Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 2024

Several people took their seats one by one, and the smell of sandalwood curled in the flower hall.

The tips of Xiao Jiu's ears were still slightly red.

He knew that what his sister wanted to discuss was marriage, but for some reason he was not as resistant as before.

If you think about it carefully, Wei Pingting's so-called "bullying" was nothing more than some harmless and naughty tricks.

What's more subtle is that the girl is always well-behaved and polite to others except him.

If the girl used this trick on someone else in the future, he would be... angry. The thought made his chest tighten.

In just this short period of time, the young man thought about everything from the second half of his life to old age and death.

Shi Anxia sipped the fruit tea, looked at the fruit pieces floating in the tea, and suddenly sighed, "Seeing our little Pingting grow up to be so pretty, I feel old."

Wei Cailing, who was picking at the candied fruit in the crystal cup with a silver skewer, laughed when she heard this. "Xia'er, do you feel the same way? I was still in a daze just now. You were a baby who could barely speak clearly yesterday..."

"Sister!" Wei Pingting was afraid that her sister would tell Zhutoujiu about the embarrassing incident of wetting her pants when she was a child, so she interrupted her sister by acting coquettishly.

A sudden gust of wind blew past the window, blowing Wei Pingting's hair into a flutter. The girl subconsciously raised her hand to catch the tea, and the jade bracelet on her fair wrist hit the teacup, making a clear tinkling sound.

The sound startled Xiao Jiu from his panic.

He looked at the girl's profile across from him, which was outlined by the sunset glow, and suddenly felt his throat tighten. It turned out that the friendship between childhood sweethearts had quietly developed into something special during their daily play.

At this time, Shi Anxia brought the topic to Xiao Jiu, "Yes, at that time, my brother was still young, wearing a pig-headed mask to guess lantern riddles. In the blink of an eye, our little prince is getting married."

Wei Pingting suddenly looked up in surprise, with a lingering glow in her eyes.

Zhu Tou Jiu is getting married? With whom? When? These questions are stuck in his throat, but he can't ask a single word.

In fact, they had not known each other for very long.

It was after returning to the capital from Tiema City that Xiao Jiu began to frequently go in and out of Wei Mansion.

Wei Pingting didn't know Xiao Jiu was a prince at first and thought he was her brother's colleague.

The boy's every move revealed a sense of alienation. He always came with a gloomy look, often sitting alone in the courtyard with a jar of wine in his arms until he passed out on the stone steps.

She remembered the first time she saw him drunk, the moonlight was shining on his furrowed brows. She dipped her ink and drew six cat whiskers on his face.

The boy's furious look when he woke up made her laugh so hard that she fell down under the crabapple tree.

Later, Wei Pingting found out that all the gloom was caused by the death of her husband.

After understanding the reason, she teased him even more severely - throwing salt into his teasing, setting trip ropes on his path, and even tying his jade pendant to the treetop.

Every time she saw him jumping up and down in anger, she felt that the haze in his eyes seemed to fade a little.

Until one day, when she was stuffing willow catkins into his quiver, she suddenly noticed his red eyes.

The boy gritted his teeth and asked, "Wei Pingting, do you think this is interesting?"

She stood there with a fistful of catkins in her hands, feeling wronged. "Yes, it is very interesting."

When you shoot arrows, willow catkins float out and fill the sky. Isn’t that interesting?

Anyway, the more she teased him, the angrier he got.

She was helpless and very angry.

Suddenly, Xiao Jiu stood up and bowed deeply to Wei Pingting, "I wonder if Miss Wei is willing to marry me?"
