After the cannon fodder prince collapsed, the country will not perish

No matter how stupid Brother An is, he can still figure it out by using his brain.

Although the emperor loves Xie Qingci, there is a limit to it. If you provoke Xie Qingci with a few words, the Dong Gongwei next to Xie Qingci can be provoked. Presumably, instead of being angry, His Majesty will know that this is a good time to suppress the prince's power.

Maybe he will think that this is his birthday gift to him.

But right now, it is Xiao Di who has become the prince's bodyguard.

Whether it is for the emperor or for himself, this matter has no value that can be used.

Instead, he became a person who didn't know the severity and made a big fuss about His Majesty's birthday.

Brother An could see a trace of boredom flashing in His Majesty's eyes, and he immediately turned cold and dared not speak any more.

This is not how it should be!Brother An bitterly thought——

It's Xiao Di!

If it hadn't been for Xiao Di's action, Dong Gongwei would not be able to stand it any longer sooner or later. As long as they stepped forward to stop him, it would be a chance for his family and His Majesty to have a good understanding and make meritorious deeds...

But right now... the little beast threw himself into the water in front of everyone, but all he got was punished by kneeling for several hours.

Brother An's eyes overflowed with hostility.

This matter cannot be revealed so lightly!He will make the traitor pay the price!

At this time, Xie Qingci walked down the bridge, knelt down to greet the emperor and wish him a birthday.

The emperor glanced at Xie Qingci, and said: "Your man attacked Brother An at my birthday banquet, and I punished him to kneel outside the hall for three hours. Qingci has no objection, right?"

Hearing this disposition, Xie Qingci breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, father, for your kindness."

Xiao Di stood aside coldly, obviously discussing what to do with him, but he remained expressionless and silent.

Also, what can the current Xiao Di defend in front of the superiors?Others suffered minor injuries, and the price he paid might be half his life. Today's result is already the emperor's mercy.

But he struck anyway—like a colt defending his territory.

Xie Qingci raised his eyes to look at the back of Xiao Di who turned around.

The hall is lively and warm, the gentle sound of silk and bamboo rippling like water, but Xiao Di's back is like a lonely wild pine growing on the cliff, as if he is in two worlds with the people who come to celebrate his birthday.

The spring breeze here is warm and lively.

In his world, the weather is cold and windy, and not a single blade of grass grows.

Only he is alone.

"Father..." Xie Qingci looked at Xiao Di's back as he was about to walk out of the hall, and suddenly turned his head: "It is my fault for not disciplining Xiao Di well. If he commits the following offense, Father is already merciful, and I have no face to ask for it." Forgiveness, it's just that - he also acted for my son, the palace banquet... has not yet begun, my son will go outside the palace to reflect on himself first, and then come to the emperor's knees to have fun."

Xiao Di paused, then strode forward again.

Xie Qingci wanted to follow regardless of the occasion?

At this time, according to his past temperament, shouldn't he show favor and act like a baby in front of his emperor's father?

Actually... want to go outside the palace with him?

Isn't it... ridiculous to do such useless things?

Xiao Di's face was cold, but he couldn't help but clenched his palms tightly.

On the empty bluestone tile floor outside the main hall, the two stood and knelt down.

Xiao Di glanced at Xie Qingci, and as expected, His Highness's body was swaying under the sun, and it seemed that he was about to lose his footing.

Where is he such a troubled person?

Kneeling for three hours, even if the old injury on his leg has not healed, Xiao Di gritted his teeth and would not feel uncomfortable, but seeing Xie Qingci standing up reluctantly at this moment, anxiety welled up in his heart.

"Can't stand anymore? What's the use of you and me except to ask for trouble?" Xiao Di's tone was still cold: "Your Highness, please weigh the pros and cons before doing something next time."

"You still come to teach me how to do things?" Xie Qingci was not annoyed at all, and turned his head to look at him: "Then tell me, what good will it do you if you take action against Brother An?"

"you……"

Xiao Di held back for a while, but had nothing to say, turned his head away, and simply ignored him.

At that moment, he couldn't even think about the benefits, the killing intent surging in his heart was hard to control, and he wished he could step forward and tear people apart.

The little highness next to him seemed to see his thoughts, and chuckled lightly.

Like the willow branches blowing through the clothes in the spring breeze, it is so soft that it makes people feel nostalgic.

The people who should come have already arrived, the royal road is very clean, except for the guards outside the hall, there are only two of them.

Xie Qingci lowered his eyes, and his mood gradually calmed down.

"Hey, this bluestone slab is cold and hard, doesn't it feel good?" Yan Ming brought a few brocade-robed youths from An's family over purposely, and looked at Xiao Di mockingly: "The injury on his leg is healed, and you dare to eat it again?" Show off in front of Grandpa?"

A chuckle sounded, and Xie Qingci taunted: "Yan Ming, you should tell yourself this, why? Your neck doesn't hurt anymore, and you forgot the lesson you learned?"

Yan Ming dared to provoke Xiao Di only when he relied on the emperor's punishment - he didn't dare to attack even if he tried.

But who would have thought that when Xie Qingci told the embarrassing thing, his face immediately disappeared.

"Your Highness...Qing Ci!" Yan Ming's eyes widened: "Don't you like to bully this little white-eyed wolf with me the most, and even said that you will make him suffer even more after entering Beijing. What are you doing now..."

Xiao Di's brows moved slightly, and his ears pricked up.

"Why am I the same as you?" Xie Qingci couldn't say that the plot was running on his own, so he could only bite the bullet and explain: "I messed around before, it was a young and ignorant joke, Yan Ming, do you really want other people's lives? You It's about to be crowned, can't you tell right from wrong?!"

Xie Qingci couldn't understand why the plot was set up in such a way, and the explanation was not convincing at all.

But he didn't notice that the usually cold eyes of the person beside him were overflowing with tenderness.

Xiao Di thought it all out immediately.

Xie Qingci was still young at that time, and he was innocent and arrogant, so what's the point of kicking him twice and punching him twice?

How can I compare the true temperament of the little highness with Yan Ming, a vicious and secretive beast?

Looking back now, Xie Qingci's two punches didn't hurt at all, it was like a little kitten scratching his paws, they were so soft.

Xiao Di recalled that feeling, instead of being annoyed, he slightly raised the corners of his lips.

Seeing Xiao Di's smile, Yan Ming's face was distorted with anger, and he stepped forward and said, "Hmph! If it wasn't for His Majesty's birthday today, Xiao Di, you would have died a long time ago!"

Xie Qingci immediately responded with a few words to Yan Ming.

I never thought that the little highness seemed to have no sharp edge, but he was articulate when quarreling, and he didn't lose at all.

Xiao Di lowered his eyes, and deep in his chest, where the spring breeze was relentless and already stiff, soft vines slowly grew, pulling and wrapping his beating heart.

In the main hall of the birthday banquet, the prince Xie Huayan suddenly stepped forward, and said that Brother An's surprise was also related to the excessive number of guards in the East Palace on the bridge.

The emperor was naturally overjoyed, his son was so considerate that he chose the best birthday present for him.

After the joy, looking at the quiet side face of the eldest son, he sighed secretly, but guilt surged in his heart.

The eldest son is dignified, strict with self-discipline, respectful and respectful to both the king and father, and he is also considerate of others since he was a child.

So... is it because my father is too harsh?

Xie Huayan sipped the wine in his glass lightly, but Xiao Di's appearance flashed in his mind.

Everyone went to rescue Brother An, but he stood coldly on the bridge, as if he was aloof from the matter.

Seeing himself approaching, he lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, this matter is aimed at you."

"Rather than letting others take action, it's better to ask for dismissal." Xiao Di is still indifferent to an outsider: "There are always people who don't follow the rules in the Donggong Guard, and it is a good thing to dismiss them personally."

"This is also His Highness' wish for His Majesty's birthday."

A few words that seem unintentional, but they can see people's hearts clearly.

Xie Huayan lowered his eyes thoughtfully.

Seeing Brother An's troubles, he also had guesses, but in just a short moment, Xiao Di was able to turn his defense into an offense, using this to let him eliminate the eyeliner planted by others in the East Palace Guard, and control the situation in one fell swoop.

Xie Huayan was greatly surprised by Xiao Di's calculation of people's hearts and his control over the situation.

My little brother has always been a pure-hearted wolf cub, so I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse?

Outside the hall, Yan Ming and Xie Qingci sneered at each other for a while, but they left angrily without getting any advantage.

Xiao Di looked at Xie Qingci.

If there is no Xie Qingci, I will bear all this in silence. He is withdrawn and arrogant by nature, and has always dismissed these barking, but today I realized that it is a lot of trouble for someone to stand by his side and drive away those hateful people. pleasant thing.

His Highness stood there, sharing the ridicule and ridicule with him, trying his best to protect him.

It shouldn't be like this.

Xiao Di clenched his fists, and once again the hostility like ice blades rose from his eyes.

Those dogs are not worthy of barking in Xie Qingci's ears.

He is above all else.

Protect the arrogant little highness beside him who can't bear hardships.

Xiao Di knelt on the brick floor outside the palace, the sunlight slanted, elongating the boy's shadow.

Several palace people walked over surrounded by an inner eunuch who held a drunk boy of twelve or three in his arms.

It is the king of Chu.

The King of Chu listened to Yan Ming's urging and left the hall, and saw Xiao Di really kneeling on the ground, struggling to get down.

"There is still sand and gravel on the blue brick floor!" The eunuch who was holding King Chu kicked the stones and persuaded, "Our little Highness's feet are going to be worn out!"

"This king is going to come down! Who dares to stop him!" Taking advantage of his drunkenness, King Chu shouted domineeringly, and jumped from the eunuch's arms to the ground.

The king of Chu knew that Xie Qingci was pampered, so he followed suit. He was 13 years old this year, and he let the eunuch hold him in his arms.

Seeing this scene, Xie Qingci couldn't help but frowned, he was in poor health, so he had to be hugged for a while.

The King of Chu was not very old, but he had a savage and arrogant temper.

Will it be abolished in the future?

Before Xie Qingci could speak, a sharp sandstone came with the wind and kicked Xiao Di's knee accurately and fiercely.

Xie Qingci knew that his leg was still injured, and his heart twitched.

The king of Chu stood not far away with an arrogant face, kicking small stones under his feet: "Third brother, I heard that you came outside the hall just to accompany this little white-eyed wolf, and you are arguing with Yan Ming because of him?"

Xie Qingci frowned, he knew how much Xiao Di would take revenge, and the king of Chu didn't know which muscle was wrong to touch Xiao Di's bad luck...

Xie Qingci looked at his younger brother and said coldly: "Xie Rong, your legs and feet hurt when you walk?"

Xie Rong raised his chin to look at him: "Yes!"

Xie Qingci said: "If you kick a stone on someone's knee, won't it hurt?"

"Him? How does he compare with this king?" King Chu looked contemptuously at Xiao Di who was kneeling on the ground, staggered and said, "It's the father's kindness to save his life. What's wrong with this king letting him hurt?"
