Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Zirong argued: "No, it's been so long, why are you talking about it again!"

Xiao Xuexing said coolly: "I didn't say it before because I was worried that someone would take advantage of it."

Xiao Zirong explained seriously: "No, even without Mu Lin, I wouldn't make it easier for them that night."

Xiao Xuexing sneered: "Still protecting?"

Xiao Zirong looked desperate: "It really has nothing to do with him, I even asked someone to bring the dagger in because I wanted to make use of it."

At that time, he didn't even think about the rituals before the soldiers, he just wanted to establish his prestige quickly.

He is young and not aggressive in appearance, if people think he is a soft person, there will be more troubles in the future.

What's more, such things as courtesy before soldiers are for civilized people of the same class, and it is useless to do this with soldiers.

Xiao Xuexing said "Well", and didn't say whether he believed it or not.

Xiao Zirong leaned over to carefully observe his expression, Xiao Xuexing gave him a cold look: "What are you doing?"

Xiao Zirong asked: "Aren't you happy? When did you become so suspicious? And you don't believe what I say, I'm going to make trouble."

Xiao Xuexing lowered his eyes and said, "Send people away."

Xiao Zirong blinked: "Mu Lin?"

"What else? There are others?"

Xiao Zirong immediately tightened his skin: "No, no, just send him away. I'll send him to another Zhuangzi to head office, right? Well, I basically don't go to Zhuangzi."

Only then did Xiao Xuexing pinch the back of his neck and said, "Be good, don't make me worry."

Xiao Zirong was so pinched by him that his whole body softened, and he leaned on the table and said: "You are making a fuss over a molehill, and it's not a big deal at all, just let me send him away, it's fine, it's such a big circle , You scared me away even when I was drowsy."

Although Xiao Zirong often didn't use his brain very much when facing Xiao Xuexing, he could still see such a simple causal relationship.

Xiao Xuexing turned over old accounts with him and finally came up with one sentence: Send people away.

It was only then that Xiao Xuexing was convinced that he had no idea about Mu Lin at all, and then he said with a smile: "I should scare you, lest you become lawless in the future."

Xiao Zirong smacked his nose at him and made a piggy face. After finishing, he remembered that he was in the carriage and had nowhere to run, so Xiao Xuexing dragged him back and beat him twice.

After the fuss was over, Xiao Zirong lay on Xiao Xuexing's lap and half-closed his eyes, looking at the occasional lights on the car wall, his heart was far less relaxed than he showed.

He has no ambiguity with Mu Lin, it's just a little suspicious, and Xiao Xuexing has been nagging him so much. It can be seen that any parent will not want his son to like a man.

And he not only likes men, but also likes his brother-in-law.

This was simply a double thunderstorm. If Xiao Xuexing knew about it, it might be more than just a beating.

He thought of that dream again, closed his eyes, and decided that even if he brought this secret into the coffin, he would not let anyone know.

Xiao Xuexing lowered his eyes to look at Xiao Zirong, who seemed to be asleep, and saw his water-like black hair covering half of his face on his back. Hands to play.

He knew that Xiao Zirong had nothing to do with Mu Lin, but he couldn't help but want to drive away everyone around Xiao Zirong who might have unreasonable thoughts about him.

It's just that Xiao Zirong doesn't care about Mu Lin now, so he can achieve his goal. If the child has a sweetheart in the future, what should he do?

Even though it was New Year's Eve, the two brothers felt heavy in their hearts, and when they returned to the palace, they had to pretend to be nonchalant and watch the new year.

It's just that when Jiaozi's bell rang, Xiao Zirong looked at Xiao Xuexing beside him, and thought that it would be good if he did this every year in the future, so he didn't ask for anything.

The affection between children is the thing that wears down the will the most, but Xiao Xuexing and Xiao Zirong don't seem to be affected by it.

After starting to work on the fifth day of the lunar new year, Xiao Xuexing returned to the previous state.

As a vassal king, Xiao Zirong participated in the court meeting if he wanted to, and he didn't participate if he didn't want to. After much deliberation, he decided to stay at home and start a business.

Others are in Jiankang, but they can remotely control Jinling.

So Xiao Xuexing found that his younger brother became busier than him.

When he was in court, his younger brother was making plans, and when he was correcting documents, his younger brother had more documents on the desk than he did. When he was about to go to bed, his younger brother would write a few more letters and send them out.

And Xiao Zirong sent letters to Jinling almost every day, and there were several letters in one delivery.

Xiao Xuexing endured it for several days, but finally couldn't bear it anymore, and dragged Xiao Zirong out on the morning of Xiu Mu's day.

There was actually no one on the street in the early morning, Xiao Zirong put his hands in his sleeves, yawned and followed behind Xiao Xuexing and said vaguely: "What are you doing this early in the morning?"

Xiao Xuexing glanced at him and said, "I'll take you for a walk, I'll just nest in the study every day and see how stupid you are."

It's a matter of a man's dignity, Xiao Zirong immediately said: "What's wrong with me? I'm pretty healthy, hey hey... speak well, don't do anything!"

Halfway through Xiao Zirong's speech, he saw his brother stretch out his hand and poke him slowly. He didn't know where the poke was, and instantly felt that half of his body was numb, and the place where he was poked was even more numb. It hurt so much that my legs almost went limp and I fell directly on the ground.

Xiao Xuexing picked up his collar and taunted: "Isn't that false?"

Xiao Zirong stood up, turned his head to look at Xiao Xuexing with wide eyes and asked, "Brother, was that the long-lost acupuncture technique just now?"

The corner of Xiao Xuexing's mouth twitched: "What's all this mess?"

Xiao Zirong was also awakened by his poking at this time, and after chasing his brother for a long time, he finally found out that he had indeed pressed a certain acupuncture point, but if there is no problem with his body, pressing it will only hurt a little, Xiao Zirong Rong's reaction was so strong that his body was protesting.

After hearing this, Xiao Zirong pondered for a while, he seemed to be a little lack of exercise recently, this is not going to work, he is still young, and he doesn't need to overdraw his body in exchange for money.

It just so happened that the manor was almost done repairing, so he didn't have to be so busy.

Yes, he has been busy most recently with the manor, on the one hand, the underwater tunnel, and on the other hand, personnel arrangements.

The most important thing here is the issue of security. Jing Shi has recently led a team to the manor.

The remaining things are the final adjustments, and Xiao Zirong doesn't need to take care of these things himself.

So Xiao Zirong said very ambitiously: "I will practice martial arts with you tomorrow morning."

Xiao Xuexing didn't even look at him: "Then you must be able to get up."

Xiao Zirong raised his head: "Who do you look down on?"

In fact, it is not difficult for Xiao Zirong to get up, the problem is that it is difficult to practice martial arts.

As soon as he saw Xiao Xuexing standing there in strong clothes, he was so greedy that he leaned over and insisted on punching along with him, but in the end it was Xiao Xuexing who carried him back.

Nothing special, just refused to admit defeat and had to persevere, and finally had no strength to walk back.

In fact, according to the normal situation, it should be enough to ask the servants to carry a shoulder chariot to carry Xiao Zirong back.

As a result, after Xiao Xuexing dragged Xiao Zirong up from the ground, Xiao Zirong leaned on Xiao Xuexing.

Originally, Xiao Zirong just wanted to play with Xiao Xuexing, but unexpectedly, his brother turned around, put his hand on his thigh and carried him on his back.

Xiao Zirong was startled at the time, and wrapped her arms around Xiao Xuexing's neck and said, "Brother, dear brother, put me down quickly! What if I crush you so hard?"

Xiao Xuexing turned upside down when he heard it. He smiled and said, "It's not heavy."

Xiao Zirong's thigh felt the warmth of the opponent's palm, and he felt a little bad all over. In order not to be exposed, he didn't dare to move too much, so he put his chin on Xiao Xuexing's shoulder honestly and asked, "Brother, do you think about it?" Do you want to invite someone for your birthday?"

Xiao Xuexing carried his younger brother on his back, felt his weight, and said casually, "No one is invited."

Xiao Zirong's eyes widened: "What?"

Xiao Xuexing said: "Let's just live together for a while."

Anyway, he didn't feel much about this day at first, it was just because Xiao Zirong cared, so he stayed with him.

Xiao Zirong immediately said: "How can that be done? And even if you want to, there are people who don't want to. Someone asked me before if there are fresh milk cakes this year, not only cakes but also other things."

Xiao Zirong couldn't help laughing when he said this: "Even if you don't want to live, they will find a way to let you live!"

Xiao Xuexing's head got dizzy when he heard it: "Whoever wants it, give them a copy."

"I don't. I'll let them celebrate your birthday lively. All you want to eat, play, and watch are only available on your birthday."

He wants to make Xiao Xuexing's birthday a day that most people look forward to.

Xiao Xuexing was so outraged by him that he could only say in the end: "Just be happy."

That's what Xiao Xuexing said, and he did the same thing. The matter of having a birthday party was handed over to Ling Fu to communicate with Chai Shuren early on.

Chai Shuren concealed the matter of the venue, but asked Ling Fu to give him the list, and he would take full responsibility.

Ling Fu scratched his head, feeling very subtle in his heart.

In the past, this kind of matter was handled by him. Last year, at least he assisted King Jinling to handle it. This year, someone from the Jinling Palace took over. Although it was the Prince Regent's birthday, it had nothing to do with the Prince Regent's Palace.

When Ling Fu asked the people below not to be too busy, there were still people around him feeling emotional: "I thought I would wait until the queen passed the door to let go of this mess, but I didn't expect it to be handed over to King Jinling in the end."

These words lit up Ling Fu's heart like lightning in the dark night.

He just said why he felt awkward before, didn't he, if the status of the King of Jinling was changed to Queen Regent, there would be no problem at all.

Ling Fu suddenly remembered what Xiao Xuexing had ordered him to do before, and he couldn't help hesitating for a moment. Now he couldn't see clearly what the relationship between the two brothers was.

In fact, not to mention Ling Fu, even Xiao Zirong himself couldn't figure it out.

He was a little worried when he was going to help Xiao Xuexing celebrate her birthday before. After all, the birthday banquet is actually another occasion for interpersonal communication, where everyone communicates with each other or reaches cooperation.

It is never appropriate for outsiders to meddle.

Yes, after he was made king, he was already an independent individual, on an equal footing with Xiao Xuexing, so there was nothing wrong with saying that he was an outsider.

He originally thought that Xiao Xuexing would reject him, if that was the case... he could only regretfully tell Xiao Xuexing the surprise in advance.

However, I didn't expect that Xiao Xuexing was also big-hearted, and let Xiao Zirong go to toss, without asking anything during the process, but he was relieved because Xiao Zirong was not as busy as before after taking over this matter.

Time passed quickly, Xiao Zirong clearly felt that the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was still in front of him, and it was Xiao Xuexing's birthday in a blink of an eye.

Three days before Xiao Xuexing's birthday, all the invitations had been sent to those who were qualified to attend the birthday party.

Xiao Zirong even personally went to the palace to ask Xiao Xuan if they wanted to go, but if they did, it might take a few days.

As soon as Xiao Xuan heard it, he knew that Xiao Zirong had made a big deal this time, and he had indicated at that time that he would go to participate, among other things, there must be something new.

And Xiao Zirong set the gathering day as the day before his birthday.

At that time, everyone thought that the Prince Regent deliberately avoided the official day. After all, that day was the anniversary of his family's death, so it was fine to be one day earlier.

As a result, they never expected that when they arrived at the Regent's Palace, they would all be packed and sent to the carriage.

Inside the dragon carriage, Xiao Zirong was surrounded by his uncle and brothers.

Seeing that they were about to leave the city, Xiao Xuan couldn't help asking: "What are you trying to sell?"
