After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

During the three years in the cold palace, Xiao Xuetang wondered more than once how she and Lin Shaoshu had come to the point where they were so tired of each other.

Xiao Xuetang and Lin Shaoshu knew each other when they were teenagers. At that time, Emperor Yonghui was not yet the emperor, and Lin Shaoshu was not a prince either. He often went in and out of the Xie family, and his aunt was the principal wife of Prince Lin's Mansion!

At that time, my aunt married the Prince Lin as the eldest daughter of the Xie family. Xie was the principal wife and Wang was the concubine. But later, Xie became more powerful than Wang in the court. The Prince Lin demoted his wife to a concubine and promoted Wang to the principal wife. From then on, there was a rift between Xie and the Prince Lin's mansion.

Because of this relationship, Master Xie does not like Lin Shaoshu.

At that time, Xiao Xuetang was recuperating in the Xie family, and later she went to study in the Xie family school. She was very smart and was taught personally by Tutor Xie, and several cousins ​​of the Xie family also liked this sister who was a few years younger than them.

But Xiao Xuetang loves playing with Lin Shaoshu the most.

The young child could not distinguish between noble and humble status, nor did he know the grudges between the adults. It was just because his cousin Lin Shaoshu was the best born one, and he inherited the beauty of Concubine Xie...at that time, it should be the beauty of Princess Lin. When Xiao Xuetang first saw him, she could not take her eyes off him, and later it was natural that the two of them became the ones with the best relationship.

Concubine Xie was weak and had always wanted a daughter, but she only had one son, Lin Shaoshu. So she always treated Xiao Xuetang as her own daughter, even more than Lin Shaoshu.

At that time, Xiao Xuetang was either living in the Xie family or in the Linwang Mansion. Both places were more like Xiao Xuetang's home than the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

At that time, the emperor was only the Prince of Lin, a leisurely prince who was very affectionate with Concubine Xie. The two of them played the zither and danced with swords among the flowers, which was the most beautiful scene Xiao Xuetang had ever seen when he was young.

The situation in Kyoto was chaotic at that time, but the Prince Lin's Palace was the only one that was immune to the storm.

In her previous life, Xiao Xuetang didn't understand why she and Lin Shaoshu eventually became enemies, nor did she understand why King Lin did such a cruel thing at that time.

Even after Prince Lin ascended the throne, he did not even want to give the title of Imperial Concubine to his former wife.

The year when Concubine Xie passed away was the year when Prince Lin ascended the throne. This woman who was as beautiful as a flower withered in the morning sun when this dynasty was about to be reborn.

At that time, the emperor was busy ascending the throne and the palace was in great chaos. He did not expect that a cold would kill Concubine Xie.

The situation in Kyoto was chaotic that year, and the two mountains that protected Xiao Xuetang and Lin Shaoshu collapsed one after another.

Lin Shaoshu lost her loving mother forever. In a sense, the eleven-year-old Xiao Xuetang also became an orphan.

On a rainy night, in the deserted residence, Lin Shaoshu knelt alone in front of the coffin and could not get up. Xiao Xuetang leaned against his frail body and knelt with him all night.

The next day, as the sun rose, the palace bell rang out loudly, and the new emperor ascended the throne. Wang was named empress and her son was named crown prince.

Everyone was immersed in the joy of the new dynasty, and no one noticed the two children licking each other's wounds in a corner of the cold palace.

That year Xiao Xuetang was eleven years old and Lin Shaoshu was only fifteen years old.

Before Concubine Xie passed away, she entrusted Lin Shaoshu to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was a very kind old woman who protected these two weak, fledgling chicks with all her ability.

The two people who shared the same suffering snuggled together for warmth in the cold imperial city. Xiao Xuetang naively thought that even if her parents abandoned her, Lin Shaoshu would be the only one who would not.

On the first and fifteenth day of every month, Xiao Xuetang would go to the palace to accompany the empress dowager on her orders, but in fact she was going to see Lin Shaoshu and bring him news from the Xie family.

After all, the Xie family is a prominent family in Dongshan. Although Taifu Xie was exiled, his influence in the minds of students all over the world is still there. Lin Shaoshu knows that if he wants to turn things around under Queen Wang, he must rely on the restoration of the Xie family.

And Xiao Xuetang is the only person who can contact Xie.

Lin Shaoshu looked forward to her coming every month to wait for news from Xie; and Xiao Xuetang looked forward to entering the palace every month to see Lin Shaoshu.

Perhaps from that time on, things started to go wrong between her and Lin Shaoshu!

"I just returned to the city after completing my father's errand. It's still early for me to report back to the palace, so I stopped by to see you."

"I heard from the people down there that my aunt and her family brought back an adopted daughter... Tangtang, are you okay?"

He asked cautiously...

The two of them have known each other for many years and have been dependent on each other for five years, so they know each other's personalities too well.

Lin Shaoshu knew that Xiao Xuetang, who seemed calm and sensible, was actually a sensitive and fragile child. Although she seemed not to care during the past five years, she actually longed to return to her parents.

Unexpectedly, when Yong'an Hou returned, he brought with him an adopted daughter who was about the same age as Xiao Xuetang, smart and lively. The news spread throughout Chang'an City in just one night, and Lin Shaoshu was very worried about Xiao Xuetang.

The sunlight shone on his face. His eyebrows and eyes were beautiful, but he also had a heroic spirit between an adult man and a teenager.

At this time, he was not as expressionless as he would be later. Even in front of him, he still wore a cold and indifferent mask. Xiao Xuetang, you would never know what he was thinking.

Even though she had already become his wife at that time.

But when facing Ye Jin, he was always lively, either laughing or angry.

Memories of past and present lives were intertwined. At this moment, the emotions that Xiao Xuetang had finally calmed down were surging in her heart. Her body swayed slightly, and her head hurt as she pressed her finger.

"Have you been wronged? Is it because that adopted daughter's wife is so unruly and willful that she bullied you?"

The man on the wall was worried beyond words. Seeing that Xiao Xuetang looked unhappy, he subconsciously wanted to come down, but was stopped by Xiao Xuetang.

Xiao Xuetang tried hard to force a smile and answered Lin Shaoshu's words in the tone of a sixteen-year-old Xiao Xuetang: "I'm not a child anymore, why would I be sad about such a small thing."

As she spoke, her eyes fell on Lin Shaoshu's torn sleeves and she asked, "Did the Third Prince come back from Huaizhou after such a long journey?"

She remembered that at this time in her previous life, the crown prince was mediocre and without moral integrity, while Lin Shaoshu had begun to show his potential and was being valued by Emperor Yonghui. He was sent to Huaizhou to manage the river, and he had specially bid farewell to him three months ago.

I didn't expect that he would come back today...

Lin Shaoshu nodded, his eyes very bright as he said, "Yes, I saw a lot of new things when I went to Huaizhou this time. I brought you a lot of new gadgets, which I will let Ruyi give to you later. Also... Hey, why don't you call me Brother Shaoshu anymore?"

Lin Shaoshu looked at the girl doubtfully, their similar peach blossom eyes filled with confusion.

The girl was dressed in plain clothes, her skin was so white that it was almost transparent in the sunlight, her eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as a painting, especially her eyes.

They both look like their mothers, with a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, they are so similar!

A hint of complex emotions flashed across Lin Shaoshu's gentle and clear eyes.

The girl under the blossoming tree looked up at him, her beautiful red lips slightly curled up.

That smile was as cold as the first snow in the sunshine.

She asked Lin Shaoshu: "Did you meet anyone interesting that you cared about during your trip to Huaizhou?"

Thinking of that lively and bright girl, Lin Shaoshu was slightly startled, avoiding Xiao Xuetang's gaze and said, "The only person I care about is Tangtang."
