Chapter Twenty-Nine: Let Ping'er get out of the palace
The Queen Mother's first sentence to the concubine was to point at Xiao Ping and ask, "This is the fifth prince born to the concubine I haven't seen, right?" ”
The concubine's originally high-spirited face was instantly defeated, and she hurriedly lowered her head and glanced at Xiao Ping. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Xiao Ping sighed in his heart, it was finally time for a showdown with the concubine, other concubines said in his ear that he was not the concubine's own son, and he could still pretend to be crazy and stupid and not believe it, but the queen mother said it, or said it in front of many people in Emperor Qingping, no one has denied it, and he pretended to be crazy and stupid and didn't believe it, it would be too fake.
So as soon as the Queen Mother's voice fell, when the concubine looked at him, Xiao Ping timidly threw herself into the concubine's arms, covered her face with the concubine's body, lowered her head, and actually felt very calm in her heart, because she had expected that there would be this day.
Seeing his reaction, the concubine was relieved, thinking, the fifth prince is still close to me, otherwise how could he watch a stranger pointing at him and pounce on me?
The concubine cheered up and smiled reluctantly, "This child is a little shy and shy, the Queen Mother forgive me." ”
The Queen Mother looked at the concubine reproachfully, "Concubine Li's child, you have treated him like your own for seven years, it should have been said that it was not easy to work hard, but as a royal descendant, the five princes were raised by you to cower, it is really not like words, this is too much, do you say, queen?" ”
The queen sitting at the bottom was naturally happy to see the concubine's jokes, "Yes, what the queen mother said." ”
"Concubine Li's child, treat her like a parent" These eight words pierced deeply into the softest heart of the concubine, she really wanted to roar at the Queen Mother, pulling the Queen Mother's hair like a shrew, slapping her thousands of times, and cursing loudly, "If it weren't for you, I would have been in the palace for seventeen years, and I have never been pregnant?" If it weren't for you, I would have robbed the five princes by any means? If it weren't for you, I had my own children, how could Concubine Wan enter the palace, and how could my Zhaoyang Palace be as cold as a cold palace for four years? You goddamn old goddamn a thousand times. ”
It's a pity, no, the concubine suppressed the anger that surged into her heart, and her head that was dizzy with anger was also sober, she replied to the queen mother with a smile, "Your Majesty trusts, Concubine Li also entrusted the five princes to me before she died, and if you don't love it carelessly, I'm afraid that Concubine Li's sister will not feel at ease underground, so I doted on the five princes, and raised them a little squeamish, but I am also the queen mother's own grandson, presumably the queen mother will not dislike the five princes, right?" ”
The Queen Mother glanced at the concubine with disdain, "Of course my own grandson will not dislike it, but it's just a vernacular." ”
But after the Queen Mother finished speaking, none of the palace concubines agreed, and none of them answered, and the Shoukang Palace, which had so many people, was deserted for a while.
Seeing that something was wrong, the queen stretched out her hand and pulled the prince standing behind her to the queen mother, "Queen Mother, you see, he was still an ignorant little doll when you left, and when you return to the palace, the prince has also reached the age of marriage." ”
"The grandson has seen the Queen Mother."
The prince bowed and saluted, and the queen mother hurriedly helped him up, and immediately softened the original expressionless face of the concubine, she patted the prince's hand happily, looked carefully, and saw that the prince was steady and mature, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"I didn't expect that the little doll that was by my side back then was already so big, hurry up and get married, and bring me a fat doll next year."
The prince cautiously glanced at Emperor Qingping, who had been sitting there without saying a word, Emperor Qingping was expressionless, without the joy of the Queen Mother's return to the palace, he was like a bystander, watching everyone take turns on the stage as if acting.
The crown prince couldn't see anything, so he was naturally more careful," the queen mother said with a smile. ”
The Queen Mother smiled and patted the prince's hand again, let go of the prince, and rubbed her chest, "I'm used to being clean in the temple, and suddenly I saw so many people, I was very panicked, and the emperor let them all disperse. ”
Emperor Qingping nodded quietly, and said in a deep voice to the concubines and princesses below, "It's all gone." ”
There was no chirping of the warbler and the swallow, and the concubines came and left silently.
The four concubines of Concubine Su and Concubine Rou and Concubine Shu walked in front, Xiao Ping and Xiao Shan naturally followed behind Concubine Su and Concubine Su, and then there were six concubines and several princesses who were not looked at by the Queen Mother from beginning to end.
"My sister left first, this Shoukang Palace is too stuffy, my sister is almost out of breath."
Concubine Shu took the lead in laughing, and then left by herself under the left and right of the palace maids and eunuchs.
Concubine Su and Concubine Rou glanced at each other, and they all nodded slowly, quite tacitly.
"Everyone, let's disperse, and the main palace will leave first."
The concubine took Xiao Ping's hand and walked away step by step.
Wen Qing, who originally wanted to come to him behind him, was pulled by the concubine, and he didn't know what to say, but Wen Qing stayed where he was with a bitter face.
Qianyang Palace, study.
Emperor Qingping lost his temper and threw a thick letter to the guards kneeling below, and he said angrily, "Didn't you say that the Queen Mother's anger has disappeared and is peaceful?" ”
The guards knelt down and kowtowed like pounding garlic, "Your Majesty, your majesty sent the minister to escort the queen mother to the temple ten years ago, and at the same time presented the queen mother's monthly situation to your majesty. ”
"Then why did you meet the Queen Mother for the first time in the harem today, and the Queen Mother still looks like that?" Emperor Qingping frowned and asked.
"I don't know."
The guard slammed down, his head touching the ground, and bright red blood flowed from his forehead, but he didn't dare to lift it.
"Ugh."
Emperor Qingping waved his hand and motioned for the guards to go down. The guard got up cautiously, bowed respectfully, and did not dare to raise his head, so he withdrew.
Emperor Qingping sat in front of the desk, crossed his hands, his eyes were empty, and muttered to himself, "My queen mother, what are you going to do when you come back to the palace?" Originally, looking at the mother and son, you changed it again, I am still willing to take you back to the palace, and I am happy to have you come back, but you are really disappointed. ”
Emperor Qingping hooked his lips slightly, as if smiling, "Since you returned to the palace with a different purpose, then let me see, without my protection and intervention, can you, the queen mother, sleep in peace?" ”
"After all, the concubines and concubines are not fuel-efficient lamps, and the queen also has her own thoughts, so let me have a good understanding of the means of the queen mother who has the last laugh."
In Zhaoyang Palace, in the concubine's bedroom, only Xiao Ping and the concubine sat opposite each other, with a small table in the middle, no one was waiting beside them, and Aunt Lan Mapei Ping'er was not there.
After being silent for a long time, the concubine spoke first, "Tell me, did you already know the truth of the matter?" ”
Xiao Ping nodded silently, no longer pretending to be ignorant like before, let alone opening his eyes ignorant and innocent, he was so calm in front of the concubine for the first time, so calm not like a seven-year-old child.
The concubine was unusually calm, and continued to ask him, "Since you already knew, do you resent me and hate me?" ”
"What? Hate what? Xiao Ping chuckled, "Isn't it your credit that my mother, Concubine Li, was able to carry me to give birth so smoothly, instead of having a miscarriage like other concubines?" Mother Concubine Li was able to give birth to me smoothly, instead of a bloody mother and a child, you are also protecting, right? Otherwise, the power and manpower that my mother Concubine Li has had in the palace for three years is not enough to see. ”
The concubine acquiesced, Xiao Ping continued, "When I was three years old, someone said this in my ear, not Aunt Pei, it was someone from other concubines, at first I was angry, angry at other people's nonsense, and then I was very sad, because more and more people told me that I am not your son, I am sad why I am not your son, but there is no resentment. ”
The concubine burst into tears and smiled with relief, "But I poisoned your mother, this is a fact, shouldn't you hate me?" ”
Xiao Ping stared at the concubine and said word by word, "I have no right to resent you, because in this palace, it was you who made me live until now, without you, I would have become loess, how can I have any chance to say anything resentful?" ”
The concubine lay on the table and cried bitterly, crying for the fact that all the years of work had not been in vain, and also cried for all the hardships she had suffered, and even more for the grievances and humiliations she had suffered.
Xiao Ping didn't persuade her, he looked at the crying concubine, and his heart was sour, this woman is not easy, but who is easy in the deep palace?
She cried so loudly that the three of them heard the voice, and the three of them looked at each other, although they were all anxious, they didn't know what was going on inside, which made the concubine cry so much, but the masters didn't tell them, and they didn't dare to break in, so they could only wait silently and anxiously.
After the concubine gradually stopped crying, sobbed quietly, and calmed down, Xiao Ping spoke, "Mother, the screen is too big, it's time to release it from the palace." ”
The concubine didn't have time to wipe away her tears, so she froze, "Ping'er was arranged by my side, you want to let her out of the palace, you don't believe me?" ”
Xiao Ping shook his head lightly and said with a smile, "If the child doesn't believe you, how can he confess to you like this today, but when the child is older, Ping'er should also go out of the palace. ”
The concubine breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but when she thought of what Ping'er said in her dream, she couldn't help but smile and spit, "This dead girl, so shameless." ”
"So, mother, it's time for Ping'er to leave the palace."
Xiao Ping said sincerely, the concubine thought about it and nodded.
Xiao Ping couldn't help laughing, in fact, letting Ping'er out of the palace is not only because Ping'er is old, but also because he is also older, and there are more and more things to plan in the future, Ping'er, the informant of the concubine who obviously came from the Murong family, naturally can't keep it anymore, even if the concubine won't harm him, but the Murong family He is not at ease, who knows if Ping'er is the nail left by the Murong family by the concubine, even if it is Mama Lan, Xiao Ping also feels untrustworthy.
When the two mothers and sons came out, they were still affectionate, and when the words were spoken, the concubine who had untied the knot was comfortable at this time, and after that, whether the two mothers and sons were estranged because they were not biological, then God knows.
