Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

In the afternoon dusk.

As Gu Chan gave away all the silver she had exchanged for the four boxes of gold notes, the crowd gathered outside the Dragon and Phoenix Tower finally dispersed.

Only then did Gu Chan feel tired and sat down at the table to rest.

"Clap clap clap..."

Soon after she sat down, the entire poetry hall erupted in deafening applause.

All the rich young men and women sitting in the poetry hall were impressed by her actions just now.

Gu Chan smiled, clasped her fists and said, "Thank you all for your support. Please take care of me in the future."

"Prince Chan, today I finally got to know you. I didn't expect you to be such a good prince!"

"Yes, Lord Chan's actions are truly admirable. Compared to you, I am simply ashamed."

"If Prince Chan needs any help in the future, just let us know. If we can help you, we will definitely do our best to help you."

Everyone praised it one after another.

Gu Chan stood up politely and returned the greetings one by one.

After that, she didn't want to stay here any longer, so she prepared to call Shen Yang to leave.

But just as the two of them reached the stairs, a guard came forward and blocked their way. He bowed to Gu Chan very respectfully and said, "Prince Chan, please wait. My master would like to invite you to have a chat. Please do me the honor."

"Your master?" Gu Chan asked.

"Yes, my master is the owner of Longfeng Tower. He has prepared a banquet in the front room and is waiting for you two to come over." said the guard.

Gu Chan lowered her head and thought for a while before saying, "Okay then! Let's go meet your host! We're here anyway."

"Prince Chan, please." The guard made a gesture of invitation.

Then he led the way, leading Gu Chan and the other person towards the room in front.

Soon the three of them arrived at the room at the end of the corridor. The guard pushed the door open, and Gu Chan and the other person stepped in.

After they entered the room, the guards closed the door and stood outside to guard it, not allowing anyone to enter and disturb them.

In the wing room.

At this time, a little boy about seven or eight years old was sitting at the table with a pout.

He was wearing a yellow robe and had a small bun on his head. His little face was round, fair and cute. The first time he saw Gu Chan, he stared at her straight, with a look of grievance in his eyes.

Gu Chan turned around and looked around, she was stunned.

Shen Yang quickly walked up to the little boy, knelt down and saluted, saying, "I am Shen Yang, the Chief of the Ministry of War, and I pay my respects to the Sixteenth Prince."

"No need to be polite, just stand up." The little boy waved his hand sweetly and said.

Gu Chan was stunned and asked, "What? He is the current sixteenth prince of Tiancang Kingdom?"

"Yes, second uncle, he is the sixteenth prince Xuanyuan Ming, who is only eight years old this year." Shen Yang stood up and said.

Gu Chan walked up to Xuanyuan Ming, stretched out her hands to grab his chubby little face, and said softly, "Little guy, where is the owner of Dragon and Phoenix Tower? Why are you here instead of staying in Wanhuang Garden?"

"Hmph! I am the owner of the Dragon and Phoenix Tower." Xuanyuan Ming snorted coldly.

After saying that, he waved his little hand and brushed away Gu Chan's hands that were pinching his face.

Gu Chan was surprised and said, "I can't believe it! You are so young, but you own such a big building."

"This was done for me by my third brother. He said that since I'm young, if I can't stay in the palace anymore, at least I'll have a place to stay if I get out." Xuanyuan Ming said with a pout.

Gu Chan nodded secretly after listening to this. She now understood that although the Third Prince Xuanyuan Feng was a smiling tiger, he was indeed a good person, otherwise he would not have considered his youngest brother so much.

Xuanyuan Ming said in a tearful voice, "You are ranked seventeenth, so you have to call me sixteenth brother."

"Bullshit! I'm older than you, okay? You little brat, how dare you ask me to call you brother." Gu Chan teased him deliberately.

"Hmph! You will be punished for being so unruly." Xuanyuan Ming said with his hands on his hips, like a smart boy.

"Ha ha……"

Gu Chan was immediately amused by his cute appearance and burst into laughter.

Shen Yang stood aside and quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Sixteenth Prince, my second uncle grew up in a mountain village and doesn't know the rules. Please don't be offended."

"If he calls me brother, I won't be angry with him." Xuanyuan Ming said stubbornly.

"By the way, aren't you imprisoned in Wanhuang Garden? Why did you come to Longfeng Tower today?" Shen Yang quickly changed the subject.

Xuanyuan Ming explained, "Brother Crown Prince said that I can come to Longfeng Tower once a month, so I came here last night. It will be dark soon, and I have to go back to Wanhuang Garden."

"Then why did you send someone to call me over?" Gu Chan asked.

"You haven't called me brother yet!" Xuanyuan Ming stared at Gu Chan and said.

As he said this, tears of grievance welled up in his big eyes.

When Gu Chan saw his cute appearance, her heart was almost melted by him! She could only go forward and coax him, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. According to the nominal order of the princes, I do have to call you brother, but according to age, you have to call me brother. Let's talk about our own affairs. Is that okay?"

"But Brother Nine said that I can't call you brother, I have to call you sister." Xuanyuan Ming said honestly.

Shen Yang couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.

Gu Chan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't listen to your ninth brother, he's talking nonsense. Listen to me. If you want to call me brother in the future, I will protect you and make sure no one dares to bully you."

"Brother." Xuanyuan Ming shouted without thinking.

Gu Chan laughed out loud. He really felt that this little guy changed his expression faster than turning the pages of a book! Just now he was still stubbornly asking Gu Chan to call him brother! Now he just admitted his weakness and gave in.

Xuanyuan Ming stretched out a pair of chubby little hands, held Gu Chan's hand tightly and said, "Brother, I don't want to stay in Wanhuang Garden, can you take me away? The prince doesn't dare to imprison you, so I can only beg you."

"What's wrong with you? Were you bullied in Wanhuang Garden?" Gu Chan stopped laughing and asked.

"Yeah! Fourteenth brother and fifteenth sister bullied me. They came to beat me every day. I didn't dare to see them. Every time I met them, I had to take a detour." Xuanyuan Ming said aggrievedly.

After saying that, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and threw himself into Gu Chan's arms and sobbed bitterly.

Gu Chan hugged him tightly and whispered in his ear, "Be good, don't cry. Since you called me brother, I must help you. Wait for me here. When I come back from meeting the Queen Mother, I will take you back to Wanhuang Garden and help you teach them a lesson."

"Okay! Let's make a promise that you won't lie to me." Xuanyuan Ming pushed away from Gu Chan's arms and stretched out his right little thumb.

Gu Chan wiped away the tears on his face before reaching out to shake his hand.

After making the cute little guy happy, she said goodbye to him and left Longfeng Tower with Shen Yang and went to the palace.
