Chapter 442: Touching
Previously, Zhao Xuanjing praised Xie Qiao for being a good sister, but now he said she missed Mo Chusheng, this young lady?
Hmph.
Xie Qiao’s face tensed up, “Yes, after not seeing you for a few days, junior brother’s demeanor has become more and more radiant. Unlike me, I age quickly, and my face is full of wrinkles.”
Zhao Xuanjing could sense her agitation all over her body.
However, he pretended not to see it. He moved closer to her ear and said with a smile, “Master always said that senior sister’s beauty is unparalleled. In my heart, it is indeed so.”
Xie Qiao gritted her teeth.
No, she knew her own face. Mo Chusheng was much uglier than her, how could she be as beautiful as her?
Xie Pinggang looked at the Crown Prince suspiciously, as if he was displeased with the Crown Prince’s poor taste.
Look at this Taoist master. Her hair was smooth and black, but her face… was ordinary and boring. What was there to look at?
Her beauty was unparalleled? If that was the case, his sister was a goddess who had descended to the mortal world.
The three of them sat down, and Xie Pinggang called for the dishes to be served.
He even said sneakily, “My Eldest Sister has a lot of good wine hidden in her courtyard. I found it with great difficulty, but she’s not at home right now. I’ll sneak out two jars and let the Crown Prince have a taste.”
Xie Qiao’s eyes were filled with anger.
Xie Pinggang, this pig, actually dared to steal her wine to drink?!
“Isn’t that a little terrible?” Zhao Xuanjing said with a faint smile.
“It’s okay. That girl is silly. She doesn’t know how much wine she has brewed. It doesn’t matter if she loses a few jars. Besides, isn’t Your Highness here? Of course, I have to treat you with the best things,” Xie Pinggang was now a lackey.
If Xie Qiao caught him, he could push the blame onto the Crown Prince.
If the Crown Prince wanted to drink, what could he do?!
Xie Pinggang cheerfully went to search for the wine.
Xie Qiao’s heart ached.
Her wine!
When she came to the capital from the Water Moon Temple, she did not bring many things. The wine was mostly brewed after she came to the capital, so there really was not much…
The corners of Xie Qiao’s lips curled down slightly, and her face was tense. She looked like a grasshopper that was tied to a rope. Her entire body was filled with anger, but she could not escape.
She wanted to grab Xie Pinggang’s head and hit it.
“Senior sister, you don’t look well. What happened?” Zhao Xuanjing asked despite knowing the answer.
Xie Qiao forced a smile, “I haven’t heard from Master for a long time. I’m worried!”
“Maybe it’s because he has been travelling far away,” Zhao Xuanjing’s thin lips were smiling, and his eyes were gentle. His voice was charming, “When Master comes back, ask him to preside over the marriage for the two of us. What do you think of that?”
The tea cup in Xie Qiao’s hand shook, “Junior brother, you are still a child in my heart!”
“Senior Sister Mo is also like a child in my heart. In this way, the two of us are equally young,” Zhao Xuanjing was thick-skinned.
Xie Qiao turned her head away.
‘My, my. You sure are flirty.’
Suddenly, Zhao Xuanjing actually pulled her hand over and placed it on his lower back, “How about this? Senior sister is also well-versed in phrenology, right? Why don’t you take a look at mine?”
Xie Qiao felt she had to get rid of her hand.
If she wanted to take a look, she would. Why was he touching her?
Her face was flushing, but it was a pity that there was a thick layer of fake skin on the outside, so it could not be seen.
She even looked like a calm, experienced lady now.
“No need. You are the Crown Prince. You have all the wealth and luck,” Xie Qiao withdrew her hand secretly, but it was clenched tightly. Xie Qiao raised her eyes and glared at him, but he realized that his gaze was burning and passionate, and it would make one’s heart race.
“Junior brother, are you really going to marry me?” Xie Qiao mustered her courage and asked in return. She did not want to be outdone, so she placed her small hand on his chin, “Junior Brother’s bones are really unparalleled in the world. I’ve actually been coveting you for a long time…”
