Chapter 333: Mother and Son
Empress Pei hadn't shed a cry for a long time.
She was too weak for the first half of her life, and she would only cry and cry alone in secret. Since her daughter entered the palace and the mother and daughter recognized each other, she made up her mind to be strong and never cry again.
At this moment, the heart is surging and agitated, and the estrangement between mother and son for many years has been completely broken. She shed tears of excitement and joy.
After crying for a long time, Queen Pei's emotions slowly subsided.
The sixth prince also cried once, his eyes were slightly red and swollen, and he wiped the tears on his face a little shyly: "The queen mother is a woman, just cry." Erchen is a dignified seven-foot man, and he shouldn't be so fragile and cry. ”
A seven-foot man?
Empress Pei glanced at the little handsome young man with a slightly thin body, and couldn't help but smile and quip: "Yes, yes, you are a man who stands up to the sky." The queen mother should not underestimate you. After that, it is up to you to protect the queen mother. ”
The sixth prince didn't think it was a joke, and straightened his chest: "Of course." In the future, the sons must take good care of the queen mother. ”
Empress Pei smiled dumbly, and immediately felt a strong sense of guilt in her heart.
She has never been a good mother in all these years. Her son is such a kind, honest, sincere and filial child.
Empress Pei pressed the emotions surging in her heart and said softly: "Little Liu, in the future, if your second emperor brother writes such a letter that I don't know what to do, you don't have to pay attention to it." ”
"He is your brother and the prince of Great Chu. You are also the son of your father, and you are also the son of your father. Your father values your eldest brother and second emperor, so can't he spoil you a little more? ”
"Now that you are in Huangzhuang, they are far away, and there is still a letter to them. When I return to the palace in the future, such troubles and troubles will only increase. ”
"If you blindly care about other people's thoughts and endure grievances, you have to live a life of grievances all the time. Little Liu, is this the life you want? ”
……
Is this the life you want?
Of course not.
So what does the life I want to look like?
The sixth prince opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. It seemed that a thousand words came to his mouth, but he couldn't spit out a single word. The thoughts that suddenly passed through his heart frightened him and made his blood surge inexplicably.
Empress Pei let go of the six princes and took a few steps back.
Mother and son looked at each other under the bright candle.
Empress Pei's gaze was brighter than a fire candle, flickering with a palpitating light.
The sixth prince suddenly felt that his throat was a little tight, and he used all his strength to spit out a few words: "Queen Mother, don't you like the second emperor brother?" ”
The second prince is the eldest son of the queen mother, and he is the natural future prince in the eyes of everyone. Even if the eldest prince is more holy, in the heavenly family that attaches importance to his origin, he is naturally a head lower than the second prince.
He also always thought that the queen mother must fully support the second emperor brother as the prince.
He never thought about it......
never thought that the queen mother had such deep hopes and expectations for him.
Empress Pei looked at the Sixth Emperor and said slowly: "Little Liu, it doesn't matter if I like your second emperor brother or not. He is the second prince of the second prince, five years older than you. In the eyes of everyone, he should be the best candidate for the prince. ”
"As a mother, I will not stand in the way."
"If you have the intention of competing for the throne, the queen mother will spare no effort to support you."
One is "will not be hindered from middle age", and the other is "spare no effort to support". The difference is that even the most stupid and dull people can hear it.
Of course, the sixth prince is not stupid, his spiritual understanding in reading has amazed several masters, and his intelligence is also obvious to all.
Hearing these words, the six princes were shocked and incredulous, and they couldn't speak for a long time.
Empress Pei didn't say any more. She has said enough tonight, wait for the young six princes to taste it slowly and think clearly!
"Little Liu, it's not early, you should go to bed early!" Empress Pei stroked the top of the head of the sixth prince and whispered softly: "The queen mother should also go back." ”
The sixth prince was still in a state of shock and couldn't speak, and nodded reflexively.
Empress Pei took a deep look at the six princes, and then turned to leave.
……
The door opened, and closed again.
There was a near-silence in the room.
The six princes stood stunned and did not move.
There was a mess in my mind, and I couldn't make sense of it. It was as if a boulder pressing on his heart had been moved, and suddenly a dazzling light was revealed. Almost instinctively, he was drawn to the light and wanted to step forward......
Can he really do it?
Can he do it?
The blood in his body suddenly surged rapidly, mixed with a hint of timidity and fear, but more than that, it was eagerly rushing and dripping.
Buckle buckle!
The sixth prince was startled by the sudden knock on the door: "Who?" ”
Outside the door sounded the voice of the personal attendant: "Your Highness, it's already time, and the slave is waiting for His Highness to sleep." ”
Before I knew it, it was already my time.
The sixth prince took a deep breath, rubbed his stiff face vigorously, and forced himself to calm down: "You come in!" ”
The door was pushed open, and a clear-eyed chamberlain entered. This waiter's surname is Liu, and he is eighteen years old this year. When the sixth prince was six years old, he went to serve by the six princes and won the trust of the six princes.
Seeing that the sixth prince was worried about his face, Gonggong Liu couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "What's wrong with Your Highness?" Could it be that something is wrong? ”
How dare the sixth prince reveal what Empress Pei had just said, and said vaguely: "It's nothing. This afternoon, I practiced too much, my arms were sore, and I am still very uncomfortable. ”
Gonggong Liu didn't ask too much, and followed the words of the sixth prince and said, "Since this is the case, Your Highness should rest early!" I'm going to get up early tomorrow to drive with you! ”
The sixth prince hummed and quickly stripped off and fell asleep.
In the past, you could fall asleep with a pillow on your head. Tonight, I tossed and turned, and I couldn't sleep.
……
When he got up in the morning of the second day, there was a faint green shadow under the eyes of the six princes, and at a glance, he knew that he had not slept well at night.
"The sons and daughters greet their fathers and emperors, and their mothers greet them." The six princes cheered up and bowed to say goodbye.
Empress Pei stretched out her hand to help Emperor Xuanhe sit up on the bed, and said with a smile: "Don't be polite." ”
After Emperor Xuanhe sat up straight, his eyes fell on the slightly haggard and handsome face of the sixth prince: "Little Liu, why is your face so ugly?" Could it be that I didn't sleep well last night? ”
Cheng Jinrong also looked at it with concern.
The sixth prince raised his head, glanced at Cheng Jinrong hurriedly, and then looked at Empress Pei who was smiling lightly for a moment, and opened his mouth to reply: "Erchen's arm is still a little sore, and he can't sleep at night. ”
At this time, just when Du Ti came to the point, Cheng Jinrong could retire and rest.
Emperor Xuanhe opened his mouth and ordered: "Imperial Doctor Cheng, you take a look at the six princes." ”
Cheng Jinrong respectfully accepted the order and exited the dormitory with the six princes.
