Chapter 298: Life Experience
A prince, if he fights in the courtier's mansion for a woman, I'm afraid it won't be a good talk to spread out.
And it is impossible for the Mu family to let him call the daughters of the Mu family to him to confirm the selection like picking melons and vegetables.
"Presumably, after that, Concubine Mu and your mother will not be the same as before."
Qin Zeng nodded: "After that, Mu Lingqing gradually distanced herself from my mother, and at the same time, she used various means to attract the attention of the six princes. My mother didn't know why at first, and she always wanted to ask Mu Lingqing why she was estranged from her, but Mu Lingqing was only getting older, and she couldn't prevaricate like before."
"I have a bad heart, but I don't show half of it. From this incident, it can be seen that Mu Guifei's city is very deep."
"Hmm."
Qin Zeng said "um", and said, "In this way, half a year passed, until the Mid-Autumn Festival and the moon was bright, it was a very coincidental that Mu Lingqing finally won the favor of the six princes and was able to accompany him, but he accidentally bumped into my mother at the lantern festival."
Li Qingyi supported her cheeks with her hands and said helplessly, "Things in the world are always unpredictable. Destined people will eventually meet, even if they are evil, they cannot be stopped."
Qin Zeng looked at Li Qingyi, his expression didn't know if it was because Mu Lingqing was happy because of his defeat, or because the six princes were finally happy to see his sweetheart, or the word "fate" in her mouth, in short, his smile made Li Qingyi feel that if one day she solved the people in the Wei Mansion, she would also show such an incomprehensible smile......
"The bright moon is at the head, the Guiying is swaying, the moment the six princes see the beauty, they must not be able to hide their joy."
"Yes, after the Sixth Prince saw my mother, he didn't dare to show it too much, so as to attract attention. But her identity was easily ascertained afterwards. And Mu Lingqing, in order to prevent the six princes from getting close to their mother from time to time and reconcile with her, stayed around all day long. Actually, my mother didn't have any thoughts about the Six Princes at the time. It was all because of Mu Lingqing's constant small actions in private that the relationship between the six princes and his mother was gradually promoted."
Li Qingyi said honestly: "If Mu Guifei directly showed her mother that she cared about the Six Princes at that time, presumably your mother would not have feelings for the Six Princes."
"That's right. But Mu Lingqing didn't want to speak, as if she said it, she was admitting that she had lost to the other party. Therefore, she has never won the attention of the six princes. From the Sixth Prince's concern for my mother, to my mother being moved by him, to the deep love between the two, Mu Lingqing lost because she was not honest."
Obviously, Xiao Lan and He didn't care about the Six Princes, and obviously Mu Lingqing was no worse than Xiao Lanhe, but things in the world are like this.
"Deliberately plant flowers and flowers, and wait for the willows to be shady."
Qin Zeng looked back at her and said, "The things I said before, the part between the emperor and my mother, was sorted out from my mother's words when I was young. There are others, especially about Mu Guifei's actions, which I have secretly investigated and learned for many years. There are still many uncertainties about what follows. For example, when my mother was about to become the sixth princess, how did an accident happen. Also, my grandfather's family was imprisoned for embezzling official money, and almost all of them were destroyed, and my father was later charged with rebellion......
Li Qingyi listened to his words and stood up suddenly!
My grandfather's family was demoted to prison for embezzling official silver, and my father was also charged with rebellion?
Qin Zeng's life experience and the answers that were about to come out made Li Qingyi's breathing almost stagnate.
When the Li family withdrew from the court, the related big case was the rebellion of the king of Zhenbei.
And the Xiao family, the in-laws of Zhenbei Wangfu, suffered a catastrophe because of the embezzlement of official silver.
Then Qin Zeng is actually the child of the king of Zhenbei and Xiao Lanhe, the daughter of the Xiao family!
"What about you...... Aren't you the eldest son of the king of Zhenbei? The princess of Zhenbei and Gongsun Yi ......"
"It's my stepmother and brother."
Li Qingyi's head was a little confused, it was obviously such a simple relationship, but it was a mess in her mind, making her not know how to speak.
Qin Zeng said: "My father was imprisoned for the crime of rebellion, and someone attacked me and wanted to kill me, but the nurse fled with me, and my grandmother married her because my father disobeyed her
My mother was so disgusted with me, and when she knew that I was missing, she only let people look for me for a while."
"In order to leave an heir for the Gongsun family, she sent the current Princess Zhenbei to the prison, but my father first refused, and then learned that my life and death were unknown, and he didn't want the Gongsun family to have no queen, so he compromised. Originally, it was just a fluke, and there was not much hope, but who knew that she was pregnant only once, and soon after, my father was beheaded, and she was also written on the family tree, and became a stepfamily."
Li Qingyi was stunned, "So you always knew that Gongsun Yi was your younger brother?"
Qin Zeng shook his head, "After my father died, my grandmother took everyone back to the ancestral house, but Princess Zhenbei would go north to the capital every year during the New Year and return to the old mansion of the Zhenbei Royal Mansion to pay tribute to her deceased husband, but she came alone before and didn't bring Gongsun Yi, so it was the first time I saw him."
"Before you...... Haven't you ever been curious, go back to Zhenbei Wangfu to have a look?"
Qin Zeng frowned, as if he was frozen and couldn't stretch, as if a slight movement would touch the pain of losing his parents at a young age, "No."
Seeing him like this, Li Qingyi's heart seemed to be stabbed by something, she got up and walked up to him, pulled his sleeve, and shook it gently.
Qin Zeng looked up at her, as if he had been cured of his haze by her childish actions, so he pulled the corners of his mouth and continued to tell about his mother Xiao Lanhe.
He said, "My mother had an accident on the eve of entering the palace and disappeared, and everyone thought she was dead. Mu Lingqing often approached the six princes in the name of my mother's handkerchief, and perhaps, the six princes felt that the only thing he could get in this life, about his mother, was Mu Lingqing. So after taking the throne, I welcomed Mu Lingqing into the palace, and Mu Lingqing often mentioned my mother in front of the emperor, so she was a little more cherished than other concubines."
"And yet, your mother has returned?"
"That's right, when my mother came back, the Xiao family had already fallen, and she sent a message to the emperor through the palace people she was familiar with back then. When the emperor learned that his mother was still alive, he immediately summoned her to the palace and wanted to be canonized as the queen. However, she was already the daughter of a criminal minister, and was opposed by many people, the emperor had only just ascended the throne at that time, and often had to be restrained by the courtiers, and at that time, the Mu family already had some power in the court, and after several twists and turns, my mother finally married Gongsun Changfeng, the general of Zhenbei who was not yet crowned king at that time."
