Playful Queen

Chapter 355

Seeing that the master had stood up, Madam Xue quickly came back to her senses, stepped forward and said respectfully: "Madam, the food is ready, and Prince Qi Rui is already on his way."

Xia Yunxi smiled lightly, and quickly walked out of the side hall gracefully with lotus steps.

In the side hall, the strong smell of food instantly spread throughout the palace. On the main hall, flowers, fruits and vegetables are placed on the low tables, and several court ladies are shuttled to each other on the main hall. People are overwhelmed and dazzled.

Qi Rui ran in with a small body in a hurry, panting a bit, his pink and tender face made everyone who saw it extremely affectionate, his eyes were curved into crescent shapes, and two dimples appeared on his cheeks.

Seeing Xia Yunxi coming out, he immediately walked to her side, took her hand, and called out sweetly: "Mother Concubine, Ruier smelled the aroma of this food from a long distance, so she ran over immediately, she is so hungry .”

Xia Yunxi looked at Qi Rui affectionately, and couldn't help stretching out her white hands to touch Qi Rui's tender face. She remembered that when she first saw this little guy, she was only a little bit small, but now she has grown so big. She will still be sweetly called Concubine Mu, but it's a pity...

Xia Yunxi left Qi Rui's tender little face in an instant, and didn't ask him about going to the cold palace. After all, this is a child, and he might not understand anything. Qianqianyu patted Qi Rui's small body lightly, With a smile on his face, he took Qi Rui's little hand, walked up to a short couple, and motioned for Qi Rui to sit down obediently.

Qi Rui looked at the delicacies on the table, these were his favorite foods since he was a child, his small handsome face was salivating as always, and Xia Yunxi's soft and beautiful face smiled faintly, Gracefully picked up the white jade chopsticks, picked up the food carefully, and then sent it directly to Qi Rui's small mouth.

Qi Rui raised his head calmly and looked at the concubine beside him. She was looking at her with smiling eyes, as if expecting him to eat quickly. With a bright smile, she opened her small mouth obediently, with relish eat the food.

Seeing Qi Rui's cute look, Xia Yunxi couldn't help being taken aback, a moment of hesitation flashed in her black pupils, the chopsticks in her hand also stopped and did not move for a long time, an inexplicable emotion flashed across Qi Rui's small face, The big eyes were no longer the innocence of before, but they disappeared quickly, and the sweet voice sounded again: "Mother Concubine."

Yun Xi smiled lightly and mocked to herself, what is she doing?It's too late now, isn't it?Thinking of this, he picked up the chopsticks in his hand again, picked up another dish and continued to feed it to Qi Rui firmly.

Seeing this scene, Mother Xue was still happy for her mother, even if Prince Qi Rui knew that he had a biological mother, what would happen, who is good to him and who is not good to him, doesn't he know?What's more, the biological mother is not as old as the adoptive mother.Thinking of this, after glancing at this warm picture, a smile could not help but hang on the old face.

At this time, Qi Rui was already full, and he stroked his belly contentedly.Lifting her pink face, she said very cutely, "Concubine Mu, Rui'er is already full, you can see that her stomach is bulging like a ball."

When Yun Xi heard this, she burst into a smile, and then carefully took out a silk scarf to help him wipe away the food scum next to his small mouth. A trace of ruthlessness flashed in his black eyes, as long as he is full, this is also the last meal , After tonight, you may not have the chance to eat these things again, Ruier, I hope you don't blame me, if you want to blame, you can only blame you for casting the wrong tire.

"Mother Concubine, what's the matter with you?" Xiao Qi Rui looked at Concubine Mother a little dazed, and quickly grabbed the corner of her clothes with her small hands and asked cautiously,
Yun Xi came back to her senses at this time, saw the worry in Qi Rui's round eyes, raised her hand and waved it, Mammy Xue immediately understood the meaning, brought up the pen and paper, put them on the table, Xia Yun Xi nodded, picked up the pen in an elegant manner, and wrote a line of understatement on the paper: "Can Rui'er accompany mother and concubine to a place?"

Little Qi Rui has already learned to read and understand the meaning when he looks at this line of characters. His round eyes are full of innocence, and the corners of his lips are pursed into a smile. , Ruier is willing to accompany mother and concubine."

As soon as these words fell, Xia Yunxi immediately hugged Qi Rui's small body tightly into her arms. Why is her heart aching?Why is there some reluctance in her heart?People are more ruthless than grass and trees. In the past five years, from such a small body to now, he has grown up, gradually becoming more and more like his father. In fact, all these years, in such a harem, she She is always herself, Zi Yechen no longer looks at herself, no longer loves herself, no one knows the loneliness in her heart, Qi Rui can be regarded as being with her, comforting her a lot of loss...

What is she thinking!Xia Yunxi scolded herself fiercely, as if warning herself, who caused the pain for so many years, and this child is indeed the child of two people who betrayed her, she would actually soften her heart!impossible!
After struggling for a long time, he slowly let go, touched Qi Rui's little head, then took Qi Rui's little hand, and slowly stepped out of Jinxiu Palace.

Night, moonless, the cold palace in the most remote part of the West Palace was dead silent, making people feel desolate. The empty hall was desolate and dark. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and the white gauze fluttered. There are a few ferocious monsters, and the bloody mouth seems to choose people to devour.In the corner there are a few pots of flowers and plants that look dying, the calligraphy and paintings on the wall have already turned yellow, and the red sandalwood shelf is also empty, very lonely.

Xia Yunxi dragged Zi Qirui away from this desolate cold palace, her little head couldn't help raising her head, and asked Yun Xi with a look of fear: "Mother Concubine, why did you bring Rui'er here, this place is so scary ..."

Xia Yunxi didn't stop because of his words, she pulled Qi Rui straight and walked in, gusts of cold wind blew by, no expression could be seen on her clear face, only a pair of black eyes flashed coldly , turned his gaze to the people in the room.

The person sitting in the room was Xia Yunshang, sitting in front of the bronze mirror with a stupid look, staring blankly at herself in the mirror, without any expression, sluggishly, holding her arms in her arms She kept murmuring in her mouth, as if she was humming a nursery rhyme, as if she was completely immersed in her own world. Through the mirror, her dull eyes suddenly saw the figure walking in, and her whole body suddenly Stunned, he suddenly stood up from the chair, and the pillow in his hand fell from his hand in an instant, and he laughed foolishly, sitting on the ground, hugging the pillow nervously, as if he was coaxing a child: " Hush, don't cry..."
