Heaven

Between the two mighty stone lions is a large red lacquer gate, above which is written the four characters "Xixiang Prince's Mansion" on a brand new golden lacquer plaque.

There is no servant walking around in the beautiful pavilions, which seems a bit strange.

Ji Xi raised her head and drank a large bowl of wine.

He had never drank so much before, and even when he was wandering around the rivers and lakes in low clothes in his early years, his demeanor was always incompatible with those green forest heroes.

"The royal family should have royal majesty."

He suddenly remembered this sentence that his mother had been talking about when he was a child.Royal?Is it his luck or misfortune to be born in the royal family?The thoughts of thoughts seem to have penetrated through many years at once, returning to my childhood——

Ji Xi's mother is Ji Zhihuang's queen, or she is Ji Zhihuang's only concubine at all.It is said that when Ji Zhihuang first came to the throne, he was under a lot of pressure because of this, but he still never married a second woman throughout his life.

It stands to reason that the only concubine often means the exclusive favor of the harem, but unfortunately the fact is not always the case.

For childhood, Ji Xi's deepest impression is the sad eyes of the queen mother and her tightly clenched fists in the cold palace.

The emperor doesn't like the queen, which is almost a well-known fact in Jing's harem.Therefore, even though the queen has the title of the most honorable woman in Jing country, she cannot avoid being despised.

And the most lively place in the harem is Princess Xiao's Yunze Palace. Ji Xi didn't understand the true meaning of this sentence until a long time later.

Ji Xi has two aunts, they are a pair of twins, almost identical in appearance.Although in terms of appearance, the little Ji Xi has never been able to distinguish them, but he has never misunderstood them.

Aunt Xuan often came to visit the queen mother, or her hobby was actually to annoy the unfavored queen with mocking words.Aunt Xuan seemed to have come here specially to criticize, Ji Xi thought angrily.She laughed at the dress of the queen mother, the emperor's indifference to the queen mother, and even the location of the palace where they lived, because this exquisite palace was almost the same as the Weiyang Palace where the emperor lived.

Ji Xi has seen her mother-in-law fight against Aunt Xuan more than once, and she has also seen Aunt Xuan's furious appearance after leaving her stepmother, and the confusion and sadness on her face after that.

Aunt Xuan is really a very annoying person, because in Ji Xi's impression, every time she shows up, her mother's teaching will be more than twice as strict.

In contrast, Aunt Xiao came here very infrequently, and she usually only came to pay her respects routinely before the holidays.Her eyes are much softer than her sister's.This beautiful woman's voice is as pleasant as spring water, and there is always a sense of tranquility and tranquility about her body. Even though the conversations with the queen mother always end in relative silence, Ji Xi still likes this aunt very much.

Every time Aunt Xiao came, he always hid behind the pillar and peeked.Aunt Xiao's every movement is so soft and beautiful, he often forgets to blink his eyes.When Aunt Xiao found Ji Xi, she always showed a slightly startled expression, and then beckoned him to sit beside her.

Ji Xi could feel that his mother was also looking forward to Aunt Xiao's arrival.Probably because once Aunt Xiao fell into a state of having nothing to say, the man who was rarely seen once appeared in a hurry?

Ji Xi doesn't like his father, he always calls him by that person in his heart.

In fact, every time Ji Xi kneels respectfully to this tall and handsome man, Ji Xi feels a little bit unwilling.That person had never looked at himself directly, and would only randomly ask about his homework during important family dinners, and then he hummed noncommittal.The queen mother always asked him to use his excellence to win that person's attention, but even the young Ji Xi could feel that that person really didn't take herself seriously at all, and it was impossible for him to get that person's attention because of his own efforts. Look at it differently.

Maybe he has no place in his heart to let go of his little self?Many years later, Ji Xi thought to himself, but at that time, he didn't need the attention and care of his father long ago.

Ji Xi was excited when she knew that Aunt Xuan was going to marry Chu State.

Princess Xuan secretly dressed up as Princess Xiao and joked with the emperor, but was severely scolded.This is the news that Ji Xi overheard from the mouth of the court lady, his mood suddenly jumped up, but when he heard another news, he suddenly turned into anger!

A large number of tonics were sent to Yunze Palace, and Princess Xuan stabbed Princess Xiao to vent her anger after being punished?And His Majesty the Emperor, in a fit of anger, married her to the bandit leader who had just established a country in the north...

How could this be? !That vicious aunt did such a thing!

Ji Xi rushed back, intending to ask her mother if she had a chance to visit Aunt Xiao.

When she went back, she saw the princess's imperial sedan chair, and Ji Xi subconsciously stopped in her tracks.Recognizing that it was Aunt Xuan's mark, he immediately lightened his steps and tiptoed in.

"We are all poor women, his thoughts will not fall on us now, and will not fall on us in the future..."

Ji Xi has never seen Aunt Xuan have such an expression, and he seems to be able to feel a deep sadness even from a long distance away.

"How could this be? How could Your Majesty..."

The empress mother's face was full of shock, as if she had been greatly stimulated, she grabbed Aunt Xuan's sleeve and screamed.

Ji Xi didn't know what Aunt Xuan had said to the Queen Mother that day, he only knew that all the things that Aunt Xiao had given him that he treasured after that day disappeared without a trace overnight.After testing the mother's tone, he understood that these things might not be found in his lifetime.

Aunt Xiao was about to leave the palace, and her father betrothed her to the new General of the Five Armies.

Ji Xi was a little unhappy after hearing the news.However, his queen mother obviously enjoyed it and managed the princess's wedding single-handedly.Their palace suddenly became lively, and the mother prepared almost every aspect of the wedding in every detail.Father would come over occasionally, but when his mother brought up the details of the wedding again and again, he always sat aside and frowned, said lightly that he would follow the highest standard, then shook his sleeves and left.

Until one day, when Ji Xi woke up in the morning, she was surprised to find that her mother's eyes were red and swollen, and half of her cheek was swollen!Who would dare to fight the mother of one country in Jing country? !

Ji Xi felt that the queen mother was becoming more and more strict with her homework.She didn't mention anything like calling her father's attention again, which made Ji Xi heave a sigh of relief.Although it seemed a little overstepping that the queen mother secretly made friends with the courtiers, Ji Xi vaguely felt that the queen mother did this for her own sake.

One day, Ji Xi suddenly finds out that she has a younger brother.Although he is Aunt Xiao's child and not his own brother, but in this harem where there has always been only one child, maybe he who often enters the palace can become his playmate?Ji Xi thought expectantly.

It's a pity that every time that limp baby is brought, that person must be by his side.Afraid of the majesty of the emperor, Ji Xi regretted secretly watching his father and Aunt Xiao teasing the little baby from a distance.I've never seen such a gentle expression on my father's face, Ji Xi thought in amazement.

But the emperor punished him for kneeling all night because he was caught walking too close?Ji Xi suddenly felt that this cousin was different from himself in his father's heart.

As expected, the child grows up very fast, and every time Ji Xi is pleasantly surprised to find that the little cousin has changed again, and his liking for him is also increasing day by day.Until one day, when he saw his father holding the most precious stone in Jing country and laughing with that sleepy little cousin, a strange feeling suddenly surged in his heart.At that time, even Aunt Xiao's tears didn't seem to be able to attract his attention, Ji Xi pursed her lips, that stone, Jing Kingdom's Jade Seal...it should belong to him!

Thinking about it carefully, the queen mother should have already made up her mind after listening to the story told by herself, right?Ji Xi suddenly felt that that day seemed to be the beginning of everything?

It's just that he didn't expect that after so many years, the jade seal would be handed back to him by himself...

The feelings for Ji Kongqing are mixed with envy, jealousy, hatred and love, each of which is so unforgettable.But how can such a complicated mood have a good result?Ji Xi snorted self-deprecatingly, it's ridiculous that a person who devotes himself to acting is too deep into the drama... Could it be that he has really fulfilled the curse of the Ji family for more than a hundred years, that every descendant of the direct line will eventually fall in love with his own relatives?It's a pity that this curse didn't work on Ji Kongqing.

The country of Jing no longer existed, but his own life was preserved in a humiliating way.

Ji Xi thought of his queen, the woman who rushed over suddenly when she was reading out her crimes, and bumped her head to death on the imperial steps.What did you say that you want to change your life for another, and let the new emperor forgive your sins...

A smile appeared on the corner of Ji Xi's mouth, Jing Ran's daughter was indeed not an ordinary person.After hearing the heinous crimes, he knew that he would definitely not be sentenced to death, at least not when the world was first decided.However, this woman has used such a decisive method to protect herself. How much does she want to plant a thorn between Rang Ji Kongqing and Jing Mingrui, and finally cause them to turn against each other?

Pity……

Jing Mingrui is as cunning as he imagined.He picked up his sister's body with a sad face, saying that he never thought of killing himself, which was a complete misunderstanding.

"Since the big mistake has been made, I wanted to demote him to a commoner, but now I give him the title of sister, and make the sinner Ji Xi the king of Xixiang."

With Jing Mingrui's order, he became an idle prince and got a nice mansion.It's just that this prince is probably the prince with the most status and freedom in the world, right?

Ji Xi sighed and threw away the empty wine jar.He drew his sword and looked at his reflection on the edge.

The queen mother has gone crazy, she can no longer maintain her graceful and luxurious appearance, sometimes shouting foul language and wanting revenge, sometimes forgetting that she is no longer the empress dowager dictating to the air.

revenge?

Listening to the loud sound of firecrackers outside, Ji Xi smiled.When everyone in the world is rejoicing for their union, what can he do as a prince with no power?

Looking at the sword in his hand, Ji Xi hesitated.As long as you put it on your neck and wipe it lightly, you can never worry about it again...

but……

Whether he was timid or unwilling, he still wanted to see how Ji Kongqing would end up in the end.

How complicated and unpredictable the emperor's love is, he himself knows it best.Ji Xi couldn't make up his mind back then, so how could Jing Mingrui be any better?Would he really be willing to share the hard-won world with a man who had been toyed with by him countless times?Ji Xi maliciously guessed that the answer would definitely not satisfy Kong Qing.

"Your Majesty must not!"

The melodious female voice sounded anxiously in Ji Xi's ear.He turned his head and found that it was a woman he didn't know, with one sleeve hanging down empty, as if an arm was missing.

"You are……?"

"Ah, I forgot. It seems that His Majesty has never seen me! I have the honor to see His Majesty's true face from the portraits collected in Jie Ge's secret room."

"Jie... Lan Sijie! You are!" Ji Xi's eyes widened slightly.

He still remembered the painting, which was drawn by Lan Sijie himself, and it was the scene when he met Lan Sijie for the first time.To be honest, Lan Sijie's painting skills are not very good. Ji Xi didn't like it very much after seeing it, so Lan Sijie, who wanted to hang the painting outside, gave up the idea, and I don't know where he kept the painting .

So this woman is likely to be his wife, Bai... Bai what?Ji Xi only vaguely remembered that the fish that slipped through the net of the Lan family should be the suzerain of the Miao Luo Sect who had long since fallen in the Jianghu.He didn't want to kill them all at first, but considering that Lan Sijie knew too many of his secrets, he had no choice but to kill Lan Sijie's wife and children.After their death, the highest glory must be bestowed, and he had already made up his mind to make up for it.

"You came here because you want...?" Ji Xi frowned and asked.

"Of course I came here specially to prevent His Majesty from committing suicide. If you die like this, how can you be worthy of the good things I prepared for you?" Bai Nianyin smiled sweetly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager I have already used the devil voice, and sent her on the road first. When she wakes up, she will feel unbearably hungry, but she will not be full if she eats anything. In the end, she will choose to eat herself when she is too hungry. Lose!"

"...!"

"As for Your Majesty..." Bai Nianyin took out a small bamboo tube from his waist, "This is the sleepy heart lock that Brother Jie came up with, and it took me half a year to refine it before I got away with it. As long as I am bitten by it With one sip, you will be forever indulging in your most feared dream, and you will never want to die if you want to live, I believe His Majesty will like it, right?"

When Ji Xi saw the little snake with barbs on its mouth, his pupils shrank involuntarily.He only felt a pain in his neck, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw Ji Zhihuang standing in front of him with a smile on his face...

The ultimate secret
