Your Highness, the Empress Runs Away Again - C241 Drink

However, for humanitarian reasons, Qi He agreed to wait for him alone in the teahouse across the street from the brothel.

When Xia Xian heard that Chen Xiao was leaving, she felt reluctant to part with him. It was rare for her to meet such a cute and mischievous child. It was like a ray of sunlight shining into her dim life, bringing warmth to her.

“In the future, will I not be able to see him again?”

Chen Xiao nodded. “Maybe.”

Mount Shu was too far away from the capital. It was a difficult trip. If she did not follow Qi He to find someone, he would not have come this time.

“Wait a moment, I have something for you.” Xia Xian hurriedly opened the cabinet and took something out to hand to Chen Xiao. “This is a candied fruit that I made myself, take it with you on the way.”

She had no one to rely on, and was only a brothel girl who sold jokes for a living. She also did not have anything decent that she could take out, so she hoped that he would not mind it.

Before Chen Xiao could feel happy, he naturally wouldn’t think that the gift was cheap or cheap. “Okay, thank you beautiful big sister!”

“Foolish child, why are you being so courteous to me?”

He was the first friend she had ever made, perhaps the last, and anyway he was blessed to grow up and be a man who could hold his own in the future.

“That’s right, what are you going to do about father and Princess Qi?” When Xia Xian suddenly thought of this, she couldn’t help but ask.

Chen Xiao curled his lips helplessly. “It’s up to fate. The princess doesn’t like godfather, and godfather is thin-skinned and won’t express his feelings for her. As the godson, I’m in a dilemma.”

Pity him, a mere child. His hair had almost turned white because of this matter.

“I do have a plan, but I don’t know if it’ll work.” Xia Xian craftily said. She had seen the tricks Chen Xiao had used to trick Sun Ran, and she had also secretly learnt a trick.

Chen Xiao grabbed her hand and excitedly asked, “Tell me quickly, as long as I can do it.”

Just a moment ago, he had said that it was up to fate, but now, his brain had started to twist. It seemed like it wasn’t an easy thing to make a person completely give up on something they were obsessed with.

“I’ve said that after drinking, he would spout the truth. If you pour wine into your godfather’s mouth, when he is completely drunk, you can call the princess to him. When that happens, he will definitely be able to say anything.

The princess couldn’t ask of him, but the man in front of her was very close. There was a saying that ‘distant water cannot quench one’s thirst.’ She could only hope that the princess would be able to properly enjoy this near water.

Chen Xiao frowned as he thought about it. It was a good idea. If his godfather was rejected, he could blame everything on the alcohol, saying that he was just blabbering on after drinking too much.

“Then I’ll try it tonight. If it succeeds, you will be the one who has done the deed for all eternity.” His godfather had once said that as long as he married his mistress, he would take her as his disciple and teach her how to steal. He had always been looking forward to the day when she could become a successful thief like his master.

Of course, Xia Xian didn’t know that there was such a crucial point. If she knew that he had the intention to steal from this business, no matter what she said, she wouldn’t reveal this plan.

“Alright, alright, you said that the princess is still waiting for you outside. You can go, don’t make her wait.” After all, Chen Xiao was a person with a silver spoon in his mouth. It would be a great sin if he didn’t let the princess down because of him.

Chen Xiao held a bag of candied fruits in his hands. “Beautiful sister, I wish you happiness in the future.”

Then he left the house.

Xia Xian sat at the table and recalled his words. Peace and happiness, what kind of happiness was there to have here? Perhaps the happiest thing in her life was that she had met this little fellow, and it was he who had brought him temporary happiness.

Qi He saw Chen Xiao coming out of the brothel and hurried to welcome him. “Look at your expression, you don’t seem reluctant to part with it.”

She knew how to read words, and she knew that the child’s mind was racing.

“Since we have already said our goodbyes and will never meet again, then let’s forget everything from the past. We will meet more people in the future.” Chen Xiao smiled brilliantly.

There were some problems that he could often see very simply. One had to walk forward, one could not stop because of a passing guest in his life.

So it turned out that he was envious of his godfather, because his godfather lived a free and easy life and did whatever he wanted, so no one interfered. Even if he was sent to jail, he could still be released.

But now, he realized that his godfather was only a common person. When he met someone he liked, he instantly changed his appearance and lived a life that was not as comfortable as before.

Even though the children were young, the adults could not guess what was going on in their hearts.

Qi He smiled embarrassedly, “Looks like you’re being heartless. You’re imitating your godfather.”

However, he was right. It was because he could not let them go that he was struggling. If Chen Xiao could let them go, then he would be the same as before.

The hardest thing in life is to let go of it.

“Not really.” Chen Xiao shook his head. If it was before, he could have said that, but now it was different. Today, his godfather had a heart and lungs, and his heart was filled with both Princess Qi and Princess Hua-Yang.

Fortunately, he hadn’t grown up yet, so he didn’t have to worry so much about love or not. However, when faced with his godfather’s love, he still wanted to point fingers and tell him what to do.

Qi He was a little puzzled. “If he’s not learning from him, then who is he learning from?”

“Some things are born, you stupid pig won’t understand.” Chen Xiao stuck his tongue out at her.

Qi He was so angry that he vomited blood. “What?” “Stupid pig?”

Who had bought him the candied fruits earlier, who had lent him money to go into the brothel to see the girl, who had been waiting pitifully outside for him, and now they were tearing down the bridge after crossing the river? Little brat, do you know how willful you are?

“It’s a stupid pig!” After Chen Xiao shouted those two words, he quickly ran far away.

Her godfather had deeply fallen in love with her, but she hadn’t the slightest inkling that this wasn’t a pig’s brain. Even an outsider like himself could see it clearly.

So now, there were two things to consider. First, she intentionally put on an act to avoid embarrassment; secondly, her intuition as a woman was too poor; and she also loved that Taoist too much, so she inadvertently neglected her poor godfather.

Afraid that something might happen to him, Qi He chased after him. “Devilish brat, stop right there!”

Of course, Qi He was very magnanimous in front of Chen Xiao. If it was Sun Sran who called her a pig, she would probably ignore him for 20 years.

When the two of them returned to the inn, Chen Xiao said to her, “We didn’t bring along our godfather when we went shopping. He must be very sad, very sad, and I want to go and comfort him.”

“Alright then, I’m a bit tired, let’s go to bed.” He pushed open the door.

Chen Xiao also entered the room next door. He smiled at his godfather who was lying on the bed. “My beloved godfather, look what I’ve brought you!”

Sun Sran didn’t even need to open his eyes, “Needless to say, it’s definitely a candied fruit.”

Other than buying candied fruits, he would not buy anything else.
