"So, my father hasn't been here for my mother in the past few days?" It's not that Nangong Yufeng didn't know the purpose of his lying, but when he thought of the suffering that his mother had suffered in his heart over the years, he couldn't help but want to interrupt him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Lord Li was dumbfounded, standing there embarrassedly, and said in his heart, he didn't know it was coming, it was obvious that the mother and son had an awkward relationship today, didn't he come over at this time to send it to the door to make the family angry?

Seeing that he was treated like this, Prince Li did not have the slightest anger, in the end it was his biological father, and no matter how strong Nangong Yufeng was, he should suppress it. He softened his tone and said to King Li, "If my father has come here for the sake of the last time, then you can rest assured, I have already figured it out. Our Nangong family is not a royal family, but it sits firmly in the high position of the only foreign surname king in the Great Xia Kingdom, and we must always have a bargaining chip in our hands to deter others, otherwise how can we gain a foothold? At first, I thought too little about it, and I oversimplified it. He turned to look at the door on the stairs, and no longer looked at his father, "Father, do you know that you can plan everything without worries, who should be most thankful?" ”

King Li followed his gaze and looked at the door, where the woman was standing against it, and she heard the conversation between father and son very clearly.

King Li didn't answer, only Nangong Yufeng's voice alone, and he continued, "What you should be most grateful for is the woman inside." Although you hurt her mercilessly, you even refused to face the guilt in your heart after the injury and chose to run away from her. But she still helps you take care of everything behind you as always, and even lets your concubines sit and enjoy their comfort. And what did you do for her? Leaving her the title of a princess is also earned by her hard work! Not only have you abandoned her, you've been taking advantage of her! The more he talked, the more excited he became, and the more he talked, the more distressed he felt for his mother.

And the princess Li inside has long been crying, it turns out that she didn't hurt her son in vain, he still knows the most about feeling sorry for this mother, and knows that she has been wronged over the years, and she lives sadly. It turns out that everything I have done has not been in vain, and it is still worth it! Suddenly, those grievances turned out to be ethereal, and the bits and pieces of Nangong Yufeng's accompaniment to him clearly appeared in front of him, and even tears made him feel happy......

She didn't listen to the conversation between the two men outside, and those few words were enough for her.

I don't know how long it took, the door behind her was gently pushed open, and Princess Li realized that she didn't know when she was already sitting on the ground behind the door, and her cuffs were already soaked.

It was Nangong Yufeng who came in, he squatted down, knelt on the ground, reached out and held the princess's hand and pulled it up, and the hand was really cold as expected, when his big hand completely wrapped the princess's hand, he realized that he had not pulled these hands for too long. Even the memories of these hands that can be seen in my mind are the feeling of them wrapping their little hands in full, as if a time has changed, they suddenly become smaller, and the small ones can no longer hold their hands. Or maybe his hands are getting bigger, who knows? In short, the hands of the mother, who had given him the first peace of mind and relief, had changed from a giver to a needer, and he had not noticed it for a long time.

The warmth from the palm of her hand was quickly transmitted to her heart, Princess Li wanted to laugh, and knew that she should smile at this time, but the tears slipped down uncontrollably, she felt like an ignorant child, and she didn't have the majesty that a princess should have, but she just wanted to be so presumptuous, anyway, the only person who saw herself like this was her son.

Nangong Yufeng smiled and pulled the princess up, and helped her sit in front of the dresser, "Mother, it's time to take care of your makeup, it's not good-looking......"

Princess Li smiled with a spring breeze on her face, but laughed at herself, "How good-looking can you be when you are dozens of years old?" To clean up or not to clean up is not all an old face! But his eyes unconsciously stared at the person in the mirror, and his hands followed up to touch this, rub there, and even purse his lips.

Nangong Yufeng couldn't help but smile again when he looked at her.

The beautiful atmosphere lasted until dinner, and the prince also came to eat. For his arrival, although Princess Li didn't say anything on her face, she was still happy in her heart, it was rare for her to have a dinner with the family, since Shu Juan's incident, such an opportunity has not been seen several times a year.

Probably because Nangong Yufeng's words stimulated the princess before, during the meal, the princess actually served the princess with vegetables, and it was all the princess's favorite food, it seems that he has not really forgotten the princess over the years, at least he still remembers the princess's preferences.

The housekeeper stood aside and watched the three masters eat happily, and his heart was also full of joy, he actually heard all the words that the prince said today, but only he knew that the prince was also bitter in his heart, but men and women showed different things, and today the prince went out from the princess and locked himself in the study for two hours, maybe he cried secretly inside.

After the meal, the three of them sat and chatted with teacups, Nangong Yufeng remembered what Xi Cui asked him to tell his mother, so he thought about it, and finally decided to introduce this topic carefully. So he asked tentatively, "Has the concubine received Princess Chaoyang's post?" Her engagement to Lau Keqin should be coming soon, right? ”

The princess was drinking tea, and when she heard him ask about Princess Chaoyang, she was inevitably puzzled, so she put down the teacup and looked at him, "Received, you ......"

"Don't think about it, I'm just asking, does the concubine know who else she invited?" Nangong Yufeng continued to guide in depth.

Princess Li shook her head, "I don't know about this, Chaoyang has hardly left the palace since the death of the first emperor, and we have never met again." Later, I heard that the emperor gave her to Lao Keqin...... Alas, speaking of which, this Chaoyang is very compatible with you regardless of identity and character. It's a pity that you didn't look down on others at the beginning, but it was cheaper for Lao Keqin! Anyway, the Lao family sent the post yesterday, and it was for you. ”

"You mean Lau Keqin gave me a post?" Nangong Yufeng was quite surprised by this incident, the heart of this Lao family is really big enough, so many things have happened, and they dare to come to the door so blatantly.

Princess Li nodded, suddenly changed her face, and said solemnly to Nangong Yufeng, "This time, you can't be too embarrassed to give the Lao family face." I've heard all about Xi Cui's family, and the reason why Lao Keqin personally supervised and helped find the murderer is not your face. Besides, the body is said to have been found by the clues provided by the people in the end, but how did I hear that you didn't even say a word of thanks afterwards? Now instead of caring about it, people will post to you, who is Uncle Lao? His son is so obviously courteous, if you repeatedly slap your face, it won't look good. Probably in a hurry, Princess Li wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and continued, "I know you don't look down on the Lao family, but it is good to take care of each other as officials in the court. ”

The princess's words finally woke up Nangong Yufeng, and he reacted that the reason why the Lao family dared to post to himself was because the outside world about Xi Cui's family was almost completely untouched by the facts, as Princess Li said, he Lao Keqin also became the one who took the initiative to help. Even in the end, the family personally escorted the murderer to the mourning hall.

On the contrary, he Nangong Yufeng was a little ignorant, and people obviously sold him such a big favor, but he didn't say anything at all.

Fortunately, since he was given a post, then he will go for it. At least all in one place, if Xi Cui encounters something, he can help.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Princess Li thought that he was listening attentively to what he was saying, and her mood suddenly became more cheerful, and she took a sip of tea and continued, "It's rare that our mother and son will go together this time, and then you will find an excuse to come to the female guest to find me, and I will help you keep an eye on those famous ladies. Whether a flat wife is a concubine or not, and we have to choose a good family, we should be cautious. The Miss He I told you before heard that she was also going, and I looked good, although her father Anyang Hou had a fief far away in Anyang, he was a Hou Ye after all. That young lady is a concubine, and her manners are noble and decent, and she is also a little delicate......"

"Mother ......" finally talked about this matter again, and it seems that the mother concubine still hasn't given up the idea of marrying him a wife. How can this be?

Prince Li, who had been watching the excitement from the sidelines, finally spoke, he cleared his throat, cast a reassuring look at Nangong Yufeng, and said to the princess with a smile, "I heard that this Anyang Hou Ke is such a daughter, why is she willing to marry far away from the capital?" And with her identity, even if she marries far away in the capital, it shouldn't be difficult to find a prince to be a wife, how can she be willing to marry Yufeng as a flat wife? A flat wife is not a proper wife after all, and her name is always worse. ”

Hearing him say this, the smug look on Princess Li's face became even more obvious, "Since ancient times, beautiful women have loved heroes. Who made my son look dignified and young and promising? Although Miss He didn't say it herself, I learned from her nurse that she had seen Yufeng on the day Yufeng returned to Beijing in triumph. Don't say it's a flat wife, even if it's a concubine, she is willing to do it! ”

Looking at her appearance, where does Nangong Yufeng need to see, she has clearly identified this Miss He, okay?

Nangong Yufeng almost wanted to stand up and speak, but was stopped by Prince Li, he waved his hand at him, and continued to say to Princess Li, "I know that you don't look down on that Xi Cui, and you want to use a good wife to fight for Yufeng's face, but their marriage contract is given by the emperor in the end, this wife has not yet entered the door, so we will choose a flat wife for Yu Feng with such an open fire, if this matter reaches the ears of the emperor, I'm afraid it's not okay?" If you want me to say, it's not that we don't choose a flat wife, if we want to choose, we have to choose carefully, don't dare to go to the doctor in a hurry, in case you look at it and lose your eyes, it will really hurt Yufeng. Of course, I'm not saying that Miss He is bad, it's just that you are indeed a little anxious now, once people are in a hurry, some things will inevitably be negligent, be careful, right? ”

After he said this, Princess Li began to think thoughtfully. She knows her husband best, although she doesn't seem to be doing business on weekdays, but she is never ambiguous in business, especially when he says serious things, almost a superfluous sentence will not be mixed, since he mentioned three times that he wants to carefully observe this Miss He, then he must have seen something.

That's it, whether he did it intentionally or not, but it is not wrong to sail carefully on the ship of ten thousand years.

So Princess Li no longer insisted on mentioning this Miss He, but turned the topic elsewhere, and the three of them chatted for a long time. Nangong Yufeng still couldn't convey Xi Cui's words, but Prince Li quietly mentioned Xi Cui, originally everyone was talking about what gifts to bring to the banquet, Prince Li casually talked about a few good businesses, and asked the princess to take the time to take a look. Then he talked about the women in the capital who once competed to emulate Xi Cui's preferences.

So he asked Nangong Yufeng, "I heard that the princess also gave Xi Cui a post, do you know what gifts Xi Cui has prepared?" That girl has always had a good eye......"

Princess Li naturally lost her mood when she heard this, but Princess Li's words reminded her of the gift given by Xi Yunting on Concubine Ju's birthday last year. That thing should have been selected by Xi Cui, and his vision is really good.

"I didn't hear Xi Cui mention what kind of gift to give, but it was quite difficult for her to go in what capacity." Finally brought the topic over, Nangong Yufeng breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that he is really not suitable to participate in these inner house affairs, he has no talent at all, but it takes so much trouble to pass on a word, which is more laborious than fighting with others.

"What identity? What does she mean? Princess Li's face changed suddenly, "Do you need to say this?" Just by virtue of her, how could Xi Cui have the opportunity to go to such a place? What Princess Chaoyang asked her to see is not the face of our Liwang Mansion! She's starting to put on a show now, does that need to be said? When the time comes, as long as someone asks, of course, they must be carried out of our Liwang Mansion first. ”

"Mother is cautious!" Nangong Yufeng always didn't want to see Princess Li talk about Xi Cui with such an attitude, so he opened his mouth to explain, "Where did you think of these Xi Cui? But she thought of the first consequence that happened after she was lifted out of the Liwang Mansion, then everyone would think that she Xi Cui dared to swagger in the Princess Mansion with the power of the Liwang Mansion, and looked down on the princess and even looked down on the Lao family! You know my relationship with the Lao family, I don't care, but if the princess is implicated, it is related to the royal family! ”

"This ......" Princess Li gasped, why didn't she think of it. Often where there are many women, there are many rights and wrongs, and there are more people who are not used to Xi Cui, she is likely to be picked by others even if she keeps to herself, if she takes the initiative so strongly, the result can be imagined. "In that case, then she doesn't want to mention the Liwang Mansion!"

"This is even more impossible, everyone attends such an occasion as the princess's engagement to pick up the most valuable identity on their own body and carry it out, but Xi Cui does the opposite, it will only make people say that she is eager to clear up the relationship with me, and even more people with a heart will inevitably wonder if we are not happy with the marriage arranged by the emperor at all, although it is not enough to look at the supreme disrespect, but it is against the emperor's yang and yin!" Nangong Yufeng relayed Xi Cui's words again.

Princess Li thought about it, and yes, this Xi Cui is really thoughtful. Speaking of which, she doesn't actually hate this woman, but she doesn't look down on her identity, but she wants to be her daughter-in-law. It was this relationship that caused her to resist instinctively, but at this time she suddenly became a little happy, if she changed to another woman, no matter what kind of consequences it caused, it would be a big blow to Nangong Yufeng.

Seeing that her face softened, Nangong Yufeng continued, "Although the matter is difficult to do, Xi Cui still thought of a solution. ”

"Oh? So she has a way? Princess Li couldn't help but be curious, this is clearly a dilemma, can she break such a situation?

Nangong Yufeng nodded, with a little pampering and a little smug in his smile, "The solution is actually very simple, she said that she wants you to go with her when the time comes." ”

"What? No way! Princess Li immediately decided to refuse directly. I thought she had a good way, but I didn't expect it to be such an abacus. If she appeared in such a place with her, in the eyes of outsiders, she would become the princess recognized by the Liwang Mansion! Why did she help her so much!

Seeing her refuse, Nangong Yufeng's expression darkened, he lowered his head and picked up the teacup, and gently blew the tea leaves on it, but he was not in a hurry to drink it, but just sighed and said, "I knew that you must have such an attitude towards the mother, and I told her, but Xi Cui actually said that the mother, for the good of my son, you will gladly allow it, and sure enough, she still miscalculated...... Alas......"

"She's still talking about me in front of you?" Princess Li is also a woman, and women are inherently curious, especially what others say about themselves, and it is difficult for them to care whether they want to or not. What's more, Xi Cui is like her, and she is about to become a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and her mother-in-law cares about her daughter-in-law's evaluation of herself, and this curiosity is probably the most worrying for her.

Nangong Yufeng drank the tea slowly at this time, drank two or three sips in succession, and then said slowly, "She said you, she not only said you but also all the parents in the world." Her exact words are like this, the only people in this world who are willing to be good to you for no reason are their parents, and their intentions to treat their children are pure and thorough, even if they are not in a thousand ways. Take advantage of their good side, be more obedient to them, let them be a little more happy and less worried...... "Don't be like her, "the son wants to raise but doesn't wait"...... He didn't say the last sentence, but went on to say another sentence, of course, Xi Cui said, he said, "Xi Cui said that you are an extraordinary woman who understands the overall situation and cares about the overall situation, and you can distinguish between relatives and distances. ”

"Did she really say that? You didn't coax me, did you? Princess Li looked at Nangong Yufeng suspiciously.

Nangong Yufeng didn't explain much, and put down the teacup, "I know that the concubine won't believe it easily, but she also said this level, you have to pass it sooner or later, and the truth will meet people's hearts over time." That's all I say, mother, whatever you want to do. ”

After finishing speaking, he went back to his yard, Prince Li looked at the princess's expression, laughed a few times in his heart, and left, and only Princess Li was left in the whole house, she looked at the open door thoughtfully...... (To be continued.) )
