Chapter 233: Moonlight Like Water (One Shift)
The moonlight was like water, clear, and Qi Haoning's heart was as cold as the bright moon.
The clear moonlight is full of a moist sorrow, like a slow flowing water, a silent flow, and a trembling feeling is faint, so the moonlight spreads all over the entire courtyard of the post station, falling on the body, caged in the heart, with a different kind of melancholy......
Yunxiao took a black brocade cloak and draped it on Qi Haoning: "Master, it's still very cold at night, you can rest early, you have to hurry tomorrow." ”
Qi Haoning said "um": "You guys go to sleep first, I'll stand for a while, the moonlight is so good tonight." ”
Yunxiao shook his head helplessly, helped Qi Haoning make the bed, and retreated to the outer room. The prince has been coaxed by Concubine Zhao for so many years, and he is depressed, right? Concubine Zhao still wanted to stuff people over, it was really ...... It's so angry and funny! Ye is no longer the withdrawn teenager who is at her mercy.
Three days ago, the night before Qi Haoning was about to leave, Concubine Zhao took Qi Yuexin and Qi Haoxiang to Qi Haoning's courtyard and staged a "Mother's Tale".
As soon as Concubine Zhao entered the door, she said in a panic: "Ning'er, are you going to the south?" There are a lot of pirates and thieves in Yuecheng, no, it's so dangerous, you can't go Ning'er! ”
Qi Haoning put down the pen in his hand and smiled: "Dangerous? It's not like I've never encountered it in this world. Besides, this is my father's request, Concubine Zhao, you have to persuade your father? ”
Concubine Zhao choked, how could she persuade the prince? The prince let her preside over the feed because she was the first princess's cousin and loved and took care of Qi Haoning, but he never mentioned the matter of straightening, and never took her "pillow wind" seriously. If you talk too much, you will even stare at her with a suspicious eye. Let her involuntarily feel weak.
After the prince went to the southwest. The letters were all addressed to Qi Haoning and Qi Yueling's brothers and sisters, and occasionally gave her two sentences, but they only hastily reported her safety, asking her to take care of her family and take care of her children.
She figured out many years ago that even if her cousin died, she couldn't take her place. So, plan for your mother and son. Only on her own.
She has been taking advantage of Qi Haoning's trust in herself, preparing to raise him disabled, and at the same time borrowing his hand to push her children, and then the position of the prince and the palace of Prince Yong will be Qi Haoxiang's. A person like Prince Yong would never pass on the position of prince to an incompetent and withdrawn and irascible gentleman.
Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother was very vigilant, and issued an edict to take away the deeds of sale of everyone in Qi Haoning's courtyard, and handed over all the things in the courtyard to the former princess's personal maid Luo's mother. Although she is in charge of the middle feed, the minions in Qi Haoning's courtyard do not buy her account, and she does not dare to deduct their monthly money, because the Queen Mother will summon Luo's mother into the palace from time to time.
As Qi Haoning grew up, she found that his "teachings" to her were no longer so unquestionably accepted. In addition, the queen mother and the emperor have never forgotten Qi Haoning, and they have to sneak away every once in a while to ask questions and take a test. Her "disability plan" is getting more and more difficult.
Concubine Zhao was afraid that Qi Haoning would become more and more difficult to control when he grew up, so she moved her murderous intentions and took advantage of the opportunity for him to sneak to the southwest to buy the murderer. As long as Qi Haoning is dead, and the Queen Mother can't look down on the eldest young master born by Concubine Tian, can she still not pay attention to her Qi Haoxiang?
Unexpectedly, the so-called top killer didn't kill Qi Haoning, but he died. And Qi Haoning's attitude towards their mother and son has changed unexpectedly, he used to call her "Aunt Qian", but now she is a cold "Concubine Zhao", and what did the Queen Mother say, he has grown up, and the etiquette cannot be abolished......
She could almost feel that Qi Haoning knew the truth.
But Qi Haoning didn't show any excesses, but was just cold and indifferent to them, so that she couldn't explore.
Concubine Zhao didn't want Qi Haoning to go to the south, she didn't know the bottom of her heart if she wasn't under her nose, and Qi Haoning's father, son, brother and sister were not in the mansion, so Prince Yong's mansion, she and her children had really become a forgotten corner.
Of course, it was useless for her to speak, so she could only let Qi Haoning beg the queen mother, the emperor, and the prince by herself. Right now...... Qi Haoning asked her if she was going to persuade the prince?
"I ......" If she could talk about the prince, she would have killed this little slut who blocked her son's way.
"Second brother, the imperial grandmother loves you the most, you go to beg the imperial grandmother and the imperial uncle, they should not get up. Second brother, my father is so far away, there is nothing you can do if you don't go. Qi Yuexin pulled Qi Haoning's sleeve and coquettishly, the mother concubine said, only the second brother can help her ask the imperial grandmother for a good family matter, the second brother went to the south, and I don't know when Lu Dao will come back, what should she do?
Qi Haoning's heart hurt, how could he think that this sister was delicate and close to him before?
One hand seemed to inadvertently brush off Qi Yuexin's hand that grabbed his sleeve, and Qi Haoning's voice was extremely cold and incompatible with his age: "Concubine Zhao should take care to teach the eldest sister, if this word spreads......"
Concubine Zhao was shocked, she was thinking that Qi Yuexin was smart, and only then did she realize that if these words came out, would Qi Yuexin still want to marry?
Glancing at Mother Luo, Yunxiao, and the two maids waiting in the house, Concubine Zhao ordered: "You all go out, give me a tighter mouth, like ......" Suddenly, she saw the mockery on the corner of Qi Haoning's mouth, and ...... Luo's mother and the others remained motionless, without a trace of panic on their faces.
Concubine Zhao's body trembled, how could she forget that the people in this courtyard didn't listen to her at all.
Qi Yuexin and Qi Haoxiang were also frightened by Qi Haoning's cold tone and the ridicule on their faces, and quietly hid behind their mother concubine. The second brother has really changed, it wasn't like this before! In the past, he listened to his mother's words very much, and loved their sisters and brothers very much, as long as Qi Yuexin was coquettish like just now, the second brother would respond with a big smile, at most: "You girl has a lot of ideas!" ”
"Okay, Concubine Zhao, please go back, I have to leave early tomorrow morning, and I have to rest early tonight." After all, Qi Haoning is only a fifteen-year-old boy, not good at acting, and for so many years, he has really regarded the mother and son as close relatives, and now it is really difficult to restrain his anger in the face of them, which is also one of the reasons why Prince Yong wants him to leave the capital.
Concubine Zhao secretly took a few deep breaths and stared at Qi Haoning tightly. It seemed like he wanted to see something in his face. Someone who grew up in front of her for so many years. suddenly became so strange, the face that was still childish, but cold at the moment was incomprehensible.
finally forced herself to restore her "loving and reluctant" smile, Concubine Zhao said: "Xin'er is just reluctant to you, where does she not know that the order of her father cannot be violated?" How can you go so far alone, and no one knows how to take care of it? Aunt Qian is really not at ease. Well, Aunt Qian has found you a flexible and sensible big girl, you can take her with you, and someone will serve you closely. Rouer. In. ”
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl walked in at the door, with bright eyes and bright teeth, skin like a shelled egg, a slender waist like a weak willow supporting the wind, and a well-developed chest standing tall.
"Rou'er has seen the prince of the world" The maid's voice is also beautiful, like a yellow warbler out of the valley, and her eyes are still "timidly" floating towards Qi Haoning when she salutes, infinitely tempting.
Mother Luo, who was half-hanging her head, glanced at Qi Haoning worriedly, the prince had just turned fifteen years old, what was the intention of Concubine Zhao to bring a fox to the side of the prince? This courtyard has to pass through the Queen Mother's nod. Concubine Zhao actually wanted to take advantage of this time to stuff people around the prince?
Qi Haoning's face became even colder: "Father said, I'm going to exercise." It's not to enjoy the blessings, even Luo's mother won't let me take it. What's more, how can such a maid appear in the military camp? I heard General Hai Yong say that only after a great victory will some young women be released into the camp of the soldiers, and those are military prostitutes registered with the government. ”
Rou'er's bumpy body immediately trembled, and she looked at Concubine Zhao pleadingly, this prince is not very old, but her eyes are too terrible, she doesn't want to be a military prostitute.
Concubine Zhao hurriedly said: "Why are you the same?" You are the prince of Yong, who dares to ......"
Qi Haoning interrupted her words with a wave of his hand: "Uncle Huang asked me to follow General Haiyong, starting as a soldier, but he didn't give me any privileges, do I listen to Uncle Huang or Concubine Zhao?" ”
Of course...... "Listen to the emperor, what is she an unfavored prince and concubine?"
No, it's not that simple! She didn't believe that there were no maids in General Haiyong's mansion.
Even if Qi Haoning started as a soldier and often had to stay in the barracks, General Haiyong would definitely prepare another residence for him in his general's mansion or outside, where was it so harsh?
Qi Haoning's words, deeds, and reactions tonight were simply guarding against her, what did he know? Concubine Zhao felt that if she guessed like this, she would go crazy. But she didn't dare to make a big fuss, if that thing really opened, she still had her life?
No, it can't be, Concubine Zhao thought about it for a while, and firmly denied it. As for Qi Haoning's quick temper, if he really knew the truth, he would have settled accounts with her a long time ago. It should just be a suspicion through some clues! The Queen Mother has always guarded against her, and she is always influencing Qi Haoning.
Concubine Zhao really hates, her cousin is a concubine, she is also a concubine, her appearance and temperament are so inferior to her cousin? Why is her cousin a treasure and a good daughter-in-law in the eyes of the prince and the queen mother, but she is grass, and even her children are not valued? Aren't they the blood and bones of the prince?
I was thinking about whether to ask, "For what?" Or, "What's wrong with you?" Concubine Zhao heard Qi Haoning say coldly again: "Mother Luo, after I leave, except for the people in this courtyard, no one else is allowed to enter this courtyard, if you have any questions, you can go to the imperial grandmother." ”
Concubine Zhao shut up smartly, she knew that the suspicion in Qi Haoning's heart must have been tied in a big knot, and if she continued to entangle, if it was a big trouble, it would really prompt the queen mother and the emperor to investigate the truth. It's better to let it go first, she still adopts the earliest strategy, cares more about him, let him restore his trust in her, and let time fade Qi Haoning's suspicions. Of course, it would be better if Qi Haoning could die in Yuecheng.
……
Standing by the window for a long time, the moonlight was still like water, in this not so dark night, Qi Haoning, who was turning a thousand times in his heart, slowly calmed down, in fact, he should be glad that he shouldn't be? Didn't continue to be blinded. That chase, although it almost took his life, made him awaken, hehe, he was able to wake up alive, and he couldn't help but thank the little girl who winked at him.
The bright moonlight smiles in the sky...... (To be continued......)
