After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

In the Jibei Palace, everyone was making noise until the palace lanterns were hung in the middle of the moon, and then they gradually dispersed.

Zhou Xianji and Wei Zi were sitting on the same bed. Although they had already taken off their wedding scarves, they were relatively speechless at this moment, just letting the candles in the hall burn quietly.

I don't know how long it took before Zhou Xianji said: "When I was a boy, I fantasized about getting married to you countless times, but I never imagined that I would get married to you under such circumstances."

Wei Zi looked at him.

The man had been ill for a long time, and his face was thin and pale under the candlelight. However, the corners of his eyebrows were beautiful and cold, which reminded her of the outlines of the snow-capped mountains she saw in the distance when the sky was clear when she and Xiao Fengxian eloped to the northern border.

She couldn't help but think that if she had not been abducted, then maybe she and Zhou Xianji would have been married long ago, maybe they would have been a very loving couple, maybe they would have even had a child.

But the world is so helpless. In the torrent and torture of the years, she has forgotten that there was a person like him in her life.

Her heart now completely belongs to Xiao Fengxian.

She lowered her head, stared at the embroidered shoes and said, "Your Highness is willing to accept me, protect me, and give me a place to stay amid those rumors. I am very grateful to you."

"I am grateful to you," Zhou Xianji said seriously, "I am grateful that you gave me an opportunity to marry Xiao Zi and take care of Xiao Zi, even though you are no longer the same Xiao Zi. I know you have someone else in your heart, and I understand that you also I'm considerate of you. Don't worry, I won't mess with you. Besides...my physical condition won't allow me to mess with you."

He laughed to himself, laughing and coughing a few more times.

After a whole day of fussing, he couldn't stand it any longer. He stood up with a pale face and said, "It's getting late, so I'm going back to the palace to rest. This palace will be exclusively for your use from now on. If you have any shortage, just ask the palace maid." Xiao Zi , there is never any need to be polite between you and me.”

He stepped out of the palace threshold and saw a man in dark black clothing sitting quietly on the eaves of the palace opposite.

It was Xiao Fengxian.

When their eyes met, Xiao Fengxian was caught off guard and immediately turned away.

Zhou Xianji raised his eyebrows.

He remembered that Xiao Fengxian didn't come to have a drink tonight, but he didn't expect that he would secretly hide here.

Xiao Zi’s sweetheart...

He looked at her closely.

He withdrew his gaze and ignored Xiao Fengxian without saying anything. He just walked calmly along the corridor to the palace where he lived.

At the turn of spring and summer, in order to marry Wei Zi, many peonies were planted in Jibei Palace. At this moment, under the moonlight, the flowers are full of flowers and the fragrance is filled.

The snow-white horse locked in the stable kicked its hooves impatiently and neighed in the long night.

Zhou Xianji held the palace lantern and looked through the corridor and flowers at the horse in the distance.

It was the foal left behind by his mother's beloved horse. Like him, the blood of the northern grasslands flowed in his body.

At this moment, with the sound of horses neighing in the distance, the loneliness after the excitement came like a tide, completely drowning Zhou Xianji.

His straight spine suddenly stooped, and the palace lantern in his hand fell to the ground. He awkwardly held on to the corridor, coughed and covered his mouth with a white handkerchief, but saw that he had coughed up a large mouthful of blood.

He smiled sadly, the chill of the night invaded his limbs, but his heart was as hot as a burning knife.

If he had never gotten sick, if he was as healthy and strong as Xiao Fengxian...

He would not be willing to just give up Xiao Zi to others.

If he had never been ill, he would have fought for anything. There was no reason in the world to give up his fiancée and Xiao Qingmei to others.

But rather...

A sweet smell rushed into his mouth, and he weakly spat out a mouthful of dirty blood. The blood rolled down his chin and onto the wedding dress, and the brightly colored wedding dress was actually dyed dark.

He is still so young, but in this season between spring and summer, he feels a bit of twilight.

Zhou Xianji closed his eyes.

He knew that her Xiao Zi was deeply loved by another man. As Xiao Fengxian was so powerful, he could protect Xiao Zi.As for himself...

When he went to the capital, he seemed to have no worries anymore.

He suddenly wanted to ride on that snow-white horse and travel thousands of miles to see the hometown of his mother and concubine.

The next day.

Under Jin Mei's service, Wei Zi put up her bun in a palace bun. She changed into a new lotus pink silk palace skirt. The light golden shawl perfectly matched the golden hairpin on her bun. It would sparkle when she walked under the spring sun. of golden light.

"It's really beautiful," Jin Mei said happily, "Your Highness will definitely like it when he sees you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jin Mei bit her lip with regret again.

The Second Highness didn't even rest at the eldest lady's place last night. They were obviously the newly married prince and concubine, but they looked more like a pair of polite brother and sister.

She knew that the eldest lady liked Xiao Fengxian, but His Highness clearly liked the eldest lady very much.

In Jin Mei's impression, these aristocratic men are the type who want to go their own way by force, but His Highness has clearly accepted the eldest lady into his family, and he can actually bear it!

Wei Zi didn't care.

She went to visit Zhou Xianji first, and he was sick again. He was lying on the couch with his hair disheveled, and his closed eyebrows were like a calm lake.

Wei Zi did not dare to disturb his recovery and ordered Qingju to prepare some exquisite tea and cakes and put them in a storage box to visit Zhou Xianyuan.

Qingju accompanied her to the cold palace. Looking at the gloomy and dilapidated palace, she couldn't help but mutter: "Miss, you too, how can a woman go to the cold palace to play on the first day after marrying into the palace? You are now the prince's concubine. , you don’t mind being unlucky..."

Wei Zicai didn't care.

She was about to go in, but out of the corner of her eye she saw a girl in red hiding furtively under the wall.

She was curious: "Miss Murong, are you also here to visit His Highness the Crown Prince?"

She hadn't seen Murong Jiuli for a long time.

Murong Jiuli was shocked.

She glared at Wei Zi strangely and sneered: "I just came to see if he was dead, what does it have to do with you? By the way, I haven't congratulated you on becoming Zhou Xianji's concubine. I heard that he broke up with you last night. Sleeping in the room, Wei Zi, you are really useless."

After saying this, Qingju was so angry that she wanted to beat her.

Wei Zi knew that Murong Jiuli was used to having bad words, so he stopped Qing Ju and ignored Murong Jiuli and went straight into the cold palace.

Zhou Xianyuan made the dilapidated palace where he stayed extremely neat and clean.

He said to Wei Zi: "The things I used are a little worn out, but at least there is no shortage of anything. Although the palace people look down on me, but fortunately the second brother, the third brother, and the fourth brother all look after me and have never been abandoned by my father because of me." He looks down on me and often arranges for palace officials to give me food and clothing. When I have nothing to do, I just read and write here, and my life is quite easy."

Wei Zi sat across from him and looked around the palace. In addition to food and clothing, some books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones were also complete.

There were even two pots of lush flowers and plants planted on the windowsill.

She smiled and said: "It's good that Your Highness has not suffered. These are some refreshments brought by your Highness. Your Highness can try them in your spare time."

Zhou Xianyuan's demeanor was clearer and mellower than before, and when facing Wei Zi, he looked like a gentle elder brother.

He smiled and said: "I heard that you married Xian Ji yesterday. I was under house arrest in the cold palace and couldn't go out to have your wedding banquet. I regretted it all night. There is nothing valuable around me. This pomegranate flower was collected with great effort by me. Yes, I can give it to you as a congratulatory gift."

Pomegranate means many children and many blessings.

It's a pity that it's not the pomegranate season yet.

If he can find pomegranate flowers, it's already pretty good.

Wei Zi thanked him sincerely and said: "By the way, when I came here, I bumped into Miss Murong." (End of Chapter)
