The saying that Ma Quan and Queen Ma of Guanglu Temple are distant relatives, and that his daughter's life is extremely expensive has of course also reached the ears of Concubine Lu of the East Palace.

The daughter of the civil official family is extremely outstanding in appearance and talent, and she is in the prince's favor, and she is also close to Queen Ma...... Queen Ma also summoned Ma's and reported that Queen Ma heard that she liked Ma very much and asked her to enter the palace often to talk with her.

When Concubine Lu heard these news, she was more and more annoyed, and she couldn't hide the anxiety in her eyes, she looked at herself in the mirror, she was still beautiful in the mirror, with the unique charm of a middle-aged woman, but no amount of fat powder could adjust the appearance of youth.

And Mars ...... Thinking of the glimpse of the imperial garden, Concubine Lu became even more jealous, extremely irritable, and stroked the mirror, jewelry, and rouge gouache on the dresser to the ground.

Zhu Yunwen came in with a soup cup, ignored the mess on the ground, and said warmly: "Mother, I asked the imperial kitchen to stew Sydney bird's nest soup, which is the most noise-reducing and fire-free." ”

After the henchman and grandmother around last year arranged to be scalded alive by her own son with boiling water as a warning, Concubine Lu was faintly afraid of this precocious eldest son.

Undoubtedly, Zhu Yunwen is her pride, but after Concubine Lu found out about her son's gentle and rebellious side, she felt scared again, because she was difficult to control such a son.

Both mother and son are good at acting, although there has begun to be an emotional estrangement, but on the surface, the two are more motherly and filial than before.

Zhu Yunwen held the soup cup in both hands and handed it to his mother, "This soup is stewed in the imperial dining room, but the bird's nest in it was cleaned up by my son yesterday with small tweezers to pick out the miscellaneous hairs in it one by one, you can taste it." ”

Concubine Lu took the soup cup and put it aside, "Since you picked it yourself, it's naturally all good, I'll drink it when it's cold." ”

Zhu Yunwen opened the lid of the soup cup and gently blew the hot air on it, "My son put it outside to cool off, it's not hot or cold now, it's just right." ”

Concubine Lu was really in no mood to eat bird's nest, "Yunwen, my mother doesn't want to eat it now." ”

Zhu Yunwen said considerately: "Mother doesn't like to eat blood swallows? Well, tonight my son picked up a white bird's nest overnight. ”

"Enough! You're not done! Concubine Lu was furious and stretched out her hand to drop the soup cup, Zhu Yunwen dodged it with agility, and the smile on her face did not change at all, "Mother don't be angry, anger attacks the heart, the autumn weather is easy to hurt the lungs, the heart and lungs are damaged, and the son will be distressed." ”

"You-" Concubine Lu was speechless by the anger of her eldest son. Zhu Yunwen didn't think it was enough, and handed over the soup cup with both hands again, "Mother has been very angry recently, the doctor said, Sydney bird's nest soup is a good thing to reduce irritability, don't you really plan to use some?" ”

Concubine Lu knew that if she didn't go along with her son's wishes today, the white bird's nest would be sent over tomorrow.

Concubine Lu took the soup cup and ate it in three or two bites like a medicine, "Are you satisfied now?" Let's go, I want to be quiet. ”

Zhu Yunwen sat down gracefully, "Some things, just like this bowl of Sydney bird's nest soup, will always come, it doesn't work if you are in a hurry, you think you can sleep without worrying if you get rid of your aunt?" Mother, you are thinking too simply. ”

At the mention of Chang Jin, Concubine Lu thought of the hot mamma, and couldn't help but shudder, "I have sworn that I will not touch Chang Jin's girl again, why are you aggressive...... I am your mother! Not an enemy! Why are you laughing at me! ”

Zhu Yunwen smiled with a bit of sarcasm, "It's good to teach my mother to know that your impulsive and stupid calculations in the past were a bamboo basket for nothing, so don't use this idea again in the future." Grandpa and Grandma have never meant to straighten you, they will always choose. Ma Quan seems to have no intention of chasing fame and fortune, and does not take the initiative to recognize his relatives with the emperor's grandmother, but in fact, he is shrewd in his heart, and he wants to capture and indulge in this set of tricks that we have long been tired of. ”

A murderous intent burst out of Concubine Lu's eyes, "No intention of fame and fortune? Hehe, then what kind of jinshi did he take? What kind of officer? Why don't you be a squire and celebrity in the countryside of Fengyang for a lifetime? Why can't the emperor and queen see the face of Ma Quan, a shameless villain! ”

Zhu Yunwen said: "Ma Quan is from Fengyang, and he is a fellow countryman with the emperor's grandfather, and he is a rumored relative to the emperor's grandmother. The imperial grandfather has always wanted to treat the imperial grandmother's relatives preferentially, Ma Quan happened to appear, he is an extremely eye-catching person, not cheeky to the imperial grandmother, in short, not annoying, the imperial grandfather praised Ma Quan even more for being a safe person, as for the Ma family, the imperial grandfather has always respected the imperial grandmother, and it is estimated that he has some love for the house and Wu. ”

Concubine Lu sneered: "Is there going to be a second Queen Ma?" Two generations of queens are out of one family, what a joke. ”

"The Ma family has already withered, and if there is another Queen Ma, there will be no worries about relatives." Zhu Yunwen said: "But to be honest, my son really doesn't want to have an extra mother-in-law, but halfway to bite the gold, we can't mess up first, my mother is too anxious these days." ”

Concubine Lu asked eagerly: "Confused by the mother's authorities, Yun Wei, you are the smartest, do you have a way to deal with the Ma family and that little slut?" ”

Zhu Yunwen sneered: "Where did my mother's skill and courage go when she dealt with her aunt?" Draw a scoop according to the gourd to deal with Ma's. ”

"Don't talk about that again!" Concubine Lu said in a low voice: "We have been secretly arranging in the Chang family for many years, and we have enough eyes and ears, but the Ma family is different, Ma Quan is cunning and careful, prudent in governing the family, not leaking, like a hedgehog, we have nowhere to talk." ”

"Is that really that powerful?" Zhu Yunwen pondered for a moment, and asked himself: "That's right, Ma Quan has already laid eyeliner in Longxing Temple, specifically blocking Yuan Heng, the first minister of the Ming Dynasty, to tell the fortune of his daughter, which shows that Ma Quan's mind is deep and the layout is strict, it is estimated that they have long been on guard, mother, we can't make rash moves at this time, otherwise we will be caught by Ma Quan." ”

"In addition, please ask my mother to write a secret letter to tell my grandfather that they should sort out the housekeepers in the family, especially the people who have entered the house in the past two years, and inquire about the origins of the people who have entered the house in the past two years.

Concubine Lu has always been the only one who calculates others, but she didn't expect her son to extinguish her own prestige first, grow the ambition of others, and warn Ma Quan to take action.

Concubine Lu said: "It's too much of a fuss, right? We really can't do anything? ”

Zhu Yunwen said: "Be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years, my mother has been so smooth these years that I often forget this sentence." In fact, for our current position, not making mistakes is the biggest offense. ”

Concubine Lu was unwilling, "Do you just look at the love of the Ma family and the emperor?" ”

Zhu Yunwen bent down to pick up the gold-inlaid Bao Danfeng dotted cuibu hairpin scattered on the ground, carefully blew off the rouge spilled on the hairpin, and inserted it on his mother's bun, "This hairpin was given by my father." Mother, your father is your lifelong reliance, you grab your father's heart, do a good job of solid pet, it is much better than guarding against what Ma Zhou's is. ”

Concubine Lu hesitated: "But your father can't decide whether he will continue or not, and even who to marry is not up to him." ”

Zhu Yunwen continued to bow his head to clean up the mess for his mother, picking up the jewelry one by one, "At this point, the only thing you can control is your father." Mother, don't let your son down. ”

The eldest son's words were unpleasant, but they all made sense. It's just that Concubine Lu half-squatted down, grabbed her son's hand to pick up jewelry, and said sincerely: "Yun Wei, can you not talk to your mother like this in the future?" That time was my mother in a hurry, and she did something wrong, so she should have discussed it with you in advance. There is no overnight feud between mother and son, you forgive your mother this time, and your mother promises that it will not be like this again in the future. ”

Zhu Yunwen looked directly into Concubine Lu's eyes, "It's only three things, and my mother has already done it twice, my son doesn't dare to think that if there is a third time, my mother will hide something from me." The first time you let a tiger bite Chang Hibiscus and his younger brother, I was hit by the pond fish and almost died in the belly of the tiger. The second time you used the next tactic to ruin your aunt's innocence, fortunately I arrived in time, otherwise...... You don't know Auntie, such a woman will never be humiliated and commit suicide, she has the love for aquatic life in her heart, and the entrustment of the crown princess, even if she is full of holes, she will survive strongly, and even find an opportunity to fight back and take revenge. ”

Concubine Lu held her son's hand tightly, "Yes, my mother made a mistake twice, my mother knew her mistake and regretted it, Yun Wei, you forgive your mother, your mother will never hide it from you again." ”

Zhu Yunwen said lightly: "You often teach your son the way to recognize people, don't easily give people a second chance to make mistakes." It's just that people make mistakes, and some people can be forgiven, but the premise of forgiving her is to see what she has been doing, not to listen to what she says. Speaking is too simple, touching the upper and lower mouths, at most adding some singing practice to coax people, what is really difficult is to do it. Mother, if you really repent, then do it for your son, okay? ”

Concubine Lu finally managed to get through until her son relented, and hurriedly said, "Okay! Mother is all for you, as long as you are good, mother will be good! ”

"Very well, that son will wait and see." Zhu Yunwen kindly helped her mother to stand up, and Concubine Lu realized that her son had recently run away, and he was already a little taller than herself, and she needed to look up to see her son's eyes.

Her son's eyes were so bright and bright when he was a child, she only had to look at her son's eyes to know what she needed, pee, hungry, tired, scared, wanted to play with him, etc., at that time she felt that the tangible umbilical cord connected to her son had already been cut, but the invisible umbilical cord was always there, and there was no obstacle to communication between mother and son.

But now, Concubine Lu can't understand her son's eyes. Her son seemed to have forgiven herself, but the calm, almost indifferent scrutiny behind her made her shudder.

The eldest son was too much like her, and she was afraid. Because she knows very well what kind of person she is, she can't control her eldest son with affection, and she must use interests to consolidate the mother-son relationship. 166 Reading Network
