Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

Chapter 209 Testing Wu Ma Xie

When Nangong Jingcheng stepped into the palace gate, he couldn't help feeling a strange feeling in his heart.

This palace was somewhat repulsive to him. It was eerily quiet, and there were many plants in the open space outside the palace that he had never seen before.

"His Royal Highness Feng Jun has arrived!"

As the waiter announced loudly, the entire palace seemed to be awakened.

Wu Ma Xie had just gotten up and had not yet done her makeup. Her long, jet-black hair fell on her back like a waterfall, and her peerless face revealed a hint of laziness and tiredness after just waking up.

Hearing the palace servants' report, Wu Ma Xie was slightly startled, but then he regained his composure, ordered someone to bring him a cloak and put it on, then quickly walked towards the front hall.

When Wu Ma Xie arrived at the front hall, Nangong Jingcheng was already sitting leisurely in a chair sipping tea.

Seeing this, Wu Ma Xie's heart moved, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He walked forward and said, "Wu Ma Xie greets His Majesty Feng Jun."

Nangong Jingcheng put down the cup in his hand, looked up at Wu Ma Xie, and a subtle hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes.

Nangong Jingcheng was born with a beautiful face, sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and a handsome face. His appearance was no less beautiful than Wu Ma Xie, but because he was usually serious and had a stern expression, he gave people a feeling of indifference and alienation.

Wu Ma Xie was also puzzled. He had been in the palace for some time, but Nangong Jingcheng had never summoned him.

He went to pay a visit in person, but was told that Nangong Jingcheng was not in the palace.

This man is really hard to figure out.

Wu Ma Xie's beautiful face was slightly frowned, making her look even more charming and beautiful.

He has the unique charming face of southern Xinjiang, and his gentle and soft temperament makes him even more lovable.

"I heard that my brother had come to the palace to look for me when I was not in the palace. So I came to visit you today. Come, give the gift I prepared to you, my lord."

Nangong Jingcheng waved his hand and asked someone to bring the gift up.

"Brother, I heard that this is a special medicinal wine from your Southern Xinjiang. Drinking a little on weekdays can strengthen your yang and nourish your kidneys. Southern Xinjiang only provided tribute a few days ago. I specially asked the emperor for some. I think you miss your family, so I let you taste the taste of your hometown."

Nangong Jingcheng smiled meaningfully and carefully observed Wu Ma Xie's expression.

Wu Ma Xie did not show much expression, but still gently asked others to accept the things.

"Thank you for your gift, Your Highness Feng Jun. I have already prepared a return gift for you."

Wu Ma Xie smiled slightly and spoke softly.

Then, he turned to look at the servant beside him, his eyes revealing a subtle hint of deep meaning.

The servant nodded in understanding, turned and left, walking towards Wu Ma Xie's bedroom.

Soon, the attendant returned to the hall with an exquisite wooden box in his hand.

Nangong Jingcheng took a closer look and immediately recognized what was inside - an embroidered handkerchief.

The embroidered handkerchief had delicate stitches and beautiful patterns.

"This is?"

Jingcheng asked curiously.

"This is an embroidered handkerchief from our southern Xinjiang. I embroidered it myself. I hope you don't mind."

Wu Ma Xie replied with a smile, a hint of humility in his tone.

"Brother, how could I dislike it? Such exquisite embroidery is really rare."

Nangong Jingcheng said with a smile.

"The embroidery on this handkerchief is really exquisite, but I have never seen the things embroidered on it before. I wonder what the meaning is?"

Nangong Jingcheng picked up the embroidered handkerchief and looked at the pattern on it carefully.

Wu Ma Xie chuckled, walked forward, and explained: "This handkerchief is embroidered with the sacred flower of Southern Xinjiang, called 'Mandragora'. It symbolizes love and hope. I give it to Your Highness in the hope that Your Highness can grow old with the one you love."

After hearing this, Nangong Jingcheng's face turned slightly red and he coughed a few times to hide his inner embarrassment.

"Thank you for your kindness, brother. I will treasure this gift."

As he spoke, he motioned to the servants around him to accept the gifts.

Nangong Jingcheng couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw Wu Ma Xie taking the initiative to show goodwill.

At this time, a palace maid came in with a tray with several plates of exquisite snacks on it.

"These are some snacks that I asked the kitchen to prepare. You may want to try them, brother."

Nangong Jingcheng pointed at the snacks and said to Wu Maxie.

Wu Ma Xie nodded, picked up a piece of dessert and put it in his mouth. "Mm, it tastes good. Your Highness is thoughtful."

The two of them ate snacks and chatted.

After all, Wu Ma Xie was just a hostage.

Now that Southern Xinjiang has pledged allegiance to the Ye Kingdom, how much trouble can he cause on his own?

However, Nangong Jingcheng knew in his heart that although the current situation seemed stable, no one could predict what would happen in the future.

After all, human hearts are unpredictable and things in the world are unpredictable.
