He went over and took her into his arms, his broad, slender palm caressing the girl's gardenia-scented hair.

"Taifu?"

Meng Qing was accustomed to his embrace and didn't feel anything wrong.

Xiao Yan said in a deep voice: "Don't speak, let the minister hug for a while, and it will be fine for a while......"

She took the initiative to meet her hands, went around his waist, and hugged him tightly.

Such a hug is very reassuring and comfortable.

The daylight shone through the window paper, spilling on the young girl's white cheeks, and occasionally the dust could be seen swirling in the air.

After hugging him for a long time, Xiao Yan never let go, but Meng Qing's neck was still a little sore.

She said, "Taifu, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xiao Yan opened her hazy eyes, and her palms were so intense that she wanted to rub her into her body.

He stared at the jade brick floor, smooth as a fake.

"Your Majesty, Weichen...... Would it be okay to tell you a story? ”

Meng Qing didn't know why, "Okay." ”

"Once upon a time ......"

In the spring of the second year of Zhende of the Great Jin Dynasty, Pei Empress Pei Tingwan gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, and the Jin Emperor was very pleased, and gave the name "Mao Chi", which was taken from "I will resign from the sea, and the water scales are clear and the pond is clear." ”

Originally, as the eldest son of the emperor, Xiao Haochi was very favored, and he was expected by the Jin Emperor in the palace and the queen's expectations.

Until the night when Empress Pei was diagnosed as pregnant again, the entire harem was pleasantly surprised.

Emperor Jin hugged Empress Pei and said happily: "I already have a pond, and I hope this baby is a princess." ”

Empress Pei stroked her flat lower abdomen and looked like a mother.

"What did the emperor say, where is it good to give birth to a princess, if you want to give birth, you will have to give birth to a little prince to the emperor!"

"Okay, well, if you want to give birth later, this baby must be a little prince again."

Later, Pei Tingwan's belly gradually grew bigger.

She led Xiao Haochi, who was only five years old, to play outside the hall, and she called Xiao Xiaochichi over to talk.

Pei Tingwan wiped the fine sweat that appeared on Xiao Haochi's face, and said gently: "Maochi, do you want the queen mother's belly to be a sister or a younger brother?" ”

Xiao Haochi blinked his big eyes, looked at his mother's round belly, pulled up a smile, and said in a milky voice: "Erchen wants a sister, but he doesn't want a younger brother!" ”

After listening to Xiao Haochi's words, Pei Tingwan's face turned pale for a moment.

"Isn't it good for the queen mother to give you a younger brother?"

"But the queen mother, my sister is more cute......"

Pei Tingwan's heart sank to the bottom of the sea all of a sudden, and it was cold.

She said, "Xiao Haochi! Do you think that after you have a younger brother, someone will compete with you for the throne, yes or no? ”

Xiao Haochi was frightened and quickly shook his head.

"No, the queen mother, the son didn't think so......"

"It's clear that at a young age, the heart is so vicious, how did you get it when you grow up? If a prince is born in this palace, do you still want to strangle him? ”

"Queen Mother, Erchen didn't have it, how could Erchen kill his younger brother......"

When Pei Tingwan heard him crying, he was so irritable that he got up, pushed him away, and entered the hall alone.

Joan of Arc in the winter of the seventh year.

Empress Pei gave birth to the second son of the emperor, and the entire royal family of the Jin Kingdom, which originally belonged to Xiao Haochi's love, was all transferred to the head of the second son of the emperor.

Although Emperor Jin and Empress Pei didn't pay much attention to him, he still worked very hard, did his obligations and duties as his eldest son, reviewed his homework every day, rode horses and archery, and the results of his talent and hard work far exceeded several times that of his peers.

But Queen Pei became more and more cruel to him.

She thinks that Xiao Haochi is working so hard to steal the limelight with her younger brother Xiao Chuji, and Xiao Haochi's hard work is trying her best to keep her future crown prince's throne, worried that Xiao Chuji will rob him of his position.

She felt that Xiao Haochi didn't need to be so deliberately wary of them at all, but it was a pity that the child was born a bad seed, and she wanted to teach him, but Xiao Haochi ran away every time she saw her, and didn't give her a chance to be a mother at all.

Sure enough, she guessed correctly.

Xiao Haochi has already separated from her.

Joan of Arc 12 years.

Emperor Jin decided to choose one of several princes to lurk in the state of Chu, intending to turn the state upside down.

After careful consideration, he determined Xiao Chuji, the second son of the emperor.

As soon as Empress Pei was told about this, she became angry.

"Your Majesty! Chu Ji is only five years old, you let a five-year-old child go undercover in that distant Chu country? Are you crazy? ”

Emperor Jin frowned, "I have already thought about this matter, and no one can change it, so it was decided." ”

Empress Pei broke down and cried, and quickly fell to her knees, begging him to change his mind.

"Your Majesty, the concubines beg you! Chu Ji is only five years old, if he wants to go, he should go to Maochi, Maochi is now ten years old, he will definitely be able to lay a foundation in Chu State, and live up to the emperor's entrustment! ”

Emperor Jin sank his face and said, "No! Mao Chi is the eldest son of Emperor Chang, how can he go to the Chu State to lurk? He is the hope of the future of the Jin Kingdom, if he goes like this, what accident happens, and who will inherit the throne in the future? ”

"Without Xiao Haochi, there is also Xiao Chuji!"

A word to wake up the person in the dream, after Emperor Jin considered it, he did change his mind and secretly sent Xiao Haochi to Tingzhou in Chu State.

Maybe in his eyes, without an heir, there will be a second, third, and fourth, and it doesn't matter which son he has, as long as he has an heir.

In the eyes of Queen Pei, she doesn't care more about Xiao Haochi's life and death than anyone else, she only has Xiao Chuji in her eyes.

This son of hers, Xiao Haochi, is as if he is not her own, strange and indifferent, selfish and ruthless.

Winter of the same year.

Xiao Haochi did come to Tingzhou in Chu State and was fostered in a childless family.

The couple was very surprised to see Xiao Haochi at first, how could they not like such a good-looking and smart doll.

Occasionally, there would be secret guards who would monitor and protect him, and would report all his movements to Emperor Jin and Empress Pei.

Xiao Haochi was a stranger to the couple, and after coming to this place, he became more and more reticent and did not like to talk.

It was this woman who untied the knot in his heart, treated him very well, and called him gently.

- Yan'er, come here.

- Yan'er, come and see what your mother has made for you, this is Tingzhou's snack "spring rolls", try it.

- Why are you reading again, it's so late, let's stop reading it first, let's rest first, even if Yan'er is not productive, your father and I can afford to support you.

- Yan'er, this child is really sensible, how good it would be if he could be born in my womb, then I can take good care of him. How can you say that this child is so silent, even though he is only ten years old, but he lives like an adult, which is strange and distressing.

- Yes, I feel very sorry for him when I see it.

After reading the book, Xiao Haochi closed it, turned to look at the woman, and said, "Mother, I want to eat spring rolls." ”
