He looked up at the snowflakes that were still falling, and refused the reins handed over by the guard. He stepped on the snow, listening to the slight crunching sound, and walked slowly towards his mansion.
Behind him, in the eldest prince's palace.
The eldest prince had already left the study in a wheelchair.
The eldest prince stayed in the corridor, quietly looking at the snowflakes dancing in the wind, his usually determined eyes a little absent-minded.
He was sorry for more than just his youngest son.
Chapter 259: Meng Yue and the Seventh Prince take a step further. The whole story is about two people and can be skipped.
The seventh prince walked very slowly.
Because his eldest brother's mansion was very close to his own, if he walked quickly, he would be able to return home in a short time.
But he doesn't want to go back.
As his elder brother said just now, there are no major cases in the Criminal Department, and there is no one in his back house. It is getting late now, and it is not suitable to enter the palace.
He was the only master of that empty mansion.
What’s the point of going back?
He lowered his head, clutched the cloak tightly with both hands, and kicked the snow under his feet from time to time. The whole person was as empty and lonely as his mansion.
Passing by the door of Li's house, he heard loud laughter coming from behind the closed door, and he couldn't help but pause.
"Uncle Changfeng! You threw it so accurately, it just hit my thigh."
"Hey, of course, I've been shooting with perfect accuracy lately!"
Li Changfeng's laughter was filled with pride.
Li Yunfan was not to be outdone: "I'm always hitting the mark, Ruirui, look at my snowball!"
Just hearing a squeal, Li Xiaorui was hit.
He screamed a few times, shouting words such as "Look at my snowball attack" and "Oh, why did you hide so fast?"
Listening to these crisp and energetic children's voices, he couldn't help but smile.
Although he couldn't see these three little guys, he knew the smiles on their faces at this time.
Li Qiao's family raised their little cub very well.
If it were him...
The smile on his face slowly disappeared and he lowered his head again.
If he was just a boy from the countryside, then he would be as lucky as Tao Zhu. He would also meet a man who did not dislike his appearance and was gentle and considerate to him.
But he is not Tao Zhu.
He carries the Zhou family's great kindness to the Shen family.
Biting his lip gently, he wrapped the cloak tighter around his body and continued walking towards his mansion.
But the steps were slower than before.
If he and Meng Yue wanted to have a happy ending, the only way was for his eldest brother to ascend the throne, restore his true gender, and then marry Meng Yue.
But his eldest brother's accession to the throne is far away.
And Meng Yue...
Meng Yue has been chasing him for six full years. Does Meng Yue still have patience?
Meng Yue is only a few months younger than Li Qiao, and is already thirty years old. Li Qiao's twins are lively, cute, smart and strong. When Meng Yue looks at Xiao Changfeng and Xiao Yunfan, will she want to have children?
The Meng family is pressing hard, not only looking at the house, but also looking at the girl and the little brother. Can Meng Yue withstand this kind of urging?
…
Question after question was lingering in his mind, but he didn't know the answer.
Because of this, he asked Meng Yue to leave the capital.
On the one hand, it is really for the benefit of the Meng family.
After Meng Yue is promoted, his salary will be much higher. The Meng family are very simple and hard-working. It is difficult for such a family to provide a Jinshi. He cannot let such a family suffer because of himself.
On the other hand, he wanted Meng Yue to calm down.
Meng Yue came to Shengjing from a small mountain village and was forced to have sex with him as soon as she entered the capital. Since then, she has spent her thoughts on him. This is unfair to Meng Yue.
Very unfair.
Meng Yue should go out and take a look at the world outside. Meng Yue should know that there are not only all kinds of beautiful women in this world, but also many outstanding boys.
Like Jiangnan, the water town of Jiangnan is famous for its many beauties. Meng Yue's feelings for him might fade away the more people she meets.
He wouldn't blame Meng Yue. It was Meng Yue who saved him in that incident. If it weren't for Meng Yue, he really didn't know how to undo the medicine on his body.
Over the years, he has always spoken coldly to Meng Yue. If Meng Yue fell in love with any girl or boy outside, he would give her blessing.
Imagine Meng Yue getting married and having children, he bit his lips tighter to avoid crying.
But he couldn't push back the moisture in his eyes.
If his father had not concealed his true gender back then, then even though he looked like a man, he would have been able to get married and have children like a normal little brother and live an ordinary life.
After his father gave birth to him, he had no mole between his eyebrows and everyone thought he was a boy.
But half a month later, a faint red mole appeared between his eyebrows.
The small mole is very light and cannot be found unless you look carefully.
His father thought about it again and again, and finally took medicine to remove the faint little mole, because if he were a younger brother, he would have to be trapped in the harem to learn chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework, housekeeping and other skills.
That does not work.
The Shen family sent his father into the palace to repay his kindness.
If he is trapped in the harem, how can he help his elder brother? How to find out the truth behind Queen Zhou’s death from poisoning?
So he still became the seventh prince who was qualified to win the throne.
This is the path that was destined for him from birth.
Even if something unexpected happens in the middle, we still have to keep walking on this path without telling the world.
Although he was a tool man, before meeting Meng Yue, he was very satisfied with this path.
There is no need to be trapped in the harem, he can roam the great rivers and mountains freely, and he can also uphold justice for the wronged and punish the wicked with his own hands.
What a wonderful life!
But after meeting Meng Yue...
Damn Meng Yue, it messed with his belief. Before this big fool appeared, he was very satisfied with the man's identity!
But God sent this big fool to him. Not only did he have a physical relationship with him, but he also pursued him closely and used all kinds of tricks on little girls and petite brothers to make him proud. The ruler man is willing to be trapped in love and love.
hateful!
If this idiot were in front of him, he would definitely punch him a few times!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and walked angrily towards his mansion with his head down.
Suddenly, the same crunching sound of snow came from ahead, and he quickly raised his head to get the water vapor in his eyes back.
But no one could see the dignified seventh prince secretly shedding tears, otherwise his reputation would be ruined.
But at this moment, a familiar voice sounded: "You're back. Is it cold? You haven't had dinner yet? Go home quickly."
Um?
His movement of raising his head suddenly froze.
After a few seconds, he slowly lowered his head and looked forward in a daze.
Three or four meters away from him, a tall and burly figure stood. Although the night was thin, it was still a little far away, and he could not see the expression on this man's face.
But the outline of the facial features is indeed that of the idiot he scolded just now...
"Why, why did you come back today?"
he asked blankly.
It had been snowing almost every day in the past few days, the weather was cold, and the roads were slippery and inconvenient to walk on, so he thought that Meng Yue would not be able to return to Beijing until New Year's Eve or even on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
But I didn’t expect Meng Yue to come back today!
"I originally planned to come back today. Although there is a lot of snow, I can still make the journey."
Meng Yue walked towards the Seventh Prince. He stared at the person in front of him without blinking. His hands hanging by his side shook several times before he resisted the urge to rush over and hold the person in his arms. .
It's been seven months since he left!
He missed the person in front of him so much.
"you……"
The seventh prince didn't know how to reply for a moment, so he could only let Meng Yue walk up to him.
Although the light was not clear, he could feel how hot Meng Yue's eyes were, like a ball of fire that wanted to light his whole body on fire.
He immediately lowered his eyes.
I want to cry and I want to laugh.
Meng Yue's thoughts were still on him. This fool was not seduced by the beauties in the Jiangnan water town.
But he can't see the end...
His father is in good health. Of course, he hopes that his father can live a long life.
But will he and Meng Yue have to endure it for another twenty years?
Tears spewed out of his eyes, and he immediately walked around Meng Yue and stepped forward: "You haven't gone home yet, have you? You go home first, your family will definitely miss you. Besides, it's been a tiring journey, so go back and have a good rest. rest."
"I'll have dinner with you before going back."
