Chu Qingyan closed her eyes and waited for a long time, but she didn't see the slap falling. Just when she was confused, she heard the sound of the eunuch taking a deep breath in pain.
"Brother Huang—" Xiao Ran lost his voice in surprise.
Chu Qingyan opened her eyes immediately, and met those eyes that were as moist as obsidian. Her heart had never been so grieved and sad at this moment.
"Fourth Emperor Brother, you came to my palace to beat my people?" Xiao Xu's gaze casually swept over the two eunuchs who were holding Chu Qingyan's face, and the two of them were intimidated by his cold gaze, and subconsciously let go Chu Qingyan, while the eunuch who was caught by Huo Ling covered his wrist and quickly returned behind Xiao Ran. Chu Qingyan felt that he must have done a good job, otherwise the white face would not have turned paler!
Chu Qingyan walked up to Xiao Xu involuntarily, lowered her head slightly, her eyes were full of tears, she looked like a little daughter-in-law, but she didn't say anything.
These two are brothers, but it does not mean that Xiao Xu stopped Xiao Ran from beating her just now, it proves that he will vent his anger for her, maybe it is because of his face, if it is rumored that his fiancee has been beaten, his face will be dull. So she stood by the side very wisely, but if she hadn't had so many scruples, she wouldn't suffer from this dumb loss, but after all, this person was still a child, and she was embarrassed to care so much with others!
However, Chu Qingyan subconsciously still hoped that Xiao Xu could help her breathe out, but when she realized this idea, she basked slightly, why should Xiao Xu blame his brother because of her? She is also really overwhelmed.
"Brother Huang, you don't know that this ignorant treachery has just contradicted me. He just didn't take me seriously! I just taught her a lesson!" As soon as Xiao Ran heard the elder brother speak, he knew that he wanted to protect it. This stinky girl couldn't help but feel angry, because he heard the emperor's brother scolding him for an outsider!
"What kind of demeanor does she have to compare with a girl? Besides, she only needs to put this king in her eyes." Xiao Xu sat down on the chair, his eyes were light, but he felt pressure invisibly.
Xiao Ran felt that it was difficult to refute what the emperor said when he heard it, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart. Could it be that if the emperor had this stinky girl, he would not want him as the emperor
"Brother Huang, what's so good about this stinky girl? It doesn't matter if she looks ugly, she has a bad temper and no rules, it's not worth you to protect her like this!" Xiao Ran glared at the well-behaved Chu Qingyan.
In the face of Xiao Ran's childishness, the two adults on the opposite side expressed their calmness, Xiao Xu did not change his face, and Chu Qingyan just rolled his eyes at him.
"Fourth Emperor Brother, could it be that you have an objection to the imperial edict of your father?" Xiao Xu said without any emotional ups and downs.
Xiao Ran choked. If what he said just now was passed on to the concubine, he might be criticized.
Seeing this, Huo Ling, who was standing by the side, interrupted, "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, I heard that Empress Yue Fei quite agrees with my prince and Miss Chu's marriage, and she tried her best to match it back then!"
Xiao Ran's face turned pale when he smiled and said with a sarcasm. He remembered the wedding decree that day, the smile on his mother's face, and he suddenly felt that he was not qualified to stand here with the emperor. debate.
Xiao Xu glanced at Huo Ling, who immediately stopped and lowered his head.
"Just now when this king came over, I saw your mother and concubine sent someone to look for you. It's getting late, and you should return to the palace." Xiao Xu said lightly.
Hearing that the concubine sent someone to look for him, Xiao Ran panicked for a while. He had sneaked out this time. He didn't expect to be discovered so quickly.
He glared fiercely at Chu Qingyan, "If it wasn't for the emperor's brother to excuse you, this prince would never forgive you!"
After speaking, Xiao Ran left in a hurry.
When the study was quiet again.
Xiao Xu's eyes fell on Chu Qingyan, who bowed his head obediently. Although his thin body has grown a little white and fat, in his eyes, it was still like a bamboo pole. If Chu Qingyan knew what he was thinking, It's definitely not over with him. She has clearly gained a lot of weight. The next time her parents see her, they probably won't recognize her, okay
"Aggrieved?" The tone was neither salty nor light.
Chu Qingyan didn't expect that he would ask her, so she raised her head subconsciously, but met his calm eyes, her heart trembled slightly, those eyes seemed to see through her mind, she couldn't help but look away, "Don't dare. ."
She didn't dare but didn't, it was obvious that her heart was still uneasy, Xiao Xu couldn't help but curl his lips, raised his hand to gently lift her, and in the blink of an eye, she had fallen into his arms like a feather.
Chu Qingyan didn't expect Xiao Xu to suddenly take action, and before she could exclaim, her whole body had already fallen into his firm but warm embrace. When surrounded by the scent of ink, her brain instantly crashed.
Feeling the stiffness of the person in his arms, Xiao Xu mistakenly thought that she still cared about Xiao Ran's words, and after thinking about it, he could not help but patted her on the back, and comforted a little awkwardly. "The Fourth Emperor is a child, he speaks without restraint, so don't take his words to heart."
Xiao Xu has never comforted anyone, but he has only seen his generals take children, so he imitated them to coax children. Unfortunately, he only learned the appearance, not the essence. She was almost out of place. If she hadn't heard Xiao Xu's words, she would have mistakenly thought that he was trying to vent his anger for his imperial brother.
Chu Qingyan hurriedly grabbed Xiao Xu's hand, with tears in her eyes, looking at him pitifully, "My lord, I won't worry about it, I'll just see the fourth prince walking around him in the future."
Xiao Xu thought it was his comforting effect, so he retracted his hand and nodded with satisfaction, "His temperament is like this, but he is not a bad person. If he bullies you in the future, you will bully you back!"
"He is a prince, golden branches and jade leaves, I'm just a powerless little girl, how dare I get along with him?" Chu Qingyan couldn't help pouting, her face full of depression.
"Powerless and powerless? What about this king?" Xiao Xu's tone was slightly cold.
Chu Qingyan looked at him in astonishment, hearing his tone, it seemed like she wanted to be her backer
Xu Shichu's expression of astonishment made Xiao Xu's face change, the hand around her waist tightened, and a cold aura permeated the entire study.
Huo Ling rubbed his arms and moved a few steps away without knowing it. The master seemed to be angry! He shouldn't have stayed to watch a good show just now, and he had to watch it secretly.
After spending some time with him, Chu Qingyan also figured out his temperament more or less. Seeing that the situation was wrong, she immediately stretched out her arms to wrap her arms around Xiao Xu's neck, with a look of joy, "Your Highness is a big supporter of Qingyan, really Great!"
The sudden intimacy made Xiao Xu conditioned to clench his fists with both hands to attack Chu Qingyan.
