Chapter 427 Why isn’t the second brother back yet?
Suddenly, Xie Mingan walked out on his own initiative.
King Shu's gloomy expression was suddenly startled.
"Xie Shaoqing, why are you here?"
Xie Mingan held up his hands and explained: "Today I came to the banquet, but I didn't expect my sister to be naughty. I was looking for her everywhere. Have you ever seen my sister? She is about this tall. "
He gestured to where his height was.
The King of Shu shook his head: "Princess Funing? I have never seen it before."
Xie Mingan sighed: "Where did this child go? It's really worrying."
As he said that, he raised his head and looked over there. Concubine Qi was facing away from him.
The King of Shu immediately said without changing his expression: "Concubine Qi's ankle is sprained. Can you help her call the palace attendants? Otherwise, it will be inconvenient for me to take care of her here."
"Of course there is no problem." Xie Mingan nodded, pretending Looks like he doesn't know anything.
He did not turn around, but followed the direction from which the King of Shu came, preparing to leave.
Concubine Qi suddenly called to him.
"Is Xie Shaoqing really alone? Why didn't he say anything behind the rockery just now? He suddenly came out and shocked me."
Xie Mingan held his hands and lowered his cold eyebrows.
"I came directly over. Perhaps the rockery blocked my figure so that the empress did not see her and alarm her. It is my fault."
After he finished speaking, Concubine Qi's eyes flashed with a calm smile.
She slowly approached the rockery and glanced at Xie Ming'an's expression from the corner of her eye, only to find that he was expressionless.
Concubine Qi went directly behind the rockery.
Empty.
It seems that there is really only Xie Mingan himself.
She nodded secretly to King Shu.
A smile suddenly appeared on King Shu's face: "I was so concerned about Concubine Qi that I didn't notice Xie Shaoqing's arrival. It doesn't matter. In this case, I will go with you to find the palace servants." "
Yes." Xie Mingan left with King Shu.
Concubine Qi searched the bamboo forest for a long time, and then she felt relieved after confirming that there was no second person.
Soon after the palace attendants came to take Concubine Qi away, Shen Ningning appeared out of thin air from behind the rockery.
She patted her heart with her little hand and looked at Kurosawa with her watery eyes.
Fortunately, there is a fairyland to hide in!
The moment she heard the sound, Xie Mingan pushed her to hide.
After all, it seemed like what they heard was something extraordinary.
One is the emperor's brother, and the other is the emperor's concubine.
Xie Mingan couldn't let them know that Shen Ningning was there, so he simply stepped forward and took over the matter.
When Shen Ningning returned to the banquet, Xie Mingxu and Xu Jingxi came over.
"Where did my sister go? It's easy for us to find her."
Seeing that Xie Mingan did not follow her, Xie Mingxu frowned: "This second brother, did you leave you alone and left?"
"No, the second brother is..." Shen Ningning was about to speak, but she saw Outside the Zhennian Palace, the emperor and the King of Shu entered the palace hand in hand and laughed. Mo Lingwei followed the King of Shu with a calm and friendly smile.
That was the uncle he said was the best to him.
She pursed her pink lips and stared at them with her dark eyes.
Where is her second brother?
The ministers and female relatives stood up and greeted the emperor and the King of Shu. Shen Ningning also stood up with her father and brothers.
When the emperor led the King of Shu past Shen Ningning's table, the King of Shu stopped deliberately.
"This is Princess Funing, right?" The King of Shu smiled and had a face similar to that of the emperor, but he had a broader forehead and higher brow bones.
The emperor laughed: "Yes, this is what I have always told you, to use miracles to save our blessed girl of Cangyun Kingdom!"
"Ning Ning, you can call me King Shu or uncle."
Shen Ningning lowered her head, so Zuo was embarrassed and said: "How can that be done? It's against the rules."
His father Xie Suzhi also nodded: "Your Majesty loves me so much, I would like to thank you. It's just that His Highness the King of Shu has a distinguished status. Ning Ning can't make any mistakes."
The King of Shu smiled. : "What's the matter? I liked Ning Ning as soon as I saw him. By the way, Ning Ning, I just saw your second brother looking for you."
Shen Ningning raised her watery eyes and blinked her big eyes curiously: "Smelly second brother Brother? Huh, I got rid of him on purpose, otherwise, he would always nag me." He
said this in front of everyone, which caused everyone to laugh in unison.
Xie Suzhi shook his head helplessly and looked at his daughter with doting eyes.
"The emperor and the prince laughed at each other. Ning Ning and her second brother have never dealt with each other." The King of Shu secretly observed Shen Ningning for a moment, and his laughter became more hearty: "A daughter like this should be pampered by her brothers. Come on, Ningning, this is a gift from the prince and uncle."
He put a string on his wrist He took off the red sandalwood bead and handed it to Shen Ningning.
Shen Ningning couldn't refuse after several attempts, so Shen Ningning had no choice but to accept.
Mo Lingwei stood aside and kept looking at the little girl with a smile.
He was also very happy to see her being loved by his family.
However, for some reason, Mo Lingwei always felt that the smile in Shen Ningning's eyes was a bit forced.
During the banquet, Shen Ningning ate a little absentmindedly.
Brother Xie Mingxu was keenly aware of it: "What's wrong? I don't have any appetite?"
She didn't even eat much of her favorite chicken drumsticks with sauce.
But Shen Ningning murmured, "Brother, why hasn't the second brother come back yet?"
After she said this, Xie Mingxu and Xu Jingxi looked around together.
Everyone drank and exchanged glasses with each other.
Indeed, Xie Mingan was not seen.
Shen Ningning even began to be afraid, wouldn't the King of Shu silence his second brother?
Just when Xie Mingxu stood up and was about to go out to look for it.
Xie Mingan is back. The emperor took the initiative to show
concern: "Xie Shaoqing, why did you come just now?"
Already sitting here enjoying the delicious food."
Everyone burst into laughter.
What he said was exactly the same as what Shen Ningning just said.
He was indeed thrown away by Princess Funing.
The King of Shu smiled and said, "You brother and sister have a very good relationship. As a brother, you should make your sister less angry."
"Your Majesty said that." Xie Mingan handed over and sat in the Xie family's banquet room.
Shen Ningning's hanging heart finally calmed down.
Holding the tea cup in her little hand, she pretended to drink water and whispered to Xie Ming'an beside her: "Second brother, how do you know what excuse I used to deal with the King of Shu?"
Xie Ming'an chuckled, his stern eyebrows filled with pride.
"Don't even look at what your second brother does?" He smiled.
Then, he saw that the chicken legs on the plate in front of Shen Ningning were not moved.
"Aren't you able to eat when the second brother is not here? Don't you worry about me? Eat, I'm back, nothing happened, they won't suspect you."
Shen Ningning made a face at him angrily: "Who is worried about you? Come on, you stinky second brother!"
She is already a ten-year-old girl, and her father has said that she should eat politely!
Therefore, it is no longer like when I was a kid, I grabbed the chicken legs and gnawed them, making my face and hands all greasy.
Instead, Xie Mingxu and Xu Jingxi helped her peel off the meat from the chicken legs bit by bit.
The three brothers sat around Shen Ningning, taking turns taking care of her.
The ladies around them couldn't take their eyes away from the Xie family.
The two brothers Xie Suzhi and Xie Di are handsome and noble. They are both middle-aged, but they have a calm and profound aura.
Not to mention the three Xie brothers.
The boss, Xie Mingxu, has outstanding military exploits and is the most prestigious general in the imperial court. He has sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, is as tall and tall as a pine tree, and is extraordinarily heroic.
Recently, he has reached the age of marriage, and many aristocratic families have fallen in love with him.
The second eldest son, Xie Mingan, is young and holds a fourth-rank official position. His eyes are sharp and dark, as awe-inspiring as nine feet of ice, his eyebrows are handsome and he is tall.
I heard that he was rated by the ladies in the capital as the husband with the worst temper.
The third child, Xu Jingxi, also known as Xie Mingyuan, was a born prodigy and was recorded in the Imperial Academy as a candidate for official status by the emperor. He was just waiting to enter the official career after leaving the Chinese Academy of Sciences and rise to prominence.
He was as cold as a pines and bamboos, more like a quiet cool moon.
He would only show a gentle smile when facing familiar people.
There were so many outstanding people in the Xie family who doted on Shen Ningning, making all the noble ladies envious.
After the banquet, Shen Ningning wanted to leave immediately with her family.
Unexpectedly, Mo Lingwei would keep her here.
He held her hand: "My eldest aunt said she wanted to meet you."
