Chapter 294
Qi Yanhong lowered his eyes and was silent, and the lower part of his eyebrow bone was shaded by the faint candlelight, adding a bit of melancholy.
The night breeze blew and the corners of his clothes swayed, he packed up his mood and came to the ancestral hall again, where the ancestors of the Qi family were enshrined, and his mother was still locked up.
The light of the lantern under the porch is reflected in the room through the window, and together with the candlelight on the table, the warm yellow has a warm and peaceful smell.
But the scene in the house was not as he imagined, the broken porcelain on the floor, the mess on the table, all showed that his mother was still the one who was arrogant, refused to bow her head, and was bent on fighting for power, but could never learn clever methods, and put their children in danger again and again.
He, because he is the male of the family and the only heir, has been taken by Qi Shangshu since he was a child, and he has been taught by good intentions, although he has not become a person who is good at management like Qi Shangshu, but he is not stupid, a selfish person who blindly knows only interests and does not plan for the overall situation.
At this moment, he has never been so lucky, if he also grew up next to his mother, then the eyes blinded by money and interests, like his sister, he can't see family affection and family glory in his bones at all, and he only seeks benefits for himself, but in the end he dies on this road.
The reason why my aunt can take Qi Miao so well is just because my aunt feels sorry for her daughter, and she hopes that her daughter can be happy in her life, marry into her husband's family, teach her husband and children, get her husband's favor, and her children and grandchildren can be safe and obedient.
The aunt used sincerity, the love of power to nurture Qi Miao, Qi Miao's intelligence, kindness, and empathy, all of which showed the wisdom and thoughtfulness of the woman, which should have brought Qi Miao's future life extremely smooth, but because of her sister's selfishness, she was helplessly pushed into the deep palace.
When the holy decree arrived at the Qi family, his father put on the lanterns, never thought that his sister was about to die, and blindly immersed himself in the matter of Qi Miao's canonization of Qi Concubine. Yes, the holy decree is lifted, the crisis of the Qi family is lifted, no one in the court dares to probe the emperor's deep meaning, there is an endless stream of congratulations, gifts are piled up, and the banquet is like flowing water until the sun sets in the west and gradually subsides.
These can't calm the sorrow in his heart, his two sisters because of the interests of the family, have different results, life and death are different, how can he not be heartbroken, taking heavy steps, when he came here, he wanted to complain to his mother, but it was a crystal dream.
Mrs. Qi heard the noise of drums outside early in the morning, Qi Miao canonized Qi Concubine, the lintel of the Qi family will not be ashamed because of her daughter, Concubine Qi was not only rejected by the emperor, Qi Shangshu also expelled him from the house, there is no such person on the family tree, it can be seen how ruthless Qi Shangshu's heart is, and his own flesh and blood can be used so thoroughly.
Three days, today is the last day, after tonight, her daughter is a ghost on the road to the underworld, but as a mother, she has no power to return to heaven, even if she knows that her daughter has done wrong, as a mother, she is still reluctant to beat and scold, not to mention the cold road of death.
Her hands were clasped on the table, and even her nails were bloodied, unable to reduce the pain in her heart in the slightest.
Qi Yanhong walked slightly drunk like this, his face flushed with wine, and he held on to the door frame, so that he could barely support his crumbling body.
"What are you doing here? Don't you think your sister is miserable enough? Your father asked you to come over and supervise your mother, can't you go and burn a piece of paper for your sister? Why? You are all her relatives, can you be cold-blooded like this? ”
Facing his mother's questioning, Qi Yanhong was completely cold-hearted, "Mother, I have always blamed my son and father for not saving my sister from the bottom of my heart, but my mother asked herself, have you fulfilled your obligation to educate your sister, if your sister is knowledgeable and knows how to measure, how can you get to where you are today." ”
"You keep saying that our father and son are cold, if you discipline your sister strictly, why did you come to the private meeting with the emperor a few years ago, it was you who ruined your sister's life, such a fool, and dared to let her enter the palace, it was to kill yourself, and almost subverted your son and the entire Qi family."
"Mother, have you ever asked what my son experienced in the palace that day, my sister was used for the so-called rights, and she actually wanted to cut my own brother, mother, this is your good daughter."
"If the Qi family doesn't exist, you can still sit in the ancestral hall as you do now, you are already a prisoner under the stairs, do you know that the food in the cell is rancid? The water is muddy, and even the cell boss will hand you down, and when the time comes, who cares who you used to be? ”
"In your eyes, the Qi family doesn't matter, but all your dignity and brocade clothes and food come from the Qi family, even Qi Miao, you can't see the aunt in your eyes at all, you know how to tell Qi Miao, when the Qi family was in her shelter, the Qi family fell, and Qi Miao was a beggar on the street, slaughtered by others."
"And what did you teach your sister, as long as she climbs high, everything can be called by her, the son asked you, if one day, your sister wants you to go under the knife and use the entire grandfather's family as cannon fodder, can you still sit here so calmly and say, you don't care if you leave the Qi family."
Qi Yanhong staggered and leaned on the chair, stabilized his figure, and looked condescendingly at this mother who gave him life, but never raised him. qq
"My son is very fortunate that he has not been raised by you, otherwise, it will be a small tree, and there is no possibility of growing into a towering tree, and the crooked one will become a crooked neck tree, mother, this is the last time my son will come to see you, in the future, this ancestral hall, except for the necessary sacrifices, the son will not come again."
"Father, don't think about it there, he will give you a chance, my grandfather has already sent a congratulatory gift, and proposed to record Qi Miao in your name, this is the glory of the Qi family, and my grandfather also wants to get this glory."
Mrs. Qi's eyes widened, full of anger, Qi Yanhong smiled coldly, and the laughter echoed in the ancestral hall for a long time, looking even more gloomy and weird, "It's a pity, Qi Miao doesn't agree, she has already enlightened the emperor and earned a life for her aunt, and now her aunt is a flat wife, a flat wife with a life, and her status is far above you." ”
"And your proud sister, the sister you miss, has been in the palace for so long, even if you give birth to the eldest prince, you are still the wife of the second-class master, but you are white, my sister has never thought of giving you a decree, this is the difference, you see, more than ten years have passed, and my aunt is still standing on your head."
"Qi Miao has been favored, and his grandfather actually said during the banquet that he has never had a granddaughter who knows no etiquette like his sister, and even agreed to his father's decision to imprison you in the ancestral hall forever in order not to offend Qi Miao and his aunt."
"From now on, the Qi family only has a flat wife, a first-class wife, and no longer has your status, and even the house is silent, and there is only one lady from now on, and the son is all about it, so you can do it yourself."
Mrs. Qi was still shaking her mind, Qi Yanhong had already withdrawn and left, walked out, and suddenly felt relaxed, the decadence and powerlessness when she came disappeared, her mother was like a sister, there was no cure, then the only way was to let them fend for themselves, he was powerless to return to the sky, so he decided to let go.
Back to his courtyard, the daughter-in-law greeted her, full of shyness, the maid and the mother-in-law bowed her head and said nothing, all with a sweet smile, as soon as she asked, he knew that he was going to be a father, and after looking forward to it for a long time, a happy sweetness was born from the heart, gushing out of all limbs, and he smiled comfortably.
The camel bell followed Qi Miao's side, and the eldest prince also followed Qi Miao, who was originally going to be sent to Concubine Yin, Qi Miao pleaded with the emperor, and Concubine Yin took the initiative to show favor, saying that she was unwell, and she was afraid that she would not be able to take the eldest prince well, so the emperor agreed.
"Niangniang, Concubine Qi Niangniang will be Bintian in one more hour, the slave and maid dare to let you take the eldest prince to see, and the slave and maid will be a cow and a horse in the future, and they will never be half-hearted." Camel Bell grew up with Concubine Qi since she was a child.
Qi Miao understood her feelings, but the dungeon was eerie and terrifying, and it was indeed not suitable for the eldest prince.
"Concubine Qi is about to reach the limit, what the emperor thinks in his heart, I can't guess for a while, besides, the eldest prince is young, if he is scared, what should I do?"
Wonderful's words are reasonable, and the camel bell knelt on the ground and wept silently: "Or, let the imperial dining room make some pastries that she likes to eat on weekdays, you can bring them over, it can be regarded as seeing her off, tell her that the eldest prince is the emperor's blood and blood, and he also has the blood of the Qi family, and I will treat him well." ”
Camel Ling gratefully went to prepare, Qi Miao hugged the eldest prince, thinking about what to do? The footsteps of the little emperor sounded above the main hall.
She hurriedly pulled the eldest prince to get up to greet her, the little emperor was in a good mood today, and hugged Qi Miao up, "Gonggong Li, hand over the eldest prince to the nurse, it's late at night, the child should sleep." ”
Qi Miao buried her head deep in the little emperor's chest, her face was red like fire, after a while, the room was full of ambiguous smell, and the little emperor touched her smooth skin: "Tomorrow, the regent will bring the princess into the palace together, you and Concubine Yin are dressed up beautifully and decently, I will hold a family banquet." ”
"Well, the emperor, you are tired, the concubine will help you relax your muscles." Qi Miao's technique is very unique, but it can quickly relieve fatigue and make people fall asleep.
Concubine Hui and Concubine Min got together, but they were not as proud as before, disgraced, Concubine Hui touched her forehead, "Sister, tomorrow the emperor will hold a family banquet, and the regent and his family are here, but why is there no you and me." ”
Concubine Min pursed her lips, quite annoyed, "Originally, when Concubine Qi was here, she arranged all the banquets in the palace, when could we be missing our sisters, now, Concubine Yin is in charge, she is above the top on weekdays, and she is not in the right way with you and me, how can we have good fruits to eat." ”
"Why don't we go find Concubine Qi, in the past, we walked closer to Concubine Qi."
Concubine Hui looked at Concubine Min's eyes with an indescribable weirdness: "You don't have amnesia, at the beginning, among the people involved in Concubine Qi, there were you and me, but you should calm down and think about it, Concubine Qi sits firmly, how will she clean you and me." ”
