Chapter 43: Lin Xiaochen's Story
"Now that you know about this, then you must also know, Xiao Ziyi said in front of the civil and military officials that she would never let the concubine be accepted, so is your plan going to stop. ”
Lin Xiaoyue turned her head and looked at Lin Xiaochen and said word by word.
Lin Xiaochen watched Lin Xiaoyue say these words to herself, she didn't know what they meant, but she could feel that Lin Xiaoyue was not hostile to her.
And since the last kite flying incident, although she has repeatedly wanted to avoid too much contact with Lin Xiaoyue, she found that Lin Xiaoyue is really a Xiaoqiang who can't be killed, very strong, and has perseverance.
Anyway, she mentioned her relationship with Xiao Ziyi, and she also made many intimate actions, but Lin Xiaoyue was able to solve the embarrassment one by one, put herself in a neutral place, and then continue to be close to herself in another way.
She had a hunch that Lin Xiaoyue would keep pestering her.
"What the hell do you want to say? Are you here to tell me what you have heard and seen in the palace today? If so, then please leave quickly, for I will know these things sooner or later. ”
Lin Xiaochen wanted Lin Xiaoyue to leave quickly, because the sentence she shouted just now might be heard, and maybe some people would come to her room to search in a while.
said it was for her safety, but in fact it wasn't to check if she had any dealings with people outside, which was also her stepmother's usual trick.
Yes, the current housemother of the Li family is not her biological mother, but her biological mother's younger sister.
When she was young, her biological mother died, but before she died, she let her father marry her sister, who is now the head of the Li family.
At that time, she was still young, and she did not understand these things, only that she knew that her mother was going to leave her, and that there would be a woman who would take her place, and although she was superficially good to herself, she knew that no one could trust her in the future.
But Lin Xiaochen is not alone, she also has an elder brother, that is, the eldest son of the Li family, named Li Hua, and now she is stationed outside the border and can't go home all year round, so she is the only one in the family.
That's why she said that she was used to seeing the faces of these people since she was a child, and she also knew the good and evil of people's hearts, and she understood how difficult it was for her to live safely here, so she never fought or grabbed.
She is not like her sisters, who dress up every day and are extremely glamorous, but prefer to dress more simply and casually like a man.
In fact, she still hopes that she is a boy in her heart, if she is a boy, she will never tolerate such a grievance, even if she is like a big brother, she can't go home from being stationed on the frontier all the year round, then she is willing to do it.
And Lin Xiaochen's things are all Lin Xiaoyue doesn't know, he just thinks that Li Wei was ruthless to those little girls just now because she was playing with the eldest lady's temper, how did he know that Lin Xiaochen has suffered a lot more than these little girls since he was a child.
"I just saw you in the little pavilion to those girls...... I can't take care of your family affairs, but I guess that's too hard for a girl. ”
Lin Xiaoyue, although she is not particularly willing to take care of other people's affairs, but Lin Xiaochen has just really subverted her image in his heart, so he still wants to ask for clarification.
In the pavilion? Lin Xiaochen sneered in his heart, these people all looked the same, on the surface they were kind and amiable, but who knew how cruel and vicious their psychology was.
"Hmph! Seeing is believing, as you can see, I'm such a vicious woman, why do you still want to be close to me?" Lin Xiaochen didn't want to explain anything to him, just like he saw it, he was that kind of person. It's nothing to her anyway.
"You!" Lin Xiaoyue was a little angry, why did she fall like this? she didn't even give him an explanation, she didn't want to be sad if he misunderstood something?
Or is it because he doesn't have any weight in her heart at all, so no matter what he thinks, it doesn't matter.
"I know you're not the kind of woman I see, because I'm not generalizing, I've heard all the conversations between you and Plum Blossom, and I know what kind of person you are, and the woman I fancy will never look away. ”
After Lin Xiaoyue finished speaking, she poured herself a glass of water and drank it fiercely.
What is he talking about? Saying that he is the woman he has his eye on? This person can't be a fool, right?
"So will you tell me about you? I can be your trash can and collect all your unpleasantness. Lin Xiaoyue said very seriously this time, as if she was really willing to be her trash can, but Lin Xiaochen didn't believe him.
"Then let me guess, if I guess correctly, you have to promise to tell me the truth in the future, okay?" Lin Xiaoyue thought that Lin Xiaochen was unwilling to tell him everything, so don't use this way to open up an embarrassing situation.
"What about you, you are the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Li, and you are the concubine, it stands to reason that your identity should be very noble, but why did Meihua just say that these little girls always bully you, and treat several other concubines and concubines with respect?
When Lin Xiaoyue said this, she stopped to check Lin Xiaochen's face, and found that she didn't show any traces on the surface, so she continued.
"According to the conversation you just had with the plum blossoms, it can be seen that you are a person who has no quarrel with the world, kind-hearted and cute, simple, but not as heartless as on the surface, you just have the heart to protect yourself, and you don't want to harm others, although you haven't tracked down the frequent harm of others, but you don't want to let yourself be hurt, so every time you can skillfully resolve it, what I said is right?"
Lin Xiaoyue stopped again to look at Lin Xiaochen, and found that Lin Xiaochen still had the same expression and action just now, so she just wanted to speak again, but was interrupted by Li Wei first.
"Yes, you're right. Now the mother of the Li family is not my biological mother, but do you know that the eldest son is not Li Yu, but my eldest brother Li Hua. ”
Li Hua? She also has an eldest brother? I only know that Prime Minister Li Cheng's eldest son is Li Yu, but I don't know that there is another eldest son who is Li Hua.
Lin Xiaochen looked at Lin Xiaoyue's stunned appearance, and knew that he must not know about this, so he continued.
"My eldest brother Li Hua has been stationed on the frontier all the year round and hasn't been back for a long time, so you don't know that he still exists. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Xiaochen obviously showed a bitter smile, which made people like Lin Xiaoyue feel a little distressed, and wanted to go over and put his arm around her shoulders and say to her, and I am here!
"When I was very young, my mother died, and then my father married the current mother, in fact, I should call the current mother, aunt, because she is my mother's real sister. Since she got married, she has been very favored by her father, and the daughters and sons she gave birth to are also deeply loved by their fathers, while my eldest brother and I have gradually been forgotten. ”
"Although my eldest brother and I did not fight or fight, this vicious woman still asked my father to send my eldest brother to a place so far away from the frontier. I'm the only one at home, and I can't say anything about it. ”
"To tell you the truth, what I like is not you, but Xiao Ziyi, from the first time I saw him, I fell in love with him, but I can't tell anyone about this feeling, I can only miss it silently in my heart. The last time I went to fly a kite with you, it was also the first time I came into contact with him, when I received the holy decree, you don't know how happy I am, even the whole Li family is happy for me. It was the first time since my mother passed away that I saw my father look at me with such tender eyes, and he asked me if I was happy every day and asked me if I was missing something, and if I was missing something, I told him, it was the fatherly love I had been looking forward to for a long time, can you feel it?"
"And on the day I went to fly a kite with you, in fact, Xiao Ziyi had already told me that he came to me just to perform a play, but I still risked entering, and I was willing to do it. ”
"You are also Prime Minister Li's daughter-in-law, no matter how much they deduct your things, at least they can't go too far, if you can't look past it on the surface, won't your father care?" Lin Xiaoyue couldn't help but interrupt her, the people in the Li Mansion were really too snobbish, just now she taught those little women, he still felt that Lin Xiaochen was ruthless, and now it seems that she is just beating some rats and ants.
"Heh, didn't you hear what I just said? In the Li Mansion, no matter how the concubine is and what the eldest daughter is, as long as it is useless to the family, it is not as good as a subordinate, and it is superfluous to eat an extra bite of food. The people of the Li family now know that Xiao Ziyi married Lin Xiaoning as the queen, and made an oath to the people of the world that they would never accept concubines in this life, so I lost my use value, and a person who is useless to the Li Mansion is not as good as a subordinate. ”
Sometimes Lin Xiaochen thought, it's better to escape like this, it's better to leave the Li Mansion and go to the border to find the eldest brother, even if he dies on the road, it's better than being imprisoned here for the rest of his life, in the dark.
But whenever she saw the letters that her eldest brother had written to her, she felt that she couldn't just give up. The eldest brother is so far away, lonely, helpless, and can grit his teeth and persevere, but he wants to give up without doing anything, which is too cruel for the eldest brother.
Lin Xiaoyue looked at Lin Xiaochen who was so heartbroken, and couldn't help but walk to her side anymore and hugged her tightly.
At first, Lin Xiaochen struggled hard, but in the end, he couldn't resist Lin Xiaoyue's strength, so he soon gave up, and could only let him hug him tightly.
"Hey, don't you think I'm pathetic? Lin Xiaochen suddenly said this in Lin Xiaoyue's ear.
"Actually, I lied to you. ”
