How could he have uncontrollably turned into a playboy?

There were so many men by her side, but her heart was always empty. It was as if no matter how many men there were around her, none of them could truly occupy her heart. Everything was so ethereal.

After getting up, Pingfei pulled Xiaoxiao to sit down and patted her hands as she consoled her, "It's up to fate! Don't think too much about it. If Qi'er is the chosen one, he will be back soon. If we are destined to kill the Blue Dragon, there is nothing we can do. "

"I'm not thinking about that guy, it's just that … He just felt that … royal father often thinks about his return, if I knew something had happened to him, royal father's body wouldn't be able to take it. A few days ago, royal father's body had absorbed a lot of poison, in the past few days he had concocted some medicine for royal father, it should be slowly being cleansed. You don't know, royal father is in good shape now. " The tiny dead duck pouted, while in his mind, he saw the cold expression of Xuanyuan Qi.

"Good, good, good! Now that the Emperor is well, Mother's heart is at ease. You don't need to be so sad like Eunuch Lin. " Pingfei laughed and patted Snow Ball on the head. "Go back!" It's getting late, and before Qi'er comes back, it's best if you don't do anything rash.

"Little Ping, I got it. Mom, don't worry. Little Ping, you've come back to learn again." "Please flatter Imperial Concubine Mei and let her deal with the empress." Little Charmer said proudly.

"Hm!" This is all we can do. " Pingfei actually didn't like getting close to Imperial Concubine Mei. She wasn't a good person either.

"Mother, rest early. In a few days, when the two girls beside Xiaoxiao become more familiar with each other, Xiaoxiao will send one of them to serve you! " She nodded slightly. She had a warm fur scarf around her neck and a furry little thing in her arms. She believed that she wouldn't feel cold on her way back.

"Let's talk about it later!" As long as you take care of yourself, it will be the greatest comfort to Mother. " Pingfei nodded and led Xiaoxiao out of the house.

She was already used to being alone. He cried alone, laughed alone, and stayed alone in this great cold palace. Occasionally, when Eunuch Lin and Xiaoxiao came over to take a look, she would feel satisfied.

Reluctantly, she walked Xiaoxiao out of the main entrance of the rouge hall. Shaking her body, she felt a gust of cold wind blow past her and quickly walked back to her own courtyard.

After leaving the rouge hall, Xiaoxiao quickened her steps and returned. She did not want to kill another person in the middle of the journey. It was already enough to give her a headache if she bumped into two.

Along the long corridor, she quickly returned to the hall where Long Xi was. As he walked past Blue Rain's house, he habitually looked inside. The lights in the yard had already gone out. It seemed like it wasn't early anymore.

Sigh …

The people of the past are so good that they know twenty-four hours a day without a clock. However, she had been here for so long that she still didn't really know how to see the time.

There was no helping it, this was how stupid people were.

Feeling resentful towards herself, she lowered her head and walked to the entrance of her own courtyard. As he entered, he saw that the hall was lit up, and he could faintly hear the conversation of a man and a woman.

No way!

One could not talk about people during the day, and one could not talk about ghosts at night.

Be careful, your voice seems a little soft, as if … It seems like …

I really won't sleep with you today. Turning around, she wanted to leave. However, after thinking about it, he couldn't just leave this brat here overnight. Tomorrow morning, if that woman from Blue Rain saw him, he would probably have to go back to his mother's side.

She had no choice but to carry Snowball and drag her exhausted body into the house.

"Mistress, you're back?" Xiu-Er's eyes lit up when she saw her master's beautiful fur scarf.

"Return... "He's back …?" Xuanyuan Yu scratched his head before standing up and staring at Xiaoxiao.

Xiu-Er was eye-catching, but she was scared that Master would be cold. She put on some clothes and poured a cup of hot tea. She held Snowball and closed the door.

Snowball looked at Xiu-Er lazily and slept peacefully. Xiu-Er was afraid that the snow was cold, so she carried it back to the room next door.

Xiaoxiao and Xuanyuan Yu were the only ones left in the room, and she seemed extremely exhausted. She drank a mouthful of tea and leaned back on the chair, waiting for him to speak.

"Xiao-royal father, he …" Before Xuanyuan Yu could finish his words, he heard a small correction, "I'm your sister-in-law."

Xuanyuan Yu unwillingly creased his brows, his lips curling as he honestly called out, "Sister-in-law!"

"You're here for the consort selection, right?" She lazily opened her eyes and looked at the childish Xuanyuan Yu, thinking to herself that the lady suitable for him had gotten excited once more.

Xuanyuan Yu put down his cup and walked excitedly to Little Qiao's side. He first giggled and then asked in a low voice, "Which girl did you and royal father choose for Yu'er?"

Xiaoxiao closed her eyes again. There was still one more girl that she had yet to choose, and now, she was completely certain who would be with whom?

Master San could choose whatever he wanted, it would be better to find a shrew instead. If he didn't have some fun, he would have some fun himself. Just like tonight, he would come here in the middle of the night without sleeping, not afraid of any gossip from the servants.

"Sister-in-law, tell me!" Yu'er couldn't fall asleep for the past few days when he was thinking about it. " Xuanyuan Yu was so anxious that his hair almost turned white. He did not want to live with those vulgar fans. It was extremely boring!

"What do you want me to say? Right now, I haven't even chosen all the people, and royal father hasn't even given me an answer. I'm just a follower. What did you want me to say? Besides, you can't sleep because the girl is pretty? It's that you don't want to get married at all. " Being asked the same question by three men in one night, anyone would feel annoyed.

Moreover, these three men were all people that gave her headaches. One was unable to control himself, the other kept away from him, and the other...

Sigh … Every family had their own problems, and hers were these men.

"Since sister-in-law knows, why encourage royal father to choose an imperial concubine for Yu'er?" Xuanyuan Yu's mouth was filled with grievances.

"You!" Xiaoxiao was so angry that she didn't know what to say. She could only glare at the kid as she vented the anger in her heart.

"Are you angry?" Xuanyuan Yu did not understand and after pondering for a while, he opened his mouth again, "Second Brother and Third Brother, have you come looking for me as well?"

"You guys really are brothers. One in front, one in back. Are you making me restless before you all feel comfortable?!" Xiaoxiao was unable to control the anger in her heart, and all of that anger was directed at Xuanyuan Yu.

Feeling that something was wrong, Xuanyuan Yu could only tactfully close her mouth. After waiting for an entire day and not asking for anything, he was still unwilling to accept it. However, he couldn't bear to continue disturbing Xiaoxiao after seeing his exhausted appearance. He stood up, disappointed, and opened the door.

"royal father and I will find you a suitable one. Tomorrow, choose another one, and royal father will set a time to let you two marry each other." Little Jun spoke weakly, which could be considered as a comfort to him, lest he lose sleep again tonight.

Xuanyuan Yu suddenly stopped and turned his head. With a face full of anticipation, he looked at Xiaoxiao and asked, "Do you really want me to get married as soon as possible?"

Heavens!

She really wanted to die. Why did the tone of the three brothers sound the same?!

Slightly opening her eyes, she stealthily glanced at Xuanyuan Yu and discovered that his eyes were filled with such stubbornness. This was the first time she saw him this serious.

She didn't seem to have shown him any mercy. Did she hurt him?

The answer was yes, it made her heart ache. Standing up, she dragged her tired body over to Xuanyuan Yu and very gently replied, "Everyone is like you and get married as soon as possible. Only then will it completely prove that you've grown up."

Xuanyuan Yu's face was gloomy, of course, he could hear that Xiaoxiao was only tactfully rejecting his feelings. It was because he was inferior to his big brother that Xiaoxiao looked down on him.

He felt angry, but also felt inferior.

Their gazes met, and the light in his eyes became more and more unyielding. Suddenly, he turned around and walked out of the door with a face full of anger.

"Why do I feel like I've committed another crime?"

Looking at Xuanyuan Yu's back, he muttered to himself a little, too lazy to think any further. Now, all she wanted was to lie on the bed and get a good night's sleep. Hopefully, tomorrow will be the last day, or the butt will be made into hemorrhoids.

In the courtyard, other than Xiaoxiao and Xiu-Er, there was another person who couldn't sleep at all. She stood on the bed and watched Xuanyuan Yu's leaving figure as her heart was stirred up.

However, before Xiaoxiao even got close to the house, she thought of Ling'er who was still recovering. Taking a step forward, she entered Ling'er's room.

Hearing footsteps, Ling'er lay back down, pretending to be asleep.

She walked over and checked Ling'er's pulse, then untied her clothes to check her wounds. The wound was already completely scarred, but the master's medicine was still different. He checked his lips again. The colour of his lips had changed to cherry red. It should be fine.

Relieved, she stood up and walked back to her room. He lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep without taking off his clothes.

The next day, the sky had just begun to brighten, and black smoke was coming out of a corner of the palace. A few girls and eunuchs ran out from the palace.

"Fire! It's on fire! "

He saw a girl with a black face shout and fall to the ground.

With this shout, all the girls and eunuchs in the yard fell into a mess. Some were holding pots, while others were holding pots. They were pouring water over the fire.

At this moment, Xiu-Er rushed into the room as she was about to sleep. She was shaken awake by a burst of panic.

"Xiu-Er, my bones are going to break soon. You can't make me sleep more." He waved his hands in a daze and turned to go back to sleep.

Xiu-Er's forehead was covered with cold sweat. She couldn't bear to see her master so tired. She just stood beside the bed.

Xiaoxiao turned over and did not fall asleep again. Xiu-Er didn't hear him. She turned around and said lazily, "What is it that keeps me awake so early in the morning?"

"Master... Master! " Xiu-Er crouched down and spoke in a low voice, "There is a fire in the Nature's Palace."

"What?"

Xiaoxiao jumped up from the bed, put her feet into her shoes, and rushed out of the bed without even wearing her clothes.

Outside the door, all the maids and eunuchs who had rushed into the palace carried buckets and basins before returning to the courtyard. He found a ladder from the utility room and climbed it. From her vantage point, she could clearly see the few black clouds of smoke still circling above the roof of the palace.

"Haha!" "Hahaha!"

Xiaoxiao suddenly raised her head and laughed. Her feet slipped, her body leaned back, and she fell down.
