1577: It Bothered Her To This Date

It Bothered Her To This Date

Aunt Weiwei was supposed to pick them up that day, but it was a cold day and Uncle Emperor could not bear for Aunt Weiwei to leave the Palace, which was why he sent Long Yin to meet them instead.0

It was the first time she had seen Long Yin and his appearance changed some of her views of the world.

He was only an eight-year-old child, but he was already acting like how an Emperor should. He was able to grasp control of any situation when he spoke or handled things.

She had seen many children the same age as Big Bro Long Yin who were either coddled in their parent's arms or running around being a nuisance.

As she was curious about Big Bro Long Yin, she followed him everywhere after entering the Palace.

Due to Aunt Weiwei and her mother's relationship, Big Bro Long Yin tolerated her antics.

He was still quite friendly toward her.

That was until the eve of the Lunar new year when she accidentally pushed Lu Xue to the ground.

Big Bro Long Yin, who had acted friendly and polite to her suddenly changed. Not only was he stern and angry at her, but he had also reached his hand out to push her down.

As she sat in the snow, she watched him carefully pick up Lu Xue in his arms. It was as if he was carrying a fragile item by the tender, caring way he was holding her.

Since that day, she never approached Big Bro Long Yin again.

It was actually not a huge issue, but after all these years, she could still remember clearly what had happened. 

She did not blame Big Bro Long Yin for berating her, nor was she unhappy with Lu Xue. It was her clumsiness that caused Lu Xue to fall. Besides that, Lu Xue had always been weak and poor in health. She would even end up coughing after taking a few steps, which caused Hexin to pity her.

However, why did something that happened so many years ago still bother her to this date?

"This shop is pretty nice. Let's go in to take a look." Yuan Xin's voice pulled Hexin out of her reverie.

Yaoyao tugged on Hexin's sleeve. "What are you thinking about? You looked distracted all the way here." 

"I'm fine. I'm just looking forward to the day when Big Bro Long Yîn arrives." Hexin gave the excuse.

"Oh." Yaoyao nodded and later smiled to say, "My Royal Brother still remembers you."

Hexin was taken aback. "He remembers me?"

"Of course, he does. You were like his shadow when you were young and followed him everywhere. He couldn't get rid of you no matter what he did, which was why he had a deep impression of you," Yaoyao said teasingly.

Hexin rubbed her nose and felt a little embarrassed. "It's best to forget about such an impression of me."

Yuan Xin looked at her daughter thoughtfully.

Yaoyao had fun in the city for the entire day with Yuan Xin and her children accompanying Yaoyao. They bought many items. Some were useful, some were not. They also tasted many famous snacks in the city.

When evening came, Yuan Xin and her children saw Yaoyao to the Palace gates and made sure she had entered the Palace before returning to their mansion.

Hean had worked as a page boy and slaved away for them the entire day, and he immediately returned to his courtyard to have some rest the moment they arrived home.

Yuan Xin accompanied her daughter back to Hexin's courtyard and they begin sorting out their shopping. Yuan Xin asked casually, "What's going on with you today? You look a little distracted."

"I'm fine." Hexin sat next to the table and poured herself a cup of water to drink.

"Don't lie to me." Yuan Xin gave her a poke on the head. "Do you have something against Yin'er?"

Hexin was taken aback. "Why would you think that, Mother?"

Yuan Xin grunted coldly. "You have been acting a little strange since Yaoyao mentioned Yin'er was coming to the Yan Kingdom."

Hexin hugged Yuan Xin's arm helplessly. "I really can't hide anything from you, Mother."

"Stop trying to avoid the topic and tell me honestly. Besides playing together for a while when you were younger, you have never been in contact with him at all. I can't imagine why you would have anything against Yin'er." Yuan Xin looked at her daughter and suddenly realized she did not understand her completely.

Hexin picked up her cup and took a sip before saying lightly, "Some things leave you with a deep impression and you would never be able to forget it even if you never see that person again."
