you, talking about when you were a child and now. If she insists, it seems a bit inappropriate for etiquette, right?

Ning Yingyue realized belatedly that she seemed to have been tricked by Chi Chu.

She lowered her voice and looked at Chi Chu: "You said that on purpose!"

Chi Chu looked at her innocently: "I want to repay my sister from the bottom of my heart, why did my sister say that?"

Ning Yingyue felt like she had punched cotton.

She wanted to get angry like usual and just snatch Chi Chu's things away, but when she noticed the maids around her, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

——Before, there was no one around Chi Chu, so she bullied him.

Now that she is about to get married, she is surrounded by maids, and there must be her father's people among them. It would be a bit inappropriate if she did these things and was seen by others and spread.

"You know whether you did it on purpose or not. I underestimated you before, Ning Chichu!" Ning Yingyue gritted her teeth.

She felt humiliated and couldn't get any benefit from Chi Chu, so she waved her sleeves and turned to leave, but her eyes were fixed on a jewelry box next to her.

Ning Yingyue seemed to walk past it unintentionally, then raised her hand to "accidentally" knock the box of jewelry away.

But when her hand touched the jewelry box, the expected scene of jade pendants and hairpins scattering all over the floor did not occur. Instead, Ning Yingyue felt a sharp pain in her hand.

It didn't feel like it hit an ordinary jewelry box that was placed there, but rather like it hit a stone.

It hurt so much that she could hardly keep her expression.

"What is this thing!" Ning Yingyue raised her hand to pick up the jewelry box and smash it down, but found that her hand... seemed to be out of control at that moment.

——She couldn’t even make the move to smash down!

Ning Yingyue was only a sixteen-year-old girl, which would be the age of a high school student in modern times. At this moment, she widened her eyes in shock and shouted loudly to her personal maid: "Green Sleeves!"

The maid named Green Sleeve came over quickly: "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

"I, my hands suddenly can't move!"

Upon hearing this, Luxiu was also panicked. She hurriedly took the jewelry box from Ning Yingyue and was about to ask her whether she wanted to call the imperial physician over.

But Ning Yingyue raised her hand, and her hand... seemed to be back to normal.

This strange scene made Ning Yingyue completely confused. She looked at the jewelry box, and a hint of uncertainty flashed in her eyes.

However, Luxiu was completely unaware of her princess's shock and thought that Ning Yingyue was just joking.

"Your Highness, can you move your hands? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

"It's not the hand that's the problem...it's this jewelry box!" Ning Yingyue wasn't particularly stupid, she recognized the problem at first glance.

She was just about to raise her hand to touch the jewelry box to verify her thoughts.

Chi Chu's soft voice suddenly sounded behind her: "Sister, this jewelry box... is from my mother... No, it was left by Lady Shen, so I'm sorry you can't take it with you."

"..."

Ning Yingyue immediately retracted her hand.
