Chapter Twenty-Three: Brother Huang, Why Do You Want to Hide Your Age?
While Xiao Qingfeng was busy with court affairs, Xiao Suisui slipped away to Xiao Ruyu's dormitory again, thinking about when she would be able to take back the trap rabbit that Xiao Ruyu promised her.
But when he walked into Xiao Ruyu's dormitory, Xiao Suisui only saw a young man in a green shirt who was about fourteen or fifteen years old.
The young man in the green shirt was intently carving the wood in his palm, and the wood had a rough prototype of a rabbit under his carving.
Xiao Suisui quietly glanced behind him for a long time, and the young man in the green shirt noticed Xiao Suisui's existence, his expression was stunned, he forgot how to gasp, and even didn't know how to react.
The young man in the green shirt carefully and cautiously protected the little rabbit that had just come out of the edges, and hid not far behind him, his expression tense throughout the whole process, without saying half a word.
"Are you scared?" Xiao Suisui blinked curiously, squatted down and came closer: "What's your name?" How did it end up here? ”
Xiao ...... Xiao Yaoxing. ”
He whispered.
"Your surname is Xiao too! That's nice. ”
Xiao Suisui obviously doesn't know that Xiao is the surname of Yinzhou, and since the surname is Xiao, it must be a family with her.
The person in front of him is Xiao Yaoxing, the third prince with the lowest sense of presence in the Yinzhou Palace, who is proficient in first-hand carpentry.
Xiao Suisui pushed a small chair and sat down, full of curiosity about Xiao Yaoxing's actions: "Then what are you doing here?" ”
Xiao Yaoxing dodged Xiao Suisui's gaze and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered me to come here to carve objects. ”
Xiao Suisui nodded convincingly, asked many interesting questions around Xiao Yaoxing, and did not forget to praise what Xiao Ruyu gave him.
Xiao Yaoxing only has a match, he doesn't like to speak, and he has never said so many things in a day, because no one has talked so much to him.
But Xiao Suisui was so greedy for him, he didn't hate it at all.
I don't even think it's necessarily a bad thing.
Hearing the footsteps outside the door, Xiao Suisui turned his head keenly and met Xiao Ruyu, who came back from outside.
Different from the joy on Xiao Suisui's face, Xiao Ruyu saw that the two of them were talking happily together, and they were almost petrified on the spot.
This is equivalent to being bumped into by the invigilator when cheating.
Xiao Ruyu rarely felt a little weak-hearted, and ordered someone to bring Xiao Yaoxing in front of her.
But when he saw that the tall and tall guards really brought the thin Xiao Yaoxing here, Xiao Ruyu fell into deep thought.
Because Xiao Yaoxing was really picked up by the collar behind him.
Xiao Ruyu frowned in confusion and asked in surprise, "Is it that this hall is usually too strict with you?" ”
The guard coughed dryly twice, and he was so nervous that he didn't even dare to bend down for half a minute: "No! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been very generous to his subordinates! ”
Xiao Yaoxing was put down at this time, and leaned over and saluted: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, and the things that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered Yaoxing to do have been completed." ”
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
Xiao Ruyu's reply was very bland.
He touched his neck uncomfortably and said, "You didn't say much, did you?" ”
Xiao Yaoxing was completely puzzled: "What? ”
Before the two of them could confess to each other, Xiao Suisui, who couldn't stay idle, had already slipped to Xiao Ruyu's lap, and straightened his little head curiously: "Brother Huang, what are you talking about, why are you hiding it?" ”
Xiao Ruyu stiffened into an ice sculpture on the spot.
It took him a long time to recover, and he pretended to be calm and touched Xiao Suisui's head: "This palace only talked to your third emperor brother when there was something to do, and I didn't want to hide it from you. The rabbit that I promised to give you before, your third emperor brother has already done it one step ahead of the imperial brother, and I will give it to you today, and the imperial brother will personally make something else for you another day. ”
"Okay."
Xiao Suisui agreed very happily, she rushed over and hugged the trap rabbit placed on the side, and was glad that this thing was given to herself.
With Xiao Suisui here, Xiao Ruyu simply gave up the idea of "interrogating" Xiao Yaoxing's strictness, after all, according to Xiao Susui's reaction, he shouldn't have thought much about it.
Xiao Ruyu was upright and ordered someone to prepare a whole table of food, and after feeding Xiao Suisui who came to "cheat and eat and drink", Xiao Ruyu let people leave.
But as soon as Xiao Suisui left, Xiao Ruyu suddenly felt melancholy that there seemed to be thorns on the chair.
Xiao Yaoxing also felt bored for a while, so he also got up: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has nothing else to do, Yaoxing will go back to review his homework first." ”
Xiao Ruyu replied indifferently, she was already worried about her lack of carpentry.
Let Xiao Yaoxing do it for you, what should I do if I am bumped into by Xiao Suisui again?
The guard next to him saw Xiao Ruyu's sad look, and proposed: "Why don't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just let His Royal Highness the Third Highness teach you, it's something simple after all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so smart, are you still afraid that you won't be able to learn?" ”
So, Xiao Yaoxing, who had just walked out of the East Palace, didn't take two steps before he was taken back by Xiao Ruyu's guards as if he had kidnapped......
Xiao Yaoxing's expression was very complicated: "What else does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince command?" ”
He felt that Xiao Ruyu today was very abnormal, not to mention sorrow, and even a little inexplicably "nervous".
"In the future, don't call the prince of the palace, call me the imperial brother."
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince."
……
"Your carpentry skills, teach the main hall."
"Yes."
Xiao Yaoxing suddenly came back to his senses, "Why does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to learn?" ”
As we all know, the prince has this kind of hobby that has nothing to do with governing the country, and he will be deducted from the reputation of not doing his job, and Xiao Yaoxing has also persevered with his loneliness for many years.
But he Xiao Ruyu doesn't care about his bright future, learn this?
"You don't have to worry about that."
Xiao Ruyu said indifferently, "This hall knows that you have been bullied a lot because of your background, as long as you are willing to teach, this hall will definitely ensure that you are safe in the palace for a lifetime." ”
Xiao Yaoxing hesitated for a moment, but still decided to be hard.
He often feels that he is different from other imperial heirs, after all, the mothers and concubines of others are all serious princesses, but his mothers are the palace maids who climb the bed and are scolded by everyone, and even the palace people who take care of him will often talk about the unclean blood in his body, how can he be called a prince.
Over time, even Xiao Yaoxing himself felt so.
But seeing Xiao Suisui today, after being pestered by Xiao Suisui's curiosity and dependence for a while, Xiao Yaoxing's heart trembled slightly, and his long-held thoughts were frequently shaken.
Xiao Yaoxing doesn't want to be a nameless prince who can die and disappear in the palace at any time, he wants to be Xiao Suisui's brother and want to be a person who can protect Xiao Suisui.
The reason why Xiao Ruyu is so abnormal today is that he even asked him to teach himself carpentry, most of which is also related to Xiao Suisui.
And the little koi in question was squatting by the edge of the imperial garden pond with a carpentry rabbit, touching the fish and the fat koi in the Minghua pond seriously.
Koi touch koi, and the good luck effect is doubled.
