Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Chapter 199 Memories

Ji Qichen was silent for a moment, then warned, "So don't go to my second brother's restaurant, be careful they might blackmail you!"

Mu Tangxi is always amused by Ji Qichen's words. Does he think she has never blackmailed anyone?

Oh no, it should be her subordinates who were blackmailing people, but they only blackmailed two people.

Mu Lianxue and Master Pan.

"it is good."

Ji Qichen hadn't talked to anyone for so long in a long time, so he became more and more excited, as if he wanted to tell Tangxi all the interesting stories from his past.

There were also some bad things that happened to him mixed in, and although they were glossed over, he did say them out loud.

Maybe he subconsciously had a little hope in his heart, wanting Tangxi to pity him and... love him.

"My eldest brother has been like that since he was a child. Of course, I'm not talking about the way he acts now, but the way he wants others to die if they don't obey him."

Mu Tangxi began to take note of it in his mind, perhaps it had something to do with the prince.

"My eldest brother was very arrogant when he was young. He would take action if he didn't like someone. He only pretended to be good in front of our father. So one time I accidentally appeared in front of him, and I had to go back lying down."

Ji Qichen lightly skimmed over the details and even teased himself at the end.

"Oh, there was another time when I went to the Shangshufang to study. He asked me and my brothers to play games with him, and then he went back to bed."

"But eldest brother's lessons have always been taught by our father himself, so they are always better than ours."

Ji Qichen paused suddenly, "In fact, he was not always better than us. There were a few times when my second brother and I did better than him in our studies. My second brother had the protection of my mother, Concubine De, who was very favored by me, so my eldest brother stopped sending me food."

"After all, my eldest brother was born to the Queen. The Queen is in charge of the palace's internal affairs. As long as she says a word, no one dares to disobey." Ji Qichen said calmly.

"As for my second brother, you can't touch what he thinks is his. When my fourth brother was a child, he touched his cat. After he left, my second brother threw the cat into the lake and told my father that it was my fourth brother who did it."

"At the time, I thought I would be fine as long as I avoided my second brother. But when I was in the study room, I was tripped by my eldest brother's study partner and accidentally knocked my second brother's book off. Then..."

Ji Qichen told the story slowly, hoping that Tangxi could understand more about his eldest and second brothers.

If he died first one day, Tangxi would at least be able to figure out what his elder and second brothers were thinking.

Of course, Ji Qichen hopes that Tangxi can get to know more about him from this.

He blinked and smiled at Tangxi again, "But that's all in the past. Big brother and second brother won't kill me. They're just playing with me."

It seemed to be comforting Tangxi, and also seemed to be comforting himself.

Mu Tangxi looked at Ji Qichen in silence, and suddenly said, "Don't you hate them?"

Why can he still be so calm?

Ji Qichen glanced at Tang Xi doubtfully, and said firmly, "Of course I hate them."

"I hated it so much that one time, my eldest and second brothers were feeding fish and chatting in front of me, and I almost pushed them over."

"But I know that even if I push them down, they won't die. The eunuchs next to them are watching me warily."

Ji Qichen said calmly, but his eyes were fixed on Tangxi, trying to find out whether Tangxi would reject his true self.

He is only revealing a small part of it now. If Tangxi cannot accept it, he will never reveal these things in front of Tangxi in the future.

Mu Tangxi finally saw the shadow of a prince in Ji Qichen. There could be no prince in this world who was truly full of kindness. Such a person would have died in childhood.

As a prince, he will be plotted against before he is born, and after he is born, he will be used as a chess piece.

In order to survive, one can only fight desperately, instead of pinning the hope of survival and one's life on the magnanimity of the future monarch.

If you entrust your life to others, doesn't that mean you can't decide whether to live or die?

A sincere smile appeared on Mu Tangxi's face. Ji Qichen's actions finally made her feel that they were of some use.

"Yes, you didn't have the power and confidence to protect yourself when you were a child, so you had to endure it, otherwise you wouldn't live to grow up."

Ji Qichen breathed a sigh of relief and continued with confidence, "In fact, I have fought back before. When I was playing with my fourth brother, I deliberately guided his thinking and made him believe that it was my second brother who did it."

"Then, the fourth brother secretly broke the tea set that the emperor gave to the second brother, and made the emperor mistakenly believe that the second brother broke it himself. He severely punished the second brother by making him pay three months of monthly allowance, copy the palace rules ten times, and confine him to his house for one month."

The smile on Ji Qichen's face deepened. This punishment was very severe for his second brother, as he had never been slandered like this before.

That month's confinement caused my second brother to fall behind in his studies.

This was also the first time he received praise from his teacher, and then he was caught by his eldest brother to play with him.

Ji Qichen placed his hands obediently on his knees, looking very serious and well-behaved.

Mu Tangxi was much lazier. Since they would be together for a long time in the future, she would just put herself in front of him in the most comfortable posture.

What if he doesn’t like it or doesn’t like it?

That's his own business.

But the comfortable posture that Mu Tangxi mentioned was just holding a teacup and leaning against the window.

The back is always straight.

Contrary to Mu Tangxi's imagination, Ji Qichen really liked Tangxi's attitude.

Being able to relax in front of him doesn't that just mean that they are acquaintances, not strangers!

Show your truest side to each other, understand each other, tolerate each other, and trust each other.

Isn't this what lovers do?!

Ji Qichen has also developed some power recently, and he told Tangxi all about it, including the frontline generals who were introduced to him by his study companion.

Mu Tangxi rested her elbows on the windowsill, supporting her face and staring at Ji Qichen without blinking.

He really likes to talk.

It's quite interesting though.

Gradually, Ji Qichen's voice became smaller and smaller until it disappeared.

He looked at the dreamlike scene before him.

The sunlight shines through the window onto half of Tangxi's face. Fragments of light seem to be jumping on her long eyelashes. The breeze blows by, and the hair on the side of her face flutters with it.

In the sunlight, Tangxi's eyes seemed like melted gold, flowing slowly, bright and dazzling.

The ultramarine dress embroidered with golden butterflies made Tangxi look as white and pure as jade.

Ji Qichen actually wanted Tangxi to share her dark side in exchange.

Only those who have exchanged each other's dark sides will truly let down their guard.

For people like them, pure kindness and innocence are often the most unreliable!

After all, love is a fickle and illusory existence.

Understanding the worst and darkest side of the other party is the key to making the relationship between the two parties the strongest!
