"Tianxiang, don't scare people." The emperor chuckled and said half-truthfully, "We have to get along with each other every day in the future, so we can't be willful."
Princess Tianxiang heard the warning in her father's words and reluctantly restrained her attitude, but her expression remained mocking and disdainful.
"One of you two will become my princess's consort one day, right?" Princess Tianxiang tried hard to control the thought in her heart that she wanted to kill these two people with a knife. If her father allowed it now, she would definitely kill these two people in front of her.
The idiot was cut to pieces by a thousand cuts!
Xuan Jinxiu and Xuan Jincheng nodded in confusion, looked at each other, and then lowered their heads at the same time.
"You two are really worthy of being twin brothers, even in this way you are so similar!" Princess Tianxiang snorted softly, "Well, tell me, who of you two wants to be the consort more?!"
Tong Xiaoye almost laughed out loud and immediately covered her mouth gently with her hand.
Xuan Jincheng happened to see it, and immediately smiled secretly at her. Just as he was about to express his affection, he felt an indifferent gaze passing through him like a knife, sending a chill down his spine. He turned his head and saw Xuan Jinmo
She was looking at him indifferently, and her gaze made him look away immediately.
Princess Tianxiang also caught Xuan Jincheng's gaze at a glance. She raised her face and said in a louder voice: "Stop making useless ideas. When I, the princess, ask you questions, don't cast your eyes on others and make dirty and shameless remarks."
Thoughts, that girl is already married, so give up!"
Sweat dripped from Xuan Jincheng's forehead. He was a twenty-three-year-old man after all. He couldn't help but feel disgust in his heart, thinking that he would never marry such a mean woman!
Xuan Qingmu, who was on the side, immediately blushed and explained: "Princess, don't get me wrong, Weichen and the two dogs have met Miss Xiaoye before. They probably remembered that Miss Xiaoye is the niece of Mrs. Weichen, so Jincheng was a little rude. They just died.
When I came back from the border, I didn't know about the engagement between Xiaoye and Jinmo, so please forgive me, princess."
Princess Tianxiang snorted softly and said deliberately: "Xuan Jincheng, do you hear clearly? This girl Tong Xiaoye is the future wife of your brother Xuan Jinmo. Isn't it sad?"
Xuan Jincheng really wanted to find a hole to crawl in directly, or find something to plug Princess Tianxiang's mouth. This princess was really scary and shrewd, but he would never marry her. She was also the second young master of the Xuan family, and she could live without food and clothing.
Worry for a lifetime.
If you marry such a tough guy, you won't be able to live a peaceful life in this life. It's scary to think about it.
Thinking about it this way, I felt even more horrified. I even forgot about the fact that Tong Xiaoye in front of me was already married to a famous woman. I just thought that Princess Tianxiang must not choose herself as the consort.
He still wants to drink with beauties and stay in bed all night long. Forget it, please spare him!
"Have you thought about it?" Princess Tianxiang suddenly asked again, "Who wants to be the consort?"
"Him!" Xuan Jincheng pointed at his brother and said with a smile, "My brother has always admired the princess, and even asked someone to paint a portrait to relieve the pain of lovesickness. I am not worthy of the princess because of my stupid talents.
Beautiful and smart person."
"Presumptuous!" Princess Tianxiang's face sank, "How can you make the decision regarding this princess?! And you! You are so courageous that you dare to steal the portrait of the picture book princess. Come on! Pull him out and punish forty with a stick. You are like this!
Insult the honor of this princess! Cut off the hands of the person who painted the image!"
Xuan Jincheng stared at Princess Tianxiang with his mouth open, and stammered: "Princess, princess, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, I just said casually, uh, -"
"And you, you are so self-righteous in making decisions for me. Why? Do you think that this princess is not as popular as Tong Xiaoye, so you are deliberately pushing back and forth like this?! Likewise, drag me down and punish me with forty sticks!" Tian Xiang
The princess said bitterly.
She was really angry, Tong Xiaoye thought, it would be better for her to keep her mouth shut, because who knows who Princess Tianxiang will be angry with next.
Xuan Jinxiu, who had been silent for a long time, also looked at it in astonishment. What was going on? Okay, why did she and her brother have to punish Forty together? Why is Princess Tianxiang so unreasonable?! No wonder her brother made such an anxious statement.
Don't be a prince-in-law.
Xuan Qingmu immediately scolded in a low voice: "You have no right to speak here. Go and receive the punishment immediately. Princess Tianxiang's matter is decided by the emperor. Not giving you the death penalty is already a gift!"
Xuan Jinxiu and Xuan Jincheng looked at each other with helpless expressions on their faces.
The emperor looked at the two people who were helpless and said slowly: "That's all, working hard at the border, these forty sticks are too much. However, it is really inappropriate to draw a portrait of the princess privately, although it is only for use.
I admire you, but it is extremely disrespectful. As for what I just said, it was just what my neighbor said in a moment of nervousness, so you don’t need to take it seriously. Let’s do this, each of you will receive four strokes of the cane.”
Xuan Qingmu glared at Xuan Jinxiu and Xuan Jincheng. Seeing that they were still in a daze, Xuan Qingmu immediately scolded them and said, "Why don't you thank me quickly?"
Xuan Jinxiu and Xuan Jincheng expressed their gratitude with a sad face, and followed the eunuch down to receive the punishment with miserable expressions on their faces.
Qiu Xinyu felt distressed, but she didn't dare to show it, feeling like she was sitting there on pins and needles.
Four strokes of the stick didn't sound like too much, but the Xuan brothers, who had always been popular at the border, couldn't stand it. When the stick fell, their buttocks immediately felt as hot as fire, even though they knew they couldn't do it in front of them.
The torturer cried out in pain, but when it really hurt, he couldn't care less. Xuan Jinxiu gritted his teeth and held on, but Xuan Jincheng didn't care about his face and kept moaning.
Xing Bi, as the others came back, was already limping. Xuan Qingmu's face turned red, and he saw a flash of ridicule and disdain on the emperor's face.
"Why are you two brothers so pitiful?" Xuan Qingmu immediately rebuked loudly, "It's just a four-stroke scolding. The emperor has already shown mercy. Is it possible that it will be more difficult than fighting at the border!"
Xuan Jincheng said with a bitter face: "Dad, it really hurts!"
Princess Tianxiang didn't get angry but smiled. She stared at Xuan Jincheng and said sarcastically: "Do you think it's so easy to be a consort? If you want to marry the daughter of the most powerful man in the world and have a bright future, you can't bear this hardship.
, don’t think about anything else!”
Xuan Jincheng said in his heart: Even if you kill me, I will not marry a bitch like you!
Xuan Jinxiu slowly sat down on the chair. As soon as his butt hit the chair, he almost jumped up in pain. Just as he was about to move, Xuan Qingmu glared at him and grabbed Xuan Jincheng who was jumping up.
He scolded in a low voice: "Don't be rude!"
Xuan Jinxiu and Xuan Jincheng gritted their teeth and sat on the chairs. Facing the table full of delicacies, they couldn't even take a bite. They wished they could finish eating and leave earlier.
The emperor sighed in his heart, the two brothers were indeed in trouble, but they could not change their words, so they could only wrong their daughter.
