Ch. 108 - Extra Chapter - If the rebellion succeeds

After the Cuju game, Xiao Nong and the little prince became much closer.

The little prince was full of curiosity about Xiao Nong. He would sneak out of the East Palace every few days and run to Prince Ding's Mansion to talk to Xiao Nong. Xiao Nong's words were very interesting.

Having stayed outside the Great Wall for a long time, he was knowledgeable and experienced. The little prince liked to listen to him very much.

And he had a pair of beautiful blue eyes, more beautiful than the finest sapphires in his palace.

After more contact, the young boy would complain to Xiao Nong that the teacher, Mr. Zhou, was too strict and that archery on horseback was too difficult. He couldn't shoot accurately on horseback, but he had to practise for the autumn hunt. Xiao Nong raised his eyebrows and said, "I know this. I'll teach you."

When it comes to riding and archery skills, Xiao Nong is definitely one of the best.

Not being so foolish as to think that the cousin Xiao Wenlan described as cold and arrogant could actually be so kindhearted, the little prince looked at him eagerly: "Is it really possible?"

Xiao Nong pulled him towards the training ground of Prince Ding's mansion: "Of course you can.”

To teach horse riding and archery, they naturally had to ride on the same horse together. The little prince got on the horse first, and then his back sank. Xiao Nong sat behind him, holding a horse with one hand and supporting his forearm with the other, and said in a low voice: "The movement is not quite standard, raise your arm a little higher.

The little prince obediently raised his arm, aimed at the target with full concentration, and shot the arrow, but it missed. The head in my arms suddenly drooped down in dejection.

It was like this. If it was in the military camp, Xiao Nong would have scolded him so much that he dared not even stretch his neck out. But now Xiao Nong was holding the little beauty in his arms. He was very patient and in a good mood. He rubbed his head and encouraged him softly: "Hasn't it been hit? It's already very powerful. Take your time."

The little prince listened to his encouragement and regained some confidence. It was just that Xiao Nong's voice was so beautiful and so close to his ears that he felt half of his body go limp and the tips of his ears felt numb and hot. When he pouted his lips together to nod the arrow and pull the string again, he felt a little dizzy.

Prince Ding...what a gentle and kind person!

As it was getting dark, Xiao Nong personally escorted the little prince back to the palace.

The little prince was full of confidence. He felt that he was becoming more and more skilled in sneaking out of the palace and would not be discovered by his father, the emperor, and his mother again.

He was totally unaware of the secret guards following him.

Since his youngest son had been sneaking out of the palace quite frequently recently, Pei Xi couldn't help but be more concerned. He called the Ruiwei who was secretly protecting the little prince overnight, and after listening to the report, he had a face-to-face meeting with his wife.

"Prince Ding..." Queen Yin Yifan said in a strange tone, "Tiao Tiao has been with him recently?7"

Pei Xi stood in front of the desk, practicing calligraphy calmly, but each stroke carried a hint of murderous intent.

The Queen thought for a moment and showed a somewhat amusing expression: "I heard that the child was very stubborn. When he was young, he didn't like his engagement with Tiao Tiao and refused to return to Beijing. What is he doing now?"

Pei Xi's expression showed no joy or anger, but the force of his brushstrokes increased by three times.

"What are you going to do next?"

The Queen looked at the Emperor's slightly unhappy expression and said with a smile: "We made the engagement together. I saw that Prince Ding didn't like it, so I thought I would resolve it when they grow up and bring it up. But now... he doesn't look like he doesn't like him."

Pei Xi said: "Our Tiao'er is so well behaved, who wouldn't like him?"

"But the problem is," Yin Yifan tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said slowly, "our Tiao'er seems to like him quite a lot."

Pei Xi lost control of his pen and made a heavy stroke.

"Your Majesty, are you going to stop them from meeting?"

Yin Yifan looked towards the East Palace, "But Tiao'er has been very happy recently."

Although he was always surrounded by many friends, the little prince had never been so happy.

Chirping like an excited little bird, whenever he came to see his father and mother, he could not help but mention someone intentionally or unintentionally, with his eyes shining. Pei Xi was silent for a long time before he whispered: "Yi Fan, I don't want Tiao Tiao to be like you and I were in the past."

When Pei Xi was still the crown prince, the late emperor was dissatisfied with the choice of the crown princess. After everything they experienced... Pei Xi no longer wanted to have children.

Why should they let their children, who were raised in the palm of their hands, suffer the same hardships they have gone through?

Yin Yifan figured it out faster than Pei Xi. He gently stroked Pei Xi's back and said with a faint smile: "Before Tiao'er was born, we only hoped that the child would live a long and worry-free life. As long as he is safe and happy, and has not done anything against the will of heaven, why should we make things difficult for him?"

The emperor and empress were both kind hearted, and after a serious discussion, they simply turned a blind eye to the two people who stuck together every day. In order to prevent the children from running outside every day, Pei Xi gritted his teeth and issued an order to let Xiao Nong enter the palace to teach the prince riding and archery.

When Xiao Nong received the imperial edict, he knew that His Majesty was going to let him go, and he was in a good mood. Before daybreak, he could not wait to get up and prepare to go to the East Palace. Knowing his father's temper, Xiao Nong deliberately went around the front yard. He was not so stupid as to think he was smart. After going around in a circle, he still ran into Prince Ding who was practising shooting in the early morning.

His father didn't even raise his eyelids: "Hey, where are you going so early in the morning?"

Prince Ding said sarcastically: "Who would not return to the capital until the engagement is cancelled?"

Xiao Nong pondered for a moment, walked to the weapon rack, kicked the wooden spear on the ground with his foot, and held it tightly in his palm: "Dad, let's fight.”

After having a fight with his biological father, Xiao Nong was deliberately stabbed in several places by his father with a wooden spear. He gasped in pain, but still gritted his teeth and went to the palace.

When he arrived, the young prince was standing by the door measuring his height. He straightened his back and chased after the eunuch who was measuring him, asking: "Have I grown a little taller?"

The young eunuch was embarrassed: "Your Highness, I just measured it yesterday."

You are not the bamboo shoots in the field, how can you grow so fast?

Xiao Nong folded his hands and laughed out loud.

He felt that the little prince was like a bamboo shoot, wrapped in layers upon layers, with a crisp, tender and sweet core...

... makes you want to take a bite.

Hearing Xiao Nong's voice, the little prince turned his head and was surprised: 'Xiao Nong? Why are you here?"

Xiao Nong suppressed the evil desire in his heart and smiled naturally: "I was ordered to teach Your Highness how to ride and shoot.”

The little prince had a lot to say to Xiao Nong, and he ran towards him barefoot and chattering.

Seeing him running around without shoes, the eunuch behind him cried out in pain and chased after him, holding his shoes.

Afraid that he might step on something and cut his foot, Xiao Nong quickly stepped forward, stretched out his hand, easily picked him up, and walked into the room covered with a thick blanket.

The little prince felt a little embarrassed to be held like this, and was not very happy. He struggled and said to him: "Put me down!"

His strength was not great, but he happened to kick Xiao Nong where he was injured.

Xiao Nong's eyebrows moved and he hissed softly. The little prince immediately became quiet like a cat with its neck pinched. He asked nervously: "Did I hurt you?"

Xiao Nong didn't say anything. He carefully carried him into the house and put him down carefully, fearing that he might be bumped or broken.

Being treated so lovingly by him, the young boy felt even more embarrassed. He lowered his head and rubbed the gland cover where Xiao Nong was kicked: "Does it hurt? Let me rub it for you."

Xiao Nong didn't know for a moment whether his knees had become softer from being rubbed so hard or his heart had become softer.

No one knows a son better than his father. Looking at Xiao Nong's recent reaction, how could Prince Ding not see it? He specially picked a day to teach him a lesson and let him think it over clearly.

Xiao Nong was quite aware of the foolishness. If the young boy had not suddenly appeared in the stuffy carriage that day and appeared when he proposed to cancel the engagement, their engagement might have really been interrupted by him. God gave him a good opportunity, how could he not seize it.

Thinking back to the time when his mother came back from the capital to Mobei, she talked about how adorable the little prince was, making people want to steal him away. Xiao Nong gritted his teeth, feeling more regretful.

It's a big loss if you haven't seen Tiao Tiao when he was a child. Fortunately, it's not too late now.

Before the autumn hunt, King Jing was crowned and asked to leave the capital. Apart from the hardships he had suffered in his childhood, after ascending the throne, he was very gentle and caring towards King Jing and his son. The fiefdom allocated to King Jing was also a rich land. He was also allowed to take his mother away to raise her, and was extremely tolerant.

Although Pei Hong was reluctant to leave the capital, he did not feel any regrets. Before leaving, he called his friends in the capital and invited them to a lively farewell banquet.

He also clinked glasses with Zhong Sidu, with whom he had always been at odds. "Your Highness," Pei Hong was only worried about the kind-hearted little prince, so he lowered his voice and said, "You should be careful about the prince Ding. I can tell from the first glance that he has evil intentions."

The young prince accused him sternly: "Your Highness Prince Jing, please don't speak ill of others behind their backs. Brother Xian Wei is a very good person."

Pei Hong felt a pain in his teeth and fanned himself frantically.

It's been less than a month and he has even been coaxed into calling him brother.

If he remembered correctly, the Xiao family was a generation older than him. I have to call Xiao Nong ‘uncle’, so when it comes to the little prince's generation, he should call him grandpa...

After being lost in thought for a while, he turned around and found that the person he was muttering about actually appeared at the banquet.

Recently, Xiao Nong has been inseparable from the little prince. It turns out that he was ordered to teach the prince riding and archery, and the reason was quite legitimate. Pei Hong was unhappy with Xiao Nong, so he did not invite him to the farewell banquet, and also asked the little prince to leave Xiao Nong and come quietly so as not to be discovered by him.

But who knew that this man was like a dog, and followed the little prince just by smelling his scent.

Xiao Nong walked straight to the little prince who was looking at the wine glass with his nose wrinkled, snatched the wine in his hand, raised it towards Pei Hong, and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

So he wanted to take the confused little prince away.

Pei Hong was stunned for a moment, then immediately stopped him and raised his glass to him: "Prince, if you want to take our little prince away, one glass of wine is not enough."

Others also felt a little uncomfortable with Xiao Nong, who was engaged to the prince, so they all followed and shouted: "That's right, today is the farewell banquet for His Royal Highness Prince Jing."

Even Xiao Wenlan started to make fun of him: "Brother, I've never seen you drunk before!"

Xiao Nong raised his eyebrows, seeing that they were deliberately embarrassing him, he lifted his robe and sat down leisurely: "Okay, you can get me drunk any way you want."

The little prince was sitting on the side and tried to stop them: "You are not allowed to bully him..."

"It's okay." Xiao Nong turned his head to look at him, and said in a soft voice, "Just let them play until they are convinced."

The young prince looked at them stupidly as they brought up a pile of wine jars, not understanding where they got such a strong desire to win.

Xiao Nong grew up in Mobei, where the liquor is extremely strong, so his alcohol tolerance is greater than that of ordinary people. He doesn't drink much, but he has never been drunk.

There were about ten people at the banquet, and they took turns to pour wine for Xiao Nong.

Xiao Nong remained calm and drank down the cups one by one.

After the Cuju match that day, everyone had already begun to respect Xiao Nong to some extent. Now that they were all drunk, they couldn't help but feel that Xiao Xianwei was truly a terrifying person, as he could drink and beat up barbarians.

After knocking down seven or eight people in succession, Xiao Nong also became a little drunk.

The little prince nervously grabbed his arm and asked him in a low voice: "Is it serious? Or do you want to stop drinking?"

Xiao Nong was in a good mood. He rubbed his head and raised his glass to Zhong Sidu. Zhong Sidu didn't drink much and he hadn't drunk before, but now he had to drink. He looked at the glass with a green face, frowned and took a sip.

Then fell down on the ground.

Pei Hong was still sober. Seeing that Zhong Sidu couldn't drink, he sighed loudly: "What a useless guy."

Xiao Nong knocked down another man, and slowly raised his glass to Pei Hong: "The journey is long, goodbye."

Pei Hong was drunk and was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, he felt that Xiao Jiewei was not a bad person. If Xiao Nong had been in the capital before, maybe they would have been friends. Thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Okay, then you can take our little prince away.”

When the young prince helped Xiao Nong down the restaurant, he found that he was staggering and sighed: "You guys…”

When he got into the carriage downstairs, the little prince discovered that Xiao Nong was different from Xiao Wenlan who liked to howl like a ghost when drunk. He was unusually quiet and very clingy.

The tall young man held him in his arms, his chin resting on his shoulder, his blue eyes half- closed, like a smart and lazy big cat.

The little prince stared at his eyes and couldn't help but move closer and praised him again: "Your eyes are so beautiful."

"Do you like it?" Xiao Nong lazily rubbed his shoulder window, "I'll dig it out and give it to you." The little prince snorted and patted his head furiously: "You talk so horribly." Xiao Nong laughed softly, thinking he was extremely cute.

The child doesn't know that the thoughts in his mind are even more terrifying.

After coming down from the noisy banquet, the little prince finally had some peace and quiet. He rubbed the tips of his ears and did not rush to let the carriage go. Instead, he asked someone to find some sobering medicine and stuffed it into Xiao Nong's mouth.

Xiao Nong stared at his face, opened his mouth and ate it. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he bit the little prince's slender finger between his teeth. He held it between his teeth and rubbed it, making his face red. Then he let go of him with a smile.

The little prince looked a little angry, but he still didn't push away the drunken man who was clinging to him and playing with him.

Perhaps because he thought Xiao Nong was drunk and not in a clear mind, the little prince shook his head and said with a sullen face: "In fact, I have heard that you don't like our engagement, so you haven't returned to Beijing. You were tied to the horse that day, and you must have been forcibly brought back." Xiao Nong rubbed his shoulder lazily, and paused when he heard this.

The little prince does things slowly, but he knows everything in his mind and is actually very smart.

In his heart, Xiao Nong remained silent for a while, waiting for his next words. "You are very good. You took me to play Cuju and taught me horseback archery. Xiao Ershao said that you have a bad temper, but you have always been very patient with me."

The little prince turned his head away and didn't look into Xiao Nong's eyes: "It is...very pretty."

Apart from his father, the emperor and his mother, he had never seen anyone more handsome than Xiao Nong.

A warm current surged through Xiao Nong's heart, and as he listened to the young man's words, a hint of anticipation arose in his heart. You are so excited about him, do you like him too?

"I think you're a very good person."

The little prince lowered his head, speaking innocently but seriously: "So you don't have to feel embarrassed. In two days, I will help you ask my father to cancel our engagement."

Xiao Nong's smile froze. Hearing that the young man was about to speak again, the alcohol in his head suddenly rushed up, and he turned his head without hesitation and blocked the little prince's mouth.

After a while, Xiao Nong realized what the soft thing under his mouth was, and his brain, which was temporarily controlled by alcohol, came to his senses. However, after waking up, he was even more reluctant to let go. He pinched the boy's jaw, forcing his lips to grow bigger and kissed him deeper.

The alcohol follows the fit.

However, after waking up, the little prince's mind was fuzzy, and he wondered if he was drunk. He foolishly followed Xiao Nong's movements and opened his mouth, letting him touch his lips and tongue wantonly for a while.

Then he reacted and pushed him.

His strength was not strong, but Xiao Nong still let him go as he moved. He rubbed his nose against his, breathing in the fragrance from his body, and said in a hoarse voice with a smile: "Tiao Tiao, do you think I want to cancel the engagement?"

The boy was like a frightened little animal, staring at him with his round eyes, his wet red lips opened, then he immediately covered them with his hand.

"Before I met you, I was really against this marriage."

Xiao Nong was drunk, but his mind was clear. He knew what he was doing and what he was saying. He stared at him and said, "But after meeting you, I am grateful for this engagement every day."

"Tiaotiao, how can you be so cute and beautiful?"

The little prince had never been treated so boldly and passionately by anyone. Feeling the strong color in his eyes, he felt flustered and his face turned red. He pressed his lips tightly together and said nothing.

"When you grow up a little bit, I will marry you, okay?"

Xiao Nong took advantage of his drunkenness and said, "Or you can marry me. Anything is fine."

The little prince stared at him for a long time, but in the end he didn't give a definite answer. He turned his head away angrily, his thin earlobes red as blood: "You wish."

Xiao Nong smiled, hugged his thin body, leaned on his shoulder, took a breath of the orchid scent, and squinted his eyes in enjoyment.

Is that a good idea?

But judging from the fact that the young prince did not reject his approach, and allowed him to stay overnight in the East Palace, and after being kissed by him, he did not call the secret guards to stab him to death...

Why does he think that his chances are still great?

After many twists and turns, it was all thanks to the medicine his mother gave him before he returned to Beijing.
