Big Moon Ballad

"Dear?"

Li Ji was stunned for a moment, because few people mentioned his family in front of him before.

Zhao Guang and him have known each other since childhood, and they know what he has experienced, so they never bring it up uninterestedly.Apart from Zhao Guang, he also had careful conversations with Ying Baoyue and Ji Jiashu, both of whom were well-proportioned and courteous people who would never ask about his personal affairs.

Speaking of which, he had never been with a middle-aged woman like Ms. Yao for such a long time before.

Although the matter involves privacy, but the other party's eyes are warm and sincere, it can be seen that he really cares about him, if he doesn't answer the other party will be disappointed, but...

"I……"

Li Ji opened his mouth, really not knowing what to say.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm a woman who talks too much." Realizing that the person on the other side was speechless, Ms. Yao was so embarrassed that her ears turned red.

It was because she was too complacent, but she forgot her identity after talking to Li Ji for a few more words, and she was so talkative like a village woman in the mountains, which made people hate her.

"It's okay," Li Ji shook his head, "Unfortunately, I don't have any family to talk about."

It's good if someone is willing to chat with him, he has been very hostile recently, talking to such a person makes Li Ji feel that he is still alive in the world.

He pondered for a moment, then opened his mouth.

"When I was born, my biological mother passed away," Li Ji calmly said, "My father raised me alone in a remote courtyard, and his servants took care of me growing up."

"When I was 12 years old, I was taken captive. After I escaped halfway, I was rescued by a hermit in the forest. Just one year later, the benefactor who rescued me was also killed. I escaped from the forest. He escaped and was picked up and adopted by the Soochow Master."

"After that, I will become Lord Zhaohua of Soochow."

In just a few words, he summed up his life so far.

"This..." Ms. Yao was stunned and regretted for a while.

She originally thought that a well-educated and well-educated person like Li Ji must have been carefully raised by a wealthy family, but she never thought that his life experience would be so rough.

"I'm sorry," Ms. Yao's face flushed red, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, "I...I didn't mean to..."

"I know," Li Ji smiled gently, looking at the moonlight outside the broken window, "You don't need to be so concerned. For me, the past was not all painful things."

In those broken days, he did meet the moon and light that belonged to him.

Even the mother who left him early left all her love to him.

He had only recently realized it.

"My mother was an amazing woman."

"Mother?"

Hearing Li Ji's whispered confession, Ms. Yao was stunned and asked cautiously, "But isn't Lingtang..."

According to Li Ji's account, his mother probably died of dystocia when giving birth to him.Li Ji was just born at that time, how could he leave the memory of his mother?
"You may not believe it, but I remember my mother," Li Ji said softly, "although I don't remember very clearly."

Because it's too vague, it's not like a memory, it's more like a feeling.

That was his first image of the world.

Even though so many dark and painful things happened afterwards, his initial memory of this world was extremely warm.

He remembered that there was a person's eyes covering him, warm and extremely gentle.

"My child...is beautiful."

This was the first voice in Li Ji's memory.

No one told him, but he knew it was his mother's voice.

His mother kept her eyes on him, and put something soft on him.

"Mother can't walk with you, I hope you... have a safe and smooth life."

Life is safe and smooth.

This is what a mother wishes for her son.

"What is that thing?"

Ms. Yao was fascinated by hearing this, and couldn't help asking.

"It's a hair tie." Li Ji smiled slightly, and made a little gesture with his fingertips. "It's not something valuable, but it has my name embroidered on it."

"Headband?"

Ms. Yao was taken aback for a moment, her voice was a little strange.

"That's right," Li Ji was immersed in memories, and glanced at her, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Officer Yao clenched her fingers tightly, thinking that she was thinking too much, and prevaricated, "Your name is not easy to embroider."

"I didn't use that name before," Li Ji shook his head, his eyes as calm as water, "I used to be called Ji, Ji Fang Ji."

Officer Yao felt a pain in her palm, and the fingertips of her tightly clenched hands accidentally pierced her flesh.

"This name..."

"It's not very auspicious, right?" Li Ji said clearly, thinking that the other party was surprised by his old name.

His eyes turned cold, "My father personally gave me this name."

On the Xiling Snow Mountain, when he was fighting with Chunyu Ye, he fell off a cliff and fell into a coma. In a deep hallucination, he saw the earliest past hidden in the depths of his memory, and heard the discussion about his parents about his name.

"Husband, isn't it a little unlucky to send this word..."

Even though his mother objected, his father insisted on giving him this name.

"I've made up my mind, let him send it."

"He is only temporarily placed here, not our child!"

He is not a child of their family.

Li Ji sighed in his heart, so when he was born, he only had a first name and no surname.

He is different from Zhao Guang and Zhao Muren.

"My father doesn't admit that I'm his child," Li Ji smiled lightly, "Even if there are relatives still alive on my father's side, I'm afraid they can't be regarded as my relatives."

Most of those people don't know his existence, and if they know, they probably can't treat him as a relative.

Li Ji's eyes sank slightly, and a tall figure standing in front of the window appeared in front of his eyes.

"It turns out...that's how it is..." Lady Yao replied with difficulty, she regretted bringing up the matter of her relatives in front of Li Ji very much.

"You don't have to feel sorry for me." Li Ji noticed that the other party was depressed, and smiled, "Blood relationship is not the most important thing."

"I have a younger brother who doesn't know we are related by blood, but still treats me like a brother."

"Really?" Officer Yao nodded, her eyes suddenly widened, "Wait, the other party doesn't know?"

How can there be such a brother who unilaterally knows the identity of the other party?
Li Ji's gaze became complicated and difficult to describe, "Because he is a simple-minded person."

"My father did not publicize my existence and I never met him as a child."

If he didn't have the memory of his birth, he probably wouldn't know who his parents were in his life.

But even if he does not have that memory, it is not difficult to find clues in carefully recalling the details of his childhood life.

Although the small courtyard he lived in when he was a child was dilapidated, it was located in the forbidden area of ​​the palace, and no one could enter except the underage prince living in the deep palace and the cronies of the Soochow King.

It was also because of this that he was able to meet Zhao Guang in that place.

Raise an underage child deep in the forbidden area of ​​the palace.

Who else could he be?
