Second update ~

☆★☆★☆★

West of the city, King Xiao’s Mansion.

It was already the third day, and it was late at night, and the lights were brightly lit in a warm pavilion east of Prince Xiao’s Mansion.

Prince Xiao was sitting next to the mahogany carved redbud book case, holding a cup of the colorful small kiln bell in his left hand and drinking tea casually with his own heart. He held the lonely book in his right hand and looked at it carefully.

The door was knocked out of the door three fast and three slow. The latest chapter of the Knights of Honor was heard.

Prince Xiao didn't even raise his head, "Come in."

Then the red painted wooden door was pushed open, and a man in a black golden robe walked in from outside, which was Xiao Qi.

"Father." Xiao Qi approached and greeted him respectfully.

Prince Xiao put down the tea bowl and flipped through a page of the book, but didn't even look at him.

Xiao Qi just stood there and didn't speak.

Time passed by minute by minute, and a thick layer of candle wax had accumulated on the bronze candlestick, and the book in Prince Xiao's hand also turned to the last page.

The wind blew gently outside the window, causing a cool breeze.

Finally, he closed the book and looked up at Xiao Qi, "Did you know you're wrong?" His voice was terrifyingly cold.

Xiao Qi's legs had already become numb, but his face was still firm. "Chen Zhongling can't marry into the royal palace. Even if he does it again, I will do this."

"Chen Zhongling cannot marry into the palace, but I have my own way, and you don't need to interfere." Prince Xiao stared at him coldly, "Do you know if the emperor found out who shot the arrow, all his efforts would be in vain? You shouldn't be so reckless!"

"The emperor can't find out." Xiao Qi's voice was faint, but he had an indescribable confidence.

Prince Xiao hummed, "It's better!" and said, "And Lin Wu. Please be careful with me, don't be unable to catch the fox and make you slut out of your body!"

"I was negligent today, and I will never see you again." Xiao Qi knew that he was in the wrong and consciously admitted his mistake.

"It's good to know that you're wrong. You've caused a lot of trouble in the palace today. The emperor must have a headache for a while, which is enough." Prince Xiao understood the truth that too much is not enough and told Xiao Qi, "You don't do anything recently. Also, you are not allowed to learn kung fu anymore. The arrow shooting eagle today almost saw the clues. The prince Xiao's mansion has me who can do force. With your second brother, you just need to be your romantic young master."

He was just used to do things for them and should not overtake the "master".

Xiao Qi's knuckles turned white, but he bowed his head and said word by word: "My son is obeying the teachings of his father."

"Yes." Prince Xiao nodded and waved his hand, "Go down and see your second brother. You haven't returned home recently. He has been muttering."

Xiao Ming, the second son of the Prince Xiao’s Mansion, was a genius boy who was once famous in Kyoto. He was able to write literature at the age of three, martial arts at the age of five, and knowledge of various books at the age of seven. He was praised by the world as a child prodigy that was rare in a century. There were even rumors that the empress dowager intended to let the emperor make him the crown prince.

Xiao Qi has lived under Xiao Ming's halo since he was a child. No matter how hard he made, he seemed so small and insignificant in front of this shining younger brother.

Even Prince Xiao and Princess Xiao both loved Xiao Ming unscrupulously and ignored his existence.

He was once innocent and ignorant, and used all means to attract the attention of Prince Xiao and Princess Xiao, thinking that as long as he worked hard enough, he would definitely be loved by his father and mother. He even gave up on himself and attracted their attention in a rebellious way.

Until that year...

It was not until that year that he realized that everything he did was just a joke.

A big joke.

Xiao Qi stepped into the yard where Xiao Ming lived, and a maid led him into the inner room.

There was a fragrance of medicine floating in the room for many years, and a thin boy sat on the large red sandalwood carved bed in the center, through the layers of curtains. It was not very real.

"Is it my elder brother here?" The young man noticed it as soon as he stepped into the house. He pushed away the hand of the maid who was feeding him medicine, and asked the queen of the choir through the curtain.

Xiao Qi calmed down his thoughts and responded faintly, "Yes."

He walked to the edge of the bed a few steps and glanced at the boy inside, "Father asked me to see you."

"Cough cough." Shao Youth coughed twice, looking extremely fragile. He gasped and said, "It's just that I haven't seen my elder brother for a long time, and I miss you a little."

Xiao Qi pulled the corners of his lips and did not reply.

Although Xiao Ming was so stunning and talented, he was not perfect. When he was ten years old, half of his appearance was burned by a sudden fire, and his body suffered a great loss. He needed to rely on medicine to survive.

It was only after that that Xiao Qi finally received the attention of Prince Xiao and began to train him seriously and teach him knowledge.

But at that time, Xiao Qi was no longer an ignorant child, and he would not be grateful to Prince Xiao for this.

He studied hard, not for others, but for himself.

He deeply understood a truth: only when he is strong enough can he stand firm in this world and do not need to rely on anyone.

He is Xiao Ming...

It cannot be said to be hatred, love, and even more so, family affection.

Maybe, just a little sympathy.

I sympathize with him that he is the only person he doesn't want to plot.

"Brother, you haven't returned to your house recently. Where have you been?" Xiao Ming asked with a cough again.

Xiao Qi replied frivolously: "I'm in Zuihua Building."

Zuihua Tower is the largest and highest-end brothel in Shengjing. The girls inside are all understanding and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. They are the best choice for many high-ranking officials, nobles, romantic and happy.

Xiao Ming's ears turned red by his unconcealed words. He started living in a closed-door life at the age of ten and didn't know what it was. However, he had read some books and understood some things about men and women.

He knew that Xiao Qi was very romantic and knew that he had a bad reputation in Shengjing, so he had not been able to marry his wife until now.

He was not in a hurry. Xiao Qi was too cold. He could not feel the warmth of his brother in him. In order to take care of him, his father and mother never had children. He hoped to have a gentle and beautiful sister-in-law so that he would not be too lonely.

He once heard Xiao Qi accidentally mention a woman from Zuihualou and asked subconsciously: "Have you been with Sister Mo Shuang all the time?"

Xiao Qi raised his eyebrows and refused to comment.

Xiao Ming said, "If the eldest brother likes Mo Shuang, what if he wants to marry him back to the house? Although she is not a high status, as long as she is truly in love, she will not be afraid of anything."

Although Xiao Ming was extremely smart and helped Prince Xiao make suggestions on political affairs, he finally had less contact with the outside world and still stayed in the view of love in poetry and writing, as pure as a piece of paper.

True love? Xiao Qi couldn't help but want to laugh. What is that?

"I won't marry Mo Shuang. She has a more important role. It would be a pity to marry me." Xiao Qi replied casually, and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you wait too long. I have found a candidate for you."

"Who is it?" Xiao Ming was curious.

Xiao Qi bent his lips and refused to answer, "You will know soon."

Xiao Ming asked again, but when he saw that he still didn't say anything, he had to give up.

After Xiao Ming finished drinking the medicine, the maid brought a plate of candied fruit. He stuffed one into his mouth, and picked up another for Xiao Qi's martial arts promotion master.

Xiao Qi frowned, "I don't like to eat these girls' things."

Xiao Ming had no choice but to stuff it into his mouth and said happily: "It's very sweet, I'm not lucky."

Xiao Qi: "..."

The two of them talked for a while, and Xiao Qi was about to say goodbye and leave. He lifted the room through the curtain. Princess Xiao, wearing Xiangfeng Cloud shoulders, cross-sleeved sleeves, knitted golden knees, and stood on the collar and long coat.

Her beautiful and delicate face was originally full of smiles. When she saw Xiao Qi, she was stunned at first, and then her face turned cold, "You know you're back too!"

Xiao Qi spoke lightly, "Mother." He pretended not to hear her questioning.

Princess Xiao still had a bad expression. She was wearing a phoenix on her clouds, spreading her wings and golden steps, shining under the candlelight, just as cold as her eyes.

"Since you don't have this family in your eyes, why are you going back? Do you think Xiao Wang Mansion is a flower market, you can come as you want and leave if you want?"

This is really not like what a mother said to her child, but Xiao Qi has long been used to it.

Xiao Ming stood up and rescued, "Brother is going to do business for his father. I know, but I just didn't hide it from my mother because I was afraid that my mother would worry."

Princess Xiao snorted coldly, "What can he do with this little ability? I'm afraid he went to the brothel and tavern again! Ming'er, don't talk to him. It is because you often plead for him that he becomes more and more arrogant." She spoke to Xiao Qi, so her tone was cold, but her eyes were towards Xiao Ming, with countless gentleness.

"What my mother taught me is that if there is nothing else, I will go back and reflect on it." Xiao Qi responded expressionlessly.

"There is no cure." Princess Xiao laughed disdainfully and left with him.

As soon as Xiao Qi left, Xiao Ming couldn't help but say, "Mother, why are you always so strict with your elder brother?"

"You don't understand." Princess Xiao had already changed into a kind look, walked to the bed and sat down, and took his hand and said, "In the mind of my mother, you are the most important thing. Don't worry, my mother will definitely find someone to cure your face and body, so that you can walk out the door with glory."

Xiao Ming's body trembled, a little excited and a little sad.

He had already had enough of his six-year sickbed career. He wanted to accept the enviable eyes of everyone as before.

Instead of being sympathetic like now.

Everyone thinks that the eldest brother is incompetent and not as smart and capable as him, but he doesn't know how envious he is to live a carefree and carefree life.

As long as he can make him well, he is willing to sacrifice anything...
