With the moonlight, the snow fell one after another.

Early the next morning, the Xi Mansion was lit up and down, and the largest flower hall in the mansion had already been cleaned up for the evening banquet. Only the Begonia Courtyard still maintains a rare tranquility.

Xi Yan rested well last night, and after calling the maid to change his clothes, he went to the hill in the inner courtyard of Xi Mansion alone.

It snowed heavily overnight, and many plum blossoms had bloomed on the hill, all of which were white plums, and the plum snow was clear.

The glass world, up and down white. Xi Yan was dressed in a white light robe and walked slowly in the plum forest, just like an immortal entering the mortal dust.

In the shadow of plum blossoms, Xi Yan remembered the scene of meeting An Ruofei for the first time, also in a plum blossom. At that time, he also used plum blossoms to decorate her.

At this time, Xi Yan's location happened to be able to see the gate of Xi's house. The door of the Xi family's mansion was rarely opened, and I saw the people giving gifts coming and going, in an endless stream.

Today is the day of Xi Qingxing's coronation.

Xi Yan looked at the busy scene below, and said calmly: "It's such a big pomp, it's just such a big pomp, I don't know if he can stand it." ”

Back in the Begonia Courtyard, Xi Yan changed into Fang Cai's white robe, carefully picked out a dark purple dress, and picked out a piece of jade that complemented the costume among dozens of jade.

After dressing neatly, the whole person is well-behaved and graceful. The young noble son's face is like a crown of jade, and his eyebrows are picturesque.

"Xi Qing is going to be crowned, presumably the officials have already gotten the news, right?" Although it was a question, the tone of the mocking words was extremely affirmative.

"Yes, early this morning, the house sent a document over." Xi Yun said this, and he couldn't help but feel a little sentimental in his heart.

The young master of his own family is a son-in-law, but he is too arrogant to contradict the head of the family. It was only after three years of crowning that he had an official position.

And Xi Qing is a concubine, not only is it very lively when he is crowned. With the remnants of the family, he can have a good official position without much effort, and thinking of Xi Yan's coronation ceremony, Xi Yun felt very uncomfortable.

Xi Yan seemed to see through Xi Yun's thoughts, so he comforted him, "Xi Yun, nothing in the world will always favor one person." What belongs to us, we will take it back. Seeing him rise from a tall building, but when this building collapses, it is still up to me to decide. Lingjiang for three years, this kind of thing, I don't need to say more... You go and see if the crowning gift for Xi Qing is ready. ”

"Young Master, I..."

"Go ahead."

……

Xi Qing is very proud today, he has been looking forward to this day since he was seventeen years old. Three years... I finally turned 20 and can embark on a career in office.

For all this, Xi Qing's mother, the fourth lady, was also very proud, her face was full of smiles, and she spared no effort to praise her son: "Qing'er has just turned twenty, and she can become an official in the court." Yesterday, I heard the master say that it seems to be working in the Ministry of Industry. Unlike some people's sons, who can't do anything. I can only stay at home, which makes people disgusted. ”

Xi Qing felt that his mother's words were very good, with a proud look on his face, Xuan Xuan even said: "Aunt doesn't know, there is a difference between people, and people like mud only deserve to be trampled under their feet for the rest of their lives." It's like the same piece of jade, if you want to be carved into a vessel, there must be some flaws that have to be torn off and thrown away. Some people... It's just like that flaw. ”

Although it was a day of great joy for Xi Qing, the fourth lady listened to it, but her heart was quite uncomfortable.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, she secretly said to Xi Qing: "You said that there is a difference between people and people, so is there a difference between me and her?" Although your father has been treating her coldly over the years, when it comes to status, I can be regarded as being trampled under her feet all my life. Although you are the flesh that fell from my body, it is a pity that as a concubine, I am afraid that I will not be able to listen to you call me mother in my life. ”

As she spoke, tears oozed from the eyes of the fourth lady, and she said angrily: "If it weren't for your father's bad feelings, he would have abandoned her and helped me to be the main room." Why have you been calling me aunt all these years! ”

Xi Qing's heart was also very uncomfortable, and he comforted: "Aunt Xiu should be angry, one day, we will finally take it over." ”

"Qing'er..."The fourth lady looked at Xi Qing with teary eyes, and begged, "Can you... What about secretly calling me mother? ”

Xi Qing heard his mother say this, and his eyes were already a little red. He hurriedly twisted his head to the side, widened his eyes to prevent tears from rolling down, and said bitterly: "A few days ago... There was a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, who happened to have his biological mother pass away, so he kept filial piety for his biological mother at home. But just because he was a concubine, he was impeached by the official, Your Majesty... and cut him off his official position. ”

At the end, Xi Qing added, "According to the rules, the officials of the DPRK and China can only worry about their mother-in-law..."

The fourth lady didn't expect her son to respond like this, so she stretched out her hand to wipe away her tears, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about this, today is your good day, and my aunt shouldn't cry." ”

……

At the dinner, Xi Qing was arrogant, and the fourth lady was also empty-eyed. Xi Qing wanted to take the opportunity to sarcastically ridicule Xi Yan again, but because his father Xi Yuanshan was there, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

Throughout the banquet, Xi Yan remained calm, and with how Xi Qing and the fourth lady provoked, Xi Yan ignored it without shock, which made Xi Qing's mother and son have a sense of frustration that they had been accumulating for a long time, but hit the cotton.
