Our villains don't want to be stepping stones

As the son of Sikong, he is enlightened and ambitious.

Besides, Qiao Shuang was his younger sister, so how could he not know that the one she liked was never him.

Chapter 406, I wish you happiness

"It's time for you to come back. I'm planning to go to the national teacher's house to propose marriage in the next few days."

Xia Feng smiled lightly, and patted Sikong Hui on the shoulder.

"Brother Hun, on the day of the wedding, you have to come with me to greet the bride."

"What did you say, brother! This is what I should do!"

The three turned around and walked towards the imperial city.

On both sides of the ancient street, countless people of Great Xia applauded and cheered like a grand ceremony.

Especially at this time, Sikong Hun, surrounded by Xia Feng and Qiao Shuang, attracted the attention of countless people.

"Do you think... General Sikong and Miss Shuang'er are more suitable?"

"You don't want to live anymore!! If the eldest prince hears this, you will be wiped out!"

"How could it be, the eldest prince is gentle by nature, how could he take his anger out on me because of a joke? I hope the three of them can be as close as they are now!"

"That's right! If so, my Great Xia's national fortune will surely prosper."

"Ha ha."

Hearing what passers-by said, Sikong Hui immediately shook his head and smiled, then turned to look at Xia Feng, "Brother, you don't mind?"

"How could it be! I regard you as my younger brother, and Shuang'er is your sister-in-law. It is true that they are intimate!"

Xia Feng smiled lightly, his eyes clear.

Beside Sikong Hui, Qiao Shuang lowered her head shyly.

It wasn't until the three of them arrived at Zhenyuan Bo's mansion that Xia Feng stopped, "Brother Hun, when you return to the capital this time, you must be promoted to a higher rank. You should go back to the mansion to rest first. The emperor ordered me to wait for the banquet to be arranged. Master Clan celebrates with you."

"Okay! Brother! Then I'll go to see my father first, and we won't return until we're drunk at night."

Sikong Hui bowed and saluted. At this moment, Qiao Shuang suddenly pursed her red lips, "Brother Feng, I may not have seen Uncle Sikong for a long time. You don't mind if I go to visit his old man with Brother Hui?"

"I don't mind! Of course I don't mind! You and Brother Hui will come to Yunmeng Fairy Tower that night!"

Xia Feng chuckled, turned around and left.

From the beginning to the end, there was no gloomy look on his face, it seemed that he really didn't mind Qiao Shuang and Sikong Hui's closeness.

In the realm, Ling Xiao frowned slightly.

Is this Xia Feng really innocent, or is he not in love with Qiao Shuang?

Doesn't he know that there is something more delicious than dumplings in this world?

Your daughter-in-law has gone to someone else's house, how can you still hold your breath like this?

Interesting, it seems that I have to give you something exciting.

But before that, Ling Xiao still felt that he should try him first to see if he knew the secret of his demon body in the last life.

"Frost!"

It wasn't until Xia Feng walked away that Sikong Hui smiled gently, and stretched out his hand to rub Qiao Shuang's black hair habitually.

"I haven't seen you in three years, and you've grown into a big girl."

"Brother Hun, you can't touch me like this anymore, otherwise if someone else sees it, it's easy to misunderstand... At that time..."

Qiao Shuang's face was flushed, as if she wanted to hide but was reluctant.

"Oh, I forgot, you are my sister-in-law now."

Sikong Hui smiled wryly, and withdrew his hand, looking a little lonely.

Xia Sheng's lineage, even though they are princes, did not dare to get too close to the National Teacher's Mansion before, so as not to arouse Xia Yong's suspicion.

Therefore, the one who was really close to Qiao Shuang when he was young was indeed Sikong Hui.

But at that time, the Sikong clan was not high-ranking and powerful, but Qiao Yunli was already a national teacher.

In his heart, Sikong Hui felt that he was not good enough for Qiao Shuang.

But now, the new emperor has succeeded to the throne, and the Sikong clan has made great achievements in protecting the dragon, and it has just become the most prosperous clan in the Great Xia.

The beauty is still the same, I am successful and famous, but... I love her so much that I can't express it, she has become my sister-in-law!

I'm sorry!

But up to now, Sikong Hui has been relieved.

Xia Feng is upright, low-key, and talented, and he is better than Sikong Hui in every aspect.

Shuang'er, it's worth it.

"Sister-in-law? Brother Hun, do you really think so?"

The corners of Qiao Shuang's mouth seemed bitter, but Sikong Hui's silent heart suddenly rippled inexplicably.

"Recently, the news that you returned to the imperial capital was sent back, and many people with good intentions began to spread rumors, saying that you...have a wound in your heart, so you choose to go to the frontier to conquer. They said...that you have always been interested in me...is it true?"

Qiao Shuang gritted her teeth tightly, rubbing the corners of her clothes with her jade hands uneasily, looking nervous.

"Nonsense!! This is simply a rumor! Whoever said it, I will kill him all over the house!! You regard you as a sister and the eldest prince as a brother. I am happy from the bottom of my heart, so why am I sad? talk!!"

Sikong Hui looked very excited, and his voice was full of anger.

And Qiao Shuang just looked at him calmly, and finally smiled and nodded.

But the inadvertent sadness in her eyes instantly made Sikong Hui's heart tremble again.

What happened to Shuang'er today?

How can you be happy for a while and feel lost for a while?

Also, did I say something wrong?

Why... there is some loneliness and bitterness in her eyes?

"Brother Hun, I wish you can find a real marriage."

In the end, Qiao Shuang didn't say anything more, there seemed to be sadness between her brows, and she walked towards the outside of the mansion.

"Shuang'er? Shuang'er?"

The more Sikong Hui shouted, the faster Qiao Shuang walked, and finally covered her red lips with one hand and ran away.

"Shuang...er..."

how come?

What is a true marriage?

What happened to Shuang'er?

Could it be... Xia Feng treated her badly?

"Hun'er, are you back?"

In the distant hall, there was a sudden cheer.

Immediately afterwards, a majestic imperial prestige filled the air, and the figure of Zhenyuan Zhongyi Bo Sikong Yu swept from the void, looking at the young man in front of him with gratified eyes.

"Huh? Hun'er is not happy?"

Just seeing the gloom in Sikong Hui's eyes, this important minister who is now in full swing in the summer suddenly frowned.

"Father! I'm back!"

Sikong Hui bowed and bowed, while Sikong Yu waved down a ray of spiritual light, covering the entire mansion.

"Hun'er, can we talk now?"

"Father, what do you think of the First Prince?"

After all, Sikong Hui hadn't returned to the imperial capital for three years. Back then, he and Xia Feng met on the battlefield, killed the enemy together, experienced life and death, and became irresistible.

Can…

If he really owed Qiao Shuang, he would naturally not allow it.

"Eldest Prince? Xia Feng?"

Sikong Hui's eyes sank, and a wave of momentum unconsciously emanated from his body, like a turbulent river and sea, shocking the sky.

"This son... has a very deep heart. I think that Daxia will fall into his hands in the end. Hun'er, I know that the two of you have a deep friendship, but how can a king and an emperor have sincere friendship with you? It's just coveting the current status of our Sikong family."

Sikong Yu took a deep look at the young man in front of him, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder lightly.

"My son is still young, so you don't need to think about some things for now. Xia Feng took the initiative to befriend you, which proves that our Sikong family is strong. As long as we are strong enough, the royal family will not be afraid."

"Father means that Xia Feng wants to use the power of our Sikong clan to ascend the throne?"

It was very inexplicable, but a trace of complicated emotions suddenly appeared in Sikong Hui's heart.

"Otherwise, why do you think that he ran all the way to the frontier and appeared in your army by such a coincidence? When you joined the army, I spent a lot of money to keep this secret, in order to let the emperor see your general talent. "

Sikong Hun sneered, the emperor's mind, how could he not see through it after he has been an official for a hundred years?

Those who are emperors study the way of controlling people.

As an official, what he studies is naturally the way of life.

This is the difference between the court and the Zongmen. Strength is indeed the foundation of standing at the top.

But if you want to achieve eternal supremacy, you must...understand people's hearts!

"Father... what if... I don't want Xia Feng to be the crown prince?"

There was a sudden coldness in Sikong Hui's eyes.

Chapter 407, A Banquet

"Huh? Hun'er...what did you say?"

Sikong Yu frowned, and looked at Sikong Hui in disbelief.

"Hun'er, you have to know that the empress's two sons are very powerful in the court, and you and Xia Feng are closely related. It is no secret in this imperial capital now. It would not be wise for you to vote for a new master at this time. Besides...if Xia Feng gets the help of the national teacher...I'm afraid it will be the crown prince..."

"Hehe, father, I'll just ask casually."

Sikong Hui nodded and smiled, only then did Uncle Loyalty's face soften a little.

How could he not know that for the Sikong clan, helping Xia Feng achieve the throne would be a great contribution from the dragon.

No matter how strong the Sikong family is, it is still under the imperial power.

Especially now, Xia Sheng's lineage has stolen the country, and there is no background at all.

If his Sikong family can help Xia Feng ascend the throne, it will become the background in the latter's hands.

The world can't conspire, but... the name of the first family under the imperial power is enough for the Sikong clan to prosper for hundreds of years.

"You have just come back. Recently, major events have happened frequently in the imperial capital. There is even news from the palace that a big man has arrived, but his identity is extremely mysterious. You must not provoke him, otherwise the Sikong family will be destroyed."

Sikong Yu ordered a few words, removed the spiritual curtain on the top of the mansion, and then walked towards the hall.

"Big man?"

Sikong Hui raised his brows lightly. Could it be that someone from Zhongjiang could be called a big shot by his father?

into the night.

In the east of Longyun City, in front of a magnificent ancient building.

The sons of countless aristocratic families and important ministers gathered in front of the building, with respectful expressions and excited eyes.

Seeing this scene, many people in the surrounding city had a look of shock on their faces.

The one who can make these domineering princes so humble must be the princes in the palace.

Sure enough, when the figures of the three princes of Daxia came from the street, the Tianjiao hurried to meet them, bowing down to flatter them, with a servile look.

Of course, most of the people who are arrogant at this time are the second prince Xia Cheng and the third prince Xia Li.
