The imperial chariot stopped in front of Chunnuo Palace, but Chunjia did not move.
He stared at the palace door for a moment through the gap in the bead curtain, then raised his sleeves and rubbed his eyes fiercely.
When the people from Chunhuang Palace came to pay their respects, they saw an emperor with red eyes and a serious expression.
The palace servants did not dare to ask, nor did they dare to look more. They bowed according to the rules. Just when they were about to say something, Chunjia had already rolled his sleeves and walked out.
He and Empress Dowager Yuan were known to have a biological child rather than a biological child, so naturally they were very familiar with each other in Chunhuang Palace.
As he turned left and right all the way, a group of palace people almost lost track of him.
Soon they arrived at the Nuang Pavilion where Empress Dowager Yuan was there during that season. Chunjia stopped outside the door, brewing his emotions. Inside, the Empress Dowager said, "Your Majesty is here, why don't you come in." He pushed the door open and went in without saying a word. Tears fell first: "Queen Mother!!!"
Recalling what Tuo Yunfenghuang said just now, and what the concubine did when she was young, she complained to her elders, as soon as he entered the door and turned around the screen, he immediately knelt on the ground, quickly walked forward on his knees, and hugged the surprised and waiting concubine. He begged Empress Dowager Yuan, who came to help him, to cry loudly, "My child... My heart is so painful!!!"
Empress Dowager Yuan was stunned, and tears came to her eyes immediately. Chun Jia had just landed, and before she even opened her eyes, she held him on her knees and raised her. He had always been well-behaved, sensible, and hard-working. The Empress Dowager had never seen him cry since she could remember. . Even if he could have built up momentum for his son at that time and asked the teacher to be so strict in his education, a few carefully selected companions would complain incessantly and run back to the private room to cry to his biological parents, but Chunjia would endure it silently, even at the teacher's request. In addition to seeking, consciously practice more...
Such a son, not only the emperor, but also very close to the government, is acting like this now. How much injustice has he suffered? !
Empress Dowager Yuan immediately forgot that she had been discussing with Zhan Liu just now, begging for a better way for Chunjia to mislead Yuan Fu Niang. She hugged him and asked with tears in her eyes: "Then what happened? Who is so bold to make me so angry?! I told my mother that she risked her life to seek justice for me!"
"Mother, is it true that the child harmed the mother-in-law and her son, and even harmed the queen for the rest of her life?!" Chunjia choked up a few times and asked sadly, "Had I known that Mingyue would have returned to the Ji family, would it have been possible?" It’s hard to escape the poisonous legs, but at least the few of us have never had a gap and turned against each other!"
The Queen Mother was shocked when she heard this, and said in disbelief: "Mother-in-law...Mother-in-law told me?!"
She really didn't know whether she should cry or laugh at that time. She was thinking so hard about her niece. Was the niece herself afraid that she would be tortured to death if she couldn't do it? !
"The child knows that he has a bad background." Chunjia recalled what Dongyun Fenghuang had accidentally revealed before about how to complain to the elders and ask for advice, and continued to cry, "If the mother didn't take pity on her, how could she have the blessing of inheriting the king's title? Let alone Jian Zuo ascended the throne. But the Queen Mother knew that the child had never thought of asking to be the Lord of the East. When the child first tried hard, did he want to please the Queen Mother, or win the favor of the Queen Mother, so that she... so that the Queen Mother would not ask for it? The Queen was in trouble for her mother... Later... The child was young at the time, and he thought wholeheartedly that he wanted peace in the east of the world. If the world was prosperous and peaceful, the Queen would no longer be unhappy... "
"In those years, the child worked diligently and did not dare to relax at all. He was afraid that something would go wrong. It didn't matter what situation the child fell into. But if something happened to the child before he could repay his mother, he would end up in hell, and he would feel uneasy!"
"Ru Ming was lucky enough to gain some power. Not to mention the regent and the concubines, all of whom are of the same mind as our mother. How many unidentified heirs have been lost over the years?"
"It's so hard for me to raise this child until now. How much thought and energy did the mother spend on this? Isn't the child full of expectations? It turns out...it turns out...if the child is harmed by others, and the child is born with deficiencies, then the child is wrong. Mother naturally has pity. But... she... "
"My child went to Huzhu Palace just now and waited at the palace gate for a long time before being allowed in. That's fine. After all, Madam Melia has always had that temper, and my child is used to it!"
"But finally I saw Niang Niang outside. Before the child could be comforted, Niang Niang... she..."
Chunjia burst into tears, filled with grief, anger and pain. Not only was the infected Empress Dowager Yuan bursting into tears, she even wiped the corners of her eyes with Zhan Liu next to her. However, he was calm in his heart and took advantage of his sobs to recall: "Well Before, the true concubine accidentally revealed that she had framed her concubine and was exposed by her birth mother Jiang. To prevent Jiang from punishing her, she rushed to her grandmother to file a complaint. At first, she said that as a legitimate daughter, she was not as good as a concubine in every way, so that everyone laughed at her. Bu Mo must be disobedient, so she doesn't want to please her mother, so she can win her grandmother's pity..."
Of course it was a lie. Yun Fenghuang admitted it to him at that time. Could she come up with a reason to prove that she was not just looking for trouble to get in trouble with the concubine, but that she had been "unjustly accused"? As a child, she could have I want to prove that she is not disobedient, so even her grandmother is not fair, so it can be said that her granddaughter used the wrong method when she was young, and her starting point was correct.
And Yun Fenghuang's grandmother was not that kind of particularly fair. The old man originally valued his direct descendants over his concubines, and was very fond of his younger grandchildren, so whenever Yun Fenghuang cried, talked or acted coquettishly, she immediately stood with Yun Fenghuang clearly.
Even if Mr. Jiang arrived later and explained the whole situation to her mother-in-law, Mr. Xie's old lady would still say, "If he doesn't listen, he won't listen, he won't listen." Anyway, her obedient Feng Huang'er will be wronged!
Jiang's family is considered to have a deep and powerful family, and there is nothing they can do about it when faced with a mother-in-law who is determined to protect her baby and a naughty daughter who is hiding behind her mother-in-law and making faces.
The empress dowager Yuan Ming couldn't help it. She knew very well what kind of character Yuan Niang was, and she couldn't do such a thing to renounce herself from the world. And Chunjia, the child into whom she had poured countless efforts and expectations, knelt in front of her for the first time in her life. Her demeanor, identity, and even her appearance were not as good as those of a clean slate. She was crying like that... Can she be a dignified man or a dignified emperor? ah!
There was no need to wink as she killed a chicken next to her and wiped her neck with her. Empress Dowager Yuan was already defeated: "Don't be sad, Ji'er, and don't listen to Yuan's wretched maid's nonsense - the reason why their mother has a bright moon is all because of Yuan's own fault, and I, It has nothing to do with the Aijia or anyone else!"
She squatted down and wiped Chunjia's face with a handkerchief. She choked and said, "I forgot the first time she came to the palace. How did she do me wrong? She bullied me and forbid me to tell the Ai family... She has always been Isn’t he such a despicable person! Back then, we were orphans and widowed, and the Fuyang King’s lineage was passed down alone for several generations. We had no choice but to need the support of the Yuan family, so we can tolerate it!”
"Did the Ai family and I misunderstand the Yuan family in those years? It's obvious to all in the harem and the former dynasty!"
"But she really wants to repay kindness with revenge... Such a ruthless and unjust bastard! If the emperor tolerates the emperor, the Ai family will not tolerate the emperor!"
Empress Dowager Yuan took a deep breath and turned to call Zhan Liu, "I will personally go to Huzhu Palace and kill that wretched maid..."
After a brief pause, she remembered that Yuan Yu had just given birth and was in confinement at that time. She felt soft-hearted for a moment. She bit her lips, suppressed her distracting thoughts, and said in a deep voice, "There is no need to say anything else. I'll just go there with the poisonous wine."
"Mother, don't be like that." It turned out that Chunjia stopped crying at that time, but whispered, "Mother, after all, this is your biological niece, who almost became your daughter-in-law, and the one who grew up with you... It was just at that time Giving birth to Prince Dong, just...if word gets out and someone deliberately spreads rumors and causes trouble, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the queen's reputation."
He modified Yun Fenghuang's words to persuade him just now and made a generous suggestion, "Why don't we give her a promotion and then stay in Huzhu Palace and focus on taking care of Zhuo'er?"
"Binger?" "Empress Dowager Yuan was a little confused by his attitude, so she muttered and repeated, uncertainly, "Is Bing'er...?"
Chunjia smiled miserably, and her eyes seemed to be filled with tears again: "Gong Xiangzhuo, I will give the child a name before he goes out for the summer. I originally thought that this word would be useful regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl. …”
Those who thrive are the first grasses to appear on the landscape.
It also means strong.
Legend has it that Chunjia only took charge at the beginning of the year, which shows what kind of feelings and expectations the child has.
If he had been born and raised well enough, I don't know whether he would be the heir with the most different status in Chunjia's mind.
Queen Mother Yuan was stunned for a long time and sniffed: "... That's a very good name."
Scream…
I don’t know if Gong Xiangzhuo will live to the full moon banquet to announce his name
"When the child left Huzhu Palace just now, he felt very aggrieved and lost his temper." Chunjia thought for a while and then said, "So I went to Huanqing Palace and asked the real concubine to beat a person from the East Palace. I don't want to spread the news." If it is necessary to spread the word... Mother, in these years, Mother Melia has hurt our hearts more and more, which is partly because we indulged her too much. I don't want to talk about the past, so Zhuo'er's matter must never happen again. Twice!"
He lowered his eyes, with sadness lingering all over his body, "... In those years, the boy has been wronged a lot, but he is still alive. But the children of the boy... one by one... the boy really can't stand it anymore!"
Empress Dowager Yuan couldn't help but cried again: "It can't happen again, it must be wrong! It doesn't matter that wretched maid or others, but whoever plots to harm the emperor's heir, it doesn't matter whether it is his own fault or not. The emperor’s heirs and the Ai family will not spare them!”
… Chunjia stayed in Chunwu Palace until very late that day before going back to Taichu Palace.
The mother and son held each other's hands and cried several times, recounting many past events. After such in-depth talks by candlelight, the depression of those years and some grudges in recent months gradually disappeared, so that when Chunjia left, she was very reluctant to leave. Pulling Queen Mother Yuan's leg, she turned back three times with one step.
Empress Dowager Yuan cried too much. Even though the palace attendants put hot handkerchiefs on her face several times, her eyes were still swollen. She was amused when she saw this: "The emperor is so old, how can he not let go of his mother?" "
"Even if a child lives to be a hundred years old, won't he be considered a child in front of his mother?" Chunjia once again plagiarized Yun Fenghuang's coaxing grandmother's words "Even if a granddaughter lives to be a hundred years old, she won't be considered your sweetheart in front of her grandmother." Ah." At that time, Mrs. Xie's old lady was very happy when she heard it. She directly threw the previous sentence of irritating her granddaughter, "Such a grown-up person will always have trouble with my sister and cause trouble for my mother" behind her head, and she wished she could forget it. All the benefits should be given to her.
At this moment, Empress Dowager Yuan did not block the admiration outside and inside, her eyes were red again, and she sobbed: "The Ai family is like that, my child, I really want to come to the Ai family!"
But Chunjia stopped again and coaxed her with gentle words for a while. Then the mother and son said goodbye reluctantly. Watching the imperial chariot disappear in the east of the night, Zhanliu asked with a chuckle: "Mother, please tell me, Your Majesty, what happened tomorrow, did I do it intentionally for you to see?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Empress Dowager Yuan was stunned, and then said displeasedly, "The Ai family doesn't understand the child who was raised by one leg? The emperor is not that kind of person. He..."
Sighing, "No, it's true. I'm sad."
As he spoke, he muttered to himself, "It's not the Ai family's fault. I just think about the pity of my mother, and I don't think about the emperor's years... Alas. After all, it's not the Ai family's fault!"
Zhan Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and supported her: "Don't think so much, Bidong is really filial to you! As for Bidong, he is a man. He is getting older, and he is embarrassed to express many of his thoughts. Come out. That time Yue Xiuyuan was so angry that she came over to you to cry and complain, but it wasn't a good thing. Mother and son, what do you have to say, why don't you talk about it openly? Can't you, ma'am?"
Seeing Empress Dowager Yuan nodding in approval, she thought to herself, don't care whether the emperor is pretending to be real or not, as long as your master is not confused.
At this moment, Chunjia in the imperial carriage had an expressionless face even when the curtains were lowered.
He stared at the night in the gap between the bead curtains, recalling bit by bit all his expressions, wording, tone, and demeanor from the moment he entered Chunnuo Palace until he left... Are there any omissions
After carefully confirming that there were no flaws left, Chunjia breathed a sigh of relief.
At that time, the emperor's chariot also arrived at Taichu Palace.
