"Yes." Ji Tongying lowered her eyes and responded.

As soon as the words fell, the meager smile on the imperial concubine's face disappeared with the flicker of the candlelight. Her gaze crossed Ji Tongying's shoulder, and landed far behind, and her voice was deep and low: "Ah Tong, you are confused." ”

Ji Tongying only felt her eyelids jump, and her heart palpitated slightly.

She was used to hearing her mother call her Huihe, but she hadn't heard her call herself by her name for a long time. At this moment, I suddenly heard the words, and I gasped unconsciously. She knew that this matter was difficult, so she secretly struggled for a long time before she dared to quietly reveal something to her mother first. But I never thought that the mother's reaction would be like this.

She sniffed the faint scent of roses coming from her mother's body, bit her lip and said softly, "Mother's ......"

The imperial concubine's body in a gorgeous costume fell back, and her hair was tinkling. She closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and scolded, "You are messing around! ”

The girl is pregnant, there is nothing to blame, but if the other party is someone who shouldn't think about it, it is a big mistake. Since he is the nephew of the Song family, the imperial concubine can have a good impression of him just by this point, but the son of Song Yanzhao was born to a foreign woman, not a native of Xiyue. That alone is enough to show that this is a terrible mistake.

The eldest princess of Xiyue married a foreign man, how does the world think of it?

She reprimanded and was still incomprehensible, frowned tightly, and asked Ji Tongying sharply: "Your father is not optimistic about the left and the right, do you expect him to agree now?" You are in the royal family, and the responsibility on your shoulders is not comparable to that of ordinary girls and young ladies. ”

Where would Ji Tongying not know these things in her heart, how could she be willing to be born in the emperor's family.

She knelt down in front of the imperial concubine suddenly. He kowtowed heavily and said categorically: "Mother, the son's mind has been decided." ”

Now the country is safe and secure. There is no need for her, the princess, to go to the country and leave home in exchange for peace and tranquility, and it doesn't matter who her colt is.

The imperial concubine was angry when she heard this, and stared down at her, feeling sorry in her heart.

She never believed in the word "fate", but to this day, God is forcing her to believe it. Many years ago. She secretly admired Song Yanzhao, looked at him from afar, and hid him firmly in her heart. But she knew it from the beginning. The Bai family would never agree to marry her to the Song family.

The Song family has nothing but money.

Such a person, in the eyes of the Bai family, is just a layman who is covered in copper stench. Unable to give the Bai family the power they wanted. Nature. Money and wealth are expensive, and the Bai family also wants it. But if you want to exchange her, it's not worth it.

From the day she found out that she was interested in Song Yanzhao, she couldn't have thought more clearly about her future at the same time.

They are destined to be inseparable, so why bother themselves.

However, many years later, her only daughter knelt down in front of her and told her that she wanted to marry Song Yanzhao's son-

It's not a bad fate. And what is it?

The imperial concubine smiled bitterly almost inaudibly.

The daughter kneeling in front of her at this moment is completely different from her temperament. I'm afraid that I won't listen to it.

The imperial concubine looked tired, and she didn't lean over to help her, but only sighed faintly. In the quiet night, this long sigh lingered, and it did not go around the beam.

After a while, Ji Tongying still knelt in place, lowered her head and confided her decision in her heart word by word: "Mother, my son is moved, I am afraid that I will not be able to marry someone else in this life." ”

After speaking, no one spoke for a long time.

The candle flame "crackled" and gently exploded a spark, and the light flickered, leaving a large obscure shadow on the face of the imperial concubine.

She reached out and pressed her forehead tightly and suddenly, Huo Di pulled out the inkstone on the bookcase, and the half-congealed ink in it spilled on the ground, sparsely splashing on Ji Tongying's skirt, like a cloud of dark blood stains over the years.

I am afraid that I will not be able to marry someone else in this life!

She was telling her that if this didn't work out, she would never marry.

The imperial concubine laughed angrily, closed her eyes and didn't look at her, and said weakly: "He has no merit and fame, the second is not from a noble background, and the third is a foreigner." Such a person, how can you promise you that you are called the concubine? How will your father answer? The princess married a foreign commoner, and since the founding of the country in Western Vietnam, how has such a precedent been set? ”

This precedent is absolutely unprecedented.

Ji Tongying kneeled to her feet, rested her head on her lap, and her face turned pale. After being silent for a long time, she finally asked, "Mother, have you been happy for so many years?" ”

It's been a long time since I've seen a really relaxed smile on my mother's face, and Ji Tongying can't remember it.

The imperial concubine lowered her head to look at her, with a sad expression, gently stroked the black hair on the top of her head, and bent her lips and smiled: "Happy or unhappy, it has never been the final word of the concubine." ”

When she was still a boudoir girl, she had to give up everything to marry in Kyoto because of her family.

After King Duan ascended the throne and became the emperor, she had to control the proportions and climb for power, just because there was a Bai clan behind her.

There are a few of these people who can really live for themselves.

She can't, her daughter, born powerless to change.

The imperial concubine's subordinates used some force slightly, and pulled a strand of hair from the top of Ji Tongying's head.

Ji Tongying subconsciously exhaled in pain.

The imperial concubine's jade-like fingers pinched this jet-black hair, and said in a low voice: "Many things are difficult to say, but they are not difficult. ”

"According to the mother's concubine, that role model is very good." The imperial concubine gently stuffed the hair in her hand into Ji Tongying's palm, "The age is right, the family background is innocent, and the person is kind but not dull, it's really good." You have a good temperament, and with such a colt by your side, the mother concubine can rest assured. ”

As she spoke, she changed the topic and said, "The concubine knows that you like Nanzhu, so she specially asked people to replace all the floral patterns on the hem of the robe with Nanzhu to fight, and the appearance is also excellent." Only the palace uses more Chunlan and autumn chrysanthemum pictures, but the mother thinks that pomegranate flowers are better......"

She whispered, but Ji Tongying only looked up at her, as if she hadn't heard it.

No matter how delicate and gorgeous the wedding dress is, if you can't wear it to marry the person you love, it will only be like a dead and decayed body, and it will wither.

The brilliance in Ji Tongying's eyes gradually dimmed.

She had known for a long time, and when she stepped into her mother's palace, she knew that this matter would not come to fruition. She naturally knows that her mother cherishes and pampers herself, but her marriage has to be opened by her father in the end. If she stabbed Shu Yan in front of her father's eyes, it was difficult to guarantee that her father would not kill him.

At that time, I am afraid that the entire Song family and Aman's family will be affected by her.

"Mother ......" she hugged the waist of the imperial concubine, and suddenly tears rained down.

The imperial concubine only thought that she had figured it out, sighed and hugged her tightly, and comforted her softly.

That night, Ji Tongying rested in the palace of the imperial concubine, cried for most of the night, and fell asleep after nearly three minutes.

The imperial concubine woke up early the next morning.

She burned the letter that was originally going to be sent to the Song family, went to pack up and settle it, changed her ordinary clothes, changed her appearance, went out of the palace in person, and went straight to the Song family.

A black-maned horse pulls a nondescript tarpaulin cart along Suzaku Avenue all the way north.

In the small mansion in Beicheng in the early morning, the Song family had also gotten up, waiting for the reply from the palace in their hearts.

At the moment of the solstice, Yuzi suddenly lifted the curtain and came in, and hurriedly reported: "Madam, there is a distinguished guest here!" ”

Song was startled, but he was puzzled in his heart: "Is it Yin Gong?" ”

"It's the imperial concubine who is here." Yuzi hurriedly shook her head, leaned closer and whispered.

Song was taken aback, and immediately panicked.

She only wrote a letter, why was she tired of going out of the palace in person?

The group hurried forward and welcomed the people in. The imperial concubine was busy so that everyone didn't have to be like this, just as ordinary relatives came to walk around. She affectionately took Song's arm, looked at her eyes carefully, and asked carefully: "Are you all right?" ”

"Take a few more pills, and you'll be completely fine." Song also responded one by one.

The atmosphere was a little more relaxed, and the imperial concubine asked about Xie Yi's brothers and sisters.

The Song family was busy asking people to call a few children to come to see them, and the imperial concubine listened with a smile, and before anyone came, she quietly withdrew the maid and the woman with the Song family, and talked about what she was going to tell the Song family in the letter.

The two of them were talking in full swing, and when they came outside, Xie Shuning arrived.

The imperial concubine was like an aunt, she knew them all well, and she came quietly, so she didn't need to pay much attention to the rules, so she immediately sent a message to let them in.

Several people saw her and saluted in unison.

Xie Shuning was born well, and Qi Shushu stood in a row like this, looking very pleasing to the eye, and everyone was happy to see it. The imperial concubine kept laughing, but her eyes couldn't help but look at the face of the young man who was born in her eyes.

At a glance, she recognized it.

Song Yanzhao's son really has the shadow of his father.

Song introduced on the side: "This is my eldest brother's only son, Shu Yan. ”

"Born like a mother?" The imperial concubine smiled and bowed her head, turned her head and asked the Song family. Although he can see at a glance that he is Song Yanzhao's son, his eyebrows, eyes and facial features are not very similar to his father's.

With a high nose and deep eyes, his facial features are extremely handsome, but he has a kind of deep toughness that is different from that of Western Vietnamese men.

Song smiled: "It's more like my sister-in-law." ”

The blood of aliens seems to be particularly prominent.

The imperial concubine didn't say anything more, and her eyes swept over Shu Yan's blue eyes. She just wanted to come and see in person what the person her daughter's heart wanted was like, or there was another way to solve this matter. But when Shu Yan's eyes, which were completely different from those of the Western Yue, appeared in front of her, she knew that this matter was a foregone conclusion.

Whether she is or Huihe, they have no fate with the men of the Song family.

She sighed secretly in her heart.

After a while, a few children dispersed, and only the imperial concubine was left in the room to talk to the Song family.

The imperial concubine saw Shu Yan and made up her mind, so she didn't think about it anymore, and only talked carefully about the Yan family's family affairs with the Song family. (To be continued......)
