Come on, Your Highness

The stinky boy He Xichao returned to Xiao Hong's bedroom, Xiao Hong asked, "What did your grandfather come over for?"

He Xichao repeated the words, Xiao Hong touched his chin, "Do you think it's possible?"

He Xichao took the book away from the chair, put it aside, sat down again and said, "My grandfather has a temper as old as his age, is cold and smelly, and his speech is even worse. People can guess what he's thinking, but once he says it, everyone must listen to it, and it's wishful thinking that we will all do what he says."

Xiao Hong listened to He Xichao's evaluation of Wei Guogong, but didn't understand the point, "So, will Concubine Shu listen?"

He Xichao spread his hands, "I don't know, I just think from Concubine Shu's point of view, she went out to visit you in Jing'an Palace just after the training, who do you think grandfather is supporting?"

Xiao Hong probably sensed the smell, he laughed: "My good aunt must be mad."

"The emperor rewarded Xiao Ming and the others with [-] slabs each. Obviously, they came by comparison with you. That is to say, they were beat up by you for nothing, and they had to copy the "Book of Filial Piety" ten times more. , Thinking about it, I’ve always suffered.” He Xichao spoke sympathetically, but his face was gloating, which made Xiao Hong laugh out loud.

"Concubine Shu will not be reconciled." Xiao Hong concluded.

"As long as my grandfather doesn't take a clear stand to support anyone, persuasion is in vain, and he is not a human being. The more he talks, the more Concubine Shu will blame him, and the further her heart will be from her grandfather. We... love to hear it."

He Xichao pulled the fruit bowl by the side and peeled the apples with a knife.

Xiao Hong saw those small hands holding a big apple in one hand, and peeling the skin with the other hand. The movements were skillful and fast, as if they had been practiced. The smooth-skinned, yellow-white flesh looks quite delicious.

Xiao Hong waited happily to be fed, but saw He Xichao approaching him with the long apple peel, "Scientific research shows that most of the nutrients in apples are on the peel, and there is no pesticides here, so you can eat it with confidence. Speaking of me, you seem to need tonic more, or, this is for you to eat?"

Xiao Hong couldn't understand what He Xichao said specifically, but he understood the general meaning. He looked at He Xichao with a face of accusation, as if to say: Doesn't your conscience hurt?I am a patient!

He Xichao felt that Xiao Hong would want to beat him up if he could move, so he couldn't help laughing, took back the apple peel and put it on the plate, cut the flesh into two with a knife, and handed over half, "Hey, just kidding, don't be angry , life is too difficult, I need to have some fun, cousin, let me feed you, come on, open your mouth."

Shen Momo and the others saw such a scene when they walked in. A small child was holding half an apple, and was struggling to feed his little master, while Xiao Hong was biting hard with his mouth open. He couldn't move, but The two were still laughing happily, and this warm and heartrending picture made their eyes moist instantly.

The three knelt down together and shouted, "Your Highness."

Xiao Hong suddenly turned his head when he heard the words, and was stunned.

He hadn't seen them for a long time. At this moment, he still had a mouthful of apple in his mouth, but he stared blankly at the three people on the ground. Suddenly, his nose became sour, tears fell down, and he choked up and said, "Sister Shen ...Aunt Xinrui...Eunuch Chang...Hong'er misses you very much..."

Miss Xinrui came in with a basin of water and washed Xiao Hong's face and hands.

Mother Shen looked at Xiao Hong's scabbing ass, wishing that the wound would fall on her, and muttered: "How can the emperor be so cruel, you are still so young, even adults can't stand forty battles, Your Highness, you Can suffer."

Xiao Hong shook his head, "Sister Shen, don't blame the emperor, it's because I am not sensible."

"If you want to blame it, blame the one in Fanghua Palace. I really think that the third prince will be able to be a stable prince if His Highness is in trouble? Why did the third prince provoke His Highness? Didn't he just learn from her? Hmph, bitch!" Miss Xinrui was very angry, and she hated Concubine Shu in her words. She said bluntly, "His Royal Highness's fever diagnosis and treatment were delayed, and the emperor only accepted half of her harem power. She is really cheap!"

He Xichao had already given up his seat to their master and servant, and he was sitting by the side peeling apples boredly while listening to them.

As soon as this remark came out, he looked up at the aunt, and thought that she seemed to be outspoken and violent.

"You, it's still the same. Haven't you had enough of the hard times at the Huanyi Bureau? You didn't say anything." Eunuch Chang sighed, and looked back at He Xi, who raised his face and showed a big smile, innocently. Romantic look.

"The maidservant is here to talk about it." Miss Xinrui muttered.

Mother Shen didn't care about her, and told Xiao Hong: "Your Highness, it doesn't matter what happened before, you have to be careful in the future, and don't be coaxed by Fanghua Palace again. That person looks amiable and speaks softly. It's nice to speak softly, but everyone has selfishness, you are tripping up the third prince's feet."

Xiao Hong hadn't heard this kind of sincere words for a long time, even He Xichao's words were mainly to wake him up with a spear and stick, and Nanny Shen's gentle tone and comfort made him warm.

"Don't worry, mama, after this catastrophe, Hong'er can understand who treats me sincerely and who pretends to be."

Hearing this, the three of them glanced at each other with joy in their eyes, Miss Xinrui said: "It's great that Your Highness thinks so. From now on, we will stay here in Jing'an Palace and serve His Highness wholeheartedly as before. Slaves When I came in, I took a rough look and saw that the maids of Jing'an Palace are really unruly, poking their heads and smiling, I don't know where they were called, no wonder they couldn't even invite an imperial doctor!"

"I will trouble my aunt to discipline me from now on."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, keep them in good order."

"Your Highness, it's time to change your medicine." Suddenly, He Xichao said.

Miss Xinrui said: "Servant, go and serve."

He Xichao put a plate of peeled and beautiful apples on Xiao Hong's bedside, and said, "Let me go with my aunt. There are some medicines, and they are quite particular."

Eunuch Chang looked at the backs of He Xichao and Xinrui, and asked Xiao Hong: "Your Highness, this He Bandu heard that he is the only son of the second uncle, and he just came back, why would you choose him as your companion?"

Xiao Hong thought for a while, and then said, "It's probably because of the same illness."

Shen Momo's eyes showed sorrow when she heard the words, "Wei Guogong's mansion... I'm afraid it's..."

"The queen mother is gone, how can the relationship be closer than Fanghua Palace? If He Mingrui is still by my side, I will not be at ease."

Xiao Hong's overly calm words made Nanny Shen and Eunuch Chang look surprised.

Shen Momo felt sad for him, but at the same time she said comfortingly: "Your Highness has really grown up, and the empress is alive in heaven, so she might be so happy."

He Xichao walked forward with Xinrui, Xiao Hong was not willing to let the other maids change their dressings, so Xiao Hong's follow-up dressings were all done by himself.

Xinrui looked at his small back, and murmured in her heart. If Xiao Hong suffered this time, it was also because of this child. What about reading with you?

However, thinking that it was He Xi who bravely ran towards the emperor in the rainy night, she recognized this loyalty, and when she took the medicine tray, she said, "It's thanks to Master He's cleverness this time, otherwise His Highness might be in danger."

He Xichao said obediently: "Your Highness's kindness to me is as great as a mountain, and Xichao can't repay me. At that time, I didn't think too much about it."

Xinrui nodded with a smile, and asked, "Do you apply it directly to the wound?"

"Well, use the pot of medicine on the side to clean it first, and then apply it." He Xichao told Xinrui how to use the medicine on the tray, thought for a while, and said casually, "When your highness begged the emperor, he was still worried about Shen Rui. Mommy, aunt, you are not in the palace anymore, he doesn't even have anyone he trusts."

Xinrui was stunned for a moment, and suddenly with tears in her eyes, she said: "Your Highness is really much more sensible, you can tell the good from the bad."

"Why doesn't my aunt stay out of the palace? I heard the maids say that they can leave the palace when they reach their age." Xi Chao asked curiously.

Xinrui walked back holding the medicine tray, and said with emotion: "Don't worry about your Highness, he was coaxed by Fanghua Palace like that, sooner or later something will happen. Before leaving, the Empress Empress asked us to take good care of Your Highness, I How could you be willing to leave the palace? I just didn't expect the emperor to be so cruel as to abolish the crown prince... I'm really ashamed of my empress' entrustment."

"Won't the family worry? My mother always talks about me."

"There is no one at home."

Xinrui and Mother Shen changed Xiao Hong's medicine, and Eunuch Chang said when he saw his sleepy look, "Your Highness, go to sleep for a while, just call if you have anything to do. From now on, we will work as errands in Jing'an Palace."

"Ah."

As soon as the three left, Xiao Hong asked He Xichao: "What did you ask Aunt Xinrui just now?"

He Xichao smiled and said, "So sharp?"

"You never do useless things."

He Xichao didn't answer directly, but asked: "Do you trust these three at all?"

Xiao Hong replied firmly: "I believe."

"You haven't seen them for more than three years, so sure of their loyalty?"

Xiao Hong asked: "Did you go out of your way?"

"Yes."

Xiao Hong rested his arms on his pillow and said softly: "I'm not sure, but they are the last ones left to me by my mother. If they have two hearts, I don't know who else in this world can trust them. What's the point of living?" .”

He Xichao touched the corner of his mouth, and when a familiar sneer was about to appear on his face, Xiao Hong turned to look at him with fixed eyes, "Xi Chao, you are the same. I am very grateful that you are by my side, giving me advice, teaching me how to Get along with my father. But sometimes I lie on the bed and think, why do you choose me when you are so smart? If you don't want to be my companion, there must be a way to refuse. And..." Xiao There was hesitation in Hong's eyes, he pursed his lips, and finally said, "That forest, the place where you appeared, is too coincidental..."

Under Xiao Hong's penetrating gaze, He Xichao was at a loss for words for the first time.

He suddenly discovered that Xiao Hong, who was able to live safely to the age of nine in the palace, was actually very clear in his mind.

Seeing He Xichao's appearance, Xiao Hong's eyes darkened, and then he didn't seem to care and said: "Xichao, I remember what you did for me, so I don't doubt you. Similarly, Shenmao and the others , I am also willing to believe that you are all for me."

He Xichao slowly withdrew his smile, pursed his lips and just looked at him like this, with a complicated look on his face.

After all, a child is a child, even in the palace where people cannibalize and never spit out bones, they still have a little innocence, the so-called innocence.

It is useful to Emperor Tiangan, but what about him, a newly painted and old tree?

Xiao Hong looked down at his fingers, the atmosphere froze, and suddenly he raised his head and smiled, "It's really rare, sometimes I stop you."

He raised his hand and pinched He Xichao's round face.

He Xichao didn't open his hand for the first time, but looked at him, and then said slowly: "My father is gone, my mother can't support me, so she sent me to Duke Wei's mansion. I wanted to drive my mother out. Just at that time, your crown prince was abolished, and He Mingrui didn't want to accompany you as a companion. I just thought, this is an opportunity. So I tried to persuade my grandfather to send me to you, According to the wishes of Duke Wei's mansion, I can also look after you for him, provided that my mother can stay in the mansion safely and have no worries about food and clothing. That's why I knew your whereabouts in advance that day and deliberately waited in that forest. looking at you."

With the hands on his face withdrawn, He Xichao looked at Xiao Hong without saying a word, and asked, "Do you still want to hear it?"

Xiao Hong didn't want to hear it, he could feel that He Xichao's presence by his side was not accidental, but that deliberate arrangement, together with his own actions being counted, made him really uncomfortable.This sadness is not less than losing his crown prince status, because that is his hope to stand up again!

"Listen?" He Xichao asked again.

Xiao Hong's eyes were red, and a word was squeezed out between his teeth, "Listen."

He Xichao continued: "Although I deliberately approached you, I was sincere in helping you. You think I gave you hope, but you never brought me warmth. Ever since I arrived in Beijing, everyone looked at me With contempt and contempt, and my mother only knows how to let me endure, only you protect me behind me like a baby, those forty sticks are really shocking to this place."

He pointed to his heart, "My heart, He Xichao, is not made of steel, it is as soft as yours. I will always remember that moment in my heart, and I will never forget it."

He Xichao was short, about the height of the bed. He stood by the bed, holding Xiao Hong's face in his immature hands, leaning close, looking straight into his eyes, and said the most sincere and sweet words in a soft voice, "Cousin, Brother, Xichao is very lucky to meet you, and I will never regret waiting in that woods. I hope you are strong, brave, decisive, discerning, fearless... Any shining quality that a man should have can appear in you .I want to assist you to climb to the highest position, even if you retire in the end and retire to the countryside, you will be happy."

It was too close, Xiao Hong could see his own reflection in He Xichao's eyes, it was clear and clear, full of himself.

That sore heart was filled with honey, washed with warm water, and melted away, "I...you are amazing, Xi Chao, you are amazing, I don't blame you at all now."

He Xichao frowned, and asked with a smile, "Why are you blaming me? I have been with you from the beginning to the end, and I will never do anything wrong to you in the future. Do you remember what I said on the first day?"

If you don't leave, I will never give up.

Xiao Hong thought to himself, he didn't feel that He Xichao was transformed into a fox spirit like he was at this moment, a few words, coupled with a pure and harmless face, eliminated the last trace of his resentment.

The author has something to say: Yao: Do ​​you know the consequences of what you did?

He Xichao: He will no longer have doubts about me, and in the future no one will use this incident to break the trust between me and him.

Haruka: No, it's the bamboo horse of Qingmei~ You can't escape~
