Chapter 55: See Concubine Rong
The emperor looked down at this depressed Nangong Qi, and couldn't help laughing: "My little padded jacket, what's wrong today?" Why are you unhappy? ”
The emperor actually knows some of the truth, but he doesn't want to be unhappy because of Nangong Qi and the queen's mother, otherwise, the future days will not be very easy.
The emperor stopped, slowly squatted down in place, and touched Nangong Qi's small head with a pair of warm big hands, with a kind smile on his face, but Zou Wen of the years appeared.
Nangong Qi pouted with a small mouth, looking at the father in front of him, who was kind and carried by the years, and didn't feel a little sad in his heart.
"My little padded jacket must be uncomfortable today, why don't your father send you back to the palace to rest, and go to see your mother by the way?"
The emperor knew Nangong Qi's thoughts, but he didn't want to spoil his anger like this, so he felt that he would visit her mother.
Nangong Qi was surprised for a while, because, in her impression, since Nangong Qi could walk, the emperor had never visited her mother, she was very happy to think about it, her mother must be even happier, so she said excitedly: "Father is so good, mother will be very happy." ”
After that, she took the emperor's big hand and ran towards her mother's bedroom.
In the Cloud Purple Palace, a woman in her thirties sat on a soft lean basking in the sun, wearing orange tulle, which did not look luxurious at all, but gave people a fresh feeling.
The two maids behind him fanned the fan, the picture was very beautiful, because of the sun, it was very comfortable to sunburn, and Concubine Rong on the side was squinting comfortably as if she was half asleep.
"Mother."
Nangong Qi's childlike voice woke Concubine Rong up.
Concubine Rong was also used to such a scene, so she didn't open her eyes, closed her eyes and said softly: "Well, Qi'er is back, go back to the house and see what's on the table, the osmanthus cake made by the concubine herself for you, go and eat it hot." ”
Every time Nangong Qi went outside and came back, her mother would cook something for her that she liked to eat, Nangong Qi was very satisfied and felt very happy.
But, this time is different.
"Mother, look, who's coming?"
Nangong Qi naughtily ran to Concubine Rong's side and whispered for her back and legs.
The surrounding maids and ladies were quietly sent down by the emperor, and there were only three people here, including the emperor, Concubine Rong and Nangong Qi.
"Who? It won't be your little girl teasing the mother again, now the mother doesn't eat you, and every time I open my eyes, I can't see who is coming. ”
Concubine Rong has long been accustomed to naughty children teasing her like this, Nangong Qi has always felt that no one else has come to visit her except Nangong Qi to accompany her, so she really wants to make this atmosphere lively.
"Mother, open your eyes quickly, Qi'er didn't lie to you this time, it's true, hurry, mother."
Nangong Qi really can't help this concubine, this time he can't let the concubine think it's a scam, so he coquettishly: "My good concubine, open your eyes and take a look." ”
The emperor looked at the mother and daughter in front of him and couldn't help but laugh softly.
didn't know that this smile was heard by Concubine Rong.
Concubine Rong suddenly opened her eyes, looked at the emperor in front of her, and couldn't believe it: "Your Majesty? No, Qi'er, is the mother in a dream? Wake up the concubine. ”
"Mother, this is not a dream, my father really came to see you."
Nangong Qi pulled Concubine Rong up.
Concubine Rong was a little excited, but some couldn't believe it, although she was in the same palace, the emperor hadn't come to visit her for several years.
"Concubine Rong, I've come to see you."
The emperor took the initiative to take a step forward and said softly to Concubine Rong.
Concubine Rong was excited for a while, and then quietly wept, not having the comfortable appearance before, but her face was full of excitement and sadness.
"Your Majesty, are you really?"
Concubine Rong gently stroked her hand on the emperor's wrinkled face.
"Concubine, salute the emperor, just now, let the emperor smile."
Concubine Rong hurriedly half-bent over to salute the emperor, she hadn't saluted for a few years, and Concubine Rong was a little rusty.
The emperor stepped forward and hurriedly helped Concubine Rong up slowly, and said, "Concubine Rong doesn't need to be polite, I will send Qi'er back today, and come and see by the way." ”
After that, he looked around and said, "It's been a few years, it's still the same, it hasn't changed at all." ”
Concubine Rong said: "The concubines have always kept this Cloud Purple Palace very well, I am afraid that one day in the future, the emperor will suddenly come, but it will not be good if he is unfamiliar with the environment here." ”
The emperor looked at some of the courtyards, and the osmanthus trees that he planted with Concubine Rong in the past have grown so tall now, and the emperor couldn't help but sigh a little, time passed so fast.
Nangong Qi looked at his father and mother in front of him, and his heart blossomed happily, and then he walked towards the two of them, holding the emperor's hand with one hand and Concubine Rong with the other, and said happily: "Go to the house, our family will get together." ”
With that, Nangong Qi pulled the two of them towards the house.
A pair of dark eyes on the roof captured it all. Then, he flew away.
When Nangong Qi entered the house, she saw the osmanthus cake made by the mother concubine herself on the table, so she picked it up and walked to her own hut, she was very sensible, and consciously left the world of two people for the emperor and Concubine Rong.
After the emperor saw Nangong Qi leaving, he shook his head scoundrelly: "Qi'er has really grown up, this kid is really sensible." ”
"Yes, but she has nightmares every night."
Concubine Rong glanced at the direction in which Nangong Qi had left, and said sadly.
"Oh? Why? ”
The emperor was also surprised.
"She would shout every night that her father, queen and mother would wake up."
The emperor seems to understand something, Nangong Qi wants his father, the emperor and the concubine to be together every day.
However, this is a rare thing, even if the emperor wants to, the queen will not let it go easily.
Concubine Rong also knew it in her heart, so she didn't say anything more.
The emperor looked at the gentle and virtuous Concubine Rong in front of him, became a little sad, hugged Concubine Rong in his arms, and said softly: "Over the years, I have worked hard for you, and I have also wronged you." ”
Once if it weren't for the sudden emergence of a queen mother, Concubine Rong must now be the queen mother of the dynasty, but because of her lust, she suddenly became indifferent to Concubine Rong, who had been with her for the longest time, and even indifferent to her for several years.
Concubine Rong has a beautiful heart, but she didn't think about going over to earn power and seize power, but she asked the queen mother to come to her every day to slander her.
"Your Majesty, don't say that, concubines are within their duty, and there is nothing hard or hard."
Then, Concubine Rong set her eyes on the emperor's face.
"Your Majesty, you have worked too hard over the years, but you have to take good care of your health."
Concubine Rong's voice was a little choked, and her trembling hands couldn't help but support the emperor's wrinkled face.
