151. Once upon a time

Chanyi saw that Xia Mingyi didn't speak for a long time, and turned her head to look at him.

Xia Mingyi's face did not have the usual smile in the past, and the thick eyelashes hung down, making it difficult to see the love in his eyes.

But Chanyi felt a ...... from him Lonely?

Yes, a kind of abandoned loneliness, and a peerless loneliness.

"Sister......" Xia Mingyi's eyelashes were half lifted, and her bright eyes like amber looked at her seriously, "Do you know what kind of life I lived before I came to Xia Mansion?"

Chanyi was stunned, "What life?"

He looked up at the low clouds in the sky, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth without any joy, it seemed that he was just habitually bending the corners of his mouth, and his tone was very calm: "I was only two years old when my mother was poisoned by the queen, maybe the queen thinks that a two-year-old child can remember something?"

The corners of Xia Mingyi's curved mouth were vaguely a little sad, but his expression was quiet, "I remember, that day... The weather was very stuffy, I lay on the kang near the window to watch the goldfish raised in the fish tank, and the mother fell at the feet of the queen, vomiting blood while watching me cry......"

"Later, there was a fire in the dormitory, there was no female official in the palace, the door of the palace was tightly closed, and no matter how you shoot, you can't open it......"

The corners of his mouth were raised, and a trace of coldness overflowed: "Actually, it's not a fire at all, they deliberately want to burn me!"

After a moment, his tone was calm again: "Fortunately, my aunt was also in the palace at that time, and it was she who protected me to escape, but I was chased and killed by Yan Yunwei a few days after I left the palace, and my aunt took me to hide in Tibet." ”

"At that time, my aunt and I lived in a village on the western outskirts of Yunfu City, which was very poor, and my aunt had to do a lot of chores every day to support me. ”

Xia Mingyi's amber eyes were faintly covered with a layer of mist, which made people unable to see clearly, he shook his head, "I didn't understand it when I was a child, I always thought, why? Mother is such a good person, why did the queen force her to die? My father is obviously the son of heaven, but why did he let Yan Yunwei chase and kill me? Am I not his son?"

"I asked my aunt, and my aunt said that my father also had his troubles, and I was in a hurry, and my aunt hugged me and cried, and my aunt looked like my mother, and I looked at it like that, as if my mother was always by my side, and she never left......"

"Until I met Lord Xia......"

"Lord Xia placed us in the alley of Guang'an Temple, and our life gradually improved, no longer chased and killed, and no longer worried about our livelihood. ”

"Later, Lord Xia gradually came more, and my aunt's belly gradually grew up, in the first few years of Xianyi's birth, my aunt often quarreled with Lord Xia, every time I quarreled, my aunt drove Lord Xia away, and Lord Xia stood at the door and watched my aunt hold me crying, I knew that my aunt wanted Lord Xia to take us to Xia's mansion. ”

"Lord Xia refused, repeatedly saying what identity, what overall situation ......"

"After a few years in this way, it was not until I was eight years old that I entered the Xia Mansion, and my aunt was afraid that someone would know my identity, so she said that I was twins with Xianyi, and said that I was two years younger. ”

His brows were slightly locked, and a trace of sadness crossed his eyes, "Sometimes when I look at my aunt's face that resembles my mother's concubine, I can't help but think in my heart, if my aunt hadn't rescued me, I might have died a long time ago......"

Chanyi was stunned, and she saw the corners of Xia Mingyi's eyes glowing.

His tone was obviously calm, but from his words, she saw those dusty and yellow times in her memory, rushing towards her, through those years that flowed, she seemed to be able to see the little child, stubbornly looking up, standing in the old time, witnessing her biological mother quietly die in front of him, but she couldn't do anything...... I had to ask over and over again, why, why, why......

Chanyi's eyes were blurry, and her fingers were hidden in her sleeves and trembled slightly.

Xia Mingyi withdrew his gaze from looking at the sky, turned his head to look at her, and suddenly looked slight, as if he was homesick, and slowly reached out and touched her cheek.

Only then did she realize that her face was cold, and when she reached out to touch it, her palms were full of tears.

He stretched out his arm and hugged her gently, trying his best to hold back the emotions surging in his heart, and whispered, "Even if my aunt is not for me......"

Even if she had other plans, but she gave me the greatest love when I was still young, and I couldn't abandon her.

Chanyi nodded slightly, only to feel that the young man in her arms was so thin to hold, and there was a trace of pity in her eyes that she couldn't even detect.

On the cobblestone road leading to Fukushoutang, there was still thick snow on the evergreen pine and cypress branches on the roadside, and the beautiful young man gently hugged the girl who lowered his head.

The picture was so beautiful that the maids beside him couldn't help crying.

Unbeknownst to them, this was their last hug in the Summer Mansion.

……

When the holy decree was transmitted to the Xia Mansion, Chanyi was sitting in Fushoutang and discussing with the old lady about the disposal of Aunt Yan, and when she heard the maid's announcement, she couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly got up to change her clothes.

The old lady put on the Dongzhu forehead, picked out a royal blue swastika makeup gown to wear, and put on a carved silver rat skin on her body, and the whole person looked very energetic.

Chanyi wore a peach-colored plum blossom jacket, a pleated skirt sprinkled with gold silk and flowers, and a cloak of emerald brocade feather satin, standing beside the old lady delicately.

The rest of the Xia Mansion also arrived at Fushoutang one after another.

The waiter had a whisk on his arm, looked at the neatly dressed people in the Xia Mansion, coughed and asked, "Which one is Xia Mingyi?"

Chan Yi looked at the white face of the inner waiter with fine powder, and her heart shook suddenly, what is this going to do? There was no such thing in the previous life! Could it be that the queen did it? She couldn't help but look at Xia Mingyi.

Xia Mingyi stood at the back of his head, and when he heard this, he walked to the front, and saw the chamberlain take out a roll of bright yellow cloth embroidered with a nine-clawed golden dragon stepping cloud pattern from his sleeve and roll it out, and the chamberlain's unique shrill voice sounded: "Don't you kneel down to receive the order?"

Everyone hurriedly knelt down, the waiter looked at the people in the Xia Mansion condescendingly, the corners of his mouth gently provoked a touch of sarcasm, Chanyi only felt that the waiter's shrill voice had a thick gloom, which made people very uncomfortable to listen to in their ears.

The chamberlain unfolded the holy decree and said loudly: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Xia Mingyi, the third son of Xia Shijing, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, has been verified to be the third son of the emperor, and it is not easy for the emperor to read the third son, so he is specially welcome back to the palace, and he is here!"

Xia Mingyi was a little stunned, he always wanted to go back to the palace and slash the enemy, but at this moment, he found that he was a little reluctant to leave here, he turned his head sideways to look at Chanyi, and saw that she was looking at him with a worried face, and his heart seemed to be rubbed hard.

"Still not to accept the order to thank you?" the shrill voice of the waiter sounded above his head, Xia Mingyi thanked him, stood up, and met the face of the waiter who didn't have time to withdraw the color of inquiry.

The waiter coughed lightly, covered the look on his face, and bowed down to say hello: "Our family congratulates the third prince first, after wandering outside for several years, it is finally the fallen leaves to return to the roots, Emperor Ming'er will send Yan Yunwei to pick you up and return to the palace, don't forget to go to Kunhe Palace to thank you when you go back!"

Kunhe Palace, Queen!

Chanyi's expression froze, it was really the queen, and she couldn't wait to do it!

The old lady smiled and asked people to stuff two big red seals into the hands of the chamberlain, and said with a smile: "This child still needs you to take care of it in the palace." ”

The waiter took Feng Hong and raised his eyebrows and smiled: "What did the old lady say, the third prince is the son of a dragon, and in the future, our family will rely on the three princes to be promoted." ”

The words are obedient, but the meaning is that he is just an errand runner, where can he take care of Xia Mingyi.

A eunuch in the palace dared to underestimate Xia Mingyi like this...... Chanyi had a faint anger in her heart that she couldn't vent.

The waiter was greeted down to give a reward, and the old lady glanced at Xia Shijing, who was stunned on the spot, and said coldly in a low voice: "You come in for me!"

Is this going to discuss countermeasures with Xia Shijing?

Chanyi's brain turned fast, in the previous life, Xia Mingyi returned to the palace, and the biggest benefit was his father, not only was he promoted two levels, but he jumped directly to the position of the general political envoy, and even his grandmother was named the second-grade lady of the command, but in this life, the holy decree did not mention his father, so it seems that the emperor has been disappointed in his father?

Xie Shi took Xia Mingyi's hand and whispered comfortingly: "You are a good boy, you have to be careful when you go back in the future, the palace is not like the house, if you make a mistake, you will be taken advantage of by someone with a heart, you are a smart child, you must protect yourself, if you encounter any difficulties, your Aunt Zhuang will be in Huaqing Palace......"

Xie Shi was like a loving mother, chattering to him a lot, as if he was a wanderer who was about to leave home, which made his eyes warm.

Aunt Concubine Zhuang is also her aunt, not Xia Mingyi's, her mother chattered without a focus, so Chanyi couldn't help but get anxious, "Mother, let Brother Yi go back and clean up, time is running out." ”

Xie Shi let go of his hand at this time, "If you have anything to pack, hurry up, don't delay," Xie Shi thought for a while, hesitated for a long time, and said softly, "And your Aunt Yan, you go back and say goodbye to her, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see her in the future." ”

Xia Mingyi nodded, turned to Chanyi, pursed his lips and said, "Can my sister help me clean up together?"

Before Chanyi could say yes, Xie pushed her to Xia Mingyi's side, and said repeatedly: "Go quickly, help Brother Yi clean up together, I'm afraid you won't be common in the future." ”

Chanyi's heart trembled inexplicably, her eyes just lifted, looking straight into his eyes, gentle, reluctant, with some sad eyes, she hurriedly lowered her eyes, and said softly to Xie: "Mother, you go and discuss with your grandmother and father, I will accompany Brother Yi to clean up." ”

Xie Shi was stunned for a moment, what was he discussing? Suddenly remembered the iron face of her husband when the chamberlain announced the decree.
