Chapter 9: The Birth Mother
Zhu Yuancai walked out of the courtyard, and he had already seen Chu Tingchuan who was walking from the path to the bottom of the banyan tree, as soon as he looked up, he also saw her, raised his hand at her, and sped up his steps.
Everyone in the family knows the relationship between Chu Tingchuan and his own girl, this is not a secret, they are all used to it, and they are also very smart, at this time, even the green clothes have already excused themselves to go down to pour tea and run.
Jin Chang scratched his head, after he returned to the capital, he returned to Chu Tingchuan's side, and he hadn't seen Zhu Yuan for a few days.
Now that everyone has run away, what about him, will he stay or run along?
Chu Tingchuan ignored him, and seeing that Zhu Yuan seemed to be in a good mood today, he asked her, "Didn't the concubine embarrass you?" ”
Why are you still laughing?
Zhu Yuan was a little surprised.
Chu Tingchuan originally came for Concubine Gong's business.
She hesitated.
Concubine Gong is narrow-minded, not broad-minded, and not smart, anything that passes through her hands can only be bad, just like this move, if the emperor really decrees marriage, then she will be Concubine Gong's rightful daughter-in-law in the future.
But Concubine Gong embarrassed her in person, wouldn't it be difficult to get along with her from the beginning in the future?
But Concubine Gong didn't expect it at all.
Unexpectedly, if she was hit by Zhu Yuan on the spot, her face would be even more disgraced, and it would also be called Chu Tingchuan's facelessness.
It's sad.
She didn't know if she should tell Chu Tingchuan truthfully.
After all, these embarrassments are really not a big deal for her, especially this time, she just said a few more words, and let the Queen Mother take action to suppress Concubine Gong.
It's not difficult to deal with Concubine Gong.
But the embarrassment is that Concubine Gong is Chu Tingchuan's biological mother.
She didn't want to embarrass Chu Tingchuan.
As if seeing Zhu Yuan's thoughts, the expression on Chu Tingchuan's face was cold and hard for a moment, he reached out and rubbed Zhu Yuan's hair, took a breath and said, "Don't worry, it won't be in the future, I won't let you be wronged again." ”
Zhu Yuan felt that something was wrong when he heard this, and when he raised his head and saw Chu Tingchuan's solemn expression, he couldn't help but say: "It's not that serious, in fact, Concubine Gong Niangniang is just straightforward, in the end, she is also for your good, and thinks you deserve better, to be honest, most mothers in this world are so thoughtful, not only Concubine Gong." ”
However, Chu Tingchuan regarded this matter as a great matter, and Zhu Yuan still had some secret joy in his heart.
No one doesn't like to be taken seriously, and if there is, it's because it's not likely to get it.
She whispered to Chu Tingchuan: "And the Queen Mother has already reprimanded her." ”
All the palace people around her have changed, and Concubine Gong herself is not favored, so her future actions will naturally be restricted.
Zhu Yuan felt that such a price was enough.
Chu Tingchuan couldn't tell what he was feeling in his heart, he and Zhu Yuan walked to the pavilion and sat down, and after a while, he whispered: "Since I was a child, I have been very afraid of her. ”
Zhu Yuan had never heard Chu Tingchuan mention it when he was a child.
She couldn't help but raise her head to look at Chu Tingchuan.
Chu Tingchuan's expression was cold and indifferent, and his tone became low as if he were the two of them like Wen Xu in the past: "My mother and concubine had no name in the first seven years of giving birth to me. Fortunately, even if there are no children, she has to have an identity in the palace, but she doesn't. She clearly gave birth to me, but I couldn't get what she deserved for her, so she was extremely conflicted, loving me and hating me. ”
Zhu Yuan was silent.
She had felt that the relationship between Chu Tingchuan and Concubine Gong was not quite right.
The two men seemed close, but they were extremely distant.
Chu Tingchuan is respectful and respectful to her, but how close she is, she is not as close as Empress Wei, it turns out that there is really a reason for it.
"When she was happy, she hugged me and said that I was her everything, and when she was unhappy, she pinched me, beat me and scolded me, thinking that I was a disaster, if she hadn't given birth to me, she might have been released from the palace at the age of twenty-five, maybe she could have another life, but she gave birth to me, and she was trapped for the rest of her life." Chu Tingchuan sneered, and his tone was a little self-deprecating: "I have been in poor health since I was a child, and I am not really weak from birth, but she thinks that I am finally the son of my father, and I am a prince after all, I am sick, and they always have to see me, so she often does not let the nurse dress me and cover the quilt, and from time to time I will be sick." If the Queen Mother or the Queen Mother takes care of me, she will be kind to me for a long time, but if not, she will hysterically scold me for being useless......."
Zhu Yuan really couldn't imagine it.
She is also a mother, a mother, how can she treat her children like this?
No matter how difficult it was in her previous life, she never thought of torturing her own blood to take revenge on King Xiang.
Concubine Gong turned out to be like this!
How does she deserve to be a mother?!
Chu Tingchuan had never shown such a side, Zhu Yuan always felt that he was perfect in the past, and there were no shortcomings. He didn't have the squirrel, and those irritable and gloomy people were far away from him......
But it turned out that his childhood was even more difficult than he imagined.
At that time, Concubine Sheng already regarded him as a thorn in her side, but he even looked like his own mother!
Her heart was sore and painful, and she couldn't help but reach out to hold Chu Tingchuan's hand, and said slowly: "It's all over, Your Highness, it's all over." ”
Chu Tingchuan laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes: "No, she has never seen benefits in her eyes for some reason, I once went to find the concubine after a deep conversation with the queen mother, and said the same thing to her, but the queen mother listened to it, but she didn't." She knows how important you really are to me, but she can still put aside my words and come to you for trouble......"
Fortunately, it was Zhu Yuan.
Fortunately, Zhu Yuan's heart is firm, and the relationship between them has come naturally, if not?
Chu Tingchuan clenched Zhu Yuan's hand, a little tired and a little tired, and said: "What the old lady said is that she has such a good character, and she really can't be the burden of the mother of the country in the future. ”
It's better than coming out and blocking people.
Zhu Yuan frowned.
The old lady can temporarily suppress Concubine Gong, but the old lady is old? She's very old.
Concubine Gong has always been Chu Tingchuan's serious biological mother.
Da Zhou rules the world with filial piety, Concubine Gong will always be upgraded in the future, can she be trapped for a while, can she be trapped for a lifetime?
But now Chu Tingchuan was emotional and very angry, and Zhu Yuan didn't want to discuss this matter with him at this time, so he just nodded, and asked Chu Tingchuan again: "How is the investigation of Second Young Master Xu?" ”
She deliberately diverted the topic, Chu Tingchuan knew it, so she pulled the corner of her mouth: "It's still investigating." ”
