"Master Xiao."
When Mr. An came, Xiao He still looked very unhappy. He always felt sour these days and would secretly shed tears at night.
"Master Xiao, what's going on? Has something happened?"
Mr. An asked softly, but it was obvious that he was asking questions knowingly, because Mr. Yun was really very favored these days, so favored that even the husband-in-law avoided his sharpness.
"It's not a big deal. If I say it out loud, it would seem like I'm being a bit pretentious. I have to bear these things, so what's the big deal?"
Xiao He smiled self-deprecatingly. This feeling was really indescribable. When he thought it was not important, he would secretly cry every night.
I think it is very important, but I can't do anything. I can only accept the joy, anger, sorrow and joy brought by others in this way.
"Well, let's not talk about it anymore. I wonder if you have prepared some weird gifts that can make His Majesty happy?"
Mr. An asked curiously. From his perspective, Xiao He lowered his head a little aggrievedly, his long eyelashes blinking, and there were some tears in his beautiful eyes, which looked real. It’s quite lovable!
No wonder after learning the rules, His Majesty immediately left the person behind.
"I didn't prepare anything. I just carved a sapphire bracelet with my own hands."
Xiao He opened the small wooden box on the table as he spoke. Inside the box was the bracelet he had been holding in his hands for the past few days.
There is nothing new about the bracelet, but the meaning behind it is different. No one in this world knows it but he alone knows it.
"Did you carve it yourself?"
Mr. An was a little surprised and couldn't help but ask one more question.
Young men like them are delicate and expensive, and they can't do any heavy work. Carving bracelets is such a complicated project, and if you are not careful, your white and tender fingers will get some scars.
"Yes, even though I have a lot of wounds on my hands, which are stinging and hurting so much that I can't sleep, but as long as I see the bracelet I made, I will feel that it is all worth it."
Xiao He put the bracelet in his hand as he spoke. There were still many small scars on his fingers, which have not healed yet.
In fact, these are not important. Looking at this similar bracelet, I always think of the past time, when he was the only one in this world who kept his secrets, which no one knew or understood.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Mr. An lowered his eyes and said nothing more.
It seems that this young master has indeed grown a lot.
When it came time for the banquet that day, Mr. Wang and his young masters waited for a long time before Xie Minghui and Mr. Yun arrived belatedly.
The moment he saw Xie Minghui appear, Xiao He's eyes finally lit up. But when he saw Young Master Yun following him, his eyes lit up and dimmed again.
This scene really feels so familiar.
Just like when he brought Qiong Hua Shanshan here, was Xie Minghui at that time also in the same sour and aggrieved mood now?
It turns out that everything is traceable, and everything is a cycle.
Mr. An, who was sitting next to him, looked at him again, but his eyes were a little complicated.
Mr. Wang still showed a decent smile and stood up to greet Xie Minghui in person. In fact, it didn't matter. He was the only one who could reach the highest level with His Majesty.
No matter what happens to Mr. Yun, doesn't he still have to sit down there honestly? This is no big deal?
"I didn't expect it to take so long to handle the affairs just now. My husband did a great job at today's banquet. You have lived up to my trust in you every time, and you have done a great job!"
Xie Minghui praised Mr. Wang without hesitation. He has always been his most effective helper and can always handle the affairs of the harem well. He is really good!
"It's all worth it to be praised by His Majesty!"
On such an occasion, Mr. Wang couldn't say much, so he could only explain it in a concise sentence, but only he knew how passionately his heart was beating.
Even if there are so many men in the harem, so what?
I am the only man who can stand beside His Majesty. I am the man who can be beside His Majesty at this moment. I am a unique existence among so many men. I am the most special position. Then this is my victory.
Although sometimes I will be jealous and feel sour in my heart, but every time I come to such an occasion, I will feel lucky and feel that I have won His Majesty's favor, because no man can be by His Majesty's side except him.
After sitting down, Xie Minghui's eyes glanced over Xiao He intentionally or unintentionally. Every time she saw his face, a very special feeling always filled her heart.
The feeling was indescribable, a little resentful, and a little painful. It was really complicated and complex.
Xiao He was dressed very exquisitely today. He sat upright and raised his head high, accepting Xiao Ming's gaze generously. Unfortunately, his gaze only stayed on him for a second, and then he looked away slightly. It's over.
But she still wasn't discouraged. Today's bracelets are all ready, it just depends on whether she likes them or not, because in the original world, the meaning of this bracelet is really different.
Mr. Yun said that he had prepared a dance by himself. He danced enchantingly in the center of the hall. It seemed that he had been preparing for this dance for a long time.
Xie Minghui was very satisfied with Mr. Yun. He has always been so pleasing to people, which is indeed good!
Xiao He kept his head down, not wanting to look, let alone seeing Xiao Ming's praising look on his face. He really felt heartbroken.
How could this feeling be so torturous? It felt like there were many little needles pricking my heart. It hurt again and again. It hurt endlessly and never ended.
It seems that this is what I feel the most when I come to this world. I feel pain in my heart, but I have to pretend to be indifferent on the face. If I show it, I am afraid it will make her disgusted.
This feeling hurts, really hurts.
"What's wrong, young master?"
Mr. An turned slightly and asked in a low voice, but his expression did not show much concern.
"Nothing," Mr. Xiao shook his head.
"Just seeing Young Master Yun dancing gracefully, I feel a little ashamed of myself. No wonder His Majesty likes him so much. He has only allowed him to stay by your side these past few days. You must really like him, right?"
Xiao He forced out a smile as he spoke. In fact, it would be good for him to feel this feeling. This is the retribution of the cycle of cause and effect.
"Young Master Xiao, there is no need to belittle yourself. I think his face is not as good-looking as yours. Have you forgotten? His Majesty liked this face at the beginning, so he selected you in the draft.
Now that you have entered the harem, you must make full use of your own advantages. How could you be defeated so easily by others? "
Mr. An comforted him in a low voice. After he finished speaking, he looked at Mr. Yun who was dancing in the center of the hall intoxicatedly, with a hint of jealousy in his eyes.
Mr. Yun is indeed very lucky. His face is also very good-looking, his figure is slender and graceful, and he is so attractive when he dances.
What's more, I have a sister who is deeply trusted and loved by His Majesty. I can really keep my prosperity and wealth in this life!
Not to mention that His Majesty has been so fond of him these days and has only allowed him to be by his side, and has not even seen Mr. Wang for a few times. This Young Master Yun’s life is really good!
"What?"
Hearing this, Xiao He's eyes lit up slightly, as if he had confidence and hope again.
Even he himself didn't realize what his current state was like. He was like a young master who was really raised in a boudoir, deceiving himself again and again, igniting hope again and again, and then being disappointed again and again, and the cycle continued.
But I still remember what he looked like at the beginning, so condescending and dismissive of others. I didn't expect that changing the world and changing the identity, even a person's thoughts can really change completely.
"That's natural," Mr. An said firmly.
"Haven't you discovered what's special about you in His Majesty's heart? If an ordinary young master makes His Highness angry, it will be equivalent to being in the cold palace for the rest of his life. Don't even think about seeing His Highness again!
But you are different. Even if you make His Majesty angry, will you still be favored by His Majesty once you learn the rules? It means that His Majesty doesn’t really dislike you, he just has higher requirements for you and wants you to learn better! "
Mr. An also felt a little sour as he spoke. Mr. Yun was indeed lucky, but wasn't Xiao He next to him even better?
Other young masters made His Majesty angry, but there was no other chance, but this Xiao He had a second and third chance.
His Majesty doesn't seem to like him, but it seems that he is always watching silently in the dark. It is clear that he wants to give him a chance to make up for his mistakes.
This doesn't seem fair at all!
"What you said seems to make sense!"
Xiao He was really moved by what he said. In fact, this was a little comfort that he wanted to give himself deep down. Otherwise, he really didn't know how to survive in this world.
I can only rely on these deceptive statements over and over again to numb myself and get used to them. I can detect a little bit of useful information from these clues and feel that I should have a little sense of existence, right?
It's like the more you experience this kind of neglect, the more guilty you feel, and then you don't even have the courage to resent it, and you feel that this is what you should bear.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Mr. An stopped talking and just watched Mr. Yun's dance intently.
The dance is indeed very good, enchanting and graceful, but her temperament is really disgusting.
She is cute and cute in front of His Highness, but in private she is so condescending in front of them. Sometimes the words she speaks are really more piercing than a knife!
