Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

Yu'er knelt there pitifully, crying and saying, "Yu'er is here to look for Brother Chen Yi, please forgive me, Princess."

Xiao Qing was so angry that she wanted to rush up and slap her.

Brother Chen Yi? Is she allowed to call him the prince by his name?

what!

Yun Xi held onto the excited Xiao Qing and looked at her in confusion: "How did you get into the palace?"

What Yun Xi wants to figure out now is whether someone let her in on purpose, or whether she sent it secretly.

If someone let her in on purpose, did they get Xiao Chenyi's consent? Xiao Chenyi never mentioned this person to her. Did he hide it from her or did he forget?

If she sneaked in on her own, it would be the housekeeper's negligence and she should be punished.

The girl who called herself Xiaoyu burst into tears: "If you don't like it, Princess, then Xiaoyu will not come to the mansion to see Brother Chenyi next time!"

Yun Xi was a little unhappy.

This girl is young, but she is very scheming. She wants to prove from her words that she and Xiao Chenyi have a special relationship.

If she was a jealous person, she would definitely have fallen out with Xiao Chenyi.

"Your Highness, can you please explain it?" Yun Xi looked at Xiao Chenyi who was standing at the door.

Xiao Chenyi smiled at her flatteringly, walked over to her, leaned over and whispered: "Xiaoyu is the sister of my old subordinate. His brother died in the war, leaving behind a wife and two children. I asked Xiaoyu to come to the mansion every month to collect money so that she can take care of the family of my old subordinate."

Yun Xi knew that Xiao Chenyi had always been very good to his subordinates.

He would do his best to take care of those who died or were injured.

The grudge in her heart was slightly relieved, and she looked up at Xiao Chenyi: "How long have you been taking care of me?"

"It's been a few years." Xiao Chenyi reached out to touch her head in a flattering manner, but Yun Xi dodged him.

"Has Xiaoyu always come to the mansion to get the money?" There are so many old subordinates, and they all come to get the money on their own? How come she has never encountered this before?

"It has always been arranged by the housekeeper. I rarely come into contact with him. This time Xiaoyu came to see me, maybe there is something else."

After saying that, Xiao Chenyi looked at Xiaoyu who was still kneeling on the ground: "Get up, what does it mean to kneel like that? The princess didn't blame you."

"Brother Chenyi, Xiaoyu is worried that the princess may have some ideas..." Xiaoyu bit her red lips lightly and looked at Yunxi timidly, as if she was bullied by her.

Xiao Qing was so angry that she stepped forward and said, "Who are you pretending for? The princess has some ideas? Did you hear them? Even if the princess has some ideas, it's none of your business!"

"Brother Chenyi..." Xiaoyu's eyes turned red again, "Did Xiaoyu do something wrong? Why is this sister scolding me like this?"

"Your name is Xiaoyu?" Pu Yong, who had been watching silently beside Xiao Chenyi, walked out.

"Yes." Xiaoyu saw Pu Yong, who was naturally majestic, looked at Xiao Chenyi timidly, and walked a few steps towards Xiao Chenyi, as if seeking his protection.

"You should call him Prince. Chen Yi's name is not something you common people can call him." Pu Yong said expressionlessly.

"Also, you look like you're being bullied. Who are you doing this for? Did I bully you? Or did the princess bully you? You've been living out there, you can't have never heard a harsh word, right? You keep crying every time? What problem can that solve?" Pu Yong scolded mercilessly.

"The princess is here, and you're acting like you have a vague relationship with the prince. She could just beat you to death with a stick and no one would say she's wrong!"

Pu Yong was a man who had not rested all night. His beard had grown a lot and he looked a little gloomy.

Xiaoyu subconsciously felt scared and wanted to hide next to Xiao Chenyi, but Pu Yong reached out and grabbed her sleeve, pulling her away with disgust.

"Don't you know how to avoid suspicion? You are not young anymore, right? You should know that men and women should not touch each other, right? Hurry up, stay away from the prince! If you have anything to say, stand over there and talk!"

Pu Yong unceremoniously pulled Xiaoyu to a distance of twenty or thirty steps away from Xiao Chenyi.

Yun Xi couldn't help but curl her lips: This Uncle Pu is worth getting along with!

Xiaoyu burst into tears instantly, and wanted to rush to Xiao Chenyi again: "Brother Chenyi..."

"Are you deaf? Or do you not understand what people say?" Pu Yong waved his hand, creating a gust of wind and interrupting Xiaoyu's crying.

He looked at Xiaoyu coldly and said sternly, "That's the prince. If you keep shouting without regard for the hierarchy, don't blame me for having someone kick you out!"

Xiaoyu's crying voice got stuck in her throat and she started to hiccup.

The hiccups were so intense that Xiaoyu couldn't control them at all. Her face turned red with embarrassment.

Xiaoqing couldn't help laughing out loud.

Xiaoyu's eyes turned red with anxiety, and she looked at Xiao Chenyi aggrievedly: "Wang... Er... Master... Er..."

Xiao Chenyi couldn't help but twitch his lips. Just as he was about to speak, he was scolded by Pu Yong.

"She doesn't know respect and inferiority, can't you let someone teach her a lesson? As a prince, how can you ignore etiquette?"

Xiao Chenyi quickly nodded and admitted his mistake: "Yes, you are right to teach me a lesson."

Xiaoyu has always called him Brother Chenyi. She used to call him that when her brother was alive. At that time, they were all fighting on the border. The people over there were basically very rough and no one cared about trivial matters.

He didn't think too much about it and eventually got used to it.

After being reminded by Pu Yongyi, he also realized something was wrong.

He was unmarried before and his identity was unclear. He started out as a soldier. Xiaoyu called him brother but she didn't mind.

But later, he became a general, and if Xiaoyu knew etiquette, she should call him general.

Later, he got married and was crowned king, so Xiaoyu should call him Prince.

"You called me so affectionately, I thought you two were closer than me." Yun Xi sneered at the side and glanced at Xiao Chenyi.

Being called brother by a little girl, you must be very happy and proud, right?

"Don't get me wrong. His brother had always followed me and we had a very close relationship. Later, he was killed in battle. Xiaoyu cried uncontrollably, and I was afraid that something might happen to her, so I brought his family to the capital and arranged for them to stay." Xiao Chenyi explained awkwardly.

Yun Xi was very displeased with his unclear behavior.

"Then when other subordinates died in battle, did their sisters come to you to cry?"

Xiao Chenyi touched his head awkwardly: "Not really."

"Hehe, except for Xiaoyu, is it possible that other people don't have deep feelings for their brother?"

"How is that possible?" Xiao Chenyi quickly explained, "My good brother's wife is in poor health and has a pair of young children. I agreed to let Xiaoyu come with them so that I could take care of them more easily."

"How did you take care of the other soldiers who died in the battle?" Yun Xi was a little curious.

"I arranged for the housekeeper to take care of it. The situations are divided into several categories. Basically, the families of every soldier who died in battle can receive a pension of one to two taels of silver every month." Xiao Chenyi explained.

This amount of money is enough for rural life. It is impossible to be rich, but enough to have food and clothing.
