Chapter 193: The Past
The wind rose and shook the sparse forest, and the rustle of branches and leaves lingered in my ears, and my hair flew and brushed my face.
"You said that your father moved to Huixianglou, is he no longer going back to his own home?" Su Miao thought for a while and asked.
"Hmm. Except for his daughter's eldest son who went out of the pavilion and went back when he got married, he was in Huixiang Building at other times, and Huixiang Building was built outside the Liang Capital, and he didn't easily enter the city if there was no matter, and he was usually tired of being by my mother's side. ”
"He likes your mother so much?"
"Well, I like it, that's what he said to me."
"How much worse is the identity, I like it so much but I can't marry the main house, I look at your father's appearance, he doesn't look like a person who will be submissive."
"When he got married, the first emperor and the queen mother were there, and the marriage was designated by the queen mother, although my mother was the daughter of the head chef of the imperial kitchen, and she was also very liked by the emperor, but after all, she was a commoner, and the royal chef added a 'royal' word that sounded very noble, but to put it bluntly, it was no different from the people hired by rich people, and the daughter of the imperial chef married the prince to be the main room, which was impossible at that time."
Su Miao was stunned for a moment, her whole body was excited, she jumped up and sat up straight, looked at him in surprise, and asked stumblingly:
"My dear, my lord? You just said the Prince? ”
Aftertaste nodded calmly, and replied calmly without feeling that there was anything wrong:
"My father is the younger brother of the emperor today, ranked eighth, and his title is 'Rui', and everyone calls him 'Rui Wangye'."
Su Miao's mouth opened wide, her eyes widened, and she couldn't speak for a long time.
She thought that her father was a wealthy family in Liang, and maybe he was still a first- or second-class official. But I didn't think about the royal family, after all, I looked at the aftertaste like this, although I was extravagant, I was a cook. To say that he has royal blood is simply nonsense. However, this time it was such nonsense, he said that his father was the emperor's younger brother, the eighth prince Rui Wang, so he was the son of the prince, wouldn't he be......
When I saw that her mouth was big, the expression was very joyful, and I couldn't help but stretch out my fist to stuff her mouth.
Su Miao came back to her senses and hurriedly closed her mouth. Full of astonishment:
"So, you are the prince of the world?"
"Liang Min is the prince of the world, my surname is not Liang." He said lightly.
Su Miao heard a faint feeling in his tone. My heart fluttered, and I asked:
"You're disappointed that you can't be the prince of the world?"
I was stunned for a while, thought about it for a long time, and smiled lightly:
"When I was a kid. My father secretly took me into Liangdu behind my mother's back. Everywhere said that I was his son, at that time I knew that he was the prince, he had other sons, and I naturally felt a little awkward, Liang Min was right, but I was illegal, although my father loved me very much, but I still hated the identity of an illegitimate child for a while. But when I grew up, I wanted to open it. I live more comfortably than Liang Min, I just need to cook leisurely every day. But he has to take care of the Rui Palace, serve the imperial court, go to the battlefield, fight bandits, and constantly maneuver in many forces, even if he has been dismissed several times over the years. Although I haven't seen his mother, but I heard that his mother is very powerful, just because he married Lin Yan, his mother actually hanged himself on his wedding night, so that he patronized to save his mother and missed the time of the cave room, at least my mother will not hang me because I married someone who does not suit her wishes. ”
"Why did you hang yourself, what's wrong with Lin Yan?" Su Miao asked in surprise.
"I heard that Lin Yan's father was only a fourth-rank official at that time, and Princess Rui had already set up a young lady in the prime minister's family. It would be good for Liang Min to be in Liangdu for half a year, and the second brother said that every time Liang Min was not in Liangdu, Princess Rui would humiliate Lin Yan fiercely, and it was no wonder that she would invite herself to leave the court. ”
"What kind of person is Princess Rui!" Su Miao couldn't help but say, Lin Yan really has a wicked mother-in-law?
"Princess Rui is from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and in terms of seniority, the second sister-in-law has to call her 'aunt'. The Wei family has produced many queens, Princess Rui is a strong one, the eldest sister once said that she heard her biological mother say, because my father has no intention of the throne, and only wants to support the current emperor to ascend the throne, when the first emperor died, Princess Rui and my father had a hunger strike because of disagreement. My father said that he and Princess Rui were pinched together, he wanted to be at ease, but Princess Rui wanted to go straight to the top, Princess Rui should not be a princess, she should be a queen, but unfortunately she was unlucky, and she failed to enter the palace during the draft but was pointed out to the Rui Palace, wasting her talent. Marriage is the unshirkable responsibility of the royal family and nobles, so my father often said, it doesn't matter if I don't go to the family tree, I am at ease. When Liang Min married Lin Yan, Princess Rui really made a fuss for a while, it was my father who begged the emperor to give her a marriage, and Princess Rui compromised, but after all, she couldn't swallow this breath, and gave the bride a disappointment on the wedding night. ”
"Your eldest sister was not born to Princess Rui?"
"Born by the side concubine. According to the ancestral system, the prince will accept four side concubines at the same time one month after marrying a concubine, and if there are no heirs or thin heirs after a year, eight ladies will be accepted the following year. The royal family attaches the most importance to the heirs, just look at Liang Min, these ten years are enough for him, he can't inherit the throne without heirs, Princess Rui is very worried that one day I will rob her son of the throne. Aftertaste shook his head and smiled, "So it's not good to be born in the royal family, fortunately I didn't go to the family tree, my father said that he took a lot of effort to reduce it to only two side concubines, and he still has chest tightness and shortness of breath every year, and he would rather stay at the border than go back to Liangdu, and the emperor's migraine every year is because there are too many women in the palace." When my second brother and I were young, my father once said to us very solemnly, when you meet a girl you like, you must catch it, marry her home, don't let her run away, don't care about the identity of the family, like the most important thing, don't be like him and my mother, even if we meet again after eight years, there are many regrets after all. ”
"You just said that your mother went to your second aunt to marry after she ran away, isn't your second aunt ......?"
"The second aunt Princess Chaoyun and the pro-Qizhi country, she and my mother are very good, my mother went with me as a female official, and then the second aunt died of illness, my mother came back from the Qizhi country, brought back a lot of spices from the Qizhi country, and opened a Huixiang building in Liangdu."
"Your mother was unwilling to do a side room back then, why did she agree to do an outer room later?" It's hard to say about the feelings, but going around and going back to the original point, this circle is a bit big.
Aftertaste thought about it and frowned:
"When my mother did the side room, it was the Queen Mother who pointed out, although my father has always liked my mother, but he couldn't say it, and when he heard about the marriage, he was just secretly happy in his heart. The marriage came too hastily, my mother probably didn't think about it, even if the daughter of the head chef is not qualified to be a side concubine, the princess and the side concubines are all young ladies of the family, the queen mother's marriage at that time was very strange, and she actually agreed to the princess and the side concubine at the same time, my father said that she was probably afraid, so she fled. He once got drunk and told me that he regretted it and that it would have been nice to let my mother know what he wanted. He also told me that if you have a girl you like in the future, don't care about anything, say it first, it's okay if he misses eight years, and some people will miss it for a lifetime. ”
"Eight years," from the secret love to being assigned to the marriage to the escape and then to the reunion eight years later, the white-haired uncle is also affectionate enough, "It's been eight years, how old was your mother when she ran away from marriage?" She asked curiously.
"Fourteen." Aftertaste.
"Fourteen?" Su Miao was dumbfounded, remembering that Lin Yan said that she was also fourteen years old when she got married, the corners of her eyebrows twitched fiercely, and she looked up and down with strange eyes, "Does your family genetically like young/teeth?" ”
"Young/toothy? What is it? "The aftertaste is confusing.
Su Miao laughed out loud and shook her head after she finished speaking.
"Although my mother is an outer chamber and has an illegitimate child, you may look down on her, but I respect my mother very much, and I think she is amazing. My grandmother passed away early, my grandfather alone with my mother and uncle, grandfather is the emperor's exclusive kitchen, won the heart of the emperor, after the death of my grandfather, the emperor felt that my mother was pitiful, so he left her in the palace, and my uncle was sent to the border to become a military general. My mother escaped the royal marriage at the age of fourteen, accompanied the second aunt to the unfamiliar Qizhi country, eight years later and came back from the Qizhi country, the earliest Huixianglou was opened by herself, her focus on Huixianglou exceeded her all. No matter what people say about her, I think she's an amazing woman. Aftertaste said softly.
Su Miao nodded embarrassedly and asked with a smile:
"So, you don't have anything to do with the royal family now?"
"Before I was ten years old, my father secretly took me to the palace banquet behind my mother's back, and my mother was very angry when she found out, so my father stopped doing that. I used to usually go out in the Xianglou not much, but the emperor often came and went back to the Xianglou, as soon as he came, there were many people who came one after another, and I could often meet those people in the Huixianglou, but there was no active contact. Liang Min and I met in Huixianglou, at first he came to find my father, I think he should hate me, but I don't know why, he often comes to Huixianglou, and asks him that he said it is because it is quiet. ”
"Did you never go out when you were in Liangdu?" Su Miao asked in surprise, could it be that he didn't go out of the door?
"I just rarely go out, not that I don't. When I grew up, I no longer came into contact with the aristocratic circles of Liangdu, my mother didn't like me to contact those people, probably she wanted me to be an ordinary person, my father said so. ”
Su Miao nodded, thought for a moment, leaned back on him, looked at the starry sky, and said with a smile:
"Ordinary people, do you want to be ordinary people?"
Aftertaste hugged her tightly, and said with a faint smile: "I am an ordinary person, but fortunately I am an ordinary person, because I am an ordinary person, I can meet you, because I met you, I began to realize that the original boring every day can be so beautiful." ”
Su Miao's heart suddenly moved, and she wanted to laugh, but it was also a little incredible, he would actually say such a thing.
She looked up at him from the bottom up, and he looked down at her for a moment, her dark eyes like stars, shining brightly in the night.
His heart moved, and he suddenly leaned down and kissed her shallowly.
The soft touch, the slightly warm temperature, it is difficult to leave as soon as you touch.
The spring moon is like water, the wind, so gentle that it is like a lover's breath...... (To be continued......)
