The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

"Third brother, how are you?" The slightly childish voice revealed the clearness of a teenager.

Although he looked anxious, he still stood politely at the door and waited for Xie Nanyuan's consent before crossing the threshold and entering Zhaoyang Palace.

Luo Xiyao bowed and said, "Fifth Prince, are you well."

"Sister Pingning, there's no need to be so polite." The fifth prince smiled, revealing two small fangs.

The fifth prince's biological mother, Concubine Shun, was of humble origin and was originally just a maid in the cold palace. Now she is not favored by the emperor, and the fifth prince is not as respected as Prince An and Prince Rui in front of the emperor.

Fortunately, the emperor has always attached great importance to the academic performance of each prince, and the fifth prince is the only underage prince in the palace. Therefore, he is often randomly checked by the emperor on his academic performance, and the palace people dare not neglect him.

The fifth prince is not favored and does not have many opportunities to leave the palace. He has a good relationship with Xie Nanyuan, so if he leaves the palace, he will most likely go to Prince Rui's Mansion.

After a few visits, he met Princess Pingning many times, and he liked this cheerful sister very much.

Therefore, when there were no one else around, the Fifth Prince usually called Princess Pingning "sister" to show his closeness.

Luo Xiyao smiled and then let herself go.

She stretched out two jade-white fingers, pinched the Fifth Prince's cheeks, and said, "Thank you, Xiaowu. Thank you very much."

If he hadn't come to the rescue at Princess Yongle's banquet, Qionghua would have been punished.

The fifth prince slapped her hand away and said, "I am helping you at the behest of my third brother. Please don't be so self-indulgent."

"Okay, okay, I'm doing this thanks to your third brother, okay."

Looking at Xie Xiaowu who was clinging to Xie Nanyuan's side, Luo Xiyao rolled her eyes.

We only see each other a few times a year, so why is he so attached to his cousin? If you don’t know, you would think that Xie Xiaowu was raised by his cousin.

But in fact, when his cousin followed his father to the border, Xie Xiaowu was only three years old and could not remember anything.

Later, my cousin only came back two or three times a year, and I always stuck to him every time.

In the year since his cousin was injured and returned to Beijing, the number of times Xie Xiaowu left the palace increased visibly.

I don’t know how Concubine Shun felt when she saw that the son she raised with great difficulty was not sticking to her but sticking to someone else.

The fifth prince stood in front of Xie Nanyuan, his eyes slightly red, and it was obvious that he had been crying.

He looked at Xie Nanyuan, who looked a little pale, and said in a choked voice, "Third brother, are you still in pain?"

Xie Xiaowu also knew that his cousin was injured?

Xie Nanyuan and Luo Xiyao looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

"You know I'm injured?" Xie Nanyuan asked with a serious look on his face.

The Fifth Prince nodded and said, "When the Imperial Physician went to report to the Emperor, he was checking my studies, so I knew about it."

"Third brother, hunting at night is too dangerous. It's better not to do it in the future. If you get seriously injured, even if you hunt bear paws, it will not be worth it."

Xie Nanyuan and Luo Xiyao both breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

It's not that they didn't want to tell the truth to the Fifth Prince, it's really about Shen Qionghua's reputation. The fewer people who know, the less likely it is to be exposed.

After all, the fifth prince is still young and full of youthful vigor. It would be bad if he let something slip.

"It was just a spur of the moment action last night. I won't do it again next time." Xie Nanyuan said. He still cared a lot about this younger brother who loved to stick to him since he was a child.

Seeing that Xie Nanyuan agreed, the Fifth Prince smiled again.

After the heavy topic was over, they started talking about lighter things. This matter had been weighing on the Fifth Prince's mind for several days.

The fifth prince blinked his big round eyes and asked the question in his mind.

"Third brother, do you like that Miss Shen?"

He had never seen his third brother care so much about a woman.

After the palace banquet that night, before dawn the next day, he had not yet gotten up when his third brother suddenly came to visit.

He was dressed in military uniform, and it was obvious that he had come to see him before entering the enclosure.

It was not for anything else, but to let him hang around there for a while when the eldest princess held a banquet. If he saw them making things difficult for a young lady named Shen, he would help her out.

That's why he was able to speak up for her at the most critical moment and let the eldest princess avoid Miss Shen's punishment.

It may also be because he is the youngest of all the emperor's children. Although the eldest princess is not polite to others, she will still listen to his words to some extent.

He wanted to ask his third brother this question afterwards, but unfortunately he had never found the right time. Now is an opportunity.

Sister Pingning is here. He saw that Pingning had a good relationship with Miss Shen at the banquet. If he said something wrong, Pingning could help him out.

Luo Xiyao had no idea of ​​the Fifth Prince's little thoughts. When she heard what he said, she was overjoyed.

Before Xie Nanyuan could speak, he said, "Xie Xiaowu, what's going on in your head every day?"

"How could my cousin possibly like Miss Shen?"

"He just doesn't like women!"

"There's no way they both can!"

"Qionghua doesn't like your cousin's type. She likes men with good temper and gentle manners."

"Look at my cousin's cold face and strange temper. Which condition does he have?"

"Qionghua doesn't like my cousin!"

After Luo Xiyao finished speaking, she quickly covered her mouth. Seeing the extremely ugly expression on Xie Nanyuan's face, as if he was looking at a dead person, the temperature around her suddenly dropped sharply. Her big eyes spun rapidly in her eye sockets, with an expression of regret.

Oops!

Wasn't she being too direct?

After all, I still have to save some face for my cousin in front of Xie Xiaowu!

The fifth prince's eyes were wide open, his lips were open, and his face was full of disbelief, as if he had suffered a great shock.

She she she...what did she say?

Brother San doesn’t like women?!

Brother San doesn’t like women, so does that mean he likes men?

Could it be that Third Brother has a homosexual tendency?!

The Fifth Prince's head was buzzing, and his young heart was greatly shocked. He said in a trance:

"You mean... Third Brother... has a homosexual tendency...?!"
