Chapter 38: Seeing the Mother

Qin Lei said goodbye to the Queen Mother and followed the picturesque pretty female official out of Cining Palace. The female official brought Qin Lei to the door, and the female official from Concubine Jin's palace was already at the door.

Leaving the confines of Cining Palace, the female official who accompanied Qin Lei was obviously much more relaxed, whispering in front of her with a lantern, and secretly turning her head from time to time to sneak a peek at her son, whom Niangniang hadn't seen for sixteen years.

Qin Lei was not annoyed, and when they had seen enough, he asked, "Dare to ask sisters, are we going to Kunning Palace?" ”

A female official turned around and blessed Qin Lei, and said slightly depressed: "If you go back to Your Highness, you don't need to go to Kunning Palace, the queen mother and the concubine have all passed the word: it is too late and the body is tired." Let you go again tomorrow to say goodbye. ”

Qin Lei nodded and smiled: "It's okay." And he said no more. Shen Qing behind him glanced at him in surprise, and said in his heart, it turns out that His Royal Highness will also be nervous.

In the Great Qin system, the queen is the emperor's wife and is in charge of the harem. It's just that when the queen mother is alive, the queen can often only rank second in the harem. Below the queen are the fourth lady. They are noble concubines, concubines, concubines, and virtuous concubines. Among them, the noble concubine is honored, and the other three are tied. Below are the nine concubines, the twenty-seventh wife, and the eighty-one royal wife. Except for a few emperors who are excessively promiscuous, most of them will not use up these preparations.

In the sixteen years of the reign of Emperor Zhaowu, there were four queens, eight concubines and six wives, and the number was moderate.

Concubine Jin's title is Concubine Xian, because she lives in Jinyu Palace, so she should be called Concubine Jinxian. But on most occasions, it would be referred to as Concubine Jin.

Jinyu Palace is far away from Cining Palace. Qin Lei and the others walked out of the courtyard where Cining Palace was located, and sat in a sedan chair for a while before arriving.

As soon as Qin Lei got out of the sedan chair, he saw a group of palace ladies hugging two excited palace ladies and greeted him.

On the left, a person dressed in a royal blue lake silk palace dress looked younger, and her still beautiful thrilling face was covered with crystal tears, she stretched out her hands while running towards Qin Lei, and called out: "My Lei'er, ......" with a sad expression, and her voice was like a cuckoo crying blood.

The purple-clothed lady who had originally stepped forward with her ran a few steps, and then stopped, her eyes overflowing with tears, and she trembled all over, if it wasn't for the support of Gong'e on the side, she might fall headlong.

Qin Lei was in a mess, he was indeed half-truthful in front of the old queen mother at first, but in the face of his mother, even if it was only in name. He can't be a faker either.

He was so pestled on the ground, his face changing from cloudy to sunny. Looking at the woman who was crying and running over, all the coping strategies that I had thought of were rejected. He didn't know what attitude to use towards his first mother.

Qin Lei was an orphan in his last life and had never met his parents.

The woman was getting closer and closer, and she could already see her thin eyebrows, and the tears under the corners of her eyes, and her lips that moved slightly, in the not-so-bright light.

Qin Lei sighed secretly in his heart, ready to try to accept his mother.

Just as he was about to open his arms and catch the woman who looked like a bird, the woman stopped in front of him. Looking at Qin Lei infinitely, he said astringently: "Lei'er, do you dislike your mother so much?" Tears flowed.

Qin Lei knew that he was indeed too slow to react, and he had hurt the woman's heart. sighed secretly in his heart, shook his head and said, "No, in fact, when the child sees his mother, his heart is also happy." It's just that I don't know how to express it, it's messy. ”

At this time, the woman in purple at the back finally stepped forward, glanced at Qin Lei deeply, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. said warmly to the lady in blue: "Niangniang, after all, this child has never seen his mother since he can remember, and it is normal to be a little helpless. Let's go into the house and say something. As he spoke, he glanced at Qin Lei.

Qin Lei nodded, and together with the woman in purple, he carried Concubine Jin, who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, into the courtyard.

When they entered the house, they saw that the whole room was illuminated as bright as day by the eighteen palace lamps hanging on the walls around them. The room is magnificent and beautiful.

Qin Lei, who was in a state of turmoil, was in no mood to look at this, he and the woman in purple helped Concubine Jin to sit down on the couch, then took two steps back and knelt on the ground.

When Concubine Jin, whose eyes were misty with tears, saw him kneeling, she shook her head and told him to get up, muttering words like I am not worthy of being your mother. The lady in purple persuaded her softly on the side, and Concubine Jin stopped crying for a long time.

Qin Lei saw that she finally stopped crying, and his heart was a little settled. He kowtowed three times respectfully, fell to the ground and said astringently: "The child is disobedient, and when he sees his mother, he will make you sad." I also asked my mother to punish her. He buried his head deep in the carpet and refused to lift it.

Concubine Jin called him up, but he shook his head. Niangniang stepped forward again, how could Concubine Jinniang of the golden branches and jade leaves pull him, he didn't move after pulling a few times, but sat on the ground with weak legs, hugging Qin Lei's shoulders and crying.

The mother and son hugged their heads and cried for a long time before they got up together and sat down to talk. Concubine Jin's eyes were already crying like peaches, and Qin Lei's eyes were also red.

When the woman in purple saw that the two were reconciled, she wiped her tears and said with a forced smile: "That's right, that's how the family should be." Your Highness hasn't eaten yet, has he? ”

After her reminder, Qin Lei really felt a little hungry and dizzy. Later, he vomited all the things in his stomach, and his stomach was uncomfortable, and he had not eaten until now before entering the palace.

He smiled embarrassedly, touched his stomach and said, "I'm really hungry." Then he got up and saluted the woman, and then asked his mother, "I don't know what this elder is...... and he has a very good impression of the gentle woman in purple.

Concubine Jin took the hand of the woman in purple and chuckled: "I patronized and cried, but I forgot to introduce my sister-in-law." She also smiled at Qin Lei, pear blossoms bring rain. This is my mother's sister-in-law, you should call your aunt. ”

Qin Lei said in his heart, sure enough, it was the wife of the Shen family, and he gave a respectful salute again.

Mrs. Shen smiled and accepted his salute. Then he turned around and pulled him and Concubine Jin towards the side hall.

The large dining table in the side hall is already full of eight meats, eight vegetarian dishes, eight snacks, and four soups, four soups and four candied fruits. Dozens of delicate and gorgeous dishes, large and small, fill the table.

There are also palace maids who are queuing up to serve food, and they can't put it down for a while, so they stand aside with a tray.
