Chapter 69: Fighting in the Open and in the Dark (9)
"Eh, yes......" Concubine Pei was a little weak-hearted.
"Oh, what are you talking about?" Yeli pretended not to care.
Concubine Pei glanced at her son and said with a smile: "What else can two women talk about?" Naturally, it's a short matter for parents. ”
Thinking that it was a lonely day in the palace, Concubine Pei was a little sad, and said: "Li'er, you are outside the palace, and you don't have much time to accompany your mother, it's rare that people have a cute temperament, good patience, and are willing to spend time with me, an old woman, so you don't have a cold face to others all day long, as if others owe you something, which makes people feel congested." ”
Yeli's lips squirmed, and she wanted to say, that woman is good to you and doesn't want to take advantage of you? But when he thought about it, the concubine was not only much better these days, but also had a much more cheerful temperament, and the smile on her face was increasing day by day, and it seemed that that woman had indeed brought her a lot of fun......
That's it, isn't it just a little woman, what big waves can she turn? As long as the mother is happy, let her go.
Thinking about it like this, his expression softened even more: "Mother, my son just asked casually, but you said so many words?" It's like your son is not your own son, but Miss Ye is your daughter. ”
Concubine Pei glanced at her son, a little funny: "What, the mother concubine is good to Mengmeng, are you jealous?" Hehe, this girl is empathetic, patient and good, sweet mouth, smart and well-behaved, if it is really my daughter, then I will wake up laughing if I am not asleep? Actually, the mother originally wanted to recognize her as a righteous daughter, but she ......"
The concubine paused, and looked her son up and down with a pair of eyes.
Yeli was so uncomfortable by her mother that she laughed and said, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”
Concubine Pei asked with a smile: "Son, there are still a few months, and you will be twenty-four, right?" ”
Yeli said "um".
Concubine Pei sighed: "Alas, the days go by so fast, in the blink of an eye, you are twenty-four, and your mother is old, when will you bring a daughter-in-law back to your mother?" ”
……
The night is a bit stuffy. “…… Mother, why do you say this in a dignified manner? ”
"Why don't you say it? Others are like you, and they have a group of wives and concubines, and a group of children. Look at the other concubines in the palace, they have long been grandmothers, only me, and I haven't even seen the shadow of my grandson. ”
"Mother Concubine......" Yeli was speechless, lowered her head, but Ye Jingjing's fair and pretty face involuntarily appeared in her mind. He thought of her sweet smile, her gentle voice, and her eyes as bright as starlight, and even imagined her snuggling up in his arms with a red hijab......
However, he soon extinguished these unrealistic thoughts.
Jingjing already has a lover, and she can't be nice to him anymore.
His mood became inexplicably irritable, and his tone of voice became a little impetuous: "Mother, I'll talk about my son's affairs later." There are three days left until your birthday, do you want to go out of the palace to relax? My son wants to hold a birthday banquet for you in the palace, what does the mother think? ”
"To your palace?" Concubine Pei hesitated, originally, she still wanted to go out for a walk, but when she thought of Mengmeng, she dispelled her thoughts and said with a smile: "That's it, why bother going to your house to toss?" I have already thought about it, and when the time comes, I will set up a few tables in the meditation garden and invite a few old ladies to have a small gathering. ”
Yeli thought about it, nodded and said, "That's okay, since the mother concubine has made up her mind, the son will obey." When the time comes, the son will send two suckling sheep, and our mother and son will roast and eat? ”
"Shall we?" Concubine Pei squinted at her son. "Li'er, are you going to come that day?"
Yeli was stunned for a moment and looked at his mother. "Mother, what are you...... Don't want your son to come and celebrate your birthday? ”
"Uh, no, the concubine means ......" Concubine Pei consciously lost her words and hurriedly covered up. It's just that all the old ladies in the palace that day are women, and they will find it inconvenient for you to be here. ”
Yeli felt a little hurt in his heart.
He felt that the concubine seemed to dislike him a little... However, he has always been filial and obedient, so he had to respond: "That's okay, when the time comes, my son will order someone to send two suckling sheep into the palace." ”
Concubine Pei breathed a sigh of relief, looking at her son's lonely expression, she suddenly felt unbearable.
However, when she thought of Mengmeng, she was in trouble again, so she had to comfort her son in her heart: Child, don't be sad, you will be grateful to your mother in the future......
Let's say that Ye Mengmeng's master and servant returned to the mansion, just in time for dinner. Ye Mengmeng was tired for a day and hungry for another day, so her appetite was naturally very good, and she ate three bowls of rice with a bowl in her hand.
Yun Cui was dumbfounded. Miss's appearance is less elegant than that of their countrymen......
Ye Mengmeng wiped her mouth after eating, looked around, didn't see her little secretary, and asked, "Where are you Sister Yundie?" ”
"Miss, isn't Sister Yundie painting in the study?"
"Drawing?" Ye Mengmeng suddenly woke up and patted her head. "Look at my brain!" Bounced up, shouting as he ran out of the house. "Tell Mama Li to send a dinner to the study."
In the study, several paintings were about to be completed, and Yun Die rubbed her arm.
Ye Mengmeng hurriedly stepped forward and pinched her neck and arms.
Yun Die was a little flattered. "Miss, you don't have to do this...... Slaves don't dare! ”
Let the young lady serve her? She's afraid she can't afford it...
"Why don't you dare? You've been hungry and tired all afternoon, but you're afraid that your arms and neck are already sore. ”
When Miss said this, Yun Die really felt that her neck was sore, and she only heard Miss shout: "Yun Cui, Yun Cui, why hasn't dinner been served yet?" ”
"It's coming, it's coming." Yun Cui responded in a row and walked in with a plate of dinner.
Ye Mengmeng hurriedly took the plate and put it on the table, and then pulled Yun Die to sit down.
"Don't be busy talking about anything else, put down the painting first, eat first, and then have the strength to work when you are full."
"Hmm," Yun Die nodded vigorously. Miss is so good to her, how can she be worthy of her if she doesn't work hard?
While Yun Die was eating, Ye Mengmeng picked up a pair of paintings and admired them, and secretly sighed, this Yun Die is really a talented woman, it seems that she has picked up a treasure.
Yuncui leaned over and asked, "Miss, is this okay?" ”
Ye Mengmeng nodded and said, "It's almost, let's go shopping tomorrow." I heard that there is a street in the west of Beijing, a street of famous calligraphy and painting. Let's go there and take a look. ”
Yun Cui's mind turned quickly: "Miss, do you want to sell these paintings?" ”
"Sell?" Ye Mengmeng smiled "fluttering". "Don't sell it, don't sell it, these paintings painted by your Sister Yundie are priceless treasures, don't I want to sell them?"
Yun Cui's eyes lit up: "Really? Miss, so Sister Yundie is a painter? In the countryside before, I heard that a famous painter, a painting can be sold for thousands of taels of silver, Sister Yundie has five paintings, isn't it possible to sell for tens of thousands of taels of silver? ”
