123. Chapter 123
"Now that you understand, follow your mother to the side hall and change your clothes. Children outside the palace wear such clothes. If you want to live well, you'd better forget everything in this palace in the future. The degree of food and clothing can only be the same as that of ordinary children. ”
"Yes, Queen Mother!" The children seemed to understand what they didn't understand.
Xianxiao looked at the concubine who was secretly crying behind him, took the lead in pulling his son by, turned around and walked to the inner room.
"Queen Mother!" Xianxiao's son is the eldest prince of Nanlin after all, twelve or thirteen years old, already understands personnel, and at this moment he threw himself into Xianxiao's arms, and shed tears before speaking.
"My son!" Xianxiao couldn't hold back the sorrow in his heart anymore, and hugged his son into his arms, "Promise your mother, you must live well!" If there is such a day, the Queen Mother will surely come and join you. ”
"Queen Mother, I don't want to leave!"
"No, you have to go! If you don't leave now, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave again. Xianxiao removed his son's clothes with all his hands and feet, and changed into the coarse cloth clothes from the inside out, "Son, listen to the queen mother, you must pay attention everywhere after you go out." As soon as you find out that something is wrong, immediately run away and try to hide, leaving no one else to care, and the most important thing is to survive yourself. ”
Then, Xianxiao took out some silver tickets and put them into his son's baggage, "You carry these silver taels with you in case you need them, don't let others know about them." ”
The eldest prince clinged to Xianxiao's arms, choked and nodded continuously, "The child understands." ”
As he spoke, Xianxiao pointed to an inconspicuous place in the child's underwear and lowered his voice, "The queen mother has sewn your father's jade wrench finger into it, you must be careful to put it away." If one day, Nanlin is expected to return to the country, which is a symbol of your status. ”
"Son, from now on, the queen mother can't be by your side, you have to learn to take care of yourself." Xianxiao once again hugged his son in his arms and kissed his face and forehead with tears, "Remember, you are the eldest prince of King Nanlin, and this world is yours." If you have the opportunity, you will definitely snatch it back from Yueli's hands. ”
Xianxiao led his son out of the inner room, and the other concubines also walked over with their children in red eyes. The children were dressed inside and out, and even their hair was simply combed and wrapped with a cloth belt. Mr. and Mrs. Hei stood silently on the sidelines, dressed as peasant families.
"Whoever has jewelry or jade on him, bring them all. You are not allowed to take anything in the palace with you, otherwise it will only harm you. Xianxiao looked at these children with red eyes and said with a hard heart.
Several concubines hurriedly took out the things they had given to the children in advance, and their tears couldn't help but fall again. I wanted to give my child a thought, but now I don't dare to leave anything.
"Sisters, don't cry, this palace feels as uncomfortable as you. However, this is the only way for our children to survive this catastrophe. ”
Xianxiao said, pulling his son and the eldest princess to turn to the Hei couple, "From today onwards, this is your father and mother." You remember, outside the palace, everything must be at the behest of your father. ”
The two children fell to their knees and respectfully called out, "Daddy, Mother!" ”
"Queen Mother, this can't be helped!" Ah Hei was about to avoid it immediately, but was caught by Xianxiao.
"Ahhei, there's nothing you can't do. Leaving this palace, they must have a new identity, and everything here has nothing to do with them. From now on, their life and death will be on your husband and wife, this father, this mother, you can afford it! ”
Xianxiao pulled up the two eldest children on the ground, and said to the remaining children, "Don't call Uncle Hei and Aunt Hei yet!" ”
Five or six slightly younger children also knelt in front of Mr. and Mrs. Hei and shouted respectfully, "Uncle Hei, Aunt Hei." ”
"Get up!" Ah Hei and his wife hurriedly pulled up the pile of little masters in front of them.
"The emperor said that your family is a farmer who escaped the war in a farm on the outskirts of Beijing. Along the way, please remind the children at any time that the common sense of the farm must also be taught to them, otherwise it will eventually arouse the suspicion of others in the future. Xianxiao looked at Mr. and Mrs. Hei.
"Don't worry, the queen mother, the emperor has made a special explanation before leaving."
"As for where you are going, the emperor said that no one should ask. He must have given his children to both of you because he believed that you would treat them well. It's getting late, so let's get going. I hope there will be a day when we meet! Xianxiao touched his son's head warmly, and reluctantly let go of his hand.
"Let's go, kids!" Ah Hei and his wife hugged their fists and saluted Xianxiao and the others, pulled the children and strode out of Qingfangxie. Those mothers, which one doesn't feel pain in their hearts? They all followed, all the way to the door of Qingfangxie, and they just wanted to engrave the appearance of their children deeply in their hearts. It wasn't until I saw them go away that they cried one by one.
"Don't cry, let's all go back." Xianxiao looked at the people beside him with red eyes, "So far, what else can we mothers ask for?" Although they will suffer a lot after leaving the palace, at least, the children can live well. ”
Everyone was speechless for a while, and each returned to the palace with red and swollen eyes with the support of the maid.
And after Nangong Meng got off the city tower, he returned to the Qingmeng Pavilion, leaning crookedly on the long collapse and was stunned. After a while, the little eunuch came to pass the word, and the Linglong concubine came.
Nangong Meng hurriedly sat up and walked to the courtyard to welcome the visiting Linglong.
"Why is my sister here?"
"Yesterday, I saw my sister so uncomfortable in the Buddha Hall, I wanted to come and see it, but thinking that the emperor was here, and the queen also sent the imperial doctor over, I didn't come to join in the fun, but I kept thinking about my sister in my heart. Today, I saw that my sister also went to the city tower in the morning, so it should be no big deal, and the stone in my heart just fell to the ground. Linglong took Nangong Meng's hand, "My sister really doesn't care about her body." ”
"Worried my sister. Actually, I came back yesterday and lay down to rest, and I have been fine. Nangong Meng and Linglong sat down in front of the long collapse, "I thought my sister was going to the queen to have a look." ”
"How dare I go? When I think of that scene, I feel sad, and I can only cry with them for a while when I go, what else can I help? Linglong sighed, "In the past, I always envied them for having their own emperors and their own dependents, but now it seems that it is better for me to have no children like this!" At least you don't have to send your child out of the river and feel uncomfortable. ”
"Yes, the queen must be sad at this moment. It is said that mother and son are connected, and it is cruel to break up their mother and son alive this time. ”
