After becoming a concubine, she lived a miserable life every day.

Chapter 11 Was she just coaxing him?

Seeing that the person's eyebrows and eyes were three-quarters similar to his own, even the frown was so similar. Perhaps because of the blood relationship, Qi You's heart, which had been cold for many years, softened a little in an instant.

Thinking of what she had just said, Qi You's heart began to beat uncontrollably.

Did she really intend to bring him up with her? Qi You's eyes began to moisten again. He thought that after so many years, he no longer needed this so-called maternal love. But when all this was in front of him and within his reach, his heart was not as calm as he had imagined. He thought, he was longing for it.

Looking at Qiao Rongjin who was sleeping soundly in a daze, Qi You didn't know why she didn't die, because at this time in the previous life, she had been sentenced to death by that man. The crime was adultery. This stigma accompanied him throughout his life. When people mentioned the fifth son of King Rui, they always added a sentence "son of a sinner" at the end. It was not glorious at all. However, he had let it go long ago, and what others said could no longer affect him.

He tried to pull his hand back several times, but he was afraid that any movement would wake the person up, so Qi You finally gave up and let the person in front of him hold his hand, and he kept his eyes open until dawn.

The morning light is dim.

Splendid Hall.

Prince Rui arrived at dawn. When he saw the maid from Jinxiu Hall was about to speak, he hurriedly stopped her and walked towards the room where Qi You was resting without hesitation.

As soon as I came in, I saw Qiao Rongjin sleeping beside the bed.

The woman was wearing a light blue dress spread out on the ground, her three thousand strands of black hair hung down at her waist, covering her slender waist that could be held in one hand, revealing her fair and delicate earlobes. Her head wrapped in a white cloth was resting on her left hand, and her right hand was still holding the hand of the child on the bed. When you got closer, you could see that her eyes were closed, and her thick eyelashes were like small fans, making you want to count them clearly. Her sleeping face was very peaceful and well-behaved. Prince Rui was stunned for a moment, and his heart softened unconsciously when he saw this scene.

If Qiao had always been so well-behaved, he wouldn't have hated her so much.

In the future, as long as she is no longer so hostile to Ayun, he will be willing to give her some face and let her have a foothold in the palace. After all, she is Xiaowu's biological mother.

It was still a little chilly at night, and Prince Rui subconsciously wanted to pull the quilt beside him to cover Qiao Rongjin. However, just as he stretched out his hand, there was a noise on the bed. Prince Rui pulled his hand back abruptly and looked at Qi You who was turning over on the bed. A look of joy flashed across his face, and he quickly called out, "Xiao Wu!"

Qiao Rongjin was also awakened by this action. When she opened her eyes, she saw that Prince Rui was so close to her. Her blank look disappeared instantly. She quickly stood up and wanted to salute. However, perhaps because she had been in this position for too long, her legs and hands were weak and numb. She lost control the moment she stood up and was about to fall. Suddenly, a big hand held her arm and she barely stood steady. Qiao Rongjin reacted quickly, stepped back a few steps, and leaned over to say, "Your servant greets the prince."

This scene only happened in a split second, and King Rui was a little slow to react. When he heard Qiao Rongjin's voice, he came back to his senses and said, "Xiao Wu moved just now."

Hearing this, Qiao Rongjin ignored King Rui and turned to look at the person on the bed, with a look of joy on his face. "It's good that he woke up! It's good that he woke up!" Oh, right, "Doctor Zhao! Doctor Zhao!"

Qi You just woke up, and we need to take his pulse again to see how he is doing.

At this time, Qi You slowly opened his eyes. The light in the room was a little dazzling. He couldn't help but close his eyes, then opened them again. Then he saw two people standing in front of him. Qi You didn't look at his father, but turned to look at Qiao Rongjin without saying a word.

In fact, he knew that it was Qi Heng who came in just now. He had sharp five senses since he was a child. After all, he was so familiar with Qi Heng's breath, so he deliberately closed his eyes. Every move of Qi Heng, his father, was under his eyes. Feeling his breath getting closer and closer, Qi You subconsciously made a noise.

"Qi You, you really woke up! That's great!" Qiao Rongjin was rarely excited. He didn't know if he was touched by the child's innocent and confused eyes. In his excitement, Qiao Rongjin bent down and hugged him, and gave him a big kiss on the face to express his love.

So, Qi You successfully froze, staring blankly ahead, feeling the warm embrace, his big eyes suddenly became moist.

His world seemed to turn into color at this moment.

Prince Rui, who was standing aside, was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened as he reacted. How could this be so... Prince Rui didn't know how to describe his feelings for a moment, but the warm atmosphere between the mother and son made him unable to bear to interrupt, so he could only watch the scene coldly.

Wang Fuyang, who had been following Prince Rui, also widened his eyes at this moment. He had never seen a mother and son get along like this.

Doctor Zhao and the other court doctor were also a little stunned at this moment. They didn't expect that Master Qiao and the Fifth Young Master would get along so... er... differently. Then what was the matter with the mother and son not interacting with each other before? The two of them stared at each other, really unable to figure it out.

Qiao Rongjin did not forget the main business, and reminded Qi You, "Be good, let Doctor Zhao take your pulse."

Qi You still didn't say anything, just stared at Qiao Rongjin without blinking, his heart softening again and again.

Was she coaxing him just now? Yes, she was coaxing him. Realizing this, Qi You's heart was burning. He looked at Qiao Rongjin without moving his eyes, but his hand was obediently stretched out to the doctor.

Seeing Qi You like this, Qiao Rongjin just felt that he was a child relying on her, and immediately smiled at him soothingly.

Qi You forced himself into an ugly smile in response to Qiao Rongjin. Now even if he was asked to call her mother, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

King Rui looked at the mother and son, who were so affectionate with each other, and felt a little annoyed. This brat hadn't even looked at him since he woke up! What's the matter? He doesn't like him, right? And Qiao, who used to look at him with eyes that wanted to stick to him, ignored him completely today. King Rui was a little upset, but others couldn't see it because he always looked serious.

At this moment, the princess also arrived late. She slept late today and did not expect the prince to come so early.

"I have met the prince."

Prince Rui said "hmm" and lost interest in saying anything.

"Your servant greets the princess." Qiao Rongjin also saluted the princess in a proper manner. In this strict palace, it would be unworthy to accidentally offend the mistress of the house and suffer in the future.

"Get up, you've worked hard." The princess said indifferently.

Hearing his mother call him "slave", Qi You frowned slightly when he was lying on the bed.
