Chapter 18 Showing Talent

Xiao Lingxiao had played with Xiao Fengming before and knew that he was extraordinary, but he didn't expect that his eldest brother was also a master. But compared with Xiao Ranjun, Xiao Fengming's unwillingness seems to be a little more. He came to Xiao Lingxiao, suppressed his anger, and said in a low voice, "I will be more careful next time."

Xiao Lingxiao jumped out of the carriage and patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Isn't I all right?" Don't care." After saying that, she looked up at the direction of the ridge in the distance. The two people just cared about being angry and killing people, but they didn't leave a living mouth. But it's not a big deal. The three of them know who they are behind their backs. Xiao Lingxiao smiled coldly and thought to himself, Madam, Madam, do you think I, Xiao Lingxiao, will be killed by you so easily? If I'm not dead this time, you will have bad luck!

Xiao Lingxiao called Bao Ronger and ordered a few words in a low voice. Bao Ronger snickered when she heard the words, nodded and dodged away.

Xiao Lingxiao returned to the carriage, and Xiao Ranjun and Xiao Fengming drove the car. When they came to Princess Mingci's house, the banquet had already begun.

In the hall, the fourth prince sat next to the eldest princess, his face was full of joy, but his heart was restless. He heard that Xiao's carriage and horse encountered a collision with the people on the street, and Xiao Lingxiao's carriage disappeared. There is obviously something wrong with this matter, but the first lady of the Xiao family just said lightly that the eldest son and the third son had gone to look for it, and she didn't seem to care very much.

Today's eldest princess Mingci's birthday banquet, the fourth prince will be filial at the eldest princess's birthday banquet, so he can't leave at all.

The banquet began for a while, and Princess Mingci asked Qi, the eldest lady of the Xiao family, with a little worry, "I haven't heard from the carriage for so long. Why don't I send someone to have a look?"

Qi smiled and waved her hand, "Don't worry, the eldest princess. At the feet of the emperor, the country is prosperous and the people are safe. It's just that the carriages and horses have been scattered, and it won't be long before they arrive."

The fourth prince listened to this and couldn't help but move. He had long known that the eldest lady of the Xiao family was not good to Xiao Lingxiao, but he didn't expect that she didn't even bother to do it. If something really happened to Xiao Lingxiao, could she shirk her responsibility? Or... what did she arrange?

The fourth prince's heart sank when he thought of this, but before he could make a move, someone had come to him and whispered, "Miss Xiao and others have arrived."

The fourth prince was refreshed when he heard the words, and his eyes suddenly glowed that he had never noticed.

Xiao Lingxiao and the other two appeared, and everyone's eyes were immediately attracted. These three people have never appeared in front of people, but rumors about them have long spread.

Xiao Lingxiao, who came back from the dead, was actually beautiful and dignified. The peach-red gorgeous clothes reflected her pink and beautiful face, and her deep eyes were touching. No wonder the fourth prince was infatuated with her. Mr. Xiao, who has left the Xiao family for study since he was a child, has a regal heroism, which is indeed different from the princes of other rich families present. And the strangely born Mr. Xiao, although his eyes are as cold as frost, his handsome appearance is really so that people can't look away.

The three descendants of the Xiao family were amazed by everyone present.

Xiao Lingxiao came to the front of the main seat and stopped. He looked up and saw the great lady sitting next to Princess Mingci's face with incomparable surprise, and he couldn't help sneering secretly. Turning to find the hot eyes of the fourth prince, Xiao Lingxiao avoided his sight, and his heart was full of disgust.

At this time, Xiao Ranjun said, "Our brothers and sisters are celebrating their birthdays late. Please forgive the eldest princess."

Princess Mingci looked at them with a smile, and finally her eyes fell on Xiao Lingxiao. Take a closer look, this girl is really watery, but it is not the best to compare with these noble girls in the imperial city.

"I've heard about everything on the road. I don't blame you. Sit down quickly." After saying that, the maids around her led the three of them to sit in the seats of the men and women.

Xiao Lingxiao sat next to Xiao Huanyu and Xiao Huanxue according to the rules. The two obviously did not expect Xiao Lingxiao to appear, and they did not greet her with black faces.

Xiao Lingxiao didn't care about them. He looked up at the male guest seats opposite him. The seats near the main seat were all young men. At the beginning, Xuan told Xiao Lingxiao that several princes would come to celebrate the eldest princess's birthday. The sixth prince Li Jingxuan is on the list, so naturally he can't be wrong. Except for them, other people's seats are placed a little farther away.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone began to show their talents to celebrate the birthday of Princess Mingci. Whenever there is such a banquet, it is an opportunity for young men and women to find a good relationship, so almost all these ladies have shown their ability to look after the family, even Xiao Huanyu and Xiao Huanxue are no exception. The two identical beautiful piano and flute ensembles, combined with each other, and the cooperation is seamless, which makes people applaud.

When the two of them got off the stage, Princess Mingci on the main seat seemed to suddenly think of something and clapped her hands with a smile, "These two beautiful girls are still so painful. When they come up, is it the turn of the Xiao family? Come on, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family came to me for the first time. She must have prepared something. Come and show it to everyone.

When everyone heard the words, they echoed. They all heard that Xiao Lingxiao used to be blind and dumb, and could not do anything, and everyone naturally knew that the fourth prince begged the emperor for marriage was repeatedly rejected. Everyone could see that the fourth prince was begging the eldest princess, and the eldest princess said so to test whether the eldest lady of the Xiao family was enough to be the fourth prince's concubine. It is.

Xiao Lingxiao had long expected that this matter could not be avoided. Fortunately, she got up with a smile and said, "Since the eldest princess has something to say, Lingxiao should obey."

When Princess Mingci saw that Xiao Lingxiao was generous and did not flinch, she had a good impression on her and asked, "Then tell me, what do you want to perform?"

Xiao Lingxiao lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then looked up to the eldest princess and said, "Just now, all the princes and ladies showed their talents, pianos, paintings, songs and dances, and I was not as good as them. Ling Xiao heard that the eldest princess has recently got a pet dog. I don't know if she can order someone to bring it to open everyone's eyes.

Princess Mingci has no husband and children, and it is inevitable to be lonely to live alone in this mansion, so she likes to raise some toys, especially petite and cute puppies. Some time ago, the foreign vassal paid tribute and sent a sleeve dog, which was only the size of a palm, which was very gratifying. The emperor specially rewarded the puppy to the eldest princess. Unfortunately, although the puppy was small, its temperament was very fierce. The eldest princess found a lot of trainers, but no one could train it well.

As we all know, although the eldest princess was puzzled, she also made people bring the puppy.

The palm-sized puppy was put in a square iron cage and brought in. As soon as the puppy saw the figure, it barked wildly. Although the eldest princess loves dogs, she can't help frowning.

Xiao Lingxiao slowly stepped forward and took the iron cage from the maid's hand. She looked inside with an iron cage, just opposite the puppy. The puppy stared at Xiao Lingxiao fiercely with his teeth. Xiao Lingxiao looked cold and said to the puppy in a voice that others could not hear, "If you are reincarnated as a dog, you should shut up and be obedient. If you wear out their patience, you will live to the end!"

After saying this, Xiao Lingxiao made the divine wolf spread a pressure with a secret in his heart. The puppy in the iron cage seemed to understand Xiao Lingxiao's words and felt the extremely strong momentum on her body. Suddenly, he shrank on the iron cage and trembled.

Xiao Lingxiao then opened the iron cage, reached out and held the puppy and let it stand on the open space. Then Xiao Lingxiao squatted down and put the iron cage aside, stretched out his smile, put his hand in front of the puppy, and whispered, "Claws."

The puppy hesitated for a moment, looked up at Xiao Lingxiao, shook his body, slowly raised a small paw, and gently put it on Xiao Lingxiao's hand.

Xiao Lingxiao patted the top of the puppy's head with satisfaction, and then let it sit down, stand up, turn over, roll. The puppy did it obediently one by one, and there was no more fierce appearance.

When Xiao Lingxiao stood up, everyone present was very surprised. Princess Mingci hurriedly left the main seat and came to Xiao Lingxiao. She carefully squatted down and gave instructions to the puppy according to her appearance just now. The puppy was all ordered to do it. The little obedient appearance made Princess Mingci melt her heart. It melted.

She held the puppy in her arms and didn't know why she spoiled it.

Looking up again, the eldest princess asked Xiao Lingxiao with a surprised smile, "How did you do it?"

Xiao Lingxiao replied indifferently, "It's just a small skill of carving insects. I hope the eldest princess will forgive him for being difficult to adapt to the long-distance environment before, and treat it well in the future."

The eldest princess of Mingci nodded like pounding garlic. All her vigilance against Xiao Lingxiao seemed to have disappeared. She patronized to play with the puppy in her arms. After that, others showed any talent, and the eldest princess didn't even look at it anymore.

When the banquet was almost over, everyone left the banquet in twos and threes and went to the courtyard to stroll and chat. Xiao Lingxiao also got up and walked out of the hall. As soon as he took a few steps, he heard someone calling behind him, "Yingxiao!"

Xiao Lingxiao frowned and turned around. What she saw was indeed the haunting fourth prince.

The fourth prince smiled happily and came over and said to Xiao Lingxiao, "Leng Xiao, you are really awesome! It can make the aunt so happy at once. In the future, she will do her best to help persuade her father in our marriage.

Xiao Lingxiao snorted with a cold face, "What did Your Highness say? The emperor issued the imperial edict and said that Lingxiao was ominous, and Lingxiao would never marry into the royal family in his life. Your Highness, you should give up as soon as possible, so as not to let others think that Lingxiao still has the intention of climbing dragons and phoenixes. The Fourth Highness has the love of the imperial concubine and the eldest princess, and the emperor's favor. He doesn't care about these gossips, but Lingxiao is in a difficult situation all the time and can't stand these.

The fourth prince was stunned when he heard the words, and then figured out something. He stepped forward and took Xiao Lingxiao's hand.

"Ling Xiao, no matter who bullies you in the future, you will tell me that I want to marry you as my concubine, and I will definitely not let anyone bully you! I am willing to do anything for you!"

His words were simply a great irony for Xiao Lingxiao. Xiao Lingxiao looked at him with a sincere face and almost didn't even think about it. He pulled back his hand fiercely and raised his foot to kick him.

But at this moment, a woman's sharp scream suddenly came from the distance.
