Chapter Twenty-Eight: Parting and Reluctance

"Your life since you were a child, Xiao Yao is taking care of and taking care of it, and I feel more relieved that she will go with you. Besides, Xiao Yao has been by my side since she followed me into the palace, and she has never left Tingxue Xuan for more than ten years. It's time for her to have a life of her own, and I can't delay her. ”

"Okay, since I have already decided on this matter, it is my consideration, so you don't want to continue arguing. You go and rest first, and stop your homework for the past two days. When my mother said this, her tone was still the same cold. But between the words, it is rare to reveal the mother's love that has never been expressed publicly.

Mother's words made Huang Qiong's heart warm involuntarily. Although over the years, he also knew that this mother had always cared about him. Although more often than not, the mother is more like a strict teacher. But Huang Qiong knew that it was just that she couldn't express it, or she was not good at expressing it. In her heart, she cares for herself no less than any other mother.

It has been thirteen years since I returned to this era. The thirteen years of mutual affection have made Huang Qiong regard this mother as her biological mother for a long time. Huang Qiong himself served his parents to filial piety in his later life, and in the past thirteen years, he has put his thoughts about his parents in later generations on this mother.

Although I don't know why I came back from the dead and came to this strange era. But after all, he has now occupied the magpie's nest and occupied the body of other people's sons. In Huang Qiong's subconscious, she thinks that since she occupies the body of other people's sons, she should take the place of the person who has taken possession of her body and take good care of other people's parents.

And his father in this life, as the supreme ruler of a huge empire, has a large group of eunuchs and palace maids around him, and nearly 20 brothers and sisters, large and small, naturally does not need to be deliberately filial. Only the hard-working woman in front of her is the object of her filial piety.

What's more, this mother is not only a mother for him, but also his teacher. The talent of this mother makes Huang Qiong admire it even more, and sometimes she even treats it as an idol. Although she has been a human for two lifetimes, Huang Qiong has never been in contact with such a versatile and intelligent woman.

Huang Qiong even thought more than once that if she put this mother in her previous life, she would definitely be an out-and-out strong woman. It's just a pity that some of them were born at the wrong time. Throughout China's thousands of years of history, there is only one Wu Zetian. Even in the former Tang Dynasty, where the atmosphere was the most open, even if women were talented, most of them could only teach their husbands and children at home.

Raising her head, Huang Qiong looked at her mother and said with a smile: "My son is not tired, my son is about to leave the palace." In the future, he can't stay with his mother for a long time, and the son wants to spend more time with his mother these days. "Even though I was looking forward to living out of the palace before, but when it was really time to leave, Huang Qiong was really reluctant to live here.

Seeing the trace of dependence on her son's face when he looked at him, even if he had a cold personality, his mother was somewhat hot in her heart: "Okay, you can play a game of chess with me today." We haven't played chess for a long time, so I'll see if your chess skills have regressed. ”

When Huang Qiong heard this, she hurriedly took the chessboard and chess pieces, and accompanied her mother to play Go. In the days before leaving the palace, Huang Qiong didn't do anything. Just quietly accompanied her mother, or accompanied her mother to play chess, or when her mother was writing and drawing, she was quietly accompanying her.

Although her mother usually behaved casually when it came to Huang Qiong's departure from the palace. But Huang Qiong knows that her mother's heart is far from being as plain as she appears on the surface. On the last night before leaving the palace, when he woke up in the middle of the night, he found that his mother was just in front of his bed, and did not wake him up, but just sat there and watched him quietly.

found that the mother, who had always been alert but was in a trance at this time, rarely did not find that she had woken up this time. Huang Qiong hurriedly closed her eyes and pretended to continue to sleep. When her mother left early in the morning, Huang Qiong, who dared to open her eyes, inadvertently touched the bedding next to the bed that was wet with tears.

Touching the quilt wet with tears, Huang Qiong couldn't help but sigh for a long time. At this moment, Huang Qiong knew how much weight her unpopular son had in her mother's heart. Mother is not born cold, she is also a person with feelings, and she loves herself no less than any other mother.

Time is a strange thing, when you want him to go faster, he is often very slow, and when you want him to go slower, you feel that he is running fast. Three days is really not a long time, no matter how long Huang Qiong hopes that these three days will pass, but the time to come will still come.

Just in the thirteenth year after Huang Qiong returned to this era, that is, on the morning of the fourth day since his last face, the previous time he came to deliver the edict to Gonggong Gao with more than a dozen eunuchs, he came to Tingxue Xuan again. In addition to announcing to Huang Qiong's mother and son that Jin named Huang Qiong as the king of Hejian County, and rewarded the Teng Wangfu as his Hejian County Palace, another thing was to help Huang Qiong move.

In fact, Huang Qiong's luggage is very limited, except for a limited number of clothes, most of them are books, and there is really nothing to take care of. And these books, Huang Qiong's Aunt Yao has already been sorted out and packed according to his reading habits. Those eunuchs pretended to be busy, but they just wanted to avoid Huang Qiong's mother and son, and avoid the questioning of Huang Qiong's mother and son.

Obviously, after Huang Qiong met her father for the first time in this era, the matter of their mother and son had spread throughout the palace. Most of these eunuchs knew a little bit about the rumors. I know that this Nine Emperor Prince, who has never heard of it before, the mother of the newly sealed King of Hejian County, has offended the prince's mother and son in the early years is not ordinary.

And these eunuchs not only knew about this matter, but also knew that the person in the East Palace was not open-minded at the moment. It doesn't matter if you offend the new county king, anyway, from the legendary background of his life, he can neither become a crown prince nor an emperor. At most, I will go to the feudal domain for another three years, and when I return to Beijing, there will be fewer times.

But if you offend the prince who is already the prince of a country, and basically become the crown prince of the next emperor, then you don't know how to die. You know, the prince pinched these little people to death, just like pinching an ant to death. For the sake of your own life, it's better to be careful.

The so-called many words will be lost, in case you say something wrong and reach the ears of the prince, then you will be unlucky. Who knows how many of these companions around him are the prince's eyeliner? There was a time before, after a county prince entered the crown prince, when he was about to leave the palace, the prince's mother only asked a few more words, and only two of them related to the prince.

The eunuch who was in the middle of the matter was given a live rod that night under an excuse that was not an excuse. It is said that the order was given by the crown prince himself. With such a lesson from the past, where do these eunuchs dare to repeat the mistakes of the past? So they all pretended to be very busy to avoid the questioning of Huang Qiong's mother and son.

In fact, these eunuchs think too much, whether they are really busy or fake busy, then in their eyes, they have offended the prince to the end, and there is no one to care about them at all. From the beginning to the end, no one asked them even a word.

Seeing that Gonggong Gao commanded the eunuch and moved out all his luggage, Huang Qiong turned around and kowtowed three respectfully to her mother, and said with tears in her eyes: "Mother, my son is going out of the palace." In the future, my son will not be able to stay with you all the time, so I hope you will take care of your health. ”

Facing her son, who can be said to have grown up completely, standing up much taller than herself, and looking very sad because of the imminent separation, Huang Qiong's mother was greatly moved even if her temperament was weak. It's just that the cold personality that has been cultivated all year round makes the emotion in her eyes just fleeting.

After helping Huang Qiong, who was kneeling on the ground, her mother gently pulled Huang Qiong's hand and said, "You are also older, and you have your own ideas." Today, I, as a mother, am finally sending you a word: the shape is not existed, and the square inch is accepted. There is forbearance, it is helpful, and there is tolerance and virtue. We must be open-minded and tolerant. ”

"You have to think twice about everything you do outside, think twice before you act, and don't act recklessly. When you encounter something, discuss it with your Aunt Yao. Don't worry about me in your heart, isn't there a day of province every month before you are a vassal? At that time, our mother and son will still meet, why are you so sad? ”

patted Huang Qiong's hand, and her mother turned to Chen Yao, who had been by Huang Qiong's side, and said, "Xiao Yao, from today on, I will hand over Qiong'er to you." It's not so much that I've been taking care of him all these years, but that you're more appropriate. You know this child's heart better than I do. From now on, you should supervise and supervise him more, and think twice before doing anything. ”

After giving a final explanation to Chen Yao, her mother turned her gaze to the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and never looked back at Huang Qiong behind her.

Looking at his mother's back, there was once again a word in his ears that he had been standing there quietly after listening to Xue Xuan and announcing the holy decree, and kept urging him to go to the emperor to thank him. Huang Qiong gritted her teeth and said to her mother, who was not looking at her: "Mother, take care, my son is out of the palace." ”

It's just that when Huang Qiong walked out of the door, she stopped again, and tears couldn't stop flowing. Just as Huang Qiong knelt down and kowtowed to her mother again through the door, a long sigh came from her mother in the room: "Qiong'er, you promise your mother, no matter what happens, you must live well." ”

Hearing her mother's voice containing too much emotion and reluctant sighs, Huang Qiong stood up and walked towards the former residence where the door had been closed, although her voice was still a little unstoppable, but she said in a firm tone: "Please rest assured that my son will live well." With that, he turned around and strode away without looking back.

Leaving Tingxue Xuan, he looked indifferently at the senior father-in-law after arranging someone to send his poor luggage back to his new home. According to the so-called custom, Huang Qiong, who came to Wende Hall again and was ready to thank his emperor Lao Tzu. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the Wende Palace, he saw the prince who was already waiting here.

Seeing the crown prince standing beside the emperor, with a somewhat impatient expression on his face after seeing him, Huang Qiong knew that he had probably been waiting here for a while. Seeing the emperor and the crown prince, Huang Qiong didn't say anything, but just bowed according to the system: "The son has seen his father and the prince." ”
