Chapter Twenty-Three: Ruthless and Passionate

After a long time, Xiaoyu was a little worried, but she heard Cardamom - at this time she should be called Lin Zitang, that carefree and innocent Cardamom retreated into a shell called Zitang - Zitang asked softly, "How long has it been?" ”

"Ten days. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Needless to say, Xiaoyu also knew that Zitang was asking how long the emperor hadn't come.

"Yes, it's been ten days, but it seems like ten years long."

Another silent sigh.

"Miss!"

Xiaoyu didn't know how to comfort her for a while. She was also full of doubts and dissatisfaction.

After all, the top and bottom of Kun'an Palace have become accustomed to coming to Kun'an Palace every day after the emperor has dealt with politics and spending all his leisure time, and even such "leisure" time seems to have a tendency to get longer and longer.

No one understands why the emperor, who was in desperate need of an heir, stopped coming after his favorite concubine became pregnant.

"This is the palace, isn't it?"

She did not forget the cruelty of the palace and the ruthlessness of the emperor, she was just spoiled by him, lost her nature, like a small animal who had just arrived in a strange place, always attached to the first person who showed kindness to her. She thought indignantly.

However, is that really all there is to it? What is lost, can the lost be recovered?

Zitang finally turned around, but Xiao Yu saw her helpless smile and wanted to comfort her, she shook her head at Xiao Yu and waved her hand to let her leave.

Xiao Yu didn't dare to say anything more, so she had to retreat quietly.

At noon, Mrs. Lin, Lin Ziyue's second wife, Jiang entered the palace to ask for a meeting.

After all the red tape, everyone sat down as guests, but the second lady did not have the slightest affection and emotion after the reunion of mother and daughter after a long absence. Zitang looked at the second lady who was sitting upright and observing the courtesy of the monarch and minister, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart:

"Mother."

Perhaps it was this mother voice that awakened the second lady's domineering motherhood in the past, she raised her eyes and glanced at her daughter, who was a little more charming, and spoke in a tense tone:

"Don't dare to be it, it's better to call it as usual."

"Second lady."

"Concubine Niangniang."

"How is home?"

"It's all good, Lao Niangniang is worried."

"You ......"

At this time, in the court, only Xiaoyu served on the side, and everyone else had retreated, and no outsiders dared to disturb the concubine Niangniang and her mother to catch up. But the second lady is so serious and a noble concubine, her tone is distant and cold, how to say the rest of the homely words?

Zitang has some air knots. In front of her own mother, she felt powerless again.

"I heard that the mother refuses to take the medicine?"

The second lady changed her words, and her tone returned to her former majesty in a blink of an eye.

Zitang turned his head and glanced at Xiaoyu, but the other party opened his eyes wide and shook his head, indicating that he had not told the truth. Since there was no evidence, she simply denied it.

"Not ever."

"There is no best." The second lady's tone was obviously very unbelieving, "You have a different identity now, you have entered the palace and become a royal person, you must abide by the rules of the royal family, and you can't be as willful and reckless as when you were in the palace." ”

"Yes, my daughter knows."

Under the prestige of the old days, those who are women naturally have to bow their heads.

However, the second lady obviously came prepared, and she would not end her lecture early because of her bowing head. She took a sip of the tea brought by Xiaoyu, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued:

"You have to understand that although you are your child in your womb, it is also a royal bloodline, and a drop of dragon blood in the current emperor is much more expensive than yourself. Or your future, the future of the Lin family, and the future of our Jinsheng Dynasty will all be on him, how can you have a sloppy and casual heart? ”

Yes, this kid is much more important than I am, and maybe he brought what many people wanted, but took away what I wanted the most.

Suddenly, a breath choked in his chest, and breathing suddenly became a little difficult. Zitang was speechless, just nodded silently, picked up a cup of tea, and took a sip in disguise.

She would rather the second lady still return to the indifferent and unfamiliar "courtier" when she first entered the door, than the mother who told the truth with such sharp words at this time.

It seemed that she also felt that her words were too hurtful, and the second lady stopped talking, was silent for a long time, and suddenly said something irrelevant.

"Helian's family has returned to Beijing."

When Zitang heard this, his eyes immediately opened widely, and he looked at the second lady in disbelief, and Xiaoyu on the side also forgot his feelings for a while, and shouted:

"Helian family? Is that General Helian guarding the borders of the Hundred Elephant Country? ”

This time, the second lady did not reprimand her rudeness, but nodded and said, "Yes, Helian Akiba also returned to Beijing with his father, General Helian." After speaking, he looked at Zitang.

Zitang was a little difficult to digest this sudden news for a while, and after a while, he spoke:

"Oh, Brother Akiba is also back to Beijing together!?"

"Yes, I heard that he is preparing for next year's martial arts exam. Now, without your eldest brother in front of him, I'm afraid that next year's Wu Zhuangyuan will already be in his pocket. ”

"Yes, Akiba and eldest brother are the proud disciples of the old man Matsuya, and his martial arts are not much inferior to the eldest brother."

"Brother Akiba is a closed disciple of the ancient Song, he has followed the master for many years, and in the past few years, he has been training in the frontier with General Helian, and his martial arts must have improved a lot. He will definitely be a pillar of talent in the future. ”

Helian Autumn Leaves, this long-lost name evoked a lot of inexplicable thoughts of Cardamom, and for a while she seemed to have returned to the innocent and carefree girlhood.

At that time, Helian and the Lin family were still very friendly, and General Helian was still in the capital.

Helian Autumn Leaf and Cardamom are the same age, only two years older than her, and the two of them can be said to have grown up together. Helian Qiuye stayed in the Lin family for almost the same time as he stayed in Helian family. He often plays with the Lin family brothers and sisters and goes to the suburbs to play.

I still remember that when Helian Qiuye and Lin Zifeng began to practice martial arts, the fun Zitang had to learn it. Lin Zifeng felt sorry for his sister and didn't want her to suffer this, so he refused to teach her. However, Helian Qiuye was soft-hearted, so Zitang couldn't be entangled, so he secretly taught her. As a result, the first time she practiced, she broke her foot and neck, and finally caused Helian Qiuye to be punished by her senior brother, and her martial arts practice was over.

Carefree years always go by quickly. Until they grew up, the two families almost talked about their children's affairs. In the end, due to the political differences between General Helian and Lin Wenyue, the two families parted ways, General Helian was sent to the frontier, and his whole family moved away together. And the seemingly nonexistent oral marriage contract can be regarded as completely gone.

I can't help but think of the day I first entered the palace, the eldest brother's emotion: If I ...... back then?

You can't think about it, you can't worry about it. She's already this free. She is a caged canary, and it is impossible for her to leash another free bird.
