Ghostly Masked Prince Xiao: Pampering and Spoiling the Little Adorable Consort

(82) Take it as the Block of Ice telling a Corny Joke

After the married Chu couple left, Xiao Xu finished handling the matters in the study and then, he headed towards the Jade Courtyard.

Before reaching the courtyard, he could hear the laughter coming from inside. His brows wrinkled before stepping into the room.

Xiao Ran who was made to laugh uncontrollably by Chu Qing-Yan's corny jokes saw his Royal Elder Brother enter from the corner of his eyes, and he greeted him without thinking. "Royal Elder Brother, even though Qing Yan is young, I didn't know her experience and knowledge is so vast!"

Xiao Xu walked towards the pear wood chair in the room and sat down.

Clearly, Xiao Ran was in high spirits, he repeated the corny joke that Chu Qing-Yan just told to his royal elder brother.

"Royal Elder Brother, a banana walked on a road, after walking and walking, it felt hot so it took off its clothes, take a guess at what's wrong with that? Hahahaha——"

Xiao Xu: ""......"

Xiao Ran: "HAHAHA——I can't anymore, my stomach hurts from laughing——"

Xiao Xu: "......"

Xiao Ran: "Haha, the result was it slipped and fell, hahahah——isn't it funny！"

Xiao Xu withheld his assessment from his spasming fourth younger brother.

Chu Qing-Yan: "......"

She never knew that Xiao Ran's joke standards were so low. Fortunately, she only told him one joke and didn't bring out the whole collection.

"Qing-Yan, tell another one. I never thought this kind of small stories could be so funny!" Xiao Run bluntly told her, laughing so much that two teardrops could be seen from the corner of his eyes.

Chu Qing-Yan clearly didn't want to pay attention to him anymore.

Xiao Xu indifferently looked at his fourth brother whose gaze never strayed away from Chu Qing-Yan and recalled the provocative words Daddy Chu had spoken earlier. He lifted the teacup at the side of his hand and, lightly knocking the lid over the cup, thoughtfully said. "I recently heard that father the emperor wants to examine your archery and riding class lessons?"

Hearing this, the smile on Xiao Ran's face vanished. He also didn't have the amused expression he had a while ago. "That's right, three days later, Father Emperor will be testing my archery and shooting skills, next month, it'll be chess skills!"

Xiao Xu lowered his head and drank a mouthful of tea. The aroma spread through his tongue, carrying a clear sweet fragrance, but when it entered his throat, it carried a slight bitterness. He unhurriedly said. "Your Mother Consort has always prioritized your classwork, so you should spend the next couple of days practicing properly in the palace. Otherwise if your results aren't ideal, I'm afraid you won't get more opportunities to get out of the palace again."

Xiao Ran originally wanted to argue that even if he didn't properly practice, his results wouldn't be bad. However, thinking of Consort Mother's most severe demands, he couldn't help but shut his mouth. He stealthily took a glance at Chu Qing-Yan, if she opened her mouth to tell him to come by often, he would definitely fight for the chance to come look for her, but why was her gaze always on that writing brush in her hand?!

And so Xiao Ran sulkily said. "Got it, this younger brother will go back now to practice properly."

Finished speaking, he walked away and didn't even look back!

When Chu Qing-Yan lifted her head, his person was already gone and she couldn't help but feel somewhat suspicious. Why did this person just go after saying so? Without even informing them too!
