On August [-]th, the end of autumn.

Wei Hong held a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace, and invited all the princes and princesses in Beijing to attend, and Wei Xi also attended the banquet.

However, when she arrived, there were only three people in the hall.

Xu Nanzhao, Wei Hong... Xu Ningzhi.

In an instant, Wei Xi seemed to be dreaming back to his previous life.

Xu Ningzhi waved to her with a smile on his face, "Xiaoxi, come quickly."

Looking sideways, Wei Xi clenched his palms tightly.

Xu Ningzhi got up directly, pulled her to the seat and sat down, hugging her arm with a smile, leaning on her shoulder like a bird.

Wei Xi kept a cold face and didn't give her a look.

Wei Hongduan sat on the top seat with his head bowed, while Xu Nanzhao who was facing him was drinking by himself, the two of them didn't care about Wei Xi at all.

Xu Ningzhi poured her wine, Wei Xi tilted his head, pinched the bottom of the glass with his slender fingers and turned around, "Ningzhi, I toast you."

"Okay." Xu Ning said with joy.

Wei Xi held the wine glass and touched it to her lips, staring at her without blinking as she sipped the wine into her mouth little by little.

Xu Ningzhi finished his drink and kissed her next to her.

Raising his hand to move the flagon, Wei Xi persuaded her to drink another glass of wine.

Xu Ningzhi drank several more cups with her hand, fell boneless in her arms, and smiled at her with his face up.

Xu Nanzhao on the opposite side glanced at her, and the corner of his mouth curled up in a mocking arc. He was really a born scumbag.

Rubbing her blushing face lightly with her fingertips, Wei Xi rolled her eyelids, "It's a family banquet, why does Your Majesty just invite irrelevant people?"

Wei Hong raised his head slowly, glanced at Xu Nanzhao, clenched his fist and said, "Xu Shoufu is my grandfather, and also your father-in-law, Seventh Sister, let alone my aunt..."

"What kind of father-in-law, I don't recognize it." Wei Xi interrupted him, and hugged Xu Ningzhi a little tighter, "It's just a concubine, your Majesty is so rushing forward, it really insults my royal face."

The long eyelashes trembled, Xu Ningzhi froze.

"Although Ning Zhi is a concubine, she is also a minister's daughter." Xu Nanzhao took a sip of his wine slowly, "Furthermore, Ning Zhi is the righteous concubine bestowed by the late emperor on Your Highness."

Wei Xi lifted Xu Ningzhi up, "Ask her yourself if she is willing to recognize you as her father? If so, I will divorce her immediately."

Xu Ningzhi was shaken back and forth by her, and he groaned and lay on her shoulder.

"Xu Ningzhi." Wei Xi's voice was low.

Xu Nanzhao raised his eyes slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

"Hmm... my head hurts." Xu Ningzhi gasped as he grabbed the cloth on her shoulders, "Xiaoxi, let's go back."

Wei Xi pulled her back collar to straighten her, his eyes were calm and unwavering, "What are you pretending to be? I don't know how much you drink?"

Xu Ningzhi met her gaze and pursed his lips.

She realized that this was an opportunity Wei Xi gave her.

Xu Nanzhao sat up straight on the opposite side, and his eyes fell on her.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

Wei Xi's breath was slightly heavy, and his eyes became fierce.

"I..." Xu Ningzhi shrank his neck and whispered, "Let go first."

Wei Xi held on tighter, insisting on her answering.

"If His Majesty grants permission, I can also change my surname to Wei." Xu Ningzhi opened his mouth, and Wei Xi squinted his eyes, dissatisfied.

Xu Ningzhi pouted at her, "Give me the whip."

Frowning slightly, Wei Xi took off the soft whip and handed it to her.

Xu Ningzhi carefully pulled out a strand of hair and cut it off with a soft whip.

"Body, skin, and parents." Xu Ningzhi twisted that strand of hair and threw it on the ground, "Cut off justice today, see you later, not relatives."

Wei Xi loosened her collar and took her into his arms.

Xu Nanzhao on the opposite side had a half-smile and squeezed his wine glass tightly.

Buried in Wei Xi's arms, Xu Ningzhi rubbed against each other, "Go back."

It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the flowers are full and the moon is full.

Wei Xi moved out a jar of Naughty Red that had been buried in the ground for several years. It was brewed by herself with Xu Ningzhi when she was 12 years old.

After six years of fermentation, once opened, the aroma of the wine floats into the onion nose.

Xu Ningzhi sniffed, his eyes lit up, "It smells so good."

The maid set up a table and placed the cups, Wei Xi carried the jar to the table like a rare treasure.

"Why do you want to drink this?" Xu Ningzhi sat across from her.

Wei Xi had no expression on his face, "You're happy."

"I'm happy too." Xu Ningzhi smiled and tugged at her sleeve, "This time, I really only have you."

Wei Xi lowered his head, "Haven't you ever thought about it, relying on yourself?"

Xu Ningzhi's face was slightly startled, and then he picked up a wine glass and moved it in front of her, "Why don't you eat minced meat, do you think I can be the number one scholar or general?"

In terms of papers, she is still no match for Wei Xi.

In terms of martial arts, a little flair can kill her.

"You can start a small business or farm." Wei Xi was more realistic than she thought, and raised his hand to fill her up. "You can do it by yourself. There's no need to pin all your hopes on others."

Xu Ningzhi raised his wine glass and clinked with her, "Would you like a peasant woman or a businessman? Or the cheapest one."

"Maybe." Wei Xi said softly, taking a sip of his wine, "If I came from a humble background, I would definitely join the army."

Xu Ningzhi shook his head lightly, "The lower ones study literature, the middle ones practice martial arts."

The lowest-ranked soldiers will die on the battlefield at any time, and the martial arts foundation that Wei Xi thinks is easy, in fact, the lowest-ranking commoners have no chance to learn it.

"It doesn't have to be the upper class." Wei Xi retorted.

Xu Ningzhi just smiled lightly, "There are no groups of slaves, no rich clothes and fine food, and you just work hard every day just to survive... And, Xiao Xi, do you know what life the lower-class women live in?"

The ancient system cannot be changed overnight, and even the princess has the same inheritance rights as the prince for only two hundred years.

"I really don't know." Wei Xi was honest, "But so many people can survive, and I believe I can too."

Xu Ningzhi filled the wine glass and didn't speak any more.

Maybe she will never be as confident as Wei Xi.

Wei Xi reached out and brushed away her scattered hair, "Xu Ningzhi."

"Ok?"

Wei Xi lowered her eyes and said softly, "I have never underestimated you."

Xu Ningzhi, who is like a dusty pearl, has never been humble.

In Wei Xi's heart, she is extremely noble.

"I know." Xu Ningzhi closed her eyes, she refused to admit it in fear, it was never Wei Xi, but the world.

She can't be calm, she wants to stand with Wei Xi in an upright manner, instead of relying on Wei Xi's favor to be the top.

All she wanted was... to be worthy of Wei Xi.

It was easy for Shen Rongnian, but extremely difficult for her.

As the night deepened, the full moon in the sky gradually dimmed.

On August [-]th, clouds covered the moon, and it began to rain in the courtyard.

Wei Xi untied the cloak and wrapped it around her, "Go back?"

They were in the gazebo, Xu Ningzhi shook his head lightly.

"Drink more to warm your body." Xu Ningzhi added more wine to her.

Wei Xi also sat peacefully, the light rain was falling, and she stared at the flowers and plants outside the gazebo, thinking of those sorrows again.

Six years ago, it was also such a rainy night.

She stood restlessly outside the hall, the heart-piercing screams of women inside the hall were endless, pots of blood poured out, and the usually calm father continued to pace.

For three days and three nights, she waited for three days and three nights.

I remember the concubines and concubines who had children in the palace when they were young praised her for being obedient when they talked about the danger of childbirth.

But why is her younger sister so disobedient?Why can't the pain of the mother and concubine end sooner?

She hated that child so much.

It was the child who took away her mother and concubine.

After dawn, the father put his hands behind his back and stared at her sternly, "Stand up straight! Don't cry! You worthless thing!"

She just kept crying, trying to break into the palace to find her mother and concubine.

Her father picked her up with one hand and threw her to the ground. The pouring rain poured down on her head and body. The guards surrounded her, and the ruthless emperor disappeared directly into the rain.

To him, it was just a dead woman.

But for Wei Xi, it was her world that collapsed.

From childhood to adulthood, she has lived under the wings of her mother and concubine. There are so many children in Yan Palace, no one is more ignorant than her.

Day after day, year after year of pampering, she is ignorant and fearless.

For another three days and three nights, she had a high fever.

Amidst the noisy voices, she saw her mother and concubine again, as if she had returned to the time when she was at Cheng Huan's knees when she was young.

Concubine Mu stretched out her hand, wanting to take her along.

Wei Xi trotted and jumped into her arms, full of attachment.

It was just a little bit short, and she could be with her mother and concubine forever.

However, she heard someone calling her.

Turning his head, he saw Xu Ningzhi standing not far away.

The 14-year-old girl's face was anxious like never before, and she kept calling her name, but Wei Xi had a puzzled expression on her face.

At that time, she thought, Xu Ningzhi is really bad, he actually stopped her from being with his concubine mother, he was really a big villain.

Turning around, Wei Xi saw her mother and concubine's face was as white as a ghost, staring at Xu Ningzhi, and then lowered her head, she saw blood dripping down the hem of her mother's concubine's skirt, and a baby girl fell down towards her. grin.

In an instant, Wei Xi's heart stopped suddenly, and she unconsciously let go of her mother and concubine.

"Your Highness! Wei Xi! Wake up!" Xu Ningzhi became more and more anxious.

Wei Xi just looked at the baby girl on the ground.

The baby girl on the ground is growing up slowly, from crawling to walking, from walking to running, growing up little by little, and finally, it becomes her appearance.

The concubine mother hugged "her" and patted "her" on the back like a baby.

The cry of a baby also sounded from "her" mouth.

Wei Xi stared blankly at the mother and daughter going away, the blood on the ground was dripping along the mother and concubine's walking, Xu Ningzhi ran over and hugged her.

"Xiao Xi..."

Wei Xi woke up from the old nightmare and met Xu Ningzhi's eyes.

"Have another drink and go back." Xu Ningzhi looked gentle.

Wei Xi nodded sluggishly, and picked up his wine glass sadly.

"I respect you." Xu Ningzhi smiled.

She covered her sleeves and drank her cup, Wei Xi grabbed her wrist abruptly.

The slightly cold wine slid down his throat, Xu Ningzhi opened his eyes slightly, the person in front of him was so gentle that he treated fragile porcelain carefully.

Between lips and teeth, Wei Xi really wanted to forget everything. Xu Ningzhi took her life, but it was also given by Xu Ningzhi. She saved Xu Ningzhi, so why didn't Xu Ningzhi save her?

Wei Xi after the age of 12 belongs to Xu Ningzhi.

In countless nights of nightmares, when she woke up, Xu Ningzhi was by her side. At that time, Xu Ningzhi was her only comfort.

From the gazebo to the main room, the long corridor seems to have walked for a lifetime.

As the raindrops fell on the roof, Wei Xi didn't want to think about anything, she just wanted to look at the person in front of her, hugging, kissing, being intimate.

All the love and hate in the past are no longer important. She walked out of the mother concubine, but she couldn't get out of Xu Ningzhi. When she was 12 years old, this was her entire youth.
