Chapter 23 On the Importance of Teammates!
In the kitchen, Su Xian was busy preparing dishes. They were all home-cooked meals, but the taste was unique.
"Brother~"
Suddenly, a childish voice sounded, so tender and sweet as if it were coated with honey.
Turning my head, I saw a little girl standing timidly at the door. She was wearing a proper palace dress, and had delicate facial features like a porcelain doll, with skin that was moist and as smooth as a baby's.
The girl was only three or four years old and still had some baby fat, but her lively and charming aura was evident, and one could imagine how stunningly beautiful she would be in the future.
"Ke'er, why are you here?"
Seeing the little girl, Su Xian was also stunned, then he walked over with a smile on his face, pinched her baby face, his eyes full of doting.
"Mom said she'd come to see big brother."
Shui Ling's big eyes were pure and flawless. Xue Ke grabbed Su Xian's hand and replied honestly.
Su Xian raised his eyes slightly and asked, "Is your mother here too?"
"Uh-huh."
Xue Ke blinked her eyelashes, her expression sincere, and her cuteness and innocence as refreshing as milk overflowed in an instant.
Su Xian couldn't help but rub her head. Qin Yao on the side interrupted and said:
"The Concubine Yang came here with the Empress, and they should be in the main hall now. The princess insisted on coming to see Your Highness, so I brought her here."
"My mother is here too?"
Su Xian looked a little strange. Xue'er had just come back and she came here now.
Looking at the time, is he here to eat for free? !
Hiss...this is really possible!
If there is something going on in the palace, people usually leave after eating. If they leave at noon, they usually eat outside.
Depend on!
This is the first day of our time together as a couple!
Lady, don't you feel embarrassed to come here and eat for free?
Moreover, there are cliques and factions. Fortunately, there are not 72 concubines in the harem, otherwise I would be exhausted to death!
"Yao'er, go and ask my mother and the others if they want to have dinner at home?" Su Xian ordered immediately with a serious expression.
"Your Highness, the Queen's personal maid has already told me, so it should be correct." Qin Yao replied directly.
Su Xian:...
Oh my god!
Ma'am, you really are here to eat for free!
Could it be that... he gave Xue'er one million and now he feels the pain and wants to take it back?
Shaking his head, Su Xian didn't think too much, looked at Xue Ke, and said softly:
"Ke'er, big brother, I have to cook now. The kitchen is too dirty. Can you go to the front yard to play with your sister-in-law?"
Grabbing Su Xun's arms with both hands, Xue Ke's big eyes were full of expectation, and she said in a baby voice, "Can Ke'er stay here for dinner too?"
Su Xian scratched her nose, his heart already melted by her cute appearance, and said with a smile, "Of course, Ke'er will be able to see delicious food later."
"Whoa whoa."
Xue Ke nodded innocently, turned around and held Qin Yao's finger. The latter was just about to lead her away, but the little girl stopped.
Turning her head to look at Su Xian, Xue Ke bit her lips lightly, worry seemed to overflow from her face, and she looked at Su Xian pitifully with her big eyes:
"Brother, will sister-in-law dislike Ke'er?"
Su Xian couldn't help but laugh and replied, "Don't worry, your sister-in-law is a very nice person. She likes Xiao Ke'er very much."
"Oh, then I'll go find my sister-in-law."
Alas~
Watching Xue Ke leave, Su Xian sighed helplessly and returned to the kitchen.
Now, the task suddenly became difficult!
But who am I to be stumped by such a difficulty? !
Men, just can't say no!
…
Inside the hall, three women were chatting about nothing.
"Ke'er, come here, mother."
Seeing Xue Ke coming back, Yang Fei waved lovingly, then picked her up and said, "Ke'er, is your brother cooking now?"
"Yeah, big brother said he would make something delicious for Ke'er."
Xue Ke swallowed, but her eyes wandered around the hall and finally stopped on Qian Renxue.
"Ke'er, this is your eldest brother's wife, come and call her sister-in-law." Yang Fei said with a smile.
"This is your Aunt Xue's daughter, her name is Xue Ke."
Seeing Qian Renxue's puzzled look, Nangong Ling quickly explained with a gentle look, "As soon as this girl got off the carriage, she yelled that she wanted to go find her eldest brother. No one could stop her."
"Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful."
Xue Ke jumped straight down from Yang Fei's arms and trotted to Qian Renxue. Her black and white eyes were shimmering as she stared at Qian Renxue.
Seeing the cute girl in front of her, Qian Renxue was a little at a loss. She grew up alone in the Spirit Hall and had no experience in dealing with children.
However, Xue Ke's innocent and cute appearance made her unable to help but feel pity for her. She reached out and rubbed her little head, "You are also very beautiful. You will definitely be more beautiful than your sister-in-law when you grow up."
"whee…"
Xue Ke smiled with satisfaction, and looked at Qian Renxue with ignorance and said, "Can Na Ke'er also be Big Brother's wife in the future?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall suddenly became quiet.
Staring blankly at Xue Ke, Qian Renxue's face flushed red, and it felt like a thousand alpaca horses were galloping through her heart.
A little girl of three or four years old is actually trying to steal my husband? !
"Puff…"
Nangong Ling was also amused by this and laughed with her hands covering her mouth.
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid?"
Yang Fei was so embarrassed that she quickly hugged Xue Ke and patted her head, saying with a smile:
"You are your eldest brother's sister, how can you be his wife? Don't say such things in the future, do you hear me?"
Seeing Yang Fei's angry look, Xue Ke's face was full of grievance and confusion. She didn't dare to ask why and could only nod honestly.
"Children's words are innocent, so don't take it too seriously, sister." Nangong Ling comforted her.
"It's my fault for not disciplining my child well enough. I made you and Xue'er laugh at me." Yang Fei apologized with a smile, but her face was very serious.
"No problem..."
"Mother!"
Nangong Ling was about to speak when she was interrupted by a sharp and enthusiastic voice.
I saw two figures walking towards me quickly, one was active and strong, the other was gentle and reserved. Both of them had happy faces, as if they had encountered happy events.
"Meet the Queen Mother, Auntie!"
Seeing that Concubine Yang was also there, Xue Wuji and the other two hurriedly saluted. The former also quickly stood up and raised his jade hand lightly, not daring to be negligent.
"Hello, both of you..."
"Sister-in-law, please don't do that. If brother finds out, he will definitely beat us up." Seeing Qian Renxue trying to pay her a courtesy visit, Xue Wuji and the others were startled and stopped her immediately.
no way!
They can't afford to offend!!
Given that the eldest brother dotes on his wife like crazy, they would rather offend him in person than let her suffer any grievances.
The friendly elder brother suddenly changed his nature and began to value women over his younger brothers. They were so sad that they had no tears to cry!
"Why are you here too?"
Looking at Xue Wuji and the other person, Nangong Ling smiled, obviously knowing why they came, and asked in a confused manner.
"We heard that the Queen Mother was leaving the palace, so we came here to accompany her." Xue Mingtong replied immediately.
"oh?"
With a teasing look in her eyes, Nangong Ling replied, "I think it's getting late, why don't you go back and have dinner first."
Xue Wuji and the other two:...
We have come all this way, how can we leave so easily? !
Don't they have any shame?
Not going!
I won't leave even if you kill me!
"Mother, we are fine too. We will just stay here and chat with you." Xue Mingtong said with a calm expression and an elegant smile.
"For lunch, let's just eat at Big Brother's place." Xue Wuji also immediately expressed his opinion.
"Hiss~ Why are you pinching me, Third Brother?!" As soon as the words fell, Xue Wuji's face turned pale and he became furious.
Xue Mingtong was speechless and felt like he had lost all hope in life:...
You stupid teammate, why are you still telling the truth? !
I really regret teaming up with you!
