Chapter 195: The Next Yuan Festival (11)
The next day, the palace of the Southern Jin Dynasty once again became a festive Red Sea, the horn sounded, the team of sending off relatives was mighty, ready to go, Xishu retreated to the west for 70 miles on the same day, and gave up the agreed capital, taking this as a letter to conclude the good of the two countries.
Changle wears a snow-carved crown, inlaid with a quail egg-sized jade in front of the crown, and a circle of soybean-sized yuan beads around it, wearing a red wedding dress and a mink short coat.
When the auspicious time came, the guard of honor opened the way, Nan Jinyan put her in the car, then turned over on the horse, and personally sent Changle out of Kyoto, until the team to send his relatives away, he quickly returned to the capital.
Nan Jinyan ran up to the city tower, looking at the red river flowing into the distance, he felt for the first time that this palace was too big.
Hearing that Nan Jinyan went up to the city tower, Su Roujia also followed, and ordered someone to prepare the wine sent by Changle, she walked to him lightly and silently handed a wine jug to Nan Jinyan.
"Why are you here? It's windy here...... Let's go back. Nan Jinyan took the wine jug, tilted his neck, and took a sip.
Su Roujia poured herself a glass, raised her glass into the distance and said, "This cup, for the people of the Southern Jin Dynasty, respect the imperial sister!" After drinking, she poured another glass, "This cup, the concubine respects His Highness!" ”
"Jing Hongu?"
Su Roujia touched Nan Jinyan's wine jug with her cup, "Well, in fact, I have always wanted to thank Your Highness." ”
"Oh? Thanks to Hongu what? Nan Jinyan looked at Su Roujia, "Let's hear about it......"
Su Roujia looked into the distance, "Thank you Your Highness for not being angry with your concubine because of discord with your father, thank Your Highness for taking care of your concubine on weekdays, and thank Your Highness for your tolerance and understanding of the concubine, so, I would like to give you a drink." As soon as he finished the last word, he took the cup and drank it down.
"Actually......" Su Roujia continued: "Also as a woman, the concubine body can understand the imperial sister very well, she can't help herself, her life is her own, but her fate is not, if it weren't for His Royal Highness's benevolence, maybe it would be ......."
Nan Jinyan touched her head, "What kind of stupid thing to say." He turned around and took Su Roujia's hand, "It's cold here, let's go." ”
Coming down from the city tower, a guard ran over and handed Nan Jinyan a letter, which said that his mother, Hui Guifei, was not from the Southern Jin Dynasty, but from the Northern Li, and the letter was not signed.
The news was like a bolt from the blue, and he grabbed the guard and asked, "Say it quickly!" From whom did you get the letter? ”
"Prince Qiqi, just sent by a child, said that he was in a hurry, let the villain transfer it to the prince."
Nan Jinyan asked anxiously, "Child? What children? What about people? ”
The boy gave the letter to the villain and ran away.
"Go and find it! Find out the messenger for this palace! Nan Jinyan shouted: "Go find it, immediately!" Rummaging through the whole city is also going to find people in this palace! ”
Su Roujia looked at Nan Jinyan in a panic, "Your Highness, what's wrong?" ”
"It's fine." Nan Jinyan shook Su Roujia's hand tightly, "You go back first, there is something important in this palace to see my father." ”
Nan Jinyan helped Su Roujia into the carriage, rode the horse himself, and left, he didn't know who gave him the letter, the handwriting was very unfamiliar, and he didn't believe what the letter said, so he had to ask in person.
"Father! The son has something important to see! ”
When the father-in-law heard the voice, he hurriedly came out of Nan Xiao's dormitory to check, only to see Nan Jinyan kneeling outside the door of the dormitory, and when he saw his father-in-law coming out, Nan Jinyan immediately said: "Please let my father-in-law speak, there is something important in this palace to ask to see my father." ”
"Your Highness, wait a minute."
The father-in-law came to Nan Xiao's bedside and reported softly: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked to see him, saying that he had something important. ”
Nan Xiao opened his mouth slowly: "What's the matter?" ”
"This ...... The old slave didn't dare to ask. ”
Nan Xiao pondered for a moment and sighed, "Let him in." ”
He knew that Nan Jinyan would still come to him for the matter of Concubine Hui, no matter what, everything was providential, according to Nan Jinyan's temperament, if he didn't figure things out, he wouldn't give up.
"Father!" Nan Jinyan knelt beside Nan Xiao's bed.
Nan Xiao scurried up, and his father-in-law helped him cushion his back with a pillow again, and pulled Nan Xiao's quilt up.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Father, my son just received a letter under the city tower." Nan Jinyan took the letter to her father-in-law and presented it, "Erchen wants to ask, is what the letter said true?" ”
Nan Xiao opened the letter, and after reading it, he coughed lightly, "Who got this letter from?" ”
"It was given to his son by a guard, saying that it was a child who asked him to pass it on."
Nan Xiao handed the letter to his father-in-law, looked at Nan Jinyan and asked, "Then, do you think what you said in the letter is true or false?" ”
"Erchen...... Erchen doesn't know ......"
The father-in-law walked over and helped Nan Jinyan up, "Your Highness, get up, it's cold on the ground." ”
"Yes, your mother concubine is indeed from Beili, cough cough ......" The father-in-law brought tea, Nan Xiao blew it, drank a few sips, and then said: "She was brought back from Beili by me." ”
"What?"
Nan Xiao had guilt in his eyes, "Back then, I drove the expedition in person, Beili was defeated, I met your mother concubine in Beili City, I fell in love at first sight, but I didn't know that she was already a wife, and your mother refused to return to the Southern Jin Dynasty with me, so I sent someone to forcibly bring her back."
Later, not long after, I found out that your mother was three months pregnant, and I wanted the imperial doctor to take out the child in her womb, but she was forced to die, so in order not to hurt her life, I agreed to give birth to the child.
It may be because when he came to the Southern Jin Dynasty, he had fetal gas on the road, which caused the child to be born before he was full-term.
So, when the child was born, he ordered someone to send him out of the capital, and lied to her that the child could not be saved, and I don't know where it went, dead or alive.
Later, there was you, because of your mother's body, which caused you to bleed heavily when she gave birth to you, and since then, I have been separated from her forever, and I will never see each other again.
The courtiers talked a lot, rumors about you spread, and some even said that they could not keep you, and in order to keep you and keep the only thought of your mother, I had to order that everything about your mother be destroyed. ”
"So...... So this is the reason why Erchen couldn't find information about his mother after searching for it. Nan Jinyan rushed over and grabbed Nan Xiao's hand, "Then, what about the portrait?" But there is also a portrait of the mother? ”
Nan Xiao nodded, gave his father-in-law a look, and his father-in-law turned around and walked to a bookcase in the dormitory, gently turning the vase on the bookcase, only to see that the counter immediately separated from both sides, revealing a dark room.
Nan Jinyan followed her father-in-law into the secret room, the walls were full of portraits of Concubine Hui, which were full of objects from her daughter's family, and her father-in-law arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, here are the relics of Concubine Hui, please be careful when Your Highness looks at it." ”
When Nan Jinyan saw his mother for the first time, he burst into tears and knelt in the secret room crying silently......
