Chapter 60: Filial Piety
The Taiping Duke wanted to see Xue Chongxun, it was necessary for him to go over, and he hurriedly took a shower and changed into a clean Taoist robe before going. Rao is like this, Princess Taiping was also slightly surprised when she saw him, and found that he had lost a lot of weight in a month, and I don't know what he wrote to make it like this. In fact, the main reason is that he focused on deducing that he didn't pay attention to his life and rest, and he was not controlled by others, but it had little to do with what he did.
I saw that the beard on his mouth and chin was uneven and looked a little messy, and his cheeks had grown out a little, which he hadn't had time to trim just now. At this time, adult men generally have to grow beards, and they also have the concept of parents who have a body and a skin, but not everyone likes to have a messy beard, and they will still repair it on weekdays. Xue Chongxun's beard at this time was obviously different from his usual appearance, and because his face had lost weight for a short time, his eye sockets also appeared deeper, so his eyes were less suitable and calm.
Sun's eyes flickered, but she looked at Xue Chongxun intentionally or unintentionally, she pretended not to pay attention to him, but let the blind man also see that her attention was all on Xue Chongxun. For some reason, every time Sun saw Xue Chongxun, she would feel a kind of pity, probably because of her mother's excessive love, and she always felt that this powerful man who was a little younger than herself and held supreme power was very pitiful. This time it was even worse, Xue Chongxun's haggard face and deep-set eye sockets made her feel very melancholy, and she developed an almost irrepressible love, and she couldn't wait to go up and touch his face immediately and comfort him softly, making him feel happy.
Princess Taiping asked unhappily when she saw Xue Chongxun's appearance: "You have been ignoring the government recently, and you have been writing books behind closed doors all day long, what are you writing?" ”
Xue Chongxun thought that she had come to ask about it, and after pondering for a moment, he felt that it was necessary to inform his mother of this kind of decision-making thing, so he said: "The imperial examination is imperative, and I am preparing to implement a more detailed imperial examination system. First of all, the content of the exam, poetry and poetry should no longer be used as a condition for choosing officials, this kind of thing has little to do with the governance of Anbang; The doctrine of scripture and righteousness that follows the ideas of the sages should not be abandoned, but ......"
"Alright, alright." Princess Taiping had a premonition that he was going to make a long speech, and her mind was not on it, so she unceremoniously interrupted Xue Chongxun, "For the monarch, you don't have to bow down to yourself." I came to you today for a more important matter, Mrs. Sun is pregnant. ”
"Huh?" Xue Chongxun was a little surprised because he was unexpected, and Princess Taiping's unhappy and angry tone was quite puzzling. He looked back at Sun, just in time to meet Sun's intentional or unintentional gaze, and her face flushed and hurriedly lowered her eyes to the floor.
Her body seemed to tremble slightly, and her ears turned red with a look of self-shame. As an elder, he was pregnant with his son-in-law's blood, and he was still watched by the family, which is obviously not a glorious thing. She bowed her head and said nothing, like a prisoner being interrogated.
Xue Chongxun was silent for a moment and said, "How long has it been?" Before it is conspicuous, you can only move to live elsewhere...... In the future, it will be said that it was born to the queen. ”
Princess Taiping was very satisfied when she heard this, and thought of it with her, in the end, her eldest son was a person who had experienced and understood the general situation, and he would not willfully do such a thing as blatantly putting his mother-in-law into the harem. She said casually: "I have already set up for Yulin Army to escort Mrs. Sun out of Beijing early tomorrow morning and go to Huaqing Palace to raise her." It is a good place to recuperate, and in two or three months into winter, Huaqing Palace is warm and humid, which is better than in Daming Palace. ”
Xue Chongxun said: "I'll send Mrs. Sun personally." ”
Sun immediately looked up at him, and he felt the helplessness and dependence of this woman. Xue Chongxun understood her feelings, so he said that he would send it himself, and he also wanted to make up for the apology of not letting her have her own child in the right name...... However, let Li Yan'er be her mother, in the end, Li Yan'er is the daughter of the Sun family, and it is not too ruthless to forcibly take the Sun family's children.
But Princess Taiping showed a ruthless side, she was instinctively unhappy with Xue Chongxun's decision, and said coldly: "There is an army escort who will not go on a business trip, and the Huaqing Palace itself is also heavily guarded, why should you leave your business behind and run away?" Isn't there something the court wants you to do, and the ministers have written to remove Du Xian What's going on? ”
Sun Shi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty should put state affairs first, I am already ashamed, and I can't let Your Majesty send it off in person." ”
She said this in Xue Chongxun's expectation, the difference between people and people is still quite big, and Jin Cheng will never persuade him to do anything; And Sun is actually a very rational and realistic person, she often advises Xue Chongxun to do things that are beneficial, only when things go smoothly outside, they can experience less wind and waves, she knows that fate is one, the previous prince was ruined because of the failure of the struggle, and the bird's nest overturned How can the eggs be safe? This reality also shows that she is not in the love of money, her own life is not luxurious, but she has a large amount of gold and silver jewelry, and her favorite is the valuable and small things.
Xue Chongxun bowed to Princess Taiping and said: "I will only be away from Beijing for a few days at most, and if there are important matters that need to be decided during this period, and my mother is in charge, I can only let my mother work harder." ”
Princess Taiping felt better when she heard this, which showed her trust, so she showed a smile: "You are handling the daily government affairs, but you are not worried that I will deal with major affairs contrary to you?" ”
Xue Chongxun said: "Mother, the master is eloquent, besides, our mother and son are connected, can you still not know what I think in my heart?" What you mean is what I mean, and you can't be wrong. ”
"Hehe......" Princess Taiping was in a better mood when Xue Chongxun said two words, "What kind of mother and son are connected, you are too sticky." Well, since you insist on going, I can't stop you anymore. ”
So the matter of the Sun family was discussed and decided by their mother and son, and the Sun family itself had no own opinions, she only said one sentence before and after Xue Chongxun came to discuss the matter, and it was still something that had no substantive effect.
Xue Chongxun is very difficult to explain what he did, and he made his mother-in-law's belly bigger, and he is still discussing it here. And Princess Taiping didn't blame herself, and agreed to his further request to give it away in person, Xue Chongxun had the idea of returning Li to the peach and went to please Princess Taiping. He first had dinner with his sister Princess Hezhong, and then sat with her to talk about some light topics so that Princess Taiping could enjoy the joy of family.
Anyway, for those topics that don't matter, Xue Chongxun just needs to follow Princess Taiping's meaning and say that she will be happy, he knows his mother's character very well, and everything must be according to her wishes to be satisfied. However, she is not completely unreasonable, Xue Chongxun has her own opinions on some major matters, as long as Princess Taiping has enough reasons to explain, she will still compromise and give in.
Tonight's conversation is all anecdotes, Princess Taiping is white, Xue Chongxun will never say that it is black, so the atmosphere is harmonious. In addition, Princess Hezhong is really a smart and well-behaved person, who can be coquettish and pleasing to the elders, Princess Taiping's face has always been very good.
The princess in the river was lively, kneeling in front of Taiping, beating her legs and standing up and rubbing her shoulders, until she praised: "The most filial is still Second Sister Xue." ”
Xue Chongxun also smiled and said, "Mother thinks that her son is unfilial?" ”
Princess Taiping smiled meaningfully and shook her head: "It's different, it's your sister who can serve left and right." And you live in Daming Palace, and it is common for you not to see each other for a few days, like I haven't seen you for a month before. She naturally didn't say that Xue Chongxun was unfilial, of course she understood that the real use was her son, and it was fundamental to keep the country in the country in civil and martial arts, if someone rebelled against her, it was the best guarantee to have a son who would fight with a fierce general. Princess Taiping almost does not leave the palace, and in order to keep her own qiē, of course, she needs all kinds of people, and there must be a few truly trustworthy capable people.
Xue Chongxun was happy for a moment, so he got up and walked behind Princess Taiping and said to his sister, "I'm here to serve my mother." ”
My sister was rubbing her shoulders just now, and Xue Chongxun put his hand on Princess Taiping's shoulder instead, but as soon as his hand touched her shoulder, he became extremely nervous. Princess Taiping's clothes are of the best material, light and soft, and as soon as Xue Chongxun's hand is put on, he immediately feels the touch of her skin, as if there is no barrier, and even the shape of the shoulder bone is completely felt in the palm of his hand. His hands were originally very stable, and they were also a pair of hands that had touched the skin of many women, but at this time, he felt as if he had touched a woman's skin for the first time in his life, full of tension and novelty, as if there was some magic on Princess Taiping's body, and he didn't know where he was at the touch.
When he lowered his head, he looked down at the towering outline of the breast of Princess Taiping, which was naturally covered with clothes, and the collarbone and cleavage could only be seen from above and down. Although it is covered, there is no bra or anything like that can hold up in this era, the fabric is soft, and the graceful curve must be the natural shape of the breast. Xue Chongxun had never seen a better shape than in front of him, some were very beautiful but not such a large size, and some were large enough but did not have this shape and feeling. He sometimes likes plump women, and probably the roots of that aesthetic are here.
Originally, Xue Chongxun was a little unnatural, but unexpectedly, the princess of the river suddenly laughed: "Brother's face is red!" ”
A sentence pulled him back to reality and made him realize the strictness of things, but his ability to pretend to be good had already been practiced, and he said very calmly at this time: "After sitting for a long time, I suddenly got up a little dizzy, my body is very good, don't look down on me." He directly used the method of pretending to be stupid and secretly changing the concept, and secretly replaced the blush with symptoms such as physical discomfort.
The princess of the river smiled and said nothing, but fortunately she didn't dwell too much on it. G
