Chapter 209: Concubine Qian
When Rong Xi followed Leng Yixiu to the outside of Concubine Qian's palace, he couldn't help but smile slightly bitterly.
On the way here, Leng Yixiu told Rong Xi about himself and Concubine Qian in the carriage, Rong Xi was silent for a long time, and his heart was full of sourness...... How many ordinary people don't know the unbearable sadness?
At that time, Rong Xi had already roughly guessed the location of Concubine Qian's palace, and when she stood outside her palace gate, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Remembering that day, the Seventh Princess was here to frame herself and Dacreel and want to destroy her innocence, she turned her head, met Leng Yixiu's gaze, and said to him: "It's better not to sue the concubine." ”
Leng Yixiu shook her hand gently, the heat of the palm of his hand was like fire, and it was like the gratitude in his heart, the mother concubine had a slight cleanliness habit, if she knew...... Even if the things are cleaned up carefully, she will have a mustard, it is impossible for her to move the palace, she will not agree, won't there always be a knot in her heart when the time comes?
So, aless, it's the best choice.
Presumably, the seventh princess herself would not be stupid enough to reveal the scars of this matter.
The sandalwood in the hall is curling, the taste is elegant, and the mood of the people is inexplicably quiet, the sky is high, and the six are clear, as if those impetuousness are gone away in an instant, and the body and mind are at ease.
Rong Xi took a deep breath, and a little palace maid inside walked out lightly, and said to the two: "Lord Wang, princess, please wait here for a while, and the slave maid will go in to report." ”
Before the words fell, I only heard the voice of a woman inside and said, "But the king of Chu is here?" Let him in. ”
Her voice is like a bead, gently falling into the water, the sound of a knock, but gentle and mellow, not as crisp and compelling as falling into the jade plate, this is the calmness and tranquility that only people with a certain experience and a heart like stopping water will have.
It's just that her tone is full of joy and expectation.
The little palace maid said respectfully: "Please come with the slave maid." ”
The layers of palace curtains hung down to the ground, soft like clouds, and with the wind blowing in from the window, it gently fluttered, making a slight sound, and the sound was in the ears.
A vague figure, holding the lit incense in the incense burner, and bowed three times in front of the Buddha statue, with a pious posture.
Seeing Leng Yixiu come in, the woman turned around, she was wearing a robe with white plain dark patterns, her hair was simply tied behind her head, and only a jade hairpin was inserted, without gorgeous decorations, but it was elegant and chic.
She has a plain face, but her eyebrows are delicate and picturesque, her dark eyebrows are like a brush, her eyes are full of joy, shining with crystal light, she looks at Leng Yixiu, as if that is the source of her life.
Rong Xi muttered in her heart, this ancient woman gave birth to children relatively early and looked so young, or is it because she has little desire and no desire, so she looks younger?
"Erchen has seen Concubine Qian." Leng Yixiu gave a salute to Concubine Qian.
"Quick, get up." Concubine Qian had a smile on her face, but a faint tide welled up in her eyes, and she saw Rong Xi beside Leng Yixiu in a blink of an eye, and her eyes were slightly surprised.
Rong Xi hurriedly followed Shi Li and said, "Rong Xi has seen Concubine Qian. ”
"Hurry up, hurry up." Although Concubine Qian was puzzled in her heart, she also knew that the person who could bring Leng Yixiu with her must not be an ordinary person, she hurriedly called up, and said to Leng Yixiu with a smile: "This is ......"
Leng Yixiu waved his hand, the rest of the people in the hall retreated, the palace door closed gently, Leng Yixiu took a step forward and said, "Mother, you have been gone for so long, is it okay?" How are you doing? ”
"Okay, very good, the concubine knows that you are filial," Concubine Qian smiled and nodded, her face was unstoppable.
"She's ...... Son's princess," Leng Yixiu turned his head and took Rong Xi's hand, "Mother, my son has found you the best daughter-in-law in the world." ”
"Oh?" Concubine Qian couldn't help but laugh softly when she heard Leng Yixiu say this, she looked at Rong Xi carefully, and saw that Rong Xi was outstanding, and what was even more rare was that her bearing was superb, and she was full of grace, although she did not have all the grace of ordinary women, but she was heroic, and her eyebrows flowed, and she had a style of looking down on the world.
Concubine Qian nodded secretly in praise, then took Rong Xi's hand and said, "Such a good girl, no wonder Xiu'er likes it so much, and the mother concubine also likes it tightly." ”
As she spoke, she withdrew a string of ruddy wooden beads from her hand, the beads were ruddy and shiny, and there were six-character mantras engraved on them, full of them and uniform in size, and she took them off and put them on Rong Xi's hand.
Rong Xi hurriedly turned his head to look at Leng Yixiu, and asked him what he meant with his eyes, Leng Yixiu just smiled and nodded at her.
"Although this bracelet is not a precious thing, but it has followed me for many years, and this time I went to Wutai Mountain to open the light of Master Shiqing, and I will give it to you today as a gift, I hope it can bless you safely." Concubine Qian looked at Rong Xi's hand, "It's really beautiful." ”
Rong Xi smiled and bowed, "Thank you, concubine." ”
"Sit down...... Talk to the concubine, "Concubine Qian took one of them with one hand, sat down on the stool, looked at the two of them, and always felt that how to look at how they matched, whether it was from appearance or bearing, they were all good at one top, "The concubine is in Wutai Mountain, and she didn't catch up with your wedding, presumably ...... It was very lively, right? ”
Leng Yixiu's heart was slightly sour, and he said with relief: "Mother, although you are not by your son's side, your son's son often misses you, although you didn't catch up with the wedding, but ...... There's one more important thing that you'll be able to catch up with. ”
"What is it?" Concubine Qian was interested, and her eyes lit up.
"Rong Xi is pregnant, it's been five months," Leng Yixiu's eyes glowed with the warmth of the sun, and the smile on his face was deep, which was joy from the heart, "When the child is born, you will definitely be able to see it, and you can be the imperial grandmother." ”
"Really?" Concubine Qian's voice trembled slightly, her eyebrows raised, the light in her eyes shone, and the ruddy luster on her plain face, "Xiu'er, do you mean it really?" ”
"Of course," Leng Yixiu looked at her happy appearance, and his heart was extremely sweet, "Mother, how dare your sons use this matter to joke with you?" ”
"Yes, that's great!" The corners of Concubine Qian's eyes shone with a crystal light, she hurriedly pressed it with a handkerchief, and sobbed: "Look at me, I am all happy and confused, this is a happy event, and I can't help crying." ”
Rong Xi lowered her gaze, covering the gloomy look under her eyes, she had never experienced what it was like to have a family and a mother, and remembered in her heart that if she hadn't crossed over here, she would still be alone, maybe she wouldn't have met a lover like Leng Yixiu, and she didn't know when she would have her own child, let alone someone holding her hand and crying with joy because she was pregnant.
She is very grateful that this one-in-a-million opportunity allowed her to come alone, but she gained a home, a husband, children, and ...... Mother.
She slowly raised her head, held Concubine Qian's hand with her backhand, and spoke very quickly, but sincerely, "Mother, when the child is born, Xiu and I will definitely see you all year round, and our family will be together well, so that you can enjoy the joy of family." ”
Concubine Qian was slightly stunned, but the crystals in the corners of her eyes became more turbulent, slowly dripping from her eyes, and falling hot on Rong Xi's hands, like a blooming crystal flower.
"Good boy ......"
Leng Yixiu also looked at Rong Xi, she rarely has such a sincere expression of affection, she is more accustomed to burying emotions in her heart, you need to feel and experience with your heart, and at this moment, her eyes are as clear as water, with warm heat, every word is infiltrated by emotion from the bottom of her heart, which is deeply moving.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, a smile on the corner of his mouth, thinking about the scene described by Rong Xi, and the joy in his heart flowed crisply and happily like a spring water melting in spring.
Concubine Qian wiped her tears and smiled a little embarrassedly, "I'm crazy with joy, by the way, have you prepared all the things you will need after the child is born?" Is that okay? Small clothes and shoes need to be prepared all year round, as well as those small quilts, the mother must make a few by herself. ”
Leng Yixiu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Mother, you really have to worry about this matter, Rong Xi is good at everything, it's just this female red......"
Before he finished speaking, he was swept back by Rong Xi's eyes, and she smiled: "Mother, daughter-in-law...... Not very good at that, my mother...... It's gone, there's no one to help, and I'm not at ease with those girls, so I really have to rely on my mother. ”
"Poor child," Concubine Qian said, stroking Rong Xi's hand, her tone was full of distress, in fact, she also understood in her heart that these things are the same for whoever does them, and Wei Guifei has to let people prepare, the reason why Rong Xi said this is just to make herself happy and have something to do to pass the time.
"Your mother ......," Concubine Qian sighed, "I will come to my mother more often in the future." ”
Rong Xi nodded and said, "Mother went early, and the daughter-in-law only heard her father talk about it, and if there is anything in the future, she will inevitably trouble her mother." ”
"Look at me, I've been talking for a long time, and I don't know if your maiden family is ......"
"Mother," Leng Yixiu took over and said, "Rong Xi is the eldest daughter of General Rong, and she is General Rong Haorong, who has made great achievements for me. ”
What both Leng Yixiu and Rong Xi didn't expect was that when Concubine Qian heard Leng Yixiu's words, her whole person suddenly froze, and her hand suddenly let go of Rong Xi's hand, and the unbelievable light in her eyes flashed and fell on Rong Xi's face again.
She just looked at it, without saying a word, her face turned white inch by inch, and her eyes were surging, suspicious, amazed, painful, bitter...... It seemed to be tightly entangled, gushing out of her eyes, tightly wrapping around Rong Xi's body.
The doubts in Rong Xi's heart suddenly appeared, this kind of look was too abnormal, so she had to be a little vigilant.
