Dragon?

The fourth prince clamored to find Bichun, and the palace servants immediately complied.

It was strange to say that Bichun was supposed to be waiting in front of him, but now he couldn't find anyone anywhere.

The fourth prince came to her to make tea, and also wanted to ask her if she took good care of her little brother. ——This was the one that saved his life... a divine beast.

With anticipation and timidity, the child quietly looked at the person sitting beside him.I didn't look carefully in the cave that day, but looking at him now, I think he is even more beautiful.

Coming from the countryside, but with a calm posture, he does not show a trace of timidity in this palace with many rules.

The young man's eyes were dark black, his red lips were slightly raised, and his smile was very faint.They were very close, seemingly close, but actually alienated, and he never looked at him directly.

"You don't need to look for that palace man, I'll make tea for you." Bai Qing's fingers touched the teacup.

After going back and forth, Qiao Zhi already thought that the maid who was knocked out by Qiao Dandan was the missing Bichun.

The fourth prince stared at his profile, and nodded obediently.

I thought the turmoil had subsided, but when the tea was half brewed, the palace servants outside suddenly shouted.

"Bichun is here."

The boy paused and spilled a few drops of tea on the table.

With just one glance, he knew what was going on.

The maid who was unfamiliar was being pushed into the room, her eyes were wandering, her footsteps were hesitant, her shoulders were stiffly propped by her side.

"Pfft." Qiao Zhi suppressed the laughter in his throat, his dark eyes were brightened.

Recalling that the human-shaped dragon cannot see things, he stood up and offered to help "her".

The boy in brocade clothes who was sitting on the chair moved awkwardly, the scene in front of him obviously made him uncomfortable.

"Brother, Bichun is a maid, it's a bit..."

"What?" He took the bait, and his eyes fell on the fourth prince.

—Irrelevant.

Before the child had time to speak, he caught a glimpse of Bichun's head.

"Hey! Bichun, why are you bald?" Tong Yantong said, the boy's voice was crisp and sound, and the voice seemed to have an echo, which was particularly noticeable.

Qiao Zhi really wanted to bear it, he frowned twice in pain, and when he turned around and saw "Bi Chun"'s darkened face, he couldn't bear it anymore.

"Hahahahaha..."

Laughter erupted in the room.The fourth prince knew that his words had made his little brother laugh, so he also laughed loudly.

Thanks to Bichun's shape, the atmosphere between the two is very happy.

Long heard that the two were united front, and was laughing at himself, feeling unhappy and sour for some reason.

"Bichun, come and make us tea!" The fourth prince ordered smoothly, wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

The maid came over and did so immediately.

The tea spout seemed to be used as a handle, she picked up the teapot neatly, and poured the tea down at the direction where the fourth prince was sitting.

The one who reacted the fastest was Qiao Zhi, who immediately pushed away the fourth prince's elbow.

The tea lid hit the back of his hand, and even the boiling hot tea in the pot was spilled onto his hand.

"Bichun!!" The fourth prince burst into flames, slapped the table and kicked his legs, his face full of anger.

The maid didn't seem to realize what wrong she had done, she stood up straight without fear.

"I'm fine." Putting his scalded hands into his sleeves, the young man said in a gentle voice, patted the palace maid's arm, motioning her to stand behind.

"How do you do things, you kneel to me..."

Seeing that the child was so angry that he wanted to punish her, Qiao Zhi cleared his throat and spoke before the scolding.

"Fourth prince, you came to me, presumably you didn't want to teach the servants in front of me, did you?"

The fourth prince paused for a while.

Qiao Zhi saw the timing, and quickly changed the subject: "You have something else you want to tell me, don't you?"

—Yes, I have something else to say.

The queen mother explained a lot, and the eldest uncle explained a lot, and even the emperor was very concerned about this matter.Although the little brother in front of him was in human form, the fourth prince never forgot how fierce he was when he killed the tiger.

——Little brother, it’s a dragon! !

Qiao Zhi didn't know what the child was thinking when he looked at him.

The fourth prince rolled his eyes, and his face quickly regained a look of awe.

"Little brother, I have something to tell you in a private message." The boy waved his hand, motioning for him to close his ears.

"..."

The dragon can't see it, but it can feel it.

Qiao Zhi tilted his head, and gradually got very close to the boy's aura.

Their voices were very small, their breath spilled into each other's ears, and they whispered together.

The maid's costume was really uncomfortable to wear, and even the breath in his chest became suffocated.

——Actually, it’s because I can’t see the one holding the teapot upside down, and I don’t know what happened to his scalded hands.

——Hmph, being scalded deserves it.Who told him to help, fend off that annoying kid.

"Bichun, you should step back first."

The fourth prince glanced at the maid who kept approaching them from the upper body, and ordered quite displeasedly.

Of course, Long didn't move, waiting for Qiao Zhi to stop him.

"Bichun, do I have to say it twice when I tell you?"

What made it disappoint was that until the fourth prince spoke again, Qiao Zhi still didn't move.

Long snorted coldly and walked out the door.

"Little brother, she wasn't like this before, maybe her temperament changed a lot after she got bald."

The maid who didn't understand etiquette made the child shake his head: "I will change you to a new palace steward."

Bichun's walking posture is like a man's, and his steps are breezy.When he was about to go out, he was knocked by the door frame and staggered two steps.

No one helped it, and there was an unpleasant laugh behind it...

After the door was slammed shut vigorously, the boy finally looked away.

"Please don't change, she's fine." His voice was soft but firm, and his eyes were full of seriousness.

……

"My lord, I found out. The young man's name is Su Zhi. There is no father or mother in his family. No one knows his identity and background. As you expected, he seems to have descended into the world out of thin air. There is very little information about him in the nearby market. Only people say he sometimes comes to sell things."

The spies kneeling in the hall presented a white porcelain bottle.

It contained the cold-dispelling pills that are common in the market, which were sold by "Su Zhi" a while ago.

Emperor Zheng Yang played with the ordinary porcelain vase, and felt more and more doubts: "It's strange, there are no relatives to help, where do the things for sale come from?"

"The subordinate is incompetent, and the source cannot be found." The spy buried his head even lower.

— No source?I'm afraid it's not... that "dragon" has a bit of magic that turns stone into gold.

Thinking about the scene he witnessed yesterday, Emperor Zhengyang's head hurt again.

There are such divine beasts in the world, if they cannot be used for themselves, it will definitely become a serious threat to his country.

……

Ever since the fourth prince left, the smile on Qiao Zhi's face never stopped.

The dragon's face was as black as charcoal, and when he came to lead it, it explored casually. ——There is nothing wrong with his scalded hands.

...Sure enough, thick skin is different.

When they returned to Tianming Pavilion, Bichun, who was still in charge of the palace maid, angrily dismissed all the palace servants in the pavilion.

They entered the room, once the door was closed, Long didn't even look at Qiao Zhi, turned his back to the outside, and fell straight on the couch.

With a flick of its tail, the maid's clothes flew out, and it turned back into a pink dragon.

The angry back is fat and fat.

Qiao Zhi was in a very good mood, now he came over with a smile and played with the tip of his tail.

——He cut the bald one there, and there is still face to play with!

The dragon twisted twice irritably, but didn't draw back his tail.

The bed was so small, he leaned over it, there was nowhere to hide.In order to protect the last stubbornness, Long hurriedly buried his head in the quilt.

Seeing this, Qiao Zhi smiled even more heartily.

"Come talk to me for a while, Qiao Xiaohua~~I'm very happy now." As if he couldn't feel its anger, his tone was full of intimacy.

Hearing that title, Long suddenly felt aggrieved.

——In order to deceive him, it turned into a girl... What's the point of pretending to be that little flower? !Couldn't he be so friendly with the male fourth prince? !

Qiao Zhi blinked, and the Fenlong in front of him turned into himself.

Well, a bare-bottomed and bald, myself.

The two identical faces looked at each other, speechless for a while.

His smile has not dissipated, and his eyes looking at it are still gentle and close.

The dragon can't see, all it can feel is silence.

After being bored for a long time, it finally plucked up the courage to tell him: "Huh... I'm not the mother."

"Huh?" It seemed to be a little shocked, but immediately calmed down again.

He stretched out his hand to pinch its face, and said with a smile: "Oh. Then I can only call you, Brother Qiao."

--what the hell!Doesn't it make any difference to him whether it's male or female!

Long felt distressed for a long time, and was severely fooled.

"I'm not brother Qiao, I don't take your surname! Also, I'm brother!!"

It retorted word for word, trying to provoke his anger.

"I've been in the egg for many years, much older than you! So, from now on, you have to address me as Brother Long, and I'll call you Ah Zhi! Do you understand!!"

"Well," Qiao Zhi laughed, "Okay."

——What...that's it?

Aggressive provocation hit a ball of cotton.

He accepted all its demands, but Long was inexplicably unhappy.

"Brother Long."

Qiao Zhi shouted, feeling that this title was quite easy to accept.

To him, the dragon is a dragon.Male or female, young or old, a dragon is a dragon.

"Let me tell you, hahaha, the Fourth Prince told me just now..."

He imitated the innocent and mysterious tone of the fourth prince at that time, repeating what the boy said at that time.

"Little brother, I know...you are a dragon."

Qiao Zhi snorted, his shoulders trembling with joy.I thought that seeing the dragon would bring additional disasters to the fourth prince, but I didn't expect it to be the opposite.

"He actually misunderstood me as you, presumably he told his father the same way."

The young boy's breath was hot, and the tone of his words always moved upwards, where he unscrupulously exposed his bad taste as a professional liar.

If you think about it now, it's the reason why Qiao Zhi couldn't stop laughing after saying goodbye to the fourth prince.

"I was always afraid of not being summoned by the tyrant, but they found a very good reason for me to abandon the fourth prince outside the city gate. I lied to them according to this. If I can make them continue to misunderstand like this, I will be with you." There is no danger of life. Tell them that the dragon will concentrate on cultivating in the mountains and forests, maybe they will let us go..."

Things took a turn for the worse, and he already had the optimism of a young man, so he couldn't help but think things in the best direction.

"That's good, we don't have to die, we can go out and go home soon."

His heart settled down, as if he had climbed over the cold palace wall and saw their sweet-scented osmanthus cake, their small forest, their thatched hut, their...

"My practice requires you to be in the palace."

In the end, Long still found the words that could make Qiao Zhi's smile disappear.

"If I go back to the mountains, I will definitely not be able to ascend."
