Chapter 12: Mother and Son

Concubine An didn't think about anything anymore.

Do you know the loneliness of the deep palace?

Then why raise an imperial daughter... Which concubine in this palace doesn't want an imperial heir? !

Of course, if you can choose, you all want a prince, even if you like a princess, at least you want to be a prince...

But if it doesn't work, it's better to have an heir than nothing.

how?

You are sure that I can't survive you, so you don't need an heir to protect you from going to the palace to fend for yourself in the future? ? ?

Her heart was in a mess, and after a while, she said lightly: "I've been lonely for a long time, so it's inevitable that I'll be so quiet."

Chunjia stared at her for a moment, then waved her hands, and the left and right backed away silently.

Only then did the emperor say: "Is it you yourself who wants to be quiet and think about moving...or is it someone else who wants you to be quiet and think about moving?"

"..." Concubine An was silent for a while, feeling a little dazed.

how to say?

She never expected that the emperor would say this to her.

Yuan Niangniang almost wanted to laugh out loud, she couldn't help shaking her fingertips, and grabbed the teacup in front of her little by little, and only after touching the warmth could she sneer: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty wants me to Who are you talking about? Aunt? Brother? Or someone else... who? Just do as His Majesty orders!"

The Yuan family is gone... the family is gone! ! !

Even if they deserve it, even if they deserve such an end, they will bear it! ! !

You still say such things, what do you mean? !

Are you eager to kill them all? !

"I didn't mean that." Chunjia was very calm compared to the fact that she might be hysterical anytime and anywhere.

He didn't have any reason not to be calm, and said calmly, "If I want to pursue it, I don't need to go through you... Niang Niang, we haven't sat down to talk for many years, you must misunderstand me like this?"

If Yun Fenghuang was here, he probably would have thrown the blame back without even thinking about it.

After all, given the positions of Chunjia and Yuan Niangniang, what qualifications does the emperor have to blame each other for being irrational?

Blame the other party for doubting him?

However, Concubine An didn't have the means of a noble concubine, after hearing this, she was only disheartened for a while and lost all thoughts.

With a wry smile, he said: "Yeah... now... I don't even dare to recognize myself now. Looking back on those days when I was a teenager, it seems that I never got it... I was in the palace back then, during those eight years, you and I I've said it countless times, you've probably gotten tired of hearing it? It's no wonder you later fell in love with Yun Fenghuang... that lowly maid... When she entered the palace, I could hardly hold on anymore, I was so tired that I couldn't bear it anymore. Every day... how fresh she is... At that time, was she fourteen or fifteen? The fresh water is as good as the flowers that are just plucked from the branches in spring."

"You were tempted when you first saw her, right?"

"After all, in terms of appearance and talent, I was not considered outstanding in this palace, and I always make trouble with you for no reason..."

"Can you not get bored?"

"The reason why you tolerated me for nearly ten years is to show Mrs. Ji, to show my aunt?"

"Emperor...Mingjun...Gongxiang's blessings are not declining, and Ji's eyes are not long-term, so he chose you from many distant clans...You have risen from a vassal king to the emperor in one step, and spent eight years in hiding your strengths and biding your time to become an emperor. Mingjun."

"And I... When I came to you, I was a little girl who didn't know much about the world. She only knew how to satisfy herself by crying and messing around. Until I fell out of favor, I was still like this... After many years, I finally came to my senses. ..."

"If there is no Yun Fenghuang, there are other people. You actually... have been tired of me for a long time."

"Or, how can someone like you like me?"

"A pampered and self-willed person, who doesn't have the mind to coax you when everything is peaceful? And you, when you were young, were busy seeking the position of the son of the world, and later you wanted to be a good vassal king, and later you became the emperor... you You don't have time to pay attention to me, but you force yourself to pay attention to me for your plan, for your purpose, don't you?"

"...Half my life has passed, and we are all changed beyond recognition."

Concubine An wanted to hold back, but she couldn't hold back, she still burst into tears, she asked the emperor loudly, "You said we haven't sat down to talk properly for many years? When will we sit down and talk properly?! "

"In the past, when we sat down properly, it was nothing more than you coaxing me."

"You never listened to me carefully!!!"

"You never want to talk to me properly...you only talk to Yun Fenghuang, because she is the same as you, so you understand each other!!!"

Yuan Niangniang said with a wry smile, "You called me here today, just tell me what you plan to do. Now you are the emperor, and I... I am the concubine who has been neglected for a long time. What do you want to do? You still need to go around in circles?! "

"You're still as restless as before..." Chunjia sighed softly, the tone made Concubine An want to cry again.

It reminded Chunjia that seven years ago, every time she complained to him in private when she got angry with Yuanhou, he had helplessly persuaded her several times to calm her down and not be so easily irritated.

At that time, his tone and expression were the same as now.

Concubine An raised her head and said nothing, looking at him with tears and hatred in her eyes.

Chunjia didn't care about her hatred, she just said calmly: "I just want to know, what did the queen mother tell you and what do you plan to do?"

Concubine An sneered and was about to speak, but the emperor raised her hand slightly, signaling her to wait for him to continue, "Of course, it's okay for me to ask the queen mother directly. The queen mother will never have anything to hide from me on purpose. But I won't Have the heart... My mother raised me for a while. I sincerely treat her as my mother's mother. I don't want any grievances between me and my mother. So it's up to you. You don't have to think about how to explain to your mother. The noble concubine mentioned this matter to me, and she didn't intend to hide it from me."

Empress Dowager Yuan and Concubine Min are undoubtedly smart people.

They can see the situation clearly.

Right now, the harem is fine, you can do some tricks, after all, the emperor has not cared about the harem for a long time.

The previous dynasty was the emperor's private land, but if there is any trouble, Chunjia doesn't know what to do?

So none of them thought of hiding Chunjia's knowledge or forcing Chunjia to retaliate against Yuan Ke.

It is still the emotional card that is going.

Therefore, just like Yun Fenghuang deliberately mentioned Queen Mother Yuan in front of Chunjia, Queen Mother Yuan didn't care that Concubine An told the emperor all her plans.

Chunjia calmly and slowly broke apart these truths and told Concubine An.

Concubine An's face gradually turned pale, and after a while, she said: "How do I know? My aunt just said that she pityed me getting older and advised me to have a child by my side. At least I have something to think about. I said I have the sixth prince, how many?" I am concerned. She persuaded me to have an imperial daughter, saying that the imperial daughter can marry in the imperial capital, and in the future... she can visit me often. But I am not happy, after all, if I can live until then, will it be possible to see the queen or the queen? The face of the imperial concubine? I would rather die early, or, go to the feudal kingdom with the emperor's heir."

"But my aunt insisted. I thought she was getting old, so there was no need for her to worry about these things."

"I agreed to come down."

"As for the other things, you want to know, but you don't have the heart to talk too clearly with your aunt, so you can figure out a way for yourself."

Chunjia was a little disappointed when she heard the words, but after thinking about it, Concubine An was raised to be pure and impulsive, and the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, might not trust this niece.

When she regained her composure, she stopped embarrassing Yuan Niangniang, and kindly signaled that she could leave.

Concubine An suddenly turned her head before leaving and asked, "Will you give me that imperial daughter?"

"If you want, you can hug the baby after it is born." The emperor was thinking about it, and said casually, "Although he is the one who respects Jieyu, but the concubine has spoken, it must be fine to respect Jieyu. It’s just that this time, it’s better to feed with some snacks, otherwise, if something goes wrong and you start to attack the harem, I won’t always favor you.”

Are you always taking sides with me?

Concubine An sneered, turned her head and left without saying anything.

While walking, I thought angrily, if you favor me...why do I live like a joke like this? !

... After the news of the emperor's summoning of Concubine An spread to Lanzhou Yeyu Pavilion, Yun Fenghuang was startled for a moment, and then he was relieved: "Your Majesty is not worried about the kind mother Empress Dowager, and intends to question Concubine An personally, but Your Majesty may be disappointed this time, the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, is not stupid, how could she conspire with Concubine An? At most, she arranged for Concubine An to do something."

She said lightly, "Idiots also deserve to discuss important matters?"

Chen Jing said softly: "Your Majesty, what will happen next? Will you agree with Concubine An to raise the emperor's heir?"

"Of course I will agree. For His Majesty, today's heirs are not rare, and it is not a big deal to send one or two to Concubine An to practice and raise." Yun Fenghuang said lightly, "Especially Concubine An. Do not know at all."

Idiots also have the advantages of being idiots, that is, the emperor doesn't take it seriously, and many insignificant requests are accepted along with the trend.

If Concubine An was smart and had the means, Chunjia probably wouldn't be so easy to let go.

"Your Majesty's summoning Concubine An is actually just a test." The noble concubine said again, "This news cannot be concealed, and the outside world must know that the loving mother Empress Dowager must try to dispel His Majesty's suspicion... To put it bluntly, the mother and son are not as close as before. Wujian, who is afraid that the other party will make things difficult for him to deal with, and also afraid that speaking out will make the already cracked relationship even more broken, only those who worry about gains and losses, have to go around in circles like this."

She squeezed her forehead tiredly, "Forget it, let's not talk about it, after the birthday of the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, she will almost pack up and go back to the Imperial Capital. Sigh, I don't know when Brother 21 will come back?"

When the noble concubine was missing her brother and sister-in-law, the queen was looking at the tenth prince in front of her with complicated emotions: "Xiao Shi, do you...have a relationship with the noble concubine in private?"

The tenth prince was taken aback, but he didn't panic, and said: "When you return to your mother, I do occasionally receive news from your mother and concubine."

"Why didn't you tell me about such a big matter?!" The queen didn't expect him to admit it directly, and she was furious for a while, and she went up against the case, "Or do you think that your noble mother and concubine are the ones who really treat you well?!"

"What is the empress talking about? The son was neither born nor raised by the concubine, and the concubine has her own children. How can she treat the minister well?" The tenth prince frowned slightly. She has been very favored since the beginning, and it is the first time to be scolded by the queen like this, but she is not used to it.

After pondering for a while, he said, "Don't worry, empress, I don't have any other intentions. I just want to see what kind of medicine is sold in the concubine's gourd?" Worry. Now that Erchen is getting older, I want to try to handle things by myself, so as not to always work for my mother."

These words sound nice, if what the third prince said, the queen would almost believe it.

But what the tenth prince said, she felt chilling, she was really good to the tenth prince, but this child, who knew that he was not his own since he was a child, couldn't get close to her after all.

The mother and son were relatively silent for a while, and the queen suddenly felt very boring, so she waved her hand: "Forget it, since that's the case, you just have to be modest, don't tell your noble mother and concubine to design it."
