After a day's carriage, at dusk, Xiao Xiwei's carriage finally arrived at the Zhongyong Waiting Mansion.

"Father, big brother, sister." Xiao Xichun had already led Mama Xiao and a few stewards to greet her at the door.

Xiao Yan jumped off the horse, glanced at Xiao Xichun with a twisted brow, and said coldly, "Nothing happened in the mansion these days, right?" ”

"No, no." Xiao Xichun hurriedly shook his head.

Although those stewards were dissatisfied with her in their hearts, the second sister spoke before leaving, and left Hongyu in the house, plus Mama Xiao assisted from the side, there was no chaos in the past few days.

"That's good." Xiao Yan threw down a sentence coldly, and then raised his feet and entered the house.

Xiao Yan's neglect and indifference made Xiao Xichun inevitably a little disappointed.

Xiao Xiwei walked up to Xiao Xichun and reached out to hold her hand with a smile.

Xiao Xichun raised his head, and a faint warmth welled up in his cold chest, "Second sister......

"It's okay, take your time, everything will be fine."

Xiao Xichun nodded, "By the way, big brother?" Why didn't you come back with your sister? ”

"Brother, he's back to Yanyunwei." Xiao Xi said lightly.

I'm afraid that tomorrow there will be another turmoil between the DPRK and China.

Sure enough, on the second day, as soon as the early dynasty was launched, the emperor angrily reprimanded the prince in court, ignoring the pleas of Zheng Guogong and Lu Guogong, and confined the prince in the prince's mansion, and at the same time issued a decree to crown the fourth prince Chu Yanzhi as the king of Shen, the seventh prince Chu Xizhi as the king of Yan, and the eighth prince Chu Muzhi as the king of Qin. Although the crown prince was not deposed, the other three princes were crowned at the same time, which was a great blow to the prince's party.

When the news reached the Zhongyong Waiting Mansion, Xiao Xiwei happened to finish embroidering the last stitch of the cloak that had not been completed a few days ago.

"His Royal Highness the Seventh has just finished embroidering the cloak of Miss Yan Wang, just in time for His Highness to give a driving salute." Ziyan said with a smile.

Xiao Xi lowered his head slightly and bit off the last thread, raised his eyes and glanced at Zi's excited face, and the corners of his lips hooked, "You haven't been back for a while, have you?" ”

"Miss, you said this, did the slave do something wrong?" Ziyan put away her smile and looked at Xiao Xi with some grievances.

Xiao Xi pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, "Isn't it because you want to see that...... Night? It's called night, right? ”

Ziyan's face flushed, "Miss, you, who did you listen to?" ”

"Alright, let's go." Xiao Xi smiled and stuffed the cloak into Ziyan's arms.

Ziyan stomped her feet with her cloak, walked to the door and turned to Xiao Xi and said, "Miss, it's really not what you think." ”

Xiao Xi pursed the corners of his mouth slightly and didn't answer, just raised his hand to pick up the tea cup on the table.

In his previous life, the crown prince was not imprisoned so quickly, and there were no three kings in a row, everything seems to be different from the previous life, does this mean that his fate has changed unconsciously? It's just that how could Chu Yanzhi be named King Shen? What does the word Shen represent? When she learned that Chu Yanzhi was injured that day, she could clearly see the tension and pity in the emperor's eyes, which was clearly the look of a father when he learned that his beloved son was injured. However, how is it possible, whether in the past life or in this life, the emperor seems to have neglected Chu Yanzhi's son all along, and it can even be said that he is indifferent......

Just when Xiao Xiwei couldn't figure it out, a shadow suddenly jumped up, and then her arms sank, she panicked, and the teacup in her hand fell down, and she fixed her eyes to see a little tiger standing in her arms with round eyes.

"Miss, what's wrong?" Biyun, who heard the sound, hurriedly walked in.

"Quick, get it away." Looking at the little tiger in his arms, Xiao Xiwei's back was cold.

Ever since she was scratched by a cat, she has always had a shadow in her heart, so she has always been grateful to these little animals. Therefore, when Xiao Xiyang brought the little tiger over, she just threw it to the girl to take care of it, and did not let the girl bring it to her.

"Why did this guy get here!" Seeing the little tiger, Biyun was also taken aback. Seeing Xiao Xiwei's panicked face, she hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the little tiger into her arms, "It's only been a long time, why is this guy so solid." Ah, Miss, look at its eyes, little one, can you still understand me? Miss, Miss, look how cute it is! ”

Xiao Xi glanced at the little tiger with a slightly white face, and sure enough, he saw it staring at Biyun with round eyes and looking angry, and his nervous heart couldn't help but relax a little.

"Miss, it doesn't have a name yet. Why don't you give it a name? ”

Xiao Xi glanced at the little tiger. I haven't seen it for a while, but it's grown in a big circle, and it looks like a ball, "Then call it a ball." ”

"Ahh

"Miss, you see this guy is so cute." Biyun looked at Qiuqiu, and stars appeared in his eyes.

With a round head and watery eyes full of affection and admiration, this little tiger must have regarded her as his mother. Looking at it, Xiao Xiwei inexplicably remembered the child he had lost. If that child were alive, he would be like this little tiger so affectionately snuggled in his arms and spoiled......

Xiao Xiwei's eyes were slightly moist, and the trace of fear in her heart had completely faded, she stretched out her hand and rubbed the little tiger's head, and then held her in her arms.

Biyun looked at this scene and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

At the beginning, the Seventh Prince knew that Miss was scratched by a cat and left a shadow, so he deliberately brought a little tiger over, and asked the girl to feed Miss Little Tiger the milk custard that Miss Tiger had to eat every morning. Therefore, as soon as the little tiger smelled this faint smell of milk, he naturally thought that it was his mother, so he was so close.

The days passed quickly, and after Laba, the end of the year came in the blink of an eye, and in addition to taking care of the affairs of the prefecture, the things that should be used on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the annual gifts for each province also had to be prepared. Xiao Xiwei counted things all day long, and was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground, but fortunately, the old lady also sent Mama Liu out to help.

During the New Year's Festival, the courtiers took a break, and even Xiao Xiyang, who was in Yanyunwei, came back.

Early this morning, Xiao Xiwei had breakfast in the flower hall.

After a while, Xiao Xichun, Aunt Zhou, and the third aunt all arrived one after another.

After the new year, it will soon be Chinese New Year's Eve, and when the year comes, everyone has a little smile on their faces, so as to pray for a safe year.

Seeing that the arrangement was almost done, Xiao Xiwei was about to send someone to invite the old lady, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xiyang, but at this time, a servant hurriedly walked in, "Second Miss, there is a son outside the door who claims to be the younger brother of the third aunt asking to see him." ”

"Has my brother arrived in Beijing? Quick, take me to see. The third aunt was overjoyed and said busily.

The servant glanced at the third aunt hesitantly, then looked up at Xiao Xiwei, waiting for her to speak.

"Second Miss, look at this big holiday ......" The third aunt turned her face to look at Xiao Xiwei, with a little pleading in her eyes.

Xiao Xi smiled, "Since Mr. Qian is here, why don't you please come in!" ”

It seems that she didn't pay attention to what she said to the third aunt that day, otherwise why did she choose such a day to come to the door.

The third aunt was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked the servant to show her the way.

"At this time, why did the third aunt's younger brother come to the capital?" Aunt Zhou raised her feet and walked in front of Xiao Xiwei and said with a smile.

"I heard the third aunt say that it should be for next year's spring." Xiao Xi said lightly.

What a character Aunt Zhou is, when she heard this, she was probably not a little white, she raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile, "It seems that this Qian Gongzi is going to stay in our house for the Spring Festival." ”

"Who wants to stay in our house for the Spring Festival?" Xiao Xiyang heard this sentence as soon as he walked in, and raised his voice and said.

"It's the third aunt's younger brother, I heard that I'm here to participate in next year's Spring Festival." Aunt Zhou explained with a smile.

He also participates in the spring festival! That just introduced Ming Xuan to him, and they also have a companion next year! Xiao Xiyang said with a smile.

Mingxuan?

"Brother, you can't be talking about that Xiang Gongzi, right? Do you know him well? Xiao Xi looked at Xiao Xi with some hesitation.

"No, once when I went to look for Zimu, I bumped into Zimu and told him, but as soon as I walked over, he left. I thought that Zimu should have a good relationship with him. Xiao Xiyang replied.

Xiang Mingxuan and Chu Xizhi?

A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Xi's eyes.

At that time, her acquaintance between Xiang Mingxuan and Chu Yanzhi was also disrupted, but how could he know Chu Xizhi?

Xiao Xiwei didn't have time to think about it, because Lao Taijun and Xiao Yan were here.

Since beating Xiao Ximing, the old lady has not stepped out of Jingyuan for several months, although Xiao Xiwei goes to Jingyuan every day to ask for peace, but most of the time she eats closed-door soup. Therefore, when I saw Lao Taijun this time, I saw that she was much older and haggard, and the hair on her sideburns was all white.

"Grandmother, father." Xiao Xi stepped forward to support the old lady's other hand.

The crowd took their seats one by one.

"Your third aunt, why don't you see her?" Seeing that there was one less person in front of the dinner table, Xiao Yan frowned and said displeasedly.

The rest of the people in this house have arrived, but her aunt has not arrived, like something.

"Master, my sister and her mother's brother are here, and she went out to meet him." Aunt Zhou replied with a smile, and after speaking, she glanced at the corner of her eye, and said, "Look, this is not coming?" ”

The third aunt led a young man who was about seventeen or eighteen years old into the flower hall, and said to the young man next to her while blessing herself, "Xiao'er, don't salute the old lady and the old man." ”

Qian Xiao hurriedly saluted one by one, "Xiaosheng has seen the old lady and the brother-in-law. ”

"Brother-in-law?" Aunt Zhou pursed her lips and curled a touch of sarcasm.

It's just a relative of an aunt, and he dares to call his brother-in-law, and he doesn't care if he is worthy or not.

As if he hadn't heard Aunt Zhou's sarcasm, Qian Xiao hurriedly took a long brocade box from the little guy behind him, opened it and handed it to Xiao Yan, "I heard that my brother-in-law likes to collect paintings, and it just so happens that I have a picture of Wu Kaizhi's "Qinghe Picture" here, a little heart, and I ask my brother-in-law to accept it." ”

Xiao Yan was originally dissatisfied with Qian Xiao's title, but when he heard Wu Kaizhi's "Qinghe Tu", the dissatisfaction in his eyes dissipated a little, "You have a heart, since you are here, let's eat together." ”

"Yes, brother-in-law." Qian Xiao bowed humbly, and then sat down.

Seeing that Xiao Yan was relieved, the heart that the third aunt had been carrying slowly relaxed, and when she raised her eyes, she inadvertently touched Xiao Xiwei's eyes that seemed to understand everything, and the heart that she had just put down hung again.
