Chapter 118: Another Princess?
Although it was not clear why Concubine Yang was angry when she saw her, Li Su still ran up with a smile, bowed down and saluted: "Erchen greets the mother concubine!" ”
But before Li Su raised his head, he felt a pain in his left ear, and then was dragged by Concubine Yang's ear. This made him grin in pain, and he didn't struggle, after all, Concubine Yang was still pregnant, so she could only follow her strength, and kept begging for mercy: "Mother, you tap, tap!" My ears are falling off! ”
"Humph! Bastard, now that you know that it hurts, why don't you know it hurts when you are injured on the battlefield? Concubine Yang was angry just now, and she also felt that she was a little heavier, and when she heard Li Su screaming in pain, she still felt sorry for her son in her heart, so she hurriedly let go of her hand, but she still scolded angrily.
When Li Su heard this, she was shocked in her heart, Concubine Yang knew that she was going to the battlefield, but she even knew that he was injured, it seemed that Li Shimin must have said it to her, no wonder Li Shimin's expression was so strange just now, and she threatened not to tell herself about Pyongyang City, the reason is all here.
"The mother concubine is angry, everything is the fault of the sons, and the willfulness of the mother makes the mother worry for a while!" Although he scolded Li Shimin in his heart, he had to admit his mistake to Concubine Yang, so Li Su knelt down and said very honestly.
"Get up, take off your clothes, and let me see the wound!" Scolding and scolding, Concubine Yang still loves this son the most, and stretched out her hand to pull him up and said.
"Here?" Li Su's face was embarrassed, this is a garden, surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs, and he was injured in the back, if Concubine Yang wanted to see it, she had to take off her shirt, which made Li Su a little embarrassed.
"What are you afraid of, here are all old people who have served me for many years, and many of them have helped you change diapers. What's so embarrassing! Concubine Yang looked at Li Su a little twisted. He reprimanded again.
As soon as Concubine Yang's words came out, she immediately attracted snickering from many palace maids around her, and no matter how thick-skinned Li Su was. couldn't help blushing a little, but his mother's fate was hard to disobey, so he had to remove the clothes on his upper body. The scar on her back was exposed for Concubine Yang to watch. In fact, the arrow he received was not deep at all, and after such a long time, it had already grown completely, and now there was only a shallow scar left, if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to see it at all.
It's just such a shallow scar, but in the eyes of Concubine Yang's mother, it seems to be a fatal wound, not only is it distressing, but it really wipes tears. In the end, he angrily slapped Li Su twice on the back, which can be regarded as relieving his hatred. Li Su also knew that the pregnant woman had a changeable personality, and she didn't dare to let Concubine Yang cry like this anymore. Hurriedly put on his clothes and changed the subject. Pick up the interesting things that I encountered during this time and say, it was not easy to make the other party turn anger into joy.
But before Li Su could breathe a sigh of relief. But seeing that Concubine Yang, who had just shown a little smile, her face turned pale again, and she asked with a displeased expression: "Liulang, you and the princess have been married for almost two years, why don't you have a son and a daughter until now?" ”
"Mother, where is this kind of thing urgent, but I drink the medicine you make people boil every day, if you don't believe it, you can ask Gao Zhong!" Li Su said with a wry smile. Regarding the matter of the heir, Li Shimin had already reminded him when he was in Liaodong, but he had no way to do this kind of thing, Wen Xin didn't say it, the two have never had a round house, so naturally there is no heir, but there has been no movement from Xijun, which makes Li Su a little anxious.
"How can you not be in a hurry, you are about to be eighteen, and if you don't have an heir, maybe someone will say something behind your back?" Concubine Yang said anxiously. In fact, it's no wonder that Concubine Yang is in a hurry, a noble man of Li Su's age, even if he is not married, but the concubine must have a few rooms, maybe the children have already been had, let alone those who are married. For example, Li Jingye, who was married almost at the same time as Li Su, is now about to give birth to his wife, and as for the concubines, there are three or four children who have children, but Li Su still has no movement here.
"Mother, isn't your son too busy, he really doesn't have time!" Li Su smiled and defended himself.
"Busy?" When Concubine Yang heard this, her eyebrows raised, and she reprimanded angrily, "No matter how busy you are, can you be as busy as your father?" But look at the mother, isn't she also pregnant with a child? ”
Concubine Yang was extremely angry, and took herself as an example, and only after saying that she felt a little inappropriate, her face couldn't help but turn red, but in order to educate her son, she couldn't care about this, and after speaking, she talked about other people, starting from the ministers of the court and the central government, which family has many sons and daughters, which family's wife is pregnant, etc., and it is also thanks to Concubine Yang's good memory, so many people don't have a bad memory, but Li Su is dizzy when she listens, and in the end she can't tell who is who.
After counting Li Su, Concubine Yang suddenly changed her words, glanced at her son, and asked meaningfully: "Liulang, how is Wenxin lately?" ”
Li was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect Concubine Yang to suddenly ask Wen Xin, but she still replied: "Concubine Qiyu, Wen Xin is all right, originally she also wanted to enter the palace with her son, but because of the fatigue of the boat and horses, and the son prepared a lot of gifts for his father and mother, and he didn't have time to sort it out, so the son let her rest in the house for a day first, and sorted out the gifts, and then entered the palace tomorrow to meet his father and mother!" ”
After listening to Li Su's words, Concubine Yang was noncommittal, and asked lightly again: "Liulang, how is Wenxin's father?" ”
When Li Su heard Concubine Yang's question, the cold sweat of fright came down, everyone knows that Wen Xin's current father is Xiao Yu's son Xiao Cuo, who has been staying in Chang'an, they just came back yesterday, how can they know if Xiao Cuo is good or not, Concubine Yang's words obviously mean something else.
"Mother, why can't you understand this?" Li Su wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said with an embarrassed face.
"Humph! Rokuro, when are you still going to hide it from your mother? Concubine Yang saw that Li Su was still stiff-mouthed, and patted the chair angrily and said angrily.
Seeing that the mother concubine was angry, Li Su scolded Li Shimin in his heart, how could he tell Concubine Yang everything? And when he came by himself just now, he didn't remind himself that he didn't have any preparation at all now.
"The mother concubine is angry, the son is guilty, and Wen Xin's life experience should not be hidden from the mother concubine!" Li Su cried and replied honestly.
Hearing Li Su's admission, Concubine Yang's anger became even stronger, and she snorted coldly and said, "What a daughter of an anti-thief, you dare to be my daughter-in-law?" ”
Concubine Yang is the former princess of Sui, although Xiao Milling dominates one side, but at the beginning it was the opposite of Yang Guang, so in the eyes of Concubine Yang, Xiao Milling is just a thief, the two are born in opposite positions, but the world is unpredictable, Wen Xin, the daughter of the thief, became the daughter-in-law of Princess Da Sui, which made Concubine Yang naturally feel a little uncomfortable.
"Mother, when Wen Xin married her son, she didn't know her origin, she only thought that she was the daughter of the princess of the Song Kingdom, don't misunderstand her!" Li Su hurriedly explained to Wen Xin that no matter what era it is, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the most difficult to handle, and the husband sandwiched in the middle is a common punching bag on both sides.
"Hmph, I don't care about these, I just know that she is the daughter of Xiao Miao's ungrateful thief, and she is not worthy of being my daughter-in-law at all!" Concubine Yang couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied in her heart when she saw that her son was only caring about protecting his wife, and the anger in her heart couldn't help but rise a little, and her tone of voice was much heavier.
Xiao Mo was originally a penniless poor boy, relying on being the nephew of Queen Xiao, he was placed in the south by Yang Guang as an official, which was regarded as a lot of kindness from Yang Guang, but he finally made Yang Guang's opposite, logically speaking, he was naturally a little sorry for Yang Guang, so Concubine Yang scolded Xiao Mo for being ungrateful, but it was not wrong at all.
Li Su is actually secretly strange in her heart, it is said that with Concubine Yang's usual temperament, she should not have lost such a big temper because of this incident, is it really because of pregnancy?
"Mother, those are all things in the past, why should you care about it anymore, now Wen Xin is your daughter-in-law, and she is very good to your son, it is useless to think about it." Li Su said with a smile, anyway, Wen Xin is already her own princess, can Concubine Yang still be able to separate them?
"Hmph, her daughter-in-law can't do well, after two years of marriage, not only did she not give birth to any children for you, but also did not recruit concubines for you, in addition to her princess, there is only one concubine in your house, but you are also a dignified king of Qi, and you are not afraid of people laughing when you say it?" Concubine Yang said coldly, it seems that her opinion of Wen Xin is really not ordinary.
"Don't think that you can have no worries for the rest of your life if you become a princess, Liulang, since Princess Qi is the daughter of a thief, she is not worthy of you at all, but I know that you have a good relationship, and I don't want to break you up, but she doesn't want to do this princess, just show your father and the emperor, and demote her to a princess, as for the princess, how about helping you with a better candidate for your mother?" Concubine Yang thought that one was one play, and suddenly said such a thing to Li Su with great interest.
Li Su was taken aback after hearing this, and hurriedly persuaded Concubine Yang to dispel this idea, no matter how much he said that he and Wen Xin were in love, and he didn't care about his background at all, if he really let Concubine Yang insert such a lever, no matter what the outcome of this matter was, it would definitely cause an irreparable rift between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and it would be themselves who would suffer at that time.
In fact, Concubine Yang just said in passing, the marriage between Li Su and Wenxin was personally set by Li Shimin, as the so-called gentleman has no jokes, it is naturally impossible to regret it at will, although Wenxin's background is problematic, but Xiao Mian is also the king of a country, Wenxin is at least a princess of a dead country, plus Li Shimin does not want to pursue this matter, so it is impossible to take away Wenxin's position as the princess.
finally persuaded Concubine Yang to cancel the plan to set up another princess, but before Li Su could breathe a sigh of relief, Concubine Yang made a request that made him very helpless, and this request was reasonable, he couldn't refuse at all, and even Li Su felt that the reason why Concubine Yang said just now that she wanted to set up another princess was actually to pave the way for this request.
