Chapter 22: Mother and Son Meet
After Zhong Lichun finished washing, he told Chen Yujin to go down to rest, practiced cross-legged for a while, waited until the drum sounded the third watch, got up quietly, turned left and right and flashed to the prince Tian Ning's bedroom, jumped over the wall, came to Tian Ning's bedroom, saw his son's immature figure, still reading under the lamp, and looked at his son who had been separated for nearly a year.
Zhong Lichun almost couldn't help but want to scream.
Li Ping came over with a supper and saw a figure standing outside the prince's bedroom. frowned, and reached out and slashed at Zhong Lichun. Zhong Lichun flashed, avoided Li Ping, and said softly: "Father-in-law Li stop, I have no malicious intentions, I am just entrusted by someone to come and see the prince."
Li Ping heard a woman's voice, "I couldn't help but be shocked, and shouted softly: Who are you, who are entrusted by whom, and why are you here." ”
Zhong Lichun turned around and said softly: "I am a show girl who has just entered the palace, entrusted by others, secretly protecting the prince, and there is no malice, if Gonggong Li doesn't believe it, then there is no way." I'm going to say goodbye first, and I'll come back later. After speaking, he jumped on the roof, jumped a few times, and disappeared.
Li Ping watched Ana's figure go away, and wanted to catch up, but after thinking about it, if she really entered the palace to protect the prince, she boldly chased after her, in case she fell into her whereabouts, but it would not be good for anyone. So Shengsheng stopped, turned around and picked up the food box, pushed open the door and said to Tian Ning: His Royal Highness the Prince, it's late at night, use some supper, let's rest tonight! ”
Prince Tian Ning yawned, stretched his waist, took the supper, ate two bites in three bites, climbed into bed, and after a while, the snoring sounded, and he was already asleep.
Zhong Lichun returned to his bedroom, took off his veil, took off his clothes, lay on the bed, and couldn't sleep, he hadn't seen him for a year, his son's childish face was a little more tenacious, a little less immature, obviously his death had a lot of impact on him, at a young age, his face had already shown a little stability and strength, and he seemed to have grown up a lot overnight.
Zhong Lichun sighed, slept all night in a daze, got up the next morning, finished freshening up, and took Chen Yujin to Kunning Palace, where he saw many beautiful girls with positions, and gathered at the gate of Kunning Palace, waiting to meet the queen.
After waiting for a while, the palace gate opened, and the palace maid instructed to pay homage again in order of position.
Zhong Lichun deliberately hung down the bangs on his forehead to cover most of his face. Standing in the middle of a show girl, he slowly walked into Kunning Palace, looking at the familiar grass and trees, flowers and water, and the hatred in his heart gradually spread. The show girl standing beside Zhong Lichun couldn't help but shudder. Shrinking back, wondering, why is it so cold all of a sudden!
Zhong Lichun was sandwiched between everyone, watching all the beautiful girls salute Xia Yingchun in turn, looking at Xia Yingchun, who was wearing a big red phoenix robe, wearing a phoenix crown on his head, and standing tall, his eyes condensed boundless hatred, raised his eyes and glanced at Xia Yingchun, and then lowered his eyes, covering up the hatred of his whole body, Zhou Zheng bowed dignifiedly.
Xia Yingchun was on the phoenix throne, watching a group of show girls saluting him, all of them were delicate, young and beautiful, and he was jealous to death. With a smile on his face, he glanced at the show girls, Zhong Lichun raised his head and looked at her, and Xia Yingchun suddenly shuddered. wanted to take a closer look, but saw Zhong Lichun hidden among the show girls.
Xia Yingchun shook his head, thinking that he had not slept well recently, and he was in a trance, and it was clearly the first time he met, and the familiar eyes from there still contained deep hatred.
Xia Yingchun swept and asked: "You have been divided yesterday, you are all sisters of the palace, but the lord of the palace and the harem, don't be delusional to compete for favor in the palace, the king of the palace is a childhood sweetheart, a husband and wife for ten years, not a newcomer can be compared, the palace hopes that you can keep your duty, otherwise Hugh blames the palace for being ruthless."
All the show girls trembled with fear, and they all claimed to be. Xia Yingchun glanced at them, smug in his heart, and asked, "Where is the first Wang Zhaoyi?" "You look at me, I look at you, and shake their heads at each other.
The second place, Li Jieyu, boldly stepped forward, "Queen Qi, Wang Zhaoyi is not here." ”
"Absent?" Xia Yingchun's face sank, "Come on, go and summon Wang Zhaoyi in, this palace wants to see, who dares to be so bold, and actually put this palace in their eyes." ”
There were already eunuchs who flew to summon Wang Zhaoyi, and after a while, I saw Wang Zhaoyi stumbling and hurrying over. knelt on the ground and said softly: The concubine has seen the queen Niangniangqian, the concubine is late, please forgive the queen's mother! ”
Xia Yingchun looked at the woman kneeling in front of her, with a faint blue and purple kiss mark on her neck, and suddenly understood, her heart was on fire, and she shouted loudly: "Wang Zhaoyi does not abide by the palace rules, does not follow the law, and despises the palace." Come on! Drag me down and take a heavy responsibility for forty. ”
"Forty boards, that's still life." Wang Zhaoyi's frightened face was pale, and she kowtowed again and again, "Niangniang is angry, Niangniang forgives her sins, the concubine didn't mean it, she was really unwell, she got up late, please spare the concubine's life." ”
At this time, Mama Li next to Xia Yingchun said: "Niangniang is angry, Wang Zhaoyi is sleeping for the first time, she is unwell, and she has a reason, and I hope that Niangniang's subordinates will be merciful and spare her once, if she commits it again next time, it will not be too late to punish her, otherwise it will be difficult for the king to confess." ”
Xia Yingchun saw that what she said was reasonable, and said hatefully: "Then change to twenty, if there is a next time, I will not be spared." As soon as the words fell, a chamberlain eunuch dragged Wang Zhaoyi down and pressed him on the bench.
When the beautiful girls in the hall heard Wang Zhaoyi's mournful shouting, they were all frightened like cicadas, trembling, and after a while, Wang Zhaoyi's flesh and blood were blurred, her face was pale, and she was dragged up to the hall in her dying. Get on your stomach.
Xia Yingchun looked at the frightened appearance of the show girls, smug in his heart, glanced at everyone, and said slowly: "Don't you want to be lucky for the king, just want to be side by side in the palace, this is the end of being favored and proud." After speaking, he got up and walked back to the inner hall, leaving a group of beautiful girls, looking at each other, and leaving one after another.
Zhong Lichun looked at Wang Zhaoyi lying on the ground, and walked up quickly to help her up.
Wang Zhaoyi glanced at her, saw that the hall was empty, tears came out of her eyes, she moved her lips, and said softly, "Thank you." ”
Zhong Lichun shook his head and sighed lightly, the same is the end of the world, your today is my yesterday, why bother to say thank you. After speaking, Wang Zhaoyi was carried back to the Zhaoyi Palace. The personal palace maid handed over to her turned to leave.
Wang Zhaoyi lay on the bed, looking at Zhong Lichun's departing figure, and wondered in her heart, what she heard her just now was my yesterday, not my tomorrow. Wang Zhaoyi was puzzled, and just thought it was Zhong Lichun's mistake. A palace maid had already come up to clean Wang Zhaoyi's wounds, and when the wound touched the soju, Wang Zhaoyi let out a scream like killing a pig.
The show girls in the other palaces were all frightened. Suppressed all the thoughts that were about to move.
Zhong Lichun returned to the bedroom, sat on the bed, sneered in his heart, Xia Yingchun wrote down Ma Wei, and suppressed all the show girls' hearts for favor, which was really a good means, but because of this, it made all the show girls even more unwilling, and once the depressed mood broke out, it was quite terrible. Hehehe, let's see how she responds.
Thinking of this, Zhong Lichun is in a good mood, Xia Yingchun, I can wait for you to follow in my footsteps!
Because of Xia Yingchun's fierce and ruthless methods, all the show girls did not dare to act rashly, and the harem was calm.
Zhong Lichun had nothing to do, and he didn't dare to practice martial arts in the palace openly, so he took Chen Yujin and pretended to enjoy the flowers in the back garden, and slowly paced all the way to the palace.
Due to the loss of power of the prince, the palace was cold, and the door was unattended, Zhong Lichun ordered Chen Yujin to stay outside the door, and he pushed the door straight and walked in, and saw Tian Ning's thin body sweating like rain.
Zhong Lichun stood silently to the side, looking at his son in front of him, but he couldn't recognize each other, and suppressed the sourness in his heart.
Li Ping glanced at her, his heart moved, and he looked at it carefully, he was fifteen years old, and half of his small face was covered by the sea on his forehead, and only a pair of bright eyes revealed a familiar gaze, just like a person. Li Ping's heart was shocked, how could this woman's eyes be so similar to the former queen. It's like the same person.
Zhong Lichun saw that Li Ping was staring at him carefully, and he didn't avoid it, he smiled at him and said nothing.
Li Ping looked at Zhong Lichun, the more he looked at it, the more strange it became, like, too similar, except for the difference in appearance, that look, that smile was the appearance of the queen more than ten years ago. If she hadn't hid in the shadows and watched her fragrance dissipate, she would have almost been the queen.
Li An glanced at Zhong Lichun stupidly, sighed, and shook his head, the person is dead and will never come back, the little girl in front of him is just similar to her in appearance and behavior. Thinking of this, his expression was gloomy.
Zhong Lichun didn't know Li An's thoughts, he just stood aside and watched Tian Ning practice his sword, his small body wielding a short sword, practicing every move seriously.
Zhong Lichun felt bitter in his heart, and almost wanted to take Tian Ning away from this place. But thinking that he did his best to save the country that he spent ten years saving, how willing he was to hand it over to the son of the slut like this.
After Tian Ning finished practicing swordsmanship, he saw a young and beautiful woman standing aside and smiling at him, and couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "Who are you, why are you here with me?" ”
Zhong Lichun smiled slightly, took out a brocade to wipe the sweat from his face for him, and said with a smile: "I am a show girl who has just been selected to enter the palace, I was wandering in the garden just now, and I accidentally walked here, and I saw you practicing swords, so I took a look." ”
Tian Ning suddenly felt that this woman's hand was like the queen mother, gentle and considerate, and her heart was hot, "Queen mother." Blurted out.
Zhong Lichun naturally responded, "Hey! ”
When the two came back to their senses, they were stunned and looked at each other. Zhong Lichun stared at Tian Ning, lamenting in his heart, after all, it was flesh and blood, even though he was just a wisp of remnant soul. Tian Ning could still feel the flesh and blood affection.
Zhong Lichun settled down and smiled, "Your Highness misses her mother so much, she actually recognized the wrong person." ”
Tian Ning's face flushed, and he said writhingly: "I'm sorry, sister, I recognized the wrong person." ”
Zhong Lichun smiled slightly, "It's okay, Your Highness thinks about your mother, and it is normal to admit mistakes occasionally." If Your Highness likes it, I will often come over to accompany you. ”
"yes, great. Sister, it's good for you to come and see me every day in the future. Tian Ning jumped up excitedly, jumped up with his small body, took Zhong Lichun's hand and said, "Sister, look at how I practiced the sword just now." ”
Zhong Lichun nodded with a smile, "Well, yes, with logistics and practice, you will definitely be able to dominate the world and have your own world." ”
Tian Ning's expression darkened, and he said faintly: "Yes, I want to be like the queen mother, towering the sky, and avenge my mother." ”
Zhong Lichun's heart was sour, and he smiled reluctantly: "Revenge is important, but your body is even more important, diligent practice is a good thing, but you can't go too far, if you rush too much, you will hurt your body, Your Highness, as the saying goes, you can't reach it quickly." That's what I'm talking about. ”
Tian Ning pulled her and said, "Does my sister know martial arts?" Zhong Lichun was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why are you asking this!" ”
Tian Ning glanced at Li An, "Master is so fierce, he doesn't teach well, I can't understand a lot of words, if my sister knows martial arts, can you teach me?" ”
