Chapter 298: Uncle and Nephew (Second Watch)

After the night returned to the snow and left, the imperial study was quiet.

The emperor motioned for Su Rong to sit down, and pushed the pastries on the table in front of her with his own hands, "I heard that you like to eat dim sum?" ”

Su Rong nodded, thanked His Majesty, accepted the emperor's kindness, and pinched the pastry to eat.

The emperor looked at her, "You withdrew from Zhou Gu's marriage because the king of Southern Chu chose the night to return to the snow for you?" The night family stands in line with the king of Southern Chu? Support and assist you as the heir to the throne of Southern Chu? ”

Su Rong paused and shook his head calmly, "No, I withdrew from Zhou Gu's marriage first, and later I learned that Guixue was ordered by the King of Southern Chu to come to Daliang to pick me up." ”

"Why did you withdraw from Zhou Gu's marriage?" The emperor asked.

Su Rong naturally wouldn't tell the truth, a piece of pastry was in her stomach, she clapped her hands and said, "The personality is incompatible." Zhou Gu is not for me. ”

The emperor thought about Zhou Gu's temperament, whether it was his character and appearance, or his temperament, or his family identity, all of them were more suitable than Zhou Gu. "Returning to the snow at night is perfect for you." ”

Su Rong nodded.

The emperor sighed lightly, "When I saw you yesterday, I knew that your mother and Xie Yuan had raised you very well, she was a smart and clever little girl, she had her own opinions, she knew what she wanted, she was clear-minded, her mind was clear, and she had the ability. That's great. Otherwise, in a place like Nanchu that eats people, if you can't stand by yourself, even if you have the king of Nanchu and the Ye family, you won't be able to hold on. ”

Su Rongzi understood very well, nodded his head, and corrected: "The person who has always raised me is Uncle Xie, as well as my father, mother and eldest brother, my mother died when I was seven years old, and I don't have much memory of her left, so if you talk about it seriously, she just gave birth to me, not to raise me, and when I was a child, she basically didn't care much about me." ”

About her mother knows that she won't live long, so she looks at her quietly, but she is not born a quiet character, naughty and playful, and does not like to be restrained, so she does not restrain her, only keeps her for half a day every day, teaches the rules, teaches calligraphy and painting, and as soon as the half day passes, she runs away without a shadow, and she never blames anything.

The emperor paused for a long time before he said: "Tell me about your mother, what can you remember, just say to me, when I was a child, he grew up with me and Qingping as the eldest sister." I...... Shame on her. ”

Su Rong thought to himself, it is better to be ashamed than to enjoy the results with peace of mind, and it is better to have no conscience and not remember the kindness.

She simply picked up her memory, said a few things, and also talked about the appearance of her mother in her memory when she was a child, of course, among these things, it was inevitable to talk about her father, the eldest lady, her eldest brother, and the aunts and sisters in the family.

This is also what she did on purpose, after all, if she leaves Daliang, the Su family will not be able to go with her, and her father, eldest lady, eldest brother, aunt and sister still have to live well in the land of Daliang.

Although the crown prince will take care of it, but the person sitting on the throne now is the emperor after all, let him know that the Su family has always been very good to her, if he really misses her mother's sister-brother relationship, he will also take care of it, right?

The emperor has been listening quietly, as an emperor, the life of ordinary people sounded very distant and strange to him, and when Su Rong finished speaking, half an hour had passed, he nodded and said: "It seems that I got rid of Dawei and returned to Daliang and settled in Jiangning County, and my cousin lived a very stable and peaceful life in those years." ”

"Yes." Su Rong nodded, "My mother's place is the best in the whole house, my father didn't treat her badly, and the eldest lady is also a good person, not only didn't trouble my mother, but also asked her to ask for the best doctor, and she didn't know my mother's identity at that time." ”

The emperor nodded, "Your mother set you a family affair for the Protector Mansion when she was dying, and she hoped that you would marry into the Protector Mansion, the Protector Mansion is a gate, and the rules are not heavy. Your mother must have put a lot of effort into choosing the Protector's Mansion for you. ”

"Hmm." Su Rong didn't expect that in the emperor's heart, he had a very high evaluation of the Protector Mansion, which was contrary to what he had been doing to prevent and suppress the Protector Mansion.

The emperor said: "It's really good to return to the snow at night, but Zhou Gu may not be able to be your royal husband." ”

Su Rong was stunned.

The emperor looked at her, "Your mother took great pains to arrange for you on her deathbed, and she just had such a wish, why didn't she obey it?" You and Zhou Gu have a different temperament, you can run in, and Zhou Gu's conduct and appearance are on par with Ye Guixue, the only difference is that he is a descendant of the Great Liang Protector's Mansion, and he does not have an advantage over Nanchu. But the matter of family background, there are pros and cons, Ye Guixue was born in the Ye family, and the Ye family supports the king of Southern Chu, he is the prince's husband, and he does complement you, but you must know that since ancient times, the power of relatives is too great, it is not a good thing, this is a double-edged sword. Just like the Nangong family and the royal family in Southern Chu, if you take care of it, the disadvantages are obvious, his family background can't help you too much, but in the same way, if you sit in the position of the king of Southern Chu one day, you don't have to be too constrained by him. ”

Su Rong didn't expect the emperor to say such a thing to her, and she couldn't help but wonder why the emperor wanted to say this to her. She looked at the emperor, "What does uncle mean?" ”

The emperor sighed, "I heard that when you were in Jiangning County, you got along very well with Zhou Gu, and after Zhou Gu returned to Beijing, he didn't see the slightest reluctance. You withdrew from his marriage at the beginning, if it was because of other unavoidable hardships, there was no need to wronged yourself, I didn't know your life experience at that time, but now I know, I am on your side, I had no choice back then, I was ashamed of your mother, and now I am you, I don't want you to follow in her footsteps. If it weren't for Da Wei Xingbing, she and Xie Yuan would have been in love with each other at the beginning......"

Su Rong suddenly intercepted his words, "Uncle, you have mentioned it several times to be ashamed of my mother, why is this?" Isn't my mother willing to do it for the sake of Liang Sheji? ”

The emperor paused, his face changed, as if he remembered something, shook his head, and nodded, "Yes and no." ”

He won't say exactly what it is and how it isn't.

Su Rong understood that for the emperor, he would not say such an unknown and unspeakable thing, and she would not have to force him to admit it from him, and there was no need for this, after all, her mother was dead, and the things of the year had changed.

She was silent for a while, and said to the emperor seriously: "Uncle, there is one more thing that you don't know. My mother later fell in love with the King of Nanchu, my biological father, otherwise Uncle Xie and her, even if they were separated by me, would have been able to tie the knot. It's my mother who lives in her heart again, and then she doesn't want to. ”

The emperor obviously didn't expect this, and was stunned for a moment.

Su Rong laughed, "So, as far as you know, the excellent relationship between me and Zhou Gu in Jiangning County is just a rumor. At that time, he was the little son of the Guogong Mansion, and I was just the little concubine of the Jiangning Taishou Mansion, even if I was not satisfied with him, I didn't dare to make a fuss. ”

"At that time, my mother thought that she could hide my life experience for a lifetime, so she ordered Zhou Gu for me, and my mother had never seen Zhou Gu, I don't know if he was round or flat. It's just what she thinks is appropriate. She looked at the emperor and concluded, "So, I really have no other reason for withdrawing from Zhou Gu's marriage, but I just feel that it is not suitable." ”

Her expression was stained with a touch of arrogance, "I am the princess of Nanchu, my prince, and I am the one who wants to be on par with me in all aspects." Uncle said wrong, most kings are worried about the power of their relatives, but I don't worry, as long as the Ye family does not be a chaotic minister and thief, and does not seek my throne, I am willing to work with the Ye family and share the Southern Chu Sheji. ”

After she finished speaking, she added, "Only if Nan Chu is good, and the Great Liang is the Great Wei, can there be one more helper, right?" Uncle doesn't have to worry about Nanchu not facing Daliang, whether it is the king of Nanchu or me, because my mother, they don't share the sky with Dawei, so we are all facing Daliang. ”

The emperor's eyes showed a little emotion, and then slowly fell silent, after listening to Su Rong's words, he was silent for a moment, and nodded slowly, "Since you say so, I am mainly based on your wishes." ”

He also smiled, "It is worthy of being my cousin's daughter, I am very relieved to be assertive." ”

He waved his hand, "I've been talking for a long time, I'm afraid that the second son of the night will be in a hurry, but it's not good to let him wait too long, so let's stop here today!" You can put away the token with peace of mind, just let go with King Ryan to check, I believe in you as much as I believe in your mother. ”

Su Rong stood up, "Thank you uncle for your trust, then I will leave." ”
