"This King does not know when Third Prince also likes to enter the palace with This King?" Jing Tian'ao said coldly, maintaining his usual disregard for Jing Yushan, never treating him as Third Brother. In the harem of the Vast Continent, Jing Tian'ao has always had no one in his eyes except for the Vast Emperor.
Jing Yushan snorted coldly, showing no good attitude towards Jing Tian'ao, and quietly said, "Perhaps Fourth Brother is unaware of many things, such as why Huxin Sister has given up on Fourth Brother. For example, who is Huxin Sister currently thinking about? Hehe..."
Jing Yushan's voice was consistently warm and gentle, but at this moment, his expression revealed a hint of gloomy strangeness, completely unlike his usual graceful and gentle demeanor.
At this moment, the name Xia Huxin was naturally something that could not be mentioned to Jing Tian'ao. By saying this, Jing Yushan intended to deliberately provoke Jing Tian'ao, hoping to embarrass him in public. Even if Jing Tian'ao did not take the bait, Jing Yushan had already grasped his weakness. He would not suffer any loss.
"Third Prince speaks biasedly. Xia Huxin has been misled by petty people to have many misunderstandings about This King. I believe that given time, Huxin Sister will surely resolve all misunderstandings in her heart. Moreover, this is a matter between This King and Huxin Sister, and there is no need for Third Prince to say more! Before entering the palace, I still have to visit the Military Affairs Office. The important military matters entrusted by Father Emperor have yet to be completed. Unlike you, Third Prince, who enjoys a leisurely life with nothing to do all day long, even if you receive orders from Father Emperor, they are merely errands. Any task entrusted by Father Emperor that I bring up could shake this capital. Such important matters—how could you, who are accustomed to running errands, understand? Hmph!"
After finishing his words, Jing Tian'ao turned and left. Jing Yushan looked at his departing figure; one hand seemed casually placed behind him but was already tightly clenched into a fist, the back of his hand turning pale and veins bulging.
Meanwhile, hiding behind the Stone Lion, both Xia Jinzhi and standing in the middle of the street Liang Huiting gazed blankly at the retreating figure of Jing Tian'ao, remaining in place for a long time.
...
In the courtyard of the Xia Family, belonging to Xia Yingba.
Huxin looked at the shadow faintly visible behind the pearl curtain and couldn't help but roll her eyes heavily. She spoke to the unmoving Yao Tai standing in front of the pearl curtain,
"Isn't your general supposed to keep a low profile even during meals? Why hide behind the pearl curtain to eat alone? How will you teach me music, chess, calligraphy, and painting in the future? Didn't you say you would be my master? If you don't even let your disciple see your face during meals, how can you set an example as a teacher? Outsiders know that your master is a meritorious general guarding the Border Defense for fifteen years; those who don't know might think he is an unattractive old maid who can't get married! Ah! My head!"
As soon as Huxin finished speaking, she received a hard knock on the back of her head; Xia Yingba lifted his chopsticks and tapped her on the back of her head.
Huxin rubbed the back of her head, pouted, and shot Xia Yingba a glare, their eyes clashing fiercely in the air. With no one around on the street, Huxin's once flamboyant personality, which had rivaled Xuan Yuan Ling in modern times, gradually began to show.
The message conveyed by Huxin's gaze to Xia Yingba was clear:
"Since ancient times, the back of the head is not a place that can be casually struck! A bad hit could cost someone their life! Are you still my biological father?!"
Xia Yingba shot a cold glare back at Huxin, then opened his mouth to speak loudly, "You ungrateful fool, what are you staring at me for? If I'm not your biological father, then who is your real father! If I had known you would turn out like this, I should have abandoned you on a desolate mountain when you were born, letting you fend for yourself among the wild! The only thing you've done since staying here is to annoy me!"
"My lord, you can't say that. The young lady is your and madam's lifeblood. When the madam was alive, she loved the young lady the most, and so did you. Everything the young lady ate, wore, and used was the best. Even the Nanhai Zhenjing, which is passed down to sons but not daughters in the Xia Family, you passed on to her early on without a word about the Three Young Masters. Your kindness towards her has not gone unnoticed by me," Butler Gu said as he entered with Xia Yingba's wine jug, feeling compelled to add a few words upon hearing Xia Yingba's remarks.
Upon hearing the words Nanhai Zhenjing, Huxin couldn't help but pause, blinking her eyes as a flicker of unknown light flashed in her gaze.
