Just as Leng Xi was thinking about this, Leng Yu and Luo Lan walked in. He felt someone walking in. He quickly turned around. When he saw the person clearly, he bowed and saluted with fists in his hands.
"Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law..."
Lengxi hasn't used this title for several years.
Regarding his sudden courtesy, both Leng Yu and Luo Lan were a little confused, but Leng Yu still nodded calmly. As he sat down at the front, he asked in a cold voice:
"Prince Xi is here. What's the point of your visit?"
Leng Xi hurriedly said to Xiaobao beside him:
"Xiaobao, please pay your respects to the Fourth Emperor Uncle quickly."
Since he had already been trained at home, Xiaobao naturally did not dare to neglect him. He knelt down on his knees, clasped his fists in his hands, and said solemnly:
"Uncle Four Emperors, Xiaobao was not sensible in the past and often quarreled with his brothers and sisters. This time Xiaobao has come to admit his mistake. Please ask Uncle Four Emperors and Aunt Four Emperors to say a few good words for Xiaobao so that his brothers and sisters will not be the same as Xiaobao. Well, speaking of it, we are all a family. From now on, Xiaobao will definitely treat his brother and sister as one family..."
The words that came out of Xiaobao's mouth once again shocked Leng Yu and Luo Lan.
What happened? Xiaobao, who had always been domineering in the past, actually came to the door to admit his mistake?
Just when Leng Yu and Luo Lan didn't know how to respond, Leng Xi bowed again and said:
"Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law, this time I brought Xiaobao and Qiaoqiao to Prince Yu's Mansion, just to apologize to fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law. In the past few years, I have done too many things that are sorry for you two. I beg you two, I will not take into account the faults of the lesser ones, and forgive the disrespectful manners of the fifth brother in the past. The fifth brother is here to kowtow to you two and admit your mistakes."
Before he finished speaking, he lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt on the ground, followed by Yu Qiaoqiao.
This scene made Leng Yu and Luo Lan even more at a loss.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Leng Xi continued to clasp his fists and said:
"Fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law may doubt the purpose of my coming today. I don't blame you for doubting it. I doubt it myself. But after experiencing this incident, I have figured out many things. What I did in the palace this time It was a bit reckless, but my fourth brother did not accuse me in front of my father. This made me deeply feel the importance of brotherhood. After I returned to Prince Xi's Mansion, I suddenly thought of the time we played together when we were children. At that time, the fourth brother liked to protect me. I wanted to do dangerous things, and the fourth brother was the first to stop me..."
At this point, Leng Xi's eyes suddenly turned red, and although Leng Yu's face was calm, his heart was already turbulent.
"Fourth brother, do you still remember? I was four years old and you were eight. At my father's birthday party, two foreign children bullied me. You got so angry that you beat them all over the floor. Ya, for this reason, my father also punished you to kneel at the gate of Qianqing Palace for a day and a night. At that time, I was thinking that the best person in the world to me is my fourth brother, and my fourth brother suffered for me, but I What did you do when you grew up? I really feel that I am useless..."
At this point, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself hard on the face.
Perhaps Leng Yu recalled his childhood under Leng Xi's memories, and his eyes suddenly began to turn red.
He pursed his lips, raised his hands and said:
"Stop kneeling, we are all brothers."
brother?
Hearing these two words, Leng Xi looked at him with joy,
"Fourth brother, you said we are brothers? In this case, you don't blame Xi'er? Do you still recognize Xi'er as your younger brother?"
"It's so shameless. You have done a lot of evil things and now you are punished by your father. You have no place to eat, so you come here to beg for mercy?"
Before Leng Yu could say anything, a mocking voice came from the door. Everyone looked for the voice and saw Leng Ming standing there with an angry face, staring at Leng Xi who had just stood up from the ground. He continued:
"Leng Xi, you have done evil things time and time again. It is said among the people that you are the leader of the evildoers in the capital. But now you are here pretending to be a good person. It shows that you must have some shady purpose. I advise you, Don't cause trouble on the pure land of Prince Yu's Mansion, otherwise, I, Leng Ming, will be the first to not tolerate you."
Leng Ming rolled up his sleeves as he spoke, looking aggressive and fighting against injustice.
Leng Xi did not get angry because of Leng Ming's cynicism. Instead, he looked at Leng Ming with a calm face and replied calmly:
"Sixth brother, we used to have the best relationship. I don't know when, but we seem to have become strangers. I hope that we can be the same as before in the future..."
"impossible……"
Leng Ming didn't have the patience to listen to Leng Xi and interrupted him directly. At the same time, he quickly came to a tea table, picked up a teacup from it, dropped his hand, and with a bang , the tea cup was smashed to pieces.
Just when everyone looked at him in astonishment, he raised his eyebrows and snorted:
"Tell me, this teacup fell to the ground and was shattered into pieces. Can it still be put back together? It's simply impossible!"
His words made Leng Xi's forehead instantly twist into a knot. He looked at Leng Ming, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled awkwardly:
"Sixth brother, if this water glass can be broken so easily, it only means that the water glass is too fragile and vulnerable. The friendship between our brothers has been cultivated since childhood. It is comparable to that iron wall. Putting aside the late Not to mention Leng Yun, the three of us brothers have never had any unpleasant experiences since we were young. We have always supported each other and come through..."
"stop!"
Leng Ming raised his hand decisively to stop him from continuing, "Stop talking. Even if you mention smallpox today, fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law will not forgive you. Stop pretending here and take you with us." People from Prince Xi’s Mansion, leave here.”
His direct and offensive words made Leng Xi's face suddenly darken, but thinking of what his mother and concubine had said to him, he still endured it.
He stood there with his mouth pursed, looking at Leng Yu helplessly,
"Fourth brother, sixth brother is young. I won't argue with him about what he said. I know that I have done many wrong things over the years. He scolded me and hated me. I understand, but today I really You are here to seek peace. I sincerely hope that our brothers can return to the way we were before. Now you are the regent of Daning Kingdom, and the position of future emperor will also be yours. I admit, I have imagined the day when I will sit on the throne. , but starting from yesterday, I woke up from this dream, and I also know that I should not have any illusions anymore, and I hope that the fourth brother, for the sake of us being brothers, will not be acquainted with me anymore..."
What he said was sincere, Leng Yu's brows were furrowed, and Luo Lan looked at him with a pair of bright eyes, trying to find something on his face.
However, although the words Leng Xi spoke were sincere, they could not outweigh the many evil things he had done. Who can guarantee that he was not a weasel paying New Year greetings to a rooster?
"Mom, we are here."
