The Great Hero [Comprehensive Martial Arts]

On the night of returning to the palace, Chu Xiao fulfilled his wish and had a reunion dinner with his family.

He, the Empress Dowager, Emperor Qing, and Situ Jing, who officially confirmed her status as a princess after meeting her parents, the four of them crowded around a table like ordinary people, without paying attention to any rules, chatting and enjoying the meal Hearty meals.

The queen mother added a bowl of soup to Situ Jing, who was sitting on her left, with a smile on her face that could not see the slightest trace of time, her eyes were gentle and loving: "My good boy, if the food is not to your liking, you can tell the queen mother, and the queen mother will come down!" Let the cook do something else for you this time."

"Thank you, thank you."

Situ Jing held the bowl of soup flattered, and said, "Don't worry about it, I'm not picky about food...you can eat anything..."

"Don't be embarrassed." The queen mother blinked and said a witty remark: "Look at your two elder brothers, they are fighting each other with their mouths. Our mother and I can't lose to them."

Situ Jing was amused.

That being said, it seems that picky eaters are also a merit worthy of praise?

Emperor Qing, who was never picky about food: "..."

For the umpteenth time in my heart, I doubted whether I was my own.

To be reasonable, it is true to say that Xiaoxiao is a picky eater, but to say that he is a picky eater?He can eat steamed buns and pickles with relish, can he be considered a picky eater?I always feel that after having a daughter, his position in his mother's heart will drop again.

Although no matter how he drops—he seems to be the one at the bottom all the time?

Wronged, I have to eat a piece of sweet and sour ribs to comfort myself.

Emperor Qing, who had a sweet tooth, silently raised his chopsticks and reached for the plate of sweet and sour pork ribs placed in front of Chu Xiao.

"Wait!" Just as Emperor Qing was about to pick up the biggest rib on the plate, the queen mother sitting opposite him suddenly said: "I don't want to see how fat you have become recently. Eat meat?"

Emperor Qing who looked a little puffy because of lack of exercise: "??"

The queen mother glanced at his belly with disgust on her face: "I won't compare you with me and Jing'er, just look at your brother's waist, and then look at yourself, don't you know whether you are fat or not. "

Emperor Qing, who does have a ring of fat on his waist: ...It hurts my heart, mother.

Chu Xiao stretched out his hand abruptly, taking advantage of Emperor Qing's unpreparedness, pinched him on the waist, and then laughed out of shame: "It's really, it's all meat, you can't touch the bones. !"

Emperor Qing, who was beaten repeatedly by his mother and brother, was full of despair.

The baby just wants to eat a piece of meat, why do you want to hurt me like this?

Queen Mother & Chu Xiao: Of course it is because of love, my silly son/brother.

Seeing Emperor Qing holding a bowl of bland porridge, drinking it while staring at the sweet and sour pork ribs to satisfy his craving, Situ Jing almost laughed.

It's really miserable.

Unexpectedly, the majestic king of a country can't even eat a piece of meat at the dinner table!

Also, the little brother's habit of teasing people was originally learned from the Queen Mother?

Situ Jing really didn't expect that these royal nobles, who are considered unattainable by ordinary people, would have such an interesting way of getting along in private. Thinking that she has become a member of this family, Situ Jing suddenly felt a sense of expectation feel.

Life in the future must be very interesting.

To be able to meet my little brother and become a 'relative' with such a lovely family, Situ Jing thought, she is really lucky.

Perhaps, all the misfortunes she has experienced are the tests given to her by God, and after passing those tests, she will usher in a better future.

Since Qionghua Pavilion had not been inhabited for a long time, it would take a few days to clean up and rearrange, so that night, Situ Jing was left by the queen mother to rest at her side.

If it wasn't for the fear of the little girl's birth, the queen mother would have even wanted to drag her to sleep with her.

How do you say a word?It's hard to sleep alone. Ever since the late emperor left, the queen mother often felt empty in her heart when she lay alone on that spacious big bed at night, and she secretly regretted why she couldn't give birth to a daughter back then.

Although the son is not bad, but the daughter is even better.

My daughter can still sleep with her and talk to her in bed together!

Well, it was worth it for Xiaoxiao to go out of the palace this time. Not only did she bring back a beautiful and lovely little princess, but she also found herself a partner who was said to be talented and rich... No, wait!

Did she forget something?

Emperor Qing, who deliberately stayed on after dinner, was also wondering.

While Chu Xiao was taking Situ Jing to see Qionghua Pavilion in the afternoon, he specially ran to find out the truth with the queen mother in advance, hoping that the queen mother would unite with him and persuade Xiaoxiao to change her mind and separate from that Ye Gucheng.

As a result, after Xiaoxiao brought Situ Jing over, the Queen Mother's attention fell on Situ Jing the whole time.

Fine.

Emperor Qing said that he was not in a hurry, anyway, it would be the same to talk about it after dinner.

But when the meal was over, the Empress Dowager still didn't mention it, instead she put on a posture of disliking him and Xiao Xiao for getting in the way, and wanted to drive them away... Emperor Qing couldn't help suspecting that his mother's empress didn't care about such an important thing. Did you forget about it?

It really is.

The Queen Mother finally remembered what she had forgotten.

She remembered that her eldest son told her earlier that the younger son was looking for a man, or a man ten years older than Xiaoxiao? !

"Small." The queen mother frowned, and her expression suddenly became serious.

finally come.

Emperor Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and was ready to assist.

"Huh?" Chu Xiao, who was holding an apple and gnawing on it, looked back blankly. With his mouth full of food, he struggled to make a voice as clear as possible: "...is it swollen?"

The Empress Dowager's eyes wandered, and the fingers hidden under the sleeves couldn't help trembling twice.

Oops, the appearance of children smashing and gnawing apples is really super cute!

That white, tender, bulging little face.

I really want to pinch =v=

Seeing this, Emperor Qing, who knew that his mother's empress lacked resistance to cute things, immediately let out a heart-piercing cough: "Cough, cough, cough——"

Empress!Mother, you must hold back!Don't be fooled!

Chu Xiao: "..."

To be honest, he didn't know about it at first, but seeing his stupid brother's reaction, it's hard for him not to know.

Looking at the situation, Brother Huang is planning to lobby his mother together with his mother?

After all, the Queen Mother still held back the untimely impulse.There was no way, the eldest son was blushing from coughing, his neck was thick, and his eyes were so hot that she was not in the mood to appreciate the cuteness of the younger son.

She sighed with some regret, and under Chu Xiao's clear gaze, she said, "Xiao Xiao, tell the queen mother about the person you were looking for outside—what's his name?"

"Ye Gucheng."

"Oh, that's a pretty good name." The Queen Mother nodded and asked, "It's a man, right?"

"Ah."

Chu Xiao cheered up, and said in his heart that he was finally getting to the point. Although he was more stressed in front of his mother than in front of his brother, it didn't matter, he believed that he would be able to hold on.

He will definitely try his best to persuade his mother to accept Ye Gucheng!

"Then you two..." The Empress Dowager frowned in embarrassment, and after a short pause, she asked Chu Xiao in a heavy tone, "Which of you will go up and who will go down?"

puff--

Emperor Qing, who was drinking tea to moisten his throat, was caught off guard and spewed out a mouthful of tea.

What up and down?Is it the up and down that he understands?Is this topic a bit too shameful?No, the point is that you should be concerned about Ye Gucheng's gender!

Situ Jing who figured out the taste from Emperor Qing's reaction: "..."

Does she think she should avoid it?

However, the pure Chu Xiao didn't realize it, and asked the queen mother foolishly: "Mother, are you asking who has the right to speak when we get along?" What is up and down, it should refer to 'family status'.

For example, when my mother got along with the first emperor, it was the mother who had the most say and the highest status in the family.

The Empress Dowager smiled, with a look of satisfaction on her face.

Well, judging by the reaction of her younger son, she knew that the two of them must not have reached the final step.

From this point of view, the person Xiao Xiao was looking for was quite upright, at least he didn't just 'bully' Xiao Xiao casually because he was older than Xiao Xiao and had more experience.

But then again.

The queen mother thought, she should also find some relevant books to supplement her young son's common sense.

After all, they are all people who have a partner. Sooner or later, they have to get there and learn more things, so that Xiaoxiao will not suffer when they look back.

After waiting for a long time, Emperor Qing did not wait for the follow-up: "??"

that's it?

This is really the only thing you care about, Queen Mother?

Chu Xiao was also a little confused about the situation. Why did the queen mother show a very satisfied expression for no reason, and he obviously didn't even answer the question just now.

Emperor Qing couldn't bear it anymore, he moved to his mother's side, lowered his voice as much as possible, and reminded in a low voice: "Mother's mother, that Ye Gucheng is a man, a man, don't you have any objection?"

For example, against something?

Chu Xiao: I can hear it →_→

Brother Huang, I'm afraid you are a little itchy and need to clean up.

The Empress Dowager gave Emperor Qing a white look: "Don't you bother, Ai's family is not yet old enough to have amnesia."

Emperor Qing was very wronged.

He was obviously worried about his younger brother's future.

Why did the one who seemed to be making trouble for no reason in the end become me instead?
