Crossing the Sauvignon Blanc

Chapter 175 I Don’t Like Qiu Anymore

Xiao Yao stayed in the courtyard for a while and didn't go anywhere. She knew that Yan Mo would definitely hurt his body if he plucked out his tail feathers, so she had been refining medicine to nourish Yan Mo's body during this period. She also prepared medicinal food for Yan Mo three meals a day, so that Yan Mo would get a headache when he saw Xiao Yao coming.

"Xiangliu, feed your sister and finish her meal. Don't leave a single drop!"

Xiaoyao knows how to focus on the key points. She lets Xiangliu feed her. No matter how bitter it is, she has to finish it! Xiangliu feeds Yan Mo little by little with a smile. The courtyard is large, and after eating, he wanders around. He comes to the lotus pond and takes out fish food from the wooden box next to it to feed it.

"Oh, how pitiful! I'm about to become a lonely woman!"

"If you want to go anywhere, I'll go with you!"

"Forget it, let's wait until Merlin is over first! When they are born, the four of us will go together! Well, when the time comes, you can hold one in each hand and carry the other on my back!"

"You are really imaginative!" Xiangliu thought about the scene and seemed quite looking forward to it.

Yan Mo asked: "What are Mu Fei and the others doing?"

Xiang Liu replied, "They're discussing it right now! It's hard to say! You don't have to worry about them all the time. If Xiao Yao and Big Brother join forces, few can be their opponents. You're just meddling in other people's affairs!"

Yan Mo felt a little helpless. She wondered if pregnant women tended to overthink things. She always felt uneasy.

"I watched Xiaoyao grow up. I'm not worried about anyone, but she's very hardworking and has never let me down. Merlin, be careful that Tu Shanjing won't interfere."

"Yes, yes, I've already sent someone to keep a close eye on him. Can you rest assured?"

"Are you impatient?"

"I dare not!" Xiangliu raised his hands in surrender. He must not mess with a pregnant woman!

Yan Mo chuckled. It was a rare day of leisure.

Seeing Yan Mo's complexion gradually getting better, Xiao Yao felt relieved. Today, she received another invitation from Fenglong, and it turned out that nothing had changed.

Fang Fengbei grabbed the invitation and read it in front of everyone.

"Your Highness, there will be a fireworks display at Muxiang Garden in three days. Would you be interested in watching it? Inviter: Chishui Fenglong"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, are you interested in watching it together? Do you want to see the fireworks or Her Highness Princess Xiaoyao?"

Xiao Yao rubbed her forehead. It wasn't her who wrote it, so was there any need to be so sarcastic?

"How about, Master Ayao, you transform into my appearance, I'll be the windbreaker, and you go accompany him?"

What a jealous person!

"Hahaha, Xiaoyao, what a great idea!" Yan Mo clapped his hands in admiration. He was truly envious. Even men and women could be transformed at will.

Zijinding

Fang Fengbei has to go to the Jintian Clan to see how the bows and arrows are doing, and he also needs to go back to Qingshui Town and visit the demon soldiers. In short, he's quite busy! Xiaoyao simply moved to Zijinding to stay for a few days. After all, he can't leave Xuan alone for too long.

Xuan was delighted and asked the maids to clean up the palace and live close to Xuan. Xiaoyao didn't bring anyone with her, only letting Yinyue accompany her. The Daming Palace on Wushen Mountain was very large, with few maids and guards, so it seemed very quiet.

Seeing that Xuan was always tired, Xiaoyao kindly took care of his body. He still had to be the King of Xiyan, so how could he always be like a sickly person?

Tu Shanjing would come over every now and then, but he would just glance at Xiaoyao from a distance, never approaching to say a word. They both knew what was going on, but Xiaoyao just didn't notice. Tu Shanjing's eyes were dark and unclear, as if he was waiting for an opportunity...

Xuan thought Tu Shanjing still couldn't let go of Xiaoyao, so he patted Tu Shanjing on the shoulder and sighed helplessly. Tu Shanjing sneered, saying that he couldn't get her anyway.

At night, Xiaoyao heard the sound of hammering on wooden boards in the courtyard. It was not yet late at night, and Xiaoyao had not slept yet, but was lost in thought.

"Brother, what are you doing? You are very tired during the day, so go to bed early at night."

What Xiaoyao meant was that it was such a rare quiet time at night and you still came here to bother her. I’m afraid you are planning to hit on her again!

"Xiaoyao, come here. I made a swing for you. Come and try it."

Xiaoyao was helpless, she had grown up. Only Xuanxuan was forever trapped in childhood.

"Brother, do you miss the carefree days? But we've all grown up, and we may not enjoy the fun we had as children anymore. You can't take what we said as children seriously, understand?"

Xuanxuan was a bit stunned and at a loss. But he quickly covered it up and replied with a smile, "I didn't think too much about it. I don't know what you like, Xiaoyao. In my heart, Xiaoyao is still the little sister Xiaoyao who follows me around and calls me brother. So... it's my fault. I'm too busy and don't have time to spend with you."

Xiaoyao stroked the wooden board of the swing frame, which was covered with a soft cushion, grabbed the iron chains on both sides, and sat down gently.

"I'll help you push!"

Seeing Xiaoyao willing to sit down, Xuanxuan was already very satisfied. It seemed as if he had returned to his childhood, when they depended on each other for survival.

"Brother, do you know? During those years when I was imprisoned by the nine-tailed fox, I relied on the memories of you to survive. At that time, no one could replace my brother in my heart. Brother has always been a special existence in my heart."

Xiaoyao said this not because she wanted to let Xuanxuan go, but because she had indeed put Xuanxuan first. She did not kill him, but just wanted to return the harm he had done to her. But she also kept giving Xuanxuan a chance. Just like her father said, Xuanxuan's final outcome was entirely in his own hands. Therefore, her mother never stopped her from taking revenge on Xuanxuan.

Xuanxuan was deeply shocked. He had always known that Xiaoyao cared about him, but she just liked to play around a little and never made things difficult for him.

"Xiaoyao, it was my fault for not picking you up, which is why you suffered so much."

"Brother, if one day, you and I were on opposite sides, and it was either you die or I live, what would you do?"

Xuanxuan walked up to Xiaoyao, squatted down, and said solemnly: "Brother will not let that happen!"

Xiaoyao sneered: "What if it happens?"

"Xiaoyao, you will stand on your brother's side, right?"

Yes, you said you wouldn't let this happen. You meant revealing her true identity, forcing her to hide in Xiaoyueding and accept his protection, forcing her to watch helplessly as her father, King Anian, went to the battlefield, leaving her helpless as Xiangliu's death countdown approached. You didn't even agree to my last humble request, going back on your word...

"Tell me, you have something to talk to me about tonight. If you have something to say, you can just say it directly, there's no need to do all this."

Xuanxuan smiled awkwardly, "You make it seem like everything I do has a purpose. Is that the kind of person I am in your heart? Can't I just simply try to please you?"

"Don't want to tell me? Then I'll leave?" Xiao Yao pretended to get up and go back.

"Tell me, tell me, why do I feel like you can see through everything I'm thinking? Fenglong has invited you many times, but you've refused. Do me a favor and go meet him!"

"Okay, I'll wait for Bei to come back and then go together!"

Xuanxuan was choked by Xiaoyao's words. Going with Fangfengbei? It would be better not to go!

"Xiaoyao, stop joking with your brother."

"Brother, you know I like Bei, right? If I go when Bei is not around, Bei will be unhappy."

"You just need to see him. He didn't ask you to do anything. Do you think a princess of your country should be controlled by a bastard?"

"Aren't you close to Xinyue? It's enough for you and Xinyue to get married. Why do you have to involve me?"

Xiaoyao just wanted to piss him off and see what else he could do. He was tired of hearing these words in his previous life.

"Brother is training his troops. Brother needs Fenglong. He wants to see you, so just go and see him. Brother doesn't require you to marry him."

"Brother, are you planning a rebellion?" Xiaoyao made a surprised expression, as if frightened by Xuanxuan's crazy behavior.

"Shh! So, Xiaoyao, can you help your brother?"

"What good will it do me? Forget it, I'll go. However, I won't arrange marriages. I'm a princess, I can marry whoever I want, as long as I like them, regardless of gender. Why would I want to be trapped in a marriage? It's so boring! If he's willing to marry me in the future, that's fine!"

"Xiaoyao..." Xuanxuan was so shocked that he was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

"Brother, I'm tired. You should rest early too. I don't like the swing anymore. Don't bother with it anymore."

Xiaoyao left, leaving Xuanxuan staring at the swing in a daze. He didn't like it anymore... When he looked back, Xiaoyao was nowhere to be seen. The empty courtyard was cold and lonely.
