hairpin

Most of Xiao Lingming's figure was hidden in the shadows, only a small part of his pale cheek was surrounded by the dim flickering candlelight.The soft halo of light orange gradually flowed down the deep depressions under his sharp browbones, forming a warm color in the depressions of his chin and lower lip.

- Tomorrow.

How many years will it be before anyone other than Song Yu calls him that.

But the person who called out these two words many years later didn't know anything.

——He is just opportunistic, claiming to be smart!

Xiao Lingming blinked unconsciously, and even he himself didn't know when the tears welled up and slid down his cheeks. He turned his head slightly, stopped looking at Song Xian, and raised his chin to look at Sui'er, "Send Prince Rui out." Then he flung his sleeves and turned into the inner room.

Song Xian didn't move. He stood there, watching her turn into the inner room with an unpredictable expression, until the last piece of clothes disappeared behind the thick peony painted gold door.

"Please." Sui'er's expression was not good, she obviously wanted to follow Xiao Lingming, but because of the order, she had to walk in front of Song Xian and ask him to leave.

Song Xian didn't make things difficult for Sui'er, he stroked his sleeves and followed Sui'er and walked out of the hall, only when he was about to step over the threshold of the main hall of Zhaoyang Hall, he said softly, "This king offended today, Please also tell my aunt and concubine mother. This king really likes her, not out of intimacy or contempt."

Hearing his sincerity, Sui'er tightly clasped the hands in front of her.She lowered her head, and the tassels under the velvet hairpin rubbed against her cheeks, she seemed to be on the tip of her tongue but she was full of worries, and finally she just whispered something, "It's not easy for your empress to live in the palace, I hope you will take care of yourself. "

When Sui'er returned to the inner room, Xiao Lingming was kneeling by the window.

His whole body was bathed in the rich and clear sunset, and he slightly raised his head and looked outside motionlessly.Her hair fell down and fell behind her like a waterfall.The hand holding the fan was hidden in the crimson sleeves, only the ivory-white brocade fan was exposed on the hem of the clothes.

Sui'er was afraid of alarming him, so she knelt down and walked to Xiao Lingming's side, and said in a low voice: "I sent Prince Rui out..."

"he……"

"He said he was sincere and nothing else." Just as Sui'er said a word, Xiao Lingming cut it off.

Sui'er nana said: "Yes."

Seeing Xiao Lingming's still expressionless expression, he hesitated and asked tentatively, "Don't you believe it?"

Xiao Lingming smiled, it was clearly the gentle and soft smile he always had for Sui'er, but Sui'er's heart trembled when he saw it.She always felt that the smile was extremely weak, it didn't fall into Xiao Lingming's heart at all, it was so fragile that it seemed to break at the touch of a finger.

"this is not……"

"Your Majesty is here—"

Before Xiao Lingming could speak, he was interrupted by the sharp voice of the servant.He closed his eyes, "Let's go, it's important to pick up the driver."

Emperor Wu entered the inner hall of Zhaoyang Palace, and bumped into Xiao Lingming who came out to meet him. He stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Lingming's hand and took it in. After walking two steps, he turned his head and asked sharply, "Crying?"

"Didn't Fang meet Xian'er?" Emperor Wu led him to sit down, brushed away the broken hair on Xiao Lingming's forehead, "He made you unhappy? Li Fu! Go to Prince Rui's residence..."

Only then did Xiao Lingming shake his head, "It has nothing to do with Prince Rui. He had good intentions and brought in snacks from outside the palace, but he made me fall in love..."

Emperor Wu snorted, obviously very useful, "In the Hou Mansion, I always like to bring these with me every time I visit you." He stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Lingming on the back of the head as he spoke.

Xiao Lingming followed Emperor Wu's strength and pillowed on his lap, and continued: "At that time, Your Majesty, sister, and me, what a wonderful time."

Emperor Wu seemed to be dragged into the old memories of the past by his words, his hand unconsciously stroked Xiao Lingming's hair, after a long time, the emperor said in a low voice, "Even you feel good..."

That's right, even I think it's good, but Princess Qinghe, whose heart is higher than the sky, thinks it's not good enough.

"Sister, I'm getting greedy..." Xiao Lingming said softly.

Xiao Lingming also felt that the world was really funny when he said that, he lay on the emperor's dragon robe, soaked in the rich aroma he was used to, and thought about the past.

It turned out to be very good, the eldest sister lost her husband for the country and then lived as a widow in Beijing. She was valued by the emperor and empress, and she was known as the current caretaker of the King of Qin.Although no one has pointed it out, they all understand the relationship of the Pingjing Yongchanghou Mansion.

But later Xiao Lingyi, a cruel and deep-hearted woman, chose to love her current elder brother, the idle prince who was full of poems and books and even had a pure title.

But she can't bear mediocrity, she loves the most uncontested prince in the court, but she wants to be the queen who is the mother of the world.

It doesn't matter if King Chun doesn't fight, she, Xiao Lingyi, will fight for him.

——Fighting to be blinded by desire, like a fool, until the nine clans were implicated, and the Nuoda Xiao clan wiped out the Yi clan.

Xiao Lingyi seemed to have just remembered that she still has a young and innocent younger brother.

Emperor Wu carefully looked at Xiao Lingming who was lying on his lap, and looked at his pale and beautiful face hidden under the thick black hair.

He was born really different from Xiao Lingyi, he was better looking than her, and he was also smarter than her.

Xiao Lingming should also be better than that woman with high eyesight and low hands. He is a child raised by me personally, and even the name was chosen from the three characters sent by Yongchanghou on his own idea.

"Minger." Emperor Wu suddenly said.

Xiao Lingming responded, but didn't pay much attention.

"It would be great if you were the child of Zhen and Lingyi." Emperor Wu said with emotion, but Xiao Lingming just regarded him as an ordinary emotion and didn't care.But he never expected that Emperor Wu hesitated for a moment, and said the second half of the sentence that was earth-shattering.

The emperor said softly and lowly: "If you are the child of my fellow Lingyi, I will really make you the East Palace."

Xiao Lingming was stunned.

This sentence was like a bait, gently thrown under the surface of the lake, it attracted all the resentment, resentment and even resentment that Xiao Lingming had buried in his heart over the years.

Xiao Lingming actually didn't know what kind of emotion he had for Song Yu.

Back then, Song Yu in the Marquis of Yongchang held him on his lap and carefully taught him to read and write, and accompanied him to bow and horse, ride and shoot.

Later, the chieftain of Qinghe County conspired against him, and Song Yu ascended the throne on blood.Song Yu took Xiao Lingyi's life but spared him alone, and spared him who personally brought Jue Si decoction to the emperor in the Linxia Palace.

Song Yu didn't even say a serious word to him at that time, he just brought him back to the palace, and taught him as carefully as in the past, from poetry and writing to political discussions on state affairs, everything was taught by the emperor himself.

But all this changed in a short night. Is the emperor really so merciless and ungrateful?

Or is it just because he is not Xiao Lingyi, nor the child of Xiao Lingyi and Song Yu, but just a fake that can be thrown away at will.

"You're outrageous, I've never thought about this before." Xiao Lingming suppressed the swelling pain in his throat and choked, but thousands of emotions were concentrated in one sentence, and the grievances that had been suppressed for ten years suddenly surged up at this moment. Where is it so easy to swallow, "It's just..."

"It's just that if there is an afterlife... Ming'er..." Xiao Lingming's tone was broken, trembling uncontrollably, "Ming'er is very willing to be your parent and child."

After he finished speaking, Emperor Wu's hand, which was holding his hair regularly, stopped suddenly.

After a while, the Son of Heaven snorted and revealed it lightly, "Yuan Ming'er still wants to rely on me in the next life, thinking that I will protect you."
