When I got up, I heard the dissatisfied voice coming: "Is the daughter of the Shaoqing family of Guanglu Temple so unruly? ”

knew that he was not acting well just now, but it was too late to explain at this time, so he could only bow his head and admit his mistake: "I'm sorry, I was distracted just now because I saw my mother's style for the first time." Ah Ping also came to help speak: "Don't blame the concubine, it's the first time she has seen you a little restrained." ”

When Ah Ping spoke, her expression softened, and she asked in a light tone, "What's your name?" ”

"Mother, why did you forget? She's ......"

"Bing'er, I asked her, let her answer, don't rush to say anything." Ah Ping's words were cut off by his mother before he finished speaking, and he successfully blocked Ah Ping's mouth, so he had to look at me helplessly.

At this point, I actually calmed down, and the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, and I just had to do what I had to do. So he replied calmly: "If you go back to your mother's concubine, my name is Ma Enhui." ”

"Oh? Grace is a special word, how did your parents come up with the idea of choosing this name for you? ”

I hesitated and replied, "It was because my father was rescued by a monk in his early years, and my mother happened to be pregnant with me at that time, so she named me Grace Hui when I was born." ”

"I see."

After that, Ah Ping's mother didn't talk to me much, but only asked Ah Ping how the injury on his forehead was, and asked why he angered his imperial grandfather. Ah Ping didn't tell the truth to his mother, only said other reasons, and his mother couldn't ask why, so she pulled him closer to take a closer look at the injury, and then complained with pity: "Look at this good thing, but there is a blood mark, why is Imperial Doctor Jiang's medical skills getting worse and worse." ”

"Mother, it has nothing to do with Old Man Jiang, this scar will naturally fade in a few days. I'm a man anyway, so it doesn't matter if I have a scar. As soon as Ah Ping finished speaking nonchalantly, he was reprimanded by his mother: "Nonsense! Parents who have been affected by the skin on your body, you can't get the slightest bruise on your body. Ah Qing, go and get my jade skin cream, and bring the box by the way. ”

Liu Qing answered yes and walked away quickly, I listened to the mother and son chatting without interjecting, and I didn't feel that there was anything cold or not. When we first met, if she was very enthusiastic about me, it made people feel uncomfortable.

Don't they all say that the daughter-in-law is in the eyes of her mother-in-law, that is, she robbed her son's enemy, so it's normal for her to dislike me. Not to mention...... Liu Qing had already reported in front of her in advance, it was obvious that it was intentional for Ah Ping, the mother concubine, to ask me my name and surname just now and let me tell the origin, I am Xu Lan, and even Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang knows about it, how can she not know.

Including when she asked Ah Ping later because she angered his imperial grandfather, in fact, she asked that question, and the reason must be in her heart. So in such a situation, it seems unlikely that this mother-in-law would like me.

I just hope that we can maintain harmony when Ah Ping is present, and I think she thinks the same as me, so there is this scene of mother and son filial piety in front of me.

It didn't take long for Liu Qing to come back, her steps were still very steady, and when she came to her, she presented the things: "Niangniang, the jade skin cream has been brought over, and the box you said." I saw that she was holding an emerald jade bottle and a black box in her hand, and Ah Ping's mother only saw the jade bottle, and ordered lightly: "Give that to her." ”

So Liu Qing took the black box and walked towards me, came to me and looked at me coldly, "This is given to you by the mother, don't thank you quickly." I took the black box and didn't have time to open it, so I first said to the other side: "Thank you for your love." ”

The other party didn't pay attention to me, just opened the jade bottle and smeared some ointment, rubbed the corners of Ah Ping's forehead little by little on his fingers.

Ah Ping witnessed my predicament and relieved the siege: "Mother, you have given grace gifts, why haven't I?" Mothers all over the world eat their sons, and with a smile on their faces, they knocked on his head and said, "You still dare to ask me for a gift?" I finally returned to Beijing but I didn't come to see me for a long time, and I haven't talked about you yet. ”

Ah Ping smiled, snatched the bottle in her hand and returned to me to pull me up, then shook the jade bottle in his hand and said, "This is a holy medicine commonly used by the concubine, so give it to your son as a gift." By the way, the emperor's grandfather also had an edict to let his sons and favors go over, and he might not be able to accompany his mother to dinner. ”

I saw that this kid was acting well, and I laughed secretly at the pretended regret and regret on his face, but his mother concubine ate this, and immediately said as soon as she heard this: "Since your imperial grandfather has an edict and is still rubbing here, I can come over to say goodbye at any time, hurry up and go to your imperial grandfather." ”

"Then the concubine, let's retire first."

He came out with Ah Ping, and when he walked to no one's place, he turned his head to look at me with a smile, "Daughter-in-law, you are really alert." I raised an eyebrow at him, what do you mean? He said: "The mother asked you the origin of your name, and I was still worried about you, but you casually came up with a story to fool the past, and it was also impossible for the mother to really ask." ”

I half-turned to the side and asked, "How are you sure I'm making it up?" ”

He was stunned, "Huh? Is it still true? ”

"Of course it's true, I've lived in Mafu for more than half a month, and Mrs. Ma has been thoughtful and has already informed me of the origin of her daughter's name." That Mrs. Ma still makes me admire, although she is a woman, her bearing and aura are very calm.

After hearing this, Ah Ping sneered: "So that's the case." ”

I glanced at him, and since I mentioned Mrs. Ma, I thought of something: "Anyway, you arrested someone's daughter, can you put it back now?" I only heard him reply: "Don't worry, you go from Ma's house with your front foot, and Miss Ma will enter the house with your back foot, but I also let people give a secret order, if they dare to make this matter public, they will bear the consequences." ”

"Yo, are you still ruthless?" I couldn't help but tease him, but I was secretly surprised in my heart, although Ah Ping was still young at this time, but since the crown ceremony, the domineering and strong side is slowly emerging. Maybe even he doesn't know it, and his behavior is no longer as immature and gentle as before, and he will use the power of power.

I remember telling him some truth, thinking that his grandfather was just a great general, and that if he wanted to hold the throne, he had to become stronger himself. I hope it wasn't because of my words that he changed that.

It's just that Ah Ping took his claws in front of me, and when he was teased by me, Jun immediately blushed, and explained shyly: "I didn't play ruthlessly, I just did some necessary measures, I'm afraid that if they make a statement outside, it will not only be bad for you, but also for themselves." After all, now that you're in their name, I'll have to think about it for you. ”

I didn't continue to scold him, not so much that he had changed, but that he was growing up, and that he had changed from a young boy to a responsible man. I don't remember who said it, but a man who loves his wife must not be a bad man.

"Okay, tease you, why do you have to be so serious. Oh yes, this is a gift from your mother, do you want to take a look? I deliberately changed the subject and shook the black box in my hand twice.

As soon as his gaze fell, he laughed, "Of course, let me see what good gifts the mother has given you." ”

I just stuffed the box to him, "You can open it." ”

When he opened it, I took a look, and was a little surprised, and thought that this black wooden box contained bracelets and jewelry, but I didn't think it was actually a sachet bag, the embroidery is really good, the blue background brocade, and the top is embroidered with auspicious clouds and flowers and birds.

raised his eyes and was about to ask Ah Ping what his mother meant by giving the sachet, but when he saw that his expression was grim and his eyes were clearly extinguished, he seemed to be not very satisfied. I can't help but feel funny, the gift his mother gave me, even if it was light, I didn't care what he was doing with his ugly face?

I saw him cover the box, "The color of this sachet is not worthy of you, so give it to me." ”

I don't have the habit of carrying sachets with me, and it would not be good if the gift given by his mother was not worn with me, but now it has solved this worry. I used to be a child of a poor family, and it was not appropriate to wear cloth clothes and hang a sachet around my waist. So he said that the color didn't deserve it, and he didn't feel anything, so he just took it.

I thought that it was a pretext to go to the emperor's grandfather, but I didn't think that I was really summoned, so Ah Ping sent me to the palace gate and went to the Fengxian Hall alone. Seeing him go away, he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had asked him to participate in the scientific examination before, which was a test for him, and now that he had proved that his intelligence was above others, he was going to teach him to deal with state affairs. It would be best if I could prevent Ah Ping from becoming the emperor, then there would be no martyrdom in the future, but I didn't dare to make this bet, and it would be a big deal to play again after losing on other chessboards, but once I lost the bet, it would be a cliff and I couldn't turn back.

When he turned around and approached the hall, he thought, is there a way to make Zhu Yuanzhang change his mind and directly make Zhu Di the emperor? Wouldn't there be no martyrdom in that case? And Zhu Di will also become the overlord of the Ming Dynasty, and the big history has not changed, so it should not affect future generations. In addition, the relationship between Zhu Di and Ah Ping must become harmonious, so that even if there is a coup d'état in the future, Zhu Di can show mercy to this nephew's subordinates.

But neither of these two thoughts swirling in my mind were easy to do. Regarding Zhu Yuanzhang's decision-making and concepts in the former, he has already set Ah Ping as the successor in training, and it is unlikely that he will change his concept and choose Zhu Di as the emperor; The latter, Zhu Di, was the king of Yan in Beiping, and he didn't know when he would be able to return to the dynasty once, and it was empty talk to let Ah Ping have a harmonious relationship with him.

What else can be thought of? When I returned to the temple, I meditated alone, but I couldn't figure it out.
