A pale face was reflected in the dark green tea. The tea was already cold, but it was still filled to the brim. A pot of green spring water with a few plates of exquisite pastries could sit by the window on the second floor for a day. That was a reasonable price.

"This Spring Jade is called Old Time Tea?" "Why is it so hard to drink?" A seven or eight-year-old kid spat out his tea, pretending to be an adult as he spoke. He wore a purple silk robe and had an extremely expensive jade pendant around his neck. He was obviously a young master from a noble family.

The youth next to him took out a piece of cake and fed it to him: "Come, open your mouth."

"No!" The child slapped away the pastries, looking unhappy, "I want to drink green tea! It's the kind that Daddy drinks! "

The youth bent over to pick up the cake and put it on the corner of the table: "Young master be good and don't let children drink green tea."

The child pouted, "I don't care! I want to drink it! "

The youth whispered: "Young master, your father's tea is missing."

"Nonsense!" This was the largest teahouse, how could there not be one? I want to drink! If you don't buy it for me, I will cry and let my grandfather scold you! "

The youth's expression changed as he repeatedly said, "My young master, please spare me."

The child screamed out, "Dad!" before opening his mouth to cry. The disturbed guests glanced at them, unwilling to cause trouble, then turned back to ignore them.

"Stop crying, if you cry again, I'll throw you out." A slightly irritated voice sounded. The reason they came to the teahouse was to have peace and quiet. Although those who would say such words were unusual, it was within reason.

The child's crying stopped for a moment, and the provocative voice became louder.

The young man apologized repeatedly. Then, he saw the handsome young man holding the teapot on his table walk over. Before he could say anything, he directly pointed the teapot at the child's head and dripped the teapot on his head. Other than the cup that he had already poured out, not a single drop was left in the pot of cold Jade-like Spring. He poured it all over the child's body, causing his heart to feel cold.

The youth had just recovered from his shock when the person in front of him spoke again, "I've told you before, don't cry in front of me. I won't give your father any face." He placed the teapot on the table and walked back.

The child was stunned for a moment, then began to cry again.

"Right." Under the terrified gaze of the young man, the man turned around and looked at the child crying in his throat. His face was cold as he said, "The pot on your table is hot, but mine is cold." "Next time, as long as it's not hot enough, I will definitely not hold back."

The youth finally had time to speak, "My lord, my young master is …"

Who would have thought that this person didn't even plan on listening to his words? He immediately made a threatening expression at his young master and added fiercely, "Zhao Su, how dare you complain to your father and your mother. Next time, let's see who gets scolded."

"Wow!" This time, Zhao Su was really crying. Her little face was pale with fright.

"Shuxi, why did you make young master cry?" A gentle voice sounded, but when the owner of the voice saw his precious son sitting there without saying a word and crying in tears while drenched in tea, he did not care about gentleness anymore, "What's going on? What do you want? "How did you do that?"

How could Shuxi dare to explain? He could only kneel on the ground and beg for forgiveness.

"I did it. I was afraid he would light the fire and pour it on him." The young man, who had just walked back to his seat and had yet to sit down, quickly admitted it.

"You … He … "I …" Zhao Baiyi's expression immediately changed. He didn't know what to say anymore, "Yunmo, why are you making a fuss over nothing with an ignorant kid like him?"

Zhao Qingyan drained the cup of cold tea in one gulp. "Don't talk to me, father of that ignorant child. I'm not in a good mood."

Hearing him say so, Zhao Baiyi was completely dejected. He bitterly smiled and said, "Eh, my son got someone to pour water over him, and I even fell for it. Who's going to judge for me?"

Zhao Qingyan said, "I've paid for your son's tea. I'm leaving."

Zhao Baiyi was surprised. He knew Ye Mo was in a bad mood, so he reached out his hand to stop him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Qingyan was stopped by him. He reached out for a handkerchief and placed it on Zhao Su's head, coaxing her, "This time Seventh Uncle is in the wrong, but the next time will be the same. Of course, I won't be caught by your father next time." He took a handkerchief and wiped his tears. "Don't cry."

Zhao Baiyi was caught unprepared by his apology. After a long while, he said, "Actually, there's something that has been troubling me." "Tell me, should I help my son or brother at this point?"

Zhao Qingyan said, "The son is born of his own accord. The younger brother is the younger brother of someone else."

Zhao Su did not know if she understood or not as she said softly, "Let my father bully you when you have a son."

No matter how unhappy Zhao Qingyan was, he was amused. He squatted down and wiped his hair, "Thank you for your blessings. I also hope that I can give birth to a son in the future."

Zhao Su said in a daze, "With father and mother, I can give birth."

Zhao Qingyan caressed his hair and asked, "Are you angry at Seventh Uncle?"

Zhao Su nodded, "I know I was messing around and disturbed others, but Seventh Uncle shouldn't have bullied me."

Zhao Qingyan said, "It's good that you know it. Seventh Uncle is apologizing to you. Today, Seventh Uncle did something wrong, so he shouldn't have bullied you. But next time, don't disturb people's rest and have tea, okay? "

Zhao Su hesitated for a moment before asking, "If that's the case, will Seventh Uncle not bully me?"

Zhao Qingyan nodded and said, "Yes, you be good and Seventh Uncle won't bully you." Moreover, when Seventh Uncle returns to the Mansion of the King, he will bring you delicious and fun things. "

Zhao Su's eyes were bright as she asked, "What's fun?"

Zhao Qingyan said, "I can carve all sorts of things out of wood. I can carve small horses, birds and rabbits, and I can also make paper and grass. If you don't like it, I can sew a cloth for you. Do you remember that carp that Seventh Uncle made for you a few years ago? This time it's even more beautiful than last time, and no one else will have it. " Seeing the look of longing on his face, he quickly followed up, "As long as you behave, Seventh Uncle will give it to you. What do you think?"

Zhao Su nodded her head heavily, "Un! Seventh Uncle will make me an eagle. "So big!" Extend your arms wide.

Zhao Qingyan smiled and said, "Alright, then that's it. "It's a deal, Seventh Uncle will do it well and send it to you next month. You have to be good and do it, or else you won't be able to make me angry."

Zhao Su shook her head, "That won't happen. I won't make Seventh Uncle angry again."

Zhao Qingyan rubbed his hair and stood up with a smile. "Second Brother, I will be returning to the King's Manor then."

Zhao Baiyi asked, "Will you ride or walk? Why don't we go together? I happen to have something to talk to Fourth Uncle about. "

Zhao Qingyan said, "Then let's walk back together." He retrieved a handkerchief from his robes and placed it on the table. "Give him some water. Don't get him cold."

Zhao Baiyi got Shuxi to carry Zhao Su back, and then walked with Zhao Qingyan out. "How did you know that I was walking over here?"

Zhao Qingyan said carelessly, "There are a lot of people on the road today. You won't know how to ride a horse unless it's urgent." He clapped his hands to make sure he was able to keep up, and without reaching out to hold onto the reins, he turned his head to look at Zhao Baiyi, "How is it? Are you angry? "

Zhao Baiyi laughed. "Angry? You're the only one who can cure his mischievous and tearful personality. I'm so happy that I can't make it in time. At most, they would feel heartache when they see him cry. "

Zhao Qingyan smiled, "Ninth Uncle used to care a lot about you. He always talked about the etiquette of being the son of the Crown Prince, but now he loves this grandson of his so much."

Zhao Baiyi threw up his hands, "We can't be blamed for disappointing him. After all these years, there's only one boy who can do it. and I finally have a seedling, and I can't blame my royal father for his pain. "

Zhao Qingyan smiled and said, "They're still so young, but they're already sighing. There's still plenty of opportunities in the future."

Zhao Baiyi said, "Stop talking about me, are you still going to drag it out and refuse to marry?"

Zhao Qingyan remained silent for a while. "I won't drag it out, I can't drag it out any longer either. She should have a choice. If she still wants to marry me, then so be it. "

Zhao Baiyi knew he wasn't willing to talk about it, so he didn't continue the topic. Instead, he asked, "Why are you in a bad mood? Thirteenth Uncle has returned victorious. His Majesty specially arranged a banquet to celebrate, but you didn't come back. "

Only now did Zhao Qingyan remember. He hurriedly asked, "How is my secret envoy?"

Hearing him ask that, Zhao Baiyi frowned, "You guys really can do it, didn't you guys want to show it to the officials? But tell me, you scared me to death. Father was also right. He even scolded me at that time, telling me not to say anything more. I thought what happened. "

Zhao Qingyan knew that no one told him the truth, so he pretended to not care and smiled, "It's better to avoid trouble. It's not good for us to drag you into this for no reason at all. Who would have thought you'd be so frightened? "

Zhao Baiyi let out a loud humph, "Who would have thought this? Why wasn't he scared? You were crazy and you were spitting blood, and when I went back, that group of people were still talking about crippling your prince. I went to ask His Majesty, then I asked my father, and I almost had a quarrel with him. If I really get into an argument with my royal father, you will definitely make me unfilial! "

Zhao Qingyan stopped and looked at him in a daze. After being brothers for twenty years, he knew his cousin's personality very well. If Zhao Baiyi had said that, he would have done it for real. Although it was just a few complaints, the concern in it was real.

Zhao Baiyi saw him looking at him like that, and knew he had talked too much, so he quickly said, "I was just complaining casually, don't take it to heart. "I …"

"Second brother." Zhao Qingyan interrupted him and bowed deeply. "My apologies." With these two words, he performed a grand bow. It was common for people to hurt each other when they were playing around and growing up. However, it was the first time they had to apologize with such an attitude. Not because of alienation, but because of true guilt.

Zhao Baiyi hurriedly helped him up, and awkwardly touched his nose. "Don't, you made me feel really uncomfortable this time. It's only natural for me to worry about you after what has happened to you, right? You're so polite, if I need your help in the future, how can I even open my mouth? "

Zhao Qingyan smiled bitterly and said, "One yard, one yard."

Zhao Baiyi said, "It's all the same. I've heard about the people from the Qilin Pavilion. Those people who want to curry favor with you all wish they could stay as far away from you as possible. People were always like this, it was impossible to get rid of the benefits. But I'm your brother, how can I alienate you just because you're wrong or right? What am I afraid of? Are you afraid of implicating yourself? Other than being scolded by my old man for being reckless, what else would happen? "

Zhao Qingyan thought about how the King Xin was scolding him and could not help but laugh. "That makes sense."

Zhao Baiyi took out his hair and could understand why he was laughing. He snappily said, "Look at how regretful you were just now. You started teasing me in the blink of an eye."

Zhao Qingyan pursed his lips and smiled, "It's a misunderstanding. I'm not making fun of you. I'm just trying to live up to your good intentions of coaxing me into a happy mood."

"I don't believe a word you say." Zhao Baiyi's face was full of disdain.

When Zhao Qingyan saw the expression on Zhao Baiyi's face, the unhappiness in his heart was completely forgotten. "Did you come looking for me after seeing Father?"

Zhao Baiyi raised his chin and said, "If you let me eat dinner, then I'll go and find you for no reason."

Zhao Qingyan smiled and said, "Then I'll have the kitchen take your share."

Looking at the color of the sky, Zhao Baiyi nodded and said, "Then I won't be polite. There's still one more hour until dinner time. It should be enough time for me and Fourth Uncle to finish talking."

Zhao Qingyan did not ask him why he was looking for his father. He just nodded his head to indicate that he understood, "I will be in the study room. If you are looking for me, I will instruct the kitchen to serve the dishes." Second Brother should go find Royal Father. "

After entering the main door, Zhao Qingyan headed towards his study, while Zhao Baiyi went straight to the main hall. Usually, Zhao Baiyi would enter and leave the Qi King's Manor frequently, so the servants and guards inside naturally would not stop him.
