In his previous life, Nan Gongjing suffered a tragic betrayal and, despite being rescued, still met a miserable end. Now, returning to the eve of his awakening, he vows to make those who harmed him...
Chapter 51 Birthday
Chapter 51 Birthday
No matter how smart Xuanyuan Xi is, he is still just a child and has not experienced much.
He didn't know that Xuanyuan Zhang was deliberately blasting him, and thought that Concubine Li's health had really improved. He was a little confused, wondering if the effect of the medicine had been eliminated or if it was not effective enough.
Fortunately, Xuanyuan Xi was muttering in his heart but did not show it on his face, so Xuanyuan Zhang did not notice anything unusual.
Xuanyuan Zhang had originally wondered whether the people behind the scenes would show any unusual expression when they heard that his mother's health had improved, but he found that no one looked unusual, and a trace of disappointment flashed through his heart.
However, Xuanyuan Zhang thought about it and felt that it made sense. His brothers were only about ten years old at most. How could they possibly get the medicine to harm others? If someone really attacked his mother, it must be the mother of these brothers. It was impossible for them to harm others personally.
Xuanyuan Chao and others didn't know that Xuanyuan Zhang was bluffing. They thought that Concubine Li's health had really improved, and they were all very happy.
"The tutor is here. Let's go to class first. We can talk after class." Xuanyuan Zhang saw that everyone wanted to say something, so he spoke quickly. He was worried that if he continued, he would reveal his flaws.
Xuanyuan Xingyao and the others then realized that the second class had already started, and they all returned to their seats obediently.
After class, Xuanyuan Chao walked to Xuanyuan Zhang and asked about Concubine Li's situation, but Xuanyuan Xingyao did not go over again. After all, he and Concubine Li were not very familiar with each other, and it was enough for him to follow the crowd and show some concern.
Nangong Jing was Xuanyuan Xingyao's study partner, so since Xuanyuan Xingyao didn't go, it was naturally impossible for him to go alone.
After school at noon, Xuanyuan Zhang was thinking about Concubine Li, so he packed up and left in a hurry as soon as the get out of class was over. However, he had been doing this for the past few days, so no one found it strange.
Nangong Jing packed up his books and walked out with Feng Xuanzhou and Xuanyuan Xingyao.
"Your birthday is coming soon, how are you going to celebrate it? Are you going to hold a party?" Nangong Jing asked Xuanyuan Xingyao.
Xuanyuan Xingyao nodded indifferently and replied, "Yes, that's what my father said."
Xuanyuan Xingyao actually doesn't like crowds and banquets, but the emperor said that his birthday must be celebrated properly. Even the queen and Xuanyuan Leng said so. What could Xuanyuan Xingyao do? He had to agree.
"I don't really like parties either. Every time my father invites people to a party, those people either grab me to ask about my homework or check on how my magic practice is going. Some of my friends' children also speak in a sarcastic way to me. If my brother and others hadn't stopped them, I would have hit them and looked down on them. Nangong, have you ever had such an experience?" Feng Xuanzhou was also full of resentment about this party.
Because of his high status and good interpersonal relationships, the Left Prime Minister had many friends, young and old. Every year during the New Year and other festivals, many people would come to visit him, and many would bring their children with them.
Those who are of lower status than the Left Prime Minister naturally dare not bully the children of the Feng family, and will even flatter them. But those who are of similar status will naturally not submit to each other. Some of the more willful ones will even compare themselves with people of the same age like Feng Xuanzhou. Anyway, Feng Xuanzhou really doesn't like gatherings.
Nangong Jing paused for a moment when Feng Xuanzhou asked him this, then he said casually, "I rarely saw my father before. When there were guests at home, my eldest brother and his family usually stayed with my father."
Of course, his talent in his previous life was another matter after it was discovered. Anyway, in this life till now, Nangong Jing had rarely appeared in front of Nangong Tao and his friends. He was just a completely transparent person.
Nangong Jing's words stunned Feng Xuanzhou and Xuanyuan Xingyao for a moment, and then they both remembered the information about Nangong Jing. His biological mother died early and he was not favored. It was not until he awakened his summoner talent at the age of five that he showed it to others.
Feng Xuanzhou felt a little embarrassed and awkward. He scratched the back of his head and apologized to Nangong Jing, "I'm sorry, Nangong, I forgot."
"It's okay. What's there to be sorry about? I don't care." He might have cared about it when he was this age in his previous life, but now he really doesn't care about it.
Even though Nangong Jing kept saying that it was nothing and he didn't care, both Feng Xuanzhou and Xuanyuan Xingyao felt that he was just being stubborn. How could a child not yearn for the love of his parents?
"When is your birthday?" Xuanyuan Xingyao suddenly changed the subject and asked about Nangong Jing's birthday.
Nangong Jing looked at Xuanyuan Xingyao with some confusion, as if wondering why he suddenly asked this question. However, despite the confusion, he answered honestly, "On the third day of your birthday."
It was a coincidence that Nangong Jing and Xuanyuan Xingyao were not only two years apart in age, but also had birthdays that were only two days apart. It had to be said that they were quite destined to be together.
Xuanyuan Xingyao's eyes flashed with surprise after hearing Nangong Jing's answer. What a coincidence?
Xuanyuan Xingyao was about to say something when Feng Xuanzhou shouted, "What a coincidence! Doesn't that mean that after attending the Seventh Prince's birthday party, I'll be attending yours next? You're going to hold a birthday party, right?"
"Probably not. My mother died giving birth to me, so I seldom celebrate my birthday." It's quite ironic that his birthday is his mother's death anniversary, so Nangong Jing seldom celebrates his birthday, whether in his previous life or this life.
Because every birthday is like a reminder to him that his mother died giving birth to him.
Even though he knew that Qiao Huan'er died because of the women in Nangong Tao's backyard, Nangong Jing still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.
He felt that if he had not been born, how could Qiao Huan'er have been killed by someone who found an opportunity. If he had not been born, perhaps Qiao Huan'er would still be alive and well.
A trace of regret flashed across Feng Xuanzhou's eyes. He felt that he was too bad at speaking. He had touched Nangong Jing's sore spot by asking about the party just now, and now he had touched Nangong Jing's sore spot again. He was so stupid.
Xuanyuan Xingyao also felt that Feng Xuanzhou was too bad at talking. He had just said that he didn't like parties, but now he was asking Nangong Jing if he would hold a birthday party.
Even though he knew rationally that Feng Xuanzhou just wanted to celebrate with Nangong Jing, Xuanyuan Xingyao was still a little annoyed.
"You will celebrate your birthday with me from now on. After my birthday party, we will invite some people to my palace to celebrate your birthday." Xuanyuan Xingyao looked at Nangong Jing and said seriously.
Nangong Jing looked at Xuanyuan Xingyao's serious and earnest eyes, his eyes suddenly turned red, his nose felt sore and he wanted to cry.
Nangong Jing didn't know that he was actually crying, tears gushing out of his eyes.
It's just that he was probably too excited and didn't notice it, but Xuanyuan Xingyao and Feng Xuanzhou saw it all.
When Nangong Jing cried, Feng Xuanzhou and Xuanyuan Xingyao were a little flustered. They didn't understand why Nangong Jing was crying, and more importantly, they didn't know how to comfort a child, even though they were just children themselves.
When Nangong Jing saw the panicked expressions of Xuanyuan Xingyao and Feng Xuanzhou, he also felt the heat on his cheeks.
He reacted and wiped it with his hand, then burst into tears of joy and said, "I'm sorry if I scared you, I'm just so touched. Seventh Prince, no one has ever been as kind to me as you are, and even gave me half of your birthday."
Xuanyuan Xingyao asked Nangong Jing to celebrate his birthday with him from now on. In Nangong Jing's view, this was no different from sharing half of his birthday with him.
Few people in this life, past or present, cared so much about Nangong Jing. In his previous life, Nangong Tao had been quite kind to Nangong Jing. However, Nangong Jing's birthday was also the anniversary of Qiao Huan'er's death. Nangong Tao was too sad to celebrate, so how could he possibly celebrate Nangong Jing's birthday? As for the others, let's not talk about them.
Sometimes, Nangong Mu would send Nangong Jing a gift a day or two in advance as a birthday present, but he had never celebrated Nangong Jing's birthday in advance specifically for him.
"I told you, just call me by my name when no one's around." Xuanyuan Xingyao didn't like how polite Nangong Jing was being to him. They were already so familiar with each other, and there were no outsiders around, so why was he still calling him Seventh Prince?
However, Nangong Jing's words still made Xuanyuan Xingyao feel a little sad. He was so moved just by celebrating a birthday together. How miserable must Nangong Jing's life been in the past.
"Xuanyuan." Nangong Jing was still a little hesitant and directly called Xuanyuan Xingyao Xingyao. It was not because they were not familiar with each other, but Nangong Jing was simply a little embarrassed to call him so intimately.
Although Xuanyuan Xingyao was a little unhappy that Nangong Jing only called himself Xuanyuan, it was still an improvement after all, so Xuanyuan Xingyao didn't care about it.
Feng Xuanzhou watched the interaction between Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing, and he always felt that something was strange. They were obviously still children, but he actually felt a hint of pink bubbles from their gaze. Was he wrong?
Feng Xuanzhou shook his head, throwing away the random thoughts in his mind. He began to think about what birthday gift he should give to Nangong Jing.
Nangong Jing must have not received many birthday gifts over the years, so he must give him a big gift to make up for the birthday gifts he received over the years.
Not only Feng Xuanzhou thought so, but Xuanyuan Xingyao also thought so. He was wondering if there were any treasures in his warehouse that were suitable for Nangong Jing and could be given to him as a birthday gift.
Nangong Jing didn't know that Xuanyuan Xingyao and Feng Xuanzhou were thinking of giving him a big gift to make up for the birthday gifts he had received in previous years. If he knew, he would definitely be even more touched.
Even now, Nangong Jing is very happy and feels that he is so lucky to have two good friends, Xuanyuan Xingyao and Feng Xuanzhou.
Think about Feng Xuanzhou and Xuanyuan Xingyao, and then think about how he and Nangong Dao joined forces in his previous life to kill his so-called friends. How blind he was in his previous life.
Nangong Jing was in a good mood, and he had a bright smile on his face until he went to find Han Yan for class in the afternoon. Han Yan couldn't help but ask Nangong Jing if he had encountered any good things and was so happy.
Nangong Jing naturally would not hide it from Han Yan, and even invited Han Yan to attend his birthday party.
After listening to Nangong Jing's story, Han Yan was a little surprised at first that Nangong Jing's birthday was only two days away from Xuanyuan Xingyao's. At the same time, he began to think about what gift he should prepare for Nangong Jing.
But when he heard that Nangong Jing had never celebrated his birthday since he was a child, and was so happy just because Xuanyuan Xingyao celebrated his birthday in advance, he felt very sad, and at the same time he had some complaints towards Nangong Tao.
Isn't Nangong Jing the child of your beloved? Although I can understand that Nangong Tao used to protect Nangong Jing. I can also understand Nangong Tao's awkwardness when facing Nangong Jing, but at least you should celebrate your birthday. Can't you celebrate it in advance like Xuanyuan Xingyao? It's really too much. Author's words: Thank you Bole 9492239 (9492239) for your support, mua! To know more exciting content, please leave me a message on Liancheng Reading
