Chapter 381: Family Affection
"I always knew you were a sensible person. Wan Guifei took Bai Xiyun's hand and patted it, and praised sincerely: "You have to see the situation clearly than King De." ”
"After all, King De and I grew up in different environments, he has a very high status, and he is liked by the emperor, it is inevitable that he has a sense of superiority since he was a child, and there is a sense of superiority that is too strong to help others. When Bai Xiyun talked about the second prince in front of Concubine Wan, he was still quite thoughtful in his words. He didn't doubt Wan Guifei's affection for his mother and son, but after all, the second prince was raised by Wan Guifei's side, that is, he raised a cat and a dog, and he still had feelings after a long time, not to mention that he was a living person, and he also called his mother by his side all day long.
This is also a kind of helplessness and sadness, but Bai Xiyun is open-minded.
Wan Guifei didn't think much about Bai Xiyun's attitude when he mentioned that the second prince was a marquis, but carefully analyzed the content of his words, and then nodded with a sigh: "You're right, he sometimes has such a temperament, which is related to the environment in which he grew up, and also related to the temperament of his parents. I watched the Bai family's every move with a cold eye, and it is true that many times he acted very much like the Bai family. ”
"This is also understandable, blood and family affection is like this, he is like his parents, and I am like a mother. Bai Xiyun chuckled.
Wan Guifei was coaxed by his words, and the depression and happiness of many years disappeared from between her eyebrows, and she pulled Bai Xiyun with relief: "I have long imagined the scene of recognizing you, you are a year older in the fantasy, and your attitude towards me is also cold for a year, in recent years, I imagined that you will inevitably hate me and resent me after knowing the truth, but I didn't expect that the scene of our mother and son recognizing each other would be so warm." Ah Zhao, mother's good boy, I really can't bear to part with you. If I could not be a concubine, if I could not be dragged down by the family behind me, I could choose how to live my own life. ”
Bai Xiyun smiled and patted Wan Guifei's shoulder soothingly, but said as if comforting a little girl: "Why don't I think so?" But more importantly, we are all well, and we can always watch each other from afar in the future." ”
Concubine Wan let out a long breath and nodded, "What you said is true." Then I should be satisfied, and I can't expect too much. As if thinking of something, Concubine Wan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Ah Zhao, I think King De ...... Miao'er."
Later, I hesitated to say that I didn't know whether to exit or not.
Bai Xiyun was so smart, he immediately understood what Concubine Wan meant, and hurriedly said: "Mother, Miao'er is loyal to me, don't think about it." ”
"I know, I know. Concubine Wan hurriedly explained: "I naturally know that Miao'er is a good person, and she is willing to accompany you to live a hard life in such a crisis, and I have never thought of climbing another high branch, how can I doubt her loyalty? I think that he is close to you, often walks around you, and Miao'er is so beautiful, talented and outstanding, and has a pitiful background, it is not difficult to make people tempted. ”
"I know that King De has a heart for Miao'er. It's not just me, it's the newlywed Princess De, I'm afraid I've already seen something, you don't know, Princess De and Mrs. Guanglu have been upset many times. Bai Xiyun told Concubine Wan what they had done.
Wan Guifei sneered when she heard this: "They are so bold!"
"There is no way to do it, no one would want to let their son-in-law and husband pretend to be someone else's. It's just that they are too irrational to think about who did this wrong, who is the victim, and don't think about what the king of De is who is attracted to the married woman, but it is all to blame on Miao'er, she can suffer these reproaches without leaving the house all day long, I can't bear to look at it. Bai Xiyun frowned, and his lips pursed unhappily, obviously only caring about Qi Miao, but he did not blame Qi Miao for attracting King De.
Wan Guifei looked funny and said, "You." It's a seed of infatuation. ”
Bai Xiyun raised his eyebrows and said: "Where can I forget the kindness, not to mention that I know Miao'er's temperament too well, she is not a person who can do things." "Even if Qi Miao in this life is not very different from the previous life, the kindness of the heart is the same.
Just now they also said that children are like parents, in fact, Bai Xiyun's temperament is also very similar to her and the emperor. At least the emperor is a person who cherishes the old and attaches great importance to feelings.
Bai Xiyun is like this, isn't he just following the emperor?
"Don't worry, Miao'er has you at home, and I have come to the palace, Princess De and Guanglubo's family can't make any waves, and King De is a person who cherishes feathers, he has the throne in mind, and naturally his reputation will not be damaged, not to mention that you have been in love for many years after all, and he will not treat you husband and wife like this." It's just that Miao'er is young, and it's the first time she is pregnant, you have to prepare for childbirth in advance, if I remember correctly, she is almost seven months old now. It's just right to get ready now, experienced mothers, and nurses...... That's it, I'll help you Zhang Luo, where does your man's family know this. ”
When Wan Guifei said this, she smiled: "You just have to choose a name." ”
Bai Xiyun listened to Concubine Wan's chatter, and her heart was full of emotion. Is this what it's like to be with your birth mother?
It's a pity that the reunion is always short-lived.
I cried and cried, and what should be said was also said. Even if Concubine Wan Guifei was reluctant, she didn't dare to delay, so she had to say: "I confessed to the emperor, saying that I wanted to go back to my parents' house for a night today to see my parents and sisters, and the emperor rarely agreed." If I stay here too long, I'm afraid I'll arouse suspicion. ”
Bai Xiyun nodded when he heard this, "Then go back quickly." Anyway, there will be many days for us to see each other in the future. ”
"But there was no opportunity to speak openly. "Over the years, she has been carefully surviving in the palace, for fear of revealing the slightest flaw, she is really tired of that kind of life.
But in front of his son, even if he is tired, he has to hold on.
What's more, there is still a long way to go, and they still have a chance.
Wan Guifei smiled and said, "You go back, be careful to be caught." I'm leaving. ”
"Good. Bai Xiyun got out of the carriage and carefully covered the curtain for Concubine Wan.
Wan Guifei had tears in her eyes again, and she held back to prevent the tears from slipping down, took a deep breath, and ordered to set off.
Bai Xiyun and Guan Junyan watched the carriage leave outside before going back.
The wedding banquet is still going on, and in the lively hall, the adults will not let go of the opportunity to speak when they meet. It was Bai Xiyun who walked away, and others only thought that he went to the clean room, or if he was too drunk to go out for a walk and sober up, no one would think much about it at all.
And the second prince was already half-drunk at this time, and he couldn't take care of Bai Xiyun at all.
Bai Xiyun did not leave until the banquet was over, and the second prince returned to the cave room.
Back at the Grange, Bai Xiyun originally thought about bathing outside, changing clothes, chewing tea, and going back to the upper room, so as not to wake up Qi Miao. Who knew before entering the main courtyard, but saw that the courtyard was brightly lit, and a human figure was reflected on the window sash, and Qi Miao obviously hadn't slept yet.
Bai Xiyun hurriedly walked up the steps and pushed the door in.
"Miao'er. Why didn't you rest earlier?"
Qi Miao was leaning on the soft pillow and was closing her eyes and pretending to sleep, when she heard this, she opened her eyes and said with a smile: "You're back." ”
"yes. ”
Qi Miao looked at Yulian on the side.
Yulian immediately understood, and said with a smile: "My lord, Madame has prepared medicinal porridge for you, knowing that you will definitely not be full when you go to the banquet, you will have to drink, this porridge can relieve hangover and warm the stomach, it is most suitable for you to use now, and the slave will bring it." ”
Bai Xiyun smiled and bowed, turned to hold Qi Miao's hand and said, "Are you going to the kitchen again?"
"I'm idle and have nothing to do. Qi Miao covered her mouth and yawned.
Bai Xiyun lovingly rubbed her long hair scattered behind her head, and said: "It's all said, if you're tired, you will rest first, you are good, not only do you refuse to sleep obediently, but also go to the small kitchen to prepare supper for me, what if you bump or burn it?"
"Look at what you said, I'm so stupid?" Qi Miao laughed at Bai Xiyun's foresight.
Yulian came in the door, carrying a black lacquered luodian food box, and put the porridge and water and a few delicate side dishes on the kang table.
Qi Miao smiled and said, "Eat it while it's hot." ”
There has never been a happier time in the world than now. When I came home at night, my pregnant wife refused to go to bed early, and a dim candle flickered and waited for her to come back, and she cooked for herself.
Bai Xiyun ate the medicinal porridge, as if his heart was warmed.
After supper, bathing and changing, Bai Xiyun helped Qi Miao to lie down. They were not accustomed to the maidservants who went to work at night in the house, so naturally it was convenient for the two of them to talk alone.
There were no people in the room, only a dim orange glow from a small lamp.
Qi Miao lay drowsy on the special soft mattress, but still forced herself to ask, "Is it going well today?"
"Smooth. Bai Xiyun thought of today's conversation with Wan Guifei, and was even more sleepy, and said excitedly: "Today, Guifei Niangniang and I are talking alone." I also recognized her. ”
Qi Miao suddenly woke up, the sleepy insect was gone, and said in surprise: "Really?!"
"Nature is true. Bai Xiyun told Qi Miao everything at that time. Even including the content of the conversation with Wan Guifei, in addition to Mrs. Guanglu and Zhao Qifang's treatment of Qi Miao, almost even what Wan Guifei said and tone of voice were told to her.
Qi Miao was moved to hear this, and took Bai Xiyun's hand and said, "You have finally come out." Over the years, it has not been easy for both of you mother and son. You can forgive her, don't care about the past, I really didn't misunderstand you. ”
Bai Xiyun looked at her moist eyes, leaned forward and dropped a pious and gentle kiss on her eyelashes, the bridge of her nose and cheeks, and sighed: "It's a shame to have you." ”
"How do you say that?" Qi Miao raised her eyebrows.
Bai Xiyun pinched her face and said with a smile: "If it weren't for you, where would I still have so much kindness and patience? ”
