Ducal Palace

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at her absent-minded son, put down the teacup in her hand, and her face showed worry: "A-Qing? ”

Xia Qing came back to her senses, looked at her mother, bit her lower lip, and her eyes turned red.

Although Bai Xiaoxiao is Duke Xia's second wife, she is different from Xia Yu's mother who retired from the First Army and has a strong personality, she is a musician, she is used to wearing a white long dress, rarely wears exaggerated jewelry, and her golden curly hair is pulled up, which has a literary atmosphere of quiet years.

It is precisely because of this that in the past, Duke Xia asked her to have love, and people felt that they had wronged true love, and later after marrying her as they wished, they followed this true love who was together despite all difficulties.

Bai Xiaoxiao has been Duke Xia's lover for seven years, and on the surface, Xia Qing is Xia Yu's younger brother, but in fact, Xia Qing is one year older than Xia Yu.

It is a real illegitimate child in marriage.

Bai Xiaoxiao raised her hand, beckoned gently, and after her son sat beside her, she held Xia Qing in her arms and said softly: "Ah Qing, mom knows that you are wronged, but you have to remember what mom said, this is just a temporary predicament, no matter what the Fan family says, how the outside world sees you, you must hold on to Fan and Qiao's hearts, you know?" ”

"I understand." Xia Qing nodded and said sullenly, "The Fan family now only has an S-level descendant of Fan and Qiao, so it must be valued...... But Mom, I really hate that slut Xia Yu! Why! Why does he always get the best?! ”

Bai Xiaoxiao paused, and there was a hint of meaning in her tone: "First of all, whether he really matched with the marshal or not, but the marshal's physical condition is not good, and the Senate side is even more ...... Ah Qing, there are still long days to come. ”

When Lu Yinghuai died of illness, the Marshal's Mansion was in decline, how much people on the Star Network are looking forward to thanking Xia Yu now, and when the marshal dies in the future, how many people will turn around and attack Xia Yu, and at that time, Xia Yu will only fall even worse.

"The top priority is to let the Senate see your usefulness and let the Fan family look at you differently."

"Xia Yu's successful match, we can't take advantage of it."

Of course, Xia Qing also understands this truth, but he understands it, let him bow his head now to have a good relationship with Xia Yu, and follow him and celebrate his birthday-

Xia Qing sat up straight from Bai Xiaoxiao's arms, her originally beautiful face full of haze.

He has been pampered by Duke Xia and Bai Xiaoxiao since he was a child, and he has never suffered such a big grievance this time, and even his work in the entertainment industry has been stopped for most of it because of this scandal!

On the day of the blind date banquet, he originally thought that he had tricked Xia Yu into the room, but somehow he fainted, and when he woke up, he had already inhaled most of the burning incense prepared in the room.

In a blur, he saw Fan and Qiao who came in with people.

But he remembered very clearly that Fan and Qiao came closer when they thought that the person on the bed was Xia Yu......

Xia Qing, who had been hanging Fan and Qiao all along, gritted her teeth, remembering the mess she felt all over her body when the reporter and guests broke in that day and the indifferent attitude of Fan and Qiao, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became.

Fan and Qiao are playboys who don't have much ability, and to treat such a little master, of course, Bai Yueguang, who has never been able to get it, is the most useful - since he had a relationship with Fan and Qiao, Fan and Qiao's attitude has become commonplace.

"Mom, I want to test whether that incident is really related to Xia Yu, or what the attitude of the Marshal's Mansion is towards Xia Yu." Xia Qing's face was gloomy, "Moreover, I suspect that Fan and Qiao have thoughts about Xia Yu. ”

Bai Xiaoxiao frowned, she tilted her head slightly, thought for a while, and said softly: "Tomorrow's birthday banquet, you let others test it, you are the most critical time now, don't make trouble." ”

Duke Xia's temperament and calculating thoughts, Xia Qing didn't know, Xia Yu didn't know, but Bai Xiaoxiao was clear.

The Duke title of the Xia family cannot be hereditary, it is just a beautiful title in honor.

Although the same sex in the empire can conceive offspring by applying for a breeding barn, if it is not true love, few people will choose to send their sons out.

Xia Yu is a healer, how could Duke Xia give up this natural advantage, Xia Qing's idea Duke Xia is not completely ignorant, but it is just an insurance for the Fan family.

Duke Xia would rather take his two sons to enter the real aristocratic circle, just thinking that as long as he can achieve his goal, he wants to have another heir in the future.

So Xia Qing is actually not that important in the eyes of Duke Xia.

Xia Qing was silent for a while, looked at her mother, and said word by word: "Mom, I want Xia Yu to die." ”

From childhood to adulthood, Xia Yu has pressed him.

Obviously, he is Duke Xia's favorite child, but because Xia Yu is a healing system, Duke Xia always has high hopes for Xia Yu and cultivates him strictly.

Obviously, his mother is the Duchess, and when outsiders talk about the young master of the Xia family, their first reaction is always Xia Yu, a stupid straw bag.

Clearly...... Obviously, after the blind date banquet, Xia Yu should completely leave his sight and his life.

He didn't want Xia Yu to die, he just wanted him to leave.

- It was all forced by Xia Yu.

"I know that the elders of the Senate want to contact Xia Yu, and they don't want Xia Yu to be a match for the marshal, right?"

Xia Qing showed a cold smile.

Bai Xiaoxiao sighed, was silent for a while, and saw that Xia Qing's eyes were stubborn and gloomy, so she didn't say anything more, only admonished: "Hide yourself, be careful, clean up your tail, don't be like last time." ”

***

Xia Yu was late on the day of the birthday party.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard Duke Xia's dissatisfied reprimand: "Why did you arrive so late?" What about the etiquette that was taught to you before? went out to live for so two days, and my temperament was wild! ”

As he spoke, Duke Xia walked out, followed by the butler who wanted to speak several times but never spoke.

"Come in with me, there are a few distinguished guests who want to meet—"

Duke Xia looked at the young man standing at the door, and his steps suddenly stiffened in place.

"Father, don't blame my brother, my brother finally came home-"

Xia Qing, who came out with Duke Xia, was also stunned in place, with a frightened expression.

Xia Yu raised her eyebrows, smiled indifferently, and walked towards the banquet hall.

He was followed by four soldiers in the uniforms of the First Legion, and as he entered the banquet hall, two of them stood in the doorway, one on the left and one on the right, and the other two followed him.

Beside him was a shiny black leopard, with its muscles shrinking and its sharp nails hidden in its claws.

The golden biter flickered with cold light, but the beast's pupils were even colder, with the carelessness of looking at its prey.

Duke Xia and Xia Qing took a breath together.

Xia Yu showed a self-contained smile that was no different from before, and said in a clear voice: "Father, Ah Qing, what's wrong?" ”

"This, this is ......" Duke Xia subconsciously took two steps back, and his face turned pale with fright by the huge black panther in front of him.

Xia Yu stretched out his hand and patted the black panther beside him, and smiled even brighter: "This is the leopard of His Excellency the Marshal, isn't it very powerful?" ”

"Brother, today is your birthday banquet, and there are a lot of noble ladies and young masters in it, how can you bring ...... Bring a leopard? The smile on Xia Qing's face faltered.

"That's what I thought." Xia Yu pursed her lips a little embarrassed, "It was the marshal who said that he didn't worry about me coming out alone, so he insisted that Yuan Yuan follow me to protect me." Father, Ah Qing, you know...... It's Marshal Lu who speaks, what else can I say? ”

As she spoke, Xia Yu lowered her eyes very skillfully and blushed.

As if he understood, the big black panther looked up at Xia Yu, and there were faint wisps of extremely light purple in his golden pupils.

Xia Qing's eyelids jumped: "Didn't my brother say before that he likes talented and visionary aristocratic sons?!" ”

When Duke Xia heard this, he frowned, turned his head to look at Xia Qing, and his expression was displeased.

He has always pressed Xia Yu's healing system to be sold at a price, of course, he doesn't want Xia Yu to like anyone.

What's more, now Xia Yu is on the Marshal's Mansion that no one has ever succeeded, and he is too late to be happy, how can he let people ruin this rare high branch.

Xia Yu looked at Xia Qing with a surprised expression: "How could Ah Qing say that?" I have always loved the stories of wilderness exploration, I love beasts, I look forward to the strong, how can I like others with such an excellent and powerful existence as His Excellency the Marshal? ”

"Xia Qing, you go inside to help your mother."

As soon as Duke Xia's words came out, Xia Qing knew that something was wrong, smiled reluctantly, and was about to turn around and walk towards the banquet hall, but Xia Yu walked over in two or three steps.

Xia Yu took the arm of the White Lotus brother and smiled affectionately: "Father, it's good for me to go in with Ah Qing, when I came out, His Excellency the Marshal instructed that the black panther and the guards were not allowed to be separated from me, but it was inconvenient to see other distinguished guests." ”

Just kidding, I just saw His Majesty take a stand, and then I went to see the people in the Senate, even if he wasn't a wall grass, maybe he would be stained with a fishy smell that couldn't be washed off.

"Yes, yes, you go in first."

Duke Xia wiped the cold sweat from the corners of his forehead with a handkerchief, and took two steps back to avoid the leopard walking by leisurely.

If those few miles were injured in the Duke's Palace, he would really be finished.

Duke Xia went back alone to explain to the distinguished guests in the Senate, and Xia Yu, on his side, lowered his voice close to Xia Qing's ear, and said softly: "Is A-Qing happy lately?" ”

Xia Qing was stunned.

The smile on Xia Yu's face was even brighter: "My brother knows that Ah Qing has liked Fan Ershao since he was a child, but because of his brother's marriage contract, he has always been like Fan Ershao. ”

"My brother has loved Ah Qing the most since he was a child, and whatever Ah Qing wants, my brother is willing to give it."

Xia Yu tilted his head slightly: "Look, now, can't Ah Qing fly with the person he likes?" ”

Xia Qing's fingers tightened, clutching the wine glass in his hand, and the big bones were faintly white.

"Sure enough, it's you!" He gritted his teeth and paused word by word, "You were the one who did it that day, didn't you?" ”

"Huh? What? Xia Yu looked incomprehensible, "Okay, Ah Qing, if you say this, you have to talk about evidence." ”

The blonde boy raised his eyebrows slightly and chuckled:

"What about the evidence?"

Xia Qing stood in place, his expression distorted and he watched Xia Yu accompany the black panther by his side, followed by two soldiers with amazing momentum, as radiant as ever, almost biting a mouthful of silver teeth.

Being provoked so openly and secretly, Xia Qing, who had been smooth sailing since childhood, could no longer bear it, her chest rose and fell violently, she raised her hand and quickly clicked a few times on the light brain, and sent the news out.

……

In the banquet hall, everyone watched the blonde young master walk in calmly and elegantly, and sat down on the sofa with familiarity.

Xia Yu's eyebrows and eyes are delicate and good-looking, and when she sits on the sofa, the expression on her face is full of willful arrogance and arrogance.

Someone was worried about the task at home and wanted to get closer, but as soon as he took two steps, the two soldiers behind Xia Yu looked at him fixedly.

The leopard with its tail on Xia Yu's wrist had even more cold and penetrating eyes.

The young master Xia didn't seem to have any intention of talking to the nobles, so he just sat there, holding the big black panther from time to time and rubbing it, and finally pinched the leopard's paw pad and buried his face in the leopard's fur.

Suddenly, a cold sneer sounded, and a voice said in a strange voice: "Young Master Xia, you can climb the high branches of the Marshal's Mansion, and even the lover who used to follow behind you doesn't recognize it." ”
