King Yu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "Uncle?" Concubine Qi nodded: "Yes, Li Xiao and I once had a marriage contract, but it was just a verbal agreement between your grandfather and Mrs. Wen at that time, and the two families did not make a document, The ceremony was fixed. Later, Li Xiao realized that he had no intention of official career, so he chose to leave Kyoto to travel around the world. The two decided after deliberation.
After canceling the marriage contract, in order not to damage the relationship between the two families, your grandfather recognized Li Xiao as his adopted son, which means that he is my elder brother and your uncle. "These words were told many years ago with tears in their eyes, in order to prevent one day that their marriage contract would become a stalk for others to criticize her. For so many years, she kept the pictures of the previous separation always in the spotlight. Recalling in my heart, those pains are like maggots in the tarsus, day and night.
Tormenting her, she thought she would be numb from the pain when they meet again, but unexpectedly, she suddenly collapsed.
King Yu looked at the deep pain in Concubine Qi's eyes, and knew in his heart that things would never be like this, but for the sake of his mother's concubine's reputation, he could only follow the trend: "Jun Yu has seen uncle." Wen Lixiao Following the voice, he turned his head slightly: "Your Highness does not need to be polite, because I left the capital in a hurry, and I haven't come back for many years, and no one knows the relationship between me and my adoptive father. I didn't expect to meet in a hurry today. I didn't have time to prepare a gift, so please don't mind it, Your Highness.
"
"Uncle is too polite."
King Ling frowned sharply, staring at Wen Lixiao: "You have to think about some things and then talk about it!" This man had clearly promised him before, he would admit that he had an affair with Concubine Qi, and he would help him Qi Guifei was destroyed, but unexpectedly, she suddenly changed her mind!
Wen Lixiao turned his head and said, "His Royal Highness King Ling, thank you for bringing Caomin into the palace so that I can see my sister-in-law." "You..." King Ling turned to look at the emperor on the throne, and hurriedly saluted, "Father Royal It was this Wen Lixiao who took the initiative to find his son and said that he had an affair with Concubine Qi. Back then, Concubine Qi entered into a marriage contract with him, but Concubine Qi was vain and concealed the marriage and entered the palace to become you
My concubine, she and Wen Lixiao had..." "Jun Ling, have you had enough trouble! "The emperor's face is gloomy, and his eyes are full of disappointment. He knows that King Ling has never been very smart, but he did not expect him to be so stupid. Today is the New Year's Banquet in the palace, disturbing this New Year's banquet is good for him. ? And, today
There are also emissaries from Beijiang present, doesn't he know how to take care of the dignity of the royal family
King Ling's expression froze suddenly: "Father, son..."
"I already knew what happened before Concubine Qi entered the palace, and Duke Wei also told me, you should retire."
"Father..."
"Retreat!" The emperor snorted coldly, his eyes threatening.
King Ling gritted his teeth and retreated to one side unwillingly.
Concubine Qi's body was stiff, and she didn't dare to look up to see the emperor's expression: "Brother Li Xiao, since you have returned to Beijing, go home and take a look..."
"No need," Wen Lixiao shook his head, although he couldn't see, he still pointed in the direction of Concubine Qi, "I am terminally ill, and my life is not long, this time is mainly for justice. Sister last time."
Concubine Qi clenched her teeth tightly, and the smell of blood was strong in her mouth: "Brother Lixiao..." Wen Lixiao bent down and held the guqin on the table in his arms: "The wish has been fulfilled, and there is no need to regret it from now on." The face guqin was bought by the two of them together. I thought that they would be able to play together in the future, but I didn't expect that once she entered the palace as a concubine, this guqin became his only one for many years.
The consolation, accompanied him throughout most of the Dali Dynasty in the dark.
Concubine Qi slowly held back her tears and looked deeply at the man in front of her. He hadn't seen him for many years. He was no longer as handsome as he used to be. He was no longer tall and straight, with white hair on his head. The elegant and tolerant atmosphere of being alone has never changed: "Brother, go all the way."
"Okay." Wen Lixiao turned around, and immediately a palace maid came to lead the way.
King Ling's eyes were gloomy, and he looked at Wen Lixiao with a ruthless look, how dare this man lie to him! And the father, why does he trust Concubine Qi so much, doesn't he have the slightest doubt in his heart? Is it just him doing everything wrong
Seeing his appearance, Li Qingzhou hurriedly gestured with his eyes. The emperor was already very angry, and he must not provoke him at this time.
Mu Yunyao watched quietly, suddenly seeing Princess Yu motioning to her, she couldn't help but nodded slightly.
Princess Yu felt relieved, and supported Qi Guifei to the seat: "Mother, since uncle has returned to Kyoto, there is still a chance to meet again in the future, you... um..."
Princess Yu was talking, and suddenly clutched her chest and retched out.
Concubine Qi hurriedly looked over: "Fanghua, what's wrong with you?"
"Mother, I'm fine... um..."
Mu Yunyao stepped forward, stretched out her hand to hold Princess Yu's wrist, and after a short pause, a bright smile appeared on her face: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to His Royal Highness Prince Yu, Princess Yu is happy, according to the pulse, It should be almost two months."
King Yu was stunned, and suddenly burst into ecstasy: "I'm happy? I'm happy! I'm going to be a father!" From grief to ecstasy, King Yu didn't know how to put the expression on his face. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he must Her own princess picked it up and turned around a few times.
The emperor was originally unhappy, but when he heard the news, his expression gradually became more relaxed: he had already regarded King Yu as the next prince in his heart, and now that he has a son, it can be said that he has a successor, which is naturally a happy event: "Okay, Princess Yu has meritorious deeds, reward!"
As soon as the emperor's words came out, there were bursts of congratulations around him, and in the blink of an eye, the unpleasantness just now was turned over. Only King Ling had more hatred in his heart, and swept over King Yu and Princess Yu with a gloomy look, with a bone-chilling chill in his eyes.
The emperor's mood improved. Seeing the lovable smile on Mu Yunyao's face, his tone became a little more relaxed: "Yao'er, why didn't I see you sending me a gift?"
Mu Yunyao blinked, her smile bright and heart-warming: "Reporting to the emperor, I was fascinated by the congratulatory gifts sent by several princes, and I feel that my gifts are somewhat difficult to deliver."
"If you say this, it shows that you have not prepared carefully. I will definitely take a good look at it. If you are not satisfied, I will definitely punish you."
"Grandmother..." Mu Yunyao hurriedly looked at Princess Yide with a look of grievance.
Princess Yide felt distressed immediately: "Your Majesty, you are not allowed to punish us Yaoer. She put a lot of effort into preparing gifts for you. Even I was amazed when I saw it." "Oh? Yaoer, Hurry up and present the gift." The emperor was a little more curious in his heart, and he could make his royal sister say that he was amazed, showing that the gift was extraordinary.
