17. Chapter 17
"The smiling concubine is such a good person!"
"Yes, if you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for? It's a pity that my father's heart was given to my mother, and I can only treat my mother well in this life. And the queen mother and the mother concubine are really sisters. The queen mother is simple, never deliberately competing for favor, and has been all favored by her father. And the mother concubine was generous, never caring about gains and losses, and won the trust and respect of her father. Although the queen mother is the queen, she has no interest in being in charge of the harem. The father naturally handed over the phoenix seal to his wife and smiled, and the mother concubine was in charge of the six palaces, which also greatly appeased the important ministers in the court. ”
It is also a fact that the mother's health is not good, and years of hard work have finally made her run out of oil at the age of thirty. My father searched all over the world for famous doctors and used up all kinds of high-quality medicinal materials, but he finally failed to bring the dead back to life. So, half a month ago, I was taken out of the Broken Intestine Cliff by an exception, returned to the palace, and saw the back side of my mother's concubine. ”
"So that's the case, I haven't seen you for two weeks, and Lord Chao only said that you went out on a mission." Nangong Meng patted Yu Wending's back, and his movements were extremely gentle.
"Back in Yueming Palace, I knelt in front of my mother's bed, held her hand, looked at her skinny appearance, and felt sad. The person who loves me the most in this harem is my mother, but why is she leaving? Yu Wending muttered to himself, "Why is God so cruel?" ”
"Ah Ding!" Nangong Meng felt that all languages were pale at this time.
"The concubine was sleeping in bed, but when she heard my voice, she opened her eyes and tried to sit up, and called me, 'Ding'er, are you back?!' The concubine has finally waited for you. Haojun and Ji Yue and I persuaded her to lie down, but she said, 'Ding'er, you have grown taller again, and you are becoming more and more like your mother.' When the mother saw her, she must have told her that our Ding'er has grown up, become handsome, and sensible. When I heard this, I could not stop weeping. ”
"'Silly boy, don't cry. How can the mother accompany you for a lifetime? Later, you have to learn to take care of yourselves. The concubine squeezed my hand weakly and looked tenderly at the three of us, whom she loved so much. 'Haojun, Jiyue, give me your hand. The concubine whispered, and when they held hands, the concubine laboriously put the hands of her two sons into my hands, and she said to me, 'Ding'er, you are the elder brother, and the two younger brothers will be handed over to you in the future.' Remember, the three of you are brothers, you must always love each other, and your mother will bless you in heaven. ’”
The three of us clasped hands tightly together and wept so hard that we couldn't say anything but nod desperately. The palace maids and eunuchs in the Yueming Palace all knelt on the ground, sobbing constantly. 'Live well, Mother loves you!' The concubine took the three of us by the hand, finished the last sentence with all her might, smiled, and closed her eyes forever. ”
"Ah Ding, people can't be resurrected after death, don't be too sad. Your mother and queen mother must want to see you smiling and living happily in heaven! Nangong Meng wept while comforting Yu Wending.
In the midst of a wailing, my father came. I inadvertently looked up at him, and I felt that his heart should have been torn apart. 'Laugh! The father called out the name of the concubine, threw himself in front of the bed, and picked up the woman who had been with him for fifteen years. ”
