The plain curtains in the Chongluan Palace hung down gently, and a few wisps of laurel-scented green smoke were floating out of the cracks in the white porcelain Panlong Boshan furnace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Concubine Chen knelt on a lake-colored folded branch flower miscellaneous treasure pattern Song Jin cushion, holding a string of yellow tourmaline Buddha beads in her hand. With her eyes closed, she recited the scriptures and counted the beads.

When Fuyue walked in, he wanted to call: "Mother!" But when he saw this scene, he was afraid that his mother would be frightened by speaking out rashly, so he chose to keep silent and stand quietly.

After waiting for a while, Concubine Chen finished chanting the sutra and opened her eyes, only to find that her son had been standing behind her for a long time.

"It's cold and the road is slippery, what are you doing here? Just go and bow down to others. Mother, you can save it here, and go straight to the house. Concubine Chen stepped forward and took Fuyue's hand and said.

"The son is not cold, and the mother does not have to worry." Fu Yue stroked Concubine Fuchen's shoulder and said, "I haven't seen my mother for a few days, and it seems that I have lost a lot." But is there anything uncomfortable about your body? ”

Concubine Chen sighed softly and diverted the conversation: "Have you ever eaten?" ”

Fuyue shook his head: "Not yet." ”

Concubine Chen turned her head to An Ji and said, "Prepare a bowl of braised Arhat gluten and bamboo shoot soup with mushrooms." An Ji turned around and walked out.

"I have some vegetarian dishes here, and I'm afraid it won't suit your appetite, so I won't leave you to eat. When you go home, you can use more nourishing good things, deer tendons, and roe deer meat, which will be good for your wounds. Concubine Chen sat on the Luohan bed, holding Fuyue's hand and telling him carefully.

Fu Yue looked at his mother and said a little strangely: "Listening to my mother's words, it seems like I want to drive my son away." The son enters the palace to pay New Year's greetings to his mother, doesn't the mother like it? ”

Concubine Chen reluctantly smiled and said, "My son is so outstanding, how can I not like it when I see it once?" It's just that I've been depressed lately, and I'm silent, you're young, and you've been with me for a long time, and I'm afraid you'll be depressed. ”

"Why bother with the New Year? So let you go back to your house to rest, you should be lively, you should laugh and laugh, and don't be tired of me. ”

Fu Yue looked at her mother deeply, only to feel that she had not seen her for a few days, she seemed to be haggard a lot, even if she held the Buddha beads in her hand and wore a silk robe, she could not suppress the emotions in her heart. The whole person is full of worry, entanglement and anger from the inside out, and he doesn't see through everything at all.

Fu Yue frowned and asked softly, "But is it because my father is always nostalgic for Qiao Palace?" ”

Concubine Chen saw that her son had made her words clear, and suddenly felt that her face was a little unbearable, so she turned her face away: "Speaking of which, it's so boring, it's been so many years, you are so old, and you will still worry about these things in your heart." ”

"The queen and Concubine Min are doing better than me, and they are better than me. How can there be a reason not to enter the harem as a newcomer, besides, we are already so old, and we are declining and loving, who can escape? ”

"That concubine, you have also seen it, she is noble, knowledgeable, and she looks the best in the world, your father is obsessed with her, and he also has a source of affection."

"Has my father ever come to see you in the past month or so?" Fuyue asked in a low voice.

Concubine Chen lowered her eyelids and shook her head: "These days, except for Qiao Palace, Changxin Palace, and Xuande Palace, your father and emperor have never been to other places in the harem. ”

Seeing that her mother was living like a year because she missed her father, she was suffering, and Fuyue also felt a sense of anger for a while. He got up from the Luohan bed with a "huo": "My son will go to Qiao Palace to meet his father, and ask him to put state affairs first, and he must not throw aside the people who have accompanied him for many years because he is greedy for fresh and beautiful women......"

"Never!" Concubine Chen became anxious when she heard this, and quickly grabbed Fuyue and said, "Don't do such a mindless thing." What people have to do now is to follow your father in everything, make him happy, make him like you more, and only then can there be hope for the establishment of the prince in the future. ”

"I ...... Here, you don't have to worry, this kind of thing will come sooner or later. This year is the next year of the concubine, and there will be younger ones coming in the year after tomorrow. If you go to your father for such a thing, will you still have a head? ”

Fu Yue pulled his mother to his side in distress, and said in a low voice: "My son just came over from the queen mother and Concubine Min, and they ...... But I don't care as much as you do. After all, mother, you have too much affection for your father. ”

When Concubine Chen heard this, she fell silent, as if she didn't want to refute or explain. After a while, she said with a gloomy expression: "That concubine, you try to have as little contact as possible, and you don't have to visit her during the New Year." She herself doesn't like these false courtesies. ”

"At this time, she is the person on the tip of your father's heart, and there are few people who are secretly blushing and secretly stumbling, so the farther away you are from her, the better."

Fu Yue snorted from his nose: "If it weren't for the fact that my father valued her, who would pay attention to her." Since the mother spoke, the son really couldn't ask for it, and he didn't want to go to Qiao Palace at all. ”

Concubine Chen saw that his face was full of injustice, so she said patiently: "You don't have to blame your father for this matter. Over the years, although your father has taken care of a few of us, it is mostly due to rational numbers, not deep affection. ”

"From the first day I married your father, I felt that he had a woman in his heart. It's just that for some reason, your father and her can't be together after all, and they can't even mention it. ”

"Actually, your father has lived with us all these years and has not been happy, so he has taken the initiative to ask to be stationed at the border for many years, only visiting his home once a year, and sometimes not coming back for several years......"

"Mother!" Fuyue interrupted Concubine Chen's words, "You are too longing for your father, a manly man, standing up to the sky, since you already have a wife, why bother with the bits and pieces of the past?" It's not that his father can't let it go, it's that he doesn't want to let go. My father made a quick decision in a big matter, but he was like a mother-in-law and mother in a small matter, which is really surprising! ”

Concubine Chen looked at Fuyue a little strangely, and said softly, "There are some things that can't be done by manpower. Some feelings are not something that can be forgotten, if he can choose, he will choose the girl he likes......"

"What to choose not to choose? Since a man has agreed to get married and has a family, he must accept his heart and concentrate on the interests of the family. Every man can do what he wants, instead of making excuses for his distractions! Fuetsu's voice was unusually calm.

Concubine Chen didn't expect him to say such a thing, she was stunned for a moment, and then said meaningfully: "You are still young, you can't talk so full." I hope that you will be able to get what you want in the future, marry the woman you like, and never have to experience the helplessness between me and your father for the rest of your life. ”

Fuyue said confidently: "Mother rest assured, that's nature!" If it weren't for the woman I liked, I would never have married home! ”
