The fourteenth round
Nan Chengyao was not in the mansion, so Qin An led his mother to the main hall and personally accompanied him.
When he saw me coming, he bowed and then withdrew, leaving time for me to speak to my mother, and only told the maid to be careful.
My mother got up with a dark incense and blessed me: "I have seen the three princesses." ”
I hurriedly helped her up: "There are no outsiders, and the mother still makes such a salute to her daughter, is it to make Qing'er feel uneasy?"
The mother straightened up and said, "At any time, the courtesy of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished." What's more, now, the Murong family can't make a wrong step, and let people grab the pigtails and talk about things. ”
I saw that my mother's expression was a little different from the previous seriousness, and I couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
The mother sighed softly: "Yun'er is back." ”
That's what I guessed, but what I didn't expect was that my mother's voice was deep when she mentioned it.
I sighed for a moment, smiled and said, "Mother hasn't seen where I live yet, why don't you let Qing'er accompany you to sit in the Moge Pavilion for a while, are you optimistic?"
With an appreciative look in her eyes, my mother smiled and nodded at me.
When I arrived at the Guimo Pavilion, after the poetic and picturesque tea, they all withdrew, and only my mother and I were left in the room, as well as the three old people of the Xiangfu, Shuying, Dark Fragrance and Bizhi.
Bi Zhi has been waiting for her mother for many years, she has always been careful and clever, she looked carefully into the room, and then looked out the window under the porch, and was sure that there was no one, so she came back and nodded to her mother.
The room was quiet, and I could hear my mother's soft sigh ringing in my ears: "Yun'er is pregnant." ”
I was slightly startled, and turned my eyes to look at my mother, her expression was helpless and worried, it didn't seem like she was joking with me, and it was impossible to laugh at such a big thing.
It's just that what I don't understand is that even though the worry on my mother's face is real, what is the purpose of the joy that she can't hide despite her extreme restraint in her eyebrows?
After a moment of silence, I asked directly: "Do you already know who the child's father is?"
The mother nodded, paused for a long time, and then spoke again, with a sigh: "It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, Nan Chengmian ." ”
This time, I wasn't too surprised, although I didn't expect it to be the prince, but this explained the hidden joy between my mother's eyebrows.
The crown prince has not yet married a wife, if Yun'er can really marry into the East Palace smoothly, then the Murong family will really be very prosperous. Two daughters, one married to the most favored Third Highness, and the other, most likely, the future queen.
It's just that not everyone can afford such an imperial grace. I sighed in my heart.
My mother didn't notice my silence, and continued to speak with some helplessness and unconcealed joy: "Yun'er, this child, is really nonsense, I couldn't believe it when the prince personally sent her back to the house last night. But I see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really good to her, although he may be for the flesh and blood in Yun'er's womb. However, it is rare that such a pampered person would have such a considerate demeanor. ”
I remained silent and listened to my mother's voice.
"I heard Yun'er say that they met unexpectedly when they were appreciating the lanterns in Shangyuan last year, and they had affection for each other, and they wanted to wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to officially ask the emperor for marriage, but they didn't want the holy will to go first, so they gave her a marriage to His Royal Highness. It happened suddenly, and she couldn't think too much about it for a while, so she had to take the dark incense, run away from the marriage overnight, and leave home to go to the prince. ”
Mother suddenly laughed: "No wonder, no matter how many people your father sent to look for her, she couldn't find her, but it turned out that she was hiding in the East Palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was willing to protect her, so it was natural that she couldn't find it." ”
Maybe it was because she saw that I had been silent, my mother gradually smiled, held my hand and said, "Qing'er, my mother knows that you are wronged, and this matter is all Yun'er's nonsense in the final analysis." But don't worry about her, she is your sister after all, and she is not sensible yet. ”
I shook my head, but just asked, "How is Yun'er now?"
When her mother heard this, she frowned slightly: "If she can marry into the East Palace, she will naturally be good." If she can't, she is afraid that her life will be ruined. ”
I didn't speak, and Shuying couldn't help but ask, "Isn't Miss Yun already pregnant with His Royal Highness the Prince, how can she not marry into the East Palace?"
Mother didn't blame her for interjecting, but she didn't pay attention to her, just saw that I was silent, and after a while, she finally sighed lightly, and asked Bi Zhi to bring the shadow and dark incense to guard outside the door, shook my hand and said:
"Qing'er, my mother doesn't hide it from you, now it's not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is willing to marry, Yun'er will definitely be able to marry into the East Palace. The Murong family is powerful in the court, and the saint has become suspicious, and the Murong family already has a daughter who is the princess, and he may not want to see another Murong woman become the crown princess again. If our guess is not wrong, then the child in Yun'er's womb is very likely not the weight of her to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and in the mouth of the emperor, it may become an excuse for losing her virtue and not being worthy of the important responsibility of the crown princess. ”
I looked at my mother and said quietly: "Since my father and mother can see through this situation, why do you have to enter the East Palace, put her, and put the entire Murong family on the coals." ”
My mother looked at me in disbelief, and after a while, she turned her head away, and said sadly: "Qing'er, for you, your father and I have always been ashamed, because we are sorry for you." But you can't misinterpret us like that. Do you think that your father and I are willing to sell our daughters for the sake of power? Are you wrong? If it weren't for Yun'er's deep affection for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and her pregnancy with his flesh and blood, I would never have wanted her to wade into this muddy water. Houmen Yuanshen, I have no choice but to lose a daughter in it, your grievances and your father are both in my eyes, how can I be willing to enter the heavenly family again?"
The mother said, shedding tears: "What parent doesn't want their children to have a smooth life, but in a family like ours, sometimes, many things can't help themselves. Now that Yun'er is like this, apart from the crown prince, which good family is willing to want her? Even if the other party marries her because of the power of our Murong family, how will they treat her? Your sister has nothing to do, but she is so arrogant, I'm afraid she won't be able to stand it then......"
My mother's voice was choked up, and I couldn't go on anymore, but at that moment, I blamed myself deeply.
What's wrong with me, is it because I've been with Nan Chengyao for a long time, and I'm too suspicious of him and doesn't trust anyone, so now, even my own parents are suspicious, and I made my mother so sad.
hurriedly took the silk to wipe her tears with her mother, and she couldn't help but have tears and deep remorse: "It's Qing'er's mistake, don't be sad, it's Qing'er's mistake." ”
My mother just looked at me and shook her head, tears still falling.
I held back my tears and forced myself to smile: "I understand my mother's hard work, Yun'er is my own sister, and I will definitely not let her be wronged." When the Third Highness returns home, Qing'er must beg His Highness to intercede with the Holy Lord, and he will definitely be able to fulfill the marriage between Yun'er and His Royal Highness the Prince......"
Before I could finish my words, my mother had already hugged me tightly in her arms, and I couldn't stop crying.
