Chapter 683: Young Xiao Tingchen
Xue Ling listened to it and blessed him, "Cheng Cheng will do what the emperor says." After drinking ice for 20 years, Shaohua is no more, but he never dares to forget the hatred of his heart. If you can take revenge, you should be the first person in the dynasty. β
Sikong Chen wanted to leave, but suddenly asked again: "To Xiao Tingchen, will you feel guilty?" β
"No, it won't." Xue Ling said coldly, "Since ancient times, the rules have been like this, why talk about guilt?" β
"That's good."
Sikong Chen floated away.
Xue Ling sat down in front of the dresser.
After all these years of careful care, the face in the mirror is still beautiful.
She carefully combed the three thousand green silks, her red lips were slightly upturned, and her apricot eyes were as tender as spring water.
No matter how you look at it, it's beautiful.
ββTo Xiao Tingchen, will you feel guilty?
Sikong Chen's words came to mind.
Xue Ling blinked, remembering what had happened before.
When the palace changed, she fled to Jiangnan with a fetus and was rescued by Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan treated her like a jewel, even if she deceived him that the fetus in his womb was his child, he believed it.
He liked to take her with him on his cruise, but that time it was just before she gave birth, and they were in a remote river with no one around, let alone a midwife and a doctor.
Xiao Yuan was so anxious that he was helpless, and the emperor suddenly appeared.
He was good at the art of disambiguation, so he personally delivered Xue Ling.
Unexpectedly, what she was carrying in her belly was a pair of twins!
It's a pity that although the big baby is healthy, the small one seems to be congenitally deficient and is dying when he is born.
At that time, there was no one in the bed, Sikong Chen picked up the big one, and said in a low voice: "Crown Princess, this child will be raised by me." β
Xue Ling was cold, "It's just a bad seed, if the emperor wants it, just take it away." β
Sikong Chen stared at the child, "I named him Yuan Sheng, I will raise him to grow up well, and I will also teach him everything that the emperor needs." Crown Princess, I assure you that he will be the heir of the Great Qi Kingdom. β
Xue Ling, who has experienced palace changes, is no longer the delicate and willful eldest lady of the Xue family.
She said angrily: "They are Yuan Xiao's evil seeds, not my husband's, I'm afraid they don't have the right to inherit the throne, right?" β
She hated Yuan Xiao, and even hated his species.
"So what? You are the crown princess that the first prince is marrying, and when you announce it to the world in the future, as long as you say that Yuan Sheng is the flesh and blood of the first prince, who dares to doubt it? Let him personally overthrow Yuan Xiao's throne is the best way to take revenge. Sikong Chen was indifferent, "Crown Princess, from now on, you must always remember that the child I am holding in my hand is the flesh and blood of the former prince, and he will be the most legitimate heir of the Great Qi Kingdom." β
The old man's words were like bewitchment, echoing in Xue Ling's ears repeatedly.
Gradually, her gaze at the child in Sikong Chen's arms changed.
It becomes soft and warm.
"Husband's child...... He is the child of my husband......" Xue Ling murmured, "He is the child of me and my husband, not an unscrupulous ......"
Having just given birth, the woman was still very weak.
This thought took root in her mind wildly, and it was repeatedly suggested that a woman's beautiful face actually appeared with a gentle smile that only a mother can have, and an obsession with her former lover.
She agreed to Sikong Chen.
But ever since Sikong Chen took away her flesh and bones, she has been lost all day long, as if she had lost everything.
Even in this kind of lost soul, I forgot that there was still that little baby.
She didn't even remember how the baby had survived its dying weakness.
Not only does the baby not bring her any comfort, on the contrary, as time passes, she misses the big baby more and more, and even gradually begins to anger the little one.
In the dead of night, she would hold the swaddling clothes expressionlessly, "Your brother, should be as old as you, right?" You live in the Xiao family, you are taken care of by a nurse and a maidservant, and accompanied by your biological mother, but your brother has nothing...... At a young age, you have to endure hardships with the emperor, and you even need to take on the mission of revenge early, it's really pitiful......"
She muttered, her eyes complicated and cruel, "Xiao Tingchen, you are being strengthened by my Yuan Xiao. The things that were born after the female should not have lived in the world...... I thought you wouldn't even live for two hours, but why did you stubbornly survive, why didn't you die? β
Deep and lonely, the moonlight is cold.
In the bed tent, the woman was quietly stuck.
The child in the swaddling clothes slept sweetly, his little face was white, tender and delicate, and his eyebrows and eyes looked like Yuan Xiao.
"Why don't you die?"
The woman smiled cruelly and suddenly reached out to pinch the child!
The baby woke up from his sleep, waving his fleshy little hands and crying desperately.
But the nurses and maidservants who were waiting were sent away, and let him cry to the heart's content, and there would be no one to help him.
Under Xue Ling's abuse, he miraculously survived day by day.
He was naturally intelligent and precocious, and by the time he was four years old, he had already begun to understand.
He thought that he was not good enough to make his mother angry.
So he tried his best to show himself, and he didn't feel like a child.
He washed clothes, shoes and socks for the grandmother in the yard, and helped the kitchen lady to make a fire and choose vegetables.
He secretly ran out of the Xiao Mansion.
Walking through the streets and alleys, there are a lot of rock sugar gourds and flower cakes sold on the roadside.
He was so hungry that he stared at the rock sugar gourd and drooled.
The old man who bought the sugar gourd smiled and asked him if he wanted to have a bunch, he licked his mouth and immediately waved his hand, "Don't, Chenchen wants to save money to buy rouge for his mother!" Chenchen is well-behaved and filial, and her mother will like Chenchen! β
He was as happy as a puppy, naively thinking that as long as he was good to his mother, his mother would like him.
He bought a box of rouge with the copper plates he had worked so hard to save, intending to give it to her on his mother's birthday.
Early that morning, Xue Ling sat in front of the dresser and combed her hair.
He ran in tremblingly, grabbed Xue Ling's skirt with his little hand, raised his dirty little face, and smiled well-behaved and cute, "Mother, today is your birthday, Chenchen bought you a gift......
As if offering a treasure, he carefully took out the box of rouge.
He was still young, and he didn't know that rouge gouache was also good and bad.
He only has dozens of copper plates, and the rouge he bought is naturally the most inferior kind.
But in his eyes, it was the best thing he could come up with.
Xue Ling didn't even look at him.
I don't like it......
I don't like this unruly species anyway......
Every time she saw him dangling under her nose, she couldn't help but think of her Sheng'er.
Her Sheng'er doesn't know where to endure hardship, but this evil seed lives so easily......
She hates it, she hates it!
"Mother!"
The young Xiao Tingchen tugged at her skirt with one hand and held the rouge box high with the other.
He was still looking up at his dirty little face, his eyes were surprisingly clean and bright, "Mother, do you like the rouge sent by Chenchen?" β
Xue Ling turned to him expressionlessly.
She picked up the rouge in the child's expectant gaze,
And then smash to the ground mercilessly!
