Chapter XXVIII
Facing Qin Shu's surprised eyes, Qin Youan did not dodge in the slightest.
This problem has been between their mother and son for a long time, but they have been reluctant to touch it.
It's not just Qin Youan's problem, it's the same with Qin Shu, both mother and son have their own secrets.
It's not that I don't think the other party can be trusted, so I won't say it. But I didn't know what to say, and there was no right time to talk about it, so I kept delaying it.
In this world, if they can't even be trusted with each other, who else can they trust!
Therefore, Qin Shu also smiled calmly, looked at him without hiding from it, and said, "When you say this, I really have a little interest." I knew I should have let people in before. ”
She wasn't joking, if she had known that this eldest lady of the He family had such an extraordinary background, she really wanted to hear what she wanted to say to herself.
"If my mother wishes, she can be summoned to the house at will." Qin Youan said. Even if she is arrested, it is not a difficult matter, and the He family may not even dare to let out a fart.
Qin Shu shook her head, "It's still not necessary." ”
She is now choosing a concubine for You'an, and it is really inappropriate to summon He Yunting.
Besides, she is now on their territory, are you still afraid that she will not be able to fly with wings?
Seeing that You'an still wanted to speak, Qin Shu said again: "The food is going to be cold, let's eat first, and then talk after eating." ”
"Good!" Qin Youan nodded.
He did have a lot to say to his mother, and her mother seemed to be the same, and he was not in a hurry.
After the two finished their lunch, they went to talk under the grape trellis in the backyard.
Qin Shu's main lobby has two doors, the front and back, and the back door leads directly to the backyard. In the backyard, a grape trellis was built, which was square like a small pavilion, and there were wooden tables and benches inside, and it was also very pleasant to wait for the grape vines to wrap around the grape trellises, and to cool off in the shade of the grapes.
Although there was waterlogging this year, the grapes were more resistant to waterlogging and received some rescue, and although the growth was not as good as before, it still looked good. Bunches of green and purple grapes hang on the shelves, which also looks quite attractive.
After sitting down under the grape trellis, after the maid brought the tea tray up, Qin Shu waved her hand and asked them all to retreat. Even Lu Qingmiao and other guards were driven down by her, guarding at the front door and not letting people in. In the entire backyard, only the mother and son are left.
Qin Youan personally held the pot and poured tea for the two, and the two of them quietly enjoyed the scenery in the courtyard while sipping tea.
Many of the precious flowers planted in the original yard have drowned, but there are still some tenacious ones that survived, but more are all kinds of beautiful potted plants, which decorate the entire backyard with exquisite beauty and vitality.
Qin Shu looked at the row of potted plants placed not far away, with a bit of reminiscence on her face, and said with a smile: "Time flies so fast!" I remember when I first met you, you were still thin and small, and in the blink of an eye, almost ten years have passed, and you have grown into a man who stands up to the sky. It's kind of incredible to think about. ”
Qin Youan thought of himself when he was a child, and couldn't help but smile faintly, at that time, he was really very hard, and he was also very weak, just like an ant, anyone could pinch it to death.
But now it's different, he's not even twenty years old, and he's already a hegemon who can control the life and death of hundreds of people.
For many, he has been very successful.
But for him, this little achievement is nothing at all?
His goal is to reclaim his own supreme throne and imperial power.
And he was able to go so smoothly thanks to his mother who laid a good foundation for him.
This is true both physically and in power.
Even so, it was not so simple for him to achieve his goal.
It's not that if he's born again, he's invincible.
He just has one more life of experience than others, and he can make himself less detours, in fact, many things are different from his previous life.
Fortunately, in this life, his mother has always been with him, and she is the only person he can trust and even rely on. Let him not be like in his previous life - no matter how great the difficulties and crises he encounters, he can only bear them by himself.
He's not alone.
Thinking of this, his face softened a little more, and he quietly looked at Qin Shu and asked, "Do you want to know who my mother was in my previous life?" ”
Qin Shu looked at him quietly for a while, and said his guess: "It's definitely not an ordinary person, at least it will be a high-ranking person, maybe he was once a hegemon, or even higher." ”
A trace of surprise quickly flashed in Qin Youan's eyes, and he asked, "You look up to your son like this?" ”
Qin Shu didn't say anything with a smile, slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said in a slightly proud and proud tone: "Do you need to say this?" ”
His own son, of course, is the best.
The smile on Qin Youan's face spread, nodded slowly, and said, "Mother, you guessed right. In his previous life, his son also participated in this battle for supremacy, and won the final victory, successfully sat on the throne of the emperor, and established his own dynasty. ”
There wasn't much ostentation in his tone, just stating the facts in a calm tone.
The things of his previous life, whether they were beautiful or down, were all in the past for him, and there was nothing to show off.
When Qin Shu heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned.
Founding Emperor...... Is it her son?
Even if there was a long guess, when I really heard him admit it in person, I couldn't help but be shocked.
It's not that she suspects him of deceiving herself, she knows that You'an won't do this, and she doesn't need to, but the surprise is too big for her to believe.
However, Qin Shu still tried her best to digest the news.
Looking at You'an's familiar face, her expression gradually calmed down.
Gradually calmed down.
No matter who You'an was in his previous life, in this life, he was her son.
For her, that's enough.
Then, Qin Shu suddenly thought of a question, and asked a little eagerly: "You'an, should the Shen family be ......?"
Qin Shu's words didn't come out, but You'an understood her unfinished meaning, and in Qin Shu's gaze, he solemnly said again: "Yes." ”
Qin Shu's brows furrowed slightly, and she said, "Since she was the queen of your previous life, wouldn't it be a little inappropriate for me to do this now?" ”
Shen Jingfang can make You'an, who is the emperor, still miss her after being reborn, and she has to marry her back as a wife, which shows the depth of the relationship between the two. Now, she wants to choose a "virtuous concubine" for You'an, which is a great threat to Shen Jingfang's status.
You'an, is he really willing? Or is he really willing to give it?
Qin Youan understood what Qin Shu was worried about, and he hurriedly said, "There's nothing wrong with it. The past life is the past life, and this life is the present life. I'm not going to get confused. I shouldn't have forced it in the first place. ”
After speaking, he sighed and said: "Maybe after being reborn for a lifetime, it is a different perspective to see the problem, and the person does not seem to be that person anymore." ”
Of course, there is also a very important point that his heart is biased.
In the past, for him, the woman closest to his heart was undoubtedly Shen Jingfang. She was his wife, gave him a home, suffered a lot for him, and even helped him quietly when her father-in-law misunderstood him and dealt with him, and never abandoned him. So, he is also good to his wife. Shen Jingfang is also special to him. Whatever she did, he felt right.
Shen Jingfang naturally understands her status in her husband's heart, and she is also happy to be generous, she doesn't bother to fight for anything at all, she knows what she should do, which is the best for herself. Not only did he not fight for anything, but he even took care of those women. Such a mentality and behavior, when it appears, is naturally peaceful and generous, and as she gradually grows up, she has more and more of a generation of virtuous queens and demeanor.
Not to mention, Qin You'an really couldn't say anything good about women in his previous life, he killed people at every turn, and only Empress Shen could persuade one or two. Over time, those women liked to ask Queen Shen for help, and in the end, Queen Shen came forward to protect them. Because of this, Empress Shen's reputation is getting better and better.
Xiao Guifei is also very good, but Xiao Guifei is a person who pays great attention to etiquette and law, and she acts very strictly, so she seems a little unkind. When she assisted Queen Shen in taking care of palace affairs, the two sang with a red face and a white face, one soft and one rigid, and they cooperated very tacitly. Of course, Concubine Xiao has always been singing white-faced, and all the things that offend people are done by her, and her good reputation is naturally won by the red-faced Queen Shen.
Because of this, Empress Shen and Concubine Xiao got along very well, and Queen Shen never hesitated to praise Concubine Xiao in front of Qin Zhaocheng.
Later generations have mixed evaluations of Qin Zhaocheng, the emperor. However, the evaluation of Empress Shen is excellent, and she can definitely be called a model of "a generation of virtuous queens".
Some people even think that without Queen Shen, there would be no Cheng Taizu, and Queen Shen will be held very high.
Because of his deep relationship with Queen Shen, in his previous life, Xu Zhaoting treated him badly later, and wanted to kill him three times and twice. After he later became the emperor, he still saw that he had promoted himself and Empress Shen at the beginning, and posthumously crowned Xu Zhaoting as the king.
is also good for Queen Shen's sister Xu Huizhu, so that she gave birth to several children, both children and daughters.
Even after Empress Shen passed away, he felt that no one was worthy of being the queen anymore, and he never became a queen again.
It wasn't until this life that his impression of Shen Jingfang gradually changed, so that now, he no longer wants to miss the old love, completely separating the past and this life.
Although he no longer values Queen Shen in his previous life, he doesn't want to deny her completely because of Shen Jingfang, so isn't he denying himself in his previous life?
He will still miss Queen Shen, but he will not empathize with Shen Jingfang in this life.
Qin Shu nodded slightly when she heard this, but didn't ask more.
Since Youan said so, she didn't have to worry about anything.
She really doesn't like Shen Jingfang very much.
"By the way, among the women you know now, are there any concubines from your previous life? Zhao: Is it? Qin Shu touched her chin and asked in a deep voice.
The reason why she didn't ask Zhou Zhen'er was because she felt that Zhou Zhen'er couldn't be You'an's concubine in her previous life, because You'an really didn't have much special to her, and even at the beginning, she didn't want to accept her at all.
On the contrary, it was Zhao Hanqiu who took the initiative to marry You'an.
Qin Youan shook his head slightly with a smile and said, "The Zhao family is not, but among the women you look at, there are really concubines from my previous life." ”
Qin Shu suddenly became interested and asked, "Who is it?" ”
Qin Youan didn't sell Guan Zi, and said directly: "It's the Xiao family." ”
Qin Shu asked in surprise, "Is it the daughter of the Xiao family?" Then, she glanced at Qin Youan reproachfully and said, "Why didn't you sue me earlier?" I've been there hesitating and hesitating. ”
"Didn't I want my mother to choose for herself?" Qin Youan added tea to Qin Shu and said slowly.
"If I don't choose her, won't you marry her?" Qin Shu said with a smile, "You are willing to marry her to someone else!" ”
She didn't believe it!
Qin Youan did not deny it, and said directly: "The Xiao family is the concubine of his son in his previous life, if his mother did not choose her this time, as long as his mother agrees in the future, I will definitely accept her." "It's just that, at that time, it was as an ordinary concubine.
However, is it not his final say in the matter of identity?
Whoever he likes and favors will have a high status.
It's just that because of Shen Jingfang's experience, he is now skeptical of Xiao.
Men are extremely possessive. Especially for people like Qin Youan. For the things I once cared about, I would rather ruin them,
I'd rather ruin it than give it to someone else, let alone a woman.
Those women who can't remember are just that, since it is a woman she once liked or even cared about, it is definitely impossible to push her into the arms of others.
And the women he cared about more in his previous life were none other than Queen Shen and Concubine Xiao, Concubine He An, at most half.
As for Xu Huizhu, she is not in this range at all, and in this life, it is impossible for him to marry her again.
He accepted Xu Huizhu in his previous life, completely because of Empress Shen.
"You men......" Qin Shu shook her head with a smile and sighed silently in her heart.
Suddenly, she suddenly thought of Qi Wu.
Qi Wu is also a hegemon, and his power is even better than You'an.
He is not too young anymore, it is impossible that he has not yet married a wife and taken a concubine! Then he still came to chase himself, what is his intention?
Hateful, she hadn't thought of this before.
Or rather, she didn't care at all, because she didn't mean to develop a relationship with him at all.
And now, she suddenly thought about it.
Think about what this means......
Qin Shu's mood suddenly took a sharp turn, and her impression of Qi Wu was the same.
That's it, just an irrelevant person, why be angry with him!
Just ignore it in the future.
Despite this, there was still a nameless fire burning in Qin Shu's heart.
Seeing that Qin Shu's face changed suddenly, and her expression was not very good-looking, Qin Youan hurriedly asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Feeling unwell? ”
Qin Shu came back to her senses, quickly restrained her expression, showed a smile, and said, "It's nothing, I just thought of some unpleasant things." By the way, Yoan, what was your previous name? ”
Although Qin Youan was a little concerned about his mother's strange appearance just now, he still said, "Qin Zhaocheng." ”
Qin Zhaocheng ...... Qin Zhaocheng ......" Qin Shu muttered twice, and then said with a smile: "Yes, it is much more imposing than 'Qin Youan'." Do you want to change back to your original name? ”
Qin Youan shook his head slightly and said, "No need, the name chosen by my mother is good!" I like it very much. ”
This represents a piece of my mother's heart and wishes. She wanted to be safe all the time.
He was reluctant to abandon the name, and he also liked the name full of warmth.
Qin Shu saw that he said firmly, understood what he meant, and her heart was warm, and she suddenly wanted to touch his head like when she was a child.
Her son is indeed a filial and gentle child.
It's a pity that You'an has grown up, and this kind of action is no longer appropriate.
At the same time, there was also an impulse in her heart, and she wanted to tell him her real name.
She's never told anyone her real name!
"You'an, the mother's surname is Qin, and the single name is a 'Shu'. You'll have to remember later. Qin Shu said with a smile.
Qin Youan was stunned for a moment, he was the previous name of his mother, so now this name is ......
However, he didn't ask much, just nodded slowly and solemnly, and said, "Mother, my son remembers." ”
Seeing this, Qin Shu's heartbeat finally slowed down, she knew that You'an was so smart that she would definitely understand what she meant by this.
By saying this, she has already revealed some of her secrets.
Things that I used to think were difficult to talk about, but after I started, I found that it was not so difficult.
Qin Shu took a deep breath and said, "My mother and yours are a little similar, but they are not the same. You are reborn into your own body, and I, however, ...... Resurrection of the soul. ”
Saying the last four words, Qin Shu said it very softly, only You'an could hear it, but it was extremely difficult, as if he had exhausted all his strength.
Because it does take courage to say such things.
When Qin Youan heard this, his expression remained unchanged, but his pupils shrank slightly.
Then, he immediately looked back and looked around, and found that there was no one around, so his heart gradually relaxed, and his nervous expression was also relaxed, looking at Qin Shu's eyes, as always.
Qin Shu had been observing Qin Youan's expression, and seeing that he not only did not dislike herself, but was still worried about herself, afraid that others would hear her words, she felt very moved and relieved in her heart.
Qin Youan said: "No wonder, I didn't hear anything about Qin ...... in my previous life Su Lian's news, she should have died at that time. ”
Without Qin Shu occupying Qin Sulian's body, she would have died at that time, and Xu Shiqing's marriage with Cao Jinglan would have been unhindered, and the Xu family should have followed Cao Jinglan back to the capital directly.
When Qin Youan mentioned Qin Sulian's name, he had no taboos and respect, because he already knew that she and his mother were two people.

Well, that's not over yet...
