Chapter 199 Reunion
In the Bishui Pavilion, Liuli has been waiting at the door.
From the morning, Concubine Zhen came to ask several times, for fear of missing King Qi.
But it's no wonder that it has been three years since King Qi left. For a mother, there is nothing more painful than this. After all, King Qi is Concubine Zhen's only hope.
Leaning at the door, Liuli was counting the petals bored, and when she heard footsteps, she instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw Xiao Huangmen led a handsome young man towards the Clear Water Pavilion.
In the land of concubines and concubines in the harem, the only men who can freely communicate with each other are the saints of the year, and the others are the princes.
Looking at this young master at this time, Liu Li was suddenly pleasantly surprised. Although Xiao Ming's appearance had changed a lot three years ago, the general appearance remained the same. She immediately ran back in surprise and shouted: "Madame, madam , Your Highness is back, Your Highness is back."
Concubine Zhen, who was anxiously waiting in the Bishui Pavilion, was stunned when she heard the words, and then two lines of tears flowed down. She put down the female worker in her hand and walked out quickly with the help of the palace maid.
Xiao Ming also arrived at the door at this time. He still remembered that the palace maid just now was Liuli next to Concubine Zhen.
Before he could go in, a beautiful woman in a purple palace costume walked out of the palace at this time. Seeing Xiao Ming, the beautiful woman greeted him with tears in her eyes.
This is Xiao Ming's predecessor's mother, Concubine Zhen.
"Ming'er." When she got close, Concubine Zhen cried and hugged Xiao Ming, crying.
Seeing this, the other palace maids also wiped the corners of their eyes, as if moved by this scene.
Xiao Ming was even more embarrassed than seeing Xiao Wenxuan at this time, but the mother in front of him was his own name.
For Concubine Zhen, Xiao Ming is grateful. In any era, mothers are great. Concubine Zhen, like all mothers, shelters herself from the wind and rain in this dangerous place in Chang'an.
If it weren't for Concubine Zhen's help, her wine and perfume would not have been able to sell so well in Chang'an. Among them, the fashion trend spread in this palace played a big role.
According to the normal meeting, the predecessor Xiao Ming is afraid that he will cry and cry at this time, but Xiao Ming can't cry, after all, he is not that Xiao Ming.
Being hugged by Concubine Zhen, Xiao Ming didn't know where to put his hand for a while. After hesitating for a while, he patted Concubine Zhen's thin shoulder and said, "Concubine Mother, my son is back."
Concubine Zhen nodded in Xiao Ming's arms, then raised her head after a long while, looking at Xiao Ming constantly, as if she wanted to see Xiao Ming enough.
Wiping away her tears, Concubine Zhen grabbed Xiao Ming's hand, broke into a smile, and said to Liuli: "In three years, my Ming'er has grown taller and more handsome, so let's go and sit in the room. "
Concubine Zhen's gentleness like water warms Xiao Ming's heart, and this feeling of being cared for will always touch people.
Xiao Ming thought to himself that since he was already Xiao Ming, he should not remember his previous life in the future. After all, this is his new life.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ming suddenly let go. He accompanied Concubine Zhen into the Clear Water Pavilion, smiling along the way.
"Mother, this Clear Water Pavilion is exactly the same as it was three years ago, but it hasn't changed."
When the two arrived at the room, Concubine Zhen asked Xiao Ming to sit next to her, and then asked Liuli to make tea for Xiao Ming.
Since Xiao Ming entered the Bishui Pavilion, Concubine Zhen's eyes never left Xiao Ming's body, she said, "You have arranged a lot of things in this place for your mother, every time I see these, my mother also has a thought, so No one was allowed to move."
Xiao Ming nodded, he could see that Concubine Zhen really cared about him, and he said, "Mother, you have had a good time in the palace these three years, and there are no concubines bullying you, if so, tell me Me, I'll take care of him for you."
Xiao Ming's words warmed Concubine Zhen's heart, and her tears remained.
There are not many people in the palace compound who can be trusted. They guard against each other and criticize each other. Life is like walking on thin ice. Like every concubine, the only thing they have left is their own children.
"No one dares to bully me. After your victory in Cangzhou, the concubines in this palace have more respect for their mother." Concubine Zhen's eyes were red.
Xiao Ming took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped away her tears for Concubine Zhen, and said, "Mother, it's a pity that the child can't take you to Qingzhou, otherwise our mother and son don't have to be separated."
Concubine Zhen sighed, "Men's ambitions are in all directions, not to mention that you are the lord of the vassal. As long as you can do well, mother can rest assured. If you can be safe and sound, everything is worth it."
Xiao Ming's heart became more and more moved. It is also a kind of luck to have a mother like this.
With red eyes, Liuli persuaded at this time: "My lord, don't cry, it's a pleasure for His Highness to come back, but crying too much will hurt your body."
"Yes, yes, don't cry." Concubine Zhen wiped her tears and suddenly smiled: "Ming'er, it's a great event for you to come back this time. Your father is discussing in Fiji about the marriage of your youngest daughter, Fei Yue'er. your business."
Liu Li smiled and said, "Your Highness, this Fei Yue'er is a famous beauty in Chang'an City, and she is proficient in painting and calligraphy, and most importantly, she is a woman of the Fei family, and the dignitaries in Chang'an have stepped over the threshold one by one. Useless."
In his heart, Concubine Zhen had already told him about this, and he said, "It's just that few people in Chang'an City have seen Fei Yue'er, so how do you know whether he is ugly or beautiful?"
Concubine Zhen glared at Xiao Ming: "Why don't you change your temperament, the color of words is the first knife, how can this marriage matter only look at appearance, as long as it is the daughter of the Fei family, even if she is ugly, others will fight to marry, you However, you are still picky. For this time, your father does not know how much he has spoken with Fiji, and Fiji is still ambiguous. This time you came to Chang'an and went to see Fiji after receiving the reward. It's just a matter of waiting for you to make a trip and it will probably be done."
"Mother, this Fiji is too big. He doesn't listen to what the father says. Isn't it going to be the opposite." Xiao Ming slapped the table.
Concubine Zhen hit Xiao Ming lightly, "It's said that you have changed your temperament, how can I see that it is still the same as before, if your father and emperor decreed, Fiji will naturally be unable to resist the decree, but there must be etiquette between monarchs and ministers. No, if that's the case, let the Fei family serve your father and emperor with their original intentions, and you can't force your head without drinking water, this time you can't be as muddled as before in Chang'an, or your mother would rather die."
Speaking of this, Concubine Zhen began to cry again.
Xiao Ming was helpless and said, "Mother, I will listen to you. After tomorrow, I will visit the Fiji family. I just hope that Fiji will not deliberately make things difficult."
Concubine Zhen suddenly laughed, "It's almost the same, don't worry, this visit to Fiji's house is just a passing scene, and Fiji will definitely not make things difficult for you."
