"Ayun, why did you come here suddenly? Are you done with your work?"
Xiao Xieyun pursed his lips and reached out from his cloak to pull Ying Xixi's hand out.
The tentacles are cold and red.
He looked displeased, glaring at Yueya, who had already lowered her head, and said in a cold voice, "How do you serve the Empress? You can't even use a hot water bottle to warm her hands?!"
Yueya was trembling with fear.
Ying Xixi held Xiao Xieyun's big hand with her backhand, "Ah Yun, don't blame Yueya, it wasn't snowing when I came out.
Let’s go, let’s go back to the house and warm up.”
Ying Xixi took Xiao Xieyun's hand and went back to the house.
Yueya breathed a sigh of relief as she followed beside him. It turned out that the Queen was His Majesty's nemesis!
She must secure her position as the head maid beside the Empress!
The two returned to the inner hall. Xiao Xieyun, with a cold face, held Ying Xixi's hands and warmed them for a long time. Even after they were warm, he did not let go of her hands.
Ying Xixi was next to him and broke the silence first, changing the subject, "Ayun, I don't know the situation in previous years. New Year's Eve is in a few days. How are we going to celebrate it?
Will there be a New Year's Eve banquet at the palace? Or will it just be the two of us?"
Xiao Xieyun frowned, "Do you want something more lively or quiet?"
"What I say counts?"
"Um."
Xiao Xieyun let go of Ying Xixi's hands, which had already been warmed, and instead held her cheeks with both hands to warm them.
"There aren't many people left in the royal family now. It's just you and me. If you want some quiet time, we can have the New Year's Eve family dinner together.
If you want something more lively, I will order some officials to bring their families to celebrate the New Year's Eve dinner together."
When Ying Xixi heard this, the crazy queen mother, Xiao Xieyun's biological mother, came to her mind.
She pursed her lips and wanted to ask about the Queen Mother, but she didn't know how to start.
Xiao Xieyun saw Ying Xixi's hesitation and guessed the reason for her hesitation.
"Do you want to ask about the Queen Mother?"
Ying Xixi nodded, "You guessed it, Ah Yun. It's okay if you don't want to say it."
Xiao Xieyun sighed and pulled Ying Xixi into his arms.
"What happened in the past can no longer hurt me in the slightest because I have you by my side.
Have you heard some of the rumors outside the palace? For example, I killed my father, my brothers, and my younger brother, and I even drove my biological mother crazy because of the killings.
Ying Xixi's heart tightened, and she held Xiao Xieyun's big hand tightly, "I've heard of it, but I think there must be a misunderstanding.
I've also heard that you were once the most distinguished young master in the capital, a man of both talent and virtue, and a handsome appearance. Many noble ladies at the time wanted to marry you and become the prince's consort. There's no mistaking your title of "First Young Master."
Xiao Xieyun curled his lips, and his heart was warmed by Ying Xixi.
"What if I say there's no misunderstanding? Would you be afraid of me?"
Ying Xixi shook her head firmly, "Ayun, I will never be afraid of you.
Even if it's all true, I still think there must be a reason why you did it."
Xiao Xieyun hugged the person in his arms tightly, his eyes and nose felt sore, and his voice became a little hoarse.
"How can you trust me so unconditionally? What if I really am a cruel and ruthless tyrant?"
"Of course it's because I know you're not. If you were truly a tyrant, I would have run away long ago!"
Feeling Xiao Xieyun's arms tightening around her, Ying Xixi quickly added, "I definitely won't run away now or in the future! Don't worry!"
Xiao Xieyun's low laughter sounded in Ying Xixi's ears, making her ears feel a little itchy.
The two hugged each other for a while, and then Xiao Xieyun let her go, letting her find a comfortable position in his arms, and then he talked about the past.
“Including me, there were ten princes in the former royal family.
I have two younger brothers who are from the same mother as me.
The late queen had three thousand beauties in her harem. She favored one concubine today and another concubine tomorrow. My mother was not favored. Even if she was favored for a period of time, it did not last long.
In addition, the late emperor had too many sons, so even if my mother had three sons, she could not gain status by virtue of her sons.
At the beginning, the three of us brothers had no idea about the throne, nor did we dare to have any idea.
The other seven princes fought fiercely for the throne, and it can be said that they were beaten to a pulp by overt and conspiracies.
Even though some of them are brothers from the same mother, it does not affect their scheming against each other.
The three of us brothers discussed this at the time, and we all said that we hoped we wouldn't become as hideous as those people.
But later, maybe the fact that the three of us brothers were "unsociable" made some of the seven people dissatisfied.
They want to muddy the waters so they can fish in troubled waters.
So they started to sow discord among the three of us brothers.
They use all sorts of means to drag us down and make us like them.
Later they were successful. My two brothers schemed against each other and also against me.
My third brother died at the hands of my second brother, but my second brother blamed me for my third brother's death.
I didn't want to, so I had an argument with him. My second brother got so angry that he took out a knife and wanted to kill me.
At that time, in order to save my life, I could only wrestle with him desperately.
In the end, I stabbed the knife in his hand into his heart, and he beat me until my head was bleeding.
Unfortunately, this scene was witnessed by my mother, who was so shocked that she went crazy.
She couldn't accept that her sons would kill each other.
After my second and third brothers died, those seven people spread the news that I had killed my brothers with my own hands.
