Chapter 22: This is your life
Sang Xiaoxi, who had been waiting for news, heard that it was King Chen who personally sent Sang Qingrou back. She thought that King Chen wanted to take this opportunity to come to see her, but who knows, she stood in the shadows, watching the carriage of the palace stop at the door, but only saw Sang Qingrou coming down alone.
She was stunned, didn't he come to see her?
Grounded for many days, they haven't seen each other for a long time.
Sang Xiaoxi knew that if she went out now, she would definitely be able to meet Ouyang Shuo. Almost, she couldn't help but walk out. But she remembered her situation and stopped.
King Chen was dissatisfied with the emperor because of her, although his father was not punished, but the emperor had already hinted at his father that he had no way to teach his daughter, and a concubine dared to seduce his favorite prince. Later, after my father returned home, he talked to my mother.
She had been warned by her mother not to get too close to King Chen. She really had no choice, and she didn't want her mother to be angry, so she thought of asking Sang Qingrou for help.
Now, she does maintain correspondence with King Chen, but she is worried that Sang Qingrou will go to King Chen's Mansion every day and develop feelings with Ouyang Shuo for a long time.
Watching the carriage turn around, she took a step, only the next moment, she was caught.
Sang Xiaoxi looked back and saw that it was his mother Liu Mei.
"Mother, why are you here?"
"I just ask you, what do you want to do when you look at it here? Have you forgotten what I told you? Come back with me!" Liu Mei had a dark face, and forcibly took Sang Xiaoxi back to Xiyuan while no one was paying attention.
She sat on the Taishi chair with a black face, and scolded sharply: "Kneel!"
Sang Xiaoxi didn't understand why her mother, who was soft and weak on the outside, could be so majestic when she treated herself.
"Mother, what did I do wrong again?" Sang Xiaoxi knelt in front of her mother, but she didn't understand why her mother was angry.
"What did you do wrong? To this day, you still come to me and ask me what you did wrong. Have you forgotten what you promised me? Do you still want your father to come and accuse me of not teaching my daughter well? Have you forgotten who you are!"
Sang Xiaoxi has heard this kind of words since she was a child, and by now, she is tired of hearing this sentence.
"Mother, that's enough. It's because of your cowardice that you're just a second room in your life. Even if your father likes you in his heart, you still have to be pressed by that woman for the rest of your life. Do you want me to live like you for the rest of my life?"
Sang Xiaoxi has been instilled since she was a child, she is a concubine, she must endure everything and be humble. At first she did this, but she found it useless. The more humble and tolerant she is, the more everyone will bully her.
So, later she learned another way, to protect herself in her own way. When necessary, she should be tougher, so that she can make herself live a little better in the mansion.
Now, she wants to give up her beloved because of her identity. She couldn't do it.
"You are my daughter, how did I teach you since I was a child? The rules of this society are like this, only blame me for not being someone else's wife, and I can't give you the identity of a concubine. You can like any man, but you can't compete with the eldest lady, this is your life. ”
"Mother, my life should be in my own hands, I never believed in life. King Chen only has me in his heart, you can't fail to see that he doesn't have an eldest sister at all. Two people who love each other, why can't they be together?"
"You can be together, but you can't be his concubine, you have to remember that. No matter how much he likes you, he has angered the emperor because of you. If you continue like this, I'm afraid that you will be killed, and when the time comes, my mother will be powerless to protect you. ”
"What do you mean......"
"Do you think that the emperor will allow his best son to disobey him for the sake of a concubine? If there is such a woman, then she deserves to die. ”
Sang Xiaoxi's eyes widened and she looked at her mother, she had never thought of coming up at this level. She wanted to refute her mother's words, but she couldn't find a reason to convince her, and in the end, she could only choose to remain silent.
Mother's words are too realistic.
"You're a smart kid and you should know what I'm talking about. Unless, one day you can be 100% sure that the emperor will accept you and promise you to be together. Otherwise, you can only keep your distance from King Chen. It's not that you haven't seen it, after the eldest lady's injury has improved, she will run to King Chen's mansion all day long, what are you still looking forward to?"
"Mother, things are not what you think. ”
"If that's not the case, what else can it be? You also saw it just now, King Chen personally sent the eldest lady back. Do you think you'll still have a chance? Silly boy, don't be impulsive. If you should let go, you must learn to let go in time. Before you get into it, it's still too late. ”
Sang Xiaoxi frowned, not knowing how to explain this to her mother.
If she was told that Sang Qingrou was actually helping herself deliver a letter by doing this, her mother would definitely not believe it.
She thought about it carefully, and had to respond to her mother for the time being. As for what will happen in the future, with her mother's current attitude, she can only wait for the water to come to fruition and then tell her the truth.
However, Sang Qingrou, she had to guard against it.
In fact, when Liu Mei pulled Sang Xiaoxi away, Ruyu had already seen it. Sang Qingrou only saw them leaving in a hurry, and didn't take this matter to heart.
When she returned, she rested on the soft collapse, and remembered what had happened in the carriage, and she felt a little unhappy in her heart. As soon as she closed her eyes, the picture of Ouyang Shuo almost pressing on her appeared in her mind.
Sang Qingrou opened her eyes suddenly, startled by her own thoughts.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Sang Qingrou waved her hand, thinking, thinking of a handsome guy, human nature, she didn't need to make a fuss. Anyway, Ouyang Shuo is destined to be with Sang Xiaoxi, she has this spare time, it is better to see other handsome guys, Qi Yue is a cute and good baby.
She hadn't rested long before Sang Xiaoxi hurried over. Even though she was scolded by her mother, she still couldn't wait to find out what King Chen had told her.
When Sang Qingrou saw her, she chuckled lightly, leaned lazily on the soft collapse, and did not get up.
She asked, "I thought that you were locked up by the second aunt and reprimanded, but I didn't expect you to come over so soon." It seems that I really want to know what Ouyang Shuo said. ”
Sang Xiaoxi frowned: "You saw it?"
"I'm not blind, and you're not hiding, isn't it normal for me to see it? She made a look, and Ruyu handed her the letter from King Chen.
Sang Qingrou didn't care, continued to lean on the soft collapse, and simply closed her eyes and rested.
