The next morning, Zhongcui Palace.
When Ding Shuqi had just finished washing, she heard the maid outside saying that Peony had arrived at the entrance of Zhongcui Palace. Ding Shuqi obviously did not expect that Peony would also come.
Looking at Shaoyao appearing at the door of the palace, Ding Shuqi smiled and said, "Shaoyao, why are you here? It's still so early, why don't you rest in the house for a while, the prince is still young, so he needs you and the third child to take more care of him. Woolen cloth."
Shaoyao nodded listening to Ding Shuqi, "What my mother said is right. The young prince really needs more care from me and the prince. My daughter-in-law came with the prince today just to tell my mother and concubine that the prince has forgiven me and he wants to Let me go and let my mother-in-law find her own happiness."
Listening to Shaoyao's words, Ding Shuqi looked surprised, "Did Lao San say this himself? Why didn't Lao San himself come and tell me about this? Did I hear it wrong, Shaoyao?"
Shaoyao looked at the expression on Ding Shuqi's face and said, "Concubine, you heard me right. It is indeed the prince who wants to help you and the Nine Kings. After the court yesterday, His Majesty found the prince and told him about the matter. He said that no matter what the prince decides, your majesty will agree to it, so I came here with your majesty this morning."
Ding Shuqi looked at the expression on Shaoyao's face and held Shaoyao's hand, "Good boy, it must be you who helped me say good things in front of the third child, right? The third child is my son. I understand him very well. If it weren't for you, , he will definitely not agree to this matter, Shaoyao, thank you for always treating me so well."
Shaoyao looked at the expression on Ding Shuqi's face and said helplessly, "That's because my mother-in-law treats me well! My mother-in-law treats me just like her own daughter. As a daughter-in-law, I must treat my mother-in-law well. That's what happens between people." We protect each other, don’t we?”
Ding Shuqi nodded seriously after listening to Shaoyao's words, "You are right. People do protect each other. If you can always remember my kindness, I will definitely be very happy. So, is the third child going to court? He will come over and tell me this matter in person. The relationship between the third child and me has been very tense since His Majesty ascended the throne. If the third child can tell me this matter in person, I will definitely be very happy."
Looking at the expression on Ding Shuqi's face, Shaoyao knew that Ding Shuqi must still care about her son very much. Even if Xuanyuan Yuzhe didn't come to see her mother-in-law today, she believed that her mother-in-law would definitely think of other ways to let him attack. Maybe this It's the so-called mother-son connection.
Just like her and her own son.
"Shaoyao, you should know that we will leave the capital after this matter is completed." Ding Shuqi looked at Shaoyao and said with a smile, "I really didn't expect to see the unification of the four countries in my lifetime. If the world is peaceful by then , we can really enjoy our old age in peace. I have agreed with my sister that when the time comes, we will live together and chat and live together. It will definitely be very pleasant. This world is already the world of you young people. ”
Shaoyao looked at the expression on Ding Shuqi's face and nodded with a smile, "What the mother-in-law said is that the prince has already told me about this matter. I really didn't expect that such a day would come to pass. If other people knew about this matter, they would definitely be very happy. Yes, all in all everything has been resolved perfectly.”
Ding Shuqi looked at Shaoyao and nodded, "Yes! The world is unified and the world is at peace. Although this is not the situation we want, it is the situation that the people of the world want. If it is really like that, the people will definitely be very happy. Just like the people living on the border, they no longer have any worries. They don’t have to worry about being laughed at if they like women from a foreign country. In this way! The people will support Your Majesty even more. I believe Emperor Xiaojing must be an outstanding person. His Majesty."
Shaoyao was surprised when she heard Ding Shuqi's words and said, "Does the concubine also know about Emperor Xiao Jing?"
Ding Shuqi looked at Shaoyao and shook her head, "Isn't Emperor Xiaojing the grandson of the imperial concubine who has been sent to Donghe as an envoy? That child knows at a glance that he is someone who wants to do big things. It is only a matter of time that the world is captured by him. The imperial concubine is a smart person, and I believe her niece Qilian Qingyan must also be a very smart daughter, so how could her son not be smart."
Shaoyao looked at the expression on Ding Shuqi's face and said with a smile, "You are right. Sooner or later, this world will definitely be captured by Emperor Xiaojing."
Just when Ding Shuqi wanted to continue speaking, she heard Xuanyuan Yuzhe's voice. When Ding Shuqi looked up, she saw her and him standing there in court uniform.
Ding Shuqi looked at Xuanyuan Yuzhe and said with a smile, "You're here, third brother. Come in quickly. Shaoyao and I are having a very happy chat."
Xuanyuan Yuzhe looked at the expression on Ding Shuqi's face, and finally discovered that Ding Shuqi's temples were also stained with white hair. When he thought of this, Xuanyuan Yuzhe's heart ached and he supported Ding Shuqi who came over, "Concubine, I'm old enough. , you don’t need to come to greet me in person, not to mention that now is the time for me to support my mother-in-law."
Ding Shuqi listened to Xuanyuan Yuzhe's words and said with a smile, "Lao San, if you can say such things, my mother-in-law is really happy. Are you really willing to forgive my mother-in-law?"
Xuanyuan Yuzhe said and helped Ding Shuqi to the side. Then he looked at Ding Shuqi and said with a smile, "In fact, I have never resented my mother and concubine. I was just wondering why tell me the truth about my mother and concubine. Even if you There is no relationship between you and your father, and you should not betray your father. I have been living in the shadows for so many years, which is why I linger in Hualou. But then I think about it, no matter what, you are still my mother-in-law. .”
Listening to Xuanyuan Yuzhe's words, Ding Shuqi opened her eyes wide, "You knew about him and me from the beginning? Then why didn't you come and ask me?"
Xuanyuan Yuzhe looked at Ding Shuqi and smiled and said, "How would you like me to ask you and Uncle Jiu Wang? In my heart, I have always been my father's son, but suddenly one day I heard such news, Do you think I can accept it? I definitely can’t accept it, so I gave up on myself, but I’m glad I met Shaoyao later.” He looked at Shaoyao beside him with a gentle look on his face, “After all, these are not mothers. Because of the concubine’s contribution, if I were also the son of my father, I might not be alive now. If I didn’t linger in Hualou, I might have died under Xuanyuan Yufan’s plan. Now think about it, all this is still It’s worth it, don’t you think?”
Listening to Xuanyuan Yuzhe's words, Ding Shuqi obviously didn't expect that he could say such words. Then she looked at Xuanyuan Yuzhe and nodded, "In fact, I wanted to support you to ascend the throne at that time, so maybe you can Will agree for us to be together, but I realize you don’t like that position.”
