Chapter Seventy-Nine: Mu Chundu's Past with Chu Yin
"It's just...... Qin'er, Master thinks you should believe him. The boy had always said what he was, and if he had done it, he would never deny it. "Daoist Chong Yuan also grew up watching Mu Chundu, and he understands his temperament.
"Master, in fact, Qin'er is willing to believe him, but that person swears like this, there must be a result, right?"
"You are dishonest, if you really don't have the slightest doubt about him, how can your eyes be so red? Master is not as young as you, but there are some things that I know in my heart, you are a highly educated person in the modern era, and it is normal for you to not be able to accept three wives and four concubines here. Maybe the master will take it for you to test, you don't feel awkward anymore, and my apprentice's life can be more comfortable. ”
......
As he was talking, the girl next to the Queen Mother, Pear, came in.
"Queen Mother, the Queen Mother sent you to Xihua Palace."
"Well, I know," Ai Qing replied, turning his head to look at Daoist Chongyuan.
"Go ahead! The master left first. After saying that, the head of the Okimoto Dao was going to leave.
"Master, there is one more thing" Ai Qing stopped him, watched the girl walk out before speaking again: "I'm sorry for you to visit my modern parents for me." I've been dead for a year, and I don't know how they're doing. ”
Ai Qing's expression gradually became a little lost as she spoke, and she suddenly remembered Yang Xue and Xu Feifei, and sighed again and said, "It's a pity that I haven't asked about the family members of the other two souls before, otherwise I would have bothered the master to visit." ”
"Master, didn't you make that medicine? Give it a try! Daoist Chongyuan said vaguely and walked out.
"Medicine?" Ai Qing was stunned in her heart, could that medicine make Yang Xue and the others come out? Ai Qing hurriedly took out three medicine bottles from his sleeve. Ever since he went to save Mu Chun, Ai Qing had taken three kinds of medicine with him wherever he went, Ma Boiling Powder, Gold Sore Medicine, and the elixir that could bring the dead back to life. Thinking that the Queen Mother summoned her, she just took it out and looked at it, then hurriedly put it back in her sleeve and led Aqi and a few palace maids to Xihua Hall together.
The Emperor and the Queen Mother were playing chess, and the affairs in the court had Mu Chun's decision, they were really enjoying their old age, Ai Qing went in and saluted, and sat obediently waiting for them to finish a game of chess, looking at the scene in front of him, and unconsciously looked forward to Mu Chundu's decision and himself in the future.
The emperor's infatuation with the queen mother completely subverted her imagination of the royal marriage. Since ancient times, the more powerful people are, the more they want to sit on the beauty of the world, but the picture in front of them is rare even in modern times. For Go, although she only knows a little about the surface, she can see that the Emperor Taishang is obviously letting the Queen Mother, and after a game of chess, she only loses half of her game of chess impartially. provoked the queen mother's eyebrows and eyes, and she was clearly more than fifty years old, but she smiled like a little woman who had just started to fall in love.
After playing chess, after the emperor found an excuse to leave, the queen mother pulled Ai Qing to sit down beside her.
"Your father's chess! is better than Du'er, but he lost his mother's life. Sometimes I lose a son, sometimes I lose half a son, the queen mother is like a mirror in her heart, but ah! Sometimes a little muddled can get more pampering. If you are more serious in everything, then even if others want to love you and spoil you, they will be scared away by your unappreciation. As the Queen Mother spoke, she divided the black and white chess pieces one by one and put them back into the chess urn, her face was still so graceful and peaceful.
"Queen Mother, Qin'er understands what you mean, but she still can't help but mind in her heart." Ai Qing sighed and said while helping the Queen Mother pick up the chess pieces.
"The queen mother knows that it is already a very smart and generous move for you to go to dance yesterday, but if you want to be smarter, you must not be petty in front of Du'er. If you waste your hard-won peace and happiness because you are mindful of the past, it is not worth it. The queen mother called you today, just to tell you about the past between Du'er and Chu Yin, as for that child, most of them should be Du'er, but he doesn't even know about himself. ”
Ai Qing listened to the Queen Mother say this, which was to set the real hammer for this matter, but maybe she listened to the Queen Mother's words, so it was not as uncomfortable as she imagined, but she unnaturally stopped the movements in her hand and waited for the Queen Mother to continue.
At that time, Jie'er Fang was only sixteen years old, and his two elder brothers were trained by Taifu Chu, and if there was any problem on weekdays, he would go to Taifu's mansion to ask for advice, and Chu Yin met at that time. Unfortunately, both Ju'er and his second brother Qiling have affection for Chu Yin, but Chu Yin likes Ju'er. Speaking of which, Jie'er and Qiling used to be brothers, friends and brothers, but in order to get Chu Yin, they inevitably had some disputes. When Jie'er was young, you must have heard of every fifteen wolf moves, although Chu Yin was in the boudoir, he knew that there was a bad wolf, but he didn't know that the person was Jie'er, but this matter was told by Qi Ling. ”
"Is Chu Yin scared?"
"Afraid! How can you not be afraid!? From that day on, Chu Yin refused to see the decision, and it didn't take long for him to meet the kiss sixteen years ago. Your father's emperor only favored the queen mother, so there was only one daughter under his knees, which is a matter known to the five countries, so he could only choose the official woman to send the princess, Chu Yin was one of them, and the only daughter of the queen mother, Luo Ying, was also sent to Luo Cave. ”
The Queen Mother may have thought of her daughter, and was silent for a long time before she spoke again: "Speaking of which, this matter was also recommended by Mrs. Chu in the court, Mrs. Chu was loyal and willing to give her daughter this affection, and the queen mother and your father were deeply impressed, and the queen mother and your father were still thinking about the love between Du'er and Chu Yin, but for some reason, Chu Yin agreed. The night he heard the news, he got drunk and ran out of the palace, and he didn't come back until the hour......"
The Queen Mother's words fell word by word in Ai Qing's heart, and it was not strange that Mu Chun never remembered what happened after drinking, but when he heard that the result had already been made, he still couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart, but it was not entirely because of jealousy, and the heartache that Mu Chun was misunderstood and lost his beloved woman because he was carrying the domesticated wolf army alone. Many feelings are intertwined, but she doesn't know what kind of emotions to face him.
"Qin'er, the queen mother told you this to tell you that Ju'er has suffered too much misunderstanding and slander since she was a child, and even if there are big things, she gritted her teeth to carry it, and even said very little. Until that day at the palace banquet, the queen mother saw at a glance that Jue'er had affection for you. To say something selfish, the queen mother loves you because she hopes that you will be more decided. ”
"Queen Mother~~" Ai Qing flashed her eyes and threw herself into the arms of the Queen Mother, listening to these words, she only felt that her former self was really too willful, he knew how much pressure this man was carrying on his shoulders, but he always lived in his own world, forgetting that he also needed to feel distressed.
"Alright, let's go back! It's time for you to go down. The Queen Mother wiped her tears for Ai Qing, and said with a smile on her face: "Tomorrow, the queen mother and your father will leave the palace to travel the mountains and rivers, if you care so much about Chuyin's son, then hurry up and have another one with Du'er, and when I and your father and the emperor return, we will wait to tease the grandson." ”
Hearing this, Ai Qing burst into tears and laughed, raised her head from the arms of the Queen Mother, wiped a handful of tears with her sleeves, stood up and said, "Qin'er knows, then Qin'er will go back now." ”
As soon as he ran out of the door, he bumped into Mu Chundu, who was walking towards him.
"How do you know I'm here!" Ai Qing rubbed his sore nose with one hand, and asked with the other hand shaking Mu Chun's sleeve.
"Does it hurt?" Mu Chun decided to ask this, his face was still full of gloom.
"Pain~~"
Ai Qing squeezed out a few tears through Fang Cai's already crying red eyes, and said, "Take me back to relieve the pain." ”
Mu Chun saw her crying and thought that it must have really hurt, so he hurriedly responded: "Okay, I'll take you back." As he spoke, he picked her up horizontally, and after a short period of effort, she landed firmly at the door of Qinghua Palace.
"Go and pass on the Imperial Doctor." Mu Chun knew that she had medical skills, but she was still not at ease, and as soon as her feet landed, she ordered the girl standing at the door.
"Hey! Don't" Ai Qing hurriedly stopped: "There is medicine in the dormitory, just wipe it." ”
"Aren't you in pain? Let the Imperial Doctor take a look at me, so I can rest assured. Mu Chun decided to carry her into the dormitory before putting her down.
"You close the door first, so they don't let in."
"Huh?"
Seeing that Mu Chun was stunned, Ai Qing simply walked over and ordered the door to be closed, leaning behind the door and biting his lip to look at him.
