Chapter 464: Haze (2)
When Changsheng came, Meng Xilan couldn't help frowning slightly when she saw that he had gauze wrapped around his hands: "What's the matter?" ”
Changsheng smiled unmindfully: "Don't worry about the queen mother, Erchen practiced archery earlier, but he accidentally broke his hand by the bowstring, but it was just a flesh wound, and it was not in the way." ”
Meng Xilan's eyebrows frowned even more when she heard this, took his hand, and looked carefully, there was clearly a little blood stain on the gauze.
"Why was you so careless?" Although her tone was reproachful, it was more distressed.
Since she was a child, she has never spoiled him, but she is most afraid of him being hurt. His body is skinny, as long as he is slightly hurt, she will feel it together.
Seeing that his mother was so worried, Changsheng hurriedly smiled and said, "Erchen is really fine." ”
Meng Xilan stared at him and asked, "Your riding shot has always been accurate, why did you miss it today?" ”
Before he was six years old, Changsheng had already learned to draw a bow and shoot arrows. As a child, he was often injured, but when he grew up, he was already handy.
Changsheng lowered his eyes slightly: "Erchen...... Some weren't very attentive, so they got distracted. ”
Meng Xilan sighed secretly. Since he got married, he has been worried about it for a long time.
After a short silence, Meng Xilan patted her son on the shoulder and said, "If you are really upset, it is better to go out of the palace and go to your grandfather's house to relax." ”
Changsheng shook his head and pursed his lips and smiled casually: "Right now, the court is worried about internal and external troubles, government affairs are busy, and my father is so tired...... How can the sons and daughters go out of the palace to play, if they let those ministers know, I don't know what to arrange for the sons and daughters again. ”
He accompanied his father to the court every day, and he was used to listening to the rhetoric of those civil servants, and he also saw a lot of hypocritical faces.
They talk about it, and they are full of reasoning, but they are also full of absurdity.
Changsheng was really tired of seeing the faces of those people, so he often came to this Cining Palace to hide and relax.
"The queen mother, the sons used to think that their father was the king of a country, the king above tens of thousands of people, covering the sky with one hand, and I was the only one. He can decide the life and death of all people in this world, omnipotent and fearless. However......" His tone paused slightly, and he said with a bit of melancholy: "Erchen understands now, even his father can't do anything. As a human being, there will always be things that you can't do! ”
Meng Xilan's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she glanced at Zhu Lu.
Zhulu immediately bowed down and went to the outside, beware of whether there were people walking in and out of the surroundings and accidentally overhearing something.
For a moment, the palace became extraordinarily quiet.
Changsheng held back some words in his heart, and there was nowhere to say, only with his mother could he say it.
Meng Xilan listened quietly, her face was neither angry nor angry. "It's good that you can understand this now."
She paused slightly, and then said, "Your father is also involuntarily. The first emperor was mediocre, and the rivers and mountains of Beiyan were already crumbling...... Your father has taken over for more than ten years, and he has worked hard every day, and you know it. ”
Changsheng nodded heavily: "Erchen naturally knows that Erchen is just ...... It's just that I'm a little worried that my son can't do it himself, like ...... father."
The growing pains, stiff and heavy, pressed on his chest and made people occasionally feel out of breath.
Meng Xilan stretched out a hand to touch her son's face and gently stroked his eyebrows. "The Queen Mother believes in you, at all times. You don't have to be anyone's shadow, you are you. ”
Changsheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then his eyes lit up, and he straightened his back and said, "Erchen will definitely not disappoint the queen mother." ”
Because of the words of the queen mother, the haze that gathered in his heart suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Trust is sometimes the best support.
……
The 100-day banquet of the three princes, everything is simple.
Meng Xilan hugged him and saluted the emperor, which made Zhou Youchen's face show a faint smile.
Liu Nan was not in good health, but he still endured to come here.
She looked at the third prince, who was held in Meng Xilan's arms, with all kinds of pity, and she was both hated and angry in her heart.
The son is hers, but the glory is Meng Xilan's.
She suffered in vain, and only half a life was left, and she survived without dying.
Thinking of this, Liu Nan's eyes couldn't help but burst out with deep hatred. She was afraid that she would lose her temper, so she hurriedly lowered her head, but she didn't know that Song Qing'er on the other side could see it really well.
Song Qing'er didn't bring her sister with her today, in fact, even she didn't want to come to see this excitement. It's just that as a concubine in the palace, she can't help but come, and she has to come.
The third prince was taken care of by the queen mother, and he was chubby, but he was very liked.
Song Qing'er endured the uneasiness in her heart, took the initiative to step forward, hugged the third prince, and did not forget to say a few words to Meng Xilan.
Meng Xilan looked at her and smiled slightly: "Recently, my sister seems to be very busy, and she rarely comes to the palace to walk around." ”
Song Qing'er felt a pang in her heart when she heard this, and hurriedly smiled: "Back to Niangniang, the concubine originally wanted to walk around more, but my sister is a little uncomfortable these days, and the concubine can't pull out." ”
"Oh?" Meng Xilan actually knew it in her heart, but she still asked, "Then is there a big problem with her?" ”
Song Qing'er shook her head slightly: "Back to Niangniang, my sister is fine, it's just that children like to play in the water and are a little greedy." ”
Meng Xilan said lightly: "That's good, when she is completely well, you must hug her over and let the palace take a look." ”
"Yes......" Song Qing'er's mind sank.
When she got out of Cining Palace, the smile on Song Qing'er's face disappeared without a trace in an instant, and she was replaced by a heavy face.
She sat on the sedan chair, rubbed her eyebrows, and thought: It is not a long-term solution to find an excuse to avoid the queen like this.
Just thinking about it, the palace maid beside her reminded softly: "Niangniang, Concubine Liu is in front." ”
Song Qing'er raised her eyes when she heard this, and sure enough, she saw Liu Nan's sedan chair parked not far in front.
She just left early under the pretext of being unwell, why is she still here?
Song Qing'er's eyes were slightly condensed.
She must have felt uncomfortable. Her own flesh and blood were snatched away like this, she must have hated and wronged her in her heart.
If it was left in the past, Song Qing'er would never want to have the slightest connection with Liu Nan. They are both concubines, but her position is now above herself.
She entered the palace earlier than her, but she was not as high as her, and when they met, they inevitably felt embarrassed.
But now, Song Qing'er can understand her mood very well, pity her in her heart, and worry more about becoming the next her.
Liu Nan rarely walks around the palace, and now because of sadness, he wants to stay outside the palace for a while.
Song Qing'er took the initiative to come down, walked up to her, saluted, and talked to her.
"Niangniang, the third prince is really a likable child. Mother is really blessed. ”
Liu Nan didn't hate her, but he also knew that she was a celebrity in front of the queen, so he was a little guarded.
"It's all the work of the queen. With her, how could the third prince be bad? ”
Song Qing'er groaned slightly when she heard this, and said, "Niangniang's body is very good?" Now, although the weather is warm, the sun is gradually becoming poisonous. ”
Liu Nan pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Whether my body is good or not, what else does it matter?" ”
Song Qing'er smiled a little embarrassedly when she heard this, and she didn't know how to answer.
Liu Nan saw that she was not leaving, but still standing here with her, so she asked, "You won't be sent by the queen mother to appease me, right?" ”
Song Qing'er was slightly stunned when she heard this, and hurriedly shook her head: "Of course not." Don't get me wrong, I'm just a little worried about you......"
Perhaps because of the seclusion here, they don't need to be honored with honorific titles.
Liu Nan turned around and looked at her fixedly, and a sad smile suddenly appeared on his face: "I really didn't expect that there would be people in this palace who were worried about me......"
Song Qing'er sighed lightly, put her mind down, and persuaded her: "Sister Liu, you shouldn't think like that. Although the three princes can't be kept by your side, you still have a concubine to keep! You didn't suffer in vain! ”
Liu Nan shook his head again and again: "I only want my son, my third prince." ”
As soon as these words came out, Song Qing'er's expression changed slightly, and she made a gesture of boosing.
"I can't say that!"
Liu Nan sneered: "I'm not afraid." The queen mother Bingxue is smart, how could she not know my careful thoughts. Even if I don't say it myself, she can see it. ”
Song Qing'er sighed again: "Since you know everything, you have to cheer up." As long as the third prince is safe, you don't have to worry too much. ”
Liu Nan looked at her and asked, "If it were you, would you be able to stand it?" ”
Song Qing'er was stunned for a moment, and shook her head frankly: "If it were me, I'm afraid I would have turned the world upside down." ”
It's always easier to comfort others than to convince yourself.
Liu Nan said in a calm tone: "You have to be careful. The queen's mind changes so quickly that people are often caught off guard. At the beginning, when I was pregnant, in order to protect the future, I once asked her that if I had three longs and two shorts, I would entrust the child to my mother's care...... As a result, my mother taught me a lesson, saying that I was cranky, and asked me to raise the baby well and raise the child myself in the future! Her righteous words, I even took it seriously, thinking that as long as I survived this hurdle, I would be able to endure all the hardships. Who knows, after I gave birth, Niangniang suddenly changed her face, not only snatched away the three princes, but also completely broke my mind......"
When Song Qing'er saw her say this, she also said honestly: "Niangniang does this, naturally she has her reasons." The prince and the princess are different, the mother is only the prince under her knees, and she naturally wants to act alone. ”
"Heh, it's all royal blood, what's the difference. Her Royal Highness the princess is still young now, if in a few years, there will be some barbarian foreigners, no one can say that she will not become the second princess. At the beginning, worry-free was a voluntary marriage...... is so loyal, it's all because of the good training of the mother. ”
Her words were straightforward, and it was one sentence that hit Song Qinger's heart.
Liu Nan saw that her face was slightly pale, so she smiled again: "My prince has been snatched away, I can only endure it, or fight!" And you, Her Royal Highness the princess is still young, and the days to come will be so long, you have to be careful. ”
