Chapter 301: It Feels Good to Have a Mother
After a while, Xiaolan served some court cakes, including: Queen Mother Cake, Jujube Paste Shortbread, Honey Honeycomb Cake, etc., as well as high-quality Xinyang Maojian Tea. Wei let Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong enjoy it, and when he saw Zhao Gou pick up the Queen Mother cake, his face was filled with a happy smile.
Zhao Yougong saw Zhao Gou pick up the pastry and eat it, let go of the doubts in his heart, and also picked up the jujube paste shortbread and ate it, only to feel that the taste was sweet and delicious, and it was a little different from eating before, but he couldn't say what was the difference, and he felt satisfied after eating four in a row.
The moment Zhao Gou bit the Queen Mother's cake, he only felt that his mouth was full of crispy and familiar taste, as if he had eaten it when he was a teenager. In an instant, Zhao Gou was stunned, because this familiar taste was not made by the imperial chef, but by his mother.
At the beginning, when Zhao Gou was reading a lot of books, he closed the door and stayed at home to read books day and night, trying to find a way to save the country. Sometimes the three meals are uncertain, until a maid brings some pastries only to feel that the taste is a little special, so I eat it every day and still not get tired, and later I learned that this is made by my mother Webster.
Wei is a virtuous concubine, and her status is very different from the past, when she was waiting for Empress Zheng, Wei was ingenious, and some home-cooked pastries or palace pastries were made, but later she rarely did it herself. Wei Shi saw that Zhao Gou didn't think about tea and dinner, and he was worried about studying, so he took action in person, and he also hid it from everyone and couldn't let outsiders know.
"Mother, you ......" Zhao Gou couldn't help but his eyes were rosy again, and the queen mother cake in his hand was particularly delicious.
Wei Shi looked at Zhao Gou kindly, saw him eating the pastries he made himself, and smiled with tears in his eyes: "As long as you like it, you can eat more!" He looked at Zhao Yougong again, "Yougong, you can eat more!" ”
Xiaolan was also very happy when she saw Zhao Gou's tearful appearance. Because these pastries are all made by Webster herself, even she is not allowed to interfere, these are made for Zhao Gou, which is Webster's heart for her son as a mother.
Zhao Gou ate six queen mother cakes in a row, these are his mother's intentions, how can he chill his mother's heart, after eating enough, he drank tea again, and his whole body was comfortable; Zhao Yougong was also full of food and drink, and the more he looked at Wei Shi up close, the more he felt that she was three or four points similar to his mother.
"Gou'er, how have you been doing all these years?" Wei Shi saw that Zhao Gou had eaten and drunk enough, and showed a satisfied smile, only to feel that all these years of hard work were worth it.
Zhao Gou was stunned for a moment, and said in a straight voice: "Back to my mother, the child has been doing well these years, and it is the child's fault that the mother is worried." Mother, are you well? ”
"That's it! All right! ......," Merriam-Webster replied gently, "Gou'er, why are you here today?" ”
Zhao Gou heard the worry in his mother's voice, and there was a hint of complaint. If you are not in the capital, everything is easy to say, but you are reluctant to see yourself after you come back, which makes Wei a little complaining. Wei is not like the queen or other concubines, Zhao Gou is her only son, and her thoughts about her son are increasing day by day, especially when she almost died, the person she wants to see most is not someone else, but her own son.
"Back to the mother, the situation between the DPRK and China is undecided, and the child is afraid that the mother will be implicated; Coming here today is also my mother's birthday, and I want to meet my mother. Mentioning this, Zhao Gou felt guilty in his heart, he felt that as a son of man, he had not fulfilled his filial piety by his side.
When Wei saw Zhao Gou say this, the resentment in his heart disappeared, and he understood the situation in the court a little bit. At this time, Zhao Gou answered himself truthfully, what else could Wei Shi say, and she was not the kind of woman who didn't know the seriousness, she still knew what was right and wrong.
Her complaint was not that Zhao Gou didn't visit, but that Zhao Gou had been outside for many years, and when she saw him eat six queen mother cakes in a row, she guessed that Zhao Gou had suffered a lot outside, thinking of this, Wei couldn't help but shed tears again, and felt even more sorry for Zhao Gou in her heart.
Seeing his mother crying again, Zhao Gou hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mother, are you okay?" ”
Wei smiled lovingly, shook his head, wiped his tears, and said with a smile: "Mother is fine, don't worry about it!" My mother was so sad when she thought of something, and it was rare for her to remember my birthday, it was the best birthday I ever had, and it was enough. ”
Zhao Gou smiled and replied embarrassedly: "Back to my mother, your birthday was told to the child by your father!" ”
Wei's body trembled, his heart tightened, he smiled reluctantly, turned his head to look at Zhao Yougong, and said with a smile: "Yougong, your mother and I are sisters, I am sister, and she is my sister." Your mother's real name is Song, am I right? ”
Zhao Yougong nodded, his mother was indeed surnamed Song, and it was because of this that he felt strange, the two were not the same surname at all, how could they be sisters! Moreover, her mother didn't say anything about it, and even her father didn't mention it, and she really didn't know.
"According to the clan relatives, your mother is the daughter of my mother's sister, my cousin. But I have two brothers in my family, a younger brother, and no sisters. My aunt and husband died young, leaving my cousin alone, so my cousin has been living in my house and growing up with me. ”
"Originally, the house was quite wealthy, but the family was backward, and my father had no choice but to send our two sisters to the palace as maidservants. The two of us entered the palace together, and then the emperor gave her to the thirteenth brother, that is, your father, and marriage. ”
"It's a pity that my cousin's fortune is thin, and after regenerating you, he had a blood collapse and died soon after." Wei Shi spoke eloquently and looked at Zhao Yougong amiably.
Zhao Yougong was stunned, he already believed eight points in his heart, just because Wei's appearance was indeed somewhat similar to his mother. Moreover, Wei is Zhao Gou's mother and a virtuous concubine, and she has nothing to do with herself, so it is impossible to deceive herself.
"Why didn't my father say that I still have an aunt?" Zhao Yougong asked bitterly.
Wei Shi was stunned and sighed: "I can't blame your father for this matter, and the thirteenth brother also has a hard time, because your mother didn't say anything about this matter until after you were born, and he was also busy with the affairs of the court and China after you were born, and he never told you about his death." ”
"Mother, why did my aunt tell the truth after my cousin was born?" Zhao Gou asked puzzled.
"Blame me for this!" Wei remembered the past, left tears sadly, and sighed: "I entered the palace with my cousin as a maidservant, and then I was favored by the emperor to be promoted from the maidservant, but my family is a common person, and after the two of us entered the palace, we broke off contact with the family, and it can also be said that we were expelled from the house." ”
"At that time, the two of us entered the palace together, but we waited in different places, and the queen and I served Queen Zheng and became personal maidservants; My cousin is doing chores, and she has to do rough and heavy work. At that time, I would quietly go to visit her, but I was discovered by the chief eunuch Liang Shicheng, because I was the queen's maidservant and was exempted from punishment, but my cousin was punished, and at that time we agreed not to talk to anyone about each other's relationship in private, and we never saw each other again. ”
"Later, I don't know why my cousin married the thirteenth brother, and my cousin didn't say anything because she considered my position, until I was seriously ill and almost died, and the thirteenth brother told me about it. Moreover, the thirteenth brother also explained that if I have the opportunity to meet you, I will tell you about it, and I will not meet you until today. ”
The news that Zhao seems to be alive is only known to the emperor, Zhao Gou, Zhao Yougong and a few other people, Wei Shi does not know, and she is just returning Zhao's life-saving grace. If it weren't for Zhao Xiang to save himself that day, I was afraid that Wei Shi would have already returned to the Yin Cao Underworld, where would he have the opportunity to see Zhao Gou again, let alone tell Zhao Yougong these things.
Zhao You respectfully shouted: "Auntie! ”
"Good! ......" Wei Shi was excited, looked at Zhao Yougong with tears in his eyes, and said excitedly: "If your mother knows and sees your achievements today, she will definitely be happy for you." ”
Wei Shi sincerely told the truth, Zhao Yougong already believed that what she said was true, and there was no deception, so Zhao Yougong's voice was also unprecedentedly respectful, and he was still a little excited in his heart. Seeing Webster is like seeing a mother, as if a mother is alive, it feels really good to have a mother, Zhao Yougong cried, cried excitedly.
