Chapter 7: Concubine Hui
Xiao Tianqing couldn't imagine that Cheng Lingling would be able to get the praise of the imperial grandmother when he was also reliable, and he felt a little incredible.
He didn't hide his surprise, and said: "The imperial grandmother must have been deceived by her appearance, she is the best at pretending, don't look at her family as a family of poetry and books, in fact, she is an outlier." ”
"How weird?" The Queen Mother was curious.
Cheng Tianqing was a famous champion at the beginning, and her daughter was an outlier?
"I don't know where she heard a way to make Epiphany bloom during the day, and raised her father to make Epiphany half dead, and then came to harm me. Didn't you ask me how my epiphany was? I wasn't in the mood to tell you at the time that she had killed those words, and it took me a long time to feel less upset. ”
Every time Xiao Tianqing thought of his two pots of epiphany, which he couldn't bear to look at, a fire would always rise in his heart, wanting to burn Cheng Lingling.
"Huh?" The Queen Mother was surprised.
This Miss Cheng is an interesting person.
"Did she succeed?"
Xiao Tianqing was surprised at this time, the imperial grandmother seemed to be very interested in Cheng Lingling, what did she do?
"Imperial Grandmother, you should care about my poor epiphany. You said that my flowers were well raised, and she was killed. ”
"Yes, yes, then I'll punish her for you." The Queen Mother hurriedly said yes, and she looked like she was going to punish Cheng Lingling for Xiao Tianqing.
Xiao Tianqing waved his hand again and again, and said, "That's not necessary, I've already punished her, but sometimes I still think of my pots of epiphany." ”
"Don't you really need the help of the imperial grandmother?" The Queen Mother asked seriously.
"No, no, no. I see that the epiphany in the Imperial Grandmother's Warm Pavilion is growing well, so why don't you reward me with two pots. Xiao Tianqing replied.
The Queen Mother laughed when she heard this, patted him on the head and said, "You leather monkey!" After talking for a long time, you want to get something from the mourning family! ”
"Give me two pots." Xiao Tianqing begged her with a smile.
The Queen Mother thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll be the master, you let people pick two pots." ”
"Great!" Xiao Tianqing replied happily.
He found that every time he took the initiative to ask the imperial grandmother for something, the old man was very happy, probably feeling that he was being needed.
"However, you have to take good care of my epiphany after you move back."
Xiao Tianqing was a little surprised, when he was shunning things from his grandmother before, he hadn't seen her explain himself like this. He replied again and again: "I will definitely take good care of it, and I will report to you every time I enter the palace in the future." ”
"You kid." The Queen Mother haha straight music.
The grandfather and grandson talked for a long time, and Xiao Tianqing saw that the Queen Mother seemed to be a little tired and was ready to go back.
"You haven't said hello to your mother after you entered the palace today, go and meet your mother." The Queen Mother took Xiao Tianqing's hand and carefully instructed him.
Xiao Tianqing knew that the Queen Mother wanted to be a middleman and a peacemaker for their mother and son.
The smile on his face froze: "No, no." ”
"It's not easy for your mother." The Queen Mother gently persuaded.
What could be hard? One of the most decent concubines in the harem, the gentle and generous Concubine Hui.
It's not easy for him.
Their mother and son have never been close.
When he was young, he also wanted to be coquettish in his mother's arms like his brothers and sisters, but he didn't dare, he knew that she didn't like him. He was even more afraid of making his mother unhappy and disgusting him, so he was careful never to approach.
He didn't understand why whenever the concubine looked at him, her eyes were entangled all the year round, and occasionally he could see the fear in her eyes, but he couldn't see the love.
At a very young age, he felt very sorry for the kittens and puppies that had lost their mother. So he was glad that he could still see his mother from time to time, so he was very satisfied, and just wanted to stay quietly where he could see her.
Unexpectedly, he had just turned eight years old and was sent to Sioux City, which was her idea. Since then, she has not been seen again, not even a word of greeting.
He didn't understand, his father had so many children, and he would send someone to greet him every once in a while. His mother only had one child, but she never ignored him.
He couldn't figure it out, he couldn't let go.
Therefore, when the Queen Mother offered to let her see his mother, he refused after thinking about it. He has always been close to the Queen Mother, and he has always been willing to do everything according to her wishes, and he can't force himself to do this.
Seeing that the Queen Mother still wanted to persuade him, he had to smile apologetically and leave.
When he needed her, she never showed up; Now that she wanted to see him, she let him pass.
When he is what it is!
Are there kittens and puppies that come and go? Even if it's a kitten or a puppy, it's good?
Looking at Xiao Tianqing's departing figure, the Queen Mother sighed and shouted softly to the inner room: "He's gone, you come out." ”
As soon as the Queen Mother's words fell, a middle-aged woman in palace clothes came out of the inner room, the middle-aged woman looked lonely, she was Xiao Tianqing's biological mother, Concubine Hui.
She walked to the door, looked in the direction of Xiao Tianqing when he left, and didn't speak for a long time.
The Queen Mother looked at the mother and son who were close at hand but like the end of the world, and she felt that she asked Concubine Hui softly: "Do you want to tell him what happened back then?" ”
"There's no hurry." Concubine Hui's gentle and firm voice sounded, and she patiently explained to the Queen Mother: "Yongle Hou and Cheng Tianqing have just arrived in Jindu, and they have not yet gained a firm foothold, and many established plans have not yet been implemented, so we will talk about it when the situation stabilizes." ”
"But with the two of you, the misunderstanding will get deeper and deeper. When he knows all this in the future, with this child's temperament, I am afraid how much he hates you now, and how much he will regret himself in the future. The Queen Mother was worried.
"That's only to blame him for his bad luck and a mother like me." Concubine Hui smiled miserably. After that, a low voice sounded again: "Just let him hate me, I can feel better." I made the decision in the first place, and I knew it would come at a cost. ”
"That's a big deal." The Queen Mother muttered.
For a mother, it is torture to not be able to love her child who is pregnant for ten months like a normal mother, but can only push him away.
"So, for my own sake, I also want Xiao Wu to die and take back what belongs to Xiao Yu!" Speaking of this, a trace of ruthlessness appeared on Concubine Hui's face, mixed with her soft facial features, looking at the indescribable disobedience.
Xiao Wu is the current emperor.
Xiao Yu is Concubine Hui's former lover and the only son of the current Queen Mother.
Thinking of her son who died early, the Queen Mother also put away the hesitation and entanglement in her heart, and her face was solemn: "Listen to you." ”
I have endured it for nineteen years, and I am not in a hurry to do this moment.
"When Qing'er was there just now, I was afraid that he would find out, so I didn't dare to get too close, and I vaguely heard him asking what Miss Yun?" At the mention of her son, Concubine Hui's face had a hint of warmth.
"Qing'er seems to be the young lady of the British Prince's Mansion in China and Italy." The Queen Mother remembered that before the birthday banquet, Xiao Tianqing asked her to pay more attention to Yun Hanzhi.
After the birthday banquet, Xiao Tianqing also came over to ask what he thought of Yun Hanzhi, looking at his expression, it was estimated that he was interested in Yun Hanzhi. His actions showed that he cared about his own opinions, which made the Queen Mother feel very pleased.
"The Royal Palace?" Concubine Hui thought for a moment, "Not bad." ”
If the British King's Mansion can be Xiao Tianqing's help, the odds will be much greater. It's just that it's not easy to get the British royal palace to agree to marry her daughter to someone in the royal family.
She needed to think about it.
