Chapter 1: Xiao Bai
"Why are you like this every day, eating, sleeping, sleeping, eating?" One is dressed in a luxurious brocade robe, wearing a crown of gold and jade hair, and a robe with gold silk trim, but the most conspicuous thing is his clothes, all over his body are purple, and the noble purple sets off his temperament more noble. He is naturally also an incomparably noble person, because his name is Xiao Yun, Xiao Yun is just a name, and this name doesn't feel special than others? But why is he so noble, he is noble because his father is the biological brother of today's son, Xiao Dingwen, the Marquis of Xuantian in Xiguo. As the emperor's younger brother, why is he just a marquis? Everyone will have this question, because he was originally the prince, but in order to stay away from the kind of competition in the deep palace, he faked his death and escaped from the palace, went to the side of the fortress, and walked up from the army step by step as a small soldier, and finally sealed Xuantianhou, at that time the emperor knew that the most legendary figure in the Xi country was actually his younger brother. He stood in front of the emperor, and the battles in the palace also came to an end, but Xiao Dingwen refused to re-enter the royal clan, so he was just a Xuantian. This Xuantian Hou was earned by his own ability, and he never relied on his royal status at all. So even today's emperor admires this younger brother very much, and even thinks that if he becomes the emperor, the Xi Kingdom will definitely be more powerful, the emperor had the idea of abdicating and making way for Xian, but he was resolutely rejected by Xiao Dingwen, and Xiao Dingwen asked to stay away from the imperial capital for some right and wrong, and the fief is far away in the northern frontier of the north of the Xi Kingdom, and outside the northern frontier is the most fierce barbarian wolf clan in the north, and Xuan Tianhou wants to guard the north, so he has lived in the frontier for a long time and has never returned, among the imperial capital of the Xi Kingdom, There is a Hou Mansion that is not inferior to the Imperial Palace, which is the Xuantian Hou Mansion, and Xiao Yun is the little Hou Ye of this Hou Mansion. As for the delicate man in the white robe who was lazily lying on the bed, he was drowsy with his eyelids drooping, and it was almost noon, and he still hadn't gotten up yet.
"Big brother, is our family short of money?" The man in white asked.
"There is no shortage of nature." Xiao Yundao, they are here the Hou Mansion, the Xuantian Hou Mansion, although the Xuantian Hou Ye has never lived here, but no one dares to despise this Hou Mansion. Because today's saint's love for the little marquis Xiao Yun is more than his own biological prince, and even for this lazy man lying on the bed, he is also extremely fond of him. Because he is Xiao Dingwen's second son, he is called Xiao Bai.
"Since there is no shortage of money, I have slept and eaten, and I am not poor, why should you worry so much?" Xiao Bai's words are enough to make people angry to death, but Xiao Yun is used to it, because he knows what this younger brother looks like.
"Big brother, let the second brother sleep for a while." Sweet voices sounded, gurgling sounds, the sound of wheels rolling in the floor. The reason why there is such a voice is because the person who came is a person in a wheelchair, her voice is very sweet, and the person is even sweeter, her eyes are like stars, her lips are like cherries, and there is always a smile on her warm little face. That smile wasn't that she wanted to laugh, but the smile she already had on her face, and the whole person was like honey, maybe honey wasn't sweeter than hers. It's just that when she sees her, there will always be pity on her face, because she is sitting on a wheelchair, which is very delicate, made of pure gold, and there are one hundred and eight mechanisms in the wheelchair, as long as she rolls the wheelchair gently, this wheelchair can completely replace people's legs, and sometimes even better than people's legs. But no matter how expensive this wheelchair is, no matter how delicate it is, no one would want to sit in such a wheelchair, because this is a wheelchair, and if you sit in this wheelchair, it means that you are a cripple. And this girl has crippled legs to sit in a wheelchair, which is really regrettable, because if she can walk, it is definitely a beautiful thing. Her name is Xiao Lan, but she is not Xiao Yun and Xiao Bai's own sister, she was picked up by Xiao Dingwen on the battlefield. Xiao Dingwen still remembers that the snow that day was very big, the snow had covered half of her body, and her legs were also frozen in the snow, and her legs had no feeling since then. Although she is not the concubine of the Hou Mansion, but the life she lives is more beautiful than a princess, the current emperor personally named her the lord of Yunlan, the wheelchair she sits in is created by the master of the organ of the emperor's Ministry of Works, not to mention the complexity of the organ, there are thirteen kinds of hidden weapons hidden in the wheelchair, it can be said that this wheelchair is a weapon, and it is a very powerful weapon. It's just that it fell into her hands, and those hidden weapons were naturally useless, but the emperor felt that it made her safer, so he added those hidden weapons.
"Sister Lan, you are always used to him, ask him to learn to paint with you, he can't even draw a duck now, he has lost the face of the Hou Mansion." Xiao Yun said with an annoyed face, but his tone was a little gentler, after all, in the face of Xiao Lan, he didn't want to scold Xiao Bai loudly. This little sister is in the Hou Mansion, and everyone has to be carefully protected, even the heartless Xiao Bai.
"Painting can't be eaten, little sister, you're not in good health, just let the eldest brother raise you in the future, why bother learning what to paint, it's the right thing to rest more." Xiao Bai sat up from the bed and looked at his actions, which really scared Xiao Yun and Xiao Lan, but what he said was really annoying. Xiao Lan's attainments in painting are extremely high, especially landscape paintings, which are simply the pinnacle, each painting is a transcendent fairy spirit contained in it, and the aura is elegant, especially the peak work she painted a year ago, the autumn wind and falling leaves, which can be described as unmatched in today's painting world. That painting was taken away by the emperor, for this painting, the emperor came to the Hou Mansion five times, and tried his best to get this picture from Xiao Lan's hands, I heard that it has been hanging in the imperial study, even the queen can not easily touch this picture, this picture can be described as priceless. And some painters in the market copied the autumn wind and falling leaves, which are also very valuable, and some have even been sold for as much as 100 taels of gold. To be honest, even if Xiao Lan didn't rely on the Hou Mansion, she would be able to live well, at least not starvation.
"You can be willing to fall, but don't take a bad little sister." Xiao Yun said angrily.
"Where have I fallen for yourselves?" Xiao Bai said unconvinced.
"Let you study, you will only sleep a lot, let you practice martial arts, you will only sleep a lot, twelve hours a day, you sleep for ten hours, and you are not willing to fall?" Xiao Yun frowned and said, to be honest, he didn't bother to say Xiao Bai anymore, Xiao Bai was no different from a pig in his eyes, and even he felt that Xiao Bai was not even as good as a pig, after all, pigs can still be killed and eaten, and he can't eat them, but he lives like a pig, how can he not be angry.
"I don't test my fame, what's the use of studying?" Xiao Bai asked confidently.
"What about martial arts?" Xiao Yundao.
"My martial arts are the best in the world, what else do you practice?" Xiao Bai was even more reasonable, Xiao Yun looked at him with such a straightforward expression. Angry and speechless, he didn't even need to ask that sentence, because Xiao Bai didn't know how long Xiao Bai had been talking about this answer, and it had already become his mantra. In the entire Eastern Capital, everyone knows that there is a second son who is the first in the world in the Hou Mansion, but not the first in the world in martial arts, but the first waste son in the world. He is the first in the world in martial arts, only he thinks it is, because no one believes it, Xiao Yun doesn't believe it, Xiao Lan doesn't believe it, where does Xiao Bai get his confidence, he has been sleeping since he was four years old, and he has slept for so long. Xiao Yun was so angry that he brushed his sleeves away, his eyes were full of disappointment, every time he talked to his younger brother, he would be even more disappointed every time, Xiguo advocates force, and the royal family also respects the characters in the rivers and lakes very much, every emperor of Xiguo will make a promise with the rivers and lakes, that is, the affairs of the rivers and lakes, the court will not participate, in order to show the court's respect for the rivers and lakes, and even the emperor will send his prince into the Jianghu sect**, until he completes his studies, he will bring it back to the palace, And Xiao Yun naturally went to the middle school of the Jianghu sect for a period of time, and knew that the rivers and lakes were so big, and the first four words in the world were not easy to say. The first in the world, not just a title, it is very simple to say these four words, but it is difficult to keep these four words, because if you claim to be the first in the world, others will be dissatisfied, and if you are not convinced, they will come to challenge you, and in the face of the challenges of all kinds of characters in the rivers and lakes, no one is sure that they can really be invincible in the world. Of course, Xiao Bai naturally no one will challenge him, within this Eastern Capital, there are also their own small rivers and lakes, and Xiao Yun is one of the legendary figures in the Eastern Capital, of course, Xiao Bai is too, but Xiao Bai's legend is naturally not very glorious.
Why is it disgraceful, he is the prince of the Hou Mansion, and he is the favorite nephew of the emperor today, they can enter and leave the palace freely, you must know that even if it is a prince, there are restrictions on entering and leaving the palace. Let's put it this way, the emperor trusts his two nephews more than his sons, because they will not covet their own throne, those princes' affinity for themselves may be fake, of course he can't see it, but he knows that Xiao Yun and Xiao Bai, as well as Xiao Lan, really regard him as an elder, and every time he eats with them, he can enjoy a trace of warmth that is not in the palace, which is why, he likes the autumn wind and falling leaves, but he never forced it, he is the emperor, and asking for a painting is just a matter of one sentence. But he wanted to paint with Xiao Lan, not with his identity as an emperor, but as his uncle, after all, the autumn wind and falling leaves picture is Xiao Lan's pinnacle work, Xiao Lan said that it is impossible for him to have a second work within five years that can surpass the autumn wind and falling leaves.
"Second brother, don't be angry with the eldest brother, now your rumors in the Eastern Capital are mostly ugly, and he naturally doesn't like others to discuss the affairs of the Hou Ye's Mansion outside." Xiao Lan said earnestly.
"He is a concubine of the Hou Lord's Mansion, a big celebrity in front of His Majesty, and even the favor of the prince is not as good as him, why don't you want to share the worries of the emperor's uncle, but go to the wine shop teahouse to listen to these nonsense, I am not angry with him?" Xiao Bai complained. Xiao Lan was speechless, he also knew that this second brother was very stubborn, and the things he believed would never change, for example, if he felt that he was the number one master in the world, he must be the number one master in the world. But that was in his imagination, because he had never practiced martial arts, and if even a person like him was the best in the world, then it would be very unfair to those who practiced three colds in winter and three dogs in summer. However, these are too far away for Xiao Bai, because the rivers and lakes are too far away for him, and Xiao Bai has never been out of the Eastern Capital, let alone the rivers and lakes.
"The eldest brother is already very powerful, and now among the sons of the family, the eldest brother is the best, who else can compete with him?" A touch of pride appeared in Xiao Lan's sweet smile, as if this emotion should not have appeared on her face, but it couldn't help but appear, because Xiao Yun is now called the first person in the Eastern Capital, as long as Xiao Yun's name is mentioned, everyone will be afraid, so no matter how wasteful Xiao Bai is, everyone will not look down on Xuantian Houfu, because Xiao Yun is enough to inherit Xiao Dingwen, the Xuantian Marquis who resisted the wolf clan in the fiefdom of Northern Xinjiang.
"What is so powerful about him, no one has ever believed me in the world, Mo Dao is far away alone, and he forgets the people in the rivers and lakes. Alas, pathetic, lamentable. There was a hint of melancholy in Xiao Bai's eyes, and a trace of surprise appeared in Xiao Lan's eyes. Everyone in the world knows that Xiao Bai can't study, and he can't do anything, but this sentence Mo Dao is lonely and far away, forgetting the people in the rivers and lakes, it really has a bit of literary brilliance, it seems that she also underestimated this second brother.
"Second brother, the Eastern Capital has changed a lot recently, why don't you go out for a walk?" Xiao Lan said.
"Everything is changing, what is there to go, it is better to sleep." Xiao Bai said lightly, saying sleep, he really slew, Xiao Bai lay down again, and immediately snored, Xiao Lan was stunned again. There was also a curvature in the corners of her mouth, because she now knew that her second brother was not lying, at least he was the best in the world in terms of sleeping skills, and there was absolutely no second person who could match him.
In the tea shops and restaurants, people are talking about other people's homely things, and the Hou Yefu is also one of them, of course, when it comes to Xiao Yun, everyone will have a kind of respect. Not only because of Xiao Yun, but also because of the importance of the Hou Mansion to the Great Xi Country, the Northern Blue Wolf Clan is extremely ruthless, dangerous and bloodthirsty, often violating the border of the Xi Country, and the places they pass are full of sorrow. The wolf clan is warlike, and the northern Xinjiang wolves are surrounded by wolves, and the wolf clan has a special ability to summon beasts, and can command a large number of wolves to dispatch. All the warriors who meet the wolf clan are extremely headaches, until Xuantian Hou Xiao Dingwen went to the northern Xinjiang, the wolf clan in the entire northern Xinjiang has not violated the border of Xiguo for eleven years. It is conceivable that the importance of Xuantian Hou in the hearts of the people of Xi is extremely satisfied, the so-called Jiangmen Huzi is like this, and the same is true when it comes to Xiao Lan, but when it comes to Xiao Bai, everyone can only shake their heads and sigh. Because Xiao Bai is the only stain on Xuantianhou Houye, but Xuantianhou loves this son very much, which is also the reason why everyone is puzzled.
