"You came back at the right time. I'm planning to go to the Imperial Master's house to propose marriage in the next few days."
Xia Feng smiled lightly and patted Sikong Hui on the shoulder.
"Brother Hui, on the wedding day, you must come with me to welcome the bride."
"What did brother say? This is what I should do!"
The three of them turned around and walked towards the imperial city.
On both sides of the ancient street, countless Daxia people applauded and cheered, just like a grand ceremony.
Especially at this time, Sikong Hui, who was surrounded by Xia Feng and Qiao Shuang, attracted the attention of countless people.
"Do you think...General Sikong and Miss Shuang'er are more suitable for each other?"
"You don't want to live anymore!! If the eldest prince hears this, you will be exterminated by the nine tribes!"
"How could it be possible? How could the eldest prince, who is kind-hearted by nature, get angry at me because of a joke? I really hope that the three of them can be as close as they are now!"
"Yes! In this way, our national destiny in Great Xia will be prosperous."
"hehe."
Hearing what the passerby said, Sikong Hui immediately shook his head and smiled, then turned to look at Xia Feng, "Brother, you won't mind, right?"
"How could it be! I regard you as my younger brother, and Shuang'er is your sister-in-law. It's true that we are intimately connected!"
Xia Feng smiled calmly, his eyes clear.
Beside Sikong Hui, Qiao Shuang lowered her head shyly.
It wasn't until the three of them arrived at Zhenyuan Uncle's Mansion that Xia Feng stopped and said, "Brother Hui, when you return to the capital this time, you will definitely be promoted to an official position. You should go back to the mansion to rest first. My father has ordered us to book a banquet and invite everyone in the capital to do so.
The clan master will celebrate with you."
"Okay! Brother! Then I'll go see my father first. We won't come back until we get drunk tonight."
Sikong Hui bowed, but at this moment, Qiao Shuang suddenly pursed her red lips tightly and said, "Brother Feng, maybe I haven't seen Uncle Sikong for a long time. You don't mind if I go to visit his old man with Brother Hui?"
"I don't mind! Of course I don't mind! Come to Yunmeng Xianlou with Brother Hun that night!"
Xia Feng chuckled lightly and turned around.
From beginning to end, there was no trace of gloom on his face, and he seemed to really not mind the closeness between Qiao Shuang and Sikong Hui.
In the realm, Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows lightly.
Is this Xia Feng really innocent, or is he not in love with Qiao Shuang?
Doesn't he know that there is something more delicious than dumplings in this world?
Your daughter-in-law has gone to live with someone else, how can you still be so calm and angry?
Interesting, looks like I need to give you something exciting to play.
But before that, Ling Xiao still felt that he should test him first to see if he knew the secret of his demonic body in his previous life.
"Shuang'er!"
It wasn't until Xia Feng walked away that Sikong Hui smiled gently and reached out to rub Qiao Shuang's hair out of habit.
"We haven't seen each other for three years, and she has grown into a big girl."
"Brother Hui, you can't touch me like this anymore, otherwise if others see it, it will be easy to misunderstand...then..."
Qiao Shuang's face turned red, looking like she wanted to hide but was reluctant to do so.
"Oh, I forgot, you are my sister-in-law now."
Sikong Hui smiled bitterly and took his hand back, looking a little lonely.
Although Xia Sheng's lineage is a prince, they did not dare to get too close to the Imperial Prefect's Mansion before, lest they arouse Xia Yong's suspicion.
Therefore, it was Sikong Hui who was really close to Qiao Shuang when she was young.
But at that time, the Sikong clan was not in a high position, but Qiao Yunli was already a national master.
In his heart, Sikong Hui felt that he was not worthy of Qiao Shuang.
But now, the new emperor has succeeded to the throne, and the Sikong clan has done great work in protecting the dragon, and has just become the most prosperous clan in Daxia today.
The beauty is still the same, I am successful and famous, but... I love her so much that I can't express it, and she has become my sister-in-law!
Sorry!
But today, Sikong Hui is relieved.
Xia Feng is upright, low-key, and extremely talented. He is better than him, Sikong Hui, in every aspect.
Shuang'er, it's worth it.
"Sister-in-law? Brother Hui, do you really think so?"
The corner of Qiao Shuang's mouth seemed to be a little sad, and Sikong Hui's silent heart suddenly felt a ripple inexplicably.
"Recently, the news that you returned to the imperial capital and was granted a title has spread. Many people with good intentions have begun to spread rumors, saying that you...were hurt in your heart, so you chose to go to the border to conquer. They said...that you have always been interested in me...is it true?"
Qiao Shuang gritted her teeth and rubbed her clothes uneasily with her hands, looking nervous.
"Nonsense!! This is simply a rumor! Who said that? I will kill all his families!! You regard you as your sister and the eldest prince as your brother. You two are getting married. I am happy from the bottom of my heart, so why should I be sad?
talk!!"
Sikong Hui seemed very excited, and his voice was full of anger.
Qiao Shuang just looked at him calmly, and finally nodded with a smile.
But the inadvertent sadness in her eyes instantly made Sikong Hui's heart tremble again.
What happened to Shuang'er today?
Why are you happy sometimes and depressed the next?
Also, did I say anything wrong?
Why is there...some loneliness and bitterness in her eyes?
"Brother Hui, I wish you can find a true love."
In the end, Qiao Shuang didn't say anything more, her brows seemed to be filled with sadness, and she walked towards the outside of the house.
"Shuang'er? Shuang'er?"
The more Sikong Hui shouted, the faster Qiao Shuang walked, and finally she covered her lips with one hand and ran away.
"Shuang...er..."
how come?
What is a true good relationship?
What happened to Shuang'er?
Could it be that...Xia Feng was not good to her?
"Hier, are you back?"
In the distant hall, a cheer suddenly came from the hall.
Immediately afterwards, a majestic imperial power filled the air, and the figure of Zhenyuan Zhongyibo Sikong Yu swept from the void, looking at the young man in front of him with joy.
"Huh? Huier is unhappy?"
But when he saw the gloomy look in Sikong Hui's eyes, this important minister who was now at the height of the summer suddenly frowned.
"Father! I'm back!"
Sikong Hui bowed and bowed, while Sikong Yu waved his hand and sent down a ray of spiritual light, covering the entire palace.
"Huier, can you say it now?"
"What does father think of the eldest prince?"
After all, Sikong Hui had not returned to the imperial capital for three years. He and Xia Feng had met on the battlefield, fought enemies together, experienced life and death, and became Mo Ni.
Can…
If he really wanted to betray Qiao Shuang, he would naturally not allow it.
"The eldest prince? Xia Feng?"
Sikong Hui's eyes darkened, and a ray of momentum spread out from his body unconsciously, like a roiling river and sea, shocking the sky.
"This son... has an extremely deep heart. I think that Daxia will eventually fall into his hands. Huier, I know that you two have a deep friendship, but as a king and emperor, how can I really have friendship with you? But
They are just coveting the current status of our Si Kong family."
Sikong Yu took a deep look at the young man in front of him, raised his hand and patted his shoulder gently.
"My son is still young, so you don't need to consider some things for the time being. Xia Feng took the initiative to befriend you, which proves that our Si Kong family is strong. As long as we are strong enough, the royal family will not be afraid."
"Father, what you mean is that Xia Feng wants to use the power of our Sikong clan to ascend to the throne?"
Inexplicably, Sikong Hui suddenly felt a complex emotion in his heart.
"Otherwise, why do you think he traveled all the way to the border and appeared in your army so coincidentally? When you joined the army, I spent a lot of time to keep this secret, just to let the emperor see your generals.
"
Sikong Hui sneered, how could he not see through the emperor's mind even though he had been an official for hundreds of years?
Those who are emperors study the way of governing people.
Those who are officials naturally study the way of conducting themselves in the world.
This is the difference between a court and a sect. Strength is indeed the basis for standing at the top.
But if you want to achieve eternal hegemony and rise above the court, you must...understand people's hearts!
"Father...what if...I don't want Xia Feng to be the prince?"
