Xiao Shiyi narrowed his eyes dangerously, "It's because of me that Fourteenth has never been given a mansion."

In the Xiao Kingdom's royal family, males were generally granted a palace from the age of five, and upon reaching marriageable age, they would leave the palace and live in their own palace. When Xiao Shiyi was three years old, the late emperor granted him his current palace; while Xiao Shiyu was already past the age for a palace grant, Xiao Shengyu had yet to receive one, a large reason for which lay in Xiao Shiyi's fate.

Xiao Shiyi holds a large number of troops and has great power in the court. While Xiao Shengyu wants to use him, he also has to be on guard against him, so he "detains" Xiao Shiyu in disguise, so as to restrain Xiao Shiyi and use him for his own purposes.

Wu Qingyue was well aware of the interests involved. Being born in the royal family, there were really too many things she had to do.

"Don't blame yourself too much. Fourteen would be worried if he knew. Besides, this isn't your fault. 'The strong prey on the weak.' If you weren't strong enough, your life with Fourteen would be even harder."

"Well, Yue'er has a very clear vision!" He praised without hesitation.

"...Let's go now."

She is thin-skinned and cannot stand praise.

"Haha."

Xiao Shiyi was in a good mood and took her hand and left without caring about other people's eyes.

Wherever they walked, palace maids and eunuchs would stop and talk behind them!

Without exception, they were all like "The Ninth Prince's Concubine is so lucky" and "The Ninth Prince dotes on her so much".

A woman was hiding in a corner where they couldn't see her, her eyes filled with jealousy!

Why did she suffer in this cold palace while she lived a prosperous life?

The guards at Xiao Shiyu's door trembled in fear when they saw Xiao Shiyi and Wu Qingyue coming...

"I didn't know the prince was coming. I will go in and tell the young prince!"

"No need, I will go in and find him."

"This is not good..."

Xiao Shiyi gave the guard a sharp look, and the guard was so frightened that he immediately dared not say a word.

As soon as the two entered the door, a "hidden weapon" flew over -

Xiao Shiyi quickly hugged Wu Qingyue and hid away!

He looked up, and his face darkened when he saw the situation in front of him——

Xiao Shiyu didn't know that the two men were coming today, so when they arrived at his palace, he was chasing a servant around the palace and beating him!

"fourteen!"

The powerful voice frightened Xiao Shiyu so much that he stopped immediately!

"Brother Huang, why are you here so suddenly?"

He hid the thing in his hand behind his body guiltily.

"What are you holding in your hand? Take it out!"

"No, no more, huh?"

"take it out!"

Xiao Shiyu was so scared that he quickly took out the thing hidden behind him.

"Give me."

Xiao Shiyu handed it to him tremblingly...

Xiao Shiyi snatched the thing from his hand. After taking a quick look, his face became even darker!

He asked, "Who gave it to you?"

Xiao Shiyu's face turned pale, he bit his lips and said nothing.

"Say!"

"Can I not tell you?" He plucked up the courage to try to bargain.

"No."

"Second brother gave it to me."

The second brother that Xiao Shiyu mentioned is Xiao Shengyu.

Wu Qingyue walked out from behind Xiao Shiyi. She took a look at what Xiao Shiyi was holding in his hand and suddenly understood why he was so angry.

What he was holding in his hand were the dice used for gambling in casinos!

This was the thing that just "sneak attacked" them!

"Not only are you idle and unlearning all day, but now you've also developed a gambling habit?"

"Brother Emperor, I didn't!" Xiao Shiyu protested.

"Nothing? No gambling?"

"That's not called gambling, that's called sparring..."

"Sparring, then why are you hitting people?"

"I, I didn't hit anyone, I was just teasing him!" Xiao Shiyu was still quibbling.

"Tease him?"

Xiao Shiyi pointed at the servant who was beaten black and blue: "Is this what you mean by teasing him?"

Xiao Shiyu looked around guiltily, but didn't dare to look into Xiao Shiyi's eyes.

"Your Highness, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on the young prince. It was my fault for failing to do my duty and not following the young prince's wishes." The man who was beaten said quickly.

"Of course this is your fault!"

Xiao Shiyi said coldly, "The master is unlearned and unskillful, and as a servant, I actually followed him and wasted my time. I deserve to be beaten."

The servant had originally taken the responsibility on himself, but he never expected that Xiao Shiyi would actually blame him!

"Your Majesty..." The servant, whose face was bruised and swollen from the beating, was almost terrified.

"Listen up to me, if I find you following the young prince and being ignorant again, I will beat you up every time I see you!"

"This time, I won't beat you. All of you, kneel down at the door. Do not get up without my order!"

"Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy!"

The servant who had escaped everything quickly ran to the door and knelt straight down -

Seeing this, the remaining servants also ran to the door and knelt down.

Suddenly, there were only three of them left here.

"Brother Royal..."

Xiao Shiyu was afraid that Xiao Shiyi would come after him to "settle the score", so he quickly pretended to be pitiful and said, "I will never dare to do that again!"

"fourteen."

For the first time in his life, Xiao Shiyi stopped blaming him. He spoke to him earnestly, "Now that you've become like this, I have an unshirkable responsibility. I swear to you, it won't be long before I take you out of the palace and you live with us, okay?"

"really?"

When Xiao Shiyu heard this, his eyes immediately flashed with anticipation!

Their mother died early, and ever since he could remember, his elder brother had gone out to fight for the country of Xiao, leaving him alone in this cold palace to "fend for himself". It's not that he had never resented his elder brother, but every time he saw how hard his elder brother worked, he could no longer utter any complaints.

Especially after his elder brother became a powerful official in the State of Xiao, he no longer complained about him, but instead began to admire him!

His royal brother is so powerful, he must become the same person as him when he grows up!

But he didn't know what to do to become like his royal brother.

Here, no one talked to him except the palace maids and eunuchs in his own palace. The master who taught him poetry, books and etiquette was driven away by him within a few days.

So, gradually, he became more and more dandy...

But the emperor just said that he was coming to pick him up?

is that true?

"Really? When has my brother ever lied to you?"

it is true!

"Brother Imperial——"

Xiao Shisi could no longer bear the grievance in his heart and threw himself into Xiao Shiyi's arms.

"Woo!"

He cried like an abandoned little animal, looking pitiful.

Xiao Shiyi was not very good at comforting people, so he could only pat his back stiffly to convey his comfort to him.

Wu Qingyue watched all this silently, her eyes a little hot.

Compared with her two brothers, she had a very happy childhood.

She looked at Xiao Shisi who was crying miserably in Xiao Shiyi's arms, and made a secret decision in her heart.
