With the arrival of Huang Qiong's mother in the mourning hall, there was a strange and strange calm. The princes, concubines, and even officials guarding the spirits in the hall did not dare to speak out. Even those who played mourning outside the hall, and the monks who chanted the scriptures excessively, also involuntarily stopped what they were doing.

At this time, in the main hall, the calm could be heard almost when a needle fell on the ground. But Huang Qiong's mother, as if everyone was gone, stood there. But it brought a kind of wordless pressure to almost everyone present. It's as if she's the real queen.

It wasn't until the incense burned out completely that the mother sighed softly. Said to the queen, who was lying in the coffin, and it was no longer possible to hear her words: "I thought you were a pure person, but I didn't expect that there are some things that you still can't let go, so why bother?" I know what you can't rest assured. But rest assured, there are some things that I have promised, and I will do it. ”

After that, the mother turned her head to look at the prince and the king of Shu on one side, although she did not continue to say anything. But those cold, unusually penetrating gazes. But the filial piety robes on the two of them were soaked by the cold sweat that broke out involuntarily. The two of them didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere at this time.

If it weren't for the strength of the unclear qi, I am afraid that these two kings would also fall to the ground like those old ministers under the forced gaze of Huang Qiong's mother. The crown prince and the king of Shu were not arrogant before, but they were submissive, which made the other kings can't help but have a sense of fear for this concubine Jing who is still meeting for the first time.

When Huang Qiong's mother turned her eyes away from the prince and the king of Shu, everyone didn't dare to look at this concubine, even if they looked at each other. Even King Song, who was pampered by his own mother, who had always been flying and domineering, kept his head low and didn't dare to lift it, for fear of being seen by Huang Qiong's mother.

Whether it is the ministers who met the former queen for the first time and the current Concubine Jing for the first time, or the kings and princesses in Beijing. I have met with this Concubine Jing before, and even the crown prince, Princess Jincheng, or some old ministers, or even the concubines present, all of them were shocked by Huang Qiong's mother's seemingly plain but penetrating eyes.

Especially some old ministers who knew the ability of this concubine Jing and experienced the changes in Huaiyang back then, faced this former queen who had not asked about the world for more than ten years, and even knelt down directly with weak knees. Even the mother didn't say a word, but almost everyone present was so depressed that they couldn't even breathe.

Although everyone didn't know what kind of promise she had made to the woman lying in the coffin in the main hall at the moment, no one dared to come forward to question. Even after listening to her words, the prince who had the most questions did not dare to come forward to ask. The other concubines and princes present were even more confused.

It wasn't until the emperor who rushed to hear the news that he broke this strange calm in the main hall. It's just that after seeing Huang Qiong's mother, the emperor, who has been a little uneasy these days, stepped forward and grabbed Huang Qiong's mother's hand. Although it was a little out of place, there was still a surprise in his words: "I know that you will definitely come, and there are some things that you will not really sit idly by." ”

Facing the emperor who was a little surprised, Huang Qiong's mother did not answer the emperor immediately in a way that Huang Qiong did not expect. Instead, he turned around and looked at the coffin in the middle palace and was silent for a long time before he said in a somewhat dismal tone: "She is gone, I naturally want to send it." There are some fates that we cannot escape no matter what. ”

"You are the king of a country, but you don't know women. You never know, what does she really want? Both as a mother and as a wife, she is much more qualified than me. You have lost her all these years, and I have also lost her. It's just that I didn't expect that after more than 20 years, her heart knot still hasn't really let go, maybe her heart is really sad than her heart is dead. ”

Speaking of this, the mother turned around and ignored the emperor beside her, let alone Huang Qiong, her biological son. Instead, he turned his gaze to Princess Shouyang, who was being held in the arms of a grandmother at the moment, and was left by Queen Daxing, who was only five years old. He stepped forward and took her in his arms.

Gently stroked Huang Qiong's sister for a long time before turning her head to the emperor and saying, "I will take care of this child in the future, this is my last promise to her." You know my character, and I will do what I promised. You also understand that it would be better for this child to be taken care of by me now. ”

And when the mother looked at Princess Shouyang in her arms, the original cold eyes were extremely rare to reveal, and even Huang Qiong, who was his son, had never seen a loving look. It's not the kind of love that adults look at children, but the kind of pure, motherly eyes without a trace of impurities.

Looking at Princess Shouyang quietly lying in her mother's arms, Huang Qiong was even a little jealous of her sister. Because Huang Qiong vaguely and roughly remembered that her mother had never hugged her since she was a child in her life. Mother's arms have always been closed to herself. Even when she was sick, her mother never hugged her.

Of course, before coming to this life, whether she had hugged her when she was still breastfeeding or not, Huang Qiong had no memory. But since Huang Qiong came to this era, even if she was out of the palace to practice, until she was able to leave the palace, her mother had always used a clip, and she had never hugged herself.

Back then, under his mother's cold eyes, he knew that his mother's arms had always been unfortunate for him. Looking at the young sister in her mother's arms, Huang Qiong could only touch her nose, and thought with three points of jealousy: "Maybe this is the so-called mother's habit of teaching her children, who made herself happen to be a boy back then." ”

However, at this time, Huang Qiong, although she was a little jealous that her young sister could be hugged by her mother, like a real mother hugging her children. But the three points of jealousy in my heart were soon washed away by the relationship between the mother, the emperor, and the queen who had become popular, and some incomprehensible relationships.

For Huang Qiong, whether it is her mother or her own emperor Laozi, today's performance is too abnormal. My mother, who has always seemed to know what to apologize for, actually said something that she had failed someone today. This almost made Huang Qiong's jaw drop in shock. What's more, this person should also be considered her rival in love.

Rival? Huang Qiong hesitated for a moment, but still thought that her evaluation of the queen of Daxing was not wrong in her relationship with her mother. Regardless of whether there is affection between the mother and the emperor, but after all, the emperor and the emperor were once husband and wife. When the husbands of two women are both one person, no matter how good the relationship was before, they are destined to become rivals.

Huang Qiong believes that no one in this harem, or even the women in the whole world, is willing to share her husband with others, even if she has known their husband for a long time, it is destined to be impossible to have only one wife. Even if this is an era of polygamy, an era of three obedience and four virtues without women's rights, only women's precepts and women's virtues.

But women are born with three points of vinegar, and they will not change because of the changes of the times. At least since ancient times, no woman has wanted to share her husband with someone else. The reason why everyone can still get along in front of others and reluctantly get along is not too jealous. It's just that because of the identity of this husband, even if he is unwilling and unwilling, he has to be endured.

Because of the big trouble, it is not only themselves who are unlucky, but also their children and their families. Because their husband is the king of a country, the emperor of millions of corpses in the wrath of the Son of Heaven. From ancient times to the present, how many women in the harem who are unwilling to endure have a good end?

So in Huang Qiong's view, one of the women in the harem is counted as one, and the relationship between them is actually a rival in love. This naturally includes the mother who once shared a husband and the queen's throne, and the queen of Daxing. But judging from her mother's words in front of the queen's spirit, it doesn't look like that kind of hostile relationship, which is what makes Huang Qiong puzzled.

Even if the mother's heart is weak and she doesn't care about the queen's position, it will not be to the point of turning the fight with the queen into a jade silk. With the mother's character, it is generally more likely that old age and death do not get along. But today's mother's words just subverted Huang Qiong's understanding.

The relationship between these two people, although not necessarily friends. But it's obviously not what I guessed, at least not that kind of mortal enemy. And the most important thing is when did the mother meet the queen and what did she promise her? If it is said that before the mother retreated to listen to Xue Xuan, she would still believe it when she saw the queen Huang Qiong.

In those messy accounts back then, several of the characters have passed away one after another. Now except for the couple who are still there, no one knows what the relationship is, and no one can say clearly. But Huang Qiong could hear that the meaning of her mother's words was obviously not referring to the past.

It is impossible for the queen to think that she would die so early more than ten years ago. Don't go to find your emperor husband, but find your rival to support you. At least, taking away the five-year-old Princess Shouyang from her mother shows in disguise what her promise to the queen is.

It also shows that the object of the queen's entrustment is just her own **. The other four sons born by the queen have all grown up, and the queen should not and will not need to deliberately support the orphans. Of course, this is just some speculation by Huang Qiong. What the truth is, I'm afraid only the mother knows at the moment. And Huang Qiong bets that with her mother's character, she will never say it.

Judging from what I know now, at least in the last few days, my mother has seen the queen. But what is going on here, why did the mother go to see the queen, was the queen who took the initiative to find her, or the queen who she took the initiative to meet? How did she go to meet the queen?

What secrets did not know about her and the queen, between these two women, that outsiders, even their common husbands? Or what does it mean to say to the emperor that she has a lot of negative queen words? The current Huang Qiong can be described as confused in her heart.

At present, Huang Qiong's heart is completely messed up by the triangular relationship between her mother, the emperor and the queen of Daxing. Although she was curious to death, Huang Qiong knew that in addition to being a qualified bystander, her curiosity should not be too strong now. After all, his parents are not simple characters. With the shrewdness of these two, the only one who is unlucky can only be himself.

Huang Qiong was thinking nonsense here, after taking over Princess Shouyang, her mother walked out of the queen's mourning hall directly with the child in her arms, and she didn't look back, let alone pay attention to the stunned and even a little overwhelmed people behind her. Princess Shouyang's nurse was a little worried and wanted to keep up, but she was glared back with a cold look.
