Seeing Concubine Cui come back, the person sitting in the hall greeted him, he was dressed in an indigo python robe, and a pair of phoenix eyes faintly flowed with joyful brilliance, and he was five points similar to Concubine Cui when he looked closely.

This person is King Jing, the biological son of Concubine Cui.

"The son has seen his mother." King Jing was about to kneel down and bow down when he came to Concubine Cui, but was hurriedly helped up by Concubine Cui.

"Hurry up, hurry up, after so many years, the mother concubine finally sees you again!" Concubine Cui said, tears already welling up in her eyelashes.

The mother and son have not seen each other for three years since the death of the first emperor, so naturally they are in a complicated mood and can't be relieved for a while, so they support each other and say a lot of longing words.

Originally, King Jing was going to come to Shou'an Palace to ask for peace after returning to Beijing, but Xiao Xunguang was too sad because of "mourning" Xiao Yunjiao, and he had no intention of dealing with miscellaneous matters, so he dragged on for several days before he allowed King Jing to enter the palace.

Thinking of this, Concubine Cui became angry, "The Zhao family and their children really follow her temperament, and they are born to make me unhappy!" ”

King Jing served a cup of tea to Concubine Cui, and said softly: "Mother doesn't have to be angry, isn't my son coming to see you?" When I return to Beijing this time, I am ready to ask Your Majesty for you to go to the fiefdom with your son to retire for the rest of your life. ”

In the past, the Cui family was powerful, and it was not difficult to understand that His Majesty wanted to leave Concubine Cui in the palace, but now that the Cui family has fallen, he estimates that he should be able to bring Concubine Cui back for reunion.

King Jing thought that Concubine Cui would be happy because of this, but she didn't expect her to say quickly after listening: "No." ”

Realizing that her tone was too serious, Concubine Cui softened her voice and added: "If the mother concubine goes to the fiefdom with you, it will inevitably attract the jealousy of His Majesty, for the sake of your safety, it is better for the mother to stay in the capital." ”

King Jing was puzzled and said: "Mother, Your Majesty and I are siblings in the end, so we won't kill each other!" ”

Concubine Cui still wanted to say something, and listened to the king: "There is another happy event to tell the concubine, the princess was pregnant a few days ago. ”

"Really? When, that's a great thing! Concubine Cui was overjoyed, and directly stood up and ordered: "Come on, take the ginseng bird's nest in the treasury of the palace, and send someone to Jingwang's Mansion!" ”

King Jing stopped Concubine Cui, "Don't be busy, concubine, the princess is less than two months pregnant, so she didn't let her enter Beijing with her this time, and now she is still in the fiefdom." ”

"Yes, yes, it's supposed to be so......," Concubine Cui was overjoyed, "Then let someone send her to the fiefdom as soon as possible, so that she can make up for herself." ”

"It's a pity that Mama Cui...... She took care of you when I was pregnant, and I originally thought that after the princess was pregnant, I would let her go to your side to serve......" Concubine Cui thought of the late Grandma Cui, and without a moment of hesitation, she pushed everything on the Xiao Yunjiao sisters and brothers.

"It's all Xiao Yunjiao! If it weren't for her, Mama Cui wouldn't have died, and now she is also dead, what a retribution. ”

It seems that she has completely forgotten the appearance of her pushing Cui Mama out to take the blame.

King Jing didn't answer, he already knew what was going on, but Concubine Cui was his biological mother after all, and as a son of man, it was inconvenient to judge his mother's rights and wrongs, so he could only divert the topic.

"Mother, two days ago, I walked around the city and bought you some beautiful jewelry, I look at it is quite novel and ingenious, do you like it?"

As he spoke, the servant brought a box, opened it, and saw that it was full of hairpins.

Concubine Cui took it and looked at it and said with a smile: "The mother concubine is this age, and she is not those little girls, where do you need so much jewelry?" You, it's good to keep some more for the princess to take back as gifts. ”

That being said, I picked up a string of pearl-encrusted gemstone gourd necklaces in my hand and looked at it again and again.

King Jing saw that she liked it, and said with a smile: "The best one must be sent to the mother concubine." This necklace is a chain of 28 gold beads threaded with gold thread, each of which is inlaid with ten pearls, and the gourd hanging in the middle is even more delicate, which is polished with a rare lapis lazuli. I thought that the mother concubine respected the Taoist, this gourd can drive away disasters and ward off evil spirits, and it will definitely be able to enter the blue eyes of the mother concubine, and sure enough, the mother concubine likes it. ”

Concubine Cui praised, "It's just on the side, this lapis lazuli is like the sky, and there is no impurities on it, which is really rare." ”

King Jing followed this and said a few more words, "It's also a coincidence, the shop where my son bought this necklace is the owner of the book's cousin." She has been smart since she was a child, and now she is in charge of the Cui family, and she has a lot of ingenuity. Thinking about it, over time, the Cui family will definitely be able to get rich. ”

That knew that Concubine Cui was displeased when she heard this, "Cui Shuyao is also a white-eyed wolf who can't be fed!" If she comes looking for you, don't bother. ”

She can never forget the blow that Cui Shuyao brought her in the dormitory that day. This niece, who has been disguised for more than ten years, seems to have given her a slap in the face, which makes her heart ache all the time.

But although she was displeased, she also knew that the Cui family was now being managed very well by Cui Shuyao, so she didn't say anything more.

King Jing knew what was going on when he saw Concubine Cui's face, and he didn't ask much, but only helped Concubine Cui take the necklace and helped her to coax her in front of the rhombic glass, before he saw the smile on his mother's face again.

It wasn't until the palace gate was about to fall that King Jing left Shou'an Palace. Concubine Cui touched the polished lapis lazuli on her neck, thought for a moment, and said to the maid: "Go and report to Your Majesty, this palace is going out of the palace to watch outside the city and burn incense and pray for the princess." ”

The maid took the order to go to the Zichen Palace, Xiao Xunguang thought about it for a while and nodded in agreement, but only sent a team of forbidden troops to escort Concubine Cui, saying that it was to protect the concubine's safety.

After the maid left, he took the Kang Gong bus on his behalf, and soon a letter was delivered to Shen Yuzhou.

The next day, the forbidden army escorted Concubine Cui out of the palace gate and went all the way to Shouyiguan.

Half an hour later, the carriage that came out of the palace gate stopped in front of the gate.

In front of the gate, the incense is very vigorous, rising from the top of the bronze tripod, scattered in the wind that can be reached everywhere.

The people in the Taoist temple are accustomed to seeing the carriage honor guard in the palace, and soon a little Taoist priest will come to greet them.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the private room has been prepared, noble people, please move to the small road." The little Taoist priest in blue pinched a trick, and shook the dust in front to lead the way.

Concubine Cui followed behind, and the two forbidden soldiers behind her followed suit, until the door of the private room specially reserved for the royal family, Concubine Cui stopped.

"You stand guard at the door, and don't get in the way of the chanting of the palace."

The two forbidden soldiers should go down, one left and one right, guarding the door.

Concubine Cui was alone in the private room, this spacious room was blocked by a screen, and the portrait of the Sanqing Patriarch was hanging on the innermost wall, and was suddenly blown by the wind.

But this room has no windows, and there is a screen to block it, where does the wind come from?

Concubine Cui cautiously walked towards the portrait and slowly reached out and lifted the painting.

Behind the painting is a hidden door!

The wind blew through the crack in the door.

She made up her mind, raised her hand to straighten the hair on her sideburns, and pushed open the hidden door.

Behind the door is another secluded room.

It was a bedroom, and against the wall of the door was a shelf bed with plain curtains.

Opposite the bed was a flower table, with a mahogany hoop chair on each side, and a person was sitting on one of the hoop chairs at the moment.

A man.

The moment Concubine Cui saw this person, her demeanor softened, and her eyes were a little more shy.

The man opposite is no longer a teenager, but he has an elegant and steady temperament. His eyebrows are high, his eyes are gentle, he is full of approachable cordiality, and his body is full of glory and luxury.

"Lord Wang." Concubine Cui spoke, her voice soft and tactful, "Rou'er can see you." ”

Concubine Cui's maiden name is Cui Rou, and she hasn't called herself so much to someone for a long time.

The man in the circle chair had already gotten up when she spoke, and kindly took the hand of the concubine of the dynasty.

"Rou'er has lost a lot of weight, and you have suffered." He spoke, his tone full of distress, and hugged the person into his arms.

The corners of Cui Rou's mouth have never been lowered, and at this moment, two red clouds flew on her cheeks, and she shook her head, "If you can see the prince, Rou'er is not bitter." ”

The man stroked her hair with pity, and his voice was more gentle and long, as if he was holding a piece of fine honey, "Soon, soon you won't have to look at that little child's face anymore, and when we have a big deal, then you will be the rightful queen mother." ”

"I saw Li'er yesterday, and he said that the princess is pregnant, is the prince happy?" Cui Rou can't wait to share the joy with her lover.

The man put his arm on her shoulders and looked at her, "Really? In this way, I have a grandchild! ”

Cui Rou nodded, her eyes full of happiness, "Lord Wang, can you think of a name for our grandson?" ”

Xiao Peiying's always elegant and easy-going face was a little more eager, "I have to go back and read the ancient books carefully, I can't give my grandson's name at will...... Or maybe it's a granddaughter? Whether it's a grandchild or a granddaughter, I, Xiao Peiying, am also a grandfather...... Hahaha, who would say I wouldn't live to be twenty years old? ”

Neither of them noticed that the door of the secret room, which should have been closed, was open with a small gap at the moment, and there were two more people in the first room that Concubine Cui had entered.

Xiao Peiying, King Yu.

The elder brother of the first emperor and the imperial uncle of Xiao Yunjiao.

The Xiao Peiying, who was asserted that he would not live to be twenty years old, had no wife and no children in his life, was in love with the mountains and rivers, and asked for immortals, but he had a private meeting with the concubine of the former emperor in the secret room of the Taoist temple.

Moreover, in what they just said, there is a shocking secret that has lasted for nearly twenty years - King Jing is not the son of the first emperor!

In this way, the first emperor and queen obviously had deep feelings, but the reason why Cui Rou gave birth to the eldest prince finally surfaced. It turns out that the first emperor twenty years ago was not sorry for Empress Zhao at all!

Cui Rou, as the concubine of the former emperor, actually had an affair with the former emperor's brother Yuwang!

In the secret room, Cui Rou and Xiao Peiying are still imagining the beautiful situation of the family in a high position in the future.

Outside the secret room, Shen Yuzhou firmly covered Xiao Yunjiao's mouth, and quietly took people out of Shouyiguan.
