The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1188

Chapter 1188: Chapter 1011: Face-Slapping Expert

After lunch, Daohua took the ladies to the main courtyard hall to chat and drink tea, while Xiao Yeyang continued to watch the opera with the menfolk in the opera tower, accompanying Gu Jian.

During this time, An Xin whispered a few words to Old Madam An and then excused herself to add clothes to Prince Moqing, turning around and leaving the hall.

Daohua noticed this and her eyes darkened slightly, not wanting the An Family to interfere with Gu Jian’s birthday banquet. As An Xin was about to leave the hall, she spoke out, "Where is Miss An going?"

The people in the room chatting did not pay much attention to An Xin, but upon hearing Daohua’s question, they all turned their gaze towards her.

An Xin felt somewhat nervous, but still replied calmly, "Replying to the Princess Consort, it seems the wind outside has picked up a little, and I’m thinking of bringing an extra garment to Prince Moqing."

Daohua replied with a light smile, "For such a trivial matter, it’s enough to send a maid. Why trouble Miss An to go there in person?"

That’s when Old Madam An spoke up, "The Princess Consort might not be aware, but Prince Moqing only listens to An Xin. If we send a maid, the prince will definitely refuse to add any clothes."

Daohua smiled insincerely, "Is that so? At the Prince Residence, Moqing has been very sensible, never causing any trouble with meals or naps. It’s surprising that at the An Residence he listens only to Miss An."

Upon these words, the ladies in the room couldn’t help but reveal meaningful smiles.

Old Madam An was somewhat annoyed, yet had to suppress it: "It’s because my granddaughter is more endearing and empathetic," she said, looking at An Xin.

"His Highness mustn’t catch a cold. Go ahead."

An Xin nodded and was just about to turn around when Daohua spoke again, "Miss An, the Prince Residence is quite large, so I will send a maid to accompany you to avoid taking a wrong turn by accident."

An Xin frowned slightly but expressed her gratitude with proper respect, "Thank you, Princess Consort."

Everyone watched as An Xin left and then looked at Daohua, whose complexion had slightly paled, with contemplative expressions.

...

Opera tower.

Since it was not polite to disturb the audience enjoying the opera performance, Xiao Moreng took Daozi, Prince Moqing, and a few others out to play outside the opera tower.

A group of little ones dressed in animal costumes were having a great time when suddenly they saw An Xin approaching.

Xiao Moreng frowned upon seeing An Xin; this part of the residence was meant for hosting male guests, why had the young miss of the An Family come over again?

An Xin walked up to Prince Moqing with a smile, crouched down, and said, "Your Highness, the wind outside is strong, and the Old Madam has asked me to bring you some extra clothes."

With the game interrupted, Prince Moqing, somewhat impatiently, waved his hand, "I’m not cold; I don’t need to put on clothes. You should go, don’t interrupt our game."

An Xin took a deep breath, struggling to maintain the smile on her face.

Ever since Xiao Moxi no longer visited the An Residence, her chances of seeing Prince Wang Wu had dwindled further.

If she couldn’t meet Prince Wang Wu, she wouldn’t be able to catch his attention. Without his attention, how could he consider taking her into the Prince Residence?

She was well aware that she and her half-sisters were all pawns for the An Family to pull other forces closer. If she couldn’t end up with Prince Wang Wu, the outcome awaiting her would definitely be to be casually given away to some official as a concubine.

This official could be an old man in his seventies or eighties, or maybe someone with certain peculiar tastes, a wretched person; her stepmother would not care about her fate or desires.

Therefore, she must create her own opportunities.

This time, congratulating Duke Gu Jian on his birthday was undoubtedly a heaven-sent chance to see Prince Wang Wu.

She couldn’t believe that Prince Wang Wu would remain completely uninterested upon seeing her young and beautiful self, nor did she believe that the prince truly wished to live solely with Princess Consort Xiao.

An Xin, having recomposed herself, put on a smiling face again and reached out to touch Prince Moqing’s cheek, "Your Highness, you are indeed not cold now, but the wind outside is strong, and you may feel cold later on."

"Right now, you want to play and certainly can’t be wearing too many layers. How about this: I’ll sit in the pavilion holding the clothes and wait for Your Highness. If you want to wear them, just call for me, okay?"

Prince Moqing, impatient and eager to resume playing with Daozi and others, waved his hand noncommittally, "As you wish."

After saying so, he ran towards Daozi and the others.

An Xin smiled and stood up, then looked apologetically at the maid from the Prince Residence who had escorted her, "I’m sorry, sister, but I need to wait here for His Highness. If you have other duties, please go ahead."

Having said this, without waiting for the maid’s response, she turned and walked towards the nearby pavilion to sit down.

Bi Wei frowned, but without saying anything, summoned a granny standing by, whispered a few words, and then stepped into the pavilion.

Even though Bi Wei disliked An Xin, as a guest of the Prince Residence, she dared not neglect her. Since she was facing away from the direction of the theater, she did not see Xiao Yeyang and others walking out: "Miss, please wait a moment, this servant will be right back." freewebnσvel.cøm
