He called Prince Hengdan "Big Brother" so naturally and smoothly that Bai Qing held back his laughter and turned around with a red face. His shoulders kept twitching, and Halidan had a strange expression on his face.
Even Ding Ning felt very unnatural, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "I was just joking. Prince Hengdan, you don't have to take it seriously."
"No, as a gentleman, I still have the basic spirit of contract. Don't you think it's a very good moral character to be willing to accept the loss when you bet?"
Unexpectedly, Prince Hengdan did not follow Ding Ning's excuse. Blinking his big blue eyes, he maintained his gentlemanly demeanor plausibly, and his attitude was so sincere that it was almost paranoid.
It had to be said that Yingjili people always regarded themselves as gentlemen, and Prince Hengdan was no exception. At this moment, he looked quite cute.
But this was embarrassing. Prince Hengdan was the oldest among the four people. He was 32 years old this year, ten years older than Ding Ning, so he kept calling Prince Hengdan "Big Brother", which made the three people feel a little strange.
Halidan reacted quickly. He immediately pulled Prince Hengdan and said in half-baked Shenzhou language, "We fell in love with Brother Ding Ning at first sight. How about we become sworn brothers in the Apricot Grove?"
"Puff!"
Ding Ning and Bai Qing both burst out laughing, and even the four bodyguards could not help laughing.
Halidan was bewildered by their laughter. "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? "
"Halidan, you really need to learn your Shenzhou language. It should be said that we feel like old friends at first sight. Falling in love at first sight is used to describe the feelings between a man and a woman. As for the Apricot Grove, there is no such idiom. It is called the Peach Garden Sworn Brothers."
Bai Qing convulsed with laughter and explained patiently.
Halidan was straightforward and knew that he had made a fool of himself. He scratched his head, gave a hollow laugh, and asked modestly, "What is the Peach Garden?"
Hengdan's Shenzhou language level was not good, so he looked at Bai Qing with a face full of curiosity and waited for his explanation.
Bai Qing was also speechless. He could only patiently explain to them the story of the Peach Garden Sworn Brothers in the Peach Garden in the history of Shenzhou, which made the two foreigners fascinated.
"Then let's find a Peach Garden Sworn Brothers?"
Halidan seemed to understand but not understand. After Bai Qing finished speaking, he could not wait to say it.
"The oath of brotherhood in the peach garden is just an allusion. It means the most sincere feelings between brothers, and it doesn't have to be sworn in the peach garden. Things like chopping a chicken's head, drinking blood wine, bowing to Guan Gong, and swearing blood as an oath, I'll tell you when I have a chance in the future. To put it bluntly, the oath of brotherhood is just a ceremony. The friendship between gentlemen is thinner than water, and the brotherhood is more important than the heart. We don't need to stick to that form at all. Ding Yu, what do you think?"
Qing did not object, but he could not understand Ding Ding Ning's Sworn Brothers. and did not dare to say it. Ding Qing said. Hai.
"Ding Ding Brother," Ding Ding Ding Qing Qing, "Ding Bai" Qing did not.
Ding Ning did not comment on this. Although Prince Hengli was very arrogant before, after getting familiar with him, he found that this guy was also a very hearty, enthusiastic, and affectionate person. Otherwise, he would not accompany Halidan to Shenzhou to seek medical treatment in this sensitive period.
Prince Hengli was very arrogant before, but after getting familiar with him, he found that this guy was also a very hearty, enthusiastic, and affectionate person. Otherwise, he would not accompany Halidan to Shenzhou to seek medical treatment in this sensitive period.
Looking at his indifferent performance, the others did not think that he was trying to climb the social ladder, but took it for granted.
In their view, Ding Ning was a capable person, and his status was not much lower than theirs. They even had some faint respect for him. Seeing that he agreed, they were very happy.
Therefore, under the witness of the four bodyguards, Ha Da, Ha Er, Ha San, and Ha Si, the four people became the Golden Orchid Brothers according to their age. Hengli was the eldest, Bai Qing was the second, Halidan was the third, and Ding Ning was the fourth.
"Haha, I have become the eldest from the younger brother. Come on, Fourth Brother, call me the eldest brother and let me feel comfortable."
After bowing, Prince Hengli immediately showed his complacent nature and shouted that he wanted to get back at Ding Ning. His dirty look made Ding Ning speechless, and he always felt that he had boarded a pirate ship.
"Okay, don't make trouble. Now let's continue my topic. I didn't want to say it before because it involved my family's scandal. Now we are brothers, and I have nothing to hide from you."
The smile on Halidan's face faded, and he said in a deep voice.
Ha Da and the other three bodyguards consciously left. They had better know as little as possible about the scandal of the royal family. Although Halidan trusted them very much, they knew what they should know and what they should not know.
According to Halidan, Princess Xikela was his mother's sister, who was his aunt's daughter. She was nine years younger than him and the same age as his younger brother, Idin.
Arabia was a polygamous country. His father had more than a dozen wives. Although only the three brothers, Halidan, Klarman, and Idin, were qualified to inherit the throne of Dubai, in fact, he had more than three brothers. He had seventeen brothers, plus more than thirty sisters. This was only on the surface. God knew how many illegitimate children his father had secretly. It was just that those brothers were either too young or could not become the heir for other reasons.
This made Ding Ning fascinated. "Polygamy! What a good social system! Should I emigrate to the United Arab Emirates?"
Halidan changed the topic and became a little bashful. It turned out that his aunt Cosmi was the queen of King Sultan of Sharjah, who was also the queen of Sharjah, the third largest emirate of the United Arab Emirates.
It should be known that the United Arab Emirates was a federal country composed of seven Arab emirates. The Supreme Sheikh of the United Arab Emirates was composed of the sheikhs of the seven emirates, local hereditary nobles, and rich businessmen. It was the highest authority, and major domestic and foreign policy issues were decided by the Supreme Sheikh!
As the second largest emirate of the United Arab Emirates, Dubai was also one of the members of the United Arab Emirates Federal Sheikh of the United Arab Emirates. However, if one wanted to seize the right to speak in the Sheikh of the United Arab Emirates and become the president, he must draw allies to fight against the first largest emirate, Abu Dhabi.
Sharjah, the third largest emirate, was obviously the most suitable target for them to draw, so Halidan and Xikela were engaged and formed this political marriage.
But the problem was that his father, Rashid, was a dissolute man, and his aunt, Cosmi, was his lover before she married. Even after marrying Sultan, the two of them often had trysts, so even Rashid and Cosmi didn't know whose daughter Xikela was.
Therefore, Halidan was extremely resistant when he knew that he was going to be engaged to Xikela. After all, although Arab countries did not care about the marriage of close relatives, it was still very unacceptable if they were siblings.
But Rashid was ambitious and wanted to be the president of the United Arab Emirates. He asked him to focus on the overall situation, so he had to compromise and accept this marriage. After all, even if he married his half-sister, he could marry several more wives.
For peace of mind, Halidan quietly collected Xikela's hair and asked someone to do a DNA test secretly, but the result surprised him. Xikela was his father's daughter, but he was not Rashid's biological son. This blow was like a bolt from the blue to him.
So, in order to find out the truth, he secretly investigated again and finally found that Sultan had an affair with his mother, and he was Sultan's son.
Ding Ning and others listened and looked at each other. "The relationship between men and women in the royal family is too f * cking lascivious. It is just like an intricate and melodramatic court ethics drama."
On the contrary, Prince Hengli had long been used to it. Born in the royal family, he had seen more dirty things than this. Not to mention the clandestine love affair, even the messing up of seniority was common.
The so-called nobles of the palace might look bright and beautiful on the surface, making people envious and revered, but in reality, most of them led rotten lives in private. Under their sanctimonious disguise, there was a dirty soul hidden inside.
After all, they were born with power, money, identity, and status, which others needed to struggle for all their lives, but they had long lost their life goals. Their lives were too ordinary, and they could only live like parasites, indulging in extravagance and doing all kinds of outrageous and absurd things to seek strange excitement.
Speaking of this, Prince Hengli showed a touch of bitterness on his face. "Like me, I was born a prince and had to learn court etiquette from an early age. I received the so-called elite education. Even when I went shopping, I needed dozens of people to accompany me. It seemed that I was surrounded by people and looked majestic, but in fact, there was no difference between me and a prisoner. Sometimes I would rather be born in an ordinary family and have ideals and goals like ordinary people to fight for. To be frank, even if I became the Emperor of Ying, so what? I would still be a spiritual leader who was worshiped on the altar and had no real power. "
Ding Ning was silent. Although what Prince Hengli said was a bit suspicious that a full man did not know the hunger of a hungry man, what he said was indeed the truth.
Today, the Emperor of Ying was just a symbol of the royal family. He used to have the constitutional power, but now he had no real power at all and was more of a spiritual symbol.
Not to mention that it was difficult for Prince Hengli to ascend to the throne of the Emperor of Ying, even if he became the Emperor, so what? He was not as good as ordinary people who struggled for their dreams and lived a fulfilling life.
Halidan was better. After all, he still had a goal to strive for. First, he became the king of Dubai, and then he strived to become the president of the United Arab Emirates. His life could be regarded as wonderful.
He did not know Bai Qing's family background, but even if he was born in a rich family, in Shenzhou, a country where there was basically no aristocracy, he had endless fun fighting against heaven and earth, and he would not lack goals to strive for.
Among the four people, Prince Hengli, who seemed to have the most respected status, had the most miserable life. He did not lack money or fame, but only lacked real power, which he was destined to be unable to fight for.
The royal identity was of little value to him, which was tasteless but a pity to discard. Instead, it was not as fulfilling as an ordinary person who struggled step by step to realize his dream.
At the mention of this dull topic, Prince Hengli opened a bottle of red wine and drank it. His face was full of decadence and depression, and he lamented, "Sometimes I don't know why I live. I'm really tired."
From his decadent and confused look, Ding Ning seemed to see the lethargy of a decadent dynasty. The Yingjili Empire, which once dominated the world, had embarked on a rapid decline.
From the perspective of nationalism and the crimes committed by the Yingjili Empire against the history of Shenzhou, Ding Ning should applaud.
The decline of a powerful dynasty was inevitable in history. No one could establish a dynasty that would be peaceful forever. This was the inevitable trend of the development of history, and there was nothing to be sad about.
But from the perspective of personal feelings, Ding Ning really could not bear to see his brother, whom he had just become sworn brother, lost in the decadence and degeneration of losing his life goals.
In his case, he had preliminary signs of depression, and if he was not guided in time, he would have big problems sooner or later. As a doctor, he had the responsibility and obligation to guide him to establish a healthy outlook on life.
