Chapter Eighteen: Emphasizing sex over younger brothers
Qi Jing saw that he didn't even raise his head, and the movements of his hands never stopped. He was focused on the painting in front of him. He pursed his lips and said, "I pay more attention to sex than to brother!"
"Yao Yao~ Who is that girl today? Which girl is she from?"
Qi Xiuyao didn't say anything, so Qi Jing lay his entire upper body on the table nearby and looked at his cousin teasingly.
It's a pity that Qi Xiuyao was too focused on the painting to pay attention to him.
"If you don't tell me, then I will go check it out myself. If you accidentally miss something, don't blame me─"
"What did you say you missed?"
The portrait was completed. Qi Xiuyao stood up straight and stared at the person in the painting with satisfaction. He casually glanced at Qi Jing and said slowly.
Hearing the danger in his tone, Qi Jing smiled flatteringly and quickly straightened up from the table, "Hehehe, no... no, I won't leak anything, I'm just telling you."
Seeing that he knew his appearance, Qi Xiuyao did not scare him too much, "What are you doing here?"
"Yao Yao, are you really a careless person? I just throw it away after you use it during the day. Why don't you allow me to come in at night?"
"Um."
Qi Jing fussed for a long time, pretending to be pitiful, but in the end he only received a nonchalant "hmm" from Qi Xiuyao.
"Huh? Nothing else to say?"
Qi Jing stared at his cousin whom he respected, loved but was afraid of with wide eyes in disbelief. He really couldn't believe that he was so perfunctory with him now.
Qi Xiuyao didn't have time to play the role of brothers and sisters with him late at night. After the ink on the painting he had just painted was dry, he picked up the painting on the table and walked out, "Yaoyao, where are you going?"
"Go to bed."
Hearing the word "go to bed", Qi Jing froze on the spot and stared at his retreating back in disbelief. That's it?
Qi Xiuyao would not ignore him like this when he came to Changle Palace in the past!
"When you have a new love, you forget about the old love!"
Qi Xiuyao's figure had completely disappeared. Qi Jing, who was really depressed, was pacing back and forth in the study. He suddenly raised his head and smiled ferociously, humming, let him sleep!
His body jumped out of the window with a whoosh and went straight to the bird room in the southeast direction of Changle Palace.
"Ying Yi, you said that the young prince refused to leave the front door and insisted on jumping out of the window. What is this habit?"
It wasn't the first day that the young prince climbed out of the window, so Yingyi didn't even look at him.
"Hey, Yingyi, the young prince went to the bird room, this..."
Ying Er watched Qi Jing heading southeast and already guessed what Qi Jing was going to do.
"Master said, I will have fun with the prince tonight."
Qi Xiuyao is the person who knows Qi Jing best, and he will not give up until he causes a scene today.
So he told Ying Yi not to worry about Qi Jing.
There was no one to stop him in Changle Palace, and Qi Jing was about to cause a scene.
He fiddled with the birds in the bird room from Haishi until the end of Yinshi. The whole night, the entire Changle Palace was filled with the chirping of various birds, making people uneasy, so much so that the servants of Changle Palace the next day They all looked depressed.
…
Zhenguo General's Mansion.
Yu Shuyue was sitting on Qianqiu outside her small courtyard at the moment, looking up and staring at the full moon in the night sky in a daze.
Regarding the relationship between Qi Jing and Qi Xiuyao, the version Yu Shuyue heard was that the two had been very quarrelsome since they were children. Before Qi Xiuyao was serious enough to need a wheelchair, the two would often fight.
Later, as the condition of his feet worsened, he finally had to use tools to travel.
Qi Jing had suffered a lot from Qi Xiuyao before. After Qi Xiuyao got into a wheelchair, he often directly said that he was disabled on various occasions without any hesitation.
"Ah Yue, why are you still out so late? There is heavy dew at night, so be careful of catching a cold."
As soon as Yu Heng walked into his sister's yard, he saw her looking up at the moon, enriching peonies to get a thicker blanket, and walking towards Qianqiu.
"Brother, why are you here?"
"I just received a letter from General Zhou. He has arrived outside the Great Wall and will take Yuanyuan back to Beijing tomorrow."
Yu Hengyue took the blanket from Shaoyao's hand and put it on her while answering her.
"Starting tomorrow, we can reach Shangjing in the middle of next month."
Yu Shuyue counted the days with anticipation.
"Okay, let's go back to the room and show off more."
Yu Heng came more specifically to tell her the good news, and he left after she returned to her room.
Today was a fruitful day. Her little friend will come to the capital to accompany her soon, and she even met Qi Xiuyao during the day.
Thinking of the situations she faced several times when she met Qi Xiuyao, Yu Shuyue couldn't help but purse her lips tightly, her eyes filled with deep thought.
Finally, she breathed out a deep breath with a relieved expression on her face.
She was too close to a prince who was not favored and was a thorn in the eyes of many princes. When the time came, there would inevitably be some gossip, but she was not afraid of those people gossiping behind their backs.
She was worried that it would affect her father and brother, so she had better find out their attitude first before making a decision.
Although she was very attached to that dream, if it would bring trouble to the Yu Mansion, this dream was not that important.
Tomorrow morning she would go to explore the attitude of her father and brother. Today she had contact with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. She thought that she would be able to dream tonight. Yu Shuyue couldn't wait to lie down on the bed and close her eyes to quickly fall asleep.
The next morning.
"Miss, is there any happy event today?"
Shaoyao helped Yu Shuyue wash her hands. Seeing that the corners of her young lady's raised lips never fell down, she asked curiously.
"No, I just saw an interesting story, but..."
When Yu Shuyue was mid-sentence, she suddenly remembered the recurring dream of jumping off the city wall, and the corners of her raised lips dropped.
"Miss, what is it?"
Shaoyao saw the drooped corners of her young lady's mouth through the bronze mirror, and couldn't help but tilt her head and reflect on whether she had asked something she shouldn't have asked.
"It's nothing, I just knew in advance that this was a tragic story, so all the sweet scenes I see now have turned into honey in arsenic."
Yu Shuyue was in a happy mood when she woke up in the morning, because although she still couldn't remember the face of the man in the dream last night, she could still remember the story in the dream.
This is good news, after all, she didn't remember the specific scene in the dream when she woke up.
In last night's dream, Shi An and Xiao Mi were already familiar with each other. Shi An was the emperor's most favored daughter, while Xiao Mi was the enemy's hostage.
As a proton living in an enemy country, he was inevitably bullied, but Shi An came to his rescue several times, and the two of them became familiar with each other as they went back and forth.
Originally, the interaction between the two in the dream made Yu Shuyue, a spectator, very happy, but when she turned around and thought of their ending, she couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
