Come on, Your Highness

The majestic vermilion gate and the plaque of Wei Guogong's mansion are impressively hung on the high place. The vigorous and ancient characters show a fierce and powerful momentum, which makes ordinary people flinch.

But at this moment, the stone lions on both sides of the gate are staring coldly at the pair of mother and son kneeling under the steps, seeming to be annoyed at the other party's offense.

He Xichao pursed his lips and looked at the still animal ring on the gate in front of him, and couldn't help but move his knees, trying to relieve the tingling pain.But once he stopped moving, the more unbearable numbness climbed up the kneecap.

He bared his teeth, and finally couldn't hold back his voice.

"Xi Chao, is it in severe pain?" The woman beside her showed deep distress in her eyes, she moved her knees to get close to him, and stretched out her hands to carefully support her son's body.

He Xichao's body was trembling, even though he had the mind of an adult, but now he is only six years old, kneeling up until this morning, for such a long time, without rice water in, his body has reached its limit.

He really wanted to give up and cry out for pain, but when he saw the persistence in the eyes of the most delicate mother, he finally closed his mouth, shook his head slightly, and finally squeezed out two words , I want my mother to feel relieved, "It's okay."

However, just these two words made Li Yuechan burst into tears instantly. She hugged her son, choked up and murmured: "Xi Chao, it's mother's useless, mother can't help it, mother is sorry for you...you can bear it any longer." Okay? Your father is gone, we have no way out, really no way out..."

He Xichao heard Li Yuechan's helpless crying, couldn't help but sighed deeply, stretched out his arms to hug his mother, patted her on the back lightly, and comforted her: "It's okay, mother, you have tried your best, I don't care. It hurts, it’s just a little numb, but I can hold on for a while. Don’t cry, if you cry again, your father will also be sad when he is alive, and blame his son for not taking good care of you.”

The son's overly caring words made Li Yuechan's heart sour, and when she mentioned her deceased husband, she became even more sad.If it was normal, she would have cried for an hour, but looking at her son who was enduring the pain between his brows, she finally stopped her tears.

"Hurry up, the door should be opening soon." Li Yuechan let go of her son, looked at the cold front door of Wei Guogong's mansion, and said to herself, "I don't believe that the He family will be so cruel, even if they don't recognize me, they can't help it." Acknowledge the heir of the He family!"

Yes, Duke Wei's surname is He, he is He Xichao's grandfather.

However, He Xichao expressed his helplessness as to why he made such a fuss.

In his previous life, He Xichao was an orphan. From childhood to adulthood, even if he finally gained a foothold in the big city by relying on his own ability, he was still alone.What he envied most in his heart were those ordinary people who were loved by their parents and grew up happily in a happy family.

I don’t know if this obsession touched the heavens, but when he opened his eyes again in an accident, he was hugged by a man in ancient costume who was crying with joy, and thanked the weak and sleepy woman on the bed. , become a father.

In this situation, He Xichao could not only kick his feet and row his hands, but also spit out happy bubbles.

In this life, he has a father and a mother, and his parents are very affectionate. Even in ancient times, he felt immersed in the ocean of happiness.

Thank goodness!Kowtow three times for you.

But this joy lasted until he was six years old. Just half a year ago, his hardworking and kind-hearted father suffered an emergency, leaving their orphans and widowed mother to die.

The He family is not a wealthy family, his father is knowledgeable, he teaches in an academy, and his income is not bad among the common people in the area, but his mother's ten fingers are not in the sun, and she is born as a young lady.

Before He Xichao was born, Li Yuechan spent time at home writing, painting, playing the piano and making poems to pass the time. For this reason, she bought a maid to take care of the daily cleaning and hired a woman who cooks three meals a day. After He Xichao was born, he was the only one who was so nice. The baby I brought also invited a wet nurse.

With food, clothing, housing and transportation plus employment expenses, there is no money left at all.

But even so, his father still felt sorry for his mother, and sometimes secretly lamented his incompetence to the pretendingly naive young son, and let his mother, a young lady who was raised by him, suffer hardships and hardships with him.

Up to this point, He Xichao thought that his father and his mother were a story about a poor scholar who lured everyone's ladies to elope.

Fortunately, the poor scholar did not change his face after cheating the young lady, and still tried his best to keep her from the hardships of life, and the young lady did not regret it. She was carefree every day, with a smile on her face, and looked at her husband with a full expression. sweet envy.

When his father was around, his mother never worried about making a living, so after He's father passed away suddenly, his mother didn't realize it all at once, and spent the whole day in a daze, crying, and shed tears without saying a word, what did He Xichao do? Persuasion is not good.

The six-year-old child had no choice but to take on heavy responsibilities. He resigned from the cooking woman and saved a fortune. Fortunately, the wet nurse resigned when he could talk. There was also a servant girl, Chunxiang, who knelt on the ground and refused leave.

He Xichao thought that Li Yuechan wasn't someone who could do housework and run errands, and Chunxiang was pretty smart, and it didn't cost much, so he stayed.

However, even if the expenses are saved, the family with no savings is still struggling. Li Yuechan can't count on it, and no matter how many ideas He Xichao has to make a fortune, he can't use it in his six-year-old body. Only Chunxiang... can make money. Not on silver.

Two months later, the family could no longer open the pot.

At this time, Li Yuechan suddenly realized that she was not in labor, except for frowning and lamenting, there was nothing she could do to help.

When He Xichao was preparing for the seller, Li Yuechan suddenly made up his mind to take him to Beijing to find his relatives!

Looking for relatives, where did they come from?

It wasn't until this time that He Xichao realized that his mother was indeed a young lady, but she was the concubine of a fourth-rank servant, and that his father really had a strong background. He was the third son of the current king, Wei Guogong, a real wealthy young master!

He Xichao was stunned when he heard the news.

With such a powerful background, why did his father have such a miserable life, and why did he elope?

After selling the house and household belongings, the three of them gathered together the traveling expenses to Beijing, and finally entered Beijing after three months of tossing around.

Li Yuechan is the concubine daughter of Li Shilang's family. She eloped in such a disgraceful way at the beginning. It is normal for the Li family to hate her for showing her face. She is self-aware, and she didn't intend to ask her natal family for help, so she sent a message directly to Duke Wei's mansion.

I thought that instead of looking at the monk's face and looking at the Buddha's face, Duke Wei's family should recognize He Yu's bloodline if they don't recognize her as a daughter-in-law who is running around in secret.

Unexpectedly, after waiting in the inn for five days, no one paid any attention to her.

Li Yuechan took He Xichao to see her several times, but was stopped by the porter all the time.

After many times, they realized that Wei Guogong's mansion did not want to recognize this heir at all.

Li Yuechan was so ashamed and indignant, if she didn't have a son, she would have left with her husband long ago.

In the end, when she was about to run out of money, she made up her mind, and only then did she bring He Xichao to kneel at the gate of the Duke's Mansion early in the morning.

He Xichao really couldn't take it anymore, his knee went from numbness to a sharp pain, like a needle prick, and he felt like he would have to become a Buddha on the spot if this continued.

"Xi Chao, if you can't stand it, you can lean on your mother."

Li Yuechan's hand wrapped around He Xichao's swaying little body, and brought it around her body. Relying on the soft incense, He Xichao felt Li Yuechan trembling slightly.

He knew that Li Yuechan, who had never experienced hardship, was also enduring it. His heart ached, so he gritted his teeth and straightened his body.

At this moment, as if starting from the knees, the whole body was clamoring to strike, and the scene in front of me was blurred.

Suddenly, the servant girl Chunxiang hurried over and whispered to Li Yuechan while panting, "Grandma, young master, the Duke's carriage is here."

He Xichao's soul returned to his place, his spirits lifted, he gritted his teeth and straightened his back.

After a while, the sound of rattling horseshoes and rolling wheels came from far to near, and stopped in front of the gate.

The coachman put down the footstool and opened the curtain, and Wei Guogong got out of the carriage with the help of the servant. When he turned around and saw the three kneeling behind him, he couldn't help frowning.

The accompanying servant said softly: "Since you went up to the present, it has not moved."

That would be three hours.Wei Guogong's gaze left Li Yuechan, and landed on the young child who was trying to straighten his back and did not move. He knelt down for such a long time, no matter how hard he persisted, he began to shake when he looked closely, but the child's expression was still stubborn and he did not make a sound. .

He narrowed his eyes, and his expression suddenly became vague.

He Xichao didn't hear the sound of footsteps leaving, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw an old man wearing a python robe standing in front of him, seeming to be sizing him up, this person should be his grandfather.

Their mother and son knelt for such a long time, he didn't believe that Wei Guogong didn't know, but still let the women and children continue to kneel, he couldn't help but cursed in his heart, this old man is really inhuman.

It's just that waiting for the other party's pity is too tormented. He Xichao licked his lips lightly, his eyes flickered, and he made up his mind to suddenly look up at Wei Guogong. His eyes were bold and calm, and he was not afraid, and his body did not even tremble. up.

The latter was slightly surprised, but saw He Xichao just watching him fall straight to the other side of Li Yuechan, with a hint of pleading in his last eyes.

He Xichao really couldn't take it anymore, and when he closed his eyes and lay on the ground, he thought, if he could shut them out with a hard heart like this, the Duke of Wei's mansion would be completely ruined.

He didn't have the will to climb up to this relative.

Li Yuechan's exclamation and pain were heard next to her ears. She hugged He Xichao in her arms and kept calling, crying and shouting. The pain and fear made He Xichao almost unable to pretend.

But he still resisted not waking up, he was waiting for Wei Guogong's attitude, and he couldn't just give up all his previous efforts.

In desperation, Li Yuechan finally moved her knees to Wei Guogong with He Xichao in her arms. She asked with tears in her eyes, "Master Guo, are you really unwilling to recognize Xichao? The blood of your He family is running on him! Even though Brother Yu and I have made countless mistakes, the child is innocent. If Brother Yu hadn’t left suddenly, Xi Chao was too young, and I, a weak woman, couldn’t support him. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have taken him with me. Kneeling and begging to be ashamed at the gate of the palace! Even if you don't recognize me, you should recognize him? But if you really feel that you can't forgive, well, I will take him away. Even if I am begging for food, I am the only one who is still alive. He raised an adult, and he will never appear in front of Wei Guogong."

Li Yuechan's eyes burst into tears, but her eyes were clear, and after the tears washed away, her eyes became more determined.

She hugged He Xichao and wanted to stand up from the ground, Chunxiang hurried over to help her, but because she knelt for too long, her knees became numb, she couldn't stand up after several times, and even almost couldn't hold her son, and dropped him.

This street is the mansion of Duke Wei, although the people passing by looked here, they dared not come to see the excitement.

Li Yuechan gritted her teeth, shed tears, her lips trembled, and suffocated in despair.

Finally, a soft sigh came from his head, and Wei Guogong said: "Forget it, we'll discuss this matter later, take the child in first, and ask for a doctor."

He Xichao's heart immediately relaxed, but the tears that had been brewing all along also fell down the corners of his eyes.

He will always remember this moment in his heart.
