Chapter 427 Why Hasn't My Second Brother Come Back Yet?

Suddenly, Xie Mingan took the initiative to come out.

The gloomy face of the King of Shu was stunned.

"Xie Shaoqing, why are you here?"

Xie Mingan bowed his hands and explained: "I came to the banquet today, but I didn't expect my sister to be naughty. I was looking for her everywhere. May I ask if the prince has seen my sister? She is about this tall."

He compared the height.

The King of Shu shook his head: "Princess Funing? I haven't seen her yet."

Xie Mingan sighed: "Where did this child go? It's really worrying."

As he said, he raised his head and looked over there. Concubine Qi was facing away from him.

The King of Shu immediately said calmly: "Concubine Qi has twisted her ankle. Can you help her call the palace people? Otherwise, it's not convenient for me to take care of her here."

"Of course, no problem." Xie Mingan nodded, pretending to know nothing.

He did not turn around, but followed the direction from which the King of Shu came, ready to leave.

Concubine Qi suddenly called him.

"Is Xie Shaoqing really alone? Why didn't you make a sound behind the rockery just now? He suddenly came out and scared me."

Xie Ming'an bowed his hands and lowered his cold eyebrows.

"I just walked over here. Maybe the rockery blocked my figure, so the queen didn't see it. I was wrong to alarm the queen."

After he finished speaking, Qi Fei's eyes flashed with a calm smile.

She slowly approached the rockery, and glanced at Xie Ming'an's expression, but found that he had no expression.

Qi Fei went directly behind the rockery.

No one.

It seems that Xie Ming'an was really the only one.

She nodded secretly to the King of Shu.

The King of Shu suddenly showed a smile on his face: "I was just concerned about the Queen of Qi, so I didn't notice that Xie Shaoqing came. It doesn't matter. In this case, I will go with you to find the palace people."

"Yes." Xie Ming'an left with the King of Shu.

Qi Fei searched in the bamboo forest for a long time, and she was relieved to confirm that there was no second person.

After the palace servants came to take Concubine Qi away, Shen Ningning appeared out of thin air from behind the rockery.

She patted her chest with her small hands, and her watery eyes swayed in Hei Ze.

Fortunately, there is a fairyland to hide!

The moment the voice was heard, Xie Mingan pushed her to hide.

After all, they seemed to have heard something extraordinary.

One was the emperor's brother, and the other was the emperor's concubine.

Xie Mingan couldn't let them know that Shen Ningning was also there, so he simply stood up and took 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."

Xie Mingxu saw that Xie Mingan didn't follow her, and frowned: "This second brother, left you alone?"

"No, the second brother is..." Shen Ningning was about to speak, but saw outside the Zhennian Palace, the emperor and the King of Shu joined hands and laughed into the palace, and Mo Lingwei followed the King of Shu, smiling indifferently and kindly.

That was the uncle he said was the best to him.

She pursed her lips and stared at them with her dark eyes.

Where is her second brother?

All the ministers and women 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, with a face similar to the emperor, but he had a wider forehead and a higher brow bone.

The emperor laughed: "Yes, this is what I have been telling you, the blessed girl who saved our Cangyun country with miracles!"

"Ningning, you can call the King of Shu as uncle."

Shen Ningning lowered her head and pretended to be embarrassed: "How can that be done? It is against the rules."

Her father Xie Suzhi also nodded: "Your Majesty is kind, and I thank you. But His Highness the King of Shu is of noble status, so Ningning cannot act rashly."

The King of Shu laughed: "What's the matter? I like Ningning as soon as I see her. By the way, Ningning, I just saw your second brother looking for you."

Shen Ningning raised her watery eyes and blinked her big eyes curiously: "Stinky second brother? Humph, I deliberately got rid of him, otherwise, he would always nag me."

Say this in front of everyone, which attracted everyone's laughter.

Xie Suzhi shook his head helplessly and looked at his daughter with doting eyes.

"Your Majesty and the Prince, please forgive me. Ningning and her second brother have never gotten along."

The King of Shu secretly observed Shen Ningning for a moment, and laughed even more heartily: "With only one daughter, the brothers should spoil her well. Come, Ningning, this is a gift from the Prince Uncle."

He took off a string of red sandalwood beads from his wrist and handed it to Shen Ningning.

She refused several times but failed, so Shen Ningning had to accept it.

Mo Lingwei kept looking at the little girl with a smile on his face.

He was also very happy to see that she was loved by her family.

However, for some reason, Mo Lingwei always felt that the smile in Shen Ningning's eyes was a little forced.

Shen Ningning ate a little absent-mindedly during the banquet.

Brother Xie Mingxu noticed it keenly: "What's wrong, no appetite?"

She didn't even eat much of her favorite sauced chicken legs.

But Shen Ningning muttered: "Brother, why hasn't my second brother come back yet?"

After she said this, Xie Mingxu and Xu Jingxi looked around together.

Everyone was toasting and drinking.

Xie Mingan was indeed nowhere to be seen.

Shen Ningning even began to get scared. Would the King of Shu kill his second brother?

Just as Xie Mingxu stood up and prepared to go out to look for him,

Xie Mingan came back.

The emperor took the initiative to show concern: "Xie Shaoqing, why did you come just now?"

Xie Mingan looked helpless: "Back to the emperor, I made my sister unhappy. She ran too fast, and I couldn't keep up. I looked around, but I didn't expect that she was already sitting here enjoying the delicious food."

The crowd roared with 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 an elder brother, you should make your sister less angry."

"That's what the prince said." Xie Mingan handed over his hand and sat down at the Xie family's banquet.

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: "Brother Stinky, how do you know what excuse I used to deal with the King of Shu?"

Xie Mingan chuckled, his stern brows 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.

"Are you unable to eat without my second brother? Can't you trust me? Come on, I'm back. Nothing's wrong. They won't suspect you."

Shen Ningning made a face at him angrily: "Who is worried about you, you stinky second brother!"

She is already a ten-year-old girl, and her father 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.

Brothers Xie Suzhi and Xie Di are handsome and noble-looking. They have been middle-aged for two years, 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 pine and bamboo tree, 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."
