When Xiao Guang returned home drunk, it was already late at night.
The boy beside Aunt Xu had been standing guard at the door. When he saw him coming back, he immediately came to greet him.
He whispered in Xiao Guang's ear and told him that the Marquis was angry because Xiao Hu didn't read well, and reminded him not to step on what made the Marquis angry today.
Xiao Guang nodded, "I understand, go down!"
When the young man saw that the young master really understood, he immediately nodded and left.
After the boy beside Aunt Xu left, the boy beside Xiao Hu came slowly.
"Your Majesty, the servants said that you are back, and the Marquis asked you to go to his room."
"I understand, let's go now!" Xiao Guang nodded.
While following the boy, he shook his body several times and patted his clothes.
He had been drinking outside all night, and knowing that his father didn't like drunk people, he took the time to dissipate the smell of alcohol from his body.
However, all he did was in vain, because as soon as he stepped into his father's study, his father immediately smelled the smell of alcohol.
He wrinkled his nose in disgust, "You've been...drinking a lot lately!"
Xiao Hu was born in the military. Although he has not led soldiers in wars for many years, some deep-rooted habits have never changed.
For example, drinking alcohol.
Except for necessary and important social events, Xiao Hu never drinks alcohol at all other times.
It is precisely because of this habit that he is very dissatisfied with his son's recent frequent drinking.
"Father, there is really no other way. As you know, the Sixth Prince has been pestering our Xiao family more and more recently. He keeps asking for me every day. I really have to drink."
Xiao Hu's face was gloomy, "The sixth prince is the same, he is really haunted."
"Dad, after all, the important matter has not been settled yet. It would be premature for you to say such things, so I think we and the Sixth Prince should each leave a way out."
Seeing Xiao Hu's disapproval, Xiao Guang continued to give an example, "Dad, you also know that things in the DPRK are always changing rapidly, so we have to leave a way out."
"Okay," Xiao Hu said, "Dad is old, and sooner or later this family will have to make the decision for you. Now that you have just gained some fame in the court, go for whatever you think is right!"
Xiao Hu calmed down all his anger.
The main reason why he was angry at his second son was because he was unhappy with his eldest son when he saw him today.
Although one son stopped making progress due to being hit, he still had another son.
"You have been weak since you were young, so don't overwork yourself."
"Dad," Xiao Guang said, "my body happened when I was a child. I have already recovered..."
"Really?" Xiao Hu nodded perfunctorily, "You're fine, that's fine."
He had long forgotten what the two children looked like when they were children.
"Dad, you don't have to worry about me. I will handle the affairs in the court and take care of the family." Xiao Guang assured Xiao Hu.
"Okay, okay..." Xiao Hu said, "With your promise, dad can rest assured."
After leaving his father's study, Xiao Guang's expression became even more ugly.
After his eldest brother came back from serious injury, his father went to the emperor to ask for the position of heir apparent.
In the eyes of outsiders, he received great grace, but in his eyes, this was an invisible shackles.
He was a concubine and became the prince of the Hou family, which was a rare thing in the capital.
Although in the eyes of his mother, he was on a higher level and would definitely be loved by the aristocratic families in the capital, in reality Xiao Guang knew that he could not hold his head high among the children of the aristocratic families.
Xiao Guang had to find other ways to recognize himself.
When he returned to the yard, he saw his newly married wife coming up to him immediately.
"Your Majesty, where did you get so drunk? Come on, I'll help you change clothes and take a shower..."
Xiao Guang threw her hand away and said, "I don't need you to help me, I can walk by myself!"
The Crown Princess froze on the spot, "Your Majesty, what happened to you today? You have never treated me like this before!"
"What to do to you?"
Xiao Guang said unsteadily, "I asked your family to marry me before, but your parents and you never took me seriously."
"Now that I am the heir, you can come over and get married!"
"Xiao Guang, why did you say such a thing? You and I were in love with each other at the time. Although my parents never agreed because of your status as a bastard, I still love you..."
"You are all hypocritical to me!"
Xiao Guang interrupted her, "You don't have to lie here with your eyes open. I've seen you secretly give my eldest brother his wallet."
"Xiao Guang...what are you talking about?" The imperial concubine was a little stunned and at a loss.
Her heart is empty.
It's good that their family is a noble family, but that doesn't mean they have to be noble.
She admitted that it was a bit reckless to listen to her parents and try to please Xiao Lei.
She doesn't deny this.
However, her heart was always towards Xiao Guang.
God knows how happy she was when she learned that Xiao Guang had inherited the throne!
She thought that this time the lovers finally got married.
She thought that Xiao Guang would be as happy as she was after getting married.
She never expected that less than half a month after getting married, Xiao Guang not only never came to her room, but even got drunk every night and came home late.
Today, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and stood in the yard, waiting for him to come back.
"Your Majesty, listen to me. In the past, I gave the eldest son his purse, but that has passed. I am your wife now."
"We are all married now, this matter should be a thing of the past!"
Xiao Guang said coldly, "How to get there? The person I once thought about deeply wants to be engaged to my eldest brother for the sake of family glory and rich future..."
"As a result, my eldest brother came back from the battlefield and lost his voice and his position as heir apparent. So you will marry me again."
"The Lu family has really made a good plan!"
"Xiao Guang, you also said that it is the Lu family, not me. I have loved you from the beginning to the end." The Crown Princess tried to explain.
"Your actions warned me not to believe anything you say!"
"The person you want to marry is the prince, not me or my eldest brother. In the final analysis, we are just tools that you can use."
Hearing what Xiao Guang said, the imperial concubine's face turned pale. He would never be able to cross this threshold.
After the argument, Xiao Guang, who was drunk, did not go back to the room at all, but turned around and left.
"Where are you going in the middle of the night?" The imperial concubine stepped forward to hold Xiao Guang.
Xiao Guang threw her hand away and said, "I am free to go wherever I want and it has nothing to do with you!"
After that, he left the courtyard without looking back.
He didn't care that the Crown Princess was thrown to the ground with such force that she broke her elbow.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night and I'm drunk again. I can't wander around. It's better to go back and rest as soon as possible!" the boy who followed Xiao Guang persuaded.
Xiao Guang ignored him and went straight to Xiao Lei's courtyard.
He knocked on Xiao Lei's door, "Brother, wake up, wake up!"
