Xia Chu was forced to retreat by Xiao Mubai, and he stumbled and pressed his back against the cabinet.
Xiao Mubai pressed his palm against the cabinet next to her cheek, and leaned forward, trapping her in the cabinet and his arms.
Xiao Mubai lowered his head, their breathing seemed a little anxious, and their lips and nose tips were almost touching.
"Brother, I just saw this scene in a storybook..." Xiao Muhong walked up to him at some point and stood between the two of them, looking left and right with a confused look on his face.
Xia Chu lowered her head as low as she could, and heard Xiao Muhong's voice pleading for her: "Brother, what does that have to do with her? Have you misunderstood?"
Xiao Mubai looked at the blushing Xia Chu and said in a joking tone: "Why don't you ask her?"
Xiao Muhong stepped forward and got close to her face. After Xia Chu was approached by her, he lifted her shoulders with skillful hands and put her aside.
Xiao Muhong shouted, "I know."
Xia Chu was startled, and suddenly raised his head, and then thought that no matter if she discovered him, it would be a bit hard for him to say anything.
Xiao Muhong walked to Xiao Mubai's side in a few steps, held his arm with one hand, and pointed at her with the other hand: "She, she! She is..."
Xiao Mubai nodded and was about to respond to her words.
"She is my sister-in-law, right? Brother, did you bring your sister-in-law to see me specially?" Xiao Muhong raised her fair face and smiled proudly.
Xia Chu and Xiao Mubai looked at each other, with a somewhat stunned look on their faces, and then they both raised their hands to their foreheads, feeling a little headache.
"Is that so?" Xiao Muhong wanted to tiptoe to his ear and ask, but she couldn't reach it, so she had to tug at the corner of Xiao Mubai's clothes.
Xia Chu was really uncomfortable with the blunt knife cutting her flesh, and her mood fluctuated with her words. She simply gritted her teeth, took a few steps forward, took her hand, and rubbed her head: "You still don't recognize me? ?”
Xiao Muhong was stunned by her familiar movements and Xia Chu's deliberately louder voice. She reacted after a moment, her eyes lit up with joy, and she threw herself into her arms.
"Brother Chu, you are really good at disguising yourself as a man..." Xiao Muhong smiled, her hand touched a soft spot, her face froze, and then she stepped back a few steps, pointing at Xia Chu who had already walked aside and sat down. Xiao Mubai, who was watching the show, asked, "Is she really a woman?"
Xiao Mubai happily started eating the melon seeds she had before, and took a moment to nod: "What you said before is correct, she is indeed your sister-in-law."
Xia Chu looked at his leisurely appearance and asked him a soul-searching question: "Are you still a human being?"
Xiao Mubai smiled at her and stretched out his hand, only to see that a handful of melon seeds had been peeled in his palm.
The corner of Xia Chu's mouth twitched. How could she be in the mood to eat now? After rolling her eyes at Xiao Mubai, she saw Xiao Muhong rushing over and snatching the melon seeds from his hand, complaining: "I have grown so big, and I can't I saw you peel it off for me to eat."
Xiao Mubai smiled lovingly and nodded her forehead: "From now on, I will ask your sister-in-law to peel it for you to eat every day."
Xiao Muhong ate the last melon seed kernel. When Xia Chu was still staring at the two siblings, she waved to her: "Sister-in-law, why don't you come over and peel the melon seeds for me?"
Xia Chu was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked over. He was flattered and peeled the melon seeds while tentatively saying: "Honghong is so generous, please forgive me."
Xiao Muhong curled her lips: "Since she is my sister-in-law, what else is there to be angry about? Besides..."
She paused and waved to Xia Chu. Xia Chu hurriedly approached her. Xiao Muhong said close to her ear: "He's almost grown and there's no girl around him. My mother and I are afraid that he'll fall in love with her." man."
As Xia Chu burst into laughter, Xiao Muhong was hit hard on the head by Xiao Mubai. She bared her teeth in pain and cried to Xia Chu: "Sister-in-law, look at him..."
Xia Chu slapped Xiao Mubai back with his hand. Xiao Mubai was stunned on the spot. Xiao Muhong's mouth that had just been flattened also froze. She stared at him warily for a long time and saw that he didn't get angry or fight back. , and even touched the forehead that was knocked by Xia Chu with a little embarrassment.
Xiao Muhong's buttocks were next to the stool. She raised her hands and moved to Xia Chu's side. She raised her chin towards Xiao Mubai with a stern look on her face: "I have a sister-in-law here. Isn't it the same..."
Xiao Mubai glanced at her coldly, and she immediately tugged on Xia Chu's sleeves. Xia Chu raised his eyes and stared back, saying with displeasure, "What are you doing? Don't scare the child."
Xiao Muhong became hardened in an instant. She put her hands on her hips and raised her head. Suddenly her eyes flashed and she asked Xiao Mubai: "Sister-in-law is only one year older than me. Why do you want her to look at her more?" , wouldn’t it be appropriate to buy it for me to watch?”
Xia Chu paused while peeling the melon seeds, and retorted in a low voice: "I didn't buy it, I asked Raven to buy it..."
Xiao Muhong didn't notice that her words were getting softer and softer, and she continued to raise her chin towards Xiao Mubai in a pretentious manner: "That doesn't matter, you gave it to me anyway."
Xia Chu stood up quickly, stuffed a handful of melon seeds into the mouth of Xiao Mubai, whose face was dark and was about to speak, and said softly with a flattering smile: "We will stay in Yongxin Palace in the evening, and we will finish our meal with our mother and concubine before leaving. Bar."
When Xiao Mubai heard the word 'mother concubine' in her mouth, his eyes narrowed, and then he curved his lips and said, "Okay."
When Xiao Muhongjing and the others said this, they also jumped for joy. After such a interruption, they forgot about the original story. Instead, they remembered what Xia Chu had said before about taking her out of the palace to play, so they pulled her and asked: "Now my brother You’re back too, why don’t you go out after eating tonight?”
Xia Chu looked at her watery eyes with hope. Although he couldn't bear to refuse, he couldn't take her out of the palace right now, so he could only coax her in a gentle voice: "After Prince Yu gets married, you should go too." Wear a nice outfit and follow your brother to show off your power."
Xiao Muhong pouted, but she relaxed for a moment. Anyway, Xiao Yanjun's wedding was the day after tomorrow, not a few days away. She chewed Xia Chu's words, raised her head and frowned and asked: "That day, you won't go ?"
Xia Chu sighed, she was thinking about it.
It's a pity that I can't go...
Xiao Mubai and Xia Chu stayed in Yongxin Palace until very late, and then resigned from the palace.
At the same time, Xiao Zimu, who had returned to Yongning Palace, sat in the room all day long. After being fed decoction and sleep by Xin Ya, he did not recover as before as the imperial doctor said. Instead, he was bedridden. The second I didn't even want to go to the morning court.
Xin Ya had no choice but to ask for leave for him...
