128 Only One Son
When Zhao Panpan was four years old, her mother took her to Jing City and went straight to the Zhao residence. They walked in front of a pale and weak woman. She did not know what they said, but when her mother came out of the house, she had a terrifying smile. The weak woman in the house had already stopped breathing. Later, the other people of the Zhao family said that the woman had died of anger because her mother was a concubine raised by her father outside. However, Zhao Panpan did not think that when she was standing outside the door, she had heard something about replacement, supreme power, and cats. The quarrel was so intense that the delicate woman was so anxious that she fell off the bed. She did not know how their conversation had gotten into the topic of small animals. Later on, Zhao Panpan was locked up in the palace by her mother for many years. No one had seen her when she was young until she was nine years old. One day, she entered the palace and the crown prince was there.
When the empress mentioned it to her mother, everyone seemed to inadvertently talk about the crown prince’s childhood. She followed her mother’s gaze and seemed to be ignorant of the situation as she answered the crown prince. The more she spoke, the brighter the crown prince’s eyes became. It was as if this was a great fate.
“Are you my Xixi? Am I right? You’re actually Madam Xiao’s daughter? Xixi, you’re actually Xixi?” The crown prince pulled her and smiled affectionately. At that time, the crown prince was very surprised. Everyone was very surprised on the surface, but the only one who was truly happy was the crown prince. Zhao Panpan saw satisfaction in the eyes of the empress and her mother.
“This is really a blessing on top of a blessing. I like this child very much. When you were born, Madam Xiao righteously used Xixi to save the crown prince’s life. I didn’t expect that when you were three years old, the two of you knew each other. It can be said that it is fate.” The empress had held her hand and smiled happily.
!!
“You’re really a good child. In the future, you must come to the palace more often to accompany me.” The empress looked at Zhao Panpan’s face as if she could not get enough of it.
Every time this happened, Zhao Panpan’s mother would smile strangely. That was the first time Zhao Panpan and the crown prince had met. The entire Jing City had spread the word that the empress was very fond of her. Later, when they grew up, the emperor had secretly chosen a crown princess for the crown prince. That day, the empress had a big fight with the emperor.
“Xixi, I’m sorry, Xixi. Being the crown prince’s concubine isn’t good enough for you, but don’t worry, the position of the crown prince’s main consort will definitely be yours.” The empress lowered her voice and carefully touched her face. She clearly did not look like an empress at all, but the wmpress always stubbornly believed that they were fated to be very similar. Under her influence, Zhao Panpan felt from the bottom of her heart that she was Xixo, that she should marry into the palace and be above everyone else. So much so that she naturally forgot that she was just a dove occupying the magpie’s nest and was only using the name of the little girl called Xixi. Otherwise, the crown prince would not have treated her differently.
One day, while Zhao Panpan was playing outside the palace, the maids and guards at the palace gates were ordered to leave by the empress.
“The empress is still too kind. What if the crown prince recognizes the child in the future? Why don’t…” Xiao Meili wiped her neck.
“You can’t. I only have one son. When Xixi has already become the crown prince’s main consort, so what if I follow the crown prince’s wishes and take that country girl into the palace as a concubine? I’m not willing to hurt the crown prince’s heart. As for that girl, find a few marriages for her as soon as possible. It is also good to get married early.” The empress seemed to be very afraid of the crown prince. Well, the empress only had one son.
However, Xiao Meili and the empress did not expect that all the men who were engaged to Jiang Xi would make mistakes. They were all honest and well-behaved before the engagement, but they all made mistakes after the engagement. At that time, her mother would always smile and not speak, but her expression was very gloomy. Zhao Panpan suddenly felt that her mother and the Empress were not as harmonious as they seemed on the surface, but what did that have to do with her? She was still the same Zhao Panpan who could treat the palace as her second home. Who in Jing City would not be envious of her? The crown prince doted on her, the empress protected her, and even the emperor treated her differently. That was until… Jiang Xi, suddenly stood in front of her and looked at Zhao Panpan with her clear eyes.
