Lady Changning

Chapter 220 The Unexpected Woman (2)

Xuan Jing was very grateful to Huangfu Zimian for his thoughtful thinking. Originally, he wanted to visit his aunt after the affairs of the palace were over, but Huangfu Zimian took the siblings over directly.

"Unexpectedly, it has been ten years, and you have all grown up." Xuan Jing couldn't help feeling, it turns out that time is really so fast, so fast that people who are regarded as children have matured.

Xuan Jing raised his glass to thank Huangfu Zimian, and Huangfu Zimian raised his glass knowingly, but at this moment, Xi Yueer grabbed Huangfu Zimian's wine glass.

"Brother Zimian, you drink a lot on social occasions, your health is critical."

Xi Yue'er's abnormal concern made Xuan Jing see something, but after thinking about it, he found it impossible.But Xi Yu's words made him have to believe that it was true.

"What are you worrying about? If you really want to, then hurry up and let Brother Zimian marry you, so that you won't have to worry about your marriage for so long." Xi Yu's words were slightly joking, but it made Xi Yue'er ashamed I couldn't lift my head up.

Xuan Jing was so frightened that he almost didn't even hold the wine glass firmly, and he knew that she had some thoughts about Huangfu Zimian just by looking at Xi Yueer. He immediately looked at Huangfu Zimian, but he didn't refute, and even looked at Xi Yueer complicatedly, which made Xuan Jing Jing could no longer simplify the journey.

"What's going on here?" Xuan Jing asked solemnly, losing the joy he had just had.

Xi Yu was more talkative, and felt that Xuan Jing was a relative, so he said everything, "It's mother. Father wanted to marry Yue'er to Brother Zimian. It was a good thing, and even Brother Zimian didn't like it." Refuse, who knows that mother just disagrees. Later, my father asked the emperor about it, and now it's not only mother who disagrees with the emperor and queen."

Xi Yu's words were relatively brief, and he always felt that something was left behind, so he started the matter from the beginning. At the time of the full moon, she was canonized as queen at the same time, and Xi Yueer recognized Huangfu Zimian at the banquet at a glance, and then became acquainted. Even if Xi Yueer knew that Huangfu Zimian had a seriously ill princess, she wanted to marry him wholeheartedly, but Don't know why so many people are blocking it.

Xuan Jing was not in the mood to drink, and looked at Huangfu Zimian and Xi Yue'er, one of them acquiesced, the other was shy, so there was nothing more to ask.Originally, he was still thinking that Huangfu Zimian hadn't forgotten Xi Changning, maybe he could remind him about the child, but now it seems that these are superfluous, and the anxiety in his heart rose inexplicably, and he even wanted to go up and beat Huangfu Zimian. pause.

Xuan Jing picked up the jug and filled it up for himself, "So I still want to bless you? But let me say the ugly things first, even if you can get married, don't invite me, because I might ruin your auditorium , I can’t utter half a good word.”

Facing Xuan Jing's words, not only Xi Yu and Xi Yue'er were too scared to speak, even Huangfu Zimian was speechless. Is this still the playful Xuan Jing in my memory?How could there be such a serious expression?
Before these people could react, Xuan Jing had already left.Huangfu Zimian silently drank the wine that Xuan Jing originally offered to him, his life has long since lost its sense of reality, and no one would have asked him if he wanted to.

Xuan Jing didn't dare to tell Daoist Qing Yi about this matter, and sulked alone in the room as if he had been abandoned by someone.Thinking about how old he is, he really wants to play with his childish temper and pack up his things and leave.

"Godfather, what's the matter with you?" Zi Jing is a caring child, when she saw Xuan Jing was unhappy, she left her two elder brothers and went into Xuan Jing's room alone.

Xuan Jing put away his unhappy expression, and beckoned to Zi Jing, Zi Jing walked over with peace of mind, and let Xuan Jing pick him up and put him in his arms.Xuan Jing feels the most sorry for these brothers. He originally thought that taking them with him would make them have no regrets, but now it seems that it is not only regrets but also pain.

"Does Zijing want to kiss her?" Xuan Jing, who didn't know what to say, asked while touching Zijing's face.

Zijing was a little embarrassed, he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, "I don't even think about it, and I'm worried that my mother is alone at home, and I think it's very good here."

It was very good for Zijing because he saw Huangfu Zimian, the person who most resembles his father in his heart, his gentleness is what he looked like when he fantasized about his father countless times in his dreams, but this is for Xi Changning It was a burden, so he didn't dare to say it again, he could only fantasize silently.

"You little white-eyed wolf, your mother must be sad to hear that. When the matter here is over, let's go home, shall we?" Xuan Jing couldn't bear to hurt the child. Compared with his older brother Zi Bin's maturity, Zi Jing is a simple child. What's more, no matter which one he didn't want to hurt.

I don't know if Xuan Jing's words are right, Zi Jing thought for a while, and nodded quickly, fearing that his mother would really miss him like this, "Godfather, I miss my mother, let's go home."

At this time Xuanyu and Zibin also happened to come in, seeing how sticky Zijing was, they also rubbed up and sat down next to Xuanjing, "It's not as comfortable as our own home, godfather, when are we going back?"

It may be the shadow of Nian'er. Zi Bin has been worried that it will happen again. He is not afraid, but he is afraid that Zi Jing will be hurt. His mother once said that he looks like her, and Zi Jing is more like his father. There was always an inexplicable gleam in Niangqin's eyes when she said that.

"Then let's go back after Daoist Qing Yi cures the concubine's illness." Xuan Jing became inexplicably sad, these two children are really sensible, I really don't know how many good deeds Huangfu Zimian has done in his lifetime to be like this child.

In contrast, Xuanyu, the little overlord, looked unsatisfied, "It's a shame that I didn't fix that thought properly." The matter of Nian'er bullying his younger brother has not been settled yet.

"Why are you afraid of your weak mother, but not afraid of my father at all?" Facing Xuanyu's domineering appearance, Xuan Jing said angrily.

Zi Bin and Zi Jing looked at them with a smile, and said in unison, "My mother said that because the elder brother and the godfather were exactly the same when they were young."

Now Xuan Jing couldn't say anything. He roughly remembered that when he was a child, he was a person who couldn't suffer at all. Jade is exactly the same.

The atmosphere in the room finally calmed down, and Zi Jing still said weakly, "It would be great if my father was like the prince." But thinking of Nian'er's unfriendliness, he didn't dare to say this loudly, Just hew and hawed in the past.

The brothers and sisters of the Xi family stayed until the evening and stayed in the palace for dinner. Before that, Xi Yueer went to see Princess Jing, who was a princess, and she insisted on paying her respects to Princess Jing every time she came, knowing that she was not welcome. .

The maids in the yard rushed up to say hello when they saw it, "Miss Xi is well." Everyone in the palace knew that the princess was seriously ill, and this daughter of the Xi family had a special liking for the prince, so she was the most likely to marry into the palace. People from the palace, so no matter what, you can't offend her.

Xi Yue'er nodded with a smile, the girl's innocence made the courtyard that hadn't laughed for a long time more angry.She turned around and entered Princess Jing's room.

The woman on the bed was still haggard and lifeless, even if she was awake, it was just a day waiting for her death, and she was also calculating in her heart.But when she saw Xi Yue'er coming in, a strange look flashed in her eyes.

"What are you doing here?" Princess Jing changed her expression and forced herself to sit up.

Princess Jing's dislike for Xi Yue'er is not only because of rumors that Huangfu Zimian is going to marry Xi Yue'er, but also because Xi Yue'er looks a bit like Xi Changning, she is really a sister.As long as there is Xi Yue'er, it seems that Xi Changning is watching him all the time, watching him live sadly.

"The prince said that Brother Xuan Jing came and sent someone to pick us up, and Yue'er stopped by to greet the princess." Xi Yue'er didn't think so much, it was just a matter of etiquette, so there was no sense in these words. What, but for Princess Jing, the appearance of Xi Yue'er will inevitably have something to do with Huangfu Zimian.

Princess Jing sneered, her eyes flickering fiercely. She looked so different from ten years ago, "You have shown yourself in the palace so soon, I'm afraid you don't know that you want to come in and be a little girl?"

Princess Jing always felt that talking like this would not only hurt Xi Yue'er, but also comfort herself in her heart. The person in front of her was her natural enemy, Xi Changning.

Maybe it's because Xi Yue'er is used to not being angry, she's just being polite, that's all she can do.But under Princess Jing's humiliation again and again, she seemed to understand one thing, she was able to be with her favorite Huangfu Zimian because she looked like her dead fourth sister Xi Changning, but what about the fourth sister? Will it have something to do with Huangfu Zimian?

Xi Yue'er's temperament is that of a well-bred lady from an official family, she didn't live with Xi Yu, she is the fifth concubine Xuan Yuniang, plus Xi Jian's love since she was a child, she is naturally not in contact with the arena of fighting and killing, and her temper is also naive pure.But in her heart, she will never forget that the fourth sister Xi Changning's back is cold and without a trace of emotion. How can they be alike in this regard?

"Princess, Yue'er knows that you don't like me. But I just want to live in peace in the future."

"You are such a young woman, you are so shameless. You have not said that you want to marry you, but you have said it yourself. Do you really think he has this affection for you? Naive! Stupid!" Princess Jing still remembers the first time Huangfu Zi When Mian brought Xi Yue'er to see her, she could tell at a glance that Huangfu Zimian looked at Xi Yue'er strangely. It was not because he liked Xi Yue'er, but because Xi Yue'er looked like Xi Changning.At that time, she knew that she was no match for Xi Changning at all, and her feelings over the years were no match for a sudden Xi Yue'er.

Xi Yue'er felt that Princess Jing's words were becoming more and more unruly, even too unsuitable for her status as a princess.Why did Huangfu Zimian marry her in the first place?At that time, she was still young, and she stayed with her mother all day long, completely ignorant of what happened outside.

"Princess, don't get angry, lest the condition get worse. Yue'er leaves first." Although she was also angry in her heart, the teacher invited by her father since she was a child said a lot about etiquette and etiquette, so she must not lose her identity.

But Xi Yue'er may not understand that she looks nothing like Xi Changning except that she looks like Xi Changning. She is well-behaved and polite, and Xi Changning's extreme etiquette is just something used to subdue others in her eyes.

Seeing that Xi Yueer was about to leave, Princess Jing grabbed her, "Do you think you can justly be with him after I die? I am his tool to forget others, and you are the tool to replace others."

When Xi Yue'er heard such words, the hand touched by Princess Jing suddenly became cold and sweaty, and an unspeakable feeling changed in her heart.

Xi Yue'er came out of Princess Jing's courtyard, and the maid of the palace was looking for her, saying that the prince had set up a dinner for the guests. She knew that today the palace not only has Xuan Jing, but also Taoist priests that the prince invited from other places to treat the princess.She sorted out her emotions and came to the dining room with her inherent smile.

When she just walked to the door, she heard the commotion inside. It seemed that there were many children, but as far as she knew, Huangfu Zimian only had one daughter, Nian'er. It seemed that there were really three more boys. Yu actually played very well with the children.

"You three, stop making trouble. Yu'er is your aunt. As for the two of you, I'm called aunt." Xuan Jing paused when he introduced, introducing with somewhat complicated emotions.

The three children didn't understand, and later found out that this beautiful girl, Xi Yue'er, was Xuanyu's aunt, but it's good to call them all aunts, so why did they still have an aunt?Zi Bin and Zi Jing looked at the aunt in front of them, and always felt that they looked like a person.

"Brother, do you feel that Aunt Yue'er looks a bit like a mother?" Zi Jing was afraid that she might say something wrong, so she dared to ask her two brothers in a low voice.

Zijing also thought so, but Xuanyu's mind was the same as his father's. Sometimes he was smart and sometimes confused. When he heard this, he suddenly realized, and couldn't wait to say, "My aunt really looks like my brothers' mother."

What Xuanyu said out of his head made Xuanjing's scalp explode in fright. Fortunately, Daoist Qing Yi is not here, otherwise if he knows the relationship between Xi Yue'er and Xi Changning, plus the current relationship with Huangfu Zimian, he will definitely do it for him. Xi Changning also turned the table over for the twins.

Xi Yue'er was a little displeased. Today, I heard too many people say who she looks like. Anyway, she can be regarded as a well-known beauty, but now she looks like this and that, so ordinary.

"Yu'er, who do you think you look like? Do you know my aunt?" Xi Yue'er asked casually, not caring who it was, just not wanting to be angry and embarrassed.

Xi Yu looked at Xi Yue'er seriously, in fact, he always thought she looked like a person, "Yue'er looks the most like Fourth Sister."

The whole dinner table fell silent because of Xi Yu's words, but the children didn't understand, especially Xuanyu, who was a big kid. When everyone thought about it, "It's still the same surname, both surnamed Xi. And..."

Everyone looked at Xuan Yu suspiciously, and at this time, in order to prevent his son from destroying the plan, Xuan Jing immediately covered the child's mouth, "Children are not sensible, stop talking about such heavy things, and eat."

Xuanyu was almost suffocated by his father, and he managed to catch his breath and eat obediently, but Xi Yu over there inherited the temperament of the Xuan family, and he was really as worried as Xuanyu, "Hey, this Why is the wooden sign the same as Fourth Sister's?"

Because Zi Bin was close to Brother Zi Jing, and just now, he felt that he had never seen this wooden sign before, but Zi Bin was so protective that he didn't let him see it carefully, and now he finally saw it clearly after staring at it for a while.

"That's right, the same as the fourth sister, because the fire burned the fourth sister's wooden sign, so the fourth sister got a new one from somewhere, but this old one has never been thrown away." Thinking of this, Xi Yu, who likes Xi Changning the most, He couldn't help but think of the time when other people acted for Xi Changning.

"The fourth sister was always sick when she was in the palace, and she was also Concubine Lian. No, it should be taken care of by the empress. At that time, I saw her always looking at this wooden sign." Although the company was not long, but in Xi In Yu's memory, there are absolutely many wooden signs.

Originally, the atmosphere at the dinner table became more and more strange. Now Xi Yu's recollection made Xuan Jing a little nervous, but it made him look at Huangfu Zimian with a little hope. If he could say something, even if it was Just a word about Xi Changning.

But Xuan Jing didn't wait for Huangfu Zimian to speak. Xuanyu, who was eating obediently, interrupted again, "The wooden sign belongs to the godmother, and the godmother gave it to my younger brother, saying it belonged to their father. That's why they are so precious, so they won't give it to you." Uncle, look."

Xi Yue'er felt very embarrassed, originally she had a lot to say to Huangfu Zimian, why is she recalling Fourth Sister in the current situation?The fourth sister has been dead for so many years. Although she has the impression that she and the fourth sister are very close, and the fourth sister also takes good care of her and Xi Yu, but since the fourth sister entered the palace, I am afraid that apart from Xi Yu, I have met a few times. She hardly ever saw Fourth Sister.

"Don't mention these sad things anymore. This is the palace. Brother Zimian and Fourth Sister are not familiar with each other. Isn't this embarrassing for Brother Zimian?" Speak like the Lord.

Huangfu Zimian smiled wryly, the incident had passed for too long and too fast, if Xi Yu hadn't mentioned it, he thought he had buried this memory deep enough, but as soon as the word Xi Changning came to his ears, he thought of ten years The way she fell from the city wall before, and when He Lianmu scolded him for not being qualified.

Xi Yue'er is an outsider, she has never experienced so many stories, so she doesn't know that the relationship between Xi Changning and Huangfu Zimian is by no means unfamiliar.

Huangfu Zimian put down the bowl and chopsticks, and unconsciously wiped the purple dragon wooden plaque in his cuff with his hand. What Princess Jing said was right at all. He has been avoiding himself, even if he can't remember anything, he still falls in love with him. She is untouchable.

"If she is alive, maybe one day she will smile like Yue'er." This is why he is nostalgic for Xi Yue'er.

Maybe everyone thought it was impossible, so no one paid attention to the twins' special, but Zijing felt that Huangfu Zimian seemed very sad, so he jumped off his seat and walked to Huangfu Zimian's side, touching his hand, "Do you want some candy?"

There is a small pocket embroidered on the side of Zijing's clothes, which are filled with small sugar pills wrapped in small oil paper. These things are prepared for him by his mother, because he is always sick and sometimes cries anxiously, so mother will give them to him. He put sugar, and when he was sad, he would take out one and eat one. Now seeing Huangfu Zimian, although he tried his best to make the eyebrows look indifferent, he could see the sadness at a glance.

"Thank you, I don't eat candy." Huangfu Zimian was attracted by this well-behaved child, and stroked his soft hair.

"You are the same as your brother. He doesn't like candy, but he puts a lot of candy in his pocket, and it's all for me." When he laughed, everyone found a reference point, and he always felt like someone who is now finally I see.

The ones who like to make trouble the most are Xuan Yu and Xi Yu, who said almost at the same time, "Zi Jing, you look like the prince."

Zijing was concerned about this matter, but Huangfu Zimian, who had been ignoring asking for his name, was attracted by his name. Maybe he didn't know that Zibin and Zijing were originally surnamed Xuan, because Xuanjing was also surnamed at the time. Daoist Qing Yi deceived him into thinking that Xi Changning was dead, and decided to raise the child as his own in order to provide a good environment for the child. Who knew that after five years, Daoist Qing Yi seemed to pass on a password for lost and found, making them look like Like looking for lost children, Xi Changning who woke up was taken down the mountain. Xi Changning changed his surname, so the surname is Zi, the reason is too obvious.

"What are you talking about?" Xi Yue'er always felt that she was neglected, and now the fourth sister was talking about two strange children.

　How about writing about their sisters?This is the only pair of sisters left in this family?Am I doing something wrong?
