The Phoenix is Back - Chapter 59
Chapter 059 The Black-bellied Prince
The Crown Prince suddenly stood up from the stage, “How is this possible!”
“Good! Sure enough, Men Wujiazi! As expected of the grandson who was taught by the Marquis of Loyalty!” The Emperor suddenly stood up and laughed loudly. Finally, he turned to look at Gu An and said, “Gu An, what do you think?”
“Your Majesty has a keen eye for geniuses. Looking at him, I can’t help but recall the heroism of Lord Marquis when he took the head of the enemy from the army alone.” Gu An looked at Xiao Xiyang with praise in his eyes.
Back then, the emperor had personally conquered the Northern Desert, so he didn’t want the Northern Desert to set up an ambush, surrounded him heavily, and fought back. Fortunately, Xiao Qi had brought over a thousand cavalry generals over at that time, killing the enemy generals’ heads and rescuing him. It was precisely because of this that Xiao Qi, an unknown young general, was loyally waiting on the cover.
The emperor stood up and walked to Xiao Xiyang, patting his shoulder, “Indeed, the future is terrifying. In the future, follow Gu An well, your future will definitely not be inferior to your grandfather!”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Hearing the Emperor’s words, Xiao Xiyang’s face was filled with excitement.
The Emperor smiled and looked at Zhang Shichang. “It’s been a while since we came out. Little Chang Zi, let’s go back.”
“Chi.” Zhang Shichang hurriedly knelt on the ground and answered. Then, he raised his sharp voice and shouted again, “Your Majesty, return to the palace!”
“Greetings, Your Majesty.” Everyone shouted in unison.
Wu Guang Yang slowly carried the dragon carriage far away.
The Crown Prince stood up and walked to Xiao Xiyang’s side. He raised his eyebrows and stared at Xiao Xiyang with a faint smile. “Young Master Xiao really is a hero! This Crown Prince is here to congratulate Young Master Xiao first.” Without waiting for Xiao Xiyang to reply, he waved his long sleeve and led the others away.
“Looks like the Crown Prince is very angry this time!” Chu Muzhi smiled faintly as he watched the Crown Prince leave.
Chu Xizhi raised his eyebrows slightly, “Who cares about him!”
Chu Muzhi turned around and looked at Chu Xizhi seriously. “Seventh Brother, did you say that you are very black-bellied?”
His words just now made Father Emperor suspicious. Father Emperor definitely wouldn’t seize the position of deputy commander of Fourth Emperor Brother Yan Yunwei. How much effort did the Crown Prince expend to obtain it? Because of these words of Seventh Emperor Brother, it was gone. I’m sure the Crown Prince and Fourth Brother will be so angry that they will vomit blood when they return.
Chu Xizhi raised his eyebrows and his long and narrow gaze slowly slid past Chu Muzhi. “Oh, there is indeed an ignorant person who said these words to me.”
Chu Muzhi rubbed his nose.
He dared to say that he was black in front of this black-bellied person. It seemed that he really did not know whether to die or not.
“Forget it, I won’t say anything. Ah Yi, my hand hurts badly. Help me go back and ask Imperial doctor to take a look.” Chu Muzhi waved his uninjured hand and leaned against A Yi’s side, pretending to walk back.
At this time, the coachman from the Xiao Clan also drove the carriage over.
“Xuan Lang, since you’ve come out, why don’t you go to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion for a few drinks?” Chu Xizhi smiled.
Before Xiao Xiyang could reply, a cheerful voice suddenly sounded from the side, “Alright! Alright!”
Xiao Xiwei turned his head to look at Chu Zuizhi, who was full of excitement. Ever since the Emperor came up, she had been hiding in a corner like an invisible person. When she heard that there was wine to drink, she immediately regained her soul.
“Seventh Brother, are you going to the Drunken Immortal Building for a drink?” Chu Muzhi, who was originally leaning on his servant to pretend to be sick and was about to return home, immediately came over.
Xiao Xiyang originally wanted to agree, but he looked at the three sisters behind him and sighed somewhat regretfully, “It’s better next time!”
“Big Brother Xiao, don’t! It’s been a long time since I got out of the palace. I don’t know when Ma Yue will come out next time.” Chu Zuizhi immediately grabbed Xiao Xiyang’s arm and stared at him with his bright eyes.
“That’s right! Xuan Lang, now that we’ve missed lunch in the manor, you should just go back and have the kitchen recook. Why don’t we go to the Drunken Immortal Building for a few drinks together to save you the trouble?” Chu Muzhi also joined in the persuasion.
Xiao Xiyang could only cast his gaze towards Xiao Xiwei.
“Sister-in-law, let’s go to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion together! I heard that the Hundred Flowers Wine in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion is delicious.” Chu Zuizhi said with a yearning expression.
Xiao Xiwei covered his mouth and smiled, “You can go to the Drunken Immortal Building, but you have to promise me one thing first.”
“You say you say.” Chu Zuizhi nodded repeatedly.
“You, you … don’t call me’sister-in-law ‘anymore.” Xiao Xiwei said with a red face.
Hearing this, Chu Xi-yi’s beautiful eyebrows unconsciously twisted.
Chu Zuizhi secretly looked at Chu Xizhi with a side face. Seventh brother, look, you must be anxious!
“Alright.”
You can’t scream now, just scream again in the future.
“Big Brother, Second Sister, I’m a little tired. I want to go back.” Xiao Xile said with an unfriendly expression.
Originally, they wanted to see the Fourth Prince, but in the end, they did. However, they didn’t even say a word. They only saw Xiao Xiwei and the others bragging nonsense here.
“Mm, then you can take the carriage back first.” Xiao Xiyang originally didn’t like her very much, but when he saw that she was leaving, he was even more unwilling, so he immediately replied without thinking. Finally, he looked at Xiao Xichun and said, “Xichun, do you want to go back?”
Xiao Xichun pursed his lips and said, “I, I’d better go with big brother and second sister.”
“Alright then, let’s decide! Xile, you go back by yourself. Xi Wei, Xi Chun and I will come back later.” Xiao Xiyang said.
Xiao Xile coldly swept a glance at Xiao Xichun, and then silently got into the carriage of the Xiao Clan.
“Sister Wei, let’s go. Take my carriage.” Chu Zuizhi happily pulled Xiao Xiwei’s hand and was about to walk towards her carriage.
“You can make so many people in such a small place like your carriage?” Chu Xizhi said coldly.
“Why is my carriage small?” Chu Zuizhi stared at Chu Xizhi unconvincingly. Xizhi Chu smiled and opened the folding fan in his hand. He was so frightened that he shrank his neck and hurriedly pushed Xiwei Xiao out. “Yes, my carriage is small. There are only two people to sit in it. Well … Sister Chun, Sister Chun is still Sister Chun, let’s sit together.” As he spoke, he grabbed Xiao Xichun’s hand and climbed into his carriage without turning back.
Chu Xizhi waved his folding fan and walked towards Xiao Xiwei with a smile. “Drunken carriage can’t sit down, so I can only wronged you and squeeze with me.”
“Dark belly, sinister.” Chu Muzhi gritted his teeth and spat out a few words.
No wonder he and Xiao Xiyang rode their horses to the Martial Guard Camp, but he insisted on riding a carriage like a woman, so he was waiting here.
Xiao Xiwei blushed slightly.
Before Chu Mu could finish his sentence, he suddenly shouted, “Second Miss Xiao, you must be careful! Be careful of someone …” It turned out that the folding fan in Chu Xizhi’s hand violently knocked on his forehead. “I say, it’s already autumn. Why do you use a fan all day long to pretend to be deceitful? Didn’t you hear that there’s another word called deceitful scum!” Without waiting for Chu Xizhi to explode, he hurriedly jumped into his carriage.
Hearing this, Xiao Xi couldn’t help but cover her mouth and smile.
Originally, Chu Xizhi wanted to pull Chu Muzhi back, but he heard Xiao Xi laugh like a silver bell. Seeing that her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows were clear and beautiful, and her entire body was as quiet and moving as a blooming lotus flower, her gaze instantly froze.
“I can’t leave! I’m starving to death!” Chu Muzhi, who had fled to the carriage, lifted the curtain and impatiently interrupted Chu Xizhi’s gaze.
Xiao Xiyang looked at Chu Xizhi’s reluctant gaze and laughed heartily. Then, he got on his horse and said, “Why don’t we go to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion first?” After saying that, he rode his horse and left.
Seeing that everyone had left, Chu Xizhi also stared at him with burning eyes. Xiao Xiwei only felt her cheeks burn slightly. “What are you looking at me for? Aren’t you going to the Drunken Immortal Building to eat?”
“Haven’t you ever heard of a phrase called–delicious.” Chu Xizhi raised his eyebrows and smiled.
“Stop messing around.” Xiao Xiwei couldn’t help but reach out and push him.
Chu Xi smiled. Instead, he grabbed her hand and said, “Alright, stop messing around. Get in the car.” As he spoke, he personally helped Xiao Xiwei into the carriage.
Inside the carriage, there was a small table inlaid with motherfuckers. On the table was a food box that depicted a dragon and a phoenix. Facing the small table was a soft couch.
Xiao Xi got into the carriage and looked around. He found that the only place he could sit on was the soft couch. As he was hesitating, Chu Xizhi sat down on the side of the soft couch. “What, aren’t you going to sit down?” Chu Xizhi only glanced at Xiao Xiwei and knew what she was thinking. He immediately laughed loudly, “Perhaps you don’t like to be on the couch and want me to hug you?”
“It seems that His Highness the eighth prince is right.” Xiao Xiwei sat to the side angrily.
Sure enough, it was dark and sinister.
When Chu Xizhi heard this, his laughter grew louder. “If not, how could he live in the same room as a beauty!”
Xiao Xiwei rolled his eyes at him and turned away.
Chu Xizhi was afraid that she would get angry. He hurriedly sat beside her and opened his fan to gently fan the wind for her. “Alright, madam, I know that I was wrong. I won’t tease you next time, okay?”
Xiao Xiwei pulled off his fan and his face became even hotter. “Who is your wife?”
“You!” Chu Xizhi smiled.
Xiao Xiwei glared at him.
Sure enough, she shouldn’t have told him this, and he would have led her by the nose the moment she said it.
“It’s so cold, what are you doing with a fan? It can’t be like what His Highness the Eighth Prince said, pretending to be gentle!” She opened Chu Xizhi’s fan to take a look and pulled the conversation away.
Chu Xizhi knew that she was shy and deliberately changed the topic, but he still did not dare to say too much. If the beauty was angered and left, then the gains would not be worth the losses. “You should believe what Mu Zhi said. Every bone in this fan has been polished. Furthermore, it contains silver needles. In an emergency, it can be used as a hidden weapon.”
“Is that so?” Xiao Xiwei looked at the seemingly ordinary fan in his hand in surprise.
At this point, Chu Xizhi suddenly took a small brocade box out of his small box and took out a scarlet-gold wrapped silk bracelet from it and fastened it into Xiao Xiwei’s wrist. “This bracelet was specially made by me. As long as you press here, silver needles will fly out of it. You must not take it off!” Chu Xizhi looked at Xiao Xiwei solemnly and said word by word.
“Your Highness, this is …”
“Xiwei, I really want to marry you right now and put you beside me to protect you.” Chu Xizhi suddenly reached out and held Xiao Xiwei in his arms.
When the Crown Prince left today, he could clearly see the killing intent flashing in his eyes towards Xiwei.
“Your Highness” Xiao Xiwei slowly raised her hand and tried to hug Chu Xizhi back.
She could clearly feel the unease in his heart at this moment.
“Wei’er, you should be ready in three months!” Chu Xizhi buried his face in Xiao Xiwei’s neck and said in a hoarse voice.
Xiao Xiwei was stunned. He felt a warm aura spraying out from her neck, and he felt his entire body tremble. In her panic, her gaze suddenly fell on the orchid drawn on the fan. Her mind flashed and she hurriedly said, “Last time, the Ninth Princess told me that there was a painting in His Highness’ room?”
