Chapter 40: The Child
This little gesture didn't attract too much attention.
Xie Guifei's tears were still hanging on her face, and when she saw her son coming out with all his beards and tails, she was so excited that she cried and laughed, rushed forward and hugged him, and asked again and again, "Are you okay?" Are there any injuries? Is there something wrong? ”
Crying again, he couldn't help but hit him with his fist: "Why don't you know how to take care of yourself, if you really want to save people, you won't let people in?" You're trying to scare your mother to death, aren't you? Do you know that you are the lifeblood of your mother! ”
One after another, there is a lot of endless meaning.
Empress Xue frowned when she saw it, Concubine Xie was born as a concubine after all, even if she was the daughter of a big family, she also exuded a small family spirit.
In public, Mo Beichen is so old, what does she look like when she hugs and hugs?
What's more, what kind of mother, she has a side room, even if she is already a concubine, she is only a concubine, and Mo Beichen can only call her "mother concubine" when she stands up to the sky, it is really unruly!
Emperor Liang didn't open his mouth to accuse, but he also took two steps forward and looked at the second prince carefully before saying, "Okay, it's okay." ”
Mo Beichen broke free of the restraints by himself, avoided Concubine Xie Guifei's pull without a trace, and softly comforted her for a long time before calming her down.
Since people are fine, it is naturally impossible to mess around with Queen Xue again, and Concubine Xie is really happy and annoyed in her heart.
Fortunately, his son was blessed with a great life, and such a crisis could be turned into a disaster, but he was angry that he was really unscathed, causing her to have a complete false alarm, and it was not good to say anything more about the queen.
With this indescribable ambivalence, Concubine Xie pulled the second prince to talk affectionately, but the corner of her eyes glanced at Jiang Mengyun who was standing aside holding something.
Queen Xue and the third princess are not easy to say, but this Jiang Mengyun can't think of escaping so easily.
Xie Guifei did it when she thought of it, and in the last sentence, she was still promising Mo Beichen "good, good", and in the next sentence, she suddenly turned around and asked, "You are that Jiang Mengyun?" ”
was named, naturally it was not good to pretend to be stupid, Jiang Mengyun's arms were full of things, and it was inconvenient to salute, so he only nodded and replied: "Yes." ”
"Sure enough, the small family doesn't understand the rules!" Concubine Xie pursed the corners of her mouth and snorted coldly.
However, with a subtle expression, the previous tenderness and sweetness towards Emperor Liang were completely gone, and the cold greetings when facing Mo Beichen also disappeared completely, leaving only the resentment and dissatisfaction with Empress Xue.
It seems that Concubine Xie is disgusted with Queen Xue and generally disgusted with her.
It's no wonder that in order to save her today, the second prince has been in danger twice in a row, especially Fang Cai, if he hadn't escaped in time, he would have become a corpse under the ruins at this moment.
Jiang Mengyun was silent.
Empress Xue couldn't hear this: "What the concubine said is inappropriate. The Jiang family is famous all over the world for generations of meritorious families, Mengyun is also the general, the daughter of the general's mansion, and now she is the emperor and the guest of the palace, how can you hide it with a small family. ”
Concubine Xie Guifei's "small door and small household" naturally refers to the Xue family, and Queen Xue naturally knows it.
She was also smart, and she knew that she couldn't fight for a name in this, so she simply pulled the conversation to the Jiang family in Daning.
It's a pity that Concubine Xie is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and when she heard this, her smile suddenly became even colder: "What meritorious family?" How did Hongu hear that it was a group of rebels? Didn't you say that the Jiang family was connected to the nine clans? ”
Her face was full of spring breeze, but the words she said were extremely vicious: "If it is really a family of meritorious deeds, loyal and patriotic, then it should be for thousands of generations." What's more, she didn't come to join us alone? ”
Empress Xue's face turned pale, and she opened her mouth to refute, but she didn't know where to start.
Emperor Liang frowned, shook his head disapprovingly, and said, "Concubine, don't talk nonsense. The Jiang family was slandered and framed, and it was the mediocrity and incompetence of Emperor Ningguo. ”
He said and sighed: "It's a pity, if he really took refuge in my Daliang at the beginning, Jiang Zhengdao is a peerless general in the world, where is there still a need for my Beichen to lead the troops so hard now." ”
Treating Jiang Mengyun, Emperor Liang already knew her ability, so he was still very polite.
Since it is polite, it will not be slandered at will.
Emperor Liang shook his head at Concubine Xie Guifei: "As for Miss Jiang's visit to my Liang, it is also because she abandoned the darkness and turned to the light. Concubine, you still have to learn from the queen at this point. ”
Now that Emperor Liang has opened his mouth, Concubine Xie naturally can only shut up.
glared at Jiang Mengyun angrily, thinking about how to hold her accountable today, Mo Beichen suddenly exclaimed beside him: "Oh, why is there ash in your hair, concubine?" It seems to be ...... on the face."
"What's wrong?" Concubine Xie was stunned, and then subconsciously raised her head to cover her head and face, "Is there ash on the face of this palace?" How good is that? ”
Her heart was all attracted, and she hurriedly wanted to wipe it but didn't dare to wipe it, and finally could only say: "Your Majesty is atoning for your sins, the concubine is rude, Beichen hurry up, hurry up and go back to the palace with me." ”
didn't say much to Jiang Mengyun, and hurriedly pulled out his legs and left with people.
Because of her face, when she walked to the front of the courtyard gate, she almost tripped over the threshold and fell, and the palace maid on the side exclaimed, fortunately, Mo Beichen quickly pulled her back.
Emperor Liang walked behind and looked at the fun, and couldn't help but smile.
In this deep palace, there are too few people who can maintain such a pure heart, Xie Guifei is such a person, her joy, anger, love and hate are all on her face, and she never knows how to hide her thoughts, although sometimes she is a little impatient, but she is still much stronger than those smiling tigers.
If you want to talk about the smiling tiger, Jiang Mengyun is probably the kind of smiling tiger.
But she is not a concubine, but a strategist, and it is right that a strategist is thoughtful.
The farce in the middle palace has come to an end, and now the residence of this strategist has become a problem.
is also because she is not a concubine, but a strategist.
The concubine can also assign a palace for her to live in, but the strategist will not be, but she is a woman, and it is even more unrealistic to let her out of the palace.
Emperor Liang had a headache about this, and Empress Xue also had a headache.
Originally, Jiang Mengyun lived well in the Middle Palace, although she defected to Daliang, but after all, she was her family's relatives, and she brought her family's home, and it became a matter of course to live in the Middle Palace, and it became a matter of course to assist her.
But who would have thought that Mo Xin'er would be so stingy that she would tear down the house for a painting!
It's just a matter of demolition, Queen Xue originally thought that since the hall on the left collapsed, it would not be a problem to simply move her to the hall on the right.
Who knew that the emperor did not agree, and when the houses over there fell down one after another, the wall of the middle palace was smashed into a large area.
What can the queen's residence do without walls?
Because of this, Emperor Liang simply asked the Internal Affairs Office to completely renovate the Middle Palace.
As soon as the decree was issued, a large number of craftsmen were sent to transport away all the useless timber, and then to rebuild the main hall.
Not to mention Jiang Mengyun now, even the queen herself doesn't know where to move to live temporarily.
When night fell, when Empress Xue looked at the people coming and going in front of her and had a headache, in the Fengxian Palace, Concubine Xie was lying on her side with the stove on the soft collapse and closed her eyes to recuperate.
The weather in Daliang is very cold, and even if it is already spring, there is still no warmth.
There was a charcoal basin and incense burning in the house, but there were not too many lights.
The night was dark, and many people and things were hidden.
A little palace maid led an old mother out of the night, quietly entered the gate of the Phoenix Immortal Palace, and gently closed the door.
As if she had seen it, Concubine Xie suddenly opened her eyes and sat up: "Coming?" ”
The little palace maid did not speak, but only brought the old mother to the front and retreated herself.
The mother bowed down, and her voice was a little familiar: "Niangniang, the old slave lived up to your trust, and took advantage of Mo Xin'er and Jiang Mengyun to go to the queen to comment, and instigated Ming Dong to deliberately cut down the tenon of the house." ”
"If it's really you," Concubine Xie smiled, "The palace also said that Mo Xin'er is not so accurate in throwing things, besides, what can be so destructive by throwing?" Oh, it's also a shame that the surname Xue didn't doubt it. ”
The old mother bent over and did not look up: "The queen can't doubt it, you can rest assured." No way, who told Mo Xin'er not to do this kind of thing once or twice? ”
"What's more, now that all the timber has been transported away by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it's useless for her to be suspicious," the old mother said with a smile, "and thank you to the mother." ”
Concubine Xie adjusted her sitting posture slightly, chuckled, and waved her hand: "What is Xie Bengong?" It's also that the wall collapsed in time, otherwise the palace would have to talk nonsense with His Majesty for a while. Hey, God still helps Hongu. ”
The candlelight in the house was dim, covering the old mother's face: "Yes, I didn't expect that the house to collapse so badly, the whole row collapsed, and the wall behind it." ”
The old mother thought about it and laughed: "This girl in Ming Dong is really not serious, probably she hates Jiang Mengyun to death." The old slave only mentioned that, and she came up with such an idea herself. The third princess is too, like a cannon battle, speaking of which, it is not the credit of the old slave. ”
She raised her head, and the candlelight illuminated her face, it was the "quick-eyed" Mother Cui beside Queen Xue.
"It's a pity," Concubine Xie sighed, "I didn't really crush this Jiang Mengyun to death, and I almost hurt my Beichen." ”
Speaking of this, Concubine Xie gritted her teeth again: "Jiang Mengyun, this scourge, almost harmed Beichen not to mention, if you still let her stay by the side of that Xue slut, it will be a great disadvantage to us." It's just that she has a big life, and she didn't die! ”
"Isn't it?" Cui's mother also frowned.
"That Ming Dong is already a person who has nothing to miss, and she is sure that as soon as she hears that the house is going to collapse, she will definitely go back to the house to get her things. Niangniang didn't know, the peony also heard before, she is a very stingy person, this stingy person, she must not be willing to let her valuable objects be gone! ”
Cui's mother couldn't figure it out: "Who knew that at this critical juncture, she didn't want to take many things......" She was a little unsure, "I don't know if our second prince went in and persuaded her?" ”
Concubine Xie thought seriously for a while, and slapped the table angrily: "Beichen is really!" ”
