If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

"Brother, brother, what's wrong with you?!" At the gate of Meizhuang, Feng Yijia looked up and saw a pig-headed face getting down from a horse.

After looking at him again and again in disbelief, he finally realized that it was his second brother from the Situ family, who attached great importance to his appearance.

Her hair was loosely tied to one side, with a few fallen strands playfully sticking to her bloodshot face.

The two dark circles under the eyes, which are comparable to those of the current national treasure, appear even more abrupt on the fair face.

The azure blue robe was torn in several places, and vegetable sweat and egg liquid could be vaguely seen on it.

......

Xiao Nuo, who was riding the horse behind him, had a sad face and didn't look much better.

After receiving the news, Meixiang hurried out of the door and couldn't help but gasp when she saw his face.

When has the handsome young man in such a good time ever looked so miserable?

"Hiss..." When the wet cloth touched his face, Situ Yidong couldn't help but take a breath with his mouth twisted, which instead pulled the wound on his face, making it more painful.

Mei Xiang frowned and glared at him fiercely, "Do you feel the pain now? Why didn't you think it would hurt when you did it just now?"

Although his words were harsh, his actions unconsciously became much gentler.

Through his swollen eyelids, Situ Yidong squinted and keenly caught the flash of heartache in the girl's eyes.

He has a sharp tongue but a soft heart!

Looking at the girl so close to him, although his body felt pain from time to time, the sweetness in his heart could not be suppressed and surged up.

Warmth and tenderness linger around the two of them like rays of sunshine.

After a long time, under Situ Yidong's lingering and slightly regretful gaze, Meixiang treated the wound on his face.

The several families who came to Meizhuang more or less left some spare clothes in the rooms of their own courtyards in case of emergency.

Situ Yidong was naturally no exception. He even had the most personal belongings placed here among the few people.

Before applying the medicine, he had already simply washed and changed his clothes before daring to appear in front of Meixiang.

After pouring a bowl of water and handing it to him, Meixiang sat opposite him, placed her hands on her knees, and stared at the boy opposite with a fixed gaze.

That’s right, in Meixiang’s eyes, he was just a high school student who was less than 20 years old and a bit rebellious.

"Tell me, where? With whom? Why?"

Raising his head slightly and glancing at Meixiang who had a serious face, Situ Yidong pouted his lips in grievance, but unexpectedly he pulled the wound on his face again.

"Hiss, it hurts, it hurts..."

Seeing Meixiang sitting opposite her unmoved, it seemed that she would not be able to pass this hurdle if she didn't explain it clearly today.

Situ Yidong had no choice but to sit up straight and whispered, "On the way to Meizhuang."

"Exact location?"

Mei Xiang's short shout made someone suddenly alert and he instinctively replied, "It's half a mile away from the north city gate."

"With whom?"

"A few ladies."

"Ah?" Hearing this, Meixiang opened her eyes wide in disbelief, and then laughed out of anger, "Situ Yidong, you have grown up. You are such a grown-up, and you are fighting with a group of old ladies."

Glancing at him from side to side a few times, he continued with some disdain: "And, it looks like he lost the fight???"

"Who said I lost?" Someone barked back with his neck stiffened, like a puppy whose tail was stepped on.

"You've defeated a few ladies. Is that glorious? It's very manly and heroic? Do you want to ask the emperor to issue a special decree of praise and announce it to the world?"

Meixiang's voice unconsciously became higher and higher, her face was visibly red with anger, and her voice was trembling on the last few syllables.

"No, no, no."

She took several deep breaths in succession. It was the first time that Meixiang was so angry since she could remember.

She didn't know why, but her temper was like a firecracker, suddenly ignited, and with a bang, it exploded!

After calming down a little, Meixiang spoke again to break the awkward atmosphere.

"Why are you fighting with them?" Looking at Situ Yidong's expression, it was obvious that he did not use any force but just beat the other party unilaterally.

Meixiang still had some common sense and sense, and her anger subsided a little.

"because......"

Situ Yidong realized it later and his face turned red, and he began to stutter when he spoke.

"Say!"

"Because they said bad things about you, I really couldn't help it!" Meixiang's voice frightened him so much that his whole body shuddered, and the words came out of his mouth without even thinking.

"I have tolerated them for so many days. Now you are so forced that you dare not meet us in the Duke's Mansion and have hidden in the mountains outside the city."

"I went to the Princess's Mansion eight times, but I didn't see you once!!!"

Suddenly, Meixiang was moved. Although she had been staying in Meizhuang for a while and was indeed busy, she still had the thought of deliberately escaping.

The words she heard from the public and the beautiful woman's advice still had an impact on her.

"I'm afraid you'll get hurt, I..."

Situ Yidong made up his mind and said what he had been holding in his heart for a long time without hesitation: "I am more afraid that you will be influenced by them, avoid me, stop seeing me, and finally..."

"If you don't want me anymore in the end, I won't be able to bear it! It will kill me more than letting me die!"

The boy of seventeen or eighteen years old looked at his beloved girl and couldn't help but shed tears when he spoke of his emotional moments.

After hearing the whole story, Meixiang couldn't help but feel sad. She stood up, walked to the boy, gently stroked the wound on his face, and asked softly, "Does it still hurt?"

Soon, thanks to the unremitting efforts of the Zhang couple, the small winery in Meizhuang successfully brewed the first cup of wine.

Before Meixiang could happily choose a date to invite everyone to come and taste the wine, gossip among the people quickly turned into rumors and became more and more intense under the promotion of some people with ulterior motives.

At the first morning court session after the May ten-day holiday in the twenty-seventh year of Haoyue, someone finally couldn't help but stand up.

"I have something to ask for your approval."

"allow."

An old man in his sixties stood up tremblingly. This old man has always been known for his uprightness and was highly praised by the civil and military officials in the court.

"Your Majesty, I recently heard that there is a four or five-year-old child in the Princess's residence who calls the Empress her mother. Is this true?"

The emperor, who was sitting on the high throne, took a deep breath when he heard this. Ever since the first time they met, when the child Xiao Shiba called the queen "mother", he had intended to stop her.

The queen said at the time: "When that child came to the palace four years ago, he had just survived a serious illness. He couldn't even kneel steadily at that time, and there was not a pound of flesh on his body."

"But the first time he saw me, he insisted on calling me mother just like Xiang'er did. In the past few years, no matter how Meiying and his siblings taught him, he just refused to change his words."

"I think this is the fate given to us by God. If it's nothing serious, just let him be. It's just a name between us two." The queen's expression seemed to be nostalgic and emotional.

From then on, the emperor, several elders, and the heads of the families never raised any objection to this matter.

During this period, many people have seen Xiao Shiba and the Queen, and quite a few have heard the call "Mother".

There was nothing shameful about it, and the emperor had no intention of concealing or covering it up.

I just didn't expect that this old man would bring it up on the spot at this time.

The emperor sighed secretly. What was to come would come sooner or later. He sat up straighter and replied in a deep voice, "Yes, it is true."

After receiving the emperor's personal confirmation, the expressions of the court officials standing below suddenly became wonderful.

Some people thought it was just as expected, some were dumbfounded, some were incredulous, and some were gloating over the misfortune...

The old man was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the emperor would admit it so readily, which made the speech he had prepared for several days useless.

At this time, another old man took the opportunity to stand up and said: "Since the little prince is so old, it is not a good idea for him to stay in the Princess's mansion all the time. He should be brought back to the palace as soon as possible."

As they spoke, the people below were quietly observing the expressions of the emperor and the old family heads. Everyone knew that the queen and the eldest princess had been away for more than ten years and had never returned to the capital.

The emperor only visited Liuzhou Prefecture when the eldest princess was only three years old, accompanied by the head of the Feng family, and he never left the capital since then.

So, where did this little prince come from? Whose child is he? Did the queen cheat on the emperor?
