The imperial concubine is nine and a half years old, and she is willing to overturn the table and re

Jingsi Hall.

Xie Yuantang raised his teacup: "Come on! Let's celebrate being in solitary confinement together! Cheers!"

Situ Feng clinked his cup with hers and said with a smile, "We didn't put you in solitary confinement. You're the only one who was put in solitary confinement!"

Situ Xu nodded: "We are just accompanying you out of kindness."

Situ Ran and Situ Mo: "Not bad!"

As they were talking, the three brothers held up their wine glasses and clinked them with Xie Yuantang and Situ Yan.

Situ Feng hugged her knees and sat on the ground, smiling, "It's great that we are all together. It seems like we are back to the day when we had hot pot at Fifth Brother's house."

As soon as the words fell, everyone's expressions paused for a moment.

That day, Situ Ye was also there...

Situ Xu rolled his eyes at his sister and whispered, "You really know how to talk." He was talking about things that were irrelevant.

Situ Mo smiled slightly, shook the teacup in his hand and said, "Old Four is just going to guard the imperial mausoleum. Maybe he can come back one day. Then, we brothers will be reunited one day."

Situ Yan added sadly, "Who knows, next time we get together, there may be one less person."

Everyone: “…” This tea is impossible to drink.

Situ Ran pointed at Situ Feng and Situ Yan: "You two, shut up."

The brother and sister looked aggrieved. One turned his head to the left to look at his wife, and the other turned his head to the right to look at his younger brother.

Xie Yuantang and Situ Xu looked at each other and said in unison: "Listen to Second Brother!"

Situ Yan asked: "Why?"

Situ Mo smiled and said, "Because we need to rely on our second brother to protect us tonight!"

Situ Yan and Situ Feng suddenly realized what was going on. They toasted Situ Ran with a cup of tea and said, "Second brother, we were wrong. Let's shut up."

Situ Ran glared at them one by one in annoyance, and snorted: "I believe that you are all people with conscience. If you owe me a favor, please pay it back during the Qiuwu Competition."

"Cough cough..."

Situ Mo covered his lips and coughed: "Brother, did you say anything just now? Sorry, I didn't hear it."

Situ Xu: "Third brother coughed too loudly, and I didn't hear what you said, second brother."

Situ Yan blinked his peach blossom eyes, smiled slightly, turned his head and looked at Xie Yuantang: "I heard it, but my lady, do we have a conscience?"

Xie Yuantang shook his head and said confidently: "No, it was eaten by dogs a long time ago!"

Situ Ran was so angry that he jumped up and down: "That's too much! It's really too much!"

"Brother, I heard it..."

Situ Feng raised her hand weakly and said obediently: "But...it's useless for me to hear it, I don't know anything."

Situ Ran: “…”

Everyone laughed as they looked at Situ Ran, whose face turned into a puffer fish due to anger.

It was rare for the brothers to get together in such harmony, but since Xie Yuantang came along, they seemed to finally be able to laugh and quarrel with each other like ordinary brothers and sisters.

Although it only happened occasionally, once they left this small dark room, they still schemed against each other and would even stab each other without mercy.

But at least, life is no longer all about intrigue and deception, and there are some small, ordinary happiness.

Perhaps even they themselves have not realized that now, deep down in their hearts, they have begun to care about other people.

……

Outside Jingsi Hall.

Situ Qing listened to the floating laughter and subconsciously raised his head.

It’s Jingsi Hall, that’s right!

But it was clear that the laughter came from more than just Xie Yuantang.

Situ Qing thought for a moment, then turned to look at Queen Mother Jiang: "Mother, is your nanny too lively?"

Queen Mother Jiang's forehead was full of black lines, and her face was shaking with anger: "How can a person in his fifties be lively? Tell me!"

Situ Lang suddenly spoke up: "Why is there a man's voice?"

It sounds familiar!

Situ Qing frowned, and three people strode in.

At first glance, I saw three maids lying at the door.

Just as Situ Qing was about to send someone forward, he heard an explosion inside:

“Four twos! Haha, give me money, give me money!”

Situ Qing: “…”

-

Separated by a door.

While Xie Yuantang was excitedly putting IOUs on everyone's forehead, he told Situ Yan, "Husband, don't forget to keep the accounts. They didn't bring any money today, so they bought everything on credit."

Situ Yan took her floral notebook and kept track of the account: "Yes, I have recorded everything, including the interest."

Situ Xu took a glance.

Damn, the interest doubled in one day!

Situ Feng's face was almost empty, and with a head full of white stripes, he asked Xie Yuantang unconvincedly: "Why do you always get four twos?"

Xie Yuantang blinked: "Lucky, what can I do."

"is it?"

A solemn voice came from outside the door.

Xie Yuantang was stunned and turned to look at the door.

The door creaked open, and Situ Qing snorted coldly, "I think your good luck has come to an end!"

Xie Yuantang: “…”

Situ Xiaolong and others: "..."

Situ Ran: “…” Damn!

Why was everything fine when Situ Xu and Situ Feng came yesterday, but he was caught as soon as he arrived today!

Looking at the food and drinks in the room, Queen Mother Jiang was so angry that her eyes went dark: "You, you... you are so bold!"

Under the scolding, those who had been successfully converted after the first try fell to their knees without hesitation!

"Queen Mother, please calm down. Father, please calm down. We know we are wrong!"

The movements were so uniform, as if they were from military training, that Situ Qing's temples twitched!

I don’t usually see you guys so team-spirited!

Situ Lang: “…” I feel like you are isolating me!

The Queen Mother Jiang finally caught him. She turned to Situ Qing and said, "Emperor, you saw it too! How can I just ignore it? Look at them, they are almost tearing down the roof!"

Hearing this, Situ Yan silently pushed the tile he had just taken off to use as a stool into the corner of the wall.

Situ Qing was also very angry: "Don't worry, mother, I will find out clearly."

He turned his head and glanced at the dragon cubs, and said in a deep voice: "The Queen Mother issued an order, 'Xie Yuantang should reflect on his mistakes in Jingsi Hall'. Which word of this sentence did you not understand?"

The little dragons said weakly: "I understand..."

Situ Qing: "Since you understand, who can explain to me why you are all gathered here?"

No one dared to explain.

Situ Qing glanced at them one by one and called out: "Ran'er!"

Situ Ran: “…” Ahhhhh I knew it would be like this!

Can’t you just skip him and call him the third one just for once!

Situ Ran raised his head bitterly and said respectfully: "Father, I know I shouldn't disobey the Queen Mother and shouldn't sneak into Jingsi Hall."

Situ Qing: "Humph, if you know that, then why do you knowingly commit the crime?"

Situ Ran was also a good actor. He immediately showed a worried expression and said the words they had prepared long ago:

"Because I and others accidentally learned that Fifth Brother's wife has not eaten since yesterday."

"Father also knows that we have a good relationship with Fifth Brother's wife in private. In addition, she is still very young. When we learned that she didn't eat, we were very worried about her health, so we brought food to visit her."
