The name Li Xiao has experienced countless ups and downs, but Li Xiao's experience is exactly the opposite.
Li Xiao's life was very short and narrow.
His short and narrow life was extremely uneventful, and he could never imagine that there would be a more peaceful and peaceful life experience in this world than his.
The person who gave him this peaceful life was his sister, Li Shang.
My sister's life was very unstable. She took away his name and the wind and rain that belonged to him.
He and his sister knew each other before they were born, so he and his sister should be the closest people in the world.
He is very similar to my sister, but completely different.
The similarity is in appearance, and only in appearance.
My sister is strong and strong, but he is weak. My sister has never been picky about food, but he always lacks appetite for ordinary food.
When he was three years old, he was lying in his mother's arms, half asleep, with the wind and snow blowing outside the window, and there was no charcoal fire for heating in their residence. The steward's aunt asked for it in vain, but was ridiculed and humiliated. After returning empty-handed, he apologized to his mother in tears.
.
The mother didn't complain or get angry, she still patted him gently. After a long time, the mother slowly spoke, her tone was calm and straight, just like the winter snow falling quietly outside the window.
My mother said something called "the weak eat the strong".
This made the young Li Xiao feel anxious for a while. He was so weak, would he be reduced to food, would he be abandoned and thrown away?
But the fact is exactly the opposite. Because of his frailty, he received a lot of attention and favor from his mother, and a lot of protection from his sister.
My sister has had a lot of strength since she was a child. This strength is not only in her body, but also in her eyes.
My sister is really good at protecting people. He enjoys her protection very much. She is as tall as him, but every time he stands behind her, he always feels as if he has nothing to fear.
He thought so when he was a child.
As he grew up, he still believed this and became even more determined.
Starting from the age of six or seven, he and his sister slowly realized the difference between them and other princes and princesses. Their residence was remote, damp and full of insects and ants, close to the elephant garden, and often had a pungent smell.
Li Xiao thought there was nothing wrong with this. He liked those docile elephants very much.
My sister said that she also likes elephants very much, but if it’s not good, it’s not good, and if it’s unfair, it’s unfair.
My sister also said that if others have it, they should also have it.
He then asked his sister: "How can I have it?"
My sister, who was also young, was also stumped, but she said seriously: "Let me think about it."
Although she hasn't been able to come up with a solution yet, Sister A has already begun to ask him in advance: "A Xiao, what do you want?"
She looked confident that when she thought of a solution, she would get it for him immediately.
He replied: "I want to be with my sister and mother all the time."
"This is simple." My sister was not satisfied with his answer: "Is there anything else?"
He then replied: "I want a whole box full of lychees." This way my sister wouldn't have to give him hers.
"This is easy." My sister sat on the corridor with her hands on her side, looking up at the dark night sky: "Wait, I will think of a way."
"Think carefully about what else you want, and remember to tell me at any time." Sister A told him: "Axiao, you have to follow me closely."
This is something my sister often says. She said, let him follow her closely so that she can protect him.
Li Xiao likes to be my sister's follower, so he always agrees seriously. That time, after he nodded in agreement, he also asked his sister: "Sister, what do you want?"
My sister was sitting on the fence, shaking her legs, and her eyes were bright: "I want a sword."
Sister said: "If I hold it, no one will dare to bully us anymore."
The seven-year-old sister doesn't have a sword yet, and Li Xiao doesn't know how to get one, so they are still being bullied.
Since he was five or six years old, Li Xiao has been taking elementary classes with the princes, but he is in poor health and often misses classes. In addition, he likes to sit at the back. He hopes that no one will ever pay attention to him, because once those people
When you pay attention to him, you will bully him.
When class was over, he would always pretend to put away his pen and ink, until the princes had all left, laughing and joking, before he dared to get up. Whenever he was the last one to leave without being embarrassed, he would breathe a sigh of relief and feel that he had escaped.
Tribulation.
But not every time you can escape luckily.
The person who took the lead in bullying him was the third prince.
The third prince's original mother-in-law was an ordinary concubine, but since her birth, she has been raised by the eldest grandson Queen and treated as her own child.
Children in the palace know how to distinguish between pros and cons from a very young age. Many princes, as well as the accompanying family members and princes, like to surround the third prince.
Li Xiao didn’t.
It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he doesn't dare.
Those people would always ridicule him as a sick man, and their mocking words and demeanor day after day were no less severe than when their fists fell directly on him.
Li Xiao did not dare to approach the third prince, but the third prince became more and more dissatisfied with him. When he was angry occasionally, he would always vent his anger on the young Li Xiao.
Li Xiao was so scared that he even looked forward to the day when he would get sick and not go to class.
Once, he was shaking with chills due to high fever, and asked his mother in tears if he could not go to class.
My sister was standing by and saw that he was really scared, so she also helped him to beg his mother.
His mother's tone was always gentle when talking to him, but her corrective tone left no room for discussion: "You can't say such silly things."
His mother told him that as long as he is the son of his father, he must go to school.
If he doesn't go, the father will completely forget about mother and son.
In that case, they will be trapped here for the rest of their lives.
Li Xiao was frightened and desperate, and could only nod his head with tears in his eyes.
It was extremely scary, as if the days had no end, but one day, they ended unexpectedly.
One day, Li Xiao was teased by the third prince and others and fell into the water.
He was seriously ill, and when he woke up, he saw his sister put on his robe.
From then on, he stopped going to class as he wished, and his sister took his place.
He was afraid that his elder sister would also be bullied, but her elder sister always proudly told him that she had taught him a lesson today.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After that, my sister always told him that the man named Chu praised her again, although he would also hit her with a ruler.
Li Xiao admires his elder sister even more. Mrs. Chu is the most strict, and her elder sister is really powerful.
My sister is becoming more and more like a boy, but Li Xiao will occasionally ask his mother in fear - will his father know? Will he punish my sister if he finds out?
Mother shook her head gently: "No."
Does he not know? Or he doesn't punish? Li Xiao felt that there was a hint of emotion in his mother's eyes that he couldn't understand when she answered.
Then, they moved to a new residence, and his mother was promoted to a higher position. The palace officials brought many rewards that he had never seen before. The food began to be varied, the clothes were exquisite and soft, and there was no shortage of charcoal fires in winter.
Li Xiao knew that most of these things were won by his sister. Everyone said that his father liked the sister named Li Xiao very much.
Li Xiao increasingly felt that his sister was extremely powerful, but sometimes he would be confused: "Sister, you have become me, then who am I?"
"I'm just pretending to be you." My sister, who has grown much taller, corrected him: "Axiao, you will always be yourself, Li Xiao."
"What about you, sister?" Li Xiao asked again: "You always pretend to be me, then who will be Li Shang?"
My sister pretended to be Li Xiao, and he pretended to be Li Xiao, so where did Li Shang go?
My sister seems to be stumped by this problem too. There are very few problems that can stump my sister.
My sister couldn't care less about wrestling with a mere problem. She was too busy and kept getting busier and busier, until one day he actually heard that she had recommended that she go to the army for training.
He went to find his mother-in-law, but she had no intention of stopping him.
Twelve-year-old Li Xiao began to seriously think about his mother's thoughts and wishes for the first time.
Year after year, the reputation of the prince Li Xiao became more and more famous. My sister won one beautiful victory after another. The dragon was very happy and the court was excited.
The forces that were enemies of the Changsun family all surrounded my sister. Li Xiao knew that there was also lobbying and management by his mother and concubine behind this.
When my sister was fighting on the battlefield, my mother-in-law never stopped making plans.
My elder sister became the crown prince, and my mother's concubine became the queen mother.
His busy mother no longer paid as much attention to him as before, and he only felt relaxed. In the past, his mother's preference also made him feel ashamed of his sister.
My sister had long ago asked her father for permission to allow the frail and sick "Princess Chongyue" to leave the palace and build a palace to recuperate her body.
Compared with the palace, there is undoubtedly more freedom outside the palace.
The servants who serve personally are all my sister's confidants, the nanny who teaches poetry and calligraphy etiquette is from my mother's family, and the girl from the Duan family who serves as my companion is also a trustworthy person personally selected by my sister. He does not need to be restrained or disguised, and only needs to
Do what you like.
If it is said that he is lonely, he is not alone. The experience of being bullied when he was weak and thinking about his mother made Li Xiao prefer a life of solitude - or in other words, he prefers to live with his sister, but this opportunity
rare.
When my sister was in Beijing, she would often visit him.
At that time, my sister would sit relaxedly on the stone steps, and Duan Zhenyi would sit next to her. He would stand on top of the stone steps and listen to their conversation with a smile.
The young Duan Zhenyi always loved to make a fuss, and she was very energetic when she peeked at the storybook. However, when she was working as a female celebrity, she always dozed off endlessly, as if the needle and thread were sewn on her eyelids.
Duan Zhenyi talks a lot. When her sister is not around, she always chases him and asks her about things in the past and childhood.
Duan Zhenyi was very afraid of ghosts. There was a side courtyard in the princess's house that she never dared to set foot in. Just because her sister made nonsense of it and said it was haunted, she became convinced and reminded him to be careful.
Duan Zhenyi was very good-looking, but she always said with regret that compared to her sister and him, she was still a little bit behind.
During those years when he was a teenager, Li Xiao heard Duan Zhenyi's voice everywhere.
Until one day, that voice said goodbye to him.
Duan Zhenyi is getting married, and she is going to the Duke Zheng's mansion of the Wei family.
It's a very good marriage.
Li Xiao nodded and said nothing.
The thoughts of youth are just like his quiet life.
The bustle suddenly left the scene, making people who would not have been lonely feel a little lonely.
As spring turned to winter, looking at the small scenery in front of him, Li Xiao also began to want to go out to see and do something for his sister. He knew that it became increasingly difficult for her after she became the crown prince.
It's just that he occasionally thinks, even if he does go out, what can he do for his sister?
That day Yuchi told him that his sister had moved the intelligence organization to a restaurant, and even the Queen didn't know about it.
After hearing this, he told Yuchi not to tell his mother, and then said with a smile: "Maybe I can be a cook."
Yuchi also smiled: "Your Highness can at least become a military advisor. It is not impossible for His Highness to be rich in knowledge and take charge of the affairs of the building."
This is nothing but an empty assumption.
Li Xiao felt that he owed his sister a lot. She was acting as Li Xiao, but the real Li Xiao had never given anything. He had only lived under his sister's protection for many years, but could not do anything for her.
But my sister said to him: "I took away your identity without your permission, didn't I?"
Li Xiao wanted to say that this was not my sister's choice.
But how could my sister not know?
My sister only said to him: "This is the best way. Everything is good now, and that's enough. Ah Xiao, we are family members. We don't need to talk about our debts to each other."
But it's stormy outside.
My father was ill. At first, everyone thought it was just an ordinary illness. After all, my father was still in his prime.
But Li Xiao was vaguely aware of something unusual. He suspected someone, and that person was his mother.
It was impossible for Li Xiao to betray his mother. His first thought at that time was to live as long as possible.
As long as he is alive, he can cooperate with his sister at any time.
Soon after, his father died.
His body was already at the end of its tether.
During a winter rain, young Li Xiao fell on the hospital bed and never got up again.
My sister secretly left the capital to handle matters under the order of her mother, and she should still be on her way back, but he couldn't wait any longer.
His life was silent and inactive, as ordinary as water, but at this moment of his death, he had extremely strong thoughts.
In a daze, Li Xiao's eyes were completely dark, but a few stars flashed out, and he heard the voice of his young sister again in his ears.
——"Axiao, what do you want?"
——"Axiao, you have to follow me closely."
Li Xiao can now answer his sister what he wants.
In fact, Auntie has already answered for him - he just wants to follow Auntie closely.
He hoped that there would be an afterlife. He knew that he had never done any good deeds, but luckily he had no faults. He wanted to have the opportunity to follow his sister, no matter what his origin, no matter what his status, no matter how miserable he was.
Experience in exchange for such an opportunity——
He can exchange everything, but please leave him a healthy body so that he can follow his sister closely.
He has never had any greed in his life, and all his thoughts turned into this one dying wish. I wonder if it can be allowed?
As consciousness dissipated, the darkness in front of his eyes dissipated and turned into a piece of snowy white. The boundless whiteness distorted time, as if a long time passed by in a flash.
The last ray of thought was pulled, as if I heard a vague voice: "Is this your father?"
……What?
"Want to fight me?"
……What?
The white snow dissipates and everything returns to boundless silence.
Heavy snow covered the entire Gyeonggi Province. In the backyard of Dengtai Tower, a young man held a stack of books and quickly came to a study room. He raised his hand and knocked on the door: "My boss!"
Meng Lie's voice came from the study: "Come in."
The snow is still falling, and everything is silent and unconscious, but the cycle of time never stops.
