When I first arrived at the new shop, I was busy with things, and Xiaoxi had no choice but to come back very late, and it was already dark when I got home. When he walked to the door and saw the conspicuous cyan cloth bag, Xiao Xi thought about it for a long time and took it back.

"Mother, how can there be a package at the door."

As soon as Wei heard Xiaoxi's voice, he walked out of the stove room, and entered the back room with fish soup in his hand, and saw that Xiaoxi was holding a burden in his hand, and he was also a little curious.

As soon as Xiaoxi entered the room, he saw a table full of dishes on the table, put down the burden on his hand, and smiled on his face.

"Mother, what day is today, I like to cook so many dishes."

Wei smiled lightly and placed the dishes and chopsticks for Xiaoxi and himself,

"Silly boy, what day do you think it's today?"

Xiaoxi couldn't wait to start, and she didn't want to put the fish head in Wei's bowl. After thinking about it, he said in surprise:

"Ah, today is my birthday!"

Xiaoxi remembered that today was her eighteenth birthday, put down her chopsticks, covered her face with both hands, and giggled a little shyly.

"Mother, you are tired today, you have made so many delicious things for Xiaoxi, my daughter toasts you"

Wei was also very happy today, the two mothers and daughters were interested, and they both drank a few glasses.

"Xi'er, my mother has nothing else to do now, I hope you can find a good husband."

Xiaoxi patted the back of Wei's hand and smiled softly,

"Mother, don't worry, my daughter will definitely find a good one and come to us to eat."

Wei got up to add food, and saw the burden that Xiaoxi had just brought back, but after hesitating, he still opened it and took a look, only to see that there was a set of aqua blue women's dresses inside, and the fabric was a good satin.

Wei carefully took it out, the clothes were ironed and scattered, the feel was smooth and delicate, the neckline and waist of the clothes were decorated with luxurious pearl ornaments, the dress was cut delicately and exquisitely shaped, the waist size was very tight, and the skirt was also embroidered with beautiful flowers.

Wei is also a person who often does women's red handicrafts, and at a glance, he knows that this dress is not something that ordinary people can wear.

Xiaoxi saw such a beautiful set of dresses, and she was already stupid, and wanted to touch the one that was taken away by Wei and wrapped it up in its original appearance.

"Mother, who sent this, you let me see."

Wei's heart was even more puzzled, not sure who gave it to her, it was impossible for such a valuable dress to be lost at the door of her house, she didn't see it when she went to buy vegetables in the afternoon, maybe this person was waiting in the dark for Xiaoxi to come back and find it, this dress was obviously given to Xiaoxi.

Xiaoxi saw that there was a note next to it, which read: Happy birthday!

"Mother, it seems that the person who gave me clothes must know me."

After Wei Shi saw the note, the chill in his heart also decreased a lot, but his doubts became heavier.

After Xiaoxi read the note, she opened the cloth bag with confidence, only to see that there was a small box inside, she didn't open it but smelled it, there was a sweet smell in it, and then she opened the box politely, and it was full of candy.

"Mother, I'll try it first."

It was too late for Wei to stop it, and Xiaoxi had already eaten one defenselessly.

"Mother, it's so sweet, it's not poison. It's just that this taste is so familiar. ”

Xiaoxi looked at the mulberry paper wrapped in candy and felt more familiar, this candy ----

"Mother, this candy seems to be the one I ate when I was a child."

Wei picked up the candy paper and looked at it, thinking for a while,

"This is Shangyang's Xu Ji candy, which is not available in Liyang County."

"Oh, no wonder I haven't seen it for a long time, mother, Shangyang City is where we stayed for a long time."

"yes, you were four years old at the time."

The two mothers and daughters finally decided to put away the burden first, the dress did not move, and of course the candy was eaten.

Ye Xingchen heard that the dark guard had come to report that something had been given to him, his mood of looking forward to the day finally calmed down, and the joy in his eyes was well suppressed, but the dark guard below still saw that their prince was very happy at this time, it seemed that he had completed his task today very well, which made the prince feel broad. At this time, I heard the master above ask happily;

"She's fine."

"Back to the prince, everything is fine with Miss Xiaoxi."

Ye Xingchen heard the answer that satisfied him, and chuckled and muttered, "That's good."

Later, he solemnly instructed the people below, "Remember, this matter must be kept secret, including the head of Feng,"

After the dark guard retreated, Ye Xingchen took out a candy from the cabinet that was exactly the same as sending Xiaoxi, and said in a low voice, "I returned your candy, do you remember." ”

In fact, Ye Xingchen and Xiaoxi met for the first time not half a year ago, but when he was eight years old.

Ye Xingchen remembered that his mother took him back to his parents' house to visit relatives that year, and it was then that he met Feng Baomei, who was only four years old, who was now Wei Xiaoxi.

He remembered that it was a very sunny afternoon, and his mother took him to a small courtyard that he had never seen before. Since that day, he has learned that the place where ordinary people live is so simple and unpretentious.

The mother concubine and a couple were talking about things in the room, and that couple was Wei and Feng Ping.

The young Ye Xingchen had no interest in the conversation of the adults, so he walked out of the back room alone, and when he saw the things in the yard, he felt that he was not interested, and when he saw the small wooden horse in the corner of the yard, he rode up happily.

He had never seen such a Trojan horse in the palace, and he was playing happily when he heard a soft sound;

"That's my Trojan, you come down."

Ye Xingchen turned around and saw a child with a dirty body, a few sparse yellow hairs on his head blown by the breeze like wild grass in the dunes. There was sugar juice all over her face and hands, and a pair of black and good-looking eyes on her little white face glared at Ye Xingchen, not that she was dressed and couldn't tell that she was a little girl at all.

"Who are you?"

Ye Xingchen didn't pay attention to the little girl in front of him, but was a little disgusted with the dirty Feng Baomei,

"I'm Baomei."

"Sister Bao, I think you will be called a dirty girl,"

Feng Baomei heard him say that he was dirty, of course she was very unwilling to accept it.

"I'm not dirty, my mother washed me, and it was clean."

"What's your name?"

Feng Baomei had already walked to Ye Xingchen's side, and Ye Xingchen had no choice but to stand up from the wooden horse, afraid that she would be so dirty and touch her.

Feng Baomei looked at the good-looking, well-dressed, and fragrant person in front of her, and forgot the unhappiness just now.

"Brother, you are so good-looking, so fragrant. Who are you? I've never seen you, I'll give you sugar candy to eat. ”

Ye Xingchen hurriedly walked away a few steps, a little away from her, and remembered that when he was in the palace, the servants all said that he was the master of the identity, and the mother concubine also said that he could not reveal his name and identity when he left the palace, so he thought about it

"I am the master!"

"Beads!"

Baomei thought for a while, "Your name is abacus beads!" Grandpa Wang next door dials the abacus beads every day, I like it very much! ”

Ye Xingchen didn't want to talk to her anymore, she was not in the same realm, and strode away, while Feng Baomei followed closely behind

"Brother, I'll give you candy to eat."

"Don't call me brother, you're so dirty, I won't eat your sugar."

Ye Xingchen threw out the candy that Baomei stuffed into his hand, which completely made Baomei angry, "You pay me back Tangtang, you are a bad person!" ”

Without thinking about it, the dirty hands beckoned to Ye Xingcheng, who was sitting on a low stool, and a few blood marks immediately appeared on his face.

After a scream, the three adults hurriedly ran out, and Bao Mei didn't have much remorse for her crime.

The three of them were terrified when they looked at the blood marks on Ye Xingchen's face, especially his mother was very distressed.

In the face of Ye Xingchen's crying and the anger of the three adults, Feng Baomei was not much afraid, nor did she cry as soon as other little girls were wronged, but pouted her little mouth and yelled at the three of them

"Humph! He's a bad guy! ”

After speaking, he ran, the little short legs ran faster than the rabbit, and he was about to be caught by Wei, and he slipped out of the dog hole with his buttocks, and Wei shouted anxiously behind, and there was still her figure in the blink of an eye.

Ye Xingchen remembered that Xiao Xixin at that time also softened, she was so silly and cute at that time, and her revenge was also clean and neat, that soft and crisp voice, that sharp short legs, and a strong temper, thinking of these Ye Xingchen couldn't help but laugh lowly, and thought that she was so skillful in her dog hole, and her movements were so funny, she couldn't help laughing out loud anymore.

Feng Ping and Yiyi outside the house couldn't believe it, when did the Nine Princes they saw laugh so heartily.

What Ye Xingchen didn't know was that not long after they returned to the palace, the Wei family left with Xiaoxi, and Feng Ping entered the palace as his guard for more than ten years, and the family was separated like that, which is also the reason why Xiaoxi has always resented her father.

Chen Xiaotian in Zhenguo Houfu looked at his daughter who was arrested and returned, but she still didn't repent, and she was so angry that she really wanted to shoot herself to death Why did she give birth to such an unfilial daughter.

"Ying'er, admit your mistakes to your father, look at you, make your father angry."

Princess Huining saw that her daughter was so stubborn, and she was also very anxious.

"Look at her like this, it's not that you usually indulge her too much, so she is so bold."

"Chen Xiaotian, you are unreasonable, who usually treats her like a baby. Now if you are disobedient, you will come to complain to me, do you have a conscience! ”

She was a princess who was wronged like this, and cried in a low voice, which Chen Xiaotian was very irritable.

"Okay, don't cry, it's my fault, it's my fault that I indulged this ancestor too much, it's my fault."

Chen Xiaotian's wife and daughter also restrained a little, Princess Huining also stopped crying, and Chen Xinying was no longer glaring at Chen Xiaotian angrily like just now, but sat next to Chen Xiaotian with her face softened and lowered her head.

"Ying'er, your father promised you what you wanted to do before, but this time is different from the past, this time it is a royal power struggle, how can my father help the Nine Emperors so easily, if my father did that at that time, it would cause a big disaster for our Houfu."

"I asked you to help Brother Nine quietly, but you didn't want to, watching Brother Nine suffer so much.

Now the others are gone,"

When Chen Xinying thought of Ye Xingchen's death, her crying eyes were swollen and sad, and she didn't understand why her father was so indifferent.

"Silly boy, the Nine Princes died so easily, after saying that he is not as simple and weak as you think. The truth in this is not what you see on the surface, you will understand your father's decision one day,"

When Chen Xinying heard what his father said, he was also a little hopeful,

"Dad, are you saying that Brother Nine is not dead, right, I think so too."

Although Chen Xiaotian was not sure whether the matter was true or false, Chen Xinying felt that even her father thought so, so Ye Xingchen was definitely not dead.

Chen Xiaotian knew that his daughter was infatuated with the Nine Princes, and he couldn't change her mind, so many years, he didn't understand that the Nine Princes seemed to be gentle and soft, indifferent and modest, but in fact he was lonely and cold, and he wanted to talk about his heart.
