Chapter 53 - The next of kin

In just one sentence, it sounded like thunder in Funing's ears, making him unable to react for a moment: "Prince Ping...Old Prince? Uncle?"

Xun Yi nodded, with a smile on his face, but there was a hint of mockery in his expression: "Guess, who is this person pretending to be someone else?"

Fu Ning looked at Xun Yi's expression, and asked tentatively, "Auntie?"

It's just that although he answered like this in his mouth, he vaguely felt in his heart that the truth should not be like this.

Xun Yi really shook his head: "It's not her, it's a person who pretends to be passionate."

"At that time, my father was only in his teens, and my grandparents left early, so there was no talk of marriage; that person didn't know where he knew that he might be interested in my mother, so he pretended to be my mother. He sent an invitation letter to my father in his name."

Fu Ning thought for a while: "Is the purpose of this person writing the letter to test whether the uncle at that time was really interested in the aunt?"

"Ah."

Fu Ning frowned: "It's a little too selfish to do this." If it is for the sake of expressing one's heart, it is barely reasonable, but if it is only for such an unreasonable reason, there is no reason to say it.

Xun Yi said: "But this person doesn't think so. He has always been arbitrary, and he must do what he has decided, so he sent the letter to Prince Ping's mansion that night; but on that day, the first emperor, the queen mother, and several royal families The relatives, including my mother's mother, happen to be in Prince Ping's Mansion, and they are asking my father to choose the name card of Miss Aristocratic Family."

Fu Ning frowned: "Then this letter—"

"Of course I was taken seriously." Xun Yi said, "At that time, my father and my mother were just acquaintances, and we had a few words; Called my father's baby name directly - this baby name, except for my father's elders and a few close people, no one knows."

He chuckled: "The baby name that has never been known by others was randomly called by a boudoir daughter - who would believe that the two of them are really innocent?"

"Then—the aunt's family is also here, and they haven't raised any objections?"

"My mother's mother's family is in decline, and it is the time when someone needs to raise her status. How could she let go of the great opportunity presented to her?" Xun Yi said lightly, "My mother's mother knelt down on the spot and begged The first emperor and the empress dowager proposed marriage; my father had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree."

The two people who have no feelings are forcibly tied together because of a sudden letter, which can't be regarded as a good relationship.

Fu Ning was silent for a moment, and asked, "Uncle, is it for the sake of my aunt's dignity, or to protect the person who wrote the letter?"

Xun Yi looked at him and nodded his forehead: "As expected of you, you are so smart."

"My father felt that the letter was strange at the time, and after a few glances, he recognized it. It was someone he knew who imitated my mother's handwriting, but he couldn't tell this person."

Xun Yi's voice was indifferent, as if he was telling a story about a stranger: "If my mother was really an ordinary boudoir lady at the time, there would be no harm in marrying her; but unfortunately, she already had a lover at that time. But that lover He was just a poor scholar with a low status, how could he compare to the high-ranking and powerful Prince Ping's Mansion? So her mother's family found a random excuse and beat the scholar to death."

Funing gasped.

"My mother wasn't a troublemaker at first, she was only self-willed for that scholar, but she didn't expect that there would be a difference between yin and yang overnight; after the scholar died, she didn't cry or make trouble, she put on her head and married into the In Prince Ping's Mansion, I have been a married couple with my father for many years, and it seems that I was born under the urging of others."

Xun Yi spoke with a smile in his voice, but Funing really couldn't laugh.

Because of a certain person's willfulness, an unsatisfactory marriage was created.Even if he just listened to this matter, he could still feel the deep sorrow inside; and Xun Yi, who could tell it as a story, how would he feel in his heart when he knew these things for the first time?

There was a soft sound of water, and the warm touch became real. It was Funing who held Xun Yi's hand in the water.

Seeing that he was silent, Xun Yi smiled lightly and said, "Why, do you love me?"

He originally thought that Fu Ning would make a joke following his words, but he didn't expect that Fu Ning nodded seriously: "Yeah."

Fu Ning's silent and quiet appearance is indeed pretty, but Xun Yi can't bear him to be uncomfortable.Stretching out his hand to brush the hair from Funing's ears, he said slowly: "Actually, I didn't feel any special when I knew about these things; after all, although my father and mother kept smiling in front of me, but when I was away , The two of them didn't even talk - but they should be able to talk a little more after staying in the northwest for so long."

"It's definitely possible." Funing responded like this, but he knew very well in his heart that it was almost impossible.

In the best years of my life, I watched the person I liked die unexpectedly, but I had to happily marry a stranger. No matter who experienced this kind of experience, I'm afraid it would be an unforgettable despair.

The wind outside the mountain became more and more urgent, and there was a sound of whimpering, but the steaming courtyard was still warm and harmonious.

Fu Ning raised his eyes to look at the sky, and suddenly opened his eyes wide: "It's snowing."

Xun Yi followed his gaze, and saw in the dim light, white pieces like broken jade falling from the sky, and then disappeared without a trace in the sky above the courtyard.

"It was also in such a snowy day. When I asked her why she didn't take my father with her when she went to the streets, she told me about it in a flat tone."

"I was still young at that time, and I didn't quite understand why she cried as soon as she spoke; but I always remember that she once told me seriously that if I want to stay together forever, I must choose the person I love most in my life .”

Xun Yi looked at Fu Ning with focused and sincere eyes: "I'm very glad that I have found it."

Fu Ning looked at him, but suddenly showed a provocative smile: "That's not necessarily true. After all, this life is long, and some people may be the favorite at this moment; but maybe after three or five years, His Royal Highness will meet you." It's even more—uh!"

a long time.

Xun Yi let go of him, and helped him tidy up his clothes which were a little messy under the water.

Fu Ning took a breath, and gave him a non-threatening look: "His Royal Highness speaks carefully, what's the point of biting people?"

"Who told you to provoke me first?" Xun Yi smiled lowly and held him in his arms, "Mr. Fu is not necessarily strong, but he is really good at eloquence; if it weren't for this son's firm personality, he would almost be so angry You will be executed on the spot."

Fu Ning said: "If I'm not eloquent, I'm afraid Brother Sheng will not like me."

"Not only do I like the eloquent tongue, but my mother also likes it." Xun Yi looked at him with a smile in his eyes, "She will come to the capital in a few days, how about you meeting her then?"

Whoever the son likes, his mother will definitely like it?

Ten days later, Funing looked at the invitation card on his desk, feeling full of uncertainty in his heart.

Dear friend Ziyu:

I heard that my little friend has a very close relationship with my son. I wonder if I will be free tomorrow to meet up with my Xinghualou?

The content of the letter was simple, and it was not even signed, but the small red seal at the end of the letter clearly stated that the person who wrote to him was the Mrs. Ping Wang who only listened to her but never met her face. .

"Master, are you going?"

Seeing that Fu Ning remained silent for a long time, the book boy asked in a low voice.

Fu Ning was silent for another moment, and took a deep breath as if accepting his fate: "I'll go."?
