From the time when Qi Xiao didn't know what to remember, her mother rarely showed a smile.

Her father died in battle as soon as she was born, and she became the last blood of the King Qi family. She and her mother were supposed to be orphans and widows, but luckily Long En was brought into the palace and named a princess.

She has a special status in the palace, even when Emperor Xianxiang touched her head kindly, pity and defense flashed in his eyes.

Qi Wang's family shed the last drop of blood for the Dayu Dynasty, and they could not exchange the emperor's trust in the end.

Perhaps the young Qi Xiao loved to laugh. In her vague memory, once Chu Ping took her to play in the street, she rode on his neck with a candy painting in her hand, and jumped over the crowd to see a man letting a The monkey turned somersaults until the monkey snatched the corn out of the entertainer's mouth. She licked the sugar painting in her hand and giggled.

The man also smiled heartily, and when he walked back to the palace, he said: "Whatever my Xiao'er wants, uncle will give it to you."

Unexpectedly, many years later, the man gave her the entire Dayu River Mountain.

For a long time, Chu Xinzi often sat in a lonely figure under the moon, humming an unknown piece of music, and Qi Xiao always thought that she was missing her father whom she had never met.

Once trying to make Chu Xinzi happy, she learned the trick of turning a flower rope from a court lady, and tried her best to turn a vase out, thinking that she could make Chu Xinzi happy, but she just smiled lightly, and there was always an indelible worry in her eyes.

Qi Xiao seems to have long been used to Chu Xinzi's character of rejecting others, until by chance, she went to Jingkun Palace with Chu Xinzi, and after sitting for a while, she was taken by the maid to play with Qi Zhen in the garden. Just toddlers.

Halfway through the game, Qi Xiao accidentally fell down and scratched the skin on his hands. The maids were shocked. When they got up from the ground, Qi Xiao's first reaction was to run to Chu Xinzi's side. At that time, she wanted to get her mother's love. Guan Ai, but when she entered the door, she saw Chu Xinzi and Xi Muqiong sitting at the same table, talking with smiles.

This was the first time Qi Xiao saw Chu Xinzi with such a gentle expression, his usual indifferent expression was radiant at this moment, and the gorgeous red lips were covering their mouths with a smile while chatting.

Hearing someone coming in, Chu Xinzi frowned slightly, as if she was upset that someone had disturbed her, but when she saw Qi Xiao standing at the door with her hands behind her back, her expression relaxed and returned to her usual indifferent look.

"Xiao'er." Chu Xinzi straightened her sitting posture, her tone was a little harsh, "How many times has Mother told you that you must announce outside the door before entering."

"I know I was wrong." Qi Xiao lowered her head.

"Xinzi, you are too strict with Xiao'er." It was Xi Muqiong who spoke, this queen is tolerant and kind to others, and she always talks kindly and smiles to her servants, "Why doesn't Xiao'er treat Xiao'er Playing, did he bully you?"

Noticing that Qi Xiao's body was covered with dirt, Xi Muqiong stood up from the chair, walked over and patted her up and down and said, "It's all dirt, if you are bullying you, you must tell me."

Qi Xiao kept shaking her head, hiding her palms behind her back so they wouldn't see them, Chu Xinzi stood up from the chair, and helped Xi Muqiong: "Don't move around when you're better, children are very naughty, When I go back, I'll ask my servant to change her set."

Xi Muqiong patted the hand on her left wrist, smiled and shook her head, Chu Xinzi's eyes were filled with endless love, even her daughter Qi Xiao had never seen it before.

Realizing that Qi Xiao had been watching from the side, Chu Xinzi restrained herself a little, walked to Qi Xiao's side and said, "Xiao'er wants to go back?"

Nodding, then shaking her head, Qi Xiao raised her head and looked at Chu Xinzi, her eyes were gentle but lacking in emotion: "I'm just a little hungry, I want to find something to eat."

Chu Xinzi took a few pieces of walnut cakes from the table and handed them to Qi Xiao. Just as she was about to reach out to take them, she suddenly thought of the scar on her palm, so she took a step back and shook her head, "The prince is still waiting for me to play hide-and-seek. have eaten."

Turned around and ran out of the room, and ran all the way to the edge of the lotus pond. The lotus in early summer was only covered with green leaves on the water surface. She found a shore closer to the water surface. Qi Xiao squatted by the pond and washed it away with the water. The dirt on the palm of the hand, the scratched wound was already clotted with blood and mixed with the dirt, rubbing the palm of the hand hard made Qi Xiao grit his teeth in pain.

Qi Xiao couldn't remember when she started not wanting to get close to others, and she no longer liked to smile, but she remembered that that day by the lotus pond, she rubbed her hands vigorously to disperse her uneasiness and fear. The love of her only family member, and her sixth sense told her that one day, Chu Xinzi would abandon herself for Xi Muqiong.

After that day, Qi Xiao became independent and as indifferent as Chu Xinzi. The young girl could only rely on this to give herself a sense of security.

Later, when Chu Xinzi looked at Qi Zhi with the same gentle eyes, Qi Xiao could already face all this calmly.

Qi Zhi, her imperial sister, is a cute yellow-haired girl who loves to smile. She can raise two dimples when she smiles, which is loved by the court ladies and eunuchs. She has a face and personality similar to Xi Muqiong, but every time the two of them When the four eyes met, the little girl would blink her big watery eyes, hiding in Chu Xinzi's arms as if scared.

Perhaps it was forced by the environment, the young Qi Xiao has matured beyond his peers.She looked at Qi Ping and Xi Muqiong coldly with light eyes, while she looked like an outsider.

When Qi Xiao was seven years old, the empress Bintian who had been bedridden for a long time, and Chu Xinzi became even more indifferent overnight.I often stand on the corridor in a daze, holding a bamboo flute in my hand, looking at the unchanging scenery from a distance.

But even so, every time she sees Qi Ping, Chu Xinzi will always show a warm smile. Qi Xiao knows that Chu Xinzi is trying to find the person who has passed away on Qi Ping.

One day Chu Ping came over angrily, and Qi Xiao was pushed outside. After about a stick of incense, Chu Ping's roar and the sound of broken ceramics came from inside, and then Chu Ping slammed the door and left.

Walking into the room, there were broken porcelain vases on the floor. Chu Xinzi squatted on the ground without emotion and picked up the porcelain pieces one by one. Seeing Qi Xiao standing at the door, she beckoned Qi Xiao to come over and pick her up. Cuddling in his arms, this is the tenderness that Chu Xinzi has rarely shown for many years, and it is also the last time Qi Xiao feels Chu Xinzi's tenderness.

She stayed with Qi Xiao all day, taught her the unnamed song, handed the bamboo flute and jade pendant into Qi Xiao's hands, and then said many things, the most clear thing she remembered was that Chu Xinzi repeated: " From now on, Xiao'er should be good and be more obedient."

A few days later, Chu Xinzi chose to go with Xi Muqiong.

For Chu Xinzi, this is the best and most relaxing ending.For Qi Xiao, she lost her only family member, and she knelt down to watch the night in the mourning hall dressed in sackcloth and mourning, Qi Xiao felt resentful in her heart.

Her mother, her closest person, finally chose that woman without hesitation.

Chu Ping, who was stationed in Xinjiang, received the news of Chu Xinzi's death, and hurried back to the capital day and night. Seeing Chu Xinzi lying in a coffin as if sleeping soundly, tremblingly touching her cold cheek, she began to howl. Slowly turning into silent choking, he just spent the night curled up on the floor of the mourning hall. On the contrary, Qi Xiao, who had become an orphan, sat there coldly.

On the second day, Chu Ping walked out of the mourning hall with red eyes.

Afterwards, Qi Wei died, and the Duanben Palace caught fire and the prince was buried in the sea of ​​flames. Chu Ping pushed Qi Xiao to the throne of God.

On the first day that His Highness and all the officials paid homage to Qi Xiao, Qi Xiao was so frightened that she wanted to run away. She didn't understand why the uncle who had always loved her seemed to be a different person.

Ascending to the throne of God, she saw Chu Ping dragging out and beheading halfhearted officials more than once. She was moved from empathy at the beginning to numb later, and she unconsciously had the city and ruthlessness that an emperor should have.

And the only thing Chu Xinzi left her was a bamboo flute and a jade pendant. In the first few years before she succeeded to the throne, Qi Xiao was often troubled by nightmares of bloody courtiers and puppet soldiers.In the middle of the night, she held the bamboo flute tightly, imagining the time when she had nightmares and crawled into Chu Xinzi's arms. She longed for love but no one could get close to her. She was destined to face this situation alone. everything.

Afterwards, Qi Xiao built Qi Wei's mausoleum and moved Chu Xinzi's tomb next to Qi Wei's mausoleum for the first time.On the day of the burial, Qi Xiao played a piece of music that Chu Xinzi often hums.

Gradually growing up, Qi Xiao still couldn't understand Chu Xinzi's original choice.To die for one person, to abandon loved ones regardless.Why don't you find someone else, why do you still insist on going your own way knowing that the ending will not be happy.

Until I met Qi Zhu in Meihua Ridge, the yellow-haired girl back then was charming and charming, with the same reassuring smile as Xi Muqiong, like plum blossoms dipped in white snow around her.

To save her life?Maybe it was just to stabilize his imperial career, Qi Xiao was actually shaken when he saw her smiling at him indifferently.

"Do you hate me?"

Gently stroking between the eyebrows with fingertips, recalling Chu Xinzi's last gentle embrace many years ago, it is even more reassuring.

Her whole life was turbulent and depended on others, and her parents died unexpectedly since she was a child. Even though she is the Ninth Five-Year Venerable, the dark and turbulent waves in the court make her feel like walking on thin ice.

It's comfortable and relaxing to stay by Qi's side.She was greedy for this feeling, and found various reasons to put her by her side, travel together, eat together, and explain the so-called love.

He kept telling himself not to follow in the footsteps of his mother, but his cold heart for more than ten years was still slowly melted by Qi Ping.

The unreasonable love is destined to fail to end the relationship well, Qi Xiao tried hard to restrain her inner emotions.

Since ancient times, love is the most difficult to extricate oneself.

Finally, Qi Xiao saw the power of love gu, and rationality kept her away. She couldn't help but miss her, and finally fell under a kiss.

Indulging herself for three months, this is Qi Xiao's last line of defense when she falls into Ruanxiang. After three months, she will definitely be let go and let her marry a foreign country.

She's a woman, but she's also a regal.
