Lan Tingche was completely stunned by the kiss. They had kissed before, but only on the cheek.
When Long'er tried to leave his room, the man hooked his little finger around it, and he blushed and pleaded.
"One more time, Ryuu."
Huo Xiaolong liked Lan Tingche's appearance, so he kissed him openly.
As soon as the girl stepped outside, she was greeted by her father, who stood with his arms crossed over his chest. Long'er blushed, scratched her head, and asked...
"Dad, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"you……"
The eagle wanted to rebuke Huo Xiaolong, but couldn't bring itself to say it. One reason was that it couldn't bear to part with him, and the other was... well, it just couldn't bear to part with him.
"I've come to have a heart-to-heart talk with your brother."
"Okay, then go ahead, just don't fight, okay?"
"knew."
Huo Shuwen knocked on the door, and Huo Xiaolong bumped into his older brother, Huo Xiaocheng, who was going back to get his weapons. Huo Xiaocheng was carrying a spear in one hand and a sword in the other.
"Why didn't Brother Erhei come?" Huo Xiaolong asked subconsciously.
The three of them usually pick fights with Lan Tingche together.
"Erhei is sleeping."
The eagle was already asleep when it heard Miao Cuifang's angry roar, and it knew that its home had been robbed again.
How can we tolerate this?
Huo Xiaolong didn't want to leave; she was afraid that Tingche wouldn't be able to win, so she wanted to step in and break up the fight.
The door creaked open.
Lan Tingche hadn't even changed his clothes, and under the moonlight, he looked cold and fragile.
He waved to Huo Xiaolong.
He gestured for her to go back.
It's okay, there are only two today, he can beat them.
Huo Shuwen knew his daughter was mentally unstable; he could tell from her behavior during the war. To put it bluntly, if Lan Tingche and she were to get together first, it would be because his daughter had taken the initiative.
There was no other reason than that Lan Tingche dared not.
Unusually, the eagle didn't make a move today; instead, he chatted with his son and Lan Tingche.
“You know Long’er’s temper. She does whatever she wants. She really likes you, even more than she likes Xiongzai, maybe almost as much,” Huo Shuwen said earnestly as he sat in front of the man.
"So next time, if she touches you first, you should stay away, Tingche. A man has to be reserved. He can't let a woman get her way too easily, or he'll become worthless, you know?" Huo Xiaocheng said, sounding like he had experience.
Lan Tingche poured them both a cup of tea and asked in return...
"When Chunying kissed you back then, did you dodge it, brother?"
Huo Xiaocheng's eyes darted away.
"We have to hide...we must hide! This is the tradition of the Huo family."
"Really? I don't believe it."
Lan Tingche's unhurried tone made even the eagle laugh in exasperation.
What they said makes sense; he didn't shy away when He Yi took the initiative back then.
But this is my daughter, it's different!
"I have only one request for you both."
"Uncle Huo, please speak."
"Feelings should be expressed but restrained by propriety."
"Yes, Uncle Huo."
Lan Tingche stood up, bowed to Huo Shuwen, and said respectfully.
"Father, are you just going to let him go like this?"
"What can we do if we don't let her go? Your sister took the initiative."
On their way back to the brothel, the father and son were both in a daze. Growing up in a brothel had one major drawback: they could take whoever they wanted, and once they took a liking to someone, they had to win them over.
It's all the fault of these older women if I can't win them over.
Even if Huo Xiaolong is a little pig, she has learned how to manipulate her sweetheart.
While Cen Ang feared Lan Tingche would seize power, the Huo family was leisurely eating and drinking.
You're saying Lan Tingche seized power?
That kid, he's going to seize power?
Wouldn't those women at the brothel tear him apart?
Huo Xiaolong took out the evidence he had just obtained from Mr. Li, which was exactly the same as the one given to him by the Empress.
One letter arrived, and one letter returned.
It was basically asking the people in the Taoist temples outside the capital to prepare explosives, which would be used in a few days.
They didn't say what they would do, they were just preparing.
One letter is still missing.
It is the final piece of evidence, the kind of evidence that can crush an emperor and prevent him from ever recovering.
Long'er waved her hand and put the letter into her spatial storage.
Go to sleep quickly, we still have to go to the palace tomorrow.
The envoy from Da'an did not leave; they still wanted to arrange a marriage alliance.
But this time it's different; Da'an has eagerly sent over a princess.
The main concern was that Huo Xiaolong might raise his flag and attack their Da'an, and that Huang Ranhu would die, only to have his head taken back to Dayan by Huo Xiaolong.
This time, they want to exchange a princess for Huang Ranhu's head.
It's so tedious and annoying.
Long'er thought to herself, "Why don't we just fight our way to Da'an?"
We can't keep causing so much trouble.
The next day, at the palace.
This is a matter for the inner palace, but the Prince of Zhenbei can also come. Not only can he come, but he will also bring the remnants of the former crown prince with him.
Oh, I can't say remnants.
At least don't let those two aunts hear it.
They both had official positions in the palace, legitimate head palace maids, almost on par with those in charge.
