19. Birthday

After Xia Yao came back in the evening, she learned that Xia Li was locked up and confined to her.

Lu'er gloated over this, and she danced and said, "Miss, I heard that not only the eldest lady was confined, but even the wife was grounded by the master?" The big and small things in this house have been handed over to Aunt Zhao to deal with? You said that this is the master's birthday soon, how unwilling this wife is! ”

Xia Yao knew that there were still a few aunts in the house, but because Xia Shanghong had always been the only one to favor the Zhou family, those aunts were the same as decorations, and she hadn't seen them much.

"Otoju?" Xia Yao couldn't help but repeat it, she almost forgot about this.

In the original world, 'Xia Yao' had become Xuanyuan Che's concubine at this time, and for Xia Fu, she was a shameful person. So when 'Xia Yao' came to congratulate Xia's father on his birthday with the gifts he had carefully prepared, he was not only sneered at by Zhou and Xia Li, but also kicked her out of the mansion, which made people laugh at her.

It's just this time-Xia Yao couldn't help laughing, I'm afraid it's them who made a fool of themselves.

With Xia Shanghong's birthday approaching, the entire Xia Mansion was busy.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Xia Yao. She was pulled out by Xuanyuan Luo who came to play every day at dawn, and they swam the lake together and threw pots together...... All kinds of mini-games are played. And after Xia Hui's martial arts talent was discovered, he was introduced to his uncle by Xuanyuan Luo.

Not to mention, although Xia Hui is not very good at his head, he is a real martial arts genius. Moreover, obedient enough.

Let Li Zongru call out - if this son is not mentally incomplete, he will become a great weapon in the future.

This made Xia Yao more and more uncomfortable, Xia Hui should have been the pride of the sky, but now he has become like this, this is all the sins done by the Zhou family.

On the day of Xia Shanghong's birthday, Xia Yao finally met Zhou's other child, that is, her half-brother - Xia Zhenyu.

Xia Zhenyu is only seven years old this year, she is a child born to Zhou's pregnancy after becoming his wife, I heard that half a year ago because of his outstanding literary talent, he was accepted as an apprentice by the famous Master Xie, in order to avoid running around, he lived in Master Xie's house for a long time.

Because Xia Shanghong favors the Zhou family, there are not many heirs of the Xia family, compared to a lot of other people's sons-in-law, the Xia family only has Xia Zhenyu and Xia Hui, the only two men, and Xia Hui is still a fool.

As time went by, more and more people came, and the voice of the little guy quoting the newspaper became louder and louder-"Lord Shang Shulin of the military department has arrived...... The Ministry of Rites ......" Suddenly, the voice of the little maid was silent for a moment, but soon it became high, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has brought the Crown Princess Niangniang!" The Third Highness has arrived! The Fifth Highness has arrived! ”

Everyone came here with a hint of excitement, after all, the matter of Xia Li being arrested and put in prison had already spread at their level, but they didn't expect that this small birthday would actually attract three princes.

"Tsk!" One of them couldn't help but complain secretly, "I knew that the gift should have been two more heavy." ”

"Come on!" An adult next to him couldn't help but sneer, "This is for the face of the Xia Mansion, obviously it is for the face of the five princes, have you forgotten about the five princes and the girl of the Xia family?" It's a pity! I heard that this Xia family girl didn't have a good time at home before? ”

"What's the bad thing? After all, they are all from the Xia family, and they still have tendons when they break their bones? ”

Xia Shanghong is quite good-looking, and now when he heard that the three princes came, he was even more overjoyed, he walked in front of Xuanyuan Luo and saluted, "Xia Shanghong has seen the three princes. ”

"No courtesy." The prince took the initiative to speak, and his words were gentle.

The prince's main purpose today is to win Xuanyuan Luo's favor, and it is best to be able to make Xuanyuan Luo's uncle submit to his lineage. You must know that although he is now the crown prince, he is not the emperor after all. And he has been scolded by his father several times recently, and there is a lot of desire to abolish him in his words.

This qiē made the other princes want to move.

After everyone arrived, the troupe on the stage began to sing a small song, babbling and babbling...... Xia Yao, who listened to it, was drowsy, and now although the male and female dependents were in the same courtyard, they were not at the same table, and there was a boulevard about two meters wide in the middle.

And Xia Yao was very honored to share the table with the crown princess Ning Susu.

Xia Yao, the "............" baby was wronged, but the baby had nowhere to say.

When Ning Susu saw Xia Yao, she first talked to her about her parents, and then asked, "Why didn't you see Xia Li's sister?" ”

Xia Yao responded with a smile: "My sister is not very well today, and she is resting in the room now?" ”

"Oh!" Ning Susu nodded, she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything.

Xia Yao usually doesn't go out of the door, as long as she goes out, she is with Xuanyuan Luo, and now her husband is still fighting for Xuanyuan Luo's favor, that is, she doesn't like Xia Yao anymore, and she can't drag him back in this place.

Ning Susu gave up his beloved third prince Xuanyuan Che at the beginning, wasn't it just to be able to stand in a high position? If the crown prince is no longer the prince, how can she look at him.

Halfway through the banquet, the prince didn't get a positive answer from Xuanyuan Luo's mouth, but touched the ash of his nose. The crown prince has ever flattered others like this, he was born as the pride of the sky, after the emperor, he took a fancy to it, who didn't dig out his heart to get it for him.

The prince was afraid that if he stayed any longer, it would not be good if he couldn't control his temper and offended Xuanyuan Luo, so he waved everyone away, and planned to go outside to breathe alone.

Although it is a little inappropriate to leave the table halfway, the so-called people have three urgencies, and everyone tacitly goes.

It's the end of July, and although the weather is as hot as ever, a breeze blows from time to time, and it has a different taste. The prince took two steps forward, and with the breeze there was a thin, kitten-like cry.

Prince Xuanyuan Ye was amazed, who was crying here on this such a happy day?

He followed the sound as he walked forward, and in the corridor not far from the banquet hall, he saw a young woman leaning against the pillar and weeping silently.

The woman was dressed in a tender pink gauze skirt, revealing half of her beautiful face, which can be described as pear blossoms with rain, which is pitiful.

Xuanyuan Ye is a lover of beauty, and when he saw the beauty crying, he couldn't help but go up and ask, "What is the pain of the girl crying here?" ”

Xia Li was still immersed in sadness and couldn't extricate herself, but suddenly heard a familiar voice, and when she turned her head, she saw the handsome face of the current prince, and her legs were weak in fright. She bowed to the prince tremblingly, "Courtier Xia Li, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Xia Li? Xuanyuan Ye thought for a while, and remembered that this was the eldest daughter of Xia Mansion, and the last time he was at the banquet, his attention was attracted by Xia Yao, so naturally he didn't notice Xia Li beside her. He has also heard about the rumors outside. But seeing her so sad now, isn't there something hidden in her that he doesn't know?

Xuanyuan Ye thought so, and naturally couldn't help but ask.

Xia Li didn't expect him to ask so bluntly, she lowered her head, and she didn't know what to say. Secretly his hands were clenched, and he directly pinched out the blood of his palms, his eyes flickered, he struggled, and finally his hatred for Xia Yao was better than a qiē......

Xia Li knew that now that her reputation had been ruined, the big families outside naturally looked down on her, but for the small households, she couldn't look down on the other party, making her a head lower than Xia Yao, which was more uncomfortable than killing her.

And this person, he is the crown prince - the saint of the future, she is so downtrodden, it is better to give it a go.

Even if she becomes a concubine, as long as the crown prince ascends the throne, she will become a concubine, and her child will become the prince today.

At that time, Xia Yao was just a widow without a husband.

With an idea in her heart, Xia Li cried miserably, "It's just that some time ago, my maid committed a crime, but my sister mistakenly thought that I did it, and now on my father's birthday, I was locked up and couldn't personally celebrate my father's birthday, and I really didn't want to go to ............ as a child."
