"Little child, what are you doing here?”It was not until the maidservant half-squatted at his height and looked at him with a sweet smile that Xiao Tong came back to his senses. His face could not help but turn red as he said,"I…I". He stuttered for a long time but did not say a word. Xiao Tong's expression changed and he said to her," Sister, I often hear people say that the Regent King's Residence is like the King of Hell's Palace. I'm an orphan, but I also want to see the world, so I've been wandering here.”Xiao Tong pursed his lips and looked at the servant girl. His eyes were moist.
"Good child, the wangfu never keeps idle people. Are you hungry? I can find you some food.”The maidservant stroked Xiao Tong's head with a smile in her eyes.
The eight people standing at the door did not make a sound, but a thin man ran out from the door.
"Taoyi, Autumn Wind Butler wants you to go.”
"Got it. Did the butler say what it is?”The maidservant turned around and asked.
"Of course it's your business. This little doll? Is he your relative?" That person's eyes revealed a bit of a romantic state. He looked like a rapist. Xiao Tong took a few steps back, but he was wondering in his heart, who was this person from the First Prince's Mansion? The guards were all like gods, and the maidservants were as kind as fairies. Why did this servant act as if someone owed him millions of taels of silver? Well, he still had to take a good look at Sir.
"Don't you know if I have any relatives? Don't be afraid, little child. You can't judge a book by its cover. Wait here for a while. I'll go find you something to eat. Don't come here in the future.”Xiao Tong nodded, and the man followed Tao Yi into the palace.
"Taoyi, when did you become so kind?”The man's mocking voice carried a hint of mockery.
"This child is definitely not ordinary, and he doesn't have the scent of a little beggar. His highness said that one cannot judge a book by its cover. No matter who it is, one must show the most basic etiquette to show the manners of the prince's mansion.”Tao Yi turned around and smiled. To be able to appear here in such a situation and look into the palace from time to time, it must be extraordinary. However, etiquette must not be lost. This was what the king said.
"Yes, yes, yes. What your highness said is naturally right. I will follow him after he leaves to see if there is anything suspicious.”
Xiao Tong stood there and wondered whether it was better to go back or wait for that sister to find him food. His heart felt warm again. The people of this Prince's mansion were really good. They did not mind that he was a little beggar and even brought him food to eat. If it was someone else, they would have chased him away long ago. While he was thinking, the maidservant Tao Yi walked out again. She held a few steamed buns wrapped in cloth in one hand and a roasted chicken in the other. She walked over and handed it to him.
"Thank you, sister." After thanking him, Xiao Tong ran away and disappeared in a few moments.
Xia Zihou returned to the prince's mansion. He was a little tired, so he entered the hot spring bath in the prince's mansion. He waved the crowd away and glanced at the corner of the folding screen. He then took off his clothes and walked into the warm water. Half of his mask was removed and placed to the side. Half of his face was like a fairy's. It was as white as jade. He had a small nose, slightly pursed lips, and a sexy collarbone below his beautiful neck. Xia Zihou suddenly jumped out of the pool. As the water droplets fell off her body, she had already put on her inner clothes. She wore a bright red robe with a large red spider lily embroidered on it. It reflected her jade-like skin, making her look extremely charming.
"This King's patience is limited." The drop of water on Xia Zihou's fingertip seemed to have frozen in place, ready to strike at any moment. It was broad daylight. She really didn't know how he managed to avoid the array she set up. It seemed that he was a troublesome opponent. Other than this, the Third Prince was also dressed in a peerless style. Her white clothes were embroidered with large magnolias, while her purple robe was embroidered with large patches of red spider lilies. Her long hair reached her waist. If it wasn't for that half of his face, this person could be considered a peerless person. A hint of surprise flashed across the Third Prince Su Qing's eyes. Even if both parties were relatives of the royal family, they had never met each other and had only heard rumors.
"It seems that the rumors are not credible.”Xia Zihou looked into his dark jade-like eyes. If it weren't for her, she would have been sucked into those eyes. Her amorous peach blossom eyes were slightly raised, and her thin lips curled into a smile. If any ordinary woman saw them, they would probably lose their souls. Monster. Xia Zihou thought to himself. He was truly a monster.
"Third Prince, why did you come to this bathroom?”Xia Zihou's slightly slender figure was quite impressive. Su Qing looked at him for a while before silently retracting her gaze.
"Nothing, I just came to see my opponent.”Su Qing, the Third Prince, smiled faintly and approached Xia Zihou in an instant. Xia Zihou dodged in an instant due to his keen sense of his opponent. The water droplet in his hand shot out rapidly, aiming at the Third Prince's heart. Su Qing, the Third Prince, dodged to the side, and the water droplet shot into the wood. Su Qing narrowed her eyes and smiled.”
"I wonder why Third Prince came to my bathroom in broad daylight? If I capture you and use you as a hostage…" The water in the air gradually increased, and it was as dense as a needle. No matter which one he was hit by, it would be enough for him to suffer. He didn't expect Xia Zihou to be so powerful after he grew up. If he let go, wouldn't he regret it for the rest of his life? His gaze deepened. The eight-sided screen painted with plum blossoms in the bathroom was stained by the steam from Xia Zihou's fingertips, and the color slowly melted.
"That depends on whether the Regent can catch it.”Su Qing still had a faint smile on her face, and her smile was filled with a demonic aura. Xia Zihou's expression changed, and his hand gestures changed again. The water droplets in the pool slowly floated up and floated around Xia Zihou.
"How is my Third Princess Consort? I will take you as my wife." Su Qing looked at her seriously. The reason why he exposed his strength and requested to come to Xia country was only to meet her. After going around in circles, he still had to marry her. He really didn't care about her appearance. As long as she was the Prince Regent and Xia Zihou, what did her appearance matter?
"This king is the regent and commands the three armies. Do you think this king would care about your little princess position? Third Prince, forgive me for not seeing you off." Su Qing smiled bitterly. Her expression suddenly became very sad. Her entire body was no longer as devilish as before. She only sighed. In the end, she still could not remember. It seemed that Emperor Xia did not take his marriage proposal to heart.
When she was favored by the late Emperor in the Xia Dynasty's palace, he had visited her with his father and the late Emperor. At that time, she was intelligent and lovely. Her face with a slight birthmark had a sunny smile on it. She would often follow the late Emperor of the Xia Dynasty and call him grandfather. The late Emperor would even discuss state affairs with her. However, when he sneaked a look at her that night, he saw the young her standing in front of a boy, holding his hand and saying something. The boy lowered his head with a forbearing expression. Her indifferent eyes raised, and she drank the bowl of soup that was as beautiful as wine. He saw another person in the dark, and that person was Xia Mu. He stood there quietly, looking at her quietly with a vicious smile on his face. Until Xia Mu left, until Xia Zihou fell on the person behind him, until he rushed over, until she told him not to make this matter public. From then on, he told himself that he wanted her.
"What the Regent King wants is probably this world. When the time comes, I will grant you the position of Empress. How about it? I'll certainly ride in phoenix clothes and phoenix chariots, and the iron army will open the way for you to marry.”The person opposite her looked at her with a serious expression. In his eyes, she saw herself, the half mask, and the birthmark on the right side of her face. Xia Zihou suddenly smiled. The water vapor in the bath rose, and her eyes became somewhat dazed and deep.
"Even without you, Su Qing, this king's cavalry can still travel the world.”She knew very well how much strength Su Qing still had.
"Yes, I am. This is not the same. This king can be your strongest backing. Even if you poke the sky down, this king will support you. How was it? I'll give you three months to consider.”Before Xia Zihou could say anything, he had already disappeared into the bathroom. Xia Zihou narrowed his eyes. Hmph, phoenix clothes? Iron army opening marriage path, strong backing? Dream on. She, Xia Zihou, was not under the control of the Third Prince of Zhao. Although Su Mo, the Crown Prince, was more favored by Su Qing than Su Mo on the surface, the truth was unknown. After calling for someone to tidy her clothes, Xia Zihou lay on the recliner and closed his eyes for an afternoon nap. The red plum blossoms outside the window had been soaked in the snow of late winter and were in full bloom, causing the entire courtyard to be filled with the fragrance of plum blossoms. The plum blossoms complemented Xia Zihou's sleeping posture, making him look like a painting. The few plum blossoms on his clothes were as red as blood.
