Chapter 19 Warmth
The dew was thick and the frost was heavy, and the ancestral hall at night was cold and windy. Shu Yao hugged her knees and curled up on the futon. In front of her was the icy memorial tablet of Princess Yongning.

so cold.

She quietly stared at the tablet of the eldest princess, her clear almond eyes were a little out of focus.Her stomach was so hungry that it was a little numb. Compared with hunger and cold, Shu Yao's heart was more of an unsavory feeling.

Ever since she became conscious, she had never seen her mother.When I was young, I was ignorant, and would cry and ask my uncle why everyone else had parents, but she was the only one brought up by my uncle?Uncle could only smile bitterly and coax her with other things.

She promised her uncle to live in Qinyanghou's mansion earlier, but she still had a faint expectation in her heart.Doesn't she want to be like a normal child, loved by her parents and surrounded by siblings?But she is destined to not be able to pin her hopes on Qin Yanghou, he will only quench her desire for her father again and again.

"Mother," Shu Yao whispered, "I'm so cold."

Only the echo of the wall responded to her, as well as the faint sound of wind outside the window.

The ancestral hall has been in disrepair for a long time, and no one will come to it at ordinary times, and there is a decayed atmosphere everywhere.Shu Yao didn't even want to pass by this kind of place, but when she came in today, she didn't say a word.

Perhaps it was because she was completely disappointed in Qin Yanghou, so she couldn't even get angry.

Shu Yao was already very sleepy, with her chin resting on her knees, curled up in an insecure posture.When she was half asleep and half awake, she seemed to hear the sound of locking, and someone pushed open the door and walked to her side.

Ok?who?

Shu Yao felt that she was really sleepy, and she actually felt that this figure looked a bit like the apprentice who forced her in the dream... She rubbed her eyes, and heard a familiar clear voice: "Princess?"

It was actually Li Mingji.

The girl was stunned, and stared at him blankly with a pair of almond eyes, as if thinking about why he appeared here, like a frightened rabbit.Li Mingji patiently waited for her to wake up, put the food box beside her, took off his coat and put it on her body, and said in a soft voice, "Princess, I have offended you."

There is a familiar smell all over his body, like the fresh scent of grass and trees in the air after it rains.Shu Yao wrapped her outer shirt tightly, suddenly her nose sore, and she crashed into Li Mingji's arms, with a hoarse voice:

"Li Mingji...why is it you..."

Li Mingji's body froze as Wen Xiang nephrite hugged her arms, and her breath became uncontrollably low.The girl in his arms was ignorant, and the teardrops fell down like broken threads, and wept his clothes in the blink of an eye.

She didn't say a word, swallowed her voice, just whimpered like a small animal.In the past, Li Mingji liked to bully her to the point of crying, and enjoyed the feeling of kissing her tears away, but now the little princess was sobbing in his arms trustingly, and he was at a loss instead.

A strange warm current passed through his heart, he raised his slender fingers, and gently brushed away the hair on Shu Yao's forehead, "Princess, don't worry, everything will be fine soon."

The emperor's car should have arrived in the capital, and tomorrow at the latest, he will be able to take Shu Yao out of the Marquis of Qinyang's mansion.

As for Li Mingxuan...

Li Mingji's eyes were dark, and a killing intent flashed across his eyes.

Shu Yao cried even harder.

She has grown up so big, why has she ever been wronged like this?It's really ridiculous to say that she is the most honorable princess in the capital, and she was imprisoned in the ancestral hall by her father, and the only one who can accompany her is this jade-faced scholar who she rescued casually.

She was twitching, her eyes were red and swollen, she was out of breath from crying, and she still glared at him fiercely: "What you saw today, tonight, don't tell it!"

The majestic princess, crying unreasonably in front of a half-baked man, what does it look like?
Li Mingji couldn't help laughing, with a hint of doting in his eyes, and a gentle smile: "Mingji knows."

Shu Yao cried for a while, and gradually calmed down.Only then did he realize that he was tugging at his belt, and was wiping tears all over his skirt.

Fortunately, the young man in front of him was a gentleman enough, even if she rushed in, he gave her enough face and didn't push her away directly.

The little princess blushed unapologetically, intentionally ignoring what she had done, let go of his embrace, and changed the subject with erratic eyes: "How did you come in?"

Li Mingji still had the calm and calm appearance: "Your maid helped. They said you hadn't eaten yet, so I brought them in."

Shu Yao was very playful when she was a child, and she often brought pine needles and spring cores to do bad things. It was probably Chun Rui's idea to find a way to let Li Mingji in.

She opened the food box, saw the dishes she liked, finally smiled, picked a few mouthfuls with the silver chopsticks, and then said brokenly: "You tell Songzhen Chunrui to send a letter to uncle, saying that he will never come back , his most beloved niece will starve to death here."

Shu Yao is delicate and picky in front of acquaintances, and she will unconsciously reveal a little naivety and naivety, which is a sign of her trust in others. Li Mingji smiled and said yes, without pointing it out.

"As for what happened today..."

Shu Yao narrowed her eyes slightly, bit her lips, and said in a slightly cold tone, "I will tell uncle personally."

She still has something to ask her uncle.

Li Mingji still said hello.

Shu Yao was seven or eight percent full after eating, and subconsciously rubbed her belly. Seeing that Li Mingji was not looking at her, she confidently took out her handkerchief and wiped her face gracefully.The experience of crying in front of people after a disagreement was too embarrassing, and she really didn't want to recall it a second time.

You obviously endured it well, why did you cry so well?Could it be because Li Mingji is an outsider, she is much more relaxed in front of him...

However, Shu Yao had never met someone like Li Mingji.

He seems to have no temper, no matter how others bully him, he always looks calm.Shu Yao thought he was laughing at first——later she found that he just pursed his thin lips lightly, with a blank expression on his face, as if everything in the world didn't interest him.

"Li Mingji," Shu Yao suddenly said, "Do you have a good relationship with your father?"

Li Mingji calmly said: "General."

His biological father had died a long time ago. As for this "father" Li Shilang...he is a qualified courtier, but he doesn't know how to be a qualified father.

Shu Yao said dryly "Oh".

Thinking about it, Li Mingji is a concubine, and his elder brother is arrogant and domineering. If his father hadn't just stood by and ignored him, how could he have been bullied like this?Not all families are like Qin Yanghou's mansion, where their own daughters are left alone, and concubines are spoiled and wives destroyed.

"I was taken back to Li's residence by my father eight years ago, and my father is willing to keep me by his side, which is lenient to me," Li Mingji said with a faint smile, looking at Shu Yao with deep black eyes, "If it wasn't for my father to take me Back, I should be displaced like those people in the flood."

Eight years ago...

Shu Yao was still young, and she only remembered the floods in the south, and she had a serious illness, with a persistent high fever, and she didn't recover for several months.
