That night, Zhao Zhen went back to the house with Yixuan. The two of them each took a step back, Zhao Zhen promised that nothing like this would happen again in the future, and Yi Xuan also promised that he would treat the concubine better.
Zhao Zhen got up very early the next day, and Yixuan noticed that he got up and followed, asking him if he was going to see the concubine.
Zhao Zhen let out a little embarrassed "um", thinking that Yixuan would be angry, but Yixuan smiled and said very generously: "I'll go with you." โ
Zhao Zhen looked at her curiously.
Yixuan sat on the edge of the bed, winked at him, and said in a very ordinary tone: "Shouldn't a daughter-in-law say hello to her mother-in-law?" โ
Hearing Zhao Zhen's words last night, Yi Xuan suddenly felt that the concubine was quite pitiful, besides, in case this one in the mansion was the real concubine, she couldn't make the relationship too stiff.
She is willing to bow her head first, even if it is for Zhao Zhen, so as not to make it difficult for him.
Zhao Zhen bent her lips slightly, walked over and sat down, leaned into her ear and said "thank you", and then pressed her little head into her arms, "It just so happens that our family has breakfast together." โ
By the time the two of them had washed up, the concubine's meal had already been set. The concubine was supported by the maid, and sat down on the stool weakly, looking like she had no appetite.
"The daughter-in-law greets her mother-in-law."
Yixuan and Zhao Zhen came in hand in hand, and after entering the house, they withdrew their hands, and behaved in a good manner, not as perfunctory as yesterday. Zhao Zhen also shouted a mother. The concubine glanced at Yixuan with disdain, then looked at her son, and said in a sour tone: "I still know that I will come back." โ
Zhao Zhen bowed his head and was speechless. The concubine didn't lose her temper, and after being quiet for a while, she knocked the bowl with chopsticks, "Sit down." โ
I don't know if this was said to Zhao Zhen alone, or to their husband and wife. But it was already surprising that the concubine could have this attitude, they tacitly glanced at each other, and Zhao Zhen took Yixuan's hand again and pulled her to sit down on the edge of the dinner table together.
The concubine's eyes glanced over the hands they were holding, Yi Xuan was afraid that the concubine would have another seizure and wanted to withdraw it, Zhao Zhen held her tightly and looked at her mother very calmly.
It seems to be an expression of determination.
The breakfast menu is very simple, congee, steamed rice noodle cake with osmanthus sugar, xiao long bao, ulva sauce with pepper oil, and shortbread. The three of them ate silently, and Yixuan wanted to speak, but when she saw the concubine's hanging face, she didn't have the courage.
"Zhen'er, do you remember Wu Cairen?" The concubine suddenly asked.
Zhao Zhen was a little confused, "Remember, why did my mother suddenly mention her?" โ
Wu Cairen was the new favorite that came out when his mother was getting the holy favor, and he didn't pay attention to it when he heard that the ending was not very good.
The corners of the concubine's mouth moved, as if she was smiling, and her tone was intriguing: "She was spoiled for a while, and she offended many sisters in the palace." The first emperor protected her for a while, but he couldn't protect her for a lifetime, and when the first emperor's fresh energy passed, there was immediately a high-level lady to deal with her, and finally committed suicide by hanging a beam. โ
Yixuan listened to it very well, and always felt that the concubine's words meant something, rather than simply recalling the past.
It sounded like a warning to her.
"There were a few times at night when it was clear that I was accompanying the holy driver, but she had to come and say that she couldn't sleep at night because she was worried about the first emperor, even if she was a palace watchman in my palace, as long as she could see the first emperor. The first emperor was so moved by her that he went to her overnight. โ
Yi Xuan is now sure that the concubine is indeed talking about last night. Although Zhao Zhen is her son and not her husband, the storyline is similar.
She lowered her head and took two mouthfuls of porridge.
"Zhen'er, these women are born lewd, and they can't live without men, so they have to use all the flattering means to keep men firmly by their side. They can do everything for men, Zhen'er, do you know 'Bai Mei Gu', this medicine is too much for a woman to conceive a child......" The concubine spoke in a slow and methodical tone, occasionally with a little sneer.
Zhao Zhen understood that her mother was scolding Yixuan with insinuations, and the scolding was particularly ugly and vicious. He had a calm face, suddenly slammed the bowl on the table, and looked at the concubine with an expressionless face.
"Mother, have you said enough?"
Withholding, it seemed that the anger that was about to explode at any time, the voice was very low, like a sudden explosion of muffled thunder, and the world suddenly fell silent.
The concubine looked at her son in amazement, knowing that her son was really angry, and she also knew how to be proportionate, so as not to force Zhao Zhen into a situation where she could not bear it. She sighed, picked up a few grains of rice with her chopsticks, and said stupidly, "I'm upsetting you again, aren't I?" You forgive your mother for being old, and you can say whatever you want, and you don't think much about it. If you offend the prince somewhere, please also ask the prince Haihan. โ
Zhao Zhen held his breath in his chest, hanging up and down, his eyes were red, and he couldn't say a word.
What else can you say, his mother calls him "Wangye", and she also calls him "Haihan", should he apologize at this time as a son? But his mother's words just now are really vicious, if he apologizes, he is afraid that his mother will be even more arrogant in the future.
Their mother and son come and go, Yixuan listened quietly, without any expression, only ate a small half of a bowl of porridge, and the taste was the same as chewing wax. She put down her chopsticks, stood up and said, "I'm full, the princess eats slowly, I'm out." โ
Zhao Zhen looked at her very guiltily, and also stood up and said that he was full and wanted to go out with her. Yixuan glanced at him hesitantly, and after thinking about it, she still didn't speak in front of the concubine.
When the two of them left the house, they immediately felt that the atmosphere was much more relaxed, and the air was fresh and smelly. Yixuan stopped in the hallway, shook his hand and said, "You go back, I want to be alone." โ
"I'll be with you." Zhao Zhen was a little anxious.
Yixuan smiled, lowered her eyes and sighed, "It's good that your mother didn't scold me on her face, so I thought she was reminiscing about the past and didn't care about her." Go back, the concubine will lose her temper even more if she can't see you. โ
Zhao Zhen hesitated, "Where are you going?" โ
"I'm going to meet Wei Xiang. Although he will report things to you every once in a while, it is not a way to do this in the long run, and you are still in charge of major military affairs. โ
Zhao Zhen nodded, "It's okay." You can bring back all the backlog of official documents, and I'll take the time to read them. โ
Yi Xuan smiled a little.
The concubine's words were unpleasant, but she had not heard anything more unpleasant than this. When she first took over the Beizhen Fusi before, many ministers pointed at her nose and scolded, saying that she was a fox and a charmer, causing chaos to the court, and how much bad words were behind her back. Later, she really took this position, and even the men in the court were afraid, and they began to say that she was a femme fatale, and she was so vicious that she owed the man to clean up, and it would be good to clean it up once or twice.
Most of the time she endured it, and when she couldn't bear it anymore, she would take one or two out to kill the chickens and make an example. Most of the men who can say this kind of thing are small-bellied chicken intestines and have no real skills, if you scare him, he will be much more settled.
For the concubine, she put up with it once or twice, and if it became more and more excessive, she didn't plan to be a gas bag. If you want to fight back, you must fight back neatly and cleanly, so that others no longer dare to say you from behind.
What is she afraid of? She was never afraid.
After Yixuan returned to the house, Shuang'er knew that she hadn't eaten anything and asked the kitchen to make some again. After eating, Yixuan went to the yard for a walk, and then asked Shuang'er to prepare the car and went directly to the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen.
The Yamen of Fusi in Beizhen is heavily guarded, there is only one gate in and out, heavily guarded, surrounded by high walls, and basically no one can get in. Because Yixuan is the princess of Yu, she can enter and exit freely. She said that she was going to come to Lord Wei, and the guard respectfully said to show her the way, Yixuan smiled and waved her hand, saying no, she recognized it herself.
She has been in this place for four years, and she knows exactly what each building is doing and what the secret passages are.
Wei Xiang, where she used to work, never moved in, and was still in his room. Yixuan found the room and stood outside, hesitating to knock on the door, and the door was opened.
Wei Xiang stood in the room, looking at her quietly, his expression was a little dazed, as if he couldn't believe that the person standing at the door was her.
Yi Xuan was stunned for a moment, and said hello unnaturally: "Wei, Lord Wei?" โ
I haven't seen you for too long, and no matter how close you are, you will feel unfamiliar. Just now she was still thinking about how to deal with him, when the door suddenly opened, startling her.
Wei Xiang smiled, pulled the door a little wider, and said, "You don't need to call Master Wei, it's better to call me Wei Xiang as before." He paused, then suddenly added, "I like the name you call me." โ
Yi Xuan didn't know what he meant by "like", she just thought about the pure side - well, he was just used to hearing people call him by his name.
"I'm just being polite to you."
She walked in and brought a slight gust of wind, and the wind had her scent in it, warm and sweet. Wei Xiang's hand was on his eyebrow bone, and the Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.
He closed the door.
After Yi Xuan came in, he looked at the official documents and recitals on the table without fear, he was originally standing, and he sat down and sat on Wei Xiang's seat. Wei Xiang stood aside, without the slightest sign of stopping it, his gaze was very light, so faint that she would not notice it, but it was really stuck to the girl's body.
He wondered if he was a little greedy.
But he finally could see her again, where was he willing to let go of this opportunity.
Be greedy, be greedy, anyway, he wasn't a very upright person.
The girl sat there, her head bowed slightly, staring at the official document in her hand, as if nothing else could interfere with her. She even forgot that she should have exchanged a few words with Wei Xiang first, as a minimum of courtesy.
Wei Xiang found that it was very difficult to stand and look at her, so he also sat down, his hands were diagonally propped up on his head, and the girl's long eyelashes were covered, making it difficult for people to see the expression in her eyes.
Yixuan realized the movement here, raised her head in confusion, and looked at him.
