Xuan Di knew about the princes' situation in Xiheng Kingdom. Upon hearing Huo Chengche's words, he immediately understood. "So this Lord Cheng is actually part of the Crown Prince's faction. Shouldn't His Highness the Crown Prince be happy?"
Huo Chengche glanced at Xuan Di, then coolly lifted his eyelids, ignoring him, and took his little wife from his arms and headed towards the inner palace.
The little dumpling perched on her older brother's shoulder, her cheeks puffed out in a huff, and she glared fiercely at her fifth brother, shouting, "Fifth brother, what about the braised pork you promised Niannian from Chun Chang Lou?!"
Xuandi looked at his silly younger sister, whose mind was only on food, and almost choked on his breath. He rolled his eyes and said righteously, "Ask your Crown Prince brother. He insisted on dragging us back to the palace. This has nothing to do with your fifth brother."
This time it seems to really be true.
Xuan Di glanced coldly at Huo Chengche, raising an eyebrow in a provocative manner.
Huo Chengche glanced at him, then looked down at his little wife's pink and tender little bun, his thin lips curving slightly, and surprisingly, he did not refute Xuan Di's words.
Xuandi sensed something was wrong, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that no matter how strange things were today, he couldn't be blamed for it!
However, the little girl had already been won over by her older brother's lunch. Compared to her older brother, who always kept his word and was "Niannian's favorite," her fifth brother had lied to her far too many times.
So, the little dumpling pouted, her baby voice sharp and fierce, looking utterly wronged, "How could Fifth Brother say such a thing about Crown Prince! If it weren't for Crown Prince, Niannian would still be hungry at noon today! Fifth Brother only knows how to bully Niannian!"
"How could I have bullied you..." Xuan Di was utterly wronged.
But before he could finish speaking, the pitiful little boy immediately interrupted him with a whimper, counting his fifth brother's crimes one by one on his little fingers, his bright, dark eyes full of adorable accusations.
"..."
"Fifth Brother said yesterday that he would take Niannian out for a big meal, but he still left Niannian in the middle of the city and ran off. If Fifth Brother hadn't taken Niannian to Grandma's house for a meal, Niannian would have gone hungry again!"
"It was the same at noon today. We agreed to take Niannian to eat braised pork at Chun Chang Lou, but in the end, it was still the Crown Prince who fed Niannian!"
"Fifth Brother is a big bad guy who lies to children! Niannian doesn't like Fifth Brother at all!"
The little boy listed all the heinous crimes of Xuandi that he remembered, becoming more and more aggrieved as he spoke. His little mouth was so pouty that it could hang a small oil bottle on it. Finally, he buried his little head in his elder brother's arms, whimpering and not wanting to listen to his fifth brother's sophistry.
Indeed, without comparison, there is no dissatisfaction.
In the past, whenever Xuandi bullied her, although she could complain to her father, she would always be fooled by Xuandi's words, "Next time, your brother will definitely take you..." After all, apart from her fifth brother, no one else would take her out to play often, so Xuandi could easily fool her.
But now, there is a Crown Prince who is much more reliable than my fifth brother. Compared to my fifth brother, the Crown Prince is simply a god-like brother who fell from the sky.
Xuan Di listened to his little sister's accusations and coughed twice, feeling rather ashamed. He muttered to himself, "How can this little darling have such a good memory!"
He looked up and met Huo Chengche's cold and disdainful gaze.
Before he could react, Huo Chengche said, "Fifth Young Master, it's not good for an older brother to be so untrustworthy. It's still early today. If you go out of the palace now to buy braised pork at Chun Chang Lou, you should be able to come back in time for dinner."
