Come on, Your Highness

With wet hair on his head, Xiao Hong waited in front of the screen with an apologetic smile on his face, and there were two words written on his entire forehead - it's over.

Xiaoxuanzi waited on He Xichao to change clothes behind the screen, while Xiaodunzi stood aside, passing a handkerchief in from time to time, and glancing at his highness quietly.

It capsized!

What did you do to capsize the ship?

His Royal Highness wouldn't be the overlord who insisted on bowing, but regretted that the young master refused to obey, and the ship capsized due to disputes, right?

I deliberately found such a small boat, and the boatman didn't bring it with me, and there were no waiters, and I went to the place where the lotus bushes couldn't be seen, obviously I wanted to do something that was out of courtesy.

Although Xiao Dunzi felt that his highness was obedient to He Xichao like a dog, he didn't have the courage to force him regardless of He Xichao's wishes.But Xiao Hong, who has been a young chicken for 20 years and has been holding back until now, can't help it, can't control it, he must want something!

Thinking about it this way, it's really possible!

Xiao Dunzi looked at Xiao Hong's eyes instantly changed. When the latter rubbed his hands in circles with a guilty expression on his face, he had already imagined the scene of the domineering prince robbing by force and the weak scholar fighting with his life.

In the end, he couldn't help muttering: "That's too beastly..."

However, no one spoke in this room, and all three of them heard him in an instant.

Even the rustling sound of changing clothes behind the screen fell silent.

Xiao Hong stopped directly and looked at Xiaodunzi inexplicably.

Who is a beast?

Xiaodunzi and Xiaoxuanzi had been by Xiao Hong's side for a long time, so they were a little courageous.

Thinking about what He Xichao has done for Xiao Hong, a weak scholar has to leave Beijing to go to the windy and sandy Western Regions, while Xiao Hong wants to stay and ask to marry the princess...

Under such circumstances, how can you do such a thing?

It's so disrespectful!

Xiao Dunzi couldn't help defending He Xichao, so he mustered up the courage to look back at his prince accusingly, and said, "Your Highness, how can you mess around? What if you hurt Master Xichao when you are still on a boat?"

Who messed up?

Xiao Hong's eyes widened, and he felt that he had died unjustly!

He just wanted to kiss, lie down and take a nap together, he didn't dare to do anything!

It was someone... Xiao Hong blushed when he thought about it.

Why are you so bold?

"Chi..." A low laugh suddenly came from behind the screen, and then He Xichao turned out from inside, and glanced at Xiao Hong: "A beast?"

Xiao Hong: "..." He was so wronged.

However, under the accusatory gazes of the two servants, he couldn't tell the truth, so he nodded depressedly: "I'm sorry, aren't you hurt?"

"Well, I forgive you." He Xichao said with a smile, his face not red and his heart beating.

As soon as this remark came out, the two servants looked moved.

Master Xichao is so understanding!

In fact, in terms of skin, your Highness is really no match for this weak scholar.

Although the whole process was a mess, but this afternoon, He Xichao was quite happy.

Instead of taking a nap in the sun on the boat, they simply slept in Xiao Hong's bedroom all afternoon.

Accompanied by the person you like, sleep without dreams, only to wake up and find that it is time to light the lamp.

"Xi Chao, are you awake?" Xiao Hong asked with his bright eyes open, judging by the look on this person's face, he must have been awake for a long time.

He Xichao leaned forward and kissed him and asked, "What time is it?"

"It's time."

He Xichao was startled: "It's so late, why didn't you call me?"

"You sleep soundly, how can I give up." Xiao Hongxin said that he couldn't get enough of this sleeping face, he could stare at it all day, "Are you hungry, Xi Chao?"

"hungry!"

Dinner was ready long ago, but seeing no movement in the room, no one came to bother.

Now as soon as the call is made from inside, they all come to the table.

Xiao Hong eats everything deliciously, and with He Xichao's company, his appetite will be even better if he eats extra meals.

While eating, he put vegetables into He Xichao's bowl, muttering in his mouth: "Xi Chao, you are too skinny, I don't have any meat in my arms, eat more."

Xiao Hong's eating speed couldn't be matched by He Xichao. The latter ate a mountain top in the bowl with all his strength, and soon Xiao Hong's chopsticks came down, tremblingly full again.

In the end, He Xi rounded his stomach, but his bowl still didn't bottom out.

"That's enough, what are you feeding the pigs?" He put down his chopsticks and stopped eating.

"Your appetite is too small."

But even though he said that, Xiao Hong still served him a bowl of soup, and He Xichao drank it one bite at a time, feeling satisfied.

Then he asked Xiaodunzi who was serving at the side: "Has Ah Fu been here?"

Xiao Dunzi said: "I came half an hour ago, but you and His Highness are resting, so you didn't let him disturb you."

"Call him here."

Xiao Hong looked at He Xichao wonderingly, but the latter drank the soup and said nothing.

After Ah Fu came, he said: "Young Master, just after You Hour, someone from the He Mansion came to report that Master Mingrui had looked for you."

Xiao Hong was surprised: "He Mingrui?"

"Yes, he also asked the young master when he will return home and if he will return today."

He Xichao nodded: "Continue."

A Fu said: "According to your account, the concierge said that you will go to the morning court tomorrow, and generally you will not stay outside, but His Royal Highness summoned you. I am afraid that you will go back later today. I am not sure. Ask Master Mingrui if you want to stay Wait in the mansion, you can see your wife first."

"What is he doing here?" Xiao Hong asked.

He Xichao said, "I'm here to ask for peace."

"Hasn't it already been made clear?"

"I want him to kneel down and make amends in public, but he is unwilling, but he is also afraid that I will really attack him, so he has no choice but to come to me in private to see if there is room for negotiation and to retain that poor self-esteem."

He Xichao asked Ah Fu while talking, "What about people now?"

A Fu said: "Master Mingrui hesitated for a while, and then left. However, he didn't go directly to Wei Guogong's mansion, nor did he go to the Princess' mansion. Instead, he found a restaurant and went to drink."

When Xiao Hong heard it, he was surprised and asked: "Xi Chao, did you send someone to follow him?"

"That's right." He Xichao admitted generously, "I agreed to kill him, so naturally I have to track down his whereabouts."

It seems reasonable, but Xiao Hong was a little puzzled: "I've been wanting to ask, only half a month, how do you plan to deal with him? Use the Xishan paddock?"

"What's the use of old things?" He Xi rolled his eyes at him, "Everyone is married to a princess, please help me, nothing will happen."

"Then what are you going to do, you have other reasons for him?"

"I dug a hole for him." He Xichao drank the last sip of soup, "Actually, I don't care whether he kneels down or apologizes. If he really repents, he won't jump into this hole, so I will Spare his life. Otherwise..." His eyes darkened when he said this, "No one can save him."

He Mingrui knew very well that his life was almost ruined.

But this is not ruined by oneself, but because of one person.

He hated He Xichao to the bone marrow. When he was a child, he could rely on his background to suppress him. However, as he got older, he realized more and more clearly that he was no longer able to compete with this person.

The wisdom bestowed by the heavens did not rest on him, but made He Xichao spring up like mushrooms after a spring rain. Whether it was status or fame, he rose steadily to a height that he couldn't reach no matter how hard he tried.

Under the torment of jealousy, he became beyond recognition.

But the cold reality forced him to bow his head again.

After weighing the two sides, in the end he still forced himself to go to the He residence, bowed his head to He Xichao, and begged him.

Deep down in his heart, he still hoped that He Xichao would hold his hand high, looked down on him as before, and didn't bother targeting him.

He was so painful that he wished he could die.

But the ants are still alive, let alone him?

The Second Madam sent someone to pass the bad news to him. Wei Guogong already knew about the Xishan paddock, and now he is waiting for him in the mansion.

He Mingrui never thought he would be so dazed today, as if there was no place for him in the world.

Back to Duke Wei's mansion, what awaits him is a cold ancestral hall and a scolding meal.

But this time, even if it was his wife, Princess Danyang was unwilling to plead for him one after another.

The princess of the royal family has a noble status, but is difficult to serve. Even when facing her husband, even if she is not bossing her around, her words are condescending.

He Mingrui coaxed him carefully many times, but he was not happy anymore.

He drank to soothe his sorrows in the restaurant until late at night, when the shopkeeper carefully signaled that he was going to close a few times, and then he came out dizzy.

There were hardly any people on the street at the moment.

The servant held the inkstone to support him and asked, "Master, are you going home?"

"Which mansion are you going back to?"

"Guogong Mansion"

He Mingrui waved his hands and said, "Don't go back!"

"Then why don't you go to Princess Danyang's mansion?"

He Mingrui tilted his head and seemed to think for a while, then laughed and sprayed alcohol at the inkstone: "Let me see her face and listen to her taunts? You are so brave!"

Peng Yan groaned secretly in his heart, but he had no choice but to accompany him on the street aimlessly.

At this moment, the sound of horseshoes and wheels came from behind, and Peng Yan hurriedly took him to the side to hide.

When the carriage passed by them, the window suddenly opened, revealing the people sitting inside.

"Master, it seems to be Master Xiaohe."

Hearing this, He Mingrui raised his head, he shook his head, and removed the double image, and he saw He Xichao's face.

The early summer night was still slightly cool, cooling down his mushy head a little.

He Xichao seemed to have seen him too, but he didn't stop the carriage, and put down the curtain indifferently.

He Mingrui just stared blankly until the carriage gradually left.

I only heard Peng Yan sigh with emotion: "His Royal Highness really attaches great importance to Lord Xiao He, and even sent Deputy Commander Huang to escort him back."

The military commander of the Prince's Mansion is also an official of the fourth grade, Huang Qi is only half a rank lower, and usually follows Xiao Hong in and out, and ordinary ministers have no time to curry favor, let alone escort an official home late at night.

He Mingrui was silent for a while, then pushed away the inkstone, and ran forward stumblingly.

"Master, where are you going?"

Holding the inkstone exclaimed, and when he was about to follow up, he heard He Mingrui shouting: "Get lost, don't follow me!"

One is the prince's favorite minister, who returns home late at night to lead the escort, and the other is a homeless drunk who can lose his life at any time.

He Mingrui looked at the carriage, and felt infinitely sad and bleak in his heart.

What right does he have to bargain with He Xichao, the other party crushing him to death is really like crushing an ant!

Forget it, just kneel, now that even Wei Guogong knows what good things he has done, what is there to be afraid of?

Thinking of this, He Mingrui suddenly felt great courage, he was going to tell He Xichao that he agreed to this condition!

He wants to live!

With bright eyes, He Mingrui stumbled along the way.

It's not far from He's mansion, when He Mingrui arrived, the carriage just stopped at the gate.

He was thinking about going there, but suddenly realized that the person who got out of the carriage was not He Xichao, but... Xiao Hong.

Immediately, his footsteps stopped, and after Xiao Hong jumped off the carriage, he turned around and stretched out his hand to help the frail He Xichao, his movements were extremely gentle.

And He Xichao's servant, Ah Fu, stood beside him, without any anxiety or embarrassment, and just let the dignified prince do his duty as a matter of course.

The guards at the side, even the coachman, and even the vice-commander Huang all acted as if they were used to it, consciously waiting aside.

It's so late, it's okay to send Huang Qi to escort, but Xiao Hong actually came in person, and he is so attentive!

For some reason, seeing this scene, He Mingrui suddenly felt a little strange.

By accident, he subconsciously hid in the side alley, hid at the corner, staring at He Xichao and Xiao Hong intently.

His heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and even he himself couldn't tell what he was looking forward to.

He watched He Xichao and Xiao Hong standing at the door talking for a while, and then He Xichao lifted up the skirt of Xiao Hong's clothes smoothly.

That movement made He Mingrui's eyes open, but then, Xiao Hong grabbed He Xichao's hand and put it to his mouth... kissed...

At that moment, He Mingrui's mind was blank, but his face was flushed red.

He leaned against the wall, panting heavily, and slowly his expression was filled with joy that was close to madness.

He felt that God really opened his eyes once, allowing him to discover such a big secret.

He covered his mouth to prevent excited laughter.

Any apology, any begging for mercy, go to hell!

Xishan paddock can't kill him, but this secret can send He Xichao directly to hell!

Who should forgive whom?

"Master, what are you doing here... um..."

He Mingrui covered his mouth holding the inkstone, motioning for him not to make a sound.

He looked back and saw that Xiao Hong had bid farewell to He Xichao and got into the carriage.

"Go, go back to the mansion." He Mingrui smiled coldly, and left quickly before the carriage came here.
