1155 Old Days

"It's not just hate, it's not an exaggeration to say it's hate." Nangong Ling added.

"My mother's marriage to my father's emperor, I believe you have heard more or less, at that time, my father was just a concubine prince, and the position of the biological mother was low, and there were more than 20 princes of all sizes in the first emperor, some of whom were long and had descendants, like my father, who couldn't rank anything at all."

"But my mother just liked him, not only did she like him, but she also liked it without hesitation, and even threatened my grandfather with her life and asked my grandfather to marry her to my father."

"My maternal grandfather was a powerful man at that time, and he controlled half of the army in the DPRK and China, and several of my uncles also served in the army and had a lot of seniority. My grandfather has a lot of sons, but only my mother is such a daughter, or an old woman, and my youngest uncle is also seven years old, the whole family holds her like a baby, it is not an exaggeration to say, my uncles are afraid that none of them treat my mother as a sister, it is estimated that they are all spoiled as daughters. ”

"At that time, the battle for the crown was the most intense, and the wisest thing for my grandfather's family was to not help anyone, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, anyway, my grandfather's family was full of tiger generals, no matter who got the big position, they all had to be reused. I don't know how many princes wanted to marry my mother in order to get the support of my grandfather's family, but my grandfather refused, and he absolutely opposed my mother marrying any prince. However, it is so helpless, my mother has seen so many young talents, but she has a deep love for my father and the emperor. ”

Nangong Ling said very helplessly, but Ruan Yanluo understood a little, and he couldn't help it. And from the time Master Ruan occasionally told her about the past, she also knew that before Emperor Sheng An became emperor, he was actually a very good person, humble and polite, upright and upright, and ambitious. Such people are indeed the most attractive to girls, especially those who are knowledgeable and have ideas.

"Because my grandfather did not allow, my mother had a hunger strike, she was really on a hunger strike, and she was dying in a few days, even if my grandfather endured it, my uncles grew up with my mother as a treasure, where to see the young sister like this, plus at that time my father's reputation was really good, and your father was planning, and did a few beautiful things, my uncles had a good impression of him, and then my grandfather thought about it, they did not participate in the struggle for the crown prince, the new emperor ascended the throne, although they had to reuse them for the sake of military power, but at most one or two generations, will inevitably slowly take over the military power in their hands, and they will also be weaker, rather than this, it is better to gamble, and also fulfill one of their daughter's wishes. ”

Smiling slightly, Nangong Ling said: "My mother married my father who was still a prince at the time, and my grandfather's family also showed their banner and stood behind my father. ”

Ruan Yanluo knew that there were twists and turns between the queen marrying the emperor back then, but she didn't expect it to be like this, she didn't feel anything out of political considerations, but she just felt that it was full of family affection. A father and several elder brothers, for the sake of their younger sister's marriage, were even willing to give up the force field and get involved in such a dangerous matter, and this alone made her feel moved.

No wonder Nangong Ling is so affectionate, it turned out to be with his mother's family.

Nangong Ling continued: "Before the queen mother married, my father had two intercourse, one gave birth to the imperial sister and died, and the other gave birth to a concubine, that is, the second brother. It is very rude for a wife to have children before she enters, but my mother knows that my father probably deliberately made this gesture so that other princes could relax their vigilance against him, so he didn't care, and took great care of the imperial sister and second brother, and when my father ascended the throne, he immediately sealed the second brother's mother. ”

"After the queen mother married, and my father did have a period of harmony and beauty, and I also had me, and then my father in order to win over and balance the forces of the family, and successively accepted a few side concubines and concubines, although my mother was sad, but knew what my father was thinking about, so they all endured it silently, and also governed the backyard very smoothly. In those years, my father was able to concentrate on his great affairs outside, and I can say without exaggeration that my mother has contributed a lot. ”

"She knew from the time she married my father that my father could not be her alone, and when she became the emperor, she naturally had three palaces and six courts, so she planned to accept it from the beginning, she only hoped that she was the most special, the most trustworthy, and the most affectionate in my father's heart, as long as this was enough."

"It could have been like this, but it's a pity that ......" Nangong Ling's voice suddenly became low, and he paused for a while before slowly saying, "It's a pity that your mother appeared." ”

"Your mother was met when my father began to lead the army, almost as soon as I saw your mother, my father was completely attracted to her, and because your mother has a hearty personality and can lead soldiers, she is not a woman in the house like my mother at all, my father thinks that only your mother understands him and has a common language. He began to unconsciously mention your mother in front of the queen mother, and every time he said it, he carried a flying look and undisguised praise. ”

Nangong Ling's hand tightened: "Xiaoyu, you don't know, in those days, I watched my mother so sad that she seemed to cry at any time, but she listened to my father talk about your mother with a smile." ”

"Later, your mother and your father got married, and the queen mother breathed a sigh of relief, and at that time, the seizure of the prince also reached the most critical juncture, and the father had no chance to think about these children's affections.

"The queen mother thought that the hardships were sweet, but I didn't expect that almost all the concubines in my father's palace had the shadow of your mother, and the queen mother finally couldn't help it, and told my father that she had quarreled, but in the end, she only got my father's angry reprimand, and she didn't enter the mother's harem for several months."

The queen mother finally despaired, so she went to the extreme, and when her father sent troops to Southern Chu, she launched a palace change. You know what happened next, and my father rushed back in time. Later, I thought carefully about the incident, in fact, if my mother had tried her best at that time, my father would not have had time to rush back, but she didn't, and in that palace change, she didn't use the slightest power of my grandfather's family at all. My grandfather, my uncles, none of them knew about her plan, maybe she didn't want her grandfather's family to be involved, but I think it was because she didn't want to really ruin my father. ”
