Chapter Thirty-Eight: Opening the Heart
When he asked this question, he was ready for his mother's anger or grief.
But at this time, the mother's expression was unusually calm. just shot a cold light from those good-looking eyes: "How can you think of your mother so badly?" ”
"I didn't!" Zhou Jingxuan breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.
"You're not an illegitimate child, don't you feel at ease?"
Zhao Qingxiang thought to himself: There are still three years before Jing Xuan turns sixteen, and after three years, he will tell him his life experience, as for whether he will return to the palace or not, that is his business.
In this way, Xin'er also went out of the palace, and he could protect himself and his twin brother;
Besides, for such a long time, he will definitely succeed in persuading his daughter to leave the palace.
Zhao Qingxiang is full of confidence in himself.
She handed over a military book to Zhou Jingxuan, lied that it was a forbidden book she picked up, and told him not to be discovered by others!
Zhou Jingxuan didn't suspect anything else, but he took it unhappily, and then put it in his arms.
It wasn't until Zhao Qingxiang took out the fruit pastries he brought that he temporarily dispelled Zhou Jingxuan's unpleasantness.
Shi Zhongzhu got the news and also came here to ask Zhao Qingxiang for his guilt.
Zhao Qingxiang helped him up and said with a smile: Everyone has their own ambitions! Besides, no one is born to be a slave, let him just live his own life with peace of mind.
Shi Zhongzhu breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that his wife had never treated him as a subordinate.
Everyone chatted until the evening, and Zhao Qingxiang excused himself to something, so he got up and said goodbye to them.
Shi Zhongzhu accompanied Zhou Jingxuan and stayed here for one night with Lu Xiaobao.
According to the regulations, Zhou Jingxuan had to return to the barracks the next morning.
Seeing this, Lu Xiaobao and Shi Zhongzhu insisted on sending him to the gate of the barracks, and then they dispersed without mentioning it.
After returning to the palace, Zhao Qingxiang went to his daughter Zhao Xinyue and ran more diligently.
She vowed to protect her daughter until she could see through the bubble-like glory and wealth and leave the palace safely.
Seeing that he had fully won the trust of his daughter Zhao Xinyue, Zhao Qingxiang quietly took her to Xiyuan and told her his story as Zhou Hui.
Zhao Xinyue didn't expect that the father-in-law in front of her was actually a woman, and he was also an abandoned concubine in the cold palace, and he was at a loss.
I heard Zhao Qingxiang sigh and explain the "truth": it was because he insisted on entering the palace that he broke up with Zhao Xinyue and her mother!
"Didn't your mother ever mention to you that she had a friend named Zhou Hui?"
Zhao Xinyue shook her head honestly: "No!" ”
When her mother left, she was young, only four years old. At that time, things were already very vague for her.
Zhao Qingxiang's face was desolate when he heard this, and he was even more desolate: "Your mother must be very angry with me!" ”
She shook her head in pain, as if she was trying to get rid of those bad impressions.
Zhao Xinyue pulled the placket of the other party's clothes. Persuaded softly: "Gong Xie...... Don't be sad, ma'am! ”
Zhao Qingxiang wiped his face with his hand, and then faced his daughter: "Otherwise, you can call me aunt in private, right?" ”
"Good!" In order to make the other party happy, Zhao Xinyue had no choice but to call her aunt.
Zhao Qingxiang sadly hugged her daughter in her arms, and swore in her heart: I will not leave her this time!
She managed to get along with her daughter and became a personal tutor by her side. It is also more convenient to take care of her and teach her martial arts in this way.
In private, Zhao Xinyue calls Zhao Qingxiang her aunt and respects her.
It is cloudy and sunny, and the flowers bloom and fall.
In a blink of an eye, Zhao Qingxiang was in this palace and accompanied his daughter Zhao Xinyue for three years.
This Zhao Xinyue is naturally smart, and she can learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He was soon selected as a talented person and moved into Liuyunfang.
But with Zhao Qingxiang secretly making an obstruction, Emperor Qinglong never summoned her, but he also failed to shake the obsession in her heart.
After three years of getting along, Zhao Xinyue fell in love with this Aunt Zhou from the bottom of her heart, and she was willing to tell her any grievances.
After Emperor Qinglong temporarily changed his mind again and switched to her arms, Zhao Qingxiang persuaded Zhao Xinyue as usual: "Xin'er, the world is big, why do you hang yourself on a tree?"
Besides, do you think the emperor can really live long live? When he dies, you're still young, but what will you do? ”
Zhao Xinyue thought of those women in the cold palace, and finally couldn't help crying: "Auntie, Xin'er will tell you the truth, Xin'er entered the palace for revenge." If you can't get the emperor's favor, Xin'er can't get on the throne, so she can't take revenge? ”
Zhao Qingxiang was shocked when he heard this: "Revenge? Who are you going to avenge you? ”
Recalling the past, Zhao Xinyue was heartbroken: "Back then, my grandfather's family and my mother were all killed by people from Xiaoyaomen!" Now they are doing evil, but the government is ignoring it. The people in the rivers and lakes can't help them.
It is rumored that they have obtained the secret book of the Ghost Mansion, and there are still people in the court.
My father, who alone was no match for them, had to send me into this palace. In order to find out their people in the court, with the help of the emperor's hand, they will be wiped out, so as to avenge my mother and my grandfather's family! ”
Zhao Qingxiang didn't expect that his daughter would avenge herself in this way, if she had expected this to happen, she should have tried her best to get her out of the palace, why should she have suffered more grievances in the past few years?
"Auntie, don't you want to avenge my mother?" Zhao Xinyue burst into tears.
Zhao Qingxiang endured his grievances and persuaded: "Child, there are thousands of ways to take revenge, why do you have to rely on beauty?" Besides, there has never been a shortage of beauties in this harem, how do you think that you must be the one unique? ”
Zhao Xinyue took the silk handkerchief handed over by Zhao Qingxiang and wiped a handful of tears: "We can't beat him again, we can only outwit him by seeking all the grievances!" ”
Zhao Qingxiang scoffed when he heard this: This is also outwitted?
She patted her daughter on the shoulder and reassured her not to be impulsive: "Where is your father now?" ”
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xinyue shook her head: "I don't know, when I left, my father said that he would come here in three years and find a way to contact me." ”
"What about your brother?"
Zhao Xinyue cried and shook her head and didn't answer, although her brother has loved him since he was a child, but this time he broke his heart too much.
Maybe now from the moment he stepped into the palace gate, his brother's heart was dead, right?
"I'll find them for you, but you have to promise me that you won't let the dog emperor get near you for the time being, understand?"
Zhao Qingxiang saw that his daughter didn't speak, so he had to tell a few more words, and then sighed and left.
In the evening of that day, Zhao Qingxiang slipped out of the palace again.
She walked aimlessly on the street, full of emotion: After so many years, what has Jin Weiji become? Is it still the same person? If he knew that he was living in another capacity, would he still accept himself?
And Jin Yongan, the child who was introverted and shy by nature, how is he doing now?
