Chapter 56: Life is a mystery

Views:

After breakfast, they were not in a hurry to go back. There are too many facts that happened last night. I think it will not be peaceful during this period of time. It is good to sit quietly like this for a while, think about countermeasures, and cultivate your spirit so that you can deal with future things.

Jun Liche looked at the sky outside, and said, "The Ministry of Punishment should have gone to General Rong's mansion to check at this time."

"Yeah." Jun Liyuan nodded, besides the matter of the imperial concubine, he had another thing on his mind. Although Jun Lixuan asked him to ask the emperor about the birthmark before, but because he was busy, he didn't He didn't care about it, and only asked Jun Liche to help him investigate Mo Qingge's life experience.

"The weather is so fine. If it weren't for the many things in the palace, it would be suitable for going out for a walk. It would be nice to watch a play and listen to the piano." Jun Liche took up the tea and drank slowly, thinking about the leisurely days, and then It's really beautiful to have Xiaoying to accompany you.

Although the atmosphere in the palace was tense, the smile on the queen's face was always reduced when she was with several children. Hearing Jun Liche's words, the queen said: "Speaking of playing the piano, I think of the girl who was in Yuan'er's house yesterday." The luthier."

"The emperor likes his piano skills?" Jun Liyuan asked with a smile.

"Well, it's really good." The queen nodded, "Most of the musicians in the palace play magnificent tunes, but his minor tunes are more comfortable to listen to."

"I think so too." Jun Liyuan said with a smile: "In the future, if there is nothing to ask him to play a song for Di Qing, it will make Di Qing feel at ease, and it will also be good for the child."

"Yes." Ling Qiyang responded with a smile, he had already discussed this with Ling Qiyang, but he just talked to the queen today so that no one would gossip in the future.

"That's fine, Qiyang is the most important thing in everything now. As long as he is happy." The queen nodded, looking at Ling Qiyang's belly, her face was full of relief.

After being silent for a while, Jun Liyuan said, "Yesterday, I was a little surprised to see the way Father and Mother looked at Mo Qingge. I wonder if there is something wrong?" Although he didn't directly ask about the birthmark, Jun Liyuan felt that it might be so. can also get answers.

The queen smiled, she didn't seem to care, and she didn't have too much doubt, she just chatted and said: "That Mo Qingge looks a bit like your second brother's concubine, the noble concubine, so I can't help but be surprised to see it. But Mr. Jie has passed away for a long time, and my memory is a little blurred."

The queen who can make the memory blurred sees Mo Qingge and thinks of nobleman Jie. It can only be said that Mo Qingge and nobleman Jie are not ordinary, at least there are seven or eight points of similarity.

"If it wasn't for his surname Mo and the fact that his hometown is different from that of nobleman Ju, I would have thought he was from nobleman Ju's mother's family." The queen laughed.

"How is the nobleman's mother's family now? It seems that my son has never heard anything about nobleman's mother's family since he went to court." Jun Liyuan said.

"Hmm..." The queen nodded for a while and said, "Actually, since the death of the nobleman, I haven't paid much attention to the affairs of his mother's family. His mother's family name is Jiao, and his father is only a ninth-rank official, because his family background is not high. , so there hasn’t been much change in Jin Feng. There are many women in the palace, and she has always been low-key, so this palace rarely pays attention to her. It stands to reason that she gave birth to Chengjing, and she should be Jin Feng according to the rules, but at that time The imperial concubine stopped her and said that nobleman Ju's family background is not high. If he becomes a concubine, his mother's family might be arrogated by pampering, which will spoil the emperor's kindness. Why don't you give nobleman Ju's mother's family a chance to make meritorious service? It was justifiable to change the name when it was promoted again. At that time, the imperial concubine's father had just made military exploits, and the emperor was very happy, so he complied with her request. As a result, the affairs entrusted to the nobleman's mother's house by the emperor were not done well. I never mentioned it again."

Jun Liyuan frowned and listened. When Jun Chengjing was born, the imperial concubine was just a concubine, and her status was not as noble as it is now. At that time, the emperor would be able to comply with his request. It can be seen that this noble man not only has a low family background , and not to be favored by the emperor, even if she gave birth to a prince, she would not be as expensive as a mother. And his second elder brother was also granted a fief earlier, presumably it must have something to do with the low status of Mrs. Jie's mother's family, so he never thought of establishing a reserve.

"What happened later?" Jun Lixuan asked: "The empress didn't pay attention to the affairs of the nobleman's mother's house, there will always be concubines in the palace who are friendly with her? Did anyone else care?"

The queen shook her head, "Your Majesty Ju has always been a loner, and she rarely interacts with other concubines in the palace. Although I didn't pay attention to the affairs of her mother's family, I also heard some rumors about the previous court after the nobleman's death. It was said that her father was involved in corruption and bribery, and the defendant went to the emperor. The emperor was busy with government affairs at the time, so he handed it over to the officials below. Hearing that her father was beheaded, the other family members did not know."

Thinking about it, this family was really unlucky. Not only did they not get any benefits after giving birth to a prince, but their family was ruined.

"Second brother hasn't been in touch with Mr. Xuan's mother's family all these years?" Jun Lixuan asked again. After all, the second brother is now an adult, and has his own fief, and is doing well. If you have the heart, it is understandable to find the whereabouts of his mother and concubine's family.

"Probably not. Chengjing was still young when nobleman Jun passed away. Although nobleman Jun would miss nobleman at first, but with your third brother playing with him, a child's heart will not remember too many feelings for a long time, so he walked out quickly. The days when my mother and concubine are gone. I have always brought him by my side, and he has always regarded me as my mother and concubine. So even after growing up, although I occasionally asked about the past of the nobleman, but never asked about him The matter of his grandfather's family. In addition, no one knows what the people of his grandfather's family are now. There is a vast sea of people. If he doesn't know anything, he can find it out of thin air. It is really equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack, which is too difficult." Although the child raised by himself is not his own, he also understands his temperament. If Jun Chengjing really wanted to find him, even if he avoided everyone, he would still tell her about the queen mother.

That's all they said, and it's not easy for them to ask any more questions, so as not to reveal their trap. Although the queen never asked them what they were doing, it didn't mean she was not smart. If she asked too much about some things, it was inevitable that she would not be noticed.

After Gu Yao came back from Yanxi Emperor's Palace, he left with Jun Lixuan and Ling Qiyang.

On the carriage, Ling Qiyang leaned on Jun Lixuan, lowered his head, as if thinking.

"What are you thinking about?" Jun Lixuan clasped his fingers and asked with a smile.

Ling Qiyang looked at his master who didn't pay attention to him at all, raised his head and said to Jun Lixuan who was behind him: "I was wondering how likely it is that two people who have nothing to do with each other have similar looks."

Gu Yao turned to look at him, but didn't speak.

Before getting a definite answer, Jun Lixuan was not prepared to say more, but said: "It is not impossible for people to be similar. Besides, it is just their appearance, there is no other similarity."

Ling Qiyang continued to meditate, a thought flashed through his mind, but it was so fast that he couldn't catch it.

Gu Yao's voice sounded without warmth, and said, "You shouldn't think too much during pregnancy, you should keep your little head and think about other things."

Ling Qiyang smiled embarrassedly, but did not refute.

Gu Yao didn't go back to the palace with them, saying that he wanted to go back and add a few herbs to the herbal diet stewed last night and then stew it for a while, and send it to Daddy Ling at night. Knowing that Gu Yao was doing it for his father's good, the two of them didn't stop him, and sent Gu Yao back to the house first.

Back at the palace, Ling Qiyang said: "I'll go to see Daddy first."

"Well, let's go. I'll go to the study to deal with today's affairs, and go to have lunch with dad at noon." What happened last night suddenly, they all entered the palace and stayed overnight in the palace. In the mansion, Emperor Yanxi simply exempted several people from today's early court. But even if they don't have to go to the court, the need to do things will not decrease, and the emperor will pass on any orders from the court, and they still have to do what they should do.

"Okay." Ling Qiyang smiled and nodded. Accompanied by the servant, he went down to Father Ling's yard.

Daddy Ling is in a good mood today, sitting in the yard playing chess with himself, Luo Su is cleaning Daddy Leng Ling's study, and it seems that he won't be able to finish it for a while.

"Daddy." Ling Qiyang called someone.

Daddy Ling looked up at him, and said, "Come and sit." Daddy Ling's injuries have already healed, and all that remains is to strengthen and take care of them. Internal injuries must not be sloppy. Even if they heal, they still need to be taken care of .

"Isn't Daddy bored playing chess by himself?" Ling Qiyang picked up the teapot and poured tea for Daddy Ling.

"It's more interesting, if you use your brain more, you can understand some truths." Father Ling put down the chess pieces and asked Luo Su to bring Ling Qiyang a bowl of sour plum soup first.

Since Ling Qiyang entered the palace, he mostly played chess with Jun Lixuan. Although it was to pass the time, it was also very interesting.

"What happened last night?" Papa Ling knew that he and Jun Lixuan rushed to the palace at night and did not return all night, but he did not ask what happened.

Ling Qiyang lowered his voice, and told Father Ling what happened last night. He also said that before the two of them entered the palace, they brought their master into the palace together.

"What does daddy think?" Ling Qiyang asked after finishing talking.

"You can keep silent about this matter now. If only a few people know about the medicine, and it wasn't made by someone in the General's Mansion, then the General's Mansion will definitely push the responsibility away. Now the fifth prince has doubts. Therefore, if they want to save their lives, the best way is to blame the fifth prince. Judging by the current appearance of the fifth prince, the responsibility must be passed on to General Rong's mansion. By then, both sides will be just dogs biting dogs, and the imperial concubine will be caught in the middle. It's hard to do. No matter who shoulders this responsibility in the end, the fifth prince and General Rong's mansion will definitely fall out. In this way, the fifth prince will definitely win over other forces to support him, and the people in General Rong's mansion will feel that if the fifth prince is After the emperor, they are not going to live a good life. They might as well elect someone else, maybe they can have a way out, so they will naturally do their best to prevent other forces from being drawn over by the fifth prince. Let them make a fuss on their own, just watch it. "

Ling Qiyang smiled and nodded, "Daddy is still wise."

Daddy Ling shook his head and said: "If you don't get involved, you can see it clearly. Sometimes people will go wrong when they are in a hurry, even just one step is enough to catch his lifeline. So you, the prince, everything Don't rush, don't be afraid of being slow, the important thing is to think clearly, so as not to follow in the footsteps of others."

"Yes, son, remember." Ling Qiyang nodded seriously. The younger you are, the easier it is to be impulsive and make mistakes. When some things come, it is understandable to be anxious, but no matter how anxious you are, you have to think about it to avoid future troubles.

Remembering what his father said, Ling Qiyang drank the sour plum soup slowly. Suddenly thought of another thing and asked, "Daddy, do you know the identity of Master?"

Papa Ling was taken aback for a moment, his eyes on Ling Qiyang became darker. After a long time, he said, "What do you mean?"

Ling Qiyang's heart skipped a beat. Hearing what his father said, he seemed to know far more than him...
