Mei Niang saw that Wen Xing lowered his eyelashes and looked sad, but she was right.She pulled the cloth towel aside to wipe her hands, walked to Wen Xing's side and gently stroked his hair.

A warm feeling came from the tip of his hair, Wen Xing withdrew his thoughts and raised his head, the confusion still remained in his eyes, he looked like a helpless child, one couldn't help but want to hug him to comfort him.

But after all, there are still differences in identities. Mei Niang just patted his head again and said, "I don't understand your things, but conflicts must be resolved. I called Fei Qing out, the two of you Let's talk for a while, okay?"

Wen Xing pursed his lips and thought for a while, finally nodded and thanked him softly.

Mei Niang smiled, turned and walked into the shop.

And the moment she turned around, Wen Xing put away his bewildered look just now, and his transparent eyes were stained with a layer of gray thoughts.He looked in the direction of the imperial city from afar, his eyebrows slightly frowned.

"Wen! OK!" A crisp, youthful voice exploded in Wen Xing's ears.

Wen Xing was so frightened that he took a half step back, his eyes widened, he retracted all the emotions that did not match his age, and stared at the source of the sound vigilantly, and saw a boy in black with his hands on his hips, angrily Staring back at him - this person is Fei Qing, Fei's third son.

Seeing the person coming, Wen Xing breathed a sigh of relief, secretly annoyed at his overreaction, for fear that Fei Qing would notice something.

However, Fei Qing was still a nine-year-old boy, usually careless, and didn't pay attention to these small details.

"I've called you so many times and you still ignore me!" Fei Qing pouted, looking at Wen Xing resentfully, "Do you really want to abandon me and go to the palace to realize your dream of becoming a minister?"

The location of the imperial city in Zhang'an City is familiar to almost all the residents, and before Wen Xing always thought about becoming an official in the court when he grows up, Fei Qing naturally thought that he was looking forward to it.

Wen Xing flattened his mouth when he heard the words, deliberately lowered his voice, and said aggrievedly: "So that's why you miss me..."

Although Fei's family is not from a family of generals, most of them are military generals. Fei Qing is even determined to take the martial arts exam in the future, so in essence, he is a guy who takes the soft but not the hard.Seeing Wen Xing's disappointed look, the anger that was not much in the first place was extinguished in an instant.

Wen Xing, who was always paying attention to Fei Qing, knew that he had slipped through, he was relieved from the bottom of his heart, and still maintained that look on his face, while turning around, he said: "If that's the case, then I won't be here to obstruct your eyes .”

After speaking, he was about to lift his foot to leave, but before he could take the first step, someone grabbed the cuff of his left hand.

"Wen Xing... Ah Xing, I was wrong, can you forgive me?"

Wen Xing glanced back at him sideways, his lips were tightly pursed, but the bottom of his eyes was like a pool of clear water, peaceful and clean, and there was still a faint smile.He asked, "Where did you go wrong?"

"I shouldn't have blamed you, shouldn't have misunderstood you, shouldn't have been angry with you for no reason... I'm sorry I was wrong!" Fei Qing spoke quickly, then paused before adding the last sentence, "But next time I will dare."

Wen Xing finally couldn't help chuckling, like the early spring when the ice and snow melted, warm and cool at the same time.

It had been a long, long time since he had been so naive and unreasonable with Fei Qing.

Xu Shi's sorrow was too obvious this time, Rao Shifei Qing felt something was wrong, and asked, "What's wrong with you? You seem very unhappy."

Facing Shang Feiqing's worried eyes, Wen Xing sighed softly, and said sullenly, "I don't want to enter the palace."

"Don't want to enter the palace?" Fei Qing couldn't help but raise her voice in surprise.

Wen Xing quickly covered his mouth, and after making sure that there were not too many people around, he let go, and pulled Fei Qing all the way to a small pavilion where there were almost no people.

One must know that this is the capital city, and although the people are allowed to discuss politics now, if the children of these aristocratic families say something wrong, they are still very likely to cause trouble to the upper body.

When there was finally no one around, Fei Qing couldn't wait to ask: "Didn't you always want to enter the imperial court? This is a good opportunity. If you perform well, you will be saved from the imperial examination."

After all, Fei Qing is a child who has not yet experienced the world, and does not understand the chaotic atmosphere in the palace.

It was not easy for Wen Xing to explain so much to him, so he replied with drooping eyes: "There are too many restrictions in the palace, I don't want to be restrained so early. And if the prince is not easy to get along with, my father and elder brother are ordered to go out again , I’m a little kid in the palace alone and helpless, I don’t know what to do if anything happens.”

After thinking about it, Fei Qing felt the same, then frowned, and asked: "But the emperor's order is hard to disobey, you can't resist it, right?"

"Oh, that's why I escaped from the mansion this morning." Wen Xing curled his lips, "It might be a while."

Both his father and elder brother were well-known generals in the Northern Dynasty, and there was even a faint situation in the frontier where only the generals of the Wen family were known but not the current emperor Anlong.At this time in his previous life, he didn't understand anything, thinking that he was lucky.But in this life, he saw clearly that Emperor Anlong just wanted to use him to check and balance the Wen family.

If he resisted the order because of his own selfishness, there might be serious consequences.

"Oh, that's right." Fei Qing suddenly thought of something, "Didn't you enter the palace as a companion student? Then you can continue to live in your own home. The trouble is a little troublesome, but it is still much more free."

His words awakened Wen Xing.

Wen Xing was too constrained by his previous life, subconsciously equated entering the palace as a companion to study with living in the palace.

His eyes lit up, adding a gleam to his originally gloomy expression. "You're right, let's do it, thank you."

Fei Qing put his shoulders on his shoulders, and said with a smile: "Thank you. Isn't your mother going out with the army sometimes? If there is no one in your house one day, come to my place."

Wen Xing grew up relatively slowly, although his physical age was one year older than Fei Qing's, he was half a head shorter, so at first glance he looked more like a child being protected.

Wen Xing, whose mental age was earlier than Guan Guan's, felt a little uncomfortable, and moved his hands tucked in his sleeves, but he still didn't push him away after all.

"Oh no!" Fei Qing suddenly let go of her hand and patted herself on the head, "I forgot that my father told me to go back early, and he wants to teach me martial arts when he is free today! I will leave without accompanying you!"

After finishing speaking, Fei Qing left Wen Xing and ran away in a hurry, his dedication to martial arts can be seen.

Looking at his hurried black figure, Wen Xing couldn't help chuckling, and murmured, "Sure enough, he's just a child."

But after speaking, he couldn't help but envy him again.

Born in a family of generals, it must be a lie to say that he doesn't want to practice martial arts.But his father said that he suffered from a serious illness when he was young, and his bones were relatively weak, so he was not suitable for martial arts, so if he wanted to serve the court, he could only take the path of a civil servant.He was sad for a long time because of this.

"rustle--"

A voice suddenly came from the lawn behind the pavilion. Wen Xing subconsciously turned his head vigilantly, and saw a child who looked no more than seven or eight years old standing not far away.

The child was born cute, and looked very energetic, but he was wearing a dirty orange dress, and his loose hair was a bit messy.He flinched when he saw someone in the pavilion, but his eyes were firmly on Wen Xing.

Seeing the child in such a mess, Wen Xing felt sorry for him, and asked softly, "Why are you here alone? Where's your family?"

Wen Xing himself has a clear and clear youthful voice, but under his deliberate depression, it appears very peaceful and makes people feel close.

The child seemed to be told something sad, his clear eyes were clouded with mist, and he said sadly with a flat mouth: "I can't find it..."

A cute child can always easily arouse Wen Xing's sympathy, but it's not enough to make him let go of his vigilance.

He pursed his lips and smiled, and asked softly, "Are you tired? Do you want to come over and sit for a while?"

Wen Xing's smile is always light and shallow, but it can also show sincerity, making people feel like they are in the spring breeze.

The child couldn't help nodding slightly, walked into the pavilion, and sat down with Wen Xing.

Wen Xing guessed that the child had also been hungry for a while, so he handed him the steamed bun that he hadn't had time to open, and said, "You must be hungry, right? If you don't mind, just eat some of this to fill your stomach."

Wen Xing could tell from the child's clothes that he should be a child of a rich family.But nowadays, rich and noble families from other places move to Zhang'an from time to time, so it is normal to see a few lost children occasionally.

The child seemed to be really hungry, and after a few hesitant glances, he still couldn't help but take it. After thanking him politely, he couldn't help but opened the greased paper and took a big bite.

Wen Xing smiled lightly, while straightening out his messy hair, he pretended to ask casually, "What's your name?"

Xie Yi swallowed a mouthful of steamed stuffed bun, blurted out: "Single name, one garment..."

Before he finished speaking, he bit the tip of his tongue lightly, and swallowed the remaining half of the sentence together with the buns.Immediately afterwards, he secretly glanced at Wen Xing.

Because of his words, Wen Xing couldn't help recalling the first words he said to the prince in high spirits when he first met the prince in his previous life——

"The lonely name is Yi, Xie Yi. You can just call His Highness Gu."

At that time, he was not very popular with the prince Xie Yi, and he often didn't see each other a few times except for class.Thinking of that scene now, he can't even remember what Xie Yi looked like when he was a child.

When he first heard the child introduce himself like this, Wen Xing couldn't help flashing an idea, but he quickly denied this idea with a wry smile.

When Emperor Anlong was young, he was assassinated and almost died when he left the palace, so he strictly prohibited the prince Xie Yi from leaving the palace before he was ten years old.And now Xie Yi is seven years old when he was enlightened. Although he was self-willed when he was young, he would never easily disobey Emperor An Long's orders, so it is impossible for him to appear here.

What's more, the kid didn't even have a guard around him.

He shook his head, and when he regained his thoughts, he saw the child looking at him without blinking, his eyes were shining, as if he was looking at some rare treasure.

Wen Xing blinked and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xie Yi quickly looked away, shook his head obediently, said "nothing" in a muffled voice, then lowered his head and continued to eat the buns.

Wen Xing's eyes flickered slightly, but the smile on his face remained undiminished, and he took out the handkerchief he carried with him, and gently wiped Xie Yi's dirty face.

Xie Yi's body froze for a moment, but soon relaxed again.It's just that this slight change in him was still fully seen by Wen Xing.

Wen Xing took back the handkerchief, looked at his clean face, and said with a smile under his curious eyes: "It's nothing, you can continue to eat."

Even though he felt apprehensive, Xie Yi forced himself to calm down, nodded and ate the steamed stuffed bun absently.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.

At this moment, Wen Xing suddenly broke the weird atmosphere by speaking casually.

"Tell me, why did you lie to me that you were lost?"
