On the night of New Year's Eve, the entire capital was plunged into a sea of joy.
The streets of Shangjing City were filled with the cries and shouts of various vendors.
On the side, there were dragon and lion dances to celebrate the coming New Year.
Similarly, Zhao Xiaole's house was also very lively.
Various maids and servants were busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.
From time to time, Zhao Xiaole would ask his servants to check if anyone was outside the door, as if they were waiting for someone.
Seeing Zhao Xiaole take out a bottle of the best Baihua Brew that he brought from Chuzhou, Wang Chaoyun suddenly widened his eyes and said: "Brother Zhao, who are you inviting? I remember this bottle of wine is
You have your favorite bottle of wine hidden away, right?"
Zhao Xiaole smiled and did not answer, but said mysteriously: "You will know when we get here!"
Seeing Zhao Xiaole acting so solemnly, Wang Chaoyun became even more confused. He couldn't help curling his lips and said: "Brother Zhao is now the Marquis. What can make him so nervous? Could it be that the one who comes is the emperor?"
The girls on the side immediately covered their mouths and chuckled. They could all see that Wang Chaoyun was a little jealous.
They all liked this brave yet fragile girl in their hearts.
So they looked at each other and blinked. Qin Cao covered his mouth and said with a smile: "I don't know whether the emperor is coming, but maybe it's a girl!"
"girl?!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Chaoyun's eyes suddenly widened, his two grape-like black eyes filled with panic. He turned around and ran towards Zhao Xiaole, who had already entered the house.
"Pfft hahaha..."
Seeing her panicked look, the girls suddenly burst into laughter.
"Brother Zhao, is the person you are waiting for a boy or a girl?"
When Zhao Xiaole heard this question for the first time, he was stunned for a moment.
If you want to call him a man, the prince's true identity is actually a woman.
But if you say she's a woman, she usually looks at people like a man.
This made Zhao Xiaole suddenly confused, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Seeing his hesitant look, Wang Chaoyun became even more panicked.
Sure enough, is the person he is waiting for a woman?
Her heart suddenly palpitated, and she asked more frequently, wanting to get an answer.
Zhao Xiaole was naturally asked endless questions and could only reply helplessly: "There are men and women!"
"Sure enough, he is waiting for a woman!"
Somehow, Wang Chaoyun seemed to have only heard the last two words.
In other words, she already had the answer deep in her heart.
Now, I am just confirming the answer in my heart!
"Master Marquis, the guests have arrived!"
At this moment, a servant suddenly came in to report.
"Huh? Here we are?"
Zhao Xiaole's eyes suddenly lit up, he quickly stood up and walked towards the gate of the Hou Mansion.
Seeing his hurried look, Wang Chaoyun was even more panicked. She lowered her head and murmured: "Brother Zhao has another woman by his side. He already has ten, and now there is one more. Then I
what to do?"
She was so panicked that she always felt as if Zhao Xiaole would be snatched away by someone else.
Seeing Zhao Xiaole running away, she quickly chased after him and shouted: "Brother Zhao, wait for me..."
At the door, Qin Sining looked at the housekeeper who came in to report, his face was slightly red, and he said with some anxiety: "Brother, today is New Year's Eve, it is a day for family reunion. We and Mr. Zhao are not a family, so it is not good to come here.
Bar?"
How could Qin Yinglong not know what she was thinking? He immediately smiled and said: "Who said we are not a family? You and Zhao Xiaole have been engaged for a long time, and they only have to go to the wedding hall to get married. These are all things that happen sooner or later. What's wrong with you?
Are you embarrassed?"
He smiled very casually and waved his hand.
Qin Sining's complexion suddenly froze, and in an instant, the color went from her cheeks to the root of her neck.
All that sounded in his head were the words "bridal chamber" that Qin Yinglong said.
She immediately stamped her little feet in embarrassment and said, "Brother, what are you talking about?!"
Qin Yinglong also knew that his words were wrong. Facing a girl who had not yet left the court, he should not say anything about the wedding ceremony. He immediately clapped his hands and said, "Haha, my brother made a mistake. But sooner or later, we and Zhao Xiaole will be one family, so why bother?"
Do you care about this?"
"Are you willing to go back and face those old immortals who only think about how we can make money for them?"
The shame in Qin Sining's heart gradually faded away. Although Qin Yinglong's words made her feel a little embarrassed, she was right. She didn't want to go back and face those old guys who had their own agendas.
Only by Zhao Xiaole's side can her heart settle down.
"Little sister, Zhao Xiaole is here!"
Just as he was thinking about it, Qin Sining heard Qin Yinglong suddenly shout in surprise.
This made her heart skip a beat. When she raised her head, she saw Zhao Xiaole running towards her in a hurry.
Seeing the anxious look on his face, Qin Sining was so moved that she wished she could rush up and throw herself into Zhao Xiaole's arms right now.
However, Zhao Xiaole's first words when he came over made her heart suddenly fall from the fairyland to the ice cave.
"Huh? Didn't you say someone is coming?"
In an instant, Qin Sining froze on the spot, the expression on his face seemed to be petrified, and he stared blankly at Zhao Xiaole.
"Um, brother-in-law, weren't you waiting for my sister just now?"
Qin Yinglong was also stunned and winked at Zhao Xiaole crazily.
Zhao Xiaole seemed not to have heard anything and looked around again. Then he came back to his senses with some disappointment. When he heard Qin Yinglong's words, he immediately reacted and nodded: "Oh, yes, that's right! I was just like that
I’m waiting for you, come in quickly!”
With that said, he took Qin Sining's hand and walked into the house.
But Qin Sining was not a fool. He couldn't tell that Zhao Xiaole was lying, so he immediately threw his hand away, turned around and walked out with an angry look on his face.
Qin Yinglong suddenly covered his forehead with a sad expression.
It seems to be saying, I'm working so hard to wink at you, why don't you look back?
Zhao Xiaole also knew that he had made Qin Sining angry, so he quickly caught up to her and explained: "Don't be angry, I did have a very important guest today, so I left you out in the cold. I was wrong. I will show you later.
It’s a surprise, so don’t be angry!”
Qin Sining struggled several times but couldn't break away. He suddenly came back to his senses and glared at Zhao Xiaole with an angry look on his face: "Who were you waiting for just now? Could it be another woman you brought back from some brothel?"
Seeing the dangerous light in her eyes, Zhao Xiaole suddenly felt panicked and didn't know what to say for a moment.
At this moment, an ethereal voice suddenly came from behind them.
