Chapter 43: Mo's Aunt and Nephew

Qi Shi laughed when he heard this: "Just a character like the third brother who can be literate and martial, talented and beautiful, saying that he can also cook the way of cooking, it is estimated that he will be able to deceive Guan'er, Sui'er, and a few who are looking forward, I will not believe it!"

"Sister-in-law, you really guessed wrong! Not only does he know how to cook, but he also does it well!" Sheng Weiqiao carefully recalled the craftsmanship of the sleeping crane, although he couldn't say how amazing and brilliant he was, but it was indeed okay. Because when the two of them were trapped in the valley, the three meals were all solved by the sleeping crane, and at that time, Sheng Weiqiao felt that the most inconvenient thing was that no one helped him make up, and he didn't feel difficult to swallow for eating.

As far as she is concerned, she is not tired of eating snacks, and she can feel that it is "not unpalatable", which is already delicious for ordinary people.

Especially at that time, in addition to some salt and other condiments preserved in the cave, most of the ingredients were temporarily found in the valley, and the valley said that the grass and trees were everywhere, and it was not as complete as the serious kitchen.

The food made in this case did not disgust Sheng Weiqiao, which shows that Rong Sleeping Crane's cooking skills are really not bad.

At this time, in front of his mother-in-law, Sheng Weiqiao thought that he should praise it, "The oysters and crabs he made before were very delicious!"

Qi Shi glanced at this brother and daughter-in-law a little helplessly, and said with a forced smile: "Is it? This is really unexpected." ”

Then immediately changed the topic, "Mother, you taste this almond tofu, it seems to be different from what we make in our house?"

Sheng Weiqiao was stunned, she would come to her senses, was she afraid that Princess Gaomi would be unhappy when she heard that Rong Sleeping Crane was cooking for herself?

She was a little annoyed at once, and felt that this mother-in-law was really difficult to get along with: Since you are so spoiled by your son, you should be attentive as soon as possible, don't let him go out!

What does it mean to show me the attitude of pampering my son everywhere at this time?!

Do you expect me to spend three months learning to make thirty or forty kinds of pastries to please the sleeping crane!?

It's pretty much the other way around!

"After fifteen years of absence, I really don't know the crane. When Princess Gaomi heard this, she was silent for a while, and then said faintly, "Fortunately, I called Kang Zhao today, you came over to talk...... You're going to have to come back often!"

When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, he felt that there was no euphemism in it, so he slowed down his expression and nodded: "It's good that the concubine doesn't bother her daughter-in-law." ”

Qi was afraid of accidents, and secondly, he was worried about the eldest daughter's lifelong events, and when he saw that Princess Gaomi seemed to be a little tired, he smiled and said, "Mother, are you going to take a rest?"

The princess was indeed a little tired, and nodded when she heard this, so Qi pulled Sheng Weiqiao to retire with relief.

After the two of them left Xiangji Hall, they went to Cuihuang Courtyard, Qi was afraid that Sheng Weiqiao would have any opinions on Princess Gaomi, so after going back, he complained to Rong Mianhe, which made the already precarious mother-son relationship worse, and Tete interceded with her mother-in-law: "Actually, the mother concubine didn't mean to target your younger brother and sister, mainly because she was worried about the third brother over the years, she was really bitter in her heart." At this time, the third brother came back, and the mother concubine was only five years old when the third brother was outcast, and she couldn't help but look at the third brother with the mood of looking at a five-year-old child.

"Sister-in-law, you think too much, and the mother concubine didn't say anything?" Although Sheng Weiqiao felt that it was a bit tiring to get along with this kind of mother-in-law who regarded her son as a child, she had to consider whether she would feel sorry for her son because of this, but it was naturally impossible to say it at this time, and after a polite sentence, she took the opportunity to ask about the things that she had doubted for a long time, "Since the mother concubine feels so sorry for Mizhen, how could she let Mizhen go out in the first place?"

When Qi Shi heard this, his face showed a touch of complexity, and he hesitated for a while before he smiled bitterly: "This matter...... I'm really a little speechless! But brother and sister, you're not an outsider now, and since you asked, it's not good not to tell you. ”

"It's strange to say it...... Although the prince is the eldest son, his younger siblings have probably heard that he has mediocre talent and no outstanding talents. ”

"At this time, the heirs of the palace were thin, but at that time, Concubine Mo alone gave birth to four sons, one daughter and five children to her father, not to mention the children born to other concubines. ”

"Although Concubine Mo entered the door four years later than her mother, the first child she gave to her father was a male heir, but she was half a year younger than the son. ”

"This is because the mother concubine was personally told to her father by the first emperor shortly before her death, and she caught up with the death of the first emperor when she passed the door. ”

"And not long after the prince and his mother were filial, our grandmother, I mean the concubine in the palace, personally came forward and brought her niece into the palace as a side concubine. ”

"At that time, I hadn't passed the door, and I heard my mother's parents occasionally mention that the side concubine was probably spoiled by the family, and her temperament was a little spicy, and she liked to pinch the tip to be strong. The mother concubine was born in a family, and she didn't care about her, so she acted more and more by her sex......"

When Qi said this, he pursed his lips and continued, "Then the first male heir she gave birth to her father, no matter how he looks, temperament or talent, he is very much like his father...... is also very far from him. In addition to regretting it, his father also liked him very much, and even pointed to the male heir in public after getting drunk and said, "All the sons under the knees, only this son Xiao Gu" said...... Although his father made amends to his mother after he woke up, explaining that his words were just to encourage his son, he ......"

She pondered for a while, "But the mother concubine didn't take it seriously, Concubine Mo, probably just had a thought that shouldn't have been." It seems that what happened to the third brother at the beginning had a lot to do with her. ”

"But God has eyes, not long after the third brother disappeared, there was an epidemic in the house, and Concubine Mo's mother and son were gone. ”

Sheng Weiqiao heard the hint in her words, Concubine Mo saw that the son of the world was mediocre and her son was excellent, and she had the idea of becoming the son of the world, so she participated in the conspiracy of Rong Sleeping Crane to be exiled, and Princess Gaomi sent the mother and son to Huangquan as revenge afterwards...... This is similar to the speculation of the outside world, Sheng Weiqiao is not surprised at this time.

What is strange to her is that even if Princess Gaomi was hindered by everyone's background at that time, she had to show the temperament of not caring about the side concubine, but it was still the princess who presided over the feed and held the power in the backyard of the palace.

And since Concubine Mo's purpose is to seek the position of the son of the world for her son, why would she target Rong Sleeping Crane instead of the son of the world?

She is so sure that after killing one of King Gaomi's sons-in-law, can she still let King Gaomi appoint her son to replace Rong Qingchu?

Or was her favor in front of King Gaomi so strong at that time?

"I don't know much about that. For these doubts, Qi thought for a while, but said apologetically, "When the third brother disappeared, I hadn't married yet, and I wasn't very old at the time, and I didn't think that I would be a child wife, so I didn't care about these things at all...... But ......"

She squinted her eyes and glanced in the direction of the palace, "I suspect that it has anything to do with the tea ceremony you made the next day when you entered the door, and entered the palace to greet the queen mother, but you didn't go to the concubine at all?"

The Qi family didn't mention Concubine Mo, and Sheng Weiqiao almost forgot about Rong Sleeping Crane's grandmother.

In fact, after entering the palace in a hurry that day, whether it was Empress Dowager Meng or Emperor Xuanjing or Er Shu or Rong Sleeping Crane, it was as if there was no such person as Concubine Mo at all, Sheng Weiqiao was busy watching the battle between the Queen Mother and Er Shu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and it was too late to remember.

At this time, she was mentioned by Qi, and she hurriedly asked, "Didn't you go to the concubine that time...... Did the concubine tell you?"

"The mother concubine specially sent a generous gift into the palace to the queen mother. Qi whispered, "I just ask the Queen Mother to let you and your third brother enter the palace without being disturbed by idlers." ”

This "idler" obviously refers to Concubine Mo.

Sheng Weiqiao's guess should be correct, after all, Princess Gaomi, who can be called a model for everyone's ladies at that time, pays the most attention to taking into account the overall situation, and her mother-in-law is not going too far, so she should not be so faceless to her elders.

She couldn't help but feel that Rong Sleeping Crane was really sad, and she actually put such a grandmother on the table: "What does the concubine think? Concubine Mo is her niece, isn't Mizhen her own grandson?" ”

The most important thing is that Princess Gaomi, the mother of Rong Sleeping Crane, was specially told to King Gaomi by the first emperor before his death!

The reason why the first emperor chose Princess Gaomi was not only because of her own talent and appearance, but also because of the Zhao family behind her!

Where did Concubine Mo get the confidence to flatten and pinch such a daughter-in-law at will?

To put it mildly, fortunately, it was Concubine Mo who were unlucky in the "epidemic", if it was Princess Gaomi's mother and son, how could the Zhao family continue to support King Gaomi?!

At that time, Concubine Mo will be unlucky with this son!

The fate of Eighty Cheng Rou Guifei is their rut!

"I have basically never seen the concubine, what does her old man think, I don't dare to speculate. Qi said this, but he still guessed, "It is said that when the first emperor was here, he was not as fond of the concubine as he was Rouguifei, but he was also responsive and loved like a treasure." ”

So, this is spoiled and dizzy?

Considering that Concubine Mo has not shown particularly great wisdom so far, but she has the meaning that mothers are more precious than children, Sheng Weiqiao thinks that it is not impossible for this concubine to get into the water, but she has pity for her mother-in-law: "It must have been very difficult for the mother concubine at the beginning...... I mean, when Mizhen was still in the palace. ”

Although it is said that after Rong Sleeping Crane disappeared, it will definitely be more difficult for the princess.

Qi also felt the same way: "When I entered the door, because it was only a few years before the 'epidemic', many people said that the mother concubine was estimated to be difficult to get along with, and I was scared. As a result, after a long time, I found that the mother concubine was actually very good to her daughter-in-law! I'm not afraid of your jokes, I am like this now, if it weren't for the mother concubine's repeated words to support me, there would have been a warbler in this green fence courtyard, God knows what the quarrel would have been!"

After saying this, she regretted it, because although Princess Gaomi was considerate and protective of her eldest daughter-in-law, she was really not good to Sheng Weiqiao, the little daughter-in-law, so she almost wrote the word "disgust" on her face.

Although Sheng Weiqiao is not as good as her in terms of virtue, but this kind of master who is used to being a pearl in his palm, generally speaking, is the most unbearable to be biased by others, but not to her.

Fortunately, Sheng Weiqiao was more reasonable than she estimated, and when she heard this, she didn't have any jealousy or suspicion that she was deliberately showing off, and said with a smile: "This is also because of the sister-in-law's virtuous and filial piety, so that the mother concubine can't help but love you." I heard of your name before I even entered the door. ”

Sheng Weiqiao said these words from the bottom of her heart, she never expected Princess Gaomi to favor her more than the Qi family, because she thought that she couldn't treat Princess Gaomi the same as the Qi family...... Moreover, because Rong Sleeping Crane himself is not very close to Princess Gaomi, Sheng Weiqiao is naturally not very interested in gaining the love of this mother-in-law.

She just wants to get along with her mother-in-law politely, and she is satisfied to maintain mutual respect on the scene...... Anyway, they don't live together.

Qi Shi observed the words and looks, and saw that she was indeed not angry, so he was relieved, and was about to say something, but Sheng Weiqiao asked curiously: "By the way, sister-in-law, what's the matter with the county lord of Deping......? But what does the concubine do and she never kisses? It can't be reluctant to give her, right?"
