Rumor Has It That I'm Pregnant with His Highness' Child

195 When Had He Suffered Such Humiliation?

After breakfast, the next morning, Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan prepared to go to the Justice Department.

Before leaving, Yu Niaoniao especially got someone to bring her little donkey over.

The donkey’s fur had been carefully combed and looked glossy.

On its back was a cushion made of small floral cloth. A cloth bag had been made on each side.

!!

A rein was put around its neck. On closer inspection, one could tell that the clamp rope was actually woven from a colorful rope.

Xiao Juan had never seen such a fancy donkey and could not help but ask.

“Are you really going to ride it to the Justice Department?”

Yu Niaoniao nodded as she stroked the little donkey’s head.

“That’s right. From now on, it’s my exclusive mount!”

Xiao Juan asked again, “Aren’t you taking the carriage? We haven’t finished the snacks in the carriage.”

His words reminded Yu Niaoniao. She slapped her forehead. “Oh, right! There are snacks!”

She immediately threw the donkey aside, picked up her skirt, and ran quickly towards the carriage. She climbed into the carriage on all fours.

Seeing this, Xiao Juan was very satisfied. It seemed that he could continue to ride in the carriage with Niaoniao.

Unexpectedly, in the next moment, he saw Yu Niaoniao come out of the carriage.

She jumped down from the carriage with two heavy snack boxes in her arms.

Xiao Juan asked her what she was doing.

She opened the box and poured all the snacks into the cloth bag on the donkey’s back. Then, she stuffed the empty boxes into Xiao Juan’s hand and said contentedly.

“This way, I’ll have snacks on the way!”

Xiao Juan was speechless.

This was not what he had expected.

Yu Niaoniao mounted the donkey and held the reins. She shouted excitedly.

“Charge, my Baby!”

Xiao Juan was speechless.

He thought he had misheard. “What did you shout?” he asked before he could stop himself.

Unfortunately, he was too late.

Yu Niaoniao had already run out on her donkey and did not hear his question at all.

Meng Xizhou came over to remind him, “The carriage is ready and can set off at any time.”

Xiao Juan said, “I’m riding a horse today.”

Meng Xizhou realized that the county prince was not in a good mood, but he did not dare to say anything or ask anything. He quickly turned around to prepare the horse.

Soon, Xiao Juan caught up to Yu Niaoniao on his horse.

Xiao Juan glanced at the little donkey under Yu Niaoniao and deliberately urged the Dark Cloud under him to approach the little donkey. Even though the donkey had been dressed up carefully, it was still far inferior to the tall and strong warhorse.

At this moment, the two of them were in the same frame, making the donkey look even shorter and smaller. Gray clearly didn’t like the big guy beside him.

It turned to look at Dark Cloud. The donkey opened its mouth.

He ~ tui!

Spittle flew to the foreleg of Dark Cloud.

Xiao Juan was speechless.

This donkey was quite arrogant.

Dark Cloud had experienced hundreds of battles and was a famous colt in the world. He was also a famous figure in the horse world. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?

It was immediately furious. It stopped in its tracks and barked at the donkey, looking like it was about to rush up and fight at any moment.

Yu Niaoniao was originally looking at the breakfast sold at the roadside stall when she suddenly heard a commotion. She was shocked and hurriedly urged Gray to take a few steps to the side.

Xiao Juan also gripped the reins tightly to prevent the Dark Cloud from approaching the donkey.

When Yu Niaoniao asked what was going on, Xiao Juan pointed at the spittle on Black Cloud’s front leg. “Your Gray did it.”

Yu Niaoniao frowned and reprimanded the donkey under her.

“Baby, how can you just spit? It’s wrong, do you know?”

When Xiao Juan heard her call the donkey Baby, the corners of his mouth immediately lowered.

The donkey was clearly unconvinced. It snorted through its nose, very much like a sneer.

Yu Niaoniao jumped off the donkey’s back.

She used a handkerchief to wipe the spittle from Black Cloud’s leg. She took a malt candy from the bag and fed it to him.

With good food, Dark Cloud’s anger immediately decreased.

It smacked its lips and snorted at the donkey, then turned and walked away.

It was as if it was silently telling the other party, “I won’t lower myself to your level!”

When Gray saw its master giving the annoying horse food, it immediately rubbed his head against Yu Niaoniao’s arm and kept yowling.

Yu Niaoniao was helpless. “Alright, alright. This is for you. Don’t be naughty in the future.”

She took out another malt candy and fed it to Gray.

...

Gray was instantly satisfied.

Yu Niaoniao returned to the donkey’s back and rode on. She did not forget to hum a tune.

“I have a little donkey. I never ride it. One day, on a whim, I rode it to the market. I had a little whip in my hand. I was so proud!”

Along the way, many citizens in the city saw Duke Lang riding to the Justice Department.

This was originally nothing special.

But today was different. There was a young and beautiful girl beside him. The little girl was neither riding a carriage nor a horse. She was actually riding a little donkey.

On the left, Duke Lang was riding on a horse. His posture was tall and straight, and his aura was awe-inspiring. He exuded an aura that kept people away.

On the other hand, the little girl on the right sat on the donkey’s back and swayed her legs. She hummed a tune and occasionally took out fruit from the cloth bag and popped it into her mouth.

This contrasting style could not help but make people take a second look.

Some sharp-eyed people recognized that the girl was the Princess Consort of Lang!

How could a dignified county princess be reduced to riding a donkey?

...

Could it be that the County Princess had angered Duke Lang after their marriage and was despised by him?

If that was the case, the County Princess was too pitiful.

Just as everyone was secretly criticizing Duke Lang for being too heartless, they saw the County Princess reach out and hand over a walnut.

She pouted and said, “This is too hard. I can’t open it. Help me.”

In the next moment, everyone watched helplessly as Duke Lang reached out to take the walnut. He crushed the shell with one hand and said coldly to the little girl beside him.

“Hand.”

The little girl immediately extended her little claws obediently.

The man released his well-defined fingers, and pieces of walnut fell into her palm.

The little girl smiled until her eyes curved, and two shallow dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth.

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

The entire process was smooth.

Both of them moved and reacted naturally.

It was as if this was what often happened in their lives.

However, the citizens of the Imperial Capital who witnessed this scene were shocked.

Immediately, one rumor after another spread quickly in the capital.

“Shocking! This was how Duke Lang interacted with the Princess in private…”

“Help! Duke Lang and the Princess Consort were showing off their affection again!”

“I don’t believe it! The murderous Prince Lang has been reduced to an emotionless walnut-smashing tool!”

and a series of subsequent discussion topics.

Such as how to open walnuts with one hand suavely?

Someone keenly grasped the business opportunity and summarized a set of techniques for opening walnuts with one hand. It was printed into a book and sold out as soon as it was released.
