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

Chapter 29 Will you join me?

Yun Hou was incompetent, and the matter of Jingjiaoying was requested by the Empress Dowager. Taking this opportunity, the jurisdiction of Jingjiaoying was handed over to Xu Qingye, the second son of the Duke of Zhenguo. The Chen family had always been close to the Yun family because of their marriage relationship. Every time Emperor Jingyuan wanted to send troops, the Ministry of War always cried poor and blocked this and that. Emperor Jingyuan was fed up with it. He didn't kill him because it was difficult to explain to the Empress Dowager.

Just take this opportunity to catch them all at once.

When it comes to military power, it’s safer to replace it with someone you trust.

Marquis Yun and Minister Chen looked pale, but as things had come to this point, they had made the mistake first, and neither of them dared to protest. They could only grit their teeth, accept the emperor's order and express their gratitude.

Yun Yao and Chen Yuanruo looked pale and desperate. Emperor Jingyuan's words of moral deficiency were enough to send them to hell.

Both of them were of high status, and seeing that the eldest and second princes were gradually reaching the age for marriage, the ladies from various families were trying their best to become the prince's consorts. However, at this juncture, an imperial decree from Emperor Jingyuan ended their dreams of becoming imperial consorts. I'm afraid that even those wealthy families would have to consider this.

Xiao Mingxuan glanced at Emperor Jingyuan who was sitting at the top of the table and lowered his head, hiding his ambiguous expression. He clenched his fists tightly, suppressing the hatred that was almost breaking through the shackles.

When the two families left with their daughters, Zhao Siyuan suddenly said, "Uncle, you should take good care of my cousin. If I hear you say it again, I promise that the whip will fall on her neck next time."

Yun Hou met Zhao Siyuan's cold eyes. He wanted to argue a few words, but swallowed them all and left with Yun Yao in shame.

Emperor Jingyuan said nothing, pretending not to see anything, and let Zhao Siyuan lecture him.

The bad guys all left, but Xihe did not forget to ask for rewards from her brothers and sisters, and said excitedly: "Daddy! You didn't see today, the third brother and the fourth sister are so handsome! The little brother is also very powerful!"

"Oh? How come they are so powerful?" Seeing that his little daughter's cheeks were red with some blood, Emperor Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Third brother kicked that guy away with one kick, and he flew very far! Fourth sister picked up the whip and beat the bad guy, so brave!" The little girl never got tired of it, flipping her palms and showing famous scenes, "Little brother is also very powerful, he stopped the bleeding for me, and when I fell into the water, he reacted super quickly! He caught me in an instant!"

Emperor Jingyuan laughed out loud and patted his little daughter's head, "Little girl, you are here to ask for a reward from them."

"Hehe, this is what daddy taught me! Merit should be rewarded!" The little girl's thoughts were seen through, and she shyly went to the arms of Emperor Jingyuan, "Daddy, don't you think this is right?"

"Little girl, you are so cute!" Emperor Jingyuan smiled and pinched his little daughter's face, then turned his gaze to the people in the audience.

He looked at Zhao Siyuan with a complicated look in his eyes, "That's your cousin, you won't show favoritism?"

Zhao Siyuan was stunned for a moment, and then said righteously, "Right is right, wrong is wrong, we cannot confuse right and wrong, this is what my father taught me."

Emperor Jingyuan's eyes softened a little, "So you still remember."

He did spoil his daughter when she was just born, but the more he got involved, the less care he paid to her, and before he knew it, the child had grown up.

Emperor Jingyuan smiled and looked at his third son who had never been very capable. "Not bad, you know how to protect your sister."

The Third Prince took the opportunity to ask, "Father, can I not copy..."

Emperor Jingyuan interrupted him, "You still have to copy the book!"

The third prince was dispirited again.

Emperor Jingyuan smiled and said, "I heard that you want the Tangquan Villa in the north of the city?"

The third prince's eyes suddenly lit up, like a pug, causing Emperor Jingyuan to tilt his head and smile.

"It's yours."

That was the private property of Emperor Jingyuan, and the Third Prince had been coveting it for a long time.

"Your Majesty, I thank you!" The third prince immediately knelt on the ground to express his gratitude, fearing that if he was a second late, his Tangquan Villa would be gone.

"As for you." Emperor Jingyuan turned his head and looked at Xiao Mingxuan, without speaking for a long time.

After sending this hostage from Beili, Emperor Jingyuan met him no more than three times in five years.

After a moment, Emperor Jingyuan said, "As long as you behave yourself, I will not touch you."

Although he wanted to annex Beili, there was no need for him to make things difficult for a half-grown child.

Emperor Jingyuan rewarded him with gold, silver and precious objects as a reward according to the custom.

Xiao Mingxuan had been keeping his head down, making it difficult to see his expression. Upon hearing this, he stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Jingyuan waved his hand and asked everyone to leave.

I thought the matter was over, but just as Marquis Yun and Minister Chen entered the palace, the imperial edict of Emperor Jingyuan arrived, revoking the imperial edicts of the female relatives of the two palaces on the grounds of poor discipline.

The imperial edict was under the control of the harem, and Emperor Jingyuan personally took charge of it, which made his attitude clear. For a while, everyone in the two palaces avoided him.

As night fell, the house was filled with gold, silver and jade artifacts sent by Emperor Jingyuan. Xiao Mingxuan picked up a porcelain bottle and played with it in his hands.

"What happened?"

A voice was heard in the darkness, but no one was seen. "My Lord, Miss Yun pushed the little princess first, and then scolded her."

"And then Xiao Xier took action?" Xiao Mingxuan was a little surprised. Was he really overthinking?

The secret guard hesitated, "Not yet. The little princess didn't want to do it at that time. Later, Miss Yun verbally insulted you, the master, and then the little princess took action."

Xiao Mingxuan paused while wiping the porcelain, and remained silent for a long while.
It's October now, and the wind in the north is as sharp as a knife, yet it seems a little kinder than in previous years.

"You continue to stay by her side, but next time you don't have to hide anymore. If anyone offends her, just kill him." Xiao Mingxuan gently loosened his hand, and the flawless white porcelain shattered, with porcelain pieces all over the floor.

"clear."

A breeze whistled past, shaking the branches apart, and a moment later everything returned to calm.

The room was silent. Half of Xiao Mingxuan's face was reflected in the candlelight. His eyelids were slightly drooped. The flickering flames flew in front of his eyes, as if they would devour him in the next second.

After a long time, a chuckle was heard, "This stupid girl is hiding this from me."

Since Xihe was injured, Emperor Jingyuan stopped her from going to school and let her recuperate in Fuhua Palace.

Every day after waking up, the little girl would nestle in Concubine Chen's arms and listen to Yun Hui's gossip.

Yun Yao suddenly disappeared, and the Yun family searched everywhere for her, and finally found her body in a dilapidated temple outside the city. It was said that the young lady of the Chen family was frightened and locked herself in her room every day, not daring to go out, and said that there was a ghost.

I don’t know if there was a ghost or not, but Chen Yuanruo scared himself to death. He became crazy and couldn’t speak clearly.

The next is Concubine Liu. It is said that she knelt at the gate of Yuanyang Palace all night. In the morning, she ran into Emperor Jingyuan who was returning from the palace. She wanted to pretend to be weak and fell into his arms, but Emperor Jingyuan avoided her, punished her for misbehaving in front of the emperor, and put her in solitary confinement.

In the name of recuperating from injuries, Xihe was also forbidden to leave the Fuhua Palace.

The little girl sighed all day long and had no choice but to bully the flowers and plants that the Vanity Palace had worked so hard to raise.

There was a problem with the palace accounts and Concubine Chen was still dealing with it, so she let Xihe go to bed first.

Just after closing her eyes for a quarter of an hour, she opened them again. Xihe got up resignedly and said, "I still can't fall asleep."

"If you can't sleep, don't force yourself to sleep." A familiar voice suddenly came from outside the window.

"Little brother!" Xihe was about to lift the quilt and get out of bed, but was held down by Xiao Mingxuan who jumped in.

"Don't get out of bed. It's cold at night."

Xiao Mingxuan covered the little girl with the quilt again, closed the window, and then slowly sat down beside the bed.

He looked up at the empty bowl beside him and asked casually, "Have you taken the medicine?"

Xihe was not good at lying. His eyes were vague and he made a silent "ang" sound.

"Nonsense again!" Xiao Mingxuan glanced at the little girl with a smile, and couldn't help pinching her cheek, then his eyes slowly turned to the potted plant on the windowsill.

He pinched some and placed it in his hand. It felt wet and slippery, and it seemed that it had been poured out not long ago.

Xiao Mingxuan was so angry that he raised his hand and lifted the curtain, which scared Yunhui who was waiting outside.

"Get your master another bowl of medicine." Xiao Mingxuan ignored the other party's jaw-dropping expression, turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something, "Get some candied fruit." Yun Hui looked like he was struck by lightning, and his whole body was light and floating, and no one knew where he was.

Damn it, why is the Ninth Prince here?
Yun Hui was still in shock until Xiao Mingxuan took the medicine.

Xiao Mingxuan took a sip first, and when he thought the temperature was about right, he scooped a spoonful and brought it to Xihe's mouth.

"Open your mouth!"

Xihe subconsciously took a few steps back, shaking his head like a rattle.

"I don't want to drink!"

When the little girl got stubborn, even ten cows couldn't stop her. She said she didn't want to drink and kept shrinking towards the foot of the bed.

Xiao Mingxuan narrowed his eyes, as if a storm was about to come.

"What? Do you still want to hit me?" The little girl raised her chin slightly, maintaining her momentum.

Xiao Mingxuan smiled sinisterly, just like a big-tailed wolf, "..."

You know what, I really want the little girl to have a complete childhood.

Xiao Mingxuan put down the medicine bowl and slowly rolled up one of his sleeves with his bony hands.

When Xihe saw this, he was stunned. "You really came! I'm injured, and you still want to hit me! You are shameless! You are mean! You have no conscience!"

Xiao Mingxuan's expression froze, and he could hardly maintain the smile on his face.

His tone was full of gnashing teeth. "Despicable? Shameless? What book have you read? You use it without knowing the meaning?"

Xihe was stunned for a moment, "Isn't that right? Then when should it be used?"

Xiao Mingxuan choked, his ears turned red, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Since kind words of advice refused to listen, Xiao Mingxuan took direct coercive measures.

He pulled the person who was hiding in the corner over with one hand, and put one arm through her armpit to hold her waist, holding the little girl tightly. He took a spoon in his right hand and scooped a spoonful of medicine.

"Open your mouth! If you don't drink it, I'll pinch your nose and force it down your throat!" Xiao Mingxuan said in a deliberately vicious voice.

Xihe shuddered, looked at the black medicine in front of him, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "Little brother, your future wife will be pissed off by you."

Xiao Mingxuan's face darkened, not knowing what the little girl was up to again. "What does this have to do with anything?"

The little girl swallowed the medicine and her face wrinkled immediately. But she said confidently, "It says in the book that when a husband feeds his wife medicine, he must be gentle and affectionate, and use kind words to persuade her. They call this... um, the joy of the boudoir!"

Bang!

Xiao Mingxuan didn't hold the bowl firmly and almost knocked over the medicine bowl.

He just snorted coldly, and listened carefully to the sound of grinding teeth, and said woodenly: "Beauty pleasure?"

Xihe nodded heartlessly, as if she had found someone with the same ideals as her.

"So you also hid some books?" Xiao Mingxuan said.

Xihe: "..."

Careless.

Xiao Mingxuan picked up the medicine bowl and passed it to Xihe's mouth, "Drink it, and I'll leave the book to you for now."

"real or fake?"

Xihe suddenly looked up, all the loneliness he had just felt was gone, and his whole face was radiant.

"Really, drink it." There was a hint of helplessness in Xiao Mingxuan's tone.

It is better to loosen than to block. Anyway, he is used to hearing those shocking words.

Xihe drank the medicine obediently, and Xiao Mingxuan stuffed the candied fruit into his mouth without mentioning the matter of collecting the books again.

"Little brother, I haven't seen you for a long time." After loosening the shackles, Xihe leaned lazily on Xiao Mingxuan's shoulder and said in a muffled voice.

The illness lasted a month, and she hadn't seen Xiao Mingxuan for a long time.

"Missed me?" Xiao Mingxuan asked.

Xihe nodded without hesitation, "I don't know when I can return to the National Academy. I want to stay with you."

Hearing this, Xiao Mingxuan paused.

"The state banquet will be held in seven days, and you will be able to see me." Xiao Mingxuan glanced at the scab on the little girl's forehead and straightened her head.

"What state banquet?" the little girl asked curiously, blinking her eyes.

"Your father's birthday party will also have envoys from Nanli and... Beili coming to meet you."

Xihe looked up but couldn't see Xiao Mingxuan's expression.

The little brother is the ninth prince of Beili.

"Little brother, are you... homesick?"

Xiao Mingxuan pursed his lips lightly, his mind wandering, and asked another question, "Xiao Xier, will you leave Tianshuo?"

Xihe blinked, not following Xiao Mingxuan's jumping thoughts.

Why did the topic suddenly turn to her?

Xiao Mingxuan's eyes were deep as he stared at Xihe intently.

Xihe couldn't help swallowing.

What's wrong with the Big Bad Wolf?

After waiting for an answer for a long time, the hope in Xiao Mingxuan's eyes slowly faded, "Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Perhaps it was because Xiao Mingxuan looked too lonely, Xihe took the lead and grabbed his hand, "Little brother, are you going back to Beili?"

A moment's stunned silence was enough for her to react.

Xiao Mingxuan left his homeland at the age of four, and it has been five years now.

Xiao Mingxuan's silence was considered as his agreement. The proton could not stay in Tianshuo forever. One day he would return to Beili.

"Xiao Xi'er, if I return to Beili, would you be willing to come with me?"

If we meet again, perhaps we will be fighting with swords.

But secretly, he didn't want to go to that extent with the girl.

Xihe stirred the thin quilt in her hands and pursed her lips, "Will I never be able to come back after I leave?"

Xiao Mingxuan was silent for a while and nodded.

The little girl's eyes dimmed, and after a moment, she shook her head and said, "I don't want to."

In Xihe's heart, the little brother is indeed very good, but her father, mother, brothers and sisters are also very good to her.

"Brother, I like you very much, but if I have to choose, I choose them."
