Chapter 337: King Jing's Reminiscences
Ouyang Han said "hmm" without saying anything, and only said after a while: "What my mother needs most is freedom, then my father has nothing to bring her back, don't you just let him take his wind to live in the countryside together?" Because Ouyang Han had heard the Queen Mother talk about his father and mother when they were young, he knew that his mother was once just a village woman in the countryside, and her father personally brought her back to the imperial capital. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info But now listening to his father, he should know that what his mother needs most is himself, so since he knows, why do he have to bring her back?
King Jing's expression suddenly froze, and he lost his composure just now, and said softly: "I have been in love with your mother for a long time, at that time, your imperial grandfather ordered Duan Shao to come back to me, I did hesitate for a moment, I think your mother is used to living in the countryside, perhaps, she can't adapt to the life of the palace." I also thought about giving up the throne to accompany her to the end of her life, but your imperial grandfather insisted that I come back, otherwise he would send someone to arrest your mother. I had no choice but to come back. And at that time, your mother was already pregnant with you, and I didn't worry about leaving her alone in the country, so I persuaded her to come back with me. Happily......" A touch of joy appeared on King Jing's face, "Your mother actually agreed, and when I said let her go home with me, she really agreed!" ”
Speaking of this, King Jing was very complacent, and his eyebrows were bright.
Ouyang Han was very relieved when he heard his father tell him so many things about his mother for the first time, and asked King Jing: "Then will my mother and father know your true identity when you come back?"
When King Jing heard this, he sighed and replied: "At that time, your uncle was blocking the village with so many soldiers, I don't know if she knew that I was a prince, anyway, she should have thought that I was not an ordinary person. Perhaps, she just thought I was a son of a family back then! He has also thought about this question more than once, Duan Shao was blocked at the entrance of the village with so many soldiers and horses, although they didn't say much that they were a prince, but there were also a few people who knelt there and called themselves "Your Highness" and "Prince", but I don't know if Qin Jia heard it. But even if she really didn't hear those people call herself at that time, she should have guessed that he was not an ordinary person, the young master of an ordinary family, not to mention that he was in trouble, he eloped with someone's little girl, and it was not worth using so many soldiers and horses to pursue him!
Ouyang Han could imagine the scene when the emperor's grandfather sent troops to surround that village in order to let his father return to Beijing, and he became more and more curious, "Then what about after coming back, will my mother and her adapt to life here?" He knew that his biological mother was from the countryside, so Ouyang Han cared more about whether his mother was suitable for life here after coming to live in King Jing's Mansion, and Princess Jing was the mother he Ouyang Han had called for so many years, and whether she really had never made her feel bad.
King Jing sighed again, talking about the time when he came back with Qin Jia, King Jing was indeed very unhappy in his heart. Back then, when he returned to the capital with Qin Jia and Duan Shao, the first emperor summoned him into the palace and reprimanded him fiercely, saying that as a prince, not only did he not lead by example, but he made a lot of trouble, and even brought a married woman back to the palace as a side concubine, which was really an inch. King Jing knew that if he didn't tell him that Qin Jia was pregnant, it would be absolutely impossible for Emperor Xian to allow her to live in King Jing's mansion. But if he said that his father still disagreed, then he would not have a trump card. There was no way, after weighing the two phases, King Jing chose to tell the truth. When he righteously told the first emperor the news that Qin Jia was pregnant, and said that if the first emperor did not agree to Qin Jia entering the Jing Palace, then this prince Ouyang Rong would not do it. The first emperor knew his son and knew that if he didn't agree with what he said at that time, he might really give up everything for Qin Jia's sake.
In the end, the first emperor relented, he allowed King Jing to accept Qin Jia as a side concubine, but it was only a side concubine in name, in essence, the first emperor only treated Qin Jia as a concubine of King Jing, just waiting for the child in her womb, he would do everything to make this rural village girl disappear. Emperor Xian thought maybe King Jing knew better than anyone else, but he didn't think much about it at the time, as long as his father was willing to let Qin Jia stay by his side, he would be satisfied, as for the rest, everything didn't matter!
"At the beginning, your mother really didn't adapt to this kind of life in the palace, and she was reluctant to use the two maids I sent to her. When King Jing talked about this, his eyes were full of relief, as if he had returned to the time when he was more than ten years ago, he stood quietly behind Qin Jia and watched him water the flowers alone, but he was reluctant to support the two little girls he sent to her, he asked, "Jia'er, why don't you let the two of them come?"
Qin Jia turned around and smiled at him, and then turned around, watering the flowers while smiling back to King Jing, "The two of them are still so young, how can I be willing to let them do such heavy work, besides, these flowers have been taken care of by me since I was a child, I think they also want me to water them!" ”
King Jing smiled gently, waved his hand away the two little maids in plain clothes who were reluctant to support Qin Jia who was standing next to him, and wrapped his arms around Qin Jia's slender waist from behind, buried his head in her neck socket, and said with some relief: "Why are you so good!"
When Qin Jia heard the tone of King Jing's words, she knew that he must have something to do when he was summoned into the palace by His Majesty because he was reprimanded, she gently put the kettle in her hand aside, gently stroked King Jing's cheek with her hand, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, he ...... What is he looking for in you? ”
King Jing let go of his hand around Qin Jia's waist, and as soon as Qin Jia turned around, he was held in his arms, "It's nothing, Father, he just talked to me about some trivial things!" ”
Qin Jia knew that the emperor's summoning of Ouyang Rong into the palace this time was nothing more than to add herself to the clan genealogy, but since he didn't want to say it, she didn't want to embarrass him, so she only gently raised her hand around King Jing's waist and said softly: "It's okay!"
A vague smile appeared at the corner of Ouyang Han's mouth, and he was silent for a while before asking, "So, Grandpa Huang didn't write my mother into the family tree after all, right?"
King Jing shook his head slightly, his eyes staring at the flame on the candle without blinking, "At first, your imperial grandfather did not want to admit your mother for anything, but then she gave birth to you, do you know why your name is Ouyang Han?" (To be continued.) )
