Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue looked at each other and didn’t reply.
“This is the first time I’m here, and the Imperial Residence has yet to be completed.”
“Ninth brother is also in the Liu residence, so 1 thought…” Prince Anyang did not finish his sentence.
He looked at Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue, feeling a little annoyed.
Did these two people really not understand or were they pretending not to understand?
Since he had already said so much, couldn’t he stay in Daishi Village for the New Year?
Could these two people not tell that he, as a prince, was giving them a chance to befriend him?
“Oh, then why don’t Your Highness stay for a few days and celebrate the new year with us?” Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Li Xiao and said to Prince Anyang.
It wasn’t that she wanted to. Instead, if she didn’t agree, he wouldn’t be able to hold it in any longer.
Moreover, they really needed to be on good terms with Prince Anyang. After all, in the future, they would have to rely on him to survive.
Upon hearing Lin Xiaoyue’s words, a smile indeed appeared on Prince Anyang’s face.
“That’s good.” He continued.
“Cough, i just moved to Nan’an County and hasn’t settled down yet. Can you…” Liang Yu saw this and quickly looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
He actually didn’t want to come, but since His Highness was here, how could he not come?
After all, he had spent the New Year with his sister and brother-in-law in the past. There was no reason for this year to be an exception.
Lin Xiaoyue was stunned.
Then, she smiled. “Since Young Master Liang is willing to give us face, we will of course welcome you.”
Li Xiao couldn’t help but look at his wife.
He received a comforting look from Lin Xiaoyue.
Since he had already accepted one, one more was nothing.
Besides, they would have to set up a chain store next year. At that time, they might have to ask Ruyi Restaurant for help.
Liang Yu was a little embarrassed.
However, he had to pretend that he did not see it.
As Prince Anyang continued to chat, Lin Xiaoyue learned that before he left, he had instructed the Princess Consort of Anyang to set off for Daishi Village tomorrow.
Therefore, he had already made up his mind to come to their house for the new year.
“When I saw ninth brother just now, he’s changed a lot.” Suddenly, Prince Anyang mentioned Xiao Qing again.
“His body seems to be better than before, and he’s much calmer.”
“That’s right…he;s much more reserved towards me than before…” Speaking up to this point, Prince Anyang even smiled a little desolately.
Li Xiao’s eyes moved slightly.
“His identity is different now. Qing ‘er is a commoner now, so how could he dare to be impudent in front of His Highness?” He cupped his hands at Prince Anyang.
Prince Anyang glanced at Li Xiao.
“If you want to be an official, you can tell me at any time. As for the ninth brother, he has a high status. When the time is right, 1 will help him regain his status as a prince.” He said solemnly.
Li Xiao’s heart trembled.
“Thank you for your kindness, but Xiao Qing and I…”
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Prince Anyang.
“Your thoughts cannot represent his.”
As he spoke, Prince Anyang looked at the door.
“Go and invite the ninth royal brother over. His big brother is here, but that brat is still hiding.” As he spoke, he smiled.
“Yes!” A guard at the door immediately replied.
Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue looked at each other, their expressions somewhat solemn.
However, it was only for a moment before they relaxed.
After a while, the guard brought Xiao Qing in.
“Xiao Qing greets Your Highness!” After entering, Xiao Qing immediately bowed to Prince Anyang.
Prince Anyang frowned.
“In front of me, you may use your original surname.” He said.
He knew that his brother had concealed his identity and changed his surname.
He did not expect him to be so calm and call himself that in front of him.
Xiao Qing looked up at Prince Anyang and quickly lowered his head.
“Your Highness, you’re too kind. Ever since the day the Great General’s Mansion was massacred, the Murong Qing is gone. Now, there is only Xiao Qing in this world.”
Prince Anyang frowned again.
Just as he was about to say something, Xiao Qing looked up at him again.
“If Your Highness really cares about me, then let Murong Qing disappear completely.” He said with a pleading tone.
That shocked Prince Anyang.
He was the First Prince of Great Yan, and he had many brothers and sisters.
However, the older princes had always been fighting with him for the position of Crown Prince.
He rarely came into contact with the younger ones.
Therefore, he did not have much affection for his royal brothers and sisters..
