Rebirth of the Blind

Never knew this day would come so fast.

As soon as I stepped on the ground, I felt a piercing coldness on the soles of my feet, and suddenly remembered that this winter has not passed yet.

Xiao Xizi, who was holding the toiletries, saw Xia standing barefoot on the ground as soon as she entered the door. In a moment of impatience, she put the toiletries on the ground casually, ran to Xia's side, and helped him back to the bed, with a flat-mouthed, half-complaining tone. Said: "Gentleman, why did you get out of bed like this? It's cold now, next month will be the New Year, and now is the coldest time."

"I just thought of one thing..." Xia said helplessly for Xiao Xizi's 'blame'.

Xiao Xizi raised her head when she heard the words, her eyes were full of doubts, "Gentleman, what's the matter? From now on, you can just call yourself a slave if you have something to do, don't just go to the ground without wearing shoes, your body is not the same as a slave. If you are a slave , Kneeling in the snow for a whole day is common, at most you feel a little uncomfortable, you are different, just you..."

Xiao Xizi talked a lot on her own, not noticing Xia's dim eyes for a moment.

There is really no difference in his body and bones. In terms of status, Xiao Xizi is better than his birth.If he hadn't been premeditatedly brought into the palace, he would still be a little beggar among the many beggars in the capital, wearing the most humble clothes and wrapped in a quilt that could barely keep warm, hoping that someone would throw him a quilt every day. For a few pennies, I will reward him with a steamed bun.

"Gentleman, gentleman?"

"what?"

"The slave has called you several times, why didn't you respond?"

Xia shook her head helplessly, "I just thought of something." The foot was wrapped in a hot handkerchief, and Xiao Xizi wiped it. When changing the other foot, Xiao Xizi cried out in surprise, "Gentleman, what happened to your foot?" There is a wound!?"

"Wounds?" Why didn't he feel any wounds?Did you not notice it because it was too cold when you stepped on the ground just now?

Xiao Xizi nodded several times, "Yeah, it's quite a big hole. My servant will wipe it clean for you first." After carefully wiping it several times, Xiao Xizi took the spare medicine and put it on his so-called wound. Apply two layers, and then wrap gauze around him, "Gentleman, this wound is a bit big, why don't you stop walking around for the next two days, and take a good rest in bed first?"

Xia rejected Xiao Xizi's proposal without thinking, "Your Majesty said that he will take me to find Concubine Xue together after the court."

Thinking that the woman with the crisp female voice had now turned into a gentle woman, he felt that time passed so quickly.The last time I met her by chance, both the way of speaking and the way of dealing with people have matured a lot, and she spoke with the tone that a concubine should have.This made him feel that she was no longer the woman who could drag him to the bedroom, talk to him, and give him the handkerchief embroidered by herself, regardless of other people's eyes.

"Then there is no other way, His Majesty's order cannot be disobeyed." Xiao Xizi was worried about whether to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get a pair of cotton shoes, so that walking might not be so painful, but the cotton shoes of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all freshly made. It would take an hour for him to wait for it to be ready, but His Majesty quickly bowed down.

"Okay, help me change my clothes first."

"promise."

Xiao Yinzi, who had been standing outside the door, came in at the right time, took the comb from the troubled Xiao Xizi, and said in a contemptuous tone: "I'll come, what will you do?" Seeing Xiao Xizi angry Turning his face away, the little lead was straightened up, and he concentrated on sending it to Xia Pan.

"Gentleman, I have already arranged your hair. It is a relatively simple style. You are going to the Concubine Xue today. It is reasonable to say that it should not be too outstanding, so I will not step in for you, so I made a simple jade hairpin. Others Places are secured with trinkets."

Listening to Xiao Yinzi's words almost made him laugh.Outstanding?These two words would never appear on him, but Concubine Xue really shouldn't dress up too much, and he doesn't like it either.

"kindness."

After breakfast, Xia waited in the bedroom for more than half an hour, but His Majesty still hadn't appeared. The uneasiness that accompanied him when he woke up early in the morning reappeared.

Putting my hands on my wrists, touching the distinct beads, my restless heart calmed down a bit.

"Gentleman, it's already this hour, will His Majesty not come? Otherwise, at this time, at Concubine Xue's place, do you still have to stay for dinner?" Xiao Xizi hesitated to speak for a long time and finally asked.

On the contrary, Xiao Yinzi didn't pay attention to the time, but kept looking at the string of Buddhist beads worn on Xia's wrist.

Ever since he had this string of Buddha beads, the gentleman would touch them from time to time, and then his face was full of worry, but at this moment Xia was touching one by one without repeating it, which always made him feel that something was wrong, so he stayed quietly, Watching Xia's every move.

Xiao Xizi looked out bored and saw a few people sneaking past the door, ran out without thinking, pointed at those people, put one hand on her waist and said: "Who are you, spying on us gentlemen? Let me tell you, if you don't explain it properly, you will be punished when your Majesty comes down!"

Xiao Yinzi looked dissatisfied at Xiao Xizihu's fake tiger posture, but he also knew that only in this way can those weird people be scared.

Several people glanced at each other, not knowing what to say, so they could only push out a leader and said with a playful smile: "We are just passing by, and we are both little father-in-laws. What are you talking about like that? Kindness makes money, kindness makes money."

"Damn! How can the imperial palace make money by being friendly? Today I want to know what your goals are."

"Hey, what are you talking about, just ignore him, it's not certain whether he will have a backstage in a few days." An obviously disdainful voice whispered.

Xiao Xizi narrowed her eyes, and looked at the little eunuch hiding behind the leader, "What do you mean by that?"

"No, I didn't say anything." The little eunuch did not seriously deny it, but yawned with undisguised disdain.

"Xiao Xizi, forget it, let them go." Xia, who had never spoken, said in a moderate voice.

Xiao Xizi looked at Xia with puzzlement and annoyance, although she wanted to teach the little eunuch a lesson, she still didn't dare to openly disobey Xia's words, she could only complain, "Gentleman!"

"Come back, His Majesty will be here in a while, it might be bad if His Majesty sees you."

Knowing that this is a gentleman's perfunctory words, but it was indeed given to Xiao Xizi, Xiao Xizi didn't dare to say anything, so she could only wave her hands boringly, letting them go away.

After rushing into the room, Xiao Xizi directly expressed her dissatisfaction, "Gentleman, you are always like this, how can you build up your prestige in the future?"

Xia sat on the chair, listening to Xiao Xizi's half-complaining words, and when Xiao Xizi gradually subsided, he said, "Xiao Xizi, in fact, that person was right."

"What?" Xiao Xizi felt a little confused.

"Be more polite to them in the future." He said helplessly. In fact, no matter whether it is him, Xiao Xizi or Xiao Yinzi, everyone understands that his current favor is only temporary and won't be popular for long at all. If he offends people now, he What will happen when he falls out of favor?He doesn't care, but if he implicates these two people, maybe he will continue to feel guilty.

Xiao Xizi is doing his best for him wholeheartedly, but Xiao Yinzi...he doesn't know, but he also understands that this person is good for him.

"Gentlemen..."

Xiao Xizi wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Xiao Yinzi, "Listen to the gentleman. The gentleman is thinking of you."

Xiao Xizi kept silent.

"His Majesty is here!"

Wei Yan's voice made the three of them raise their heads at the same time, Xiao Xizi and Xiao Yinzi quickly walked to the door with Xia, and saluted His Majesty.

"Kowtow to Your Majesty."

"Get up."

There was nothing wrong with His Majesty's tone, which finally made Xia feel better.He always thought that something happened to the court, that's why His Majesty didn't come.

The two of them quietly watching His Majesty's expression knew that His Majesty's expression was not as good as his tone showed. On the contrary, there were some dark clouds, which made people worry about whether something happened.

"Okay, I'm late, you won't blame me, will you?"

"I dare not."

"In that case, you can follow me to listen to Yu Gong now."

Xia had already made preparations, bent down and said, "No."

Ling Yuancheng took Xia's hand and left. Xiao Xizi knew how to measure and didn't follow. Xiao Yinzi wanted to follow, but seeing Wei Yan's gaze, she silently withdrew her foot.

"Xiao Yinzi, I always feel that something is wrong with Your Majesty, did something happen?" After losing sight of those people, Xiao Xizi spoke out uncertainly.

"Who knows." Xiao Yinzi replied thoughtfully.

The only bad thing in the deep palace is that if you don't want others to know, you will never let the wind out, especially in front of the parties.

Xia followed His Majesty with a shy face, already used to His Majesty holding his hand.From the initial resistance to the current habit, he feels that he seems to have changed a lot. When did it start?Even he had no way of knowing, the only thing he knew was that he was really gradually getting used to the feeling of His Majesty by his side.

Maybe even the Eighth Prince, who is a friend, can't give this kind of feeling, maybe it's because he's been lonely for too long, that's why others gave him a little, and he foolishly treats him as a treasure.

"What are you thinking?" Ling Yuancheng asked.

"No, no." Xia faintly blushed and replied.

Ling Yuancheng responded casually, and said again: "You should know that Concubine Xue is going to give birth in five months, and I hope you can raise that child by then."

Such an important sentence was simply uttered by Ling Yuancheng, and the listeners were so frightened, even Wei Yan behind him was deeply puzzled.

"Xia, Xia dare not!" Let him raise the child?How would he raise a child as a blind man?Arabian Nights!How could His Majesty think so carefully?

What's more...he didn't want to take away Concubine Xue's child.How much that person looks forward to the birth of the child, and the meaning that the child represents, he knows it all. How can he accept it when he understands it like this?

Ling Yuancheng ignored Xia's refusal, "I will never take back what I have decided, you should know."

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xue can take good care of the children, but Xia has a disability, so I'm afraid she can't take good care of the emperor's heir." Xia thought for a long time before declining.

How could Ling Yuancheng not know the thoughts of the people around him, "I will arrange for the wet nurse to follow you, you just need to put the child by your side to raise it. Do you understand?" This tone obviously did not allow Xia to continue talking.

"..." Xia didn't answer, and he didn't know how to answer. He always felt that things seemed far more complicated. Was the only thing he could do was to be a puppet standing obediently?
