I don't want to be the favorite concubine of this palace anymore

Chapter 208 Preparing the betrothal gift and visiting the boudoir at night

An Muxi and his group had a smooth journey along the way. After all, most people didn't dare to provoke them with such a large force.

They finally arrived at the imperial capital five days later. This time, Bai Jingchen insisted on taking An Muxi back to the Ningguo Mansion.

An Muxi knew that her father and mother were very worried about her, so she agreed. An Long had to part with An Muxi reluctantly.

"Xi'er, go back first. I'll find time to visit you. I also have to go back and prepare."

An Muxi was held in Anlong's arms, as if they were parting forever.

"What are you going to prepare?"

"Of course it's the betrothal gift for the marriage proposal. It may take a few more days to prepare. Don't worry, just wait for me to come, okay?"

An Muxi hit him lightly: "Who's in a hurry? You should take care of your health first, okay?"

Dark Dragon laughed softly: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Bai Jingchen couldn't help himself and said, "Have you guys had enough of each other? Do you think I don't exist? Xi'er, father and mother are still waiting for us at home."

An Muxi pushed An Long away embarrassedly: "I really have to go back, you should go home quickly too."

Anlong watched Bai Jingchen and An Muxi enter the gate of Ningguo Mansion before leaving.

As soon as he returned to Prince Rui's Mansion, he ordered Nanny Zhao and Eunuch De to sort out the things in his storehouse and take out everything that could be used as a betrothal gift.

He rested for two days and then rushed to the palace to report the matter to the emperor and make him bleed a little.

On the other side, An Muxi was put on display as soon as she entered the Ningguo Mansion.

Mrs. Wu hugged her and cried. She felt so distressed when she saw An Muxi's thin appearance that she almost couldn't breathe.

Her daughter has such a tragic fate.

The medicinal herbs and supplements that Feng Qingyu brought this time came in handy. Mrs. Wu spent the whole day thinking about how to nourish An Muxi's body.

Early in the morning, An Muxi had just gotten up and washed up when Mrs. Wu had someone bring in some medicinal porridge.

"Xi'er, try this yam and chestnut porridge. It contains wolfberry and lily. This porridge replenishes qi and blood. You are too weak now."

An Muxi smiled and said, "Okay, mother, you have worked hard."

Mrs. Wu has been preparing different medicinal porridge and meals for her every day recently. An Muxi feels like she is about to become a baby.

But it feels good to be cared for by family.

An Muxi obediently drank the whole bowl of porridge.

Mrs. Wu then smiled with relief: "If you want to eat something, just tell me and I'll prepare it for you. You can't be so thin or you'll get sick easily."

In fact, apart from being a little thinner, An Muxi doesn't have any other problems now. She just needs to slowly supplement her diet.

She remembered that she had not yet told her family about Anlong's matter. She wanted to scare her parents if Anlong really came to their house one day.

So he pulled Wu to sit down.

"Mom, I want to tell you something."

Wu looked at her serious expression and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you so serious?"

Mrs. Wu was really afraid that something might happen to An Muxi again.

"Don't worry, mother. It's a good thing. Someone may come to propose marriage in a few days."

"What?! Who's going to propose marriage?"

Wu stood up in surprise.

There are two children in the family now. Bai Jingchen is engaged and will get married soon.

The person who came must be proposing marriage to An Muxi. Their daughter never told them when she found a man.

An Muxi didn't know what to say. In the eyes of officials' families, Anlong's identity was just like that of a gangster, nothing.

"Mom, he is a very kind person. If he hadn't sacrificed his heart and soul to save me this time, I might not be alive anymore."

Mrs. Wu finally calmed down a bit: "But this is your lifelong event, you can't be so careless. You can't entrust yourself to someone just to repay a favor."

An Muxi knew that Wu had misunderstood, and said with a smile: "I have known him for a long time, and he has saved me several times, but I agreed because I like him, not because of repaying a favor."

Mrs. Wu was still a little worried: "We still need to talk to your father about this matter and see what he says. You can't just agree to anything casually. Or let him come to see us first. We can't just agree to marry you off without even meeting each other."

Seeing that Mrs. Wu was a little excited, An Muxi felt that what Mrs. Wu said made sense.

"Okay, I'll let him come to see you. Please help me tell my father."

Wu left with a heavy heart. She wanted to discuss this matter with Duke Ningguo.

In the study, Bai Jingchen had already told the story of going to Tianqi Country to rescue An Muxi, and at the end he also mentioned the Dark Dragon.

Bai Jingchen felt that since Anlong was ready to propose marriage, he would definitely announce his identity. He should tell his parents about the proposal to avoid any objection from them, which would make everyone embarrassed.

Other families would not dare to oppose a marriage with the royal family, but his sister had been married to Li Rui once, so why was she proposing marriage again? If his father objected, the emperor might not issue an edict.

Last time, my parents said that they didn't want Xier to marry someone from the royal family.

"Father, although Dark Dragon is the leader of Shadow Pavilion, he actually has another identity."

Duke Ningguo was somewhat touched when he heard that Anlong had paid so much to save his daughter, but his identity was indeed not suitable for An Muxi.

"Oh? What other identity does he have?"

"In fact, his real identity is Prince Rui Li Rui."

"What did you say?! How could it be King Rui! How could he!?"

Duke Ningguo was also shocked. He also felt it was outrageous when Li Rui let Xier leave. After all, a woman of the royal family could not leave easily unless she died.

She is the prince's woman. Logically speaking, even if she came out, ordinary people would not dare to take her.

But Li Rui really let her leave the Prince Rui's Mansion.

Unexpectedly, he approached Xier with another identity and successfully made Xier fall in love with him.

Duke Ningguo let out a long sigh. Perhaps this was Xier's fate. She was destined to be entangled with Li Rui for the rest of her life.

"Husband, let me tell you, that Anlong is coming to propose marriage, what should we do?" Wu's anxious voice came from outside the door.

Bai Jingchen said: "Father, I will take my leave first. Please explain to mother."

These days, An Muxi has been eating well, sleeping well, and living a regular life.

When it's Xu time, go to bed on time and prepare for sleep.

Suddenly she heard three knocks on the window. She sat up, put on her outer robe, and walked to the window.

"who is it?"

"Xi'er, it's me."

An Muxi quickly opened the door. Anlong was not wearing the black suit today. Instead, he was wearing a green brocade robe and still had the black and gold mask on his face.

"Won't you invite me to come in and sit down?"

An Muxi finally came back to her senses, and she just looked at Dark Dragon strangely for a while.

"Oh, I forgot, can't you come in by yourself? Do you need me to invite you? This is not like your style."

Anlong recalled that he often sneaked into An Muxi's bedroom in the middle of the night, and he found it funny.

After entering, An Muxi closed the door, turned around and was pulled into a broad embrace.

"Xi'er, do you miss me?"

Of course An Muxi thought about it, and she thought about it every day. When she was bored, she would often think of the little things about her acquaintance with Anlong, especially the things that happened in Tianqi Country, which made her unforgettable.

"I miss you, Anlong. I miss you every day. Why did you just come to see me? It's been five days. I thought you didn't plan to marry me."

Suddenly, An Muxi heard a sound of something falling to the ground, and then her face was lifted up by the dark dragon.

Before I could see clearly what she was saying, she was cut off by a kiss full of affection.

An Muxi tried hard to open her eyes wide, but they were too close to each other, and the room was dark so she couldn't see the man's face clearly.

Suddenly she felt a slightly cool tongue sliding into her mouth, stirring up her pool of spring water. She no longer had the mind to think about anything else and her body softened.

Fireworks burst into life in her mind, and she couldn't help but close her eyes. She raised her arms and hooked them around Anlong's neck, trying hard to respond to him.
