Chapter 67: Differences among the Xiao Family



"I knew it! Only a prince could do this. Look at this perfect bandage technique on a perfectly healthy hand."

Xiao Shang's occupational disease came up. Now that he was middle-aged, he couldn't help but accept disciples.

As time goes by, I learn and cultivate, and gradually I develop the habit of judging other people's medical skills.

He had a simple mind and just thought about it, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Xiao Linting giving him a cold look, forcing him to change the subject.

Jiang Qingqing just raised the corners of her lips and looked at Xiao Shang's funny reaction with a smile.

"Since you're here, just re-bandage her." Xiao Linting saw that Jiang Qingqing's mouth was empty, so he fed the fruit pulp in his hand into her mouth again.

Then he wiped the orange juice off his fingertips, stood up and walked out.

Jiang Qingqing's mouth was full of fruit pulp, and she was about to mumble and ask him where he was going. But Xiao Shang, who was more fluent than her, asked before her.

"Where is the prince going?!"

"Go and check the news about the Xiao family." Xiao Linting raised his hand and waved, then spoke calmly to Xiao Shang.

Jiang Qingqing quickly swallowed the fruit in her mouth. She looked at the middle-aged man in front of her with her round eyes, and was quite curious.

She had never seen Xiao Linting so relaxed with anyone. Even when he was with her brothers, he always showed a calm expression.

In short, I usually keep a distance from everyone.

"Your Highness, are you curious about my identity?" Xiao Shang was struggling to dismantle Xiao Linting's masterpiece.

Although he was frowning and unpacking something without raising his head, he could accurately feel Jiang Qingqing's gaze.

Jiang Qingqing nodded.

"Well, everyone who sees me asks me curiously. I'm tired of introducing myself now." Xiao Shang looked like a middle-aged man, with slight wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

But he has an elegance and composure rarely seen in middle-aged men.

In short, he does exude the temperament of an adult man.

Compared to Xiao Linting, who is a young boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, Xiao Shang is more stable.

"You can boldly introduce yourself." Jiang Qingqing smiled in her heart, and then hinted to Xiao Shang that he could introduce himself in a different way.

Encouraged by Jiang Qingqing's invisible gaze, Xiao Shang looked at the clear eyes of the little guy, and without warning, a fierce evil spirit rose in his heart!

"Okay! Actually, I'm Xiao Linting's uncle!"

"OK?"

Jiang Qingqing was almost taken away by Xiao Shang's posture.

She reacted slowly, then looked Xiao Shang up and down suspiciously.

Although Xiao Linting was younger, he had been to the battlefield and seen the world. His maturity gave him a unique temperament, with a calmness that came from seeing through the world, and a youthful vigor that was full of righteousness.

In addition, there was a sense of righteousness between Xiao Linting's brows.

In short, in Jiang Qingqing's opinion, Xiao Linting is definitely a gentleman.

The main reason was that she had never seen Xiao Linting use any tricks in the officialdom. All her current feelings were based on her filter that the imperial uncle was a great man.

Compare it with the middle-aged man in front of you.

Xiao Shang is indeed good-looking, but he lacks that calm aura and instead appears a bit... frivolous?

"What! Doesn't it look like the same?!" Xiao Shang felt the little guy's distrust.

He blew his nose and glared at the little kid in front of him, and said unwillingly: "In the Xiao family's genealogy, he, Xiao Linting, has to respectfully call me uncle!"

Jiang Qingqing felt that this identity was really meaningless. She thought there would be some twists and turns, but it turned out to be because he was a member of the Xiao family.

We are one family with the Emperor's uncle.

No wonder the emperor's uncle is so friendly.

Jiang Qingqing stretched out her hand slightly, placed the half-opened gauze fist in front of Xiao Shang, and urged him, "Okay, okay, I know you are Uncle Xiao, hurry up."

"Little guy, you are disrespectful to your elders!"

"Well, if you are disrespectful, go and sue me."

"Who?"

Jiang Qingqing tilted her head and thought for a while, then said casually, "It's all right. My father is busy with many things, so you may not be able to see him. How about you try to tell the Empress? Or Concubine Zhao will do."

"...You, you, you..." Xiao Shang really didn't expect that this little guy would be so self-righteous.

Jiang Qingqing nodded seriously, and she stretched out her little hand to declare her presence.

"If it really doesn't work, you can tell the nearest person, such as the Emperor's uncle." Jiang Qingqing felt that the man in front of her had a good temper and a smart mind.

Joking with him is much more interesting than playing with Jiang Chen in the palace.

Xiao Shang was extremely angry. He didn't expect that the little princess, who was considered well-behaved by Xiao Linting, would behave like this in front of him!

He couldn't say anything else for a moment, and could only lower his head and concentrate on unravelling the circles of gauze fists.

When Jiang Qingqing saw that her hands were freed, she moved her ten fingers flexibly and breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Shang was so choked by Jiang Qingqing's words that he sat down in the seat where Xiao Linting had just sat.

He caught a glimpse of the peeled orange flesh out of the corner of his eye, and simply picked up the entire crystal bowl and stuffed the oranges into his mouth.

"Hmm? Not bad, not bad. This orange is actually so sweet."

Jiang Qingqing was about to continue eating her fruit with her hands freed, but when she turned around she saw the culprit, sitting lazily on the armchair, holding the fruit that belonged to her and eating it contentedly.

"!!!" Her fruit.

Jiang Qingqing immediately frowned and looked at the person in front of her angrily.

"My uncle peeled this fruit for me! If you want to eat it, peel it yourself!"

"I'm almost done eating, why are you telling me this now?"

Xiao Shang shamelessly continued to eat the fruit in the bowl, his mumbling words were a little unclear.

"you!"

The angry voice of the little baby was heard outside the house. At this moment, Xiao Linting had arranged the carriage back to the palace and walked into the yard.

Suddenly, Xiao Linting's face darkened. He walked into the house quickly and took a quick look. He saw that the little girl's hands were untied, with a circle of white gauze around them. She had her hands on her waist and looked at the person in front of her angrily.

Xiao Shang held the empty crystal bowl and looked at him innocently.

"Your Highness, this fruit is not labeled with your name. I thought the servants just peeled it today."

Jiang Qingqing took a breath, what a bad guy who complained first.

"Nonsense, I've already told you, this bowl was given to me by the Emperor's uncle! You ate my fruit pulp and you didn't even say sorry to me, and you're even the first to complain. How can you be like that!"

The little girl spoke so anxiously that her voice broke after several sentences.

Xiao Linting quickly assessed the situation at the scene. He walked to Jiang Qingqing, touched the back of her head with his big hand, bent his knees and squatted down to look her in the eye.
