However, his clenched fist suddenly loosened when he met those innocent and pure eyes in front of him.
The habit developed over the years almost threw the child out, but fortunately she stopped in time, otherwise, with her small body, I might not be able to withstand his blow.
He relaxed his stiff body and held her waist with one hand to prevent her from falling. Her breath rubbed his nose, and he leaned back on the chair with a smile that no one noticed." It's good to know."
"Then can I walk sideways like a crab in the future?" Xu Shi was used to Xiao Xu's closeness to her, and Chu Qingyan seemed to have completely accepted her identity as a ten-year-old child. Busy parents leave it to grandparents to take care of her. The family is a scholarly family for generations, and her family education is very strict. Although she lived a happy childhood, she was often restrained. Her parents were not by her side, and she had no coquettish objects. She seldom enjoyed children. Childlike fun as it should be. At this time, Xiao Xu held her on his lap as a child, and the long-lost feeling filled her heart, which made her let down her guard, and she couldn't help wrapping her arms around his neck, exclaiming and laughing.
"Yes, as long as it's under the eyes of this king." Zhan Yan was innocent and made him smile slightly, but the mask covered his expression, making Chu Qingyan's view unreal.
Uh, doesn't it mean that if he leaves his sight, he will be hacked to death in minutes
Chu Qingyan swallowed her saliva, then she should still restrain herself, otherwise she would die one day if she was not under his eyes.
Seemingly sensing her thoughts, Xiao Xu couldn't help but point out her beautiful nose and said with a smile, "Have a thief's heart but no courage!"
Chu Qingyan puffed out her cheeks when she heard the words, and replied unconvinced, "If I'm not under the prince's eyes, wouldn't my life be at risk?"
"You mean that this king is incapable of protecting you?" Xiao Xu's voice was low when someone questioned his ability.
Chu Qingyan stuck out her tongue when she heard the words, and quickly replied in a good voice, "Qianyan is joking! The prince has great martial arts and great power, how can anyone dare to bully me!"
The fickle little face was always looking to please, Xiao Xu couldn't help but stretched out his hand and pinched her nose as punishment, and finally let her go and let her play in the yard on her own.
Chu Qingyan didn't understand why he didn't go with him, but he thought that there was still half an hour before dinner, and he was a prince. Even if he was ordered to rest in the mansion now, he wouldn't be doing nothing like her! So he wandered towards the main courtyard.
But as soon as Chu Qingyan left, Xiao Xu's face turned gloomy, and he called Baihu.
Bai Hu was originally busy in the front yard, but when he heard that the prince called him, he was puzzled, but he rushed over immediately.
"I don't know what the prince ordered to summon the slaves?" Bai Hu bent down, his face full of respect.
"Who is in charge of Yuxuan Academy today?" The indifferent tone was unpredictable.
Although he was accustomed to his own prince's indifferent temperament on weekdays, for some reason, Bai Hu felt that there was something unspeakably wrong with today's prince.
But he quickly replied, "It's Min Qing and Min Feng."
"Pull it down and deal with it." Xiao Xu said lightly.
As soon as these words came out, Bai Hu's body trembled slightly. He didn't understand why the prince suddenly wanted to punish the two of them. Thinking of the commotion in the Yuxuan courtyard just now, it could be that the prince was scolding them for failing to report when the fourth prince entered the courtyard.
Leaving the white tiger stunned on the spot, Xiao Xu raised his brows slightly, "Any objections?"
"Old slave doesn't dare, just do it." Bai Hu immediately took the order.
Family law disposal is not a simple punishment. Even if the Eighty Army sticks down, even if it is a strong and strong man, I am afraid that the Seven Souls will also go to the Three Souls.
After a while, there was a mournful begging for mercy from outside.
The military sticks fell one after another. Xiao Xu had been fighting outside for many years, and the people under his command were all good soldiers in the army. When enforcing the law, every stroke was not ambiguous, and the two people, Gu Rong and Gu Yi, who were standing outside the study, were facing the front of the punishment. A look of surprise appeared in their eyes.
Just because the servants did not immediately report the news that the fourth prince had entered the Yuxuan Courtyard, Chu Qingyan was almost bullied by the fourth prince, so the prince blamed these two servants
Gu Rong Gu Yi was shocked in his heart, and suddenly felt a burst of fear at the people in the house.
In fact, the two of them have already received the news of the fourth prince's arrival, and they also know the purpose of the fourth prince's visit, so with the attitude of watching the play, let's see how Chu Qingyan will be blamed for this.
After all, the two of them were sent by Queen Liang to serve the prince. Just like the queen, I hope that the prince will one day become the prince. Then Chu Qingyan, a powerless and vulgar woman from a poor family, will be rooted in the prince's political career in the future. There is no help at all, so although they usually salute Chu Qingyan, they are always perfunctory, just like the Fourth Prince incident, they are also happy to see it happen.
But they didn't expect that the prince would be sent to the people in Yuxuan Court because of this incident.
The implication of putting people in the open space in the Yuxuan courtyard is self-evident.
This is killing chickens and warning monkeys, and alerting the people in the hospital!
Gu Rong and Gu Yi felt a little chill behind their backs.
In the study, Huo Ling listened to the increasingly weak shouts outside, then turned to look at the prince who was looking at the book in front of him with a light expression, and felt a little curious. He didn't expect that the prince would be angry because of Chu Qingyan.
Maybe Huo Ling's eyes were too red and naked, Xiao Xu raised his eyebrows to look at him, "Is it itchy?"
At this time, the muffled sound of military sticks outside suddenly reminded me, Huo Ling was so frightened that he covered his buttocks and shook his head again and again!
In the main courtyard, Hong Yi and others also heard the sound of punishment outside, and their expressions were different.
Cheng Yi's jealous eyes fell through the window sill and fell on Chu Qingyan inside. I heard that Lan Yi was reprimanded by the prince because he was not serving in the study just now. The prince was obviously venting his anger for that stinky girl in the Chu family. The more angry Yi felt in her heart, she was just a stinky child, how could she be treated differently by the prince! She wouldn't let her continue to be complacent.
At this moment, Huang Yi walked in with two plates of cakes, and seeing Chu Qingyan's big eyes gazing at the room, she couldn't help but put the plate in front of her with a smile, "Miss Chu Jiu, this is four You can try the snacks in the palace brought by the prince."
"It looks so delicate, but it must not be as delicious as what Sister Huang made!" Chu Qingyan glanced at it and thought it looked good, but when she heard that it was a cake sent by Xiao Ran, she subconsciously resisted it, and praised it by offering flowers to Buddha. Went to Huang Yi.
Huang Yi was very happy when she heard it, and she had to try it, it couldn't compare to what she made herself.
Unable to hold back Huang Yi's enthusiasm, Chu Qingyan took a piece and put it in his mouth.
"How?" Huang Yi widened her eyes and waited for her to answer.
Chu Qingyan felt that this little girl was in a hurry, and was about to answer when she suddenly felt a bitter taste in her throat.
"Miss Chu Jiu!"
In the dimness, she heard Huang Yi screaming in panic, and then her eyes fell into the boundless abyss as soon as her eyes darkened.
