The emperor, who suddenly felt that he had a great interest in this son, raised his head to look at Huang Qiong, but shifted the topic to Huang Qiong's mother and said, "Is your mother well?" Her personality is still so light, she doesn't care about anything except reading every day? ”

Hearing that the emperor in front of him suddenly mentioned his mother, and in a tone that he thought he knew very well, Huang Qiong secretly pursed his lips in his heart. Xin said: "You are really bad at being a husband, my mother has been a husband and wife with you for a few years." You don't know your wife so much. ”

"As for your wife, I don't know if you don't care about the rest. Anyway, I've almost been tossed over the years, and I've almost lost my life a few times. Also, she has never taken it to heart to the old man who almost took your life and your country. If she wants your life, at least no one in this palace can stop her. ”

Thinking of this, Huang Qiong was suddenly a little stunned. Except for the incident when he went out of the palace, it seems that his mother has never mentioned her father to herself over the years. Even when I mentioned it back then, I didn't even comment on a single extra word, except for a sentence that was a little rigid and self-serving.

In the past ten years, I have asked once or twice, and my mother has always kept silent except for occasional distractions. With his mother's skills and medical skills, even if his grandfather used a little trick back then, he could easily have a round house with his father. After my grandfather died, who could stop my mother from leaving the palace?

Even if she has herself, it is easy for her mother to leave with her. Even for the sake of his uncles, who were not in his mother's mouth, his mother was helping herself, the emperor, stabilize the government, and she could be regarded as fulfilling the agreement at that time.

Since this old man is the Son of Heaven, even if his mother is gone, he should not regret it easily. With his mother's ability, since he was able to put forward this agreement at the beginning, then he must have a backhand to make his father unable to, or dare not go back.

Otherwise, she is a weak woman in the inner palace, if the emperor really repents, she has no choice, right? Although Huang Qiong has never known what these backhands are, in terms of her mother's impermeable personality, Huang Qiong would rather believe that there is. This means that even if his mother leaves, his father will not easily regret it.

The mother, who can easily leave at any time, just stayed in the cold palace, what does the spring and autumn of the whole eighteen years mean to a woman? Even if a person with a weak temperament is afraid it will be difficult to persevere. You must know that even if her mother takes herself out of the palace in these years, it is not that she has no other choice, which Huang Qiong is quite sure.

Of course, if you want to know something from your mother's mouth, unless she takes the initiative to bring it up, it can only be wishful thinking. But once when Huang Qiong woke up in her sleep, when she heard Aunt Yao and her mother who took care of her life whispering, she once mentioned that with her mother's status in some aspects, why do you have to suffer in this palace, and even suffer yourself?

Although her mother did not answer at the time, Huang Qiong was convinced of Aunt Yao's words. Because every time his mother took him out of the palace, he never felt embarrassed when he should spend money. And with my mother's skills and intelligence, I guess no matter where I go, I won't be poor. But my mother stayed in that cold palace and insisted on it for so long.

Thinking of this, Huang Qiong faintly felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Raising his head and looking at the ordinary-looking emperor in front of him, Huang Qiong frowned as little as possible, he really couldn't see anything that attracted his mother.

Seeing his son, he didn't immediately answer his question, and looked at himself in a daze, Huang Qiong's emperor Lao Tzu was very dissatisfied. wanted to get angry, but when he thought of this son's experience, he finally raised his hand that wanted to shoot the case, and quietly let it go.

Fortunately, the father-in-law next to him was more clever, and when he saw that Huang Qiong did not answer, he was stunned, and hurriedly coughed to remind Huang Qiong. Huang Qiong, who heard the coughing sound, hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you father for your concern, my mother is still in good health." In addition to teaching his son to read every day, he reads and practices calligraphy by himself, and when he is in a good mood, he will also pull his son to play a game. ”

"It's good to be in good health, your mother is indifferent to everything." Hearing Huang Qiong's reply, the emperor nodded and looked at Huang Qiong again, and after a deep sigh, he said: "According to the ancestral system of Great Qi, the prince was crowned the king of the county at the age of three, the prince was crowned the prince at the age of thirteen, and he was married at the age of twenty-one. ”

"Although you didn't grow up with me, you are a prince and a nobleman after all. As soon as you land, your identity is there. Now you are too old to live in the palace. In this way, I will first crown you as the king of Hejian County, and when you get married, I will enter your princely title. ”

"Although according to the ancestral system, you should be promoted to the prince at your current age. But you didn't go through the county king, and it is not fair to the other brothers to be crowned the prince directly, and it will also cause a certain amount of criticism in the court. I will press you for two years, and when you are a vassal, I will promote you to the title and choose a good domain for you. ”

"I left you with your mother, only thinking about the love between husband and wife, and did not take into account the relationship between father and son, and I have suffered you for so many years. When you become a vassal, I will make it back to you. I also hope that you can understand my painstaking efforts and don't complain about me in private. ”

"As for your place of residence after leaving the palace and before you took office, I have also thought about it. Your sixth brother, King Teng, just became a vassal a few years ago, and his palace in the capital was also vacated, so I will give you a mansion there. You go back and prepare first, and the decree to leave the palace will come to you in three days. ”

Huang Qiong didn't care about the emperor's words. Although his own emperor Lao Tzu, this move is somewhat favoritism. But Huang Qiong doesn't pay much attention to what title he will give. Whether it is the prince or the prince of the county, it doesn't matter to him.

As for what the emperor said, he only cared about the love of husband and wife and forgot the love between father and son, Huang Qiong didn't want to make more comments in addition to raising his middle finger in his heart. Because in his feeling, the emperor's words were purely pretending to be sensational, and others probably didn't know the truth except for the emperor himself.

It's just a belly discussion, but there are some things that should be done or still have to be done, Huang Qiong still made a big gift in accordance with the rules to express her gratitude: "The thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, how can the son complain about his father?" What's more, there are parents in the world. It's just that the son has one thing, and he begs his father for permission. ”

"The son grew up with his mother in Tingxue Xuan since he was a child, and he has been dependent on his mother all these years. Although the cold palace years were lonely and lonely in the past, after all, he was accompanied by his son. Although the mother's personality is plain, she has a son to talk to. When the son left the palace, only the mother was left even more lonely. ”

"Now my mother has no relatives in the capital except for her son. Because of our mother-son status, other people are afraid of us, and no one will enter the palace to talk to their mother. The son pleaded with his father to allow the son to take his mother to live in the palace to live in the palace. The mother's throne has been abolished, and she is no longer a member of the palace. ”

"It can't be." Huang Qiong's request, the emperor refused directly without thinking. First of all, the dynasties have never heard that the prince lives outside the palace, and the mother can live with the son. The system set by the ancestors also does not allow this to happen. This is not a matter of abolition or abolition, one day is a person from heaven, and a person from heaven for life.

If it is allowed this time, what will happen to the other sons who have made the concubines of the prince and the prince of the county? Especially those older concubines who are no longer favored by themselves, they have to go out of the palace and live with their sons, isn't it a mess. What's more, although the King of Huaiyang County is dead, his huge family has also been wiped out.

However, the intertwined forces that he established in the Great Qi Army have not been cleared up because of the current situation. Although some people are forced to submit to the imperial court, they can't completely guarantee how much they really surrender in their hearts. Although he has been purging without a trace over the years, there are times when even he, the king of a country, has to compromise.

These people look fine on weekdays, and if the mother and son are all out of the palace, I'm afraid that some people's ambitions will also fluctuate. I know the character of my ex-wife, and if she was really ambitious, she wouldn't wait until today. But after all, the son had not yet been born, and he didn't have any thoughts.

But now that this son has grown up, if her mind has really changed, with her mind and ability, I am afraid that it will be difficult for her, the king of a country, to suppress it. Therefore, whether it is public or private, Huang Qiong's mother must not live in the palace with him, and she can't agree to this request no matter what.

Just seeing the son beside him, with a stubborn expression on his face, the emperor pondered for a moment and said: "You know, this is an ancestral system, and there is no precedent in all dynasties. Therefore, I will not be able to grant you this request. However, in your filial piety, I promise you to add one more day to the province every month, and you can also hand over a sign to visit your mother if you have something to do. ”

"In addition, I have the wall outside Tingxue Xuan demolished, and the West Garden, where Tingxue Xuan is located, will be rewarded to your mother. In this way, she can come out and relax. As for living in the palace with you, don't mention it again, I will never set this precedent. Although your mother is no longer the queen, she is still my concubine Jing and one of my concubines. ”

Hearing the emperor say this, Huang Qiong also knew that the emperor had made the biggest concession, and after thanking him, he stopped talking. Just when Huang Qiong, who had partially achieved her goal, was about to say goodbye and leave, a eunuch ran in: "Your Majesty, the prince has been summoned and is now seeing you outside the Wende Palace." ”

"Let him in, I have something to explain to him." Hearing that the crown prince had arrived, the emperor immediately summoned him. As the eunuch who received the summoning order ran out, it didn't take long for a man wearing a bright yellow robe embroidered with nine dragons and a dragon in the middle to enter the Wende Hall and kneel down to the emperor to say goodbye: "Erchen greets my father." ”
