The first time, three thousand favors (3)

After lighting the lamp, Xiangbao was sitting in the room eating, and heard Ziruo shouting outside: "Who? Come out! ”

Who else will be there at this time? Xiangbao thought for a moment, put down the bowl and stood up. As soon as I walked to the door, I saw a small figure standing in the shadow of the corridor.

Si Xiang? When did he come along?

"Not yet!" Ziruo stepped forward and shouted.

The little figure moved and walked out. After seeing the child's appearance clearly, Ziruo was suddenly stunned, her face was pale and pale, which was very exciting.

"What are you shouting?" The voice was slightly cold, Si Xiang slowly spoke, and the shelf was fully arranged.

"It's too ......," Ziruo was stunned and speechless.

"You wicked slave who deceives your master, why don't you get out?" Si Xiang looked at Ziruo coldly, and her eyebrows were full of indifference that was not commensurate with her age.

Hearing this, Ziruo hurriedly retreated.

Looking at his indifferent appearance, another evil face appeared in Xiangbao's mind. The child who appeared in the deep palace, Ziruo was so afraid of him, and then looked at his eyebrows and eyes, it was a miniature version of the husband.

He should be the child left by his sister-in-law, so this child is actually the crown prince of Wu.

After sending Ziruo away, Si Xiang turned his head to look at Xiangbao.

"It's not promising." Wrinkling his nose, he coldly reprimanded.

Xiangbao blinked, scolded a little inexplicably.

"You're a woman with a bad husband." Coldly, he said again.

Hearing him say this, Xiangbao almost choked to death from his own saliva.

"Since he spoils you so much, why are you stupidly bullied by a minion?" Si Xiang said angrily, "In this kind of place, even if you have his favor, if you don't know how to protect yourself, you won't even know how to die!" His voice rose higher and higher, and his little face flushed with excitement.

"yes, I see." Xiangbao raised her hand and pinched his cheek, smiling and nodding.

Si Xiang was petrified all of a sudden.

"You ......" he trembled and stretched out his little hand to point at Xiangbao.

"Huh?"

"You're not ......"

"Huh?"

"Aren't you dumb?" Si Xiang let out an angry roar.

"Did I ever say I was dumb?" Xiangbao tilted his head in thought, and looked innocent.

"But when Wu Feng pointed his sword at you, you weren't ......"

"I'm pretending." Xiangbao looked calm, but secretly thought in his heart, Wu Feng? That person turned out to be Wu Feng? Wu Zixu's son Wu Feng.

"You!"

"If you don't pretend, will you be killed by him?" Xiangbao is very geographically natural.

Si Xiang stopped, he made a mistake, a big mistake...... This woman is clearly a wolf in sheep's clothing!

"Are you hungry or not, eat together?" Pointing to the meal on the table, Xiangbao asked very kindly.

Stamped his feet, Si Xiang turned around and left, and before Xiangbao could speak, he turned back again: "You...... You are not allowed to tell your father about the afternoon! ”

Xiangbao nodded and smiled: "That's in exchange...... Come with me for dinner. ”

Si Xiang grinded his teeth and sat down opposite Xiangbao. Xiangbao smiled and gave him vegetables, and when the candle flame flickered, Si Xiang looked at Xiangbao's gentle appearance, and was a little flashy for a while.

"Mother......

"Huh?" Xiangbao looked sideways at Si Xiang, "What?" ”

Si Xiang blushed all of a sudden, and shook his head away with disdain: "It's nothing." ”

"Huh? ......" Xiangbao smiled and leaned closer to him.

Si Xiang lowered his head and ate violently, ignoring Xiangbao with a malicious face. Since then, Si Xiang will take a detour when he sees Xiangbao.

The so-called detour means that Xiangbao often finds himself with a small tail behind him, but when he turns around, he will find that Si Xiang's children, who are not very good at tracking, are hiding......

Sometimes hiding behind the pillars of the corridor, sometimes among the flowers, this time...... As soon as Xiangbao turned around, Si Xiang was startled, and he was desperate to find a hidden object, and when he turned around, he only heard a snap, and Si Xiang fell into the pool.

When he fished Si Xiang out of the pool, his face was pale, he kept shaking, and his expression was different from before.

"Mother, mother, mother......" he cried out again and again, hugging Xiangbao tightly and not letting go.

Seeing that he was about to breathe when he shouted, Xiangbao remembered that day when he said that his mother was in the pool, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and hurriedly picked him up and trotted all the way back to the Drunken Moon Pavilion.

"Ziruo, go find the king, and say that the prince has fallen into the water." Xiangbao said anxiously, and rushed into the room with Si Xiang in his arms.

Taking off his wet clothes for him and wrapping him in the quilt, Xiangbao got up and wanted to find someone to get some hot water.

"Mother......" Si Xiang hugged Xiangbao tightly and refused to let go, as if he was afraid that as soon as he let go, Xiangbao would disappear.

Although he always looks old-fashioned on weekdays, but after all, he is still a child, Xiangbao couldn't bear to forcibly push him away, so he had to coax: "I'm just going to get some hot water, and by the way, see if Ziruo goes to find the king, and he won't go far." ”

Si Xiang closed his eyes and didn't listen at all. Xiangbao had no choice but to hold him and wait for Ziruo's news, and waited until it was dark, but he didn't see Ziruo bring her husband to come.

"They all want me to die, how can they help you?" Si Xiang suddenly spoke, and her voice was very soft.

Xiangbao hurriedly looked down to see that he had calmed down.

"How's it going? Is there anything wrong with it? Xiangbao hugged him, lowered his head and tested the temperature between his foreheads, but fortunately there was no fever.

Si Xiang looked at Xiangbao without blinking, her small body was straight, and for a long time, she suddenly leaned meekly towards Xiangbao and closed her eyes. "Mother......" he said muffled in Xiangbao's arms, with a thick nasal voice.

Xiangbao let go of his hand slightly, only to find that he was still holding her tightly, and he didn't look like he wanted to let go.

"Mother...... I will protect you, no one can bully you, no one can bully you again......" Leaning into Xiangbao's arms, he repeated in a low voice.

The voice in her arms gradually faded until it disappeared, and the hand that had been holding the corner of her clothes loosened. Xiangbao lowered his head slightly, only to find that he was asleep, occasionally smacking his lips, and the nature of a child was undoubtedly revealed. Xiangbao couldn't help laughing, no matter how much he wanted to pretend to be an adult, after all, he was just a child.

With this time, the little tail behind Xiangbao became bold and blatantly followed her, no longer hiding. Yousi Xiang followed back and forth, and the smile on Xiangbao's face became more and more day by day. Especially in the past few days, her husband has not come to provoke her, and Si Xiang often takes her out to play, and Xiangbao is almost dreaming of laughing.

"Hey, what are you giggling at?" Si Xiang's voice came from under the tree.

Xiangbao sat on the branch of the tree, picked a fruit and threw it to Si Xiang under the tree, but accidentally threw it crookedly and hit others.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Seeing the red fruit pulp dyed on the white clothes, Xiangbao hurriedly apologized.

After seeing the owner in white clearly, Xiangbao understood a truth: Happiness always has to be sad.

That man...... It turned out to be Fan Li.

Fan Li raised his hand to brush off the red fruit pulp on the hem of his clothes, and as soon as he looked up, he stayed in place.

"Xiangbao ......" He looked at the woman sitting on the tree, and for a while, the two looked at each other, as if they were separated from each other.

That day, in the backyard of Fan's Mansion, she also sat on the branch of a tree like this, eavesdropping on the conversation between him and Mo Li.

At that time, he said to Mo Li, I promise that I will not give up Xiangbao no matter what. He said that if Fan Li gave up Xiangbao in this life, he would definitely live alone and die alone.

At that time, even Mo Li was moved by his oath.

Xiangbao thought many times about what kind of expression she should use to face Fan Li when she met Fan Li again, but she never thought that when she met again, it would be in such a similar scene.

So she could only sit on the tree in a daze, motionless.

On that day, with a similar scene and the same sunset, there was a young man in white who made a lifelong promise under the tree.

Today, he is still under the tree, and she sits on it.

However, he broke his promise.

There was a small "click" and the branch broke......

Xiangbao fell from the tree, and this time, she didn't scream, she fell so quietly.

"Xiangbao!" Fan Li jumped over to catch her.

"Thank you." Xiangbao politely thanked him and calmly withdrew from his arms.

"You...... Can you speak? Fan Li looked at her, and there was indescribable surprise in her always gentle eyes, "I knew you would be fine, I heard Hua Mei talk about seeing you in Wu Palace that day, and I was still thinking about how to meet you......"

The hands under the sleeves were trembling slightly, and Xiangbao tried her best to maintain the calm on the surface.

"Mother." Si Xiang, who was standing on the side, suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Xiangbao's trembling hand.

Looking at the little hand holding Xiangbao, Fan Li was stunned for a moment, and then noticed the little boy standing next to Xiangbao.

"Mother, it's time to go back." Si Xiang looked up obediently and said.

Xiangbao squeezed out a smile and clenched the small hand in her palm, as if it was all her strength: "Okay." ”

"Xiangbao ......" Fan Li grabbed Xiangbao's arm.

"I want to ...... You've misidentified the wrong person. Xiangbao's voice returned to steady.

Fan Li froze suddenly.

"You...... Don't remember who I am? ”

"I'm sorry, I've been sick once, and I can't remember most of the things I used to do."

The usually gentle eyes were full of pain, and those pains slowly spread, one by one, one by one, tightly wrapped the man in white, the man who could talk and laugh in the face of thousands of troops and horses, and his face was pale, and his eyes were gray.

"Xiangbao......" he muttered, his lips bloodless, "are you punishing me?" ”

The heart jerked together, Xiangbao lowered his head and bit his lip.

"Mother......" Si Xiang shook Xiangbao's hand and rescued Xiangbao.

Xiangbao bowed his head and gave a salute, hurriedly leaving with Si Xiang, walking too quickly, and bumped into a person when he passed around the corner.

It's Shi Lian.

Shi Lian gave her a fixed look and passed by.

Xiangbao heard him gently drop a sentence: "Idiot." ”

"That man...... It is Fan Li, the upper doctor of the Yue country. As he walked, Si Xiang suddenly spoke, "Mother, do you recognize him?" ”

Xiangbao came back to his senses suddenly, and then remembered that Si Xiang was not an ordinary child, he was the crown prince of Wu State, so he hurriedly bent over, pinched his nose and said, "You are not allowed to tell the king what happened just now." ”

"Why?" Si Xiang blinked, "Oh...... You have a private meeting with your lover, for fear that your father will find out and blame you. ”

Xiangbao was pestered by him, and immediately cried and laughed, and only said: "Na, you help me keep it secret, and I will help you keep it secret, and I won't tell the king what happened in the garden that afternoon." ”

Si Xiang had to nod reluctantly: "Then you won't be allowed to see that person just now in the future." ”

Xiangbao smiled and pinched his nose: "Okay." ”

There was a smile on his face, and a tear crossed his heart. From now on, it's better not to see than to see. When he saw it, he was just sad, and maybe he would cause some trouble for him.

As soon as he stepped into the Drunken Moon Pavilion, he saw that his husband was sitting on the couch for a long time, supporting his chin with one hand, and watching Xiangbao walk into the door.

"Si Xiang?" Fucha raised his eyebrows.

"Father." Si Xiang hurriedly knelt down and said goodbye.

"I still want you to come to meet your mother, it turns out that mother and son are connected, and you have already come to see you." Fucha laughed.

The mouth opened slightly, Xiangbao looked dumbfounded, this guy's words ...... What is the meaning?

Si Xiang was also surprised.

"Come on." The husband beckoned to Si Xiang, and Si Xiang obediently approached him, "Your mother has been sick, and I don't remember a lot of things from before, and I'm worried that she will even forget about your son." The husband stroked Si Xiang's head, but his eyes looked at Xiangbao.

Xiangbao is embarrassed.

He...... He's ...... What is he singing again? Did he want her to think that Si Xiang was her biological son......

Si Xiang's eyes rolled, and she walked to Xiangbao's side obediently, and called out "Mother" sweetly.

Xiangbao was about to faint, she knew it, she knew that her husband would not let her worry!

"The widow is going out of the palace to hunt tomorrow, I wonder if the lady is willing to go along?" When Xiangbao was grinding his teeth secretly, the husband smiled and groaned.

Xiangbao took a step back without a trace, gritted his teeth and nodded with a smile, he came to the Drunken Moon Pavilion so openly, and told her that he was hunting tomorrow so openly, he was the king, and if she disobeyed his will in public, wouldn't it be self-defeating?

"That lady has a good rest and recuperation." As he spoke, he stood up, "The widow still has important matters, see you tomorrow." Kissing the corner of Xiangbao's eyebrows affectionately, he looked at Si Xiang who was staying on the side with a smile, "You can talk to your mother." ”

"Yes." Si Xiang nodded hurriedly in response.

Xiangbao gritted her teeth and bowed her head, until her husband's back disappeared at the door of the Drunken Moon Pavilion, and she collapsed her shoulders in frustration. Alas...... Tomorrow......

"Mother." A small voice came from behind him.

Xiangbao felt that his head was starting to hurt, the big disaster was gone, and there was a small disaster. Turning around, Xiangbao glared at Si Xiang, but Si Xiang smiled with bad intentions.

"You know I'm not your mother." Xiangbao said sullenly.

When Si Xiang heard this, a smile froze on his face, and he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave. Xiangbao was startled, and hurriedly reached out to grab him: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's not uncommon for you to be my mother!" Si Xiang turned around and roared.

Xiangbao was stunned, this kid's temper is also a little bigger. Seeing Si Xiang struggling to leave, Xiangbao simply squatted down and hugged him and coaxed him: "Okay, okay, don't be angry." ”

"Don't treat me like a child!" Si Xiang glared at her.

Xiangbao couldn't cry or laugh, but he was just a child. "Come, be good, call to my mother." Pinching his pink cheeks, Xiangbao said with a smile.

Si Xiang petrified, blushing, all the way to the base of his neck.

"Come on, come on, be good, call to your mother."

Si Xiang shook his head and ignored it, and after a while, he snorted from his nose and muttered a vague sentence.

"Huh? What the? I didn't hear you. ”

"Mother......

"What a reluctant look." Xiangbao shrugged her nose, "I'll have a psychological burden if you do this." ”

Si Xiang glared at her angrily: "You! ”

"Huh?"

"Mother......

"Ahhh Xiangbao pouted and fragrant him, and smiled.

Si Xiang's eyes widened, and her face was so red that she was about to smoke.

Such...... Not bad either. Anyway, it's a day to be happy, and it's a day to be sad, since you're going to stay here, it's better to be happy, Si Xiang needs a mother, and she's ...... Need a loved one.

That's it, too.

So, Xiangbao inexplicably had an extra son.

"Mother, do you know how to ride a horse? Would it? Si Xiang looked at Xiangbao with a face full of hope. But after a while, he has been infected by the cheeky Xiangbao, and now the skin is more than three feet thick, and there is no problem with a "mother" in one mouthful.

Xiangbao nodded, of course he would ride a horse, but he was tired.

"Ah, great, you can ride a horse!" Si Xiang's eyes lit up for a moment, and then dimmed again, "It's not like her, she only ......cries," he murmured.

She? Which one of her? Sister-in-law?

Xiangbao bent down, gently cupped his face, and looked at him: "What's wrong?" ”

"Tomorrow, tomorrow I have to ride a horse." He suddenly looked at Xiang Baodao, his little face full of seriousness.

Xiangbao was slightly stunned, ah, can't you ride it? Just looking at the hope on Si Xiang's face, Xiangbao raised his hand to brush the fine hair on his forehead and nodded.
