Fifteen years ago

It was just winter, and the weather was already very cold, and the streets and roofs of Xingyaoguo were covered with a thin layer of snow, and the grass and trees and flowers had already withered.

"Mother, we will be in the capital soon!" A small hand lifted the curtain in the bumpy carriage, and the little head crept out of the window.

Facing this scene of everything sleeping, this young man also felt very happy and novel, he was out of the palace for the first time, for him who grew up in the palace since he was a child, he was released from being locked in a cage, but this time he only came out with his mother for just a few days, and when he grew up, he must often go out of the palace, and the outside is much more fun than the palace.

"Xuan'er, be careful, don't stick your head out, be careful of falling." When the woman saw Xiao Tianxuan like this, she smiled slightly, and then stretched out her hand and hugged the young man, and carried him into the carriage to prevent him from falling out of the window and getting hurt.

"Mother, I'm fine, but your mother, you seem to be very uncomfortable, are you okay?" Xiao Xiao Tianxuan turned around and looked at the woman, he found that the woman's face was a little pale, and her body was trembling, Xiao Xiao Tianxuan asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, maybe I'm a little tired, just rest for a while." The woman rubbed her head and said to Xiao Tianxuan with a smile.

The coachman drove the carriage quickly on the streets of the capital, and when he was about to reach the next corner, the coachman suddenly stopped, the horse neighed, the horse's body rose up, and Xiao Tianxuan and the woman sitting in the carriage also shook.

"What's going on?" The woman steadied herself, lifted the curtain of the carriage door, and asked the coachman.

"Hui Jing Concubine Niangniang, Fifth Highness, there are people in front of you who are pulling and pulling, blocking the road, and the little one is afraid that he will hurt people by driving the horse directly, so he stopped for the time being, Niangniang, look." It turned out that the carriage was sitting on the emperor's favorite concubine Concubine Jing and the fifth prince Xiao Tianxuan, the coachman heard Concubine Jing ask this, he was also a little embarrassed, after all, he couldn't drive the horse directly when there were people in front of him, although the road was wide, but there were stalls on both sides, he had to stop for a while to see the situation.

"Go and see what's going on, and if it's because of the silver, give them some." Concubine Jing saw a middle-aged man dragging a child in red in the middle of the show, although she didn't know why, but she felt that it was probably because she couldn't eat to sell the child, so she decided to help.

"Yes, Concubine Jing." "I'll go down and have a look, too!" The coachman was ordered to get out of the carriage and prepare to go to the front to take a look, Xiao Tianxuan's small body also moved quickly and ran out of the carriage, and he ran towards the middle-aged man and the child in red.

"Your Highness!" Seeing this, the coachman also hurried after him.

Concubine Jing sat in the carriage and shook her head helplessly, her son just likes to join in the fun, loves to take care of things, loves to help people, although Xiao Tianxuan is still young, but his heart is very kind, as long as Xiao Tianxuan is not in danger, she will not stop him.

"You little rabbit cub, you come over to me, let Lao Tzu in!" The middle-aged man dragged the young man to the Lanzha courtyard and dragged him to death.

"If I don't go in, you let go of me, and when my father comes, see how he cleans you up and let go." The young man in red desperately pushed the middle-aged man with his hand, and his body kept retreating in the opposite direction.

"Oh, your father, your father has already sold you to me, if you want to live, you must obediently let Lao Tzu in, help Lao Tzu make money, look at your little face with fine skin and tender meat, you will definitely be able to attract a lot of guests and make a lot of money, quickly let Lao Tzu in." The middle-aged man couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing the words of the young man in red, and he said such a sentence sarcastically, stretched out his hand and touched the face of the young man in red.

"Get out of here!" The young man in red bit the middle-aged man's hand hard, and then he raised his foot and kicked the middle-aged man's abdomen violently.

The middle-aged man was kicked so loudly, he touched his hand and rubbed his aching stomach after a while, and it took a while to ease up, the middle-aged man was angry and raised his fist to hit the young man in red, but he was grabbed by the wrist just when he was about to drop the fist.

"Who doesn't want to be killed and dares to meddle with Lao Tzu's affairs?" The middle-aged man shouted angrily at the coachman.

"You're an adult who wants to hit a child? To sell him into this land of fireworks is simply not as good as a beast! The coachman saw the man's rude behavior and his foul language, and then turned his head to look at the red marks on the young man's face and the tears in his eyes, and the coachman probably understood this.

The coachman's sense of justice arose, and he grabbed the middle-aged man's hand and added a little strength, the middle-aged man was pinched in pain, but his mouth was unforgiving: "Lao Tzu is his father, Lao Tzu can do whatever he wants to him, I want you to take care of it!" ”

"He's not my father, he's a bad guy!" The young man in red immediately shouted and retorted when he heard the middle-aged man say this.

"You little rabbit cub, see if Lao Tzu doesn't kill you, oops, oops, a good man spares his life!" When the middle-aged man heard the young man in red say this, his anger rose, and he scolded the young man in red angrily.

Just grabbed his coachman and broke his hand back, he screamed in pain, his face became iron-blue, he half-squatted and kept begging for mercy, now this situation can only be temporarily softened, wait for these people to leave, see if he doesn't clean up this stinky boy, the middle-aged man thought hatefully, his hand was let go, and the whole person staggered to the ground and half fell down because he didn't stand firmly.

"Today, my wife and young master happened to be passing by here, and they wanted to do good deeds, if you know each other, take the silver and get out quickly, if you say one more word, don't blame me." The coachman grabbed the middle-aged man's collar, and he threw fifty taels of gold in front of the middle-aged man, saying threateningly.

"Okay, let's get out of here, let's get out!" The middle-aged man trembled and picked up the gold, held it in his hand, and said.

The middle-aged man had never seen so much money in his life for so long, he put the gold in his mouth and bit it, and after finding out that it was true, he held the gold and kissed it several times, and then he stood up and laughed frantically, ran a few steps, fell down, and continued to run like crazy.

"Okay, it's okay, you can go home and find your parents!" Xiao Tianxuan lowered his body and patted the clothes for the red-clothed young man, and said to him with a smile.

Xiao Tianxuan was stunned for a moment when he saw the face of the young man in red, he had never seen such a good-looking person, with a thin face, pink skin, a tear mole under the corner of his eye, his eyes were shining, and he was simply a delicate person with ingenuity against the backdrop of a red dress.

"I don't have a family anymore, my mother died, and my father doesn't want me anymore!" The young man in red clenched his fists and said this lightly, as if he was talking about someone else's business.

The young man in red began to say to the middle-aged man that his father would come, he just deliberately scared the middle-aged man and comforted himself by the way, his father, heh, he didn't want him a long time ago, otherwise he wouldn't have let him watch his mother die in front of him, and he wouldn't have been caught by the bad guys and almost sold into Goolan Yard.

"So that's the case, you're so pitiful, do you have any other relatives? I can help you find them. After listening to the words of the young man in red, Xiao Tianxuan couldn't help but sympathize with the young man in red, he patted the young man in red on the shoulder and asked.

The young man in red didn't answer when he heard this, he just shook his head slightly, and his eyes revealed a little sadness.

"Then, then you..." "Xuan'er, what's wrong, why can't you come yet." Xiao Tianxuan was about to say something, when Concubine Jing got out of the carriage and walked to him.

"Mother, the coachman and I saved this little brother, but he has no family and other relatives, so I want to take him back to the palace with me." Xiao Tianxuan raised his head and said to Concubine Jing, he looked at the young man in red, and subconsciously felt that he should be older than himself, so he said a little brother.

"How old are you, beautiful child? What is your name? Where did it come from? Concubine Jing heard the words and looked at the red-clothed young man standing beside Xiao Tianxuan, she looked at the young man Although his body was dirty and his face was a little gray, his eyes were bright and stubborn, she felt that this young man was definitely not an ordinary child, but why he fell to this point She doesn't know, since Xiao Tianxuan wants to take this little boy back to the palace, then she must find out the details of this young man, at least know what his name is!

"I, my name is Mo Ye, I'm ten years old, I'm from, from a small village, my mother died, and my father didn't want me, because I was caught by the bad guys and came here." Xiao Moye looked at Concubine Jing, he felt that Concubine Jing was very kind, and she felt very much like his mother, so there was also a bit of affinity in his words.

"Mo Ye, this name is not good, it's too dark, it's not suitable for a cute and beautiful little doll like you, it's better for you to call Ye Mochen, the beautiful scenery under the ink, how about it?" Concubine Jing touched Xiao Mo Ye's head and said this, the name Mo Ye felt too deep and gray in her, she knew that this little doll must have experienced something tragic, she didn't want him to be trapped in the past, so she wanted him to change his name and surname and start over.

"Okay, thank you, thank you... I don't know what Madame is called?" Xiao Moye, no, it should be Xiao Ye Mochen now, he raised his head and looked at Concubine Jing and replied softly, he began to listen to Xiao Xiao Tianxuan call this woman the mother concubine, could it be that this woman is the mother of the palace, then, should he salute her?

"You just call me Aunt Jing, Xuan'er said she wanted to take you with me, are you willing?" Concubine Jing saw Xiao Ye Mochen so obedient, and a wave of love also rose in her heart, and she smiled and asked Xiao Ye Mochen.

"I, I do, thank you Aunt Jing!" Xiao Ye Mochen replied with a smile, he really liked Concubine Jing, he lost his mother, but he really longed for the feeling of being loved.

"Then I'll go, Xuan'er will take Mo Chen and get into the carriage together!" Concubine Jing smiled and said to Xiao Tianxuan.

"Okay, mother, little brother Mochen, let's go together!" Xiao Tianxuan took Xiao Ye Mochen's hand and ran towards the carriage.

Ye Mochen and Xiao Tianxuan's life after returning to the palace was not very good, because Xiao Tianxuan was the most favored prince, so naturally people were jealous, and they didn't dare to deal with Xiao Tianxuan openly, so they had to put all their anger on Ye Mochen, Ye Mochen was constantly bullied, he couldn't fight back or even talk back, because he was under the fence, he received the favor of Concubine Jing and Xiao Tianxuan, how could he make trouble for them! But in these days of constant destruction, he vowed to become stronger, he continued to practice literature and martial arts every day, constantly strengthened his abilities, and he wanted to make all those who bullied him pay the price.

In this way, another two or three years passed, and on this day, Mochen was practicing martial arts in the courtyard, and he used his strength to recruit and constantly perform tricks against the tree.

"Mochen, Mochen, I brought you delicious osmanthus cake to eat, oops!" At this time, Xiao Tianxuan took a plate of osmanthus cake and ran quickly towards Ye Mochen, but he didn't want to be tripped and fell to the ground by a small pebble on the road, and the osmanthus cake was also knocked over and scattered aside.

"Are you okay, get up quickly, why are you still so clumsy after so long, but where does it hurt?" Seeing this, Ye Mochen hurriedly ran to Xiao Tianxuan's side, helped him up, and made him sit up, and then looked Xiao Tianxuan up and down to see if he was injured somewhere.

"I'm fine, it's just the osmanthus cake, the osmanthus cake is all sprinkled, woo, I finally went to the imperial dining room to get it, it's all wasted, you haven't eaten yet!" Xiao Tianxuan looked at the osmanthus cake scattered on the ground and cried like this, he knew that Ye Mochen was often bullied because of him, and he was often punished for not giving him food, so he went to the imperial dining room today to get some osmanthus cake, but he didn't expect it to fall to the ground like this.

"Ahem, what's here, you can still eat it." Ye Mochen touched Xiao Tianxuan's head and comforted.

Ye Mochen picked up the osmanthus cakes on the ground and put them on the hem of his clothes, and then he ate the osmanthus cakes one by one, with a tear in his eyes, since the death of his mother, only Concubine Jing and Xiao Tianxuan will be so sincere to him, although they are not related by blood, but he feels the warmth from his relatives.

"Woo, Mochen, don't eat it, it's dirty, I'll go find you something else to eat." Xiao Tianxuan wiped his tears while holding Ye Mochen's hand with his other hand to stop him from continuing to eat the already dirty osmanthus cake.

"It's okay, don't take it anymore, I'm full, hurry up!" Ye Mochen clapped his hands, then pulled Xiao Tianxuan to help him and made him stand up.

"Mo Chen, I'm sorry, it's all because of me that you're being bullied, don't worry, I will definitely become strong in the future, and I will definitely protect you well." Xiao Tianxuan hugged Ye Mochen's waist and whispered to him, he promised that he would definitely make himself strong and would not let Ye Mochen be bullied again.

"It's just that your little crying bag still protects me, I'm almost the same as protecting you, okay, I've finished practicing martial arts, let's go play." Ye Mochen removed Xiao Tianxuan's hand, he touched Xiao Tianxuan's head and said with a smile, Xiao Tianxuan, this guy is so weak and loves to cry and still wants to protect him? I don't know where he got his confidence.

"Okay, let's go!" Xiao Tianxuan didn't care about Ye Mochen's words to make fun of him, in his heart, in addition to Xiao Wentian and Concubine Jing, Ye Mochen was the most important thing in his heart, so he would definitely protect him.

Ye Mochen and Xiao Tianxuan held hands and walked together in the sunset, chatting and laughing, and the two teenagers complained to each other and talked happily.

The years are like water, time is in a hurry, and more than ten years have passed, Ye Mochen and Xiao Tianxuan have become adults, their relationship is still as good as when they were children, they depend on each other, and their friendship has not changed.
