Chapter 6: The Past
Jiang Chen stayed in the spiritual courtyard sullenly until the afternoon, and Yue Wujing and Wei Chide, who had just gotten along with him very well, did not dislike and alienate him because he couldn't become a spiritual cultivator, Yue Wujing and Wei Chide said some immature comforting words, and finally after the words were exhausted, the three of them were sitting together a little sullenly, and they really didn't know how to persuade him. After school, when he came out of the spiritual courtyard, the eunuch who picked him up in the morning was already waiting there, and when he was about to step forward, Jiang Chen walked forward with his head down, and the eunuch hurriedly chased after him, and shouted in a unique shrill voice: "Little boy, don't you dare to run around, come with me." ”
Jiang Chen raised his head and looked at him, but lowered his head again, and just followed the leading eunuch forward. The afterglow of the setting sun stretches the small figure long, making it even more lonely. The eunuch looked at Jiang Chen as happy as he was when he went to school in the morning, and guessed that he might have been bullied by others, and it was not surprising that this kind of thing happened from time to time in the spiritual courtyard.
The eunuch suddenly stopped and turned around while walking, and Jiang Chen, who had been walking with his head down, was caught off guard and directly bumped into his arms. The eunuch hurriedly supported Jiang Chen, and after Jiang Chen stood still, the eunuch took out a waist card from his arms, which was engraved with a glittering unicorn, and a quasi-character was engraved with a small seal on the back. handed it to Jiang Chen and said: "This is the palace walking waist card given to you by the monarch, you must take it, tomorrow you will go to the spiritual courtyard by yourself, you must remember the route, there are many forbidden places in this palace, don't trespass, otherwise you will cause trouble." After explaining the precautions again, he led him to continue walking towards Fengluoyuan.
When he came in the morning, Jiang Chen had already memorized the route clearly, and he didn't need to take him home again. At this time, I was still worried about the fact that I couldn't become a spiritual cultivator, and I didn't want to say anything, but just followed him and took me away. All the way to Fengluo Garden, Zhao Qin'er and the little maid Xiangming, who had been playing with Jiang Chen, had already been waiting at the door, when Jiang Chen saw his mother, all the grievances today could no longer be suppressed, and tears were already flowing out, Zhao Qin'er hurriedly greeted him, first saw Jiang Chen with some scars on his face, which was injured when Jiang Chen and Zhao Rong fought before. Zhao Qin'er asked slightly, and after some comfort, Jiang Chen stopped crying. After Zhao Qin'er thanked the eunuch, the eunuch waved his hand again and again and said that he didn't dare to retreat and went back to Zhao Lingyun to return to his life.
In an elegant and simple study, Zhao Lingyun was wearing a purple red regular dress, the left and right cuffs were embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon with gold wire, and his hair was simply held by a hosta, sitting behind a red sandalwood desk, and there was a eunuch standing in front of the desk.
Zhao Lingwu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said to himself: "Lingwu, Lingwu, how unwilling you are, I hope you can understand my intention to give you the title of King Jing......" After saying this, Zhao Lingyun didn't know what he thought, the corners of his mouth pulled and smiled slightly, and muttered: "But this time your child provoked Jiang Chen, with Qin'er's calf protection temperament, it seems that you have a good feeling again." ”
In Fengluo Garden, Zhao Qin'er listened to Jiang Chen's detailed account of what happened in the spiritual courtyard today, and she was already angry in her heart. I remembered that when I returned, Zhao Lingwu, as the deputy head of the Zhao royal family, made it difficult for me in every way, although Zhao Qin'er had already been born in the royal family to have the consciousness of family affection, and she had long been discouraged by the royal family, which is why she wanted to leave the country in the first place. But although Zhao Lingwu is not the brother of a mother's sibling, but after all, he is also his brother, but he doesn't miss the love of brother and sister at all, and later there are rumors that Jiang Chen can't become a spiritual cultivator in the upper echelons of the capital, Zhao Qin'er also knows that Zhao Lingwu is the means, but Zhao Qin'er doesn't have the slightest anger, just laughs at Zhao Lingwu is still the same as before, only some naïve and dirty methods that can't be put on the table, and she also knows the reason why Zhao Lingwu is resentful of herself.
It's a cliché story from a long time ago. At that time, Zhao Qin'er was still called Zhao Lingqin, and she changed her name to Zhao Qin'er after meeting Jiang Ye, because the name Qin'er was the name of the closest person to her. At the beginning, although Zhao Lingwu's mother was only an ordinary concubine, before Zhao Lingwu was seven years old, the first monarch was his son, and he was also the only candidate for the throne of the monarch. Until the first queen became pregnant and gave birth to Zhao Lingyun, Zhao Lingwu's identity as the eldest son was in a very awkward position, and the uniqueness of him and the heir to the throne was also broken. And Zhao Lingyun has more innate advantages than him in terms of identity, so Zhao Lingwu is very disgusted with his only younger brother. But later, the matter of the heir to the throne took a turn for the better when Zhao Lingyun was five years old, according to the tradition, members of the royal family, both male and female, had to take the spiritual skill grade test at the age of five, because when the human race grew up to the age of five, the most important spiritual acupoint of the human body had basically developed and formed. After the test, Zhao Lingyun's cultivation talent was a whole level lower than Zhao Lingwu's, Zhao Lingwu was already twelve years old at that time, and he was a gentle and frugal image in front of people, and his cultivation talent had begun to appear, and some of the ministers in the court had speculators, and some had fallen to Zhao Lingwu's camp, and Zhao Lingwu also seemed to have seen the high throne and threw an olive branch to him. And Zhao Qin'er's appearance broke all Zhao Lingwu's illusions about the throne.
At that time, Zhao Qin'er was known as the heavenly lady of Zhao Xin's country, and the emperor was very fond of this talented daughter, so he noticed that Zhao Qin'er, the brother of Zhao Qin'er's mother, who was already not optimistic, was also a wise person, and he could often say some unique opinions on state affairs, and helped the emperor deal with a lot of government affairs, all of which were appreciated by the emperor, and the position of the prince slowly tilted to Zhao Lingyun's side. Because the first empress died shortly after giving birth to Zhao Qin'er, Zhao Lingwu's mother was promoted to the position of concubine by virtue of her son, helping her son compete for the only chair on the high sky. And Zhao Qin'er and Zhao Lingyun, brother and sister, depend on each other in this huge palace and have a deep relationship. Zhao Qin'er has fought with Zhao Lingwu many times, but also showed extremely high political means, with the help of Zhao Qin'er, Zhao Lingyun finally seized an opportunity to defeat Zhao Lingwu and sat on the throne of the prince. Before Zhao Qin'er left a letter and ran away, Zhao Lingyun's wings were abundant, and no one could shake his position, and finally ascended to the throne of the monarch logically. After Zhao Qin'er ran away, Zhao Lingwu removed Zhao Qin'er from the family tree on the grounds that he did not abide by the family rules, and Zhao Lingyun had to choose a compromise under the pressure of the rest of the clan. When Zhao Qin'er returned, Zhao Lingwu instigated some of the Zhao clansmen who were attached to him to prevent Zhao Qin'er from recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors. In the end, no one was strong in the situation, Jiang Wushu's identity as a divine array master, plus Zhao Lingyun's right to speak as the patriarch of the Zhao clan, and the virtuous old prince with the highest prestige in the Zhao clan spoke, and Zhao Qin'er was finally able to write his name back into the Zhao family tree.
In Fengluo Garden, Jiang Chen looked at his mother, although her expression was calm, her eyes flashed, and he knew that her mother was already angry. Because only when she is naughty and messing around, her mother will have such an expression, but I don't know if she is angry with herself, or what?
Zhao Qin'er stood up and touched Jiang Chen's head, and said comfortingly: " Chen'er, there are billions of people in this world who can't practice, and they are the cornerstone of our world, and we can do a lot of things as an ordinary person, we don't necessarily have to be a cultivator, you see your emperor's uncle, his cultivation talent is not very good, but he governs our country very well, you can also help your uncle govern this country better in the future, as long as you are a useful person in the world, you will be worthy of the nurturing grace of your parents, and you will be worthy of heaven and earth. ”
Jiang Chen's little head didn't know what he was thinking at this time, although he heard his mother say this, but it had become an obsession with the fact that he couldn't practice, thinking of the martial arts cultivation that Qin Kunxiao talked about in the cultivation class today, and the fact that Yue Wujing's father was also a martial cultivator, a thought suddenly appeared in his little heart that he also wanted to become a martial cultivator.
Zhao Qin'er thought about what she was going to do, but she didn't notice that Jiang Chen's face was no longer dejected at this moment, but turned into a resolute expression.
Zhao Qin'er touched Jiang Chen's little head and said, "Chen'er, let's go to dinner first! Today there is your favorite Yuzhu soup dumpling, after eating, go to bed early, and go to school tomorrow, as for the practice class, if you still want to take it, go to it, just take it as a physical fitness, if you don't want to go, stay in the classroom and learn more textbook knowledge." ”
Jiang Chen had already put down his mind at this time, and as his mother walked to the dining room, Xiangming had already put the food on the table and was waiting aside, Zhao Qin'er led Jiang Chen to sit down, pointed to the stool next to him and said, "Xiang'er, sit down and eat together!" ”
Xiangming waved her hand again and again: "Don't dare to go beyond the rules." ”
Zhao Qin'er pretended to be angry and said: "If you are told to sit, you will sit, what rules are not ruly." He softened his tone and said: "Xiang'er, for so many years, you have also suffered a lot of grievances, I know that with a master like me, you must have been assigned a lot of work that does not belong to you in private, and this has always been the case in this deep palace, there are so many people who fight dogs and people, but you can rest assured that there will never be such a thing from now on, stay here with me, I am here for the three of us, there are not so many rules in other places, sit down to eat together, and take Chen'er to sleep first after eating." ”
Xiangming already has tears rolling in her eyes, Zhao Qin'er has not taken a step in this Fengluo Garden all these years, and she doesn't care much about the world, so the things inside and outside this Fengluo Garden, this teenage and a half-old girl are all single-handedly handled, and it is inevitable that someone will make it difficult to make a trip, and now when I hear Zhao Qin'er say this, half moved, half aggrieved, but still waved her hand and said: "Princess, I will eat after you and the little boy finish eating, it's okay." ”
Zhao Qin'er had to stand up, pressed Xiangming on the stool, and said, "You kid, why are you disobedient, let you sit down, come and eat!"
Xiangming could only sit on the stool, twisting her body quietly, and finally only sat on a third of the stool, Zhao Qin'er looked at her like this, and it was not good to say anything, I believe she will slowly get used to it in the future, but I miss the lively scene when everyone ate together when there was the Jiang tribe, and I don't know what happened to the rest of the Jiang clan?
After Jiang Chen was full, after saying goodnight to Zhao Qin'er, Xiangming took him back to the bedroom to sleep. After Zhao Qin'er sat alone for a while, she got up and walked towards the gate of Fengluo Garden.
