"Well… "
The eldest princess was stunned for a moment. How should she answer this question
She actually hid the fact that Princess Yuyan was adopted and sent to Anshun County. I originally thought that I would tell my son when the matter was over, but I never thought that such an accident would happen.
"Mother, are you hiding something from me?"
As the saying goes, a child is better than a mother. The eldest princess was worried that her son would make trouble if he knew about it, so she kept it secret. But now, I'm afraid I can't hide it anymore.
"Huai Zhi, actually, there is something that Mom forgot to tell you!"
The eldest princess immediately told the Queen Mother about Princess Yuyan's adoption of the Zhao family as a daughter.
"Huai Zhi, mother did all this for you brothers and sisters."
"You may not understand it now. But in the future, you will understand my mother's hard work!"
After the eldest princess finished speaking, she looked at her son timidly.
This son's temper is actually not good, and he is often very stubborn. And once his temper rises, even a mother like her can't coax him away.
"Mother, what do you want to do?"
Xu Huaizhi was really shocked after hearing what Princess Zhan said.
"You said that all this is for us brothers and sisters, then have you asked your son if he is willing?"
"Then maybe Xu Huaiyi hates us so much. You just adopted my little sister like this. Do you think that with my little sister's temper, she will try to please that person?"
"What kind of sin is my little sister suffering from right now?"
"What do you want to do?"
Xu Huaizhi was a little angry. If the person in front of him was not his respected mother, he might have exploded.
"Get lucky!"
Looking at her furious son, the eldest princess took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "I'm here to win luck!"
"Get lucky?!"
Xu Huaizhi narrowed his eyes, "Jie Luck Path?"
"Mother, you-"
Jie Yun Dao is the enemy of the Tang Dynasty.
Ever since Emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty founded the country, he has been targeting the Path of Luck and Luck. During the hundred years of the Tang Dynasty, the Path of Luck and Luck was suppressed for hundreds of years.
But now, Xu Huaizhi actually heard the news about the Luck-Jie Dao from his mother, the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty. From the meaning of his mother's words, it was clear that he was cooperating with the people from the Luck-Jie Dao.
"Yes, it's what you think!"
The eldest princess took a deep breath and said, "If it weren't for this, your mother and I would have turned into a handful of loess, and you brothers and sisters would not have come into this world."
"What is the path of luck? What does it have to do with your mother and me?"
"I only want you brothers and sisters to have a smooth life, so what does it matter even if you bear endless sins and become unworthy descendants of the Li family?"
"Mom, you are already the eldest princess, why do you continue?"
Xu Huaizhi was stunned for a moment, and his intuition told him that things were not that simple!
"Yes, your mother and I became the eldest princess, but all of this was taken away from me. Including the lives of your brothers and sisters, they were all taken from me by God!"
"You don't need to know the reason!"
"You just need to know that your mother will protect you in this life!"
"Even though your little sister will suffer some hardships now, it is all temporary. When the rain passes and the sky clears up, you will naturally have a prosperous life, a long life and peace!"
"Mom, you and dad are also—"
"your dad?"
The eldest princess sneered, "Your father and I are just getting what we need."
"Do you think your father is really obsessed with the Zhao family?"
"If he was really infatuated, how could he leave Zhao's mother and son behind and go to the frontier?"
"Hmph, man!"
"What's going on here is not what you should know now!"
"In short, as long as you do what you, Prince Dingbei, should do, then, for other things, your mother and I will plan everything for you brothers and sisters!"
Speaking of this, the eldest princess's eyes seemed to have flames burning.
When Xu Huaizhi saw the eldest princess like this, he was inexplicably afraid.
Ever since he was a child, his mother has always been an extremely gentle woman in his eyes, treating others with kindness and sincerity. But it wasn't until today that he discovered that his mother was not what he saw.
At this moment, Xu Huaizhi was confused.
…
Royal Palace, Renshou Palace.
Emperor Yongping saw the Queen Mother sitting quietly in front of the statue of Sanqing.
"My son has met his mother!"
"Your Majesty came to see me for the sake of Yu Yan's adoption?"
"The queen mother is wise, and her sons admire her!"
Emperor Yongping smiled and said, "I don't understand. Please ask my mother to help me clarify my doubts!"
"Mrs. Zhao, when we were still in the boudoir, we were close friends."
"Oh? Why have I never heard my mother talk about it?"
"Do you often mention someone who is better than you?" The Queen Mother glanced at Emperor Yongping, "If the Zhao family hadn't been born in the Zhao family, and the Zhao family was a family of merchants, the Zhao family might be the most outstanding person in the capital today. Noble woman!"
"What a pity, the beauty is so jealous!"
"She comes from a merchant family, so she is destined not to be admitted to this palace."
"Your father has been grieving over this for a long time!"
"Well… "
Emperor Yongping didn't know how to answer the question. At this time, hearing these things, as his son, he was very embarrassed, okay
"Not many people know what happened back then. Now, it's okay not to mention it!"
"The reason why I adopted Yu Yan to the Zhao family is because I owe your mother my life!"
"In other words, we both owe her our lives!"
"Back then, she once told me that she wanted nothing in her life but the word "good". I asked her, what is the word "good"? She said, having children and daughters is the word "good"!"
"I asked her again, where are the men?"
"She said, man, it's just for decoration!"
"In this life, if you win the heart of one person, we will never be apart from each other till the end of your life."
"Unfortunately, men are so unlucky in the world. Therefore, women should not take men too seriously and treat them as decorations. They only need to relieve their boredom occasionally. Don't focus on men."
"I still remember her free and easy attitude!"
"Your mother and I can survive in the palace because of this freedom."
The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Yongping again and said, "As for other matters, they are in the past."
"Mother, um, why do you think Mrs. Zhao would be willing to have Yu Yan as her daughter?"
"I thought, the so-called good thing about Mrs. Zhao is that she has a son and a daughter of her own!"
Emperor Yongping looked at the Queen Mother cautiously, fearing that he would make her angry.
The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Do you think I don't understand?"
"It's just that she's gone!"
"What can I do?"
"Just think of it as a good word, which fully expresses our sisterhood back then. After all, I owe her a debt. I knew she left with injustice, but I couldn't do anything!"
"Queen mother...?!"
"I'm exhausted. Your Majesty, please go back!"
The Queen Mother slowly closed her eyelids, indicating that the conversation was over. (End of chapter)
