Hey, you are reborn too?

"Who?"

There was no answer from the other side of the door. The knocks continued, one slow, two fast, and then one slow again.

Little Xie Yongwei looked up at Xie Shian in confusion. She only felt that her father's expression was inexplicably solemn.

"Awei," Daddy put her down and said in a serious tone, leaving no room for doubt, "Daddy has something else to do, so I'll leave first. You can play by yourself."

Xie Yongwei was very sensible and did not make a fuss. She nodded and said goodbye, "Daddy."

Little Xie Yongwei didn't know what her father was busy with, but she only heard that the fourth princess got married two days later.

The day before the wedding, someone came early to sprinkle water on the road and sweep the ground. The common people told each other that the fourth princess was going to marry and the royal family was making preparations.

On the day of the princess's marriage, little Xie Yongwei got up early with her father and mother, wanting to see the marriage team.

The sounds of blowing and beating came from afar.

On the streets, the people had been driven to both sides to prevent them from blocking the marriage procession.

Dozens of palace maids on horseback were leading the way. They wore gauze headscarves and their outer robes were all red with gold edges.

The team walked slowly for a long time before Xie Yongwei finally saw the sedan chair carrying the fourth princess.

When she saw the sedan chair, little Xie Yongwei couldn't help but widen her eyes, and her sleepiness instantly disappeared, turning into excitement. Xie Yongwei was not the only one who was excited, and the people present also exclaimed faintly and whispered about it.

The sedan was very tall, more than five feet high, and looked like it could accommodate seven or eight people. It was surrounded by pearl curtains and red gauze. When the wind blew, bells between the curtains rang softly, which was very pleasant to the ear.

"Daddy," Xie Yongwei stared at the sedan chair. She pulled her father's sleeve and asked curiously, "The sedan chair that the Fourth Princess is sitting in is so gorgeous!"

Daddy didn't say anything, but just held her hand tightly for some reason.

Little Xie Yongwei felt her father's hands trembling, but when she looked up at her father, his face looked calm again, as if nothing had happened.

This strange detail really made little Xie Yongwei curious, but at that time, there were loud gongs and drums, and the atmosphere was inexplicably solemn, so little Xie Yongwei opened her mouth but ultimately did not ask.

Looking back now, my father might have been afraid that he would be used as a victim of this political struggle and sent to another place to marry.

The sedan chair passed slowly in front of General Zhenyuan's mansion, and behind it was the princess's dowry, phoenix crown, dress, gilded sedan chair... countless gold, silver and jewelry.

Xie Yongwei's original intention was not to see the dowry. She agreed to get up so early for her parents because she actually wanted to meet the Second Prince who was in the guard of honor and was seeing him off.

At first, little Xie Yongwei was counting the sedan chairs one by one with great interest. When she counted over 100, there were still sedan chairs passing by her. She became impatient and was very sleepy because she had gotten up early. She yawned and then stood there in a daze with her eyes squinted.

When she finally saw the honor guard behind the dowry, Xie Yongwei finally perked up a little. She tried her best to tear open her eyelids, and looked left and right, searching for the figure in the honor guard.

Jiang Yu rode a tall horse and walked in the honor guard. Because Dayuan had no crown prince, Jiang Yu, as the oldest prince, took on the responsibility of sending the princess to marry.

Because he was escorting the bride, Jiang Yu's outer robe today was red instead of his usual white, and he didn't look as handsome as before.

The guard of honor also included a nine-dragon sedan chair carrying the empress, boys holding lanterns, and boys holding round fans. But none of these could attract Xie Yongwei's interest.

Her eyelids closed slowly, but not completely, leaving a gap, and her head nodded, as if she could fall asleep at any time.

"Avi, Avi?"

The mother's somewhat anxious voice sounded in Xie Yongwei's ears.

"Look at mother, are you sleepy?"

Xie Yongwei couldn't even lift her eyelids, so she could only move her head slightly as a response to her mother's question.

"If you are tired, go to sleep. It is hard for you to get up so early. Come on, mother will take you back to sleep."

Little Xie Yongwei was so sleepy that her eyelids were fighting. She pouted her lips and leaned softly against her mother: "I don't want to leave. Mother, carry me back."

My mother seemed to shout something, and then she was picked up by a pair of strong hands.

Xie Yongwei's nose twitched and she smelled the familiar scent of her father. She tilted her head and fell asleep peacefully.

A few months later, little Xie Yongwei was bored one day and complained to her mother while chatting that her mother did not give her a sister.

It was just a joke, but my mother's eyes suddenly turned red.

Little Xie Yongwei stopped talking immediately, took her mother's hand and told her that she had said something wrong.

"Mother, Awei was wrong. Awei shouldn't have made mother sad."

"Awei is right, Awei is right," the mother blinked slightly, raised her hand slightly, and touched the corner of her eye with the handkerchief, "Don't apologize to me, this is not your fault."

"Then why is mom crying?" Little Xie Yongwei said without restraint, "Someone must have done something wrong and made mom sad first, so mom is crying."

"If it wasn't Avi who did something wrong, then who did it? Was it the maidservant beside my mother?"

Mother shook her head and touched her eyes with the handkerchief again.

"Whose fault is it then? Mother, did you have a quarrel with father? Or did my brother offend you?"

Mother's eyes were red, but she just shook her head.

"Mother, you have confused Awei. Who made you sad? Tell me and I will avenge you."

"Ah Wei," Fu Mei held Xie Yongwei's small hand in her palm. She looked directly into Xie Yongwei's eyes, with a faint red in her eyes, "No one made mother sad. It was mother who was sad herself."

Xie Yongwei gently held Fu Mei's hand, her eyes open, looking a little confused.

"Come to mother's arms," ​​Fu Mei gently put her arm around her shoulders, with a broken tenderness between her eyebrows, "Mother will hug you."

Xie Yongwei blinked and threw herself into her mother's arms without hesitation.

She sniffed her mother's scent almost greedily, feeling intoxicated. She couldn't help but sigh, "Mom, Awei really wants to be with you forever."

The hand around her back suddenly tightened.

"Okay, Mommy also wants to be with Avi forever. But..."

Xie Yongwei rubbed it for a while, and found a more comfortable position to snuggle with her mother.

"But what?"

"It's nothing, I just feel a little sad," said the mother in a nasal voice, trembling, "In the future, Awei will get married, and by then, I won't be able to accompany Awei."

"Mother, how do you know Avi is going to get married?"

At that time, little Xie Yongwei's heart was beating very fast. She thought that her mother had discovered that she and Jiang Yu were secretly having an affair, and she was very nervous.

"Throughout history, is there any woman who has never married?" Mother patted her back gently, sighed, and continued with emotion, "But Awei, can you promise me? This is the only request I have."

"Mother, you say."

"If you must marry someone in the future, you must marry someone you truly love and who is willing to treat you sincerely, okay?"
