Suddenly, Xie Mingan walked out on his own initiative.

King Shu's gloomy expression was suddenly startled.

"Xie Shaoqing, why are you here?"

Xie Mingan held up his hands and explained: "I came to the banquet today. I didn't expect my sister to be naughty. I am looking for her everywhere. Have you ever seen my sister? She is about this tall."

He compared his height position.

The King of Shu shook his head: "Princess Funing? I have never seen her before."

Xie Mingan sighed: "Where did this kid go? It's really not a worry."

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

The King of Shu immediately said without changing his expression: "Concubine Qi's ankle is sprained. Can you help her call the palace attendants? Otherwise, it will be inconvenient for me to take care of her here."

"Of course it's no problem." Xie Mingan nodded, pretending not to know anything.

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

Concubine Qi suddenly called to him.

"Is Xie Shaoqing really alone? Why didn't he say anything behind the rockery just now? Why did he suddenly come out and startle me?"

Xie Mingan raised his hands and lowered his cold eyebrows.

"I walked over directly. Perhaps the rockery blocked my figure, so I didn't see you. It's my fault that I alarmed you."

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

She slowly approached the rockery and glanced at Xie Ming'an's expression from the corner of her eye, only to find that he was expressionless.

Concubine Qi went directly behind the rockery.

No one is empty.

It seems that there is really only Xie Mingan himself.

She nodded secretly to King Shu.

A smile suddenly appeared on King Shu's face: "I was just caring about Concubine Qi, so I didn't notice Xie Shaoqing's arrival. It doesn't matter. In this case, I will go with you to find the palace servants."

"Yes." Xie Mingan left with King Shu.

Concubine Qi searched the bamboo forest for a long time, and then she felt relieved after confirming that there was no second person.

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

She patted her heart with her little hand and looked at Kurosawa with her watery eyes.

Fortunately, there is a fairyland to hide in!
The moment she heard the sound, Xie Mingan pushed her to hide.

After all, it seemed like what they heard was something extraordinary.

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

Xie Mingan couldn't let them know that Shen Ningning was there, so he simply stepped forward and took over the matter.

When Shen Ningning returned to the banquet, Xie Mingxu and Xu Jingxi came over.

"Where is my sister? We can find her easily."

Seeing that Xie Ming'an did not follow her, Xie Mingxu frowned: "This second brother, did you leave you alone?"

"No, the second brother is..." Shen Ningning was about to speak when she saw the emperor and the King of Shu entering the palace holding hands and laughing happily outside the Zhennian Palace. Mo Lingwei followed the King of Shu with a calm and friendly smile.

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

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

Where is her second brother?

The ministers and female relatives 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 and had a face similar to that of the emperor, but he had a broader forehead and higher brow bones.

The emperor laughed: "Yes, this is what I have been telling you, to use miracles to save the blessed girl of our Cangyun Kingdom!"

"Ning Ning, just call me King Shu or uncle."

Shen Ningning lowered her head, pretending to be embarrassed: "Then how can we do it? It's against the rules."

His father, Xie Suzhi, also nodded: "Your Majesty is very kind to me, and I would like to thank you. It's just that His Highness, King of Shu, has a noble status, so Ning Ning cannot make any mistakes."

The King of Shu smiled: "What's the matter? I liked Ning Ning as soon as he saw her. By the way, Ning Ning, I just saw your second brother looking for you."

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

Saying this in front of everyone caused everyone to laugh in unison.

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

"The emperor and the prince laughed at each other. Ning Ning and her second brother have never dealt with each other." The King of Shu secretly observed Shen Ningning for a moment, and his laughter became more hearty: "Such a daughter should be pampered by her brothers. Come on, Ning Ning , this is a gift from the prince’s uncle to you.”

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

Shen Ningning couldn't refuse after several attempts, so Shen Ningning had no choice but to accept.

Mo Lingwei stood aside and kept looking at the little girl with a smile.

He was also very happy to see her being loved by his family.

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

During the banquet, Shen Ningning ate a little absentmindedly.

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

She didn't even eat much of her favorite chicken drumsticks with sauce.

But Shen Ningning murmured, "Brother, why hasn't the second brother come back yet?"

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

Everyone drank and exchanged glasses with each other.

Indeed, Xie Mingan was not seen.

Shen Ningning even began to be afraid, wouldn't the King of Shu silence his second brother?

Just when Xie Mingxu stood up and was about to go out to look for it.

Xie Mingan is 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 burst into 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 child, 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.

The two brothers Xie Suzhi and Xie Di are handsome and noble. They are both middle-aged, 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. He 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 pines and bamboos, 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 left her behind.

He held her hand: "My eldest aunt said she wanted to meet you."
