After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

Xiao Jinzhi met her gaze leisurely, "Why do you ask?"

Chu Huanyan did not answer, but looked at the person in front of her quietly.

Xiao Jinzhi's reaction just now was too normal. If it were the first time he heard it, he would at least be sad and disappointed.

Moreover, Xiao Jinzhi said that he often went to that place to eavesdrop when he was a child. If Queen Wei had always been so partial, it was impossible that Xiao Jinzhi had not heard something in the past.

Feeling Chu Huanyan's gaze, Xiao Jinzhi lightly shrugged his shoulders.

"It's indeed not the first time. I can't remember how many times I have heard such words."

After saying that, seeing Chu Huanyan still looking at him, she smiled helplessly and said: "On my seventh birthday, I already knew that in the heart of my mother, I and Xiao Rongxuan are different..."

That year, he was celebrating his birthday in his mother's harem, and accidentally knocked over the birthday noodles prepared by the palace attendants, burning Xiao Rongxuan who happened to be playing next to him.

At that time, he was full of guilt and felt that he was sorry for Xiao Rongxuan. So after his mother asked him to leave, he quietly ran back to the palace to check on Xiao Rongxuan.

The injury was not serious, but the back of his hand was a little red. As soon as he finished checking, his mother came in from outside the palace. He was worried that her mother would be angry when she saw him, so he climbed out of the back window.

That was the first time that he heard his mother's dislike of him with his own ears.

At that time, he realized that the queen mother didn't want to celebrate his birthday at all, but she just didn't want to make people comment, so she just did it perfunctory.

Later, he often began to sneak to the back window to eavesdrop.

He heard his mother's meticulous care for Xiao Rongxuan, heard Xiao Rongxuan's dissatisfaction with being the prince, and also heard his mother's comfort and assurance.

Externally, the Queen Mother is gentle and gentle, and is highly praised as the mother of a country.

Internally, the Queen Mother is doting and gentle, and she is a mother who loves her son.

Only towards herself, she was indifferent and indifferent.

Chu Huanyan listened silently to Xiao Jinzhi's talk about the past, which was obviously done with a smile, but it made her feel chilly again and again.

When she discovered Chu Ziyuan and Chu Wanyan's calculations and betrayal, her heart felt like thousands of ants gnawing at her. It was hard to imagine how seven-year-old Xiao Jinzhi would feel when she heard those words.

The calculations and disgust of loved ones are sometimes like maggots attached to the bones, making people suffer from them all the time.

"Do you hate it, Your Highness?" Seeing the palace gate not far away, Chu Huanyan finally stopped and asked this question.

"Of course I hate it." Xiao Jinzhi nodded.

"What about now, you don't hate it anymore?" Chu Huanyan asked doubtfully.

Can you really let go of your hatred?

Although he took revenge on Chu Ziyuan and Chu Wanyan, he never regarded them as family members from the bottom of his heart. But when she returned from her dream at midnight, the nausea and pain in her heart would still come up involuntarily.

Sometimes, she would even uncontrollably wonder if she didn't deserve the preferential treatment from her family.

Even though she knew that this idea was ridiculous, even though she knew very well that she shouldn't blame herself so stupidly, but occasionally she couldn't control her thoughts.

Xiao Jinzhi also stopped, "I have hated and complained, and even thought about whether I did not do a good enough job, but later I understood. People's hearts are inherently uncontrollable, whether it is partiality or indifference. , how can it be decided by you and me?"

"But they are your closest relatives." Chu Huanyan said in a deep voice.

"That can only mean that Gu's luck is not very good and he didn't meet a very good family."

Xiao Jinzhi smiled and spoke, looking at Chu Huanyan with calmness and peace in his eyes.

"However, being alone is not a loss. At least I still have the position of prince. I am in the royal family and have no worries about food and clothing. You must know that there are so many people in this world struggling to make a living. Just having no worries about food and clothing is better than many people. . Why do you need to insist that you are not the favored one and make yourself miserable all day long?"

A gust of wind passed by, and the moon that was covered in the sky suddenly showed its face again.

The moon is bright and shining.

Xiao Jinzhi's eyes seemed to be decorated with moonlight, shining brightly.

Chu Huanyan stared blankly into the other person's eyes. At this moment, the surrounding wind seemed to blow into her heart, gently caressing away the anxiety and pain hidden during this period, bringing an indescribable moment of relief.

Yes, although she was betrayed by her relatives, not only did she have a chance to be reborn, but now she also successfully retaliated against them. For those who died in the betrayal, she was already too lucky.

More importantly, she once had parents who loved her. Even though her memory has been blurred, those years still really existed.

Why should she always insist on being betrayed, trapped in it, and suffering from herself all the time.

The bright moonlight seemed to shine straight into her heart, and Chu Huanyan suddenly laughed.

He stared at Xiao Jinzhi, and then said thank you seriously.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Xiao Jinzhi raised his eyebrows clearly, but when he spoke, he was still playful, "Although I don't know why Miss Chu said thank you, I accepted this thank you first. But... I won't let Miss Chu thank you in vain."

The wind has stopped in the autumn night and the dark clouds have dispersed.

The clear moon in the sky illuminates the reunion of the world.

……

That night, Chu Huanyan, who returned to the Hou Mansion, slept very well.

In her dream, she recalled the time she spent the Mid-Autumn Festival with her parents when she was a child. The memories that had disappeared clearly resurfaced again, as if she really spent this Mid-Autumn Festival moonlit night with her family.

When she woke up at dawn the next day, although she felt lost for a while, her heart was filled with joy and nostalgia.

It was rare to get up with a relaxed mind and body. After washing up, Chu Huanyan had a good breakfast. Even Xianyue felt that her young lady seemed to be in a particularly good mood today.

"Miss, how about I accompany you for a walk? I heard that the maple leaves on the outskirts of the city are starting to turn red, and many people are going to enjoy the scenery." Xian Yue asked someone to clear away the dishes and suggested enthusiastically.

During this period, the lady has been busy practicing dance and has not had a good rest.

Chu Huanyan thought about it and thought the proposal was good, so she asked Xianyue to prepare a carriage and take her and Yun Chen out of the city.

Perhaps because he was in a good mood, Chu Huanyan felt that the scenery was very pleasant, so he enjoyed it for a while, and then returned to the Hou Mansion near noon.

However, as soon as he entered the city gate, he met a servant who reported that someone in the palace had come to return the jade pendant and also conveyed the Queen's decree.

It was said that Chu Huanyan danced at the banquet, but she didn't get any reward, so the queen took the decision and released Chu Ziyuan in advance so that the siblings could be reunited and they could go home today.

"I never thought that if I danced, the benefits would fall on Chu Ziyuan." Chu Huanyan was amused.

However, since Queen Wei had already spoken, she naturally did not refuse.

He just ordered the boy to take two people with him to fetch Chu Ziyuan from the prison.

And when Chu Huanyan returned to the Hou Mansion in a carriage, she found that there were two other people waiting at the door...
