Chapter 1256: Daughter
In the house, Chu Muhan slowly opened the portrait, and Yun Jinglan helped him hold the flower roll in front of the eldest princess, who trembled and stretched out her hand, the woman in the painting has the color of captivating the country and the city, and has similar facial features to Chu Muhan and her, how could she not remember this face.
It was a child she had been pregnant for ten months and had worked hard to raise her, and it was a child who was loved by the whole family.
She reached out and touched the face of the portrait man, how could she not recognize her child as a mother, even the position of the mole on her collarbone was exactly the same as she remembered.
"Jin'er ......"
This call was inserted into Chu Muhan's heart like a sharp steel knife, he blinked, almost crying, but the forbearance when facing Concubine Jin for so many years had already taught him to hide his emotions well.
The eldest princess of Liyang was also uneasy when facing this portrait, although she knew that Chu Muhan's mother was Jin'er, but she had always been reluctant to admit it, admitting that she had not had a good life for so many years, and she was unwilling to admit that this person was no longer in this world.
"Where is she?" Princess Taichang seems to have returned to her crazy appearance back then, and when Jin'er just disappeared, she looked around like a madman.
After so many years, she still can't understand that before leaving, she greeted her well, hugged her and said that she was reluctant to give up her child, and disappeared into the sea in a blink of an eye, some people say that she fell in love with a fisherman, so she ran away from home, and some people say that others were jealous of her beauty so they pushed her into the bottom of the sea, she didn't believe it, her child, so attached to this family, how could she be willing to leave her behind?
Chu Muhan put the portrait away, and he opened his mouth for a long time before he found his voice, "Mother, she has been dead for many years. ”
Yes, he said it just now, he had a lot of things he wanted to ask his mother, he didn't ask when he was alive, and he couldn't ask after he died, he said so, but she didn't want to believe it.
The eldest princess took two steps back and almost couldn't stand, but the eldest princess of Liyang hurriedly reached out to support her, "Auntie, don't worry, let's sit down and talk slowly." ”
Saying that, she motioned to Yun Jinglan to move the stool over, the latter nodded knowingly and moved the chair obediently, the eldest princess really couldn't stand still, so she also sat on the stool at this time, and the eldest princess of Liyang looked at it with some concern.
It had been a long time since she heard the news, so she calmed down a lot after hearing it again.
Chu Muhan just looked at Princess Taichang quietly, this person was his maternal grandmother, it was rumored that she was jealous and doting on that person, if she would be willing to return to Zhongzhou at that time, how could Emperor Chengqi dare to ignore her? How dare Concubine Sun frame her, but he never understood why Concubine Jin was so favored why he didn't want to return to them.
At least now he feels very happy to have such a grandmother.
He slowly knelt in front of the eldest princess, Yun Jinglan saw this and hurriedly knelt down beside him, the eldest princess of Liyang was anxious when she saw it, and was busy dragging the two of them up from the ground, but Chu Muhan refused to move, and the eldest princess took a long breath and fell on him.
Although she felt that this child was very familiar from the first time she saw it, but she had the impression that Jin'er was the little young and beautiful appearance, just like the portrait of a twenty-eight-year-old girl, but suddenly she had this eldest child, which was really unacceptable to her, she looked at Chu Muhan with a complicated mood, "Child, let me ask, who are you, you are not from Zhongzhou, but look at your conversation, words and deeds are by no means ordinary people." ”
Chu Muhan nodded, and Yun Jinglan reached out to hold his hand, encouraging him to continue.
"My surname is Chu, I am a member of the Tianyue Imperial Family, my father is His Majesty Emperor Chengqi of Tianyue, and my mother is called Concubine Jin."
Although I thought that he might be a member of the royal family, but I didn't expect it to be the prince, I didn't expect this child to finally marry into the royal family, when Jin'er was deeply loved by the first emperor, and also mentioned that she wanted to marry the prince, but she didn't agree, so others didn't mention it more, the eldest princess also asked her why she didn't want to, one is because these princes have grown up together since childhood, and they are like brothers to her, and the other is that she feels that this free and easy identity is very good now, and she doesn't want to be bound by the deep palace.
The eldest princess felt that it was really wise for her to have this idea, she had escaped from the palace with great difficulty, and she knew better than anyone what it would be like to stay in the harem.
But now Chu Muhan came to tell her that person still married into the emperor's family, "Why is she so confused...... "The eldest princess beat her chest and sighed.
Chu Muhan lowered his head and got up, "I heard my mother say when I was a child, she was originally living in seclusion in the mountains, her father led the troops out and was injured and strayed into her house, she saved her father's life, and her father was obsessed with repaying the favor, she was driven by her father to worship him and became a relative, but after a long time, she knew that the person she married had already had a wife in the family, but at that time she was already pregnant with me, and she had no choice but to listen to her father's entry into the palace, thinking that if she knew early in the morning that he was the emperor of Tianyue, she would not have married him. ”
The eldest princess didn't speak, but the eldest princess shook her head, "I know Jin'er too well, if it weren't for her deep affection, how could she be willing to return to the harem with him, she must have loved your father, but ...... After all, your father still failed her. ”
Chu Muhan smiled miserably, in fact, what he guessed was the same, but Concubine Jin was already hard enough, but he didn't want to see her suffer more, he would rather she didn't love that person, so it might be better for her.
"What a fool!" The eldest princess patted the handrail under her hand vigorously, and Yun Jinglan was startled, but now it is Chu Muhan's affair with the eldest princess, she is not good at speaking, no matter what the old lady says, she just listens.
"The eldest princess is right, the mother concubine is really confused, but before meeting the eldest princess, Mu Han heard His Majesty talk about you, and you have your deeds when you were young, and I think you should also be a person who values love and righteousness, so the mother concubine is probably inherited from your temperament." He looked at the princess Taichang a little weakly, trying to see if the emotions in her eyes were really angry.
