Reborn: I Found The Wrong Brother

Unfortunately, His Majesty is not someone Xiao Nong can see immediately if he wants to.

Xiao Nong was reluctantly pressed down.

Prince Ding looked at his stubborn and restless son with suspicion.

So honest? Not running away?

Xiao Nong really didn't want to run away.

He followed Prince Ding into the mansion with a careless gait, thinking about the boy who suddenly appeared in front of him just now.

Seeing the flowers in full bloom in the yard, he remembered the thin red lips like petals when the boy came over, and his beautiful face. He bent down to pinch a flower, took a look, and commented: "Vulgar."

Not as pretty as others.

Smelling the fragrant flowers, he remembered the hazy fragrance that filled the carriage like mist, and continued to comment: "Vulgar."

Not as good as others.

Wang Bo broke the flower shovel in the small garden.

After dinner in the evening, Xiao Nong met his cousin Xiao Wenlan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Xiao Wenlan's mother died early, so his family inevitably spoiled him and didn't treat him strictly.

Although he was a little lazy and timid, and liked to eat, drink and have fun, he had not learned the extravagant habits of those dandy boys in Beijing.

In the past few years, the border was tight, and the second uncle spent half of the year outside the border. In recent years, the situation has stabilized, so he often returned to Beijing to accompany Xiao Wenlan. Xiao Wenlan could occasionally go to Mobei to see his relatives, and the relationship between the two brothers was quite familiar.

Xiao Wenlan always admired his cousin. When he heard that Xiao Nong had returned to Beijing, he ran over happily: "Brother! I didn't expect you to return to Beijing. I thought you would never come back again!"

To be precise, he was drugged by his mother and tied back by his father.

Xiao Nong smiled with his face but not his heart.

Xiao Wenlan didn't notice that Xiao Nong's face was wrong at all, and he kept talking: "Oh, brother, you haven't been back to Beijing for many years. Are you not familiar with everything? I haven't been busy with military affairs these days. I'll take you around the capital..." Just as he was about to make a sarcastic remark to Xiao Wenlan, he suddenly remembered the young man in the carriage, and his heart moved.

Xiao Wenlan grew up in the capital and likes to make friends, so maybe he knows him.

After thinking about it, Xiao Nong interrupted Xiao Wenlan's nonsense: "I want to ask you something."

Xiao Wenlan stopped talking curiously.

His brother actually has something to ask him?

After waiting for a while, he finally waited for Xiao Nong to ask solemnly: "Have you ever seen a good-looking boy in the capital?"

Xiao Wenlan's eyes were sincere: "Brother, do you think I look good?"

Xiao Nong didn't even raise his eyelids and slapped him on the head.

Xiao Wenlan covered his head and ran away: "Just because he looks good, how can I know who he is!"

Xiao Nong emphasised: "Very good-looking."

After a pause, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and added: "It smells good, and it speaks...very nice."

It was like a beautiful little bird that suddenly hit his chest, not aggressive.

It came close to him warmly, unconsciously getting close, and its long black eyelashes almost swept across Xiao Nong's eyes. When the thick eyelashes were raised, it was a pair of affectionate and clear eyes.

Xiao Wenlan thought foolishly for a long time, hesitating: "There are only a few conditions. If I have to say it, I think of someone."

Xiao Nong just asked casually, and didn't expect much from Xiao Wenlan. The petals in his hand were crushed. Hearing Xiao Wenlan's words, he looked over suddenly: "Who?"

Xiao Wenlan stammered: "It's not easy to say..."

Xiao Nong: "Say it."

Xiao Wenlan was very embarrassed: "If I say it, brother, you won't tell me to go out, right?"@@novelbin@@

Xiao Nong folded his hands and looked at him coldly, his patience was almost exhausted.

Xiao Wenlan closed his eyes: "Your Highness the Little Prince."

Anyone who was a little closer knew that Xiao Nong hated the engagement that was set on him, and he was very disgusted when others mentioned the little prince who had an engagement with him, especially not to say it to his face.

He had been stubborn and refused to return to Beijing for more than ten years, because of that engagement.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Wenlan finished speaking with courage, he heard a cold voice: "Get out."

Xiao Wenlan hurriedly got out. When Xiao Nong mentioned the engagement and thought of the little prince whom he had never met, he became unhappy again and gritted his teeth.

He had to solve this problem as soon as possible.

Otherwise... when he saw that person again, he would be in a rut with the engagement.

The next morning, Prince Ding took Xiao Nong to the palace to meet the emperor. His Majesty is a rare benevolent monarch. When he was still the prince, he was already famous for his elegance and beauty. He was well-liked by the court officials and the people. He was lenient but not weak. After he ascended the throne, the tense and oppressive atmosphere in the court was relaxed a lot.

The emperor had been on good terms with Xiao Nong's father before, and the queen had a good relationship with Princess Ding. Therefore, he was quite tolerant and preferential to the Xiao family, which was different from the double-faced attitude of the previous emperor.

When entering the Yangxin Palace, Prince Ding warned his son: "Don't talk nonsense in front of His Majesty later."

Xiao Nong responded perfunctorily, and he was already prepared for how to talk nonsense.

Stepping into the warm room, Xiao Nong saw the emperor for the first time.

Although he was close to forty, the emperor still looked young, calm and reserved. When he saw Prince Ding and Xiao Nong, he smiled slightly and said, "You're here? No need to be polite."

Xiao Nong felt that the emperor looked familiar and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Pei Xi didn't care and looked at Xiao Nong.

In his early twenties, he was at the age of being frivolous and arrogant. His eyebrows and eyes were full of uncontrollable arrogance, and his edge was hidden.

Some people would find this edge dazzling and want to suppress it, but on the contrary, Pei Xi liked young people with sharp eyebrows and eyes. There was a trace of appreciation in his eyes, and he smiled and said: "I heard that you only led 5,000 light cavalry to defeat the 50,000 iron cavalry of the barbarians, and personally cut off the head of the barbarian leader?"

Xiao Nong had met the late emperor several times when he was a child. The late emperor was also gentle in front of others, but under those smiling eyes, there was a coldness.

When he was stared at by him, Xiao Nong felt uncomfortable all over.

His Majesty is different now. Xiao Nong did not dislike it, so he restrained his usual energy of asking for a fight and answered in a humble and neither humble nor arrogant way: "Your Majesty, it is true."

Pei Xi clapped his hands and smiled and said: "I wanted to see you a long time ago. Now that I see you, it is as rumoured. Sit down quickly and serve tea."

Xiao Nong thought about what he was going to say, so did not sit down immediately.

Seeing Xiao Nong like this, Prince Ding's eyelids twitched.

What does this brat want to do?

Pei Xi was quick-witted. Seeing Xiao Nong not sitting down, he immediately understood: "Prince, do you have something to tell me? This time you have made great contributions, and the border will be stable for at least five years. If you have any requests, just tell me, I will consider them carefully."

Xiao Nong had already thought of the words, and slowly said: "Your Majesty, I was busy with military affairs in the past and had no time to take care of myself. Now that the border is stable, I realised that I have reached the age of marriage, and it is inevitable that I am anxious about my lifelong event."

When Xiao Nong's lifelong event is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is naturally the engagement between Xiao Nong and the little prince.

There have been precedents of emperors marrying male queens and male concubines in previous dynasties, so this is not something shocking. However, Xiao Nong knew clearly that His Majesty only had one precious son, so how could he bear to let the prince marry him.

This engagement will be cancelled sooner or later, and he is particularly anxious to cancel it now, so he might as well cut the Gordian knot and make things clear.

Sure enough, when Xiao Nong talked about this, Pei Xi's gentle smile faded a little, and he looked at Xiao Nong with his hands behind his back.

Although His Majesty is kind, he has been in office for many years and has a kind of majestic aura. Looking at people like this still makes people feel a little scalp-tingling.

Xiao Nong withstood the pressure and remained calm: "The engagement between me and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has lasted for many years. Now that the little prince is almost sixteen years old, I think it's time to..." cancel the engagement.

Before the last three words were uttered, brisk footsteps were heard at the door of the warm room, accompanied by a clear and soft voice: "Father, my mother asked me to ask you... Is there a guest? Uncle Xiao is here!"

King Ding bowed slightly towards the door, and a rare smile appeared on his usually tense face: "I haven't seen your little prince for a while. You seem to have grown a lot taller."

"Really?"

The person who stepped into the room seemed very happy: "I measure my height every day! "

The warm and soft breath that lingered in his dreams last night slowly brushed over his nose.

For an instant, Xiao Nong's heartbeat stopped. If he had not had extremely strong self-control, he would have turned around and almost lost control of his expression.

The voice, the smell.

It was exactly the same as yesterday in the carriage.

The curious voice was getting closer: "Who is this?"

Prince Ding laughed: "It's my son."

The voice disappeared immediately, as if it was looking at him secretly.

Seeing that his voice suddenly stopped, Pei Xi reminded him: "The prince hasn't finished speaking just now, what should we do?"

Xiao Nong gritted his teeth and said firmly: "It's time to do it. "

Prince Ding had already guessed what Xiao Nong was going to do, and was thinking of cancelling the contract while taking the opportunity to seek credit. The teacup was about to be handed to his lips, but he almost knocked it over when he heard these words.

What?

His mother gave him too much medicine?

Everyone knew that Xiao Nong hated this engagement. Obviously, His Majesty the Emperor did not expect Xiao Nong to say this, and the warm room instantly fell into silence. There was only a rustling sound approaching from behind, which was the friction of sleeves, accompanied by the jingling of rings colliding when walking. In Xiao Nong's peripheral vision, cloud-like sleeves gradually appeared, and then his sight flickered, and the porcelain-white skin of the boy fell into his eyes.

His eyebrows and eyes were black, his lips were red, his teeth were white, and he had an immortality lock hanging around his neck, which was beautiful and spirited.

The heart that had been stagnant suddenly started beating wildly again.

The pair of eyes that had been secretly looking at him widened slightly: "Ah! ”

He recognized him.

Xiao Nong curled his lips and turned sideways: "Hello, little prince."

The little prince looked at him with wide eyes, then looked at Prince Ding, with a strange look in his eyes.

Pei Xi was silent for a while, and saw the reactions of these two people, wondering: "Oh? What's your reaction, have you seen him?"

The little prince and Xiao Nong spoke at the same time: "No, I haven't seen him."

"Yes."

The little prince choked and glared at him secretly.

Xiao Nong suddenly realised that the little prince had a different identity. He probably sneaked out of the palace to play yesterday and didn't want the emperor to know.

Pei Xi said "um" softly, his tone rising.

The little prince and Xiao Nong spoke again at the same time: "Yes, I haven't seen you."

"No, I haven't seen you. "

The little prince's hair is soft and thick, and his head is furry. Everyone who sees him wants to touch it. Pei Xi raised his hand and rubbed his little son's head.

Pei Xi: "Did you sneak out to play?"

The little prince hesitated and glared at him secretly with displeasure.

Xiao Nong felt as if something soft hit his chest and it was very itchy.

How come even glaring at people is like acting like a spoiled child.

The little prince ran away yesterday and didn't want to be taught a lesson, so he tried to change the subject: "Father, what were you talking about just now? What are you going to do?"

As soon as these words came out, the emperor's attention was diverted.

Pei Xi frowned, feeling a little tricky. Xiao Nong didn't come to cancel the engagement, but urged to fulfil it.

Cancelling the engagement is simple, but fulfilling the engagement is...

Looking at his beautiful little son, Pei Xi was silent for a while, not willing to let him go. He looked at Prince Ding with a puzzled and inquiring look in his eyes.

Prince Ding was even more confused than His Majesty himself, and shook his head in confusion.

The two elders looked at each other, Xiao Nong also looked at the confused little prince, and couldn't help but lower his voice: "We were talking about our engagement just now."

The little prince was stunned for a moment, and the tip of his ear almost immediately turned red, and then slowly spread to his cheeks.

Xiao Nong unconsciously moved closer to him, with a smile in his voice: "Do you know who I am now?"

The little prince pursed his lips and didn't answer.

After a while, His Majesty the Emperor spoke: "Tiao Tiao is still young now, and the engagement can be discussed in the long run."

It turned out that the nickname was Tiao Tiao.

Xiao Nong recited it several times in his mind, and it was catchy and more and more cute.

The little prince was thin-skinned and obviously didn't want to stay in the warm room anymore. He said obediently: "Father, I'm going to the Cuju field first. I also made an appointment with a few friends to play Cuju today."

Xiao Nong turned his head immediately, his eyes burning: "Little prince, are you still short of people? I also want to play too."

Xiao Nong said so, and the little prince was embarrassed to refuse him. He hesitated and nodded gently.

Prince Ding: "..." This is really eye-opening. This is the first time in my life that I've seen my son rushing forward like this.

Didn't he refuse to return to the capital?
