The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

Lu Xiuyuan pinched her nose lovingly, walked to the front and sat next to her on the swing, stretched out his arm and put it around her shoulders, "Younan, sing a song, I want to listen."

Xia Younan nodded, leaned her head on his shoulder, opened her red lips, and a moving melody poured out of her mouth...

Xia Younan had a faint smile on her face and was singing a melodious song. Her clear and pleasant voice seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and every word and tune was just right.

Lu Xiuyuan was so mesmerized by her voice and melody that he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Is it nice?" After the song ended, Xia Younan tilted his head and looked at Lu Xiuyuan for praise.

Lu Xiuyuan lowered his head and kissed her forehead, praising her sincerely, "Excellent, both your voice and the melody are perfect and impeccable.

"But what I like most is the lyrics of this song: 'High official position and generous salary, how can it compare to a spoonful of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar from my wife?' It is very beautiful, and it is exactly what I want in my heart."

"The lyrics of this song are also my voice." Xia Younan snuggled in Lu Xiuyuan's arms, thanking God for his blessing in her heart, "I have no other wishes in this life, but to always be by my husband's side, and be content with a simple life."

Lu Xiuyuan tightened his grip around Xia Younan's shoulders, feeling uneasy. He always felt that the peaceful and simple life he and Xia Younan had was about to end.

"who?!"

Just as the two were in love, a sweet shout suddenly broke the silence in the backyard.

The two of them hurriedly got off the swing and looked in the direction of the sound.

Qu Xiaoyou and Chanmu arrived at the back garden without knowing when. At this time, Qu Xiaoyou rushed into the rockery group nearby, and then pulled out a woman from behind a rockery.

This woman was Du Xiaoxiao, whom Xia Younan rescued on the street a few days ago.

At this moment, Du Xiaoxiao looked like a thief who had been caught doing something bad, with fear and guilt on his face, and a notebook and a small brush as long as his palm in his hands.

"What's going on?" Xia Younan asked in confusion, "Why are Xiaoyou and Senior Brother here? And why is Xiaoxiao behind the rockery?"

Qu Xiaoyou threw Du Xiaoxiao to the ground and said to Xia Younan, "Your senior brother and I came to visit you. The servants said you were in the back garden, so we came here.

"I just passed by and found this woman hiding behind a rockery and spying on you. She was writing and drawing on paper while watching. She was sneaky and didn't look like a good person, so I pulled her out."

Lu Xiuyuan frowned and shouted at Du Xiaoxiao on the ground: "What's going on?"

Xia Younan's face also darkened, and he waited coldly for Du Xiaoxiao's explanation.

Du Xiaoxiao swallowed her saliva, forced herself to calm down, knelt on the ground and explained to them innocently: "My Lord and Princess, you misunderstood me. The reason I spied on you was to prepare gifts for you."

"What kind of gift is so shameful?" Lu Xiuyuan continued to ask.

"It's like this, I've been thinking about the grace of the prince and princess for saving my life, and I've always wanted to have a chance to repay you two.

"However, I am alone, and the only thing I can show off is the painting skills I have practiced since childhood.

"I know very well that the prince and princess have a deep affection for each other, so after much consideration, I decided to draw a book about their daily love and affection and give it to them as a thank you gift."

After saying that, Du Xiaoxiao handed the small notebook she carried with her to Lu Xiuyuan and his wife with both hands.

Lu Xiuyuan took the notebook and saw that it was the size of a man's palm and as thick as two fingers.

When he opened it, he found that it was just as Du Xiaoxiao had said, with portraits of him and Xia Younan painted on every page.

In Du Xiaoxiao's writing, the two of them ate together, played together, he taught Xia Younan martial arts, Xia Younan wiped his sweat, and so on were all recorded...

I have to say that Du Xiaoxiao's painting skills are indeed superb. The expressions and smiles of the two people are all lifelike.

She didn't know when she started drawing, but she had already used up most of the thick notebook, which had more than a hundred pages, or more than a hundred portraits of the two of them.

Turning to the back, the last picture was the scene of the two of them sitting on the swing and leaning on each other. Even the tenderness in Lu Xiuyuan's eyes and the happiness on Xia Younan's face were drawn.

"Wow! Amazing, they look so alike!" Xia Younan couldn't help but sigh. She took the notebook and carefully read the moments of her past with her husband. She felt both pleased and moved.

"Your family is poor, you have no one to teach you, and you can't afford painting supplies. How come you have such superb painting skills?" Lu Xiuyuan was still a little worried and asked.

Du Xiaoxiao replied disappointedly: "Although my family was poor since I was young, perhaps because of my talent, I have been interested in painting since I was three years old.

"I had no money to buy paper and pens, so I used branches and stones to practice in the sand, or borrowed paper and pens from my friends. When I was young and ignorant, I even stole paper and pens from stationery stores in order to draw."

"It's my talent, coupled with my hard work and practice, that's how I got this painting skill. It's a pity that I was born with a miserable life, and I have no place to put my skills to good use, and I almost lost my life."

After Du Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she shed two tears, which made people feel sympathetic towards her tragic fate.

Her explanation was flawless and reasonable, and Lu Xiuyuan had no reason to doubt her anymore. However, he was still a little worried, so he asked again: "Then why don't you paint our portrait openly? Why do you have to do it secretly?"

Du Xiaoxiao replied: "I want to record every detail of your daily life, and I want the most natural effect. If I stand beside you and draw you, can you and the princess still act naturally as if no one is around?"

Lu Xiuyuan was speechless and had to admit that what she said made sense.

Just like the scene in her painting, if she was standing next to them when she painted it, then they probably really wouldn't have the heart to show affection to each other.

"You are thoughtful." Lu Xiuyuan didn't say anything else, which was considered as tacitly believing her.

Xia Younan helped Du Xiaoxiao up from the ground and thanked her a little embarrassedly: "Xiaoxiao, thank you for your painting. My husband and I like it very much."

"As long as the prince and princess like it, my efforts have not been in vain." Du Xiaoxiao nodded with satisfaction.

Xia Younan patted her shoulder, then turned to Qu Xiaoyou and Chanmu and said with a smile, "This is all a misunderstanding, let's not talk about it anymore. Xiaoyou and Senior Brother haven't been here for a long time, come with us to the front hall, we can eat and chat."

"That's right. I'll ask the servants to prepare the table right away." Lu Xiuyuan also warmly entertained Chan Mu and Qu Xiaoyou and led them to the front hall.

Du Xiaoxiao stood there and watched their backs as they left, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey!" Du Xiaoxiao was in a daze when someone suddenly patted her shoulder. She was so scared that she almost screamed.

"The third in command?" Seeing the person coming, she couldn't help but pat her chest which was heaving violently.
