Chapter 167
"Jia Qiao'er's matter, the mourning family already knows."
Sure enough, after the Queen Mother dismissed her subordinates, the first thing she said was this.
"Queen Mother......" Zhao Mingxu hadn't been alone with his mother for too long, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"You have been exiled all these years", the Queen Mother's eyes suddenly filled with tears, "but he ......"
"Jia Qiao'er has a relationship with the royal brother, and I knew about it as early as when she first married me." , Zhao Mingxu said with comfort, "Yes...... Erchen has never been affectionate towards her. "It's true that you don't have to be ruthless, but Jia Qiao'er made peace with others in the name of his princess, how can she not be angry.
However, because the "adulterer" is a saint today, Zhao Mingxu hides his anger very well.
"Even so, they ...... There was even a sinister obstacle", the Queen Mother said hatefully, "No wonder, Jia Qiaoer was diagnosed as pregnant last year, but you still left resolutely, I think you will know at that time." ”
Zhao Mingxu nodded.
"They deceive people too much!" The Queen Mother remembered the grievances suffered by her youngest son, and she was furious.
"Queen Mother" Zhao Mingxu said with comfort, "Beware of being angry, I am not in Beijing all the year round, you must cherish yourself." ”
The Queen Mother sighed heavily, and said again: "The Queen Mother must have an idea to call you back." ”
The corners of Zhao Mingxu's mouth were slightly sarcastic: "Brother Huang doesn't worry about me." ”
"He's a thief, and now you have no intention of ......, and he has a lot of power, so what's not to worry about?"
I have to say that my mother was too well protected by her father back then, and she couldn't see through her two sons.
Zhao Mingxu was just about to speak, when his ears suddenly moved, and he heard a slight breathing sound outside the door. He knew in his heart that although the imperial brother allowed him to be alone with his mother, he still didn't feel at ease and sent a secret guard to listen.
He swallowed what he originally wanted to say, adjusted his tone slightly, and said indifferently: "The queen mother doesn't have to worry about it, the son is obsessed with the landscape, and he only feels unbridled and chic, and he doesn't want to go back to the land of right and wrong." ”
"But that place is poor and evil after all, you have been clothed and fed since you were a child, even if you can't ......" Although it is a private conversation between the biological mother and son, but in this palace, the queen mother still knows what not to mention, she paused and continued: "That is also a thousand noble county princes, how can you live in such a place all your life." ”
For a lifetime? Zhao Mingxu snorted coldly in his heart, but his face was still indifferent: "Although it is a little remote, it is a good place for a person, that is, to stay there for the rest of his life, and his son is also willing, but he can't serve his mother and fulfill his filial piety, and he hopes that his mother will forgive his sins." ”
"I know you didn't want the queen mother to be embarrassed to say that, that's it." The Queen Mother sighed lightly, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, remembered what the emperor said at the banquet just now, and hesitated: "Could it really be that little lady surnamed Song who tied your heart?" ”
Zhao Mingxu didn't expect the queen mother to suddenly ask about this, of course he was serious about Liuli, before this, Zhao Mingxu had never thought about a woman, Liuli was the first woman who made him want to be careful to protect, but with his current identity, the more he is like this, the more he has to show that he doesn't care.
"Queen Mother", Zhao Mingxu's tone was full of helplessness, "I said it a long time ago, she is just a little bit beautiful, and she can't be elegant." ”
The Queen Mother nodded: "That's right, that kind of country girl, if you are greedy for a while, it's okay" After a pause, she said, "That Jia Qiao'er is not worthy of being your concubine, you still have to find a woman with a good family background and character." ”
Good family background? It's just a matter of character, with the degree to which the imperial brother is now jealous of him, he is not afraid that he will threaten his throne with the help of his father-in-law's power? Zhao Mingxu shook his head and said with a light smile: "My son doesn't have the heart to think about these things now, and the queen mother should not be unhappy because of my birth with the imperial brother." ”
"Your imperial brother is ......" the Queen Mother seemed to have some difficulty in speaking, "Although he has done many things wrong, but in the end it is your eldest brother, you ...... Don't be resentful of him. ”
"Where did the queen mother go," Zhao Mingxu pretended to laugh and said, "I travel all day long, I don't have to do anything, what do I want to buy, the royal brother still gives me endless money, and my son is too late to be grateful, how can I complain?" ”
"If only you could think like that."
The mother and son chattered a lot, and it wasn't until the emperor sent the eunuch twice that the queen mother reluctantly let Zhao Mingxu go back.
Sitting in the carriage back to the palace, Zhao Mingxu sighed faintly, between him and the imperial brother, there will inevitably be a break in the future, I am afraid that when the time comes, it will either you die or I will die, but no matter which side wins, the queen mother will be injured in the end. From the moment Zhao Mingjing took the throne from him, this ending was doomed.
There is no father and son in the heavenly family, Zhao Mingxu remembers that when he was a child, there was a real brotherhood between them, but now, for that position, for the grievances and resentments in their hearts, they always end up being brothers turning against each other and killing each other.
He suddenly remembered the relationship between Liuli and their brothers and sisters, and couldn't help but smile, it was the friendship of the real family, and I don't know what happened to the little girl, she must be having a happy New Year's Day.
At this time, Liuli, who was far away in Dawan Village, was bored.
In the first month, I went to see my sister and brother-in-law, and paid New Year's greetings to Chen Carpenter and Aunt Liu, and there was nothing to do with Liuli, on the tenth day of the first month, Amber also went to Han Xiucai's house to pay New Year's greetings, and Liuli was idle and idle, and wanted to go to the town to have a look.
The Rouge Pavilion has not yet opened, and Wei Zizhi did not close until the 29th of the lunar month, and posted a notice early, saying that it would not open until the 20th of the first lunar month.
In previous years, the doors were opened on time on the sixteenth day of the first month, and the reason why this year is special is because the matter of Fan Dai and Wei Yao is going to be put on the agenda.
Liuli walked to Feihongju again, in the past, it was like a city, but now it is also closed, and it looks deserted. Xie Chun didn't know what he was busy with, and Liuli didn't seem to have seen him for a few days.
During the New Year's Festival, the whole street was also deserted, many shops were closed, and Liuli went in the direction of Ding Kee Restaurant, thinking that it would be closed as well.
When I arrived at the place, I saw that the door was open, and the glass probe looked inside, only to see that the boxes and cabinets were turned over, as if they were moving things, and the shopkeeper Zhou was also there.
"Happy New Year! Why did you open the door at this time? Liuli raised his voice.
Shopkeeper Zhou turned around when he heard the sound, and saw that it was Liuli, and was slightly surprised: "Erniang? How did you come? ”
