Chapter 304: The Drunken Man's Intentions Are
Not Drinking Xiao Heng was in high spirits and didn't notice the strange expressions of Su Lingxi and Su Xiaoxiao.
"How do I look? Am I energetic? Am I too thin?" Xiao Heng asked seriously.
"Second Prince, are you okay?" Su Lingxi asked anxiously.
Xiao Heng finally regained some of his sanity. He shook his head awkwardly and said, "I know I look a little strange now, but I haven't seen my mother and sister for too long. I want them to see the best of me!"
Su Lingxi suddenly didn't think Xiao Heng was funny. He just wanted his loved ones to see his best side, even if they were just ghosts.
"Very good, really, very good!" Su Lingxi was a little choked up. Xiao Heng was too miserable!
"Then what should I do now, how can I see them!" Xiao Heng seemed impatient.
Su Xiaoxiao wanted to tell him that it was not that troublesome, it was just a dream, these material things would not enter the dream.
However, since Xiao Heng was so attentive, she would fulfill his painstaking efforts.
Su Xiaoxiao said: "Since you want to fall asleep, you should fall asleep first!"
"Sir Su, Princess, I'm sorry!" Xiao Heng saluted Su Lingxi and the others, then walked quickly to the bed, and lay down carefully, fearing that his clothes would be wrinkled.
Su Lingxi was stunned. The second prince of Dongling was too much. Although she was an official, she was a woman after all. How could she watch a man sleep?
Su Lingxi immediately turned her head and left the room with a red face.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say.
Xiao Heng lay obediently and asked expectantly: "Princess, I'm ready. Can I see my mother and sister when I fall asleep?"
Jiang Ping was also dumbfounded by Xiao Heng's actions. His second prince was cold and distant, and kept people at a distance. Why is he silly and cute now, like a child of a few years old. Jiang Ping
asked carefully: "Your Highness, you just slept for a day and a night, and now it's broad daylight, can you still sleep?"
"You have to sleep even if you can't sleep, don't bother me!" Xiao Heng said firmly, then looked at Su Xiaoxiao and said in a pleading tone: "Princess Anle, then I'll trouble you."
After that, Xiao Heng closed his eyes obediently and waited to fall asleep.
Jiang Ping sighed slightly. His second prince was indeed pitiful.
"Princess Anle, this..." Jiang Ping looked at Su Xiaoxiao.
She had ten thousand ways to make people fall asleep. Although it was impossible to let the soul fall asleep during the day, it was too hard to let Xiao Heng wait awake.
She pointed her finger, and Xiao Heng fell into a deep sleep.
"It doesn't matter, let's all go out!" Su Xiaoxiao said, and left the room.
Jiang Ping praised sincerely: "The princess's ability is really unfathomable. Jiang admires it. What should we do next?"
"Wait!" Su Xiaoxiao said concisely.
They waited until night, the moon was bright, the stars were sparse, and the cool breeze was blowing.
Su Xiaoxiao led the souls of Xiao Heng's mother and sister into his dream.
Cheng Xingzuo began to play the music for the souls, and the whole inn was quiet and peaceful.
Time passed slowly, and Xiao Heng's room was still as quiet as before.
Jiang Ping was visibly nervous: "Please sit down, Lord Su and the princess, I'll go see my prince."
Su Xiaoxiao stopped him and said, "He is saying goodbye to his relatives, don't disturb him!"
Hearing this, Jiang Ping retreated again.
Su Lingxi looked at Jiang Ping and said gently, "Lord Jiang is loyal to the Second Prince. I can see that you are really worried about him."
Jiang Ping said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Lord Su is too flattering. Since I am the Second Prince's adviser, I must always put him first."
After hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao also looked at Jiang Ping and muttered in her heart: [This Jiang Ping's life experience is very similar to that of Brother Kang. They both came from poor families. Unfortunately, Jiang Ping was not so lucky. His test scores were taken by someone else and he was almost killed. It was Xiao Heng who saved him.
This time, except for Xiao Dao, the people around him were all the people of the First Prince. This Jiang Ping was also blocking the way and insisted on coming with him.
Knowing that Xiao Heng was indifferent, Jiang Ping said that he followed him to avoid being hunted down, and Xiao Heng actually believed him. Jiang Ping saw the filth of the Dongling royal family and wanted to set things right. As long as Xiao Heng's fighting spirit was ignited, the two of them would be a golden pair. 】
After listening to Su Xiaoxiao's words, Su Lingxi had a better impression of Jiang Ping. It turned out that he was a passionate young man with real talents and revenge like Kang Lun, which made him look at him with new eyes.
Su Lingxi was thinking about it when someone outside reported that the Crown Prince had arrived.
Su Lingxi hurriedly led everyone to pick up the car. Everyone saluted obediently, except Su Xiaoxiao who threw herself into Gu Huaiyu's arms and said softly, "Prince brother, Xiaoxiao hasn't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much!"
Gu Huaiyu's eyebrows were as beautiful as a painting, and the tenderness in his eyes was about to overflow: "It's my fault, Prince brother. I've been too busy recently and haven't visited you. Come, Prince brother, hug me!"
"Xiaoxiao is already a big girl. Prince brother can't hold her!" Su Xiaoxiao quickly refused.
Although Su Xiaoxiao is only five years old now, the prince is already eleven years old. Many noble families want to send their daughters to the palace to be educated and have more contact with the prince, so that they can get the upper hand.
Zhao Wanyue didn't want Xiaoxiao to be the target of criticism, but she couldn't explain it to Xiaoxiao clearly, so she had to tell her that the prince was busy with work and she couldn't always go to the palace to disturb him. Now Xiaoxiao is also a big girl, she can't always let the prince hold her, Xiaoxiao remembered this sentence.
Su Xiaoxiao loves to eat. Her height and weight are much higher than children of the same age. How can Gu Huaiyu not notice it?
In order to be able to hold Xiaoxiao normally, he added an extra hour of martial arts class every day, specifically for strength training.
The sandbags he trained on increased as Xiaoxiao's weight increased, and it was easy to hold Xiaoxiao.
He held Xiaoxiao, lifted her high and said, "When Xiaoxiao grows up, the prince brother will be able to hold you."
Su Xiaoxiao giggled happily, "Prince brother is great, mother is wrong."
The prince still smiled like a spring breeze, and he already knew what Zhao Wanyue was worried about. Although he didn't express it in words, he was thinking long-term in his heart, how to make the Su family feel at ease.
Seeing his sister behave so rudely, Su Lingxi hurriedly called someone over and apologized, "Your Highness, I am sorry for my rude behavior. Please forgive me."
Gu Huaiyu was inevitably disappointed. His father was suspicious, and the Su family began to keep their distance from him.
He could only smile and say, "It's okay. I heard that the second prince was ill, so I came to see him. How is he now?"
Su Lingxi was puzzled. The emperor wanted to leave the second prince alone. His presence was enough, so why did the crown prince come again? Isn't the person behind the crown prince Kang Lun? When did this diplomatic matter involve the Imperial College?
