After I feel sorry for the cannon fodder prince, I wear a book

"Young Master, it's time to go." The butler of Prince Xiao's Mansion stood in front of the carriage, wiped the sweat from his brow, wanted to urge but didn't dare.

He came two hours ago, but the two said they wanted to tidy up, so they dragged it until now, until it was dark.

"There is everything in the palace, and I don't know what to prepare, after all, it's only seven days..." The butler mumbled a few words to himself, but he didn't dare to say anything, he could only stand and wait.

After finally getting Xiao Tan to come out, the two of them stood at the door and talked again. Seeing that there would be no end for a while, the housekeeper couldn't bear it, so he had to remind him.

If you don't leave, the prince is afraid that he will really lose his temper.

"Understood." Xiao Qin glanced at him and said calmly.

That gaze was full of coldness, just one glance, the housekeeper lowered his head in panic, not daring to disturb him any more.

"Let's go, if you don't go, it will be getting late." Yu Yi stood at the door, feeling uncomfortably blown by the sudden cool wind in the evening, her nose tip and eye sockets were flushed.

"Yes." Xiao Qin raised his hand and wrapped Yu Yi's collar wrapped in fox fur.

He hesitated for a moment, before leaving, he still stepped forward and gave this person a gentle hug.

Yu Yi only felt a cold breath enveloping her, and then retreated in an instant and disappeared.

Xiao Qin stood two steps away, smiled at last, turned and left.

"Seven days." Yu Yi said suddenly.

"Huh?" Xiao Qin turned his head when he heard this, and looked up at him through several steps.

"After seven days, the king will pick you up." Yu Yi's expression was sleepy, from her slightly frowning eyebrows to her tightly pursed thin lips, showing impatience and irritability everywhere.

He didn't want Xiao Tan to go back to the house, who knew what dirty things that old guy Xiao Zhengze would do again.

This person has just come to the capital, and he hasn't seen many insidious methods in the court, and he is afraid that if he is not careful, he will be tricked by others and he doesn't know it.

Besides, in the previous life, Xiao Qin probably chose to betray him because he was instigated by Xiao Zhengze.

This person has seen a lot of changes in this life. He had already settled down, but he forgot to send Xiao Qin back to his residence before getting married. After staying with Xiao Zhengze for seven days, he felt flustered again for no reason. It's very long, if something happens again...

"it is good."

Xiao Qin was born with a straightforward mind, but this time, for the first time, he understood Yu Yi's worries about turning a hundred turns in his words.

He understood instantly that Yu Yi was afraid that he would be cheated away again.

"It's only seven days. I'll wait for Your Highness." Xiao Qin said seriously.

Yu Yi nodded, seeing that it was almost completely dark, and the butler was crying again, so he turned around and went back to the palace, talking as he walked.

"It's really cold outside, I'm going back first, you should go too."

"Let's go."

Xiao Qin watched him enter the door, even though he was wrapped in thick fox fur, his figure was still very thin.

"Young master? Let's..." Seeing Yu Yi leave, the butler became more courageous and approached him.

"Let's go."

Xiao Qin's smile faded, and he avoided the touch of the servants, and got into the carriage by himself.

He knew that Xiao Zhengze was waiting for him in the mansion now, and he was afraid that he would have a lot of words to "excuse".

"Master, next time it's better not to keep the master waiting for a long time." The carriage was driving fast, and the butler sat in front of the carriage and said through the curtain.

Xiao Tan was staring at the car in a daze, when he heard this he sneered and didn't answer.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the housekeeper was silent for a while, and said again: "Although the young master married into Duan Wang's mansion, he is still a member of our Xiao family, you have to recognize—"

"No." Xiao Qin interrupted him.

"...What?" The butler was taken aback.

He is a collateral blood relative of the Xiao family, and he was valued by Xiao Zhengze by chance. He has been a housekeeper in Xiao Wangfu for more than 20 years, and he feels that he is also an important role in the Xiao family. He usually likes to talk about "our Xiao family" side.

Today, Xiao Qin and Yu Yi's restrained and ambiguous appearance, he really couldn't see it.

It's not an ordinary marriage, but it can also pay attention to some real feelings.The marriage between the big families of this aristocratic family is for the sake of interests, not to mention that Xiao Qin is still a man, and he must put the interests of the family first. If he really regards himself as a member of Duan Wangfu...then this marriage is not for nothing?

"Master, we're here." Prince Xiao's Mansion was just ahead, and it was already delayed for quite a while, so the housekeeper got out of the car and opened the curtain for Xiao Qin, without bothering to ask any more questions.

Xiao Tan got out of the car without saying a word, and when he passed by him, he suddenly said, "Housekeeper Xiao."

"Huh? What's the matter with the young master, I will tell the servants later, and now the prince is afraid to wait—"

"It's urgent, I can't wait."

"Here," the housekeeper said anxiously, "then let the young master speak."

"Well," Xiao Qin nodded and said casually, "then you can kneel down."

The butler was taken aback, and then said with a embarrassed expression: "...Master? This is inappropriate, if the master finds out, I'm afraid I will blame him, and I will—"

Xiao Qin had known this earlier, before he finished listening, he stretched out his hand to pinch his cheeks.

"kneel?"

"Kneel, I'll kneel." The butler felt that his jaw was about to be broken, and his eyes turned black from the pain, so how could he dare to refuse even a single word.

Xiao Qin let go, and he immediately knelt down, not daring to hesitate for a moment.

"Let me ask you, who is the owner of Prince Xiao's Mansion?" Xiao Tan took two steps back, took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, and looked down at him.

"...Master?" The butler suspected that he had heard it wrong. He looked up at Xiao Qin, met the latter's indifferent eyes, and then lowered his head in panic, "Of course it's the prince."

"anything else."

"There are also... madam, son, and... you, young master."

"Hey," Xiao Tan sneered, "Then you really flattered me."

He continued: "As you said, the owner of Prince Xiao's Mansion does not have you, am I wrong?"

"...No, that's right." The colder Xiao Qin's tone became, the more trembling the housekeeper became.

This eldest son used to be a rough man in the rivers and lakes. He beat and killed all day long. He couldn't be unhappy and wanted to kill him, right?

"Then if I kill you now, do you think the prince will blame me?"

"..."

Before the steward could answer, Xiao Tan said, "He won't blame me, because His Highness won't blame me, His Highness protects me, and the Emperor won't blame me either. Could it be that your life is more important than the Emperor's will?"

The butler didn't dare to respond, his head was covered in cold sweat, not to mention his life, even a hundred lives are nothing compared to the emperor's thought.

"Recognize your identity. I'm not the eldest son of you, you, Xiao, and your family. It's not your turn to comment on what I did. Even if it's really..."

Xiao Qin approached slowly, stared at him and said, "Even if it's true, you are a little butler with a few drops of the master's blood, and you are not qualified to speak on behalf of Xiao Zhengze."

"Xiao Qin!"

Xiao Zhengze stood on the steps and shouted in a deep voice.

Just now the servants came in to report that the carriage sent to pick up the eldest son had finally returned. He was already annoyed by the wait, thinking that he would give this ignorant boy a good lesson, but he didn't expect to sit in the front hall again. It's tea time, and Xiao Qin hasn't come in yet.

He came out to look for it angrily, and just as he walked to the door, he heard the man's extremely wild words.

Xiao Qin turned his head, his breath slightly unsteady.

His parents taught him what it means to be a "gentleman", but he seems to be born with a bit of "regardless and arrogant" in his bones, willing to be gentle, but unwilling to be patient.

When he was sick in bed before, Xiao Tan didn't realize that he would be like this, but the longer he entered the storybook, the more Xiao Tan discovered that the character of the original owner was affecting him all the time.

The ruthlessness in reprimanding the butler just now did not come from the courage cultivated by the original owner after wandering around the rivers and lakes for a long time, could it also come from the more than [-] years he was bedridden?

Thinking of this, Xiao Tan softened his voice, and saluted Xiao Zheng as if nothing had happened: "I have seen the prince."

Xiao Zhengze looked at Xiao Tan, and then at the butler kneeling on the ground trembling. His expression changed several times. He knew that Xiao Tan was using the butler to save himself, but he finally endured it and snorted coldly. : "Come in with me."

……

In the front hall, the servants brought tea, each of them held their breath and concentrated.

Every time he was in the same room with the eldest son, the prince's temper would be particularly bad.

"Why did you come so late?" Xiao Zhengze calmed down, took a sip of tea, and decided not to worry about the matter just now.

Today there is a more important matter to discuss with Xiao Tan, if he can agree to it, it is nothing to teach a butler a lesson.

"Your Highness is reluctant to part with me." Xiao Qin said casually.

"..." Xiao Zhengze took a sip of tea, coughed a few times and said reluctantly, "Your Highness has treated you well, that's very good."

It is also easy to inquire about any news in the future.

"The people from the Ministry of Rites have just left, and they will come back tomorrow. In the next few days...you and I will be busy with a lot of things. I have something to say, for my father, cough, for my father, I want to talk to you tonight." Xiao Zhengze wrinkled Frowning, the word "father" said to Xiao Qin, it was really awkward.

Xiao Qin sighed secretly, not only what he said was awkward, but also what he heard was awkward, and even if he was awkward, he had to put on an air. I'm afraid that what he will talk about next will not be a good thing.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Xiao Zheng continued to think carefully: "You... Although you didn't live in the palace before, you still have the blood of my Xiao family. Since you came to the capital, you should be the same as your brothers. , with the interests of the family as the most important thing.”

"And our Xiao family has always supported the Third Highness, do you know that?"

"Clear." Xiao Qin nodded naturally. Your Xiao family supports the third prince, but I support Yu Yi. What's unclear?

"It's good to be clear," Xiao Zhengze was very satisfied, and continued: "Since we support the Third Highness, we naturally cannot get too close to the other princes, and even... we have to find ways to deal with it. You may understand this?"

Xiao Zheng felt that he had done his best, thinking that Xiao Tan was in the Jianghu before and didn't understand these court affairs, so he didn't directly threaten him, but patiently told him the truth that even a fool would understand.

"Understood." Xiao Tan nodded again. Xiao Zheng wanted to help Yu Shu and murder Yu Yi, and he already knew that.

"Since we all understand, and we all understand, then—" Xiao Zheng felt that things were going smoothly, and was about to ask Xiao Qin to express his opinion at the end, when he heard this person say:

"Xiao Tan also has a few questions, and I want to ask the prince."

"Ask." Xiao Zhengze was in a good mood.

"I have not been raised in Prince Xiao's mansion for more than [-] years. I have only blood relationship with the prince and a group of brothers and sisters, but no family relationship. Does the prince know this?"

"..."

"You—" Xiao Zhengze had a bad feeling, and just about to speak, Xiao Tan continued:

"In the next twenty years or so, I want to be the princess of Duan Wang's mansion, and I will be honored and honored with the Second Highness, and I will be harmed by both. This prince may understand?"

"..."

"What do you mean? You are a man, so naturally you don't have to marry and follow your husband like a daughter's family. Besides, there are many married daughters who still think about their own family!" Xiao Zhengze's tone became colder.

"It's not interesting." Xiao Qin got up, not planning to pester her any further.

"My lord is wrong. Whether I am a man or a woman, after seven days, I will be the concubine of Prince Duan's mansion. Choose to treat your husband sincerely, or choose to secretly benefit the family. What does it have to do with men and women?"

After speaking, Xiao Qin saluted as usual, and then went back to his room.

Xiao Zhengze didn't refute or stop him, but just said when he just stepped out of the front hall:

"Young Master Xiao, why don't you think about it again. A few days ago, the Meishan faction won the leader of the martial arts conference, but this king even sent someone... to send a congratulatory gift."

Xiao Qin turned his head abruptly.

The wind rolled in through the wide open door, blowing out the candles in the house in the blink of an eye.

In the darkness, Xiao Zhengze sat upright at the head, with a dim expression.
