1592: Missing Her

Missing Her

Jing Xi ignored Little Grape's tantrum and went in to tidy up his room.2

She then went to the little boy's side and asked, "What are you going to wear today?"

Little Grape quickly turned around when he heard Jing Xi's voice, and his mood instantly brightened.

"Auntie Xiaoxi…"

It was clear that the little boy was hurt.

"What's wrong?"

Jing Xi kneeled in front of him and looked at his little face.

Little Grape thought of his dream again, and tears filled his eyes. Knowing that he was about to cry, he quickly held back his tears.

"Who made you cry? Tell me."

Jing Xi tried to grab the little boy's hand, but he quickly hid his hands behind his back.

"I'm not crying. Men don't cry."

Jing Xi had no idea what had happened, but it was clear that the little boy was on the verge of breaking down.

She then slowly touched his face and said, "Come on, you can tell me. I promise not to tell anyone."

Jing Xi's effort finally paid off as the little prince started to talk.

Little Grape had a lovely dream. In his dream, he was lying in someone's warm arms. Without even opening his eyes, he knew they belonged to his mother.

He could feel his mother slowly rocking him back and forth as she hummed a beautiful song. The little boy was so happy that he did not want to wake up.

But he was awoken from his dream when the maid came in to wake him up.

When he opened his eyes and realized his mother was gone, he became angry.

After chasing the maid away, the little boy began to trash the room out of frustration.

After hearing the little boy's story, Jing Xi felt as if her heart was being pierced by thousands of needles. Her heart ached when she thought of the little boy who had to grow up without the love of his mother.

Jing Xi them picked Little Grape up into her arms and began to hum.

Perhaps because she had been Xiao Tieniu's mother for quite some time, she could sympathize with Little Grape's condition.

Shocked by Jing Xi's sudden action, Little Grape raised his head and looked into Jing Xi's eyes. It was as if his dream was happening once again.

"Is this how your mother was in your dream?' Jing Xi then asked after she finished humming a tune.

Little Grape nodded.

Jing Xi did not pursue it any further and continued to hum another tune.

Huo Yunshen had already gotten word from Lan Yi that the little prince was throwing a tantrum and came to check what was going in.

But when they opened the door to Little Grape's room, they were shocked by what they were seeing.

A woman was sitting by the bed with Little Grape in her arms. She was slowly rocking the kid back and forth while humming an unknown tune.

The scene had a significant impact on Huo Yunshen.

In a swift moment, he thought that woman was his long lost wife.

Unable to believe his eyes, he let out a soft whisper.

"Jing Xi…"

Lan Yi had already realized that the woman by the bed was not Jing Xi, but Jin Xiaoxi instead. And when she heard her king whisper the name of his deceased wife, she couldn't help but sigh as she knew the king was thinking about Jing Xi again.
