Chapter 26 What about revolutionary friendship!

Xihe ordered a pot of Peach Blossom Wine. After taking a sip, her vision became blurry. She tilted her head and lay in Zhao Siyuan's arms. "It's delicious! Another one!"

Zhao Siyuan was jealous and poured himself a cup. The fragrance of peach blossoms filled his nose, making him intoxicated. "This peach blossom wine in Yunfanglou is really not in vain."

When Zhao Zhinan came back, the two little girls had already drunk two cups each and were hugging each other and chattering.

"My damn ancestors, who gave them the peach blossom wine? Look at me, I'm going to live a long life!"

Peach Blossom Drunk, it tastes sweet at first but has a strong aftertaste.

"Wake up! Are you still going to listen to music?" Zhao Zhinan was in a dilemma. If he really sent two drunkards back to the palace, Emperor Jingyuan would skin him alive.

Fortunately, I drank a bowl of hangover soup and sobered up quickly.

"Third brother, you're back." Xihe woke up and went to pour wine again. The Third Prince didn't dare to give it to her and snatched it away.

"Eat first. When you're full, you can get a drink as a reward."

Facing the hostile gazes of the two little girls, Zhao Zhinan hid the wine a little further back.

Seeing the little girl's pout, he thought she was going to cry again, so he quickly pushed the Kuixingzhai cakes forward.

"Don't cry, eat the cake."

Xihe was stunned for a moment, blinked at the cake, and thought he was blind.

"Third brother, you went to buy me some cakes."

Zhao Zhinan touched his nose and pretended to be nonchalant. "Well, I knocked over a plate of cakes, so I'll compensate you with two plates. That way you won't keep accusing me of bullying you."

He didn't want to please this crybaby, he was just afraid that she would cry.

Yes, that's right, that's it.

Zhao Siyuan sneered, "Just try to coax people, why are you pretending? You're really acting."

Among the six brothers and sisters, Zhao Zhinan and Zhao Siyuan have been fighting since they were young. They have different auras and will fight whenever they meet, without exception.

Zhao Zhinan was not good at fighting and could not defeat Zhao Siyuan. He angrily raised his hand to grab the cake that was about to be eaten and stuffed it into his mouth. "I bought the cake! What are you eating? I'll starve you to death!"

Zhao Siyuan looked at the cake crumbs on his fingertips and laughed angrily, "You're useless, I just ate it, what can you do to me?"

As he said that, he went to grab the food on the plate. After a few moves, the two almost started fighting again.

Xihe was holding some pastries and laughing.

After lunch, the third prince took his two sisters to Chunfeng Tower.

As soon as I arrived at the door, the madam of Chunfeng Tower came out to greet me.

"Oh, Mr. Zhao, you haven't been here for a long time! Minglu and Minghua must have missed you!"

The smell of cosmetics that hit Xihe in the face almost made her vomit.

"Brother! Is this the place to listen to music?" Xihe asked.

Xihe didn't know, but Zhao Siyuan knew.

"You brought us to a brothel?" Zhao Siyuan wanted to strangle Zhao Zhinan to death.

I thought it was a teahouse, but it turned out to be a brothel.

That's not how you play the game of replacing one thing with another.

Zhao Zhinan smiled mysteriously, "If you want to listen to good music, what's the point of going to a teahouse? The music in Chunfeng Tower is the best! Besides, don't you want to go in and take a look at such an interesting place?"

Zhao Siyuan pursed his lower lip, which was already a little loose.

Can't get in the commotion~

"You are not allowed to tell father!" Zhao Siyuan said in a low voice.

Zhao Zhinan smiled knowingly, "I understand, no one else will know what happened today."

In order to avoid meeting acquaintances, Zhao Zhinan chose a more secluded private room on the second floor and had two pots of tea served.

Xihe held the tea for a long time without moving, staring at Taohuazui hidden behind Zhao Zhinan, and his meaning was obvious.

"Third brother, peach blossom drunk!"

Zhao Zhinan sighed and resigned himself to giving each of them a glass. "Why didn't I see before that you're still a bit of a drunkard?"

Soon there came a melodious sound of piano, soft and long, with a faint sweet fragrance coming from the high notes, which was intoxicating.

It was indeed a land of decadence and luxury. Once the aftereffects of the peach blossom intoxication kicked in, Xihe soon felt a little dizzy. She leaned on the back of the chair, staring at a piece of red cloth with a dazed look in her eyes.

The wind began to blow, the red cloth fluttered, and the face of the person hidden behind the curtain flashed, and that cold glance came straight towards Xihe through the crowd.

Xihe shuddered suddenly and came to his senses.

Brother! Why is he here?

With a stumble, Xihe rolled off the stool and fell kneeling at Zhao Zhinan's feet.

Zhao Zhinan sprayed his wine and laughed without giving any face, "Xihe, my royal brother knows that you are grateful to me, so there is no need for such a grand ceremony."

Xihe's little face suddenly turned red. She picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into the third prince's mouth viciously, blocking his mouth.

Zhao Siyuan was so happy that he leaned back.

Xihe rubbed his face, looked over quietly, met Xiao Mingxuan's cold eyes, and immediately looked away.

It's all over.

Xihe wanted to pretend to be dead, but that gaze was like a thorn in his back, and he couldn't get rid of it.

She suddenly felt that if she didn't go there, she might die miserably.

"Third brother, I'm going out for a while."

Xihe patted his cheeks and slowly stood up.

Zhao Zhinan was listening intently. Hearing this, he said, "Where are you going? I'll go with you."

Chunfeng Tower is a mixed crowd, and this is Xihe's first time out of the palace, so it's better to keep an eye on her.

"Do you want to go to the toilet with me?" Xihe said.

Zhao Zhinan: “…” Offended.

Zhao Siyuan was about to follow, but Xihe ran away, so he had to give up.

Following his memory, Xihe saw Shijian at the door of a private room on the right.

When Shi Jian saw her, his face showed no expression. He just opened the door behind him and was extremely respectful.

Xihe chuckled twice and moved reluctantly.

"How long do you want to stay outside?" A cold voice came from inside, as biting as the winter wind, "Come in!"

Xihe shuddered unconsciously and went in with a sad face.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Xiao Mingxuan sneered: "I came here to read."

Sarcastic.

Xihe: "..."

I was left speechless by what I had said.

Xihe secretly handed over two pieces of cake and said flatteringly, "Little brother, I was wrong, don't be angry."

Xiao Mingxuan's eyes never left the book in his hand, but he didn't turn a page for a long time. "What's wrong?"

Xihe scratched his head and asked, "Shouldn't I eat the cakes by myself?"

Xiao Mingxuan was so angry that he almost laughed, "Xiao Xi'er, what else is on your mind besides cakes?"

"And Peach Blossom Drunk!" Xihe's eyes sparkled when Peach Blossom Drunk was mentioned.

"You still dare to drink?" Xiao Mingxuan leaned in closer and could smell the alcohol coming from the little girl. "Who gave you that?"

"Third brother."

Xiao Mingxuan's expression was too terrifying, so Xihe pulled Zhao Zhinan out to take the blame without thinking.

I would rather die than let my friend die. What is integrity? Can it be eaten?

Xiao Mingxuan's eyes darkened.

It seems that he was too lenient last time.

"From now on, you are not allowed to drink without my permission! Do you hear me?" Xiao Mingxuan rubbed the little girl's soft face and said word by word.

He has the final say on how to write or draw on such a clean piece of white paper.

Xihe nodded hurriedly, fearing that if she was a second late, she would be eaten alive by the big bad wolf.

"So you remember what went wrong?" Xiao Mingxuan had no intention of letting her go. He changed his posture and stared at the little girl intently.

Xihe lowered his head in thought. After a long while, he still couldn't come to a conclusion. He shook his head with a dejected look on his face, "I don't know."

"Why did you lie to me?"

The familiar feeling of oppression appeared again, enveloping Xihe and making it hard to breathe.

"Xiao Xier, if you want to leave the palace, you can just tell me. Why did you lie to me and say you were reading in the palace?" Xiao Mingxuan received the cakes sent by the little girl. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to go to Fuhua Palace to take a look. However, the palace was deserted without any trace of anyone.

The secret guard who was following them reported that the little girl had left the palace with the third prince and the fourth princess, so he hurriedly followed them out, and ended up seeing the little girl drunkenly in a brothel.

At that moment, he even wanted to depose the third prince.

"You don't trust me." Xiao Mingxuan finally came to a conclusion.

The disappointment and pain in Xiao Mingxuan's eyes did not seem fake. Xihe panicked and frantic, "I was wrong, little brother. I will tell you everything I do in the future, okay? Don't be like this. It makes me uncomfortable."

He spoke so anxiously that tears started to fall and he curled up into a ball.

Xiao Mingxuan sighed and hugged the little girl into his arms. His eyes suddenly changed. There was no trace of unhappiness or disappointment. Thick black ink accumulated in the depths of his eyes, covering up the determination to win. "I am the one who should be wronged. Why are you still wronged?"

The little girl just kept crying and couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"Xiao Xi'er, I'm not trying to scare you, but it's really dangerous out there." Xiao Mingxuan sighed. "The other day, I heard from Shi Jian that a girl miraculously disappeared in Chunfeng Tower. She was finally found with her tendons pulled out, bones shaved, and sliced ​​into pieces, and served as a snack."

Xihe paused in her sniffing motion, her rosy lips trembling slightly, and she seemed struck by lightning. She couldn't help but swallow, "Cut... cut into slices?"

Xiao Mingxuan nodded. "I heard that only the head was left in the end. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, so tragic."

With a plop, the pastry fell to the ground. Xihe looked at the people coming and going downstairs, and Hongxiu Tianxiang instantly turned into a hungry ghost pouncing on food.

Xiao Mingxuan touched the girl's smooth face and said quietly, "Forget it this time, but if it happens again, I'll be like that bad guy and cut you into pieces and use them to soak in wine."

Xihe cried even harder, "No... I won't dare anymore! Don't cut me! I'm not tasty!"

Xiao Mingxuan smiled silently, "What's wrong with it? It's white and tender, perfect for drinking."

Xihe was almost crying. Why was there someone thinking about killing her every day?

"No, no! I won't come again. I don't want Xihe to be cut into pieces!" The little girl was really scared and threw herself into Xiao Mingxuan's arms and cried.

Xiao Mingxuan smiled knowingly, "Will you dare to run out and trust others next time?"

Xihe immediately shook her head, "Don't worry, little brother, I will never run around again! I won't trust others easily."

Xiao Mingxuan touched the top of the little girl's head with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, brother will protect you. Apart from brother, no one can be trusted."

This world is so dirty, and everything is driven by profit.

Only I, only I treat you best.

So, Xiao Xier, stay with your brother and don’t run around.

Xiao Mingxuan threatened him a few times symbolically and then let him go.

After wiping away her tears, the little girl sniffed and drank the tea brought by Xiao Mingxuan obediently.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Shi Jian opened the door and glanced at Xihe, saying, "Sir, Emperor Jingyuan's men are nearby. You should return to the palace as soon as possible!"

Although Emperor Jingyuan had no intention of torturing the hostage, he still restricted his travel. He was not allowed to go anywhere outside the palace except the National Academy.

"Little brother, you should go back quickly." Xihe stood up and patted his clothes. "I will also go to find my third brother and the others to return to the palace."

Xiao Mingxuan glanced out the window, nodded in agreement, and disappeared after a while.

When Xihe returned, Zhao Siyuan was flipping through a pile of books. He waved to her when he saw her come back.

"Xihe, look. These are the novels that Third Brother just sent someone to buy. They are the latest on the market."

Xihe took a look and suddenly released a depth charge.

"Daddy is here."

Zhao Siyuan was stunned. This time, the person who fell off the stool was Zhao Zhinan.

"What did you say? Who's here?"

Xihe sighed with a fearless attitude and slowly stated a fact, "I just saw Uncle Sanping outside."

Sanping is outside, and the area within a few miles must be full of Emperor Jingyuan's spies.

"What are you standing there for! Let's go!" Zhao Zhinan was the first to come to his senses. He threw away his wine glass and pulled the two girls to run out.

If Emperor Jingyuan knew that he took his sister to a brothel, he would have to depose him.

As soon as he opened the curtain, the Third Prince met Sanping's smiling face, with several imperial guards following behind him.

"Your servant greets the three highnesses. His Majesty is waiting for you. Please come this way."

Sanping's smile was the calm before the storm for Zhao Zhinan.

Zhao Zhinan laughed dryly and waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's rare for your father to leave the palace. I guess he has something important to attend to. I won't bother you, shall I?"

Sanping's smile was unbreakable. "Don't bother me. The matter between His Highness and the two princesses is the most important matter for His Majesty."

Now that things have come to this, it would be unreasonable to refuse.

Zhao Zhinan wiped his face and took the lead with a look of despair.

The two quails, Zhao Siyuan and Xihe, followed obediently behind.

Emperor Jingyuan took a sip of tea and placed the teacup heavily on the table. The sound of the collision was so loud that it frightened the three quails in the middle of the hall.

"Spring Breeze Tower?"

The three quails bowed their heads.

"Peach Blossom Drunk?"

The three quails dared not speak.

"Love, hate, and vengeance among infatuated men and resentful women?"

The three quails trembled.

Emperor Jingyuan flipped through two pages and said meaningfully, "Oh? There are also pornographic pictures?"

The three quails pretended to be dead instantly.

Emperor Jingyuan sneered, "I only come out once every eight hundred years, and I can still encounter such a good show. It seems that you three are having a good time."

The three quails continued to play dead. Anyone who said a word at this time would be walking into the muzzle of a gun.

Emperor Jingyuan had no patience. He knocked on the table twice and said coldly, "Speak! Who took you there?"

The two sisters said in unison, "Third brother brought it!"

Zhao Zhinan: “…” Damn, where is revolutionary friendship?
