Chapter 54: Filial Piety
On the fourth watch, the holy car returned to the palace. Concubine Mei and Emperor Tianwei said goodbye at the door.
Emperor Tianwei took Concubine Mei's hand and said softly: "Concubine Mei, you are temporarily living in the Guogong Mansion, and when Siyuan is settled, I will find a chance to take you back to the palace." ”
Concubine Mei leaned on Emperor Tianwei's shoulder and whispered softly: "It doesn't matter where I live, as long as the emperor can often come to see me, I will be content." ”
Emperor Tianwei stretched out his hand and gently patted Concubine Mei's face: "I'll come over when I have time." ”
Yu, Emperor Tianwei seems to look a lot younger. As the saying goes, people are in good spirits when they are happy, and having the life of Concubine Mei is the happiness of the world.
Princess Xin and Dugu Die were huddled in a carriage, looking at Concubine Mei like a little girl, Princess Xin sighed.
"No wonder there are rumors in the palace that Mei Niangniang is the person on the tip of my father's heart, and it is true. I have never seen my father so affectionate towards any palace concubine. Princess Xin whispered, and the loss in her tone could not be concealed.
Her biological mother, Wen Zhaoyi, entered the palace in the year when Concubine Mei left the palace and served the holy driver. was not favored by Emperor Tianwei, and later, she gave birth to Princess Xin, and her mother was crowned Zhaoyi by virtue of her daughter. Over the years, Wen Zhaoyi has nothing to do, and she has lived a cold and lonely life in the palace. If it weren't for Princess Xin, who relied on Emperor Tianwei's love for herself, and often invited her mother to pet, I am afraid that Wen Zhaoyi would not have been able to survive at all.
"Emperors are also human beings, and there are always times when there is affection. You little girl, at such a young age, you actually know that you have a strong affection, and you are really not ashamed, catch up with Ming'er, and let Emperor Tianwei give you a handsome attached horse and marry you off. Dugu Die said jokingly.
Princess Xin's face turned into a ball, and she laughed with Dugu Dieyi in the carriage.
Outside the carriage, Su Zimo's voice rang out.
"Father, it will be more serious, it will take a while to return to the palace, you can choose a bowl of porridge to warm your body."
Dugu Dieyi opened the curtain and looked out, Su Zimo was respectfully waiting by Emperor Tianwei's side, Concubine Mei looked at her son, and she didn't know where to start with a thousand words.
"Why don't you sleep a little longer so early in the morning? In the past few days, in order to hold a funeral for your uncle, you have been boiled out. "Emperor Tianwei spoke to Su Zimo very kindly because of Concubine Mei.
Su Zimo answered: "My father has to get up every day on the fifth watch day to go to court, for more than 30 years, my father doesn't feel hard, and my son naturally wants to take my father as a model." The son gets up a little early and cooks porridge for his father, where does the hard work come from? ”
Su Zimo's words are really good.
"The father said that the porridge boiled by his son is always a little hot, and after his son's grinding these days, it has been improved, and the father please try it." Su Zimo stretched out his hand and took a bowl of porridge from the tray held by his entourage, and above the porridge, a few half-red and half-white plum blossoms were sprinkled, like blooming and about to bloom. Against the backdrop of white porridge, it is indescribably good-looking.
When taking the porridge, Su Zimo was too flustered, and the tail finger of his left hand hung on the burr under the tray, and when he landed, the blood flowed down his little finger, and a drop of blood, impartial, just dripped in the porridge bowl.
Emperor Tianwei lost his mind, and there seemed to be a voice in his ears.
"Father, my son is careless...... This porridge ......" Su Zimo looked at the bowl of porridge stained with his blood, and he was anxious for a while.
Concubine Mei took Su Zimo's hand and looked at it with concern: "Zimo, why are you careless?" Does it hurt? ”
"Mother, I don't hurt, it's just that I want my father to drink a bowl of hot porridge, but now, it's self-defeating, and my son will go down and boil it again." Su Zimo took the porridge bowl and was about to turn around and leave.
But at this moment, Emperor Tianwei stretched out his hand and stopped Su Zimo.
"I know your filial piety, it's just that my father's holy drive is about to return to the palace, I can't wait, this bowl is just right if it's lukewarm, and my father will drink this bowl." Emperor Tianwei took the porridge bowl, and without the help of Father-in-law Cao, he drank the bowl of porridge in one go.
Su Zimo's eyes showed a smile of satisfaction.
"Father, is there a difference between this porridge and the porridge made by my mother?" Su Zimo asked carefully.
"Same good taste." Emperor Tianwei was in a good mood, he stretched out his hand and patted Su Zimo's shoulder lightly: "Concubine Mei, you really didn't disappoint me, you are in the Lonely Han Temple, and you can still teach me such a good filial son." ”
Emperor Tianwei's praise made Concubine Mei chuckle too.
Dugu Dieyi lowered the curtain and sat firmly in the car. A smile appeared on her face.
Princess Xin pursed her lips and sighed: "Sister Dugu, my fifth brother is hopeless." ”
"What's wrong?" Dugu Butterfly was puzzled.
"Other brothers please their father, either by using military merits, or by doing good errands, in short, they are all worried about their father, my fifth brother is good, he boils porridge and porridge when he sees the sky, and his father just praises him a few words, and he doesn't get any benefits at all." Princess Xin was born in the emperor's family, and she has been exposed to it since she was a child, and she has always paid little attention to family affection.
"Everyone has their own way of living, maybe it's you, the fifth brother, and his mind is not above the court at all. The most lacking thing in the emperor's house is warmth, and in my opinion, this filial piety is the rarest. Dugu Die whispered.
Princess Xin nodded: "You're right. ”
The saint drove up, the carriage went on the road leisurely, and the king of Qing led the forbidden army to escort him all the way. When the carriage walked to Su Zimo and Concubine Mei's side, Dugu Dieyi opened the curtain of the carriage, and Su Zimo intertwined her eyes, and her feelings of farewell were overflowing.
Concubine Mei glanced at Dugu Dieyi, and a chuckle tugged at the corner of her lips.
In the car, Princess Xin continued to chat with Dugu Dieyi. "Sister Dugu, why didn't you look at her more when you saw Brother Duanwang's side concubine yesterday?"
"She's a woman, and so am I. She's not a little longer than me, no less than me. What's in it for me to look at her more? Dugu Die's words were full of disdain for Kang Zhenlong.
"I can tell you don't like her." Princess Shin answered.
"Some people, the first time they see her, they don't like her. For example, the side concubine of King Duan. And some people, when they saw her for the first time, they liked her very much and thought she was very cute, such as Princess Xin......" Dugu Dieyi's words spoke to Princess Xin's heart.
Princess Xin laughed: "Sister Dugu, you are laughing at me again." Hmph, when you officially meet your father, choose a husband, and get married, I have to make a good fuss about you......"
Dugu Dieyi also smiled: "Okay, instead of waiting for you to make trouble for me, then I might as well strike first and bully you first." ”
Dugu Dieyi stretched out her hand to tickle Princess Xin's itch, and the two laughed, and through the carriage, the crisp laughter spread far away.
King Qing turned his face and glanced at the carriage where the two were sitting, his expression was complicated, and there was a faint sense of loss in his heart.
Jiangshan, beauty, if he wants to choose one of the two, how should he choose?
