Yuan Xi frowned, "What's wrong?" ”

"Second son, here" The chamberlain hurriedly pointed to a tall, luxurious and huge dormitory not far away, guarded by maids outside the door, and said softly.

Yuan Xi glanced at it and waved his hand: "You go!" ”

"Yes, second son" the waiter bowed his head and bent over.

Yuan Xi went directly to the gate of the dormitory, and the two maids guarding the door immediately saluted: "Meet the second son"

"Is Mother there?" Yuan Xi asked with a smile.

"Here, the slave will pass you on at once"

Yuan Xi nodded and waited patiently at the door.

After a while, the maid ran out again and said respectfully: "Second son, Madame let you in"

"Good!" After Yuan Xi followed the maid into the wide hall, he saw a middle-aged woman appear in front of him, with a golden hairpin on her head and tassels hanging down, although she was already in her forties, she could still see her beauty when she was young. It's just that the lips are a little too thin, which makes the originally dignified appearance have an extra taste of Lingli and cruelty, but the gaze at Yuan Xi is surprisingly gentle.

This is Yuan Xi's mother Liu, formerly known as Liu Changxi, Yuan Shaozhi's stepfamily, giving birth to three sons-in-law, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang, whose status in the house is extremely high, and Yuan Shao often gives her a few points because of the three sisters-in-law.

"Son, meet my mother" Yuan Xi immediately knelt on the ground and bowed.

Liu Shi hurriedly stood up and said with a smile on his face: "My son, please get up quickly, is he getting better?"

"It's already fine, thank you mother for your concern" After Yuan Xi stood up, he smiled and said: "My son hasn't been here for a while, mother, are you okay?" ”

"Okay, okay, you just came over from the Wuying Palace," Liu asked.

"Yes, my father eliminated Gongsun Zan and unified the land of the four continents, and Lord Fu asked us to go over and work out the matter of triumph" Yuan Xi looked happy.

Liu nodded, with a little excitement on his face, "Now that the entire north is unified, you have to work hard to help your third brother defend the Yuan family's country in the future."

Yuan Xi suddenly smiled bitterly, "Mother, my son is far inferior to the third brother, it is enough to be able to guard one side."

Hearing this, a trace of pity flashed in Liu's eyes, and he said in a soft tone: "Xi'er, my mother also knows that you are wronged, it's not that my mother doesn't help you, but Shang'er is indeed better than you, and your father also likes him, and it is difficult for you to get the position of the son, but you can rest assured, as long as your mother and your third brother are here, you will definitely enjoy wealth forever."

"Er understands, thank you for her mother's love, I don't care about the so-called great cause, but I am worried that if I go out in the future, it is estimated that I will be able to see my mother for a long time" Yuan Xi used his strength to breastfeed, and finally held back a few tears in his eyes, looking sentimental.

Liu Shi was startled for a moment, and hurriedly walked to Yuan Xi's side, grabbed his wrist, and comforted: "It's okay, it's good that you remember your mother in your heart."

"My son doesn't have any talent, I just want to take Mi'er to guard one side for my father and live in peace, but recently I heard that someone is not allowed to take Mi'er out of Yecheng" Yuan Xi's face was full of sadness, and he quietly pinched his thigh, making tears more.

Liu's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, and her natural way was because of the so-called queen's life, and hurriedly comforted: "Xi'er, don't worry, you have given up the position of the prince, Zhen Mi is your wife, life is also, death is also, if anyone wants to break you up, mother will fight with him"

"Thank you, mother" Yuan Xi suddenly looked grateful, and his heart was slightly relieved, this foreshadowing has finally been buried, with his own hint, I believe that when the time comes, someone will stop it, and the Liu family should be able to make a move, sure enough, crying is a big weapon, no wonder Liu Bei was able to rely on this peerless ability to become the emperor's honor, but this is now, he will be strong in the future, that is, others will cry to him.

"Don't cry, it's such a big person" After Liu laughed, he shouted to the maid not far away: "Go and bring the glutinous rice cake that the second son likes to eat just now"

"Yes, ma'am"

After the pastry was served, Yuan Xi gently took a piece, and after taking a bite, he pretended to be surprised and said, "It's delicious"

Liu Shi immediately smiled with satisfaction, "Then eat more"

Yuan Xi nodded hurriedly, and after eating a few pieces, he said indifferently: "Mother, when I came today, I saw Yuan Ping."

"Yuan Ping" Liu suddenly frowned, and the concubine was more unbearable than a slave in her heart.

"A few chamberlains are bullying him, I think he is really pitiful, he must not have a little bit of the Yuan family's great cause, how to say that he is also a brother, I will give him a position as a military marquis, let him go to my Iron Guard Battalion as a soldier, mother, what do you think" Yuan Xi asked casually, with a thick contempt on his face.

Hearing this, Liu Shi immediately said with dissatisfaction: "Xi'er, you can be a dignified concubine, how can you associate with a lowly concubine, this not only damages your identity, but others will also gossip."

"Mother, I think so, if he stays in the mansion, it will only make you angry and affect your mood, and if he has some different thoughts, he will also make some trouble for the third brother, it is better to arrange him in my iron guard camp, and I will take him away in the future and leave Yecheng forever, so that not only will you feel comfortable, mother, but also reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble" Yuan Xi explained with a smile.

Liu frowned, and finally sighed, looked at Yuan Xi and said helplessly: "Don't hide it from me, after saying so much, you just feel a little sorry for him, Xi'er, your heart is too soft"

"Then mother, do you agree," Yuan Xi asked with a hippie smile.

Liu couldn't help but glance blankly, "Promise, it's rare for my son to beg me once, you can take him away!" ”

is just a concubine, and Liu doesn't pay attention to it at all.

"Thank you, mother," Yuan Xi suddenly said happily.

Liu smiled softly, pointed to the pastry and said, "Eat, eat more"

After eating a period of lunch, Yuan Xi respectfully said goodbye and left, at this time a woman wearing a red dress and a golden hairpin, looking pretty, but with a bit of fierceness in her eyes, walked in, looked at Liu and smiled: "The second son is really filial to his wife, and only a few days ago he sent a priceless jade Guanyin, and he was just sick today, so he came to visit."

Liu shook his head and sighed: "Xi'er is too benevolent, compared to Shang'er, he has less of the domineering that an emperor needs to have, I originally hoped that he could live with Shang'er, but now it seems that it is probably difficult, not only can it not help, but it is estimated that it will be a hindrance, so let him go out, be a big member of the party, and mix with a free prince in the future, enjoy the glory and wealth with peace of mind, and don't get involved in conspiracy and tricks."

The red-clothed maid nodded, and suddenly said with a serious face: "Madam is really well-intentioned, but if the eldest prince knows the truth and ascends to the throne, it is estimated that the second prince will not be treated like now."

"Hmph" Liu suddenly snorted coldly, and said with a cruel look in his eyes: "Everyone thinks that Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang were born to me, but in fact, Yuan Tan is the son of the slut before, only Xi'er and Shang'er were born to me, I raised him for decades, but I didn't expect to raise a disaster, wait!" As long as I am here, he doesn't want to become the son of the world, this Yuan family's country belongs to my son, no one wants to take it away"

After Yuan Xi left the dormitory, he turned his head and glanced inside, although this strange mother prefers the third brother and has a somewhat ruthless personality, but she really cares for him from the bottom of her heart, without any impurities, but unfortunately he is not the Yuan Xi he used to be, and he will never let the great cause of the world.
