The villain's pet apprentice sister is not to be trifled with

Prince Lin's Mansion, the former residence of Nangong Chiyang.

At this moment, Nangong Chiyang stood in front of the door with mixed feelings. He looked up at the plaque and did not go in immediately.

The Flame Nation has been passed down to the fifth generation of emperor by Nangong Yihui.

Historically, the eldest son born to the Empress of the Central Palace is the Crown Prince, and also the future heir to the throne. He enters the Eastern Palace and is taught by the Crown Prince's Tutor.

Nangong Chiyang is the eldest son born to the Queen. He was born with a fire-related companion stone. The Imperial Master even predicted that the eldest prince represents the destiny of the Lieyan Kingdom.

Everyone believed that he would be the most favored one and would be the future crown prince.

However, the much-anticipated eldest prince, Nangong Chiyang, was not given the title of crown prince. Shortly after he was born, he was thrown out of the palace by his father and was given the title of Prince Lin and the Prince Lin's Palace.

What is even more surprising is that Nangong Chiyang is not loved by his mother. From birth to adulthood, he has been accompanied by palace maids and wet nurses. The queen has never even looked at this prince.

Si Qingyu finished eating the last grape on the fruit plate, poked his head out of the carriage and asked, "Big Brother, why don't you come in?"

Hearing his junior sister's voice, Nangong Chiyang immediately came back to his senses and no longer indulged in the past.

He shouldn't have let his junior sister stay with him at the door, starving. She should have a good rest.

So, Nangong Chiyang and Si Qingyu pushed open the door of Prince Lin's Mansion.

The imperial guards were guarding diligently at the front and back gates of Prince Lin's mansion, and were spread out in all the courtyards.

Soon, the housekeeper, the cook, and the maids also followed in their carriages. The carriage was not too extravagant, but it was equipped with everything that was necessary.

Nangong Chiyang noticed that the butler was the same butler Li who served him when he was in the mortal world.

Nangong Chiyang sent the people who were assigned to serve him to other places. He took Si Qingyu into the main hall with a familiar manner and said to Si Qingyu, "Sit anywhere you like."

Si Qingyu found a chair at random and sat cross-legged on it.

"Senior Brother, you don't seem to like this big house. Why?" Si Qingyu asked.

"'Lin' represents extreme cold, and the Fiery Nation reveres fire." Nangong Chiyang's voice was very low, and only Si Qingyu could hear it clearly. "When I was a child, I heard many people say that this mansion was the cold palace where my father had banished me."

Si Qingyu asked, "Did you see any difference between Prince Lin's Mansion and before?"

Nangong Chiyang shook his head and sighed, "No.

Perhaps my father thinks this is an ominous place and doesn’t want other royal relatives and nobles to stay here.”

Si Qingyu stretched out his hand and casually wiped the table, but there was no dust.

She said, "I don't think so. If it is really an ominous place as you said, why would they send people to clean it every day? It looks like they are deliberately doing it to preserve precious memories."

Nangong Chiyang looked at the painting hanging in the main hall. It depicted a plum tree standing alone in the wind in the dead of winter. In the middle of the painting, there was a long sword scar.

Over the years, the mark has turned yellow and become more obvious, just like the pain in his heart.

That was the painting he was most proud of when he was young.

The teacher said, "The plum blossoms bloom proudly in the snow, and my father's birthday is in the cold winter, so giving this painting to my father symbolizes perseverance and vitality."

He did as he was told and gave it to his father on that day.

The painting was denounced by his father as unlucky, so he cut it in half with a sword and threw it at him.

That time, he also cut his hand with the sword, and he never painted again since then.

He has since hung this painting in the main hall, looking at it every day to remind himself not to bring hardship upon himself and to pray for warmth that does not belong to him.

There was a rare hint of sarcasm in his tone, "My father, the emperor, values ​​his reputation very highly and has always been known as a benevolent and virtuous ruler.

Even for the rebels, he did not execute them, but only ordered them to be imprisoned and left to fend for themselves.”

Si Qingyu smiled and took out two small popsicles from the storage bag, handed one to Nangong Chiyang and ate one himself.

The brother and sister sat in a row and ate ice cream.

"Big Brother, is the ice cream delicious?" Si Qingyu asked.

Nangong Chiyang: "Yeah, delicious."

Si Qingyu said, "Big Brother, your country of Fiery Flame is too hot. It feels like it's scorching hot all day long, so I think we should eat ice cream. I ate it and thought it was delicious, so I will share it with you.

Because that’s what I think.”

Nangong Chiyang took a big bite and said, "Thank you, Junior Sister."

Si Qingyu: "Big Brother, do you know what I am talking about?"

Nangong Chiyang looked at the sky, then looked at the ice cream, "You said it's hot, ice cream is delicious."

Si Qingyu: “…”

Si Qingyu continued, "Big Brother, when I first came to Qingjing Peak, I always thought you were belligerent, so I made a lot of illusion arrays for you to train you.

You never told me you didn't like it, remember?"

Nangong Chiyang nodded.

Si Qingyu shrugged, apologetically, "But later I read what Master said to Master Uncle on the photo stone, and then I realized that you didn't like to go out and fight, you just wanted to repay a favor. Right?"

Nangong Chiyang nodded again.

"So, Big Brother, because you have never refused, expressed your unwillingness, or said you couldn't bear it, I have always given you what I thought you would need and what you should accept.

You, do you understand? "

Nangong Chiyang nodded, then shook his head, "Junior Sister, how about you elaborate on it?"

Si Qingyu turned around, raised his hand and touched Nangong Chiyang's head with a smile: "Big Brother, you are a very good person.

You have always been intelligent and strong-willed. Even if you are in the deepest abyss, you will not give up hope of survival and can survive many times.

You respect your master, care for your fellow junior brothers and sisters, hate evil, and are kind to the weak.

Have you ever thought about why you have such a personality?

The dragon gave birth to nine sons, each of which is different.

Oranges born in Huainan are oranges, while those born in Huaibei are oranges.

Perhaps your father used the wrong method, but his original intention was probably to train you to be a good person.

He was only surprised and had no doubts about your sudden appearance and your joining the immortal sect.

Have you ever wondered why? "

After Si Qingyu said so many words, it was obvious that the eldest senior brother’s brain capacity was insufficient and was about to short-circuit.

Coincidentally, Butler Li announced outside the courtyard that the Queen had sent a palace maid to deliver a gift and asked the eldest prince to come out and receive it in person.

Nangong Chiyang didn't want to go, but Si Qingyu said excitedly, "Let's go and take a look!"

When the brother and sister went to the front yard, they saw eunuchs carrying several food boxes and palace maids carrying several pieces of brocade.

The leading maid in charge had nothing in her hands and looked at Nangong Chiyang with a haughty attitude. She raised her eyelids and said, "Oh, he's really lucky, he really is the eldest prince!

Since you are not dead, the eldest prince can have a good rest in your cold palace!"

As for the girl standing next to the eldest prince, the maid in charge thought she was just a wild woman brought back by the eldest prince.

In the imperial city, this kind of stuff is not even considered a maid, so she naturally would not take that little bitch seriously.

Without waiting for Nangong Chiyang to speak, Si Qingyu asked, "Hey, the eldest prince is returning to the palace, why didn't the queen come?"

Upon hearing this, the maid in charge scolded, "Where did you come from, little bitch! How dare you ask about the Queen!

How can she, a woman of great wealth, come to such a lowly place casually!"

Si Qingyu: “…”

Seeing that Si Qingyu showed no fear at all, the head maid shouted, "Come on, slap me in the face!"

"Hey!" Si Qingyu agreed, took a step forward, grabbed the collar of the palace maid in charge, and slapped her twice.

"I've never heard anyone ask for this in my life! It doesn't matter, I'll satisfy you!"
