Chapter 268: Feng Xuan Yu
Just before Feng Xuan Yu spoke up, Sui Sui thought that her seventh brother had the loudest voice in the household.
But as Feng Xuan Yu opened his mouth, his tall voice, coupled with its natural reverb, circled around Sui Sui's ears.
Sui Sui even felt a tingle in her ears.
How should she put it?
Although they were a bit closer now, this voice, this projection...
It felt like her ears would start ringing if he came any closer.
Sui Sui was a little afraid of this brother. She gently snuggled closer to her father's shoulder and buried her head, then sneaked a peek at the two new brothers.
After responding to Feng Xuan Yu with a smile, Feng Xuan Ze walked over with his second brother and greeted their father and the queens first.
Feng Xuan Ze's voice was gentle, and his manners were elegant.
Feng Xuan Yu's voice, on the other hand, was deep and resonant, and his demeanor was bold.
The two brothers spoke almost in unison, but this time, Feng Xuan Yu didn't disregard everyone else and simply bellow. Instead, he deliberately lowered his voice and even snuck a glance at Sui Sui as he spoke.
After the greetings, Queen Qi and Concubine Ren asked the two boys if they were tired or hungry from their journey and if they wanted to head back for a meal.
...
After some small talk, King Qi finally smiled and asked a few questions about their studies before suggesting that they all head back to the mansion.
After all, it wouldn't be appropriate to stand and chat right in front of the mansion's gates.
Hearing this, everyone agreed and began making their way back.
The servants would handle the carriages, so there was no need for them to worry about that.
Feng Xuan Ze briefly responded to his father, and then he smiled at Sui Sui and asked, "So, this must be the adorable Sui Sui?"
Hearing her brother's initiative greeting, Sui Sui straightened her back in her father's embrace and looked at this brother seriously.
She didn't know how to address him.
However, Feng Xuan Ze didn't make things difficult for the child and quickly introduced himself with a smile, "Hello, Sui Sui. I'm your eldest brother."
Upon hearing this, Sui Sui quickly and obediently bowed, "Hello, Eldest Brother. I'm Sui Sui."
Seeing this, Feng Xuan Yu quickly stepped forward, revealing his large white teeth with a hehe smile, "Hello, Sui Sui. I'm your second brother!"
Feng Xuan Yu was afraid of scaring people, so he pinched his voice as he spoke, deliberately lowering his volume.
However, his deep voice naturally carried a reverb.
Even though he lowered his voice, it still felt like it echoed in Sui Sui's ears, lingering for a long time.
This made Sui Sui even more afraid of this second brother. Plus, his bear-like burly physique was also quite intimidating.
So, Sui Sui's back wasn't as straight as it could be, and she instinctively wanted to hide in her father's embrace. But fearing that the second brother would see and get angry, she forced herself to appear calmer and then said in a small voice, "Hello, Second Brother. I'm Sui Sui."
The little girl tried her best to seem normal, but her trembling voice betrayed her nervousness.
Feng Xuan Yu didn't understand why his sister was still afraid of him.
Puzzled, he scratched his head and then directly asked, "Sister, are you afraid of Second Brother? Don't worry; Second Brother beats pigs, not people. Even if I beat people, I wouldn't beat girls!"
Concubine Ren: ...
She had mixed feelings and didn't know what to say.
So, she decided to pretend she hadn't heard anything.
However, Feng Xuan Yu saw that Sui Sui wasn't speaking, and he panicked. He reached out and pulled Concubine Ren towards him.
He genuinely grabbed Concubine Ren and even spun her around once as they spoke.
Concubine Ren: ...???
As he saw his mother spinning in front of him, Feng Xuan Yu suddenly realized...
Ah, no, that wasn't right. He had used too much force and spun his own mother in a circle.
Feng Xuan Yu was fourteen years old this year, making him only half-grown.
Having just realized his mistake, he hurriedly withdrew his hand, feeling ashamed and lowering his head. His eyes secretly rolled up to glance at his mother's changing expression.
Concubine Ren was so angry that she had lost all expression.
What could she do?
She suspected that in her previous life, she must have desecrated the ancestors of the heavens, leading to the birth of this debt-collecting son.
Her longing for her son was limited to the greetings exchanged at the door.
If they lingered any longer, she feared she would be angered to death!
Although she had been forced to spin, Concubine Ren still maintained her elegance, smiling at Sui Sui as she tried to make up for her disappointing son: "Sui Sui, don't be afraid. Second Brother is just not very bright, he's not a bad person."
Feng Xuan Yu couldn't accept this statement and subconsciously refuted, "I don't have a sick brain, Mother, don't speak nonsense."
After saying this, Feng Xuan Yu turned his head to look at Sui Sui, with a hehe smile on his face, "Sister, don't listen to Mother's nonsense, Second Brother is very smart. Later, Second Brother will take you out for a ride."
Concubine Ren: ?
Remembering the last time her son took her out riding, Concubine Ren almost turned green with embarrassment.
King Qi also knew about his second son's equestrian skills, so he quickly smiled and said, "No need, no need for now. Sui Sui is still young and can't ride a horse. Her legs will be sore."
Hearing this, Feng Xuan Yu was a little disappointed: "Oh, I see... Then we'll wait until Sister grows up."
To showcase his equestrian skills, Feng Xuan Yu raised his arm.
The thin garment could not conceal Feng Xuan Yu's robust muscles.
Especially when he bent his arm, the muscles tightened, looking even larger, solid, and intimidating.
Sui Sui was both afraid and curious.
Can human flesh really transform like that?
Sui Sui hid one of her eyes while the other eye wandered, unable to look away from her second brother's arm muscles.
It felt so strange, yet so powerful.
She wanted to look again and again.
As she gazed, both of Sui Sui's eyes drifted away.
Concubine Ren didn't want her son to embarrass himself further, so she quickly tugged at his clothes, signaling him to stop.
Feng Xuan Ze was also afraid that his brother's impulsiveness would scare his sister again, so he smiled and said, "Second Brother, go and wash up first. We'll eat soon, take it slow, don't scare Sister again."
Feng Xuan Yu listened to his older brother, and soon obediently followed him to wash up.
Everyone settled down and took their seats.
As a concubine, Concubine Ren didn't need to eat like a mistress, standing by the side and waiting.
Queen Qi arranged for her to sit on her right, next to her two sons, so Concubine Ren could also feel at ease.
Sui Sui, of course, was nestled in King Qi's embrace, and no one could take her away.
Feng Xuan Ze sat next to his father, and Feng Xuan Rui also wanted to be close to his older brother, so he happily squeezed in next to him.
After taking his seat, Feng Xuan Ze briefly inquired about his brothers' studies.
Upon receiving a response, Feng Xuan Ze turned his head to look at Sui Sui.
Sui Sui was curious about her older brother. She found him gentle and his words soft.
His entire being exuded a sense of warmth and comfort, like a flower blooming in spring, and it made people feel very secure.
Sui Sui...
Liked this older brother.
