The group's favorite little Fubao has become the most arrogant kid in the whole imperial city

Chapter 17 Kissing each other, how shameful!
Xiao Mingxuan was dressed in black, standing with his hands behind his back. His cold eyes suddenly narrowed when they passed by Xihe.

"How did it happen?"

Xiao Mingxuan pulled Xihe in front of him, picked off the straw and leaves from her hair, and there was an indelible ink color in his eyes.

Zhao Siyuan was so scared by Xiao Mingxuan's abyss-like coldness that she took a step back, but she still tried to stay strong. "This princess can go wherever she wants. How dare you, a Beili hostage, talk to this princess like this? Sooner or later, this princess will let my father kill you!"

Xihe angrily stepped forward and punched Zhao Siyuan on the forehead again, "Are you being unreasonable? My brother just said one sentence, why are you so fierce!"

The little girl looked fierce and aggressive, and had no strength at all, but she could not help but shift her position slightly and hit a certain acupuncture point directly, forcing Zhao Siyuan to retreat two steps.

Zhao Siyuan pressed his forehead in disbelief, his eyes suddenly widened, "Zhao Xihe, you actually helped him beat me?"

It looked as if Xihe was a heartless man.

"Lululu~ The royal sister is bad! Xihe doesn't want to pay attention to such a stupid royal sister."

After saying that, she turned around and floated away, running into Xiao Mingxuan's arms, "Little brother, why are you here? Did you miss me?"

Xihe's chuckle was right beside his ears, along with the hot air from her breath, which made Xiao Mingxuan feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Ahem." Xiao Mingxuan looked at Xihe's bright eyes, and moved his gaze away unnaturally, with a sudden blush behind his ears.

But in a moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he threatened fiercely: "Only ghosts miss you, I will throw you to ghosts to eat in a moment!"

The little girl immediately shrank back like a little quail, but her hand was tightly holding Xiao Mingxuan's hand, "You are definitely lying!"

Xihe has a little secret that is unknown to others, which is... she is really afraid of ghosts.

Seeing Xihe's cowering look, Xiao Mingxuan became interested. "So you are afraid of something too, huh?"

His tone rose slightly, with a faint smile at the corners of his lips.

"Shut up!" The little girl blushed immediately and kept shrinking, as if she wanted to find a hole to crawl into, but she was merciless in her mouth and bared her teeth and claws ferociously.

Good food and fun-loving.

Seeing the two of them chatting and laughing as if no one was around, Zhao Siyuan suddenly wanted to curse them.

She is still alive!
"Zhao Xihe, what are you doing? Kissing each other, how...how disrespectful!" Zhao Siyuan was halfway through his words when he met Xiao Mingxuan's murderous eyes and immediately began to stutter.

"What do you care about me? You idiot, you have been deceived yourself, and you still have the nerve to talk about me! Shame on you!" Xihe's momentum, which had been suppressed by Xiao Mingxuan, suddenly soared, and he put his hands on his hips and started to quarrel with Zhao Siyuan.

"This is not called kissing me, me, me." As she said this, the little girl grabbed Xiao Mingxuan's collar and pulled it down. The moment their eyes met, Xihe kissed Xiao Mingxuan on the cheek, "See? This is called kissing me, me, me."

After saying that, regardless of everyone's surprised looks, she hummed and nestled into Xiao Mingxuan's arms.

Xiao Mingxuan felt the warmth in his arms seemed to have increased a little, mixed with the summer irritability, rushing towards him. The soft touch on his cheek lasted for a long time, as if it was branded on the tip of his heart.

"You...you two, are shameless!" Zhao Siyuan's mouth drooped and his eyes suddenly turned red.

No matter how fierce she looks, she is still just an eight-year-old kid at heart.

I can’t beat him, I can’t scold him, I’m not going to live anymore!
Xihe wanted to continue, but found Xiao Mingxuan holding her back.

"I'm hungry." Xiao Mingxuan didn't want to waste time here. After thinking about it, he came up with the most unreal reason.

Xihe's attention was immediately drawn to him, and he quickly picked up the food box beside him and handed it over, "Little brother, eat~"

Xihe followed Xiao Mingxuan back to Mingyue Palace. When Shijian saw the young master coming back, he hurried forward to greet him, "Young master."

Then he bowed to Xihe and said, "Princess Zhaoyuan, you are here. Our young master is waiting for you..."

"Shut up!" Xiao Mingxuan shouted sternly, and Shi Jian retreated without saying a word.

Xihe's bright eyes were filled with surprise. She leaned in his arms and looked up and said, "Little brother, are you waiting for me?"

Xiao Mingxuan coughed uncomfortably, "You think too much."

"It's obvious, why don't you admit it?"

The little girl became more and more excited as she spoke, and Xiao Mingxuan glared at her and immediately shut up.

"Are you ready to eat?"

The little girl nodded like a chick pecking at rice and sat down on the chair obediently.

Seeing that the little girl didn't move her chopsticks for a long time, Xiao Mingxuan swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

The food in Mingyue Palace is not as good as that in Fuhua Palace. The little girl is spoiled and I am afraid she will not be able to eat these dishes.

"I'll ask Shi Jian to make some more. Have some pastries first."

After saying that, Xiao Mingxuan was about to get up and go out to give orders, but unexpectedly, a white and tender hand grabbed his sleeve.

There was no trace of disgust in the little girl's eyes, her innocent eyes were full of tenderness, "Little brother, do you usually eat these?"

Xiao Mingxuan didn't say anything for a long time.

The reason why we can have this table of food is because of the special favor shown by Emperor Jingyuan in recent days. If it were the case in the past, it would have been great to have had a hot meal.

"Yeah." Xiao Mingxuan nodded calmly, "If you can't get used to it, don't be stubborn. If you get sick from it, I can't afford to blame you."

Princess Zhaoyuan is the apple of the eyes of Emperor Jingyuan and Concubine Chen. The eldest prince loves her like a treasure. If she makes any mistake, he will be the first one who will not be let off.

"It's edible!" Afraid that Xiao Mingxuan wouldn't believe it, Xihe picked up the chopsticks and took some small dishes into his mouth. "Don't worry, little brother. Xihe is not that weak. I have eaten very cold meals before. It's okay."

Seeing that Xiao Mingxuan still had a look of doubt on his face, Xihe told him about the past events.

Xiao Mingxuan also picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and chewed slowly without saying a word.

After a long time, he suddenly asked, "What kind of food do you like?"

"I like so many things." The little girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and she began to count them on her fingers, "Honey pickled tofu, steamed chicken with wine, braised carp, candied water chestnuts, lotus cakes, pineapple cakes..."

Xiao Mingxuan nodded, "Eat."

Xihe didn't have much breakfast in the morning, and she had a fight with Zhao Siyuan, so she was already very hungry, but her messy hair kept swinging forward, and she got annoyed after fumbling it a few times.

Xihe stared at Xiao Mingxuan aggrievedly, "Little brother, your hair is messy."

Xiao Mingxuan looked at the little girl's messy hair, put down his chopsticks resignedly, and stood up to get a comb.

When Xihe saw this, he immediately smiled, jumped off the stool and crawled into Xiao Mingxuan's arms.

Although Xiao Mingxuan is a man, he is quite skilled in hairstyle. However, he doesn't know how to do complicated hairstyles, so he just tied two small buns.

The little girl was quiet for a while and then started to act up again, moving her little body around restlessly.

"If you move again, I'll throw you down!"

Xiao Mingxuan spoke in an unpleasant tone, but there was no bone-chilling chill in his voice; it sounded more like a joke.

Xihe suddenly became bolder, and the little ball kept moving closer to Xiao Mingxuan's arms, with his two little legs hanging down and swaying back and forth. From time to time, he would deliberately kick Xiao Mingxuan's calves and giggle.

The little girl was making a fuss in his arms. Xiao Mingxuan had a sour look on his face, but he kept tying her hair with his hands.

This scene reminded Xihe of a book he had read before.

"Little brother, do you think we look like that painting?" "What painting?" Xiao Mingxuan asked casually.

Xihe's hair was very smooth, like a loach, and slippery. It took Xiao Mingxuan a long time to tie it up, and he was so angry that he wanted to drink a few sips of tea to calm down.

"That painting also shows a man and a woman, with the man tying the woman's hair, just like what we are doing now. The book calls this..." Xihe lowered his head in thought, unable to think of a name for a long time. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, and he turned his head abruptly, looking up at Xiao Mingxuan, "I remember now, the book calls this marital interest!"

"Puff~" Xiao Mingxuan sprayed out the tea he had just drunk, and his face turned dark instantly, "Who let you read those books?"

Xiao Mingxuan asked this question almost with gritted teeth.

"I...I saw it myself."

Seeing that Xiao Mingxuan was angry, Xihe shrank back quietly, trying to reduce his presence.

The little brother is so handsome, why is he so fierce?

Xiao Mingxuan sneered, "You yourself? How old are you? Do you understand this?"

Zhao Xihe was only five years old and probably couldn't even recognize all the characters, so how could he understand that kind of thing? It was most likely some ignorant servant was reading it, and the little girl saw it by chance and wrote it down.

"Then little brother, do you think I'm right?" the little girl asked relentlessly, as if she would not give up until she got the answer.

Holding the soft body in his arms, Xihe leaned close to Xiao Mingxuan's ear, and the warm breath lingered in his ear. At the moment of inhalation and exhalation, he felt an abnormal itchiness in his ear, as if his whole body was on fire.

"Bullshit!" Xiao Mingxuan was so angry that he cursed inadvertently. Then he realized it and had a headache again.

Is Zhao Xihe born to be his nemesis?

"Brother, you are talking dirty!"

Xiao Mingxuan's head hurt even more, and he asked coldly, "Do you still want to eat?"

The little girl finally felt scared. After tying her hair, she obediently returned to her seat and concentrated on eating.

After all this commotion, Xiao Mingxuan became a little irritated and drank several glasses of water before he calmed down.

Xihe secretly glanced at Xiao Mingxuan several times but said nothing.

"Just say it if you have something to say!" Xiao Mingxuan picked up a piece of braised fish with chopsticks and put it into the little girl's bowl.

Xihe opened his mouth, but no words came out for a long time. He just glanced at the expression of the person opposite him.

"If you don't want to talk, then you don't have to keep your tongue."

Xiao Mingxuan glanced at him unintentionally, and Xihe immediately shook his head.

"Don't cut the tongue of the nest, I say!"

The little girl pouted angrily. Why was her little brother just like her tyrant father, always wanting to cut off her tongue? He was so cruel!

"That's right. I want to ask, isn't my little brother going to the National Academy? It seems that today is not a holiday."

The eldest prince was willing to go to the National Academy for his sister. He found out everything about the National Academy. It turned out that Xiao Mingxuan could also study at the National Academy.

But today he is in Mingyue Palace.

Xiao Mingxuan's hand paused for a moment, and a trace of ferocity flashed across his eyes, but it was so fleeting that it was impossible to capture it.

"I don't want to go." He spat out these three words coldly, making people clearly feel his resistance to the National Academy.

The National Academy was a place where many noble children from Tianshuo gathered. Although Emperor Jingyuan had issued an order to allow him to study at the National Academy, he was a Beili hostage, which was like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth. Most of the students took pleasure in making fun of and bullying him. Xiao Mingxuan was not qualified to compete, and he did not want to be a punching bag, so he rarely went to the National Academy.

The gloom on Xiao Mingxuan's body gradually dissipated, forcing Xihe to swallow a breath. Seeing that the chopsticks were about to be broken in Xiao Mingxuan's hand, Xihe's hand slowly moved closer, taking deep breaths continuously, and doing psychological work for herself.

Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, the little brother is a good man, Xihe, you can’t hide from him.

Finally, a white and tender little hand grabbed Xiao Mingxuan's slightly rough hand. Xihe squeezed the hand that had turned red due to excessive force and saved the chopsticks.

"Little brother, don't be angry or unhappy. Xihe was wrong. Xihe won't say anything more."

There was an inexplicable smile in Xiao Mingxuan's deep eyes. It was more like shock than a joke.

He took a handkerchief and wiped the vegetable leaves on Xihe's face.

After a while, he suddenly asked, "Are you going to the National Academy?"

Xihe shook his head, then nodded as if he remembered something.

"Are you going or not?" He guessed that the little girl had almost finished eating, so he asked someone to clean up.

"I'm going to the martial arts arena to find big brother this afternoon, but I don't want to go to the National Academy." The little girl was listless, but the moment she saw Xiao Mingxuan, her eyes lit up instantly, "Little brother, if you go, then I can go too."

Xihe hates going to school simply because it is too boring, but if Xiao Mingxuan were there, it would probably be very interesting.

"If I go, will you go too?" Xiao Mingxuan looked at him with amusement.

"Yes!" Xihe never forgot her ability to climb up the pole. Seeing Xiao Mingxuan's expression soften, she slowly moved into his arms, her eyes full of expectation, "Little brother, are you going?"

Xiao Mingxuan stared at Xihe's eyes, trying to see the familiar look in her eyes, but no matter how he tossed and turned, he still did not see the calculations and ridicule that he was familiar with in everyday life.

Xihe's eyes were very clear, like a clear spring, and one could see the bottom at a glance.

Is it because he is too good at pretending, or is it just like that?

Xiao Mingxuan couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, thinking: "The little girl is only five years old, how can she be so scheming. She really has a dirty heart and suspects that everything has ulterior motives."

This clear spring water makes people want to take it in their arms.

"If you want me to go, you have to give me some benefits, right?" Xiao Mingxuan folded his arms, leaned back lazily, and waited.

"If you go, I'll bring you cakes every day?"

Xiao Mingxuan said: "I'm tired of it."

You really think he's a pig, eating the same thing every day.

"Then I'll accompany you to study and attend class?"

Xiao Mingxuan shook his head, obviously dissatisfied, "Isn't this basic?"

The National Academy has opened a school, and everyone who goes there will attend classes together. There is no question of whether to accompany someone or not.

Xihe listed seven or eight items in total and was not satisfied with any of them.

The little girl was scratching her ears and cheeks, and the pastries in her hands were about to fall apart.

"I understand! As long as my brother is here, I will kiss him every day, what do you think?"

The little girl thought her suggestion was great, and she jumped up happily. However, she lost her balance and swayed, and was about to fall.

The next second, I fell into a warm embrace.

Xiao Mingxuan caught her, but his expression was not normal. He kept avoiding Xihe's gaze, as if he had done something wrong.

"Okay, I'll go."
