Chapter 070: I Want to Wait for You to Come Back
Remember [Qianqian] in one second, and provide you with wonderful reading.
The Queen Mother's face changed slightly.
"If you really like her, your grandmother can also allow you to keep her by your side until she gives birth to an heir, and you can also make her a side concubine." The Queen Mother pondered for a moment, and finally spoke.
In the eyes of Empress Dowager Li, it is a great blessing for a lowly folk woman to be able to stay with the prince and be crowned as a side concubine, which is also the biggest concession she has made for her grandson as a grandmother.
"Nope." Qi Yunyi shook his head, his eyebrows were firm, and said, "She must be a concubine." ”
"Yunyi!" The Queen Mother's phoenix eyes were majestic, and she shouted with her grandson: "Do you know what you are doing?" Then the Zheng family wants you to marry a powerless woman, do you want to disobey your grandmother and obey the Zheng family's wishes? ”
"Grandchildren don't dare." Qi Yunyi knelt down again towards the Queen Mother, he looked into the Queen Mother's eyes, but said in a low voice: "Imperial grandmother, the grandson has never begged you for anything, only this time, the grandson begged you to fulfill." ”
The Queen Mother watched the eldest grandson kneel down in front of her, so pleading, her heart first shook, and then her heart softened, she knew that Qi Yunyi had always been very high-spirited, as he said, since he was a child, he never asked her for anything, even if he made such a great feats for Da Qi and forced the Northwest Hu clan to pay tribute for many years, he never asked the court for any reward, only this time......
"Yunyi, have you really thought it through?" The Queen Mother asked for the last time, "There are many ladies and ladies in Beijing, you don't want anyone, but you want a folk girl as a concubine?" ”
"My grandson thinks very clearly." Qi Yunyi raised his head, his pupils were very calm, and without the slightest hesitation, he spit out a sentence: "Grandson only needs Song Ruyi." ”
"You ....." The Queen Mother sighed in her heart, facing Qi Yunyi's stubbornness, she only didn't know what to do, she was silent for a moment before she said: "After all, she came from a humble background, and it is really inappropriate to suddenly be named a concubine." Grandmother will make a decree to let her marry you as the righteous daughter of Xu Jingzhi, the servant of the Ministry of Works, and in the future, if she has that creation and gives birth to an heir for you, if your mind remains unchanged, grandmother will raise her as a concubine. ”
Qi Yunyi understood that the matter had come to this point, and it was the best result, he closed his eyes, and did not say anything more, only said to the Queen Mother: "Grandson thanked Grandmother." ”
"Your father is waiting for you in the Chaoyang Palace, so you can go now. As for your daughter-in-law, let her stay with me, and when your father and son meet, you will come and pick her up." The Queen Mother ordered quietly.
"Yes." Qi Yunyi replied respectfully, and after speaking, he stood up, saluted his grandmother, and left Shoukang Palace.
The Queen Mother looked at his back and sighed almost inaudibly.
Yanxi Palace.
Qi Yunfei has already changed into a python robe, and entered the palace to greet his mother and concubine.
Seeing her son, Concubine Wen suddenly had a smile on the corner of her lips, and she personally helped her son's body, her eyes were full of love, her jade hand brushed her son's handsome face, and said softly: "This trip, my son has lost a lot of weight." ”
Qi Yunfei didn't care, his eyebrows were heroic and hearty, he only held his mother's arm and asked with a smile: "Mother, how are you doing?" How is the royal grandmother? ”
"It's all good, since you left, the mother concubine has been worried day and night, which can be regarded as looking forward to you returning to Jingshi." Concubine Wen patted her son's hand and asked him to sit down with her.
"Your father, have you ever been to say goodbye?" Concubine Wen selected a grape from the crystal plate, peeled the skin for her son herself, and asked after handing it to her son.
"Mother concubine rest assured, the son has already asked his father to say goodbye, and when the son left from the Chaoyang Palace, he happened to see the eldest brother rushing over from Shoukang Palace."
"This time to welcome the emperor's eldest son back to Beijing, my son has also made a contribution." Concubine Wen looked at Qi Yunfei's eyes full of mother's love and doting for her son, she spoke softly, and her hands were also non-stop, still peeling the fruit for the child.
"This time, I never thought that my father would actually announce to the world, rehabilitate my eldest brother, and send someone to welcome my eldest brother back to Beijing." Qi Yunfei talked about it with his mother, and his eyebrows were also slightly frowned.
"Your father's health has not been as good as before this year, and although his mother does not often serve by his side, he also knows that he is also thinking about the eldest prince in his heart." Concubine Wen lowered her voice and spoke carefully to her son.
"The mother concubine said that the father is thinking about the eldest brother?" Qi Yunfei said, the corners of his lips floated two smiles, as if he was laughing at what his mother said, everyone knows that Emperor Honghua dislikes the eldest son, prefers the third son born to Concubine Zheng Guifei, and even does not hesitate to violate the ancestral teachings, stalemate with the courtiers for several years, depose countless officials, and still refuse to establish a prince.
The mother concubine actually said that the father and the emperor were worried about the eldest son, isn't this a joke?
"Your father has favored Concubine Zheng for many years, and the Zheng family has been in a steady line, and now it has a great tendency to control the government, Yunfei, do you know what the emperor is most taboo about?"
Qi Yunfei's eyes moved, and his words were almost without thinking
, blurted out: "As an emperor, the most taboo thing should be a relative in power." ”
"That's right," Concubine Wen had a look of praise in her eyes, and said to her son: "The eldest son of the emperor came back this time, and he can contain Concubine Zheng and the third prince." ”
"Mother, my son doesn't understand," the smile on the corner of Qi Yunfei's lips slowly faded, he looked at his mother in front of him, and said, "My father loves Concubine Zheng so much, and he loves the third brother the most, why does he want to contain the Zheng family?" ”
The stronger the power of the Zheng family, isn't there more hope for Qi Yunzuo to succeed to the throne?
Concubine Wen shook her head, she gently held her son's hand, and said softly: "Yunfei, you have to remember that your father is first of all the king of a country, he is the emperor of Daqi, and secondly, he will be the husband of Concubine Zheng and the concubine, and your father." ”
Zhaoyang Hall.
When Qi Yunyi stepped into the inner hall, he saw that there were no attendants in the hall, and it was obvious that he had been retreated by Emperor Honghua, and there was only one person by the emperor's side, Gonggong Zhou.
When Gonggong Zhou saw Qi Yunyi, he suddenly felt mixed tastes, he bowed to Qi Yunyi, and only said: "The old slave has seen His Highness." ”
"Father-in-law, please get up." After Qi Yunyi finished speaking, his eyes looked towards the main seat, and the moment he saw Emperor Honghua, Qi Yunyi covered his eyes and knelt down towards his father.
"Erchen has seen his father." Qi Yunyi's voice was low, and he couldn't hear the slightest emotion.
Emperor Honghua looked at his son in front of him, he hadn't seen him for more than a year, Qi Yunyi's figure was as tall and straight as ever, although he was kneeling there, his shoulders were still broad and straight, perhaps because of the border, compared to the noble and handsome of other princes, Qi Yunyi was a little more mature and steady, revealing the general spirit of commanding the three armies.
Emperor Honghua's eyes fell on Qi Yunyi's facial features, and asked himself, Qi Yunyi's facial features are not like him, compared to the nobility of the third, the handsomeness of the fourth, the romance of the fifth, the elegance of the sixth, among all his sons, Qi Yunyi is the one who is out of place, in him, there is neither the arrogant habit of the prince, nor the unique dignity of the prince, he seems to have been born not to belong to the palace, and because of this, Emperor Honghua feels more and more that half of this son is the blood of the common people, in Qi Yunyi's childhood, Every time he saw this son, Emperor Honghua became more and more disliked and disgusted.
It wasn't until Qi Yunyi went to the border that he was able to share weal and woe with the low-level soldiers as a prince, live and die together, and made countless military exploits for Daqi over the years, and the good news flew back to Beijing like snowflakes, until then Emperor Honghua felt that he had always underestimated this son.
He also felt guilty, and even because of this guilt, he gave this son greater rights and more troops, until Qi Yunyi grew wings, and Emperor Honghua relied on this son, but he was also afraid of this son.
"Get up and speak first." Emperor Honghua spoke to his son.
Qi Yunyi stood up.
Looking at his eldest son, who was taller and more powerful than himself, Emperor Honghua's heart tightened slightly, but he didn't show anything on his face, and only asked, "Where have you been in the past year?" ”
"Back to my father's words, my son went to my mother's hometown." Qi Yunyi replied in a deep voice, his voice was neither high nor low, neither happy nor angry, without the slightest emotion.
Hearing him talk about his mother, Emperor Honghua frowned slightly, he was silent for a moment before he said: "I will go to court tomorrow, and I will restore your title and give you back your mansion." ”
"Thank you, Father." Qi Yunyi arched his hand and said, "Erchen heard that the frontier was unstable and the Hu people were in turmoil, so he also asked his father to issue an order and allow Yunyi to lead troops to the north to support. ”
"These things will be discussed later, as soon as you come back, you will live in Jingshi for a while." Emperor Honghua downplayed the matter and exposed the matter.
When Qi Yunyi returned to Shoukang Palace, it was already dark.
Ruyi stayed in the room, several palace maids stood aside, and there were a few plates of delicate snacks on the table, but she didn't move until she heard her husband's footsteps, Ruyi's heart jumped, and when she saw Qi Yunyi push the door in, Ruyi stood up and ran to her husband's side.
"Husband....." Ruyi's voice was small and soft, and her fingers grabbed Qi Yunyi's sleeve, as if to say, you are finally back.
Qi Yunyi knew that he would leave Ruyi alone in Shoukang Palace, the surrounding environment was unfamiliar, and all the people were also unfamiliar, it was indeed difficult for his wife, he grabbed Ruyi's body, and without waiting for the palace maids to salute him, he said to them: "You all go down." ”
"Yes." The palace ladies came out one after another, and there were only two husbands and wives in the house.
"Is it difficult for you to have them?" After everyone left, Qi Yunyi looked at the little daughter-in-law in her arms, her voice was gentle and pitying, but she was afraid that someone would bully her.
"No," Ruyi shook her head, "they were all very kind, and they brought me snacks to eat." ”
Ruyi said, pointing his little hand to the table.
Qi Yunyi glanced at those dim sums and asked gently, "Why don't you eat them?" ”
"I want to wait for you to come back and eat together." Ruyi twisted her fingers lightly, when she was in Xihe Village, no matter how late Qi Yunyi came home, she would have to wait for him.
