female concubine

Chapter 117 Keding Jue Family

When the King of Chu came out, his face was calm, and Xiao Youqing became suspicious because of the distortion of his calm, so he walked forward with the child in his arms, and said softly: "It's getting dark, I sent someone to Zhaohua Pavilion to inform you just now. mother."

King Chu nodded, "Okay, let's go."

In front of the stone steps of the main pavilion of Zhaohua Pavilion, reprimands from inside the pavilion were heard from a distance, and immediately several palace officials hurried out in disgrace.

Not long after, another servant came out, cupped his hands and said, "Six kings, six concubines, little dukes, and noble concubines call you in."

The child was held by the servant, and the king of Chu took Xiao Youqing's hand and clenched it, and walked in, "Don't worry, I'm here."

"Son, son rest, pay respects to mother, mother has a long life."

Concubine Li Gui, who was in a rage, calmed down a little after seeing her son come back, and raised her hand, "Sit down, Liu Lang has traveled all the way back, it's been a tiring journey, it's been hard work."

"My son is fine. The concubine took good care of me along the way, and it was my wife who worked hard."

Concubine Li Gui looked at King Chu and then looked at Xiao Youqing and the child who was not above her knees, raised her eyebrows and said: "I have something to say to the prince, you all go down, the bride should go to the side pavilion and wait first. "

"Yes."

After everyone had left, Concubine Li Gui immediately pulled down her previously kind face, "Come here."

"Mother." The King of Chu got up and walked to his mother's side.

Concubine Li Gui raised her eyebrows and asked, "What happened to that child?"

"He is my eldest son, and also your mother's grandson."

"Nonsense!" Concubine Li Gui scolded: "Other people don't know, but I don't know, did she do something unfeminine, and you are still here to protect her?"

"How is it possible, my wife is not this kind of person. It is useless to ask more about this child, so mother should not ask."

Concubine Li Gui looked at the King of Chu and suddenly felt a lot unfamiliar, and frowned, "Okay, it's true that the child will not be allowed to stay when he grows up. You treat her..."

The king of Chu took a step back, "She is the person I like. My mother can trust anyone, but she can't. My son's path is my own choice, but it is also made by my mother. At this point, if my mother wants to If you want to oppose and interfere," King Chu knelt down on both knees, "that can only be forgiven for being unfilial."

Concubine Li Gui looked at King Chu in shock. In the past 20 years, this child has never dared to speak to her like this, "You are really fascinated by her, and you are going to disobey even your biological mother?"

"The princess often misses her mother, thinks of her mother. For three years, can't my mother feel it? For three years, she has become the princess of her son and has nothing. Instead, she has to worry every night. From the beginning to the end, her son feels that she owes her and wronged her." She didn't even dare to bring her child to visit you because she was afraid that you would think too much about it, and my mother still doubted her here, I don't know what mother thinks."

"A woman's heart is the deepest. Mother is afraid that you will be fooled and deceived by her."

"If that's the case, then it's true," King Chu raised his head with red eyes, "I am willing!"

Concubine Li Gui let out a long sigh, "I believe you, but you are too courageous, do you know how many eyes are staring at the prince, the clan, the courtiers, and the people in Tokyo love to gossip, I am I'm afraid she will ruin your reputation."

"How can she ruin my son's reputation? I know that, isn't the mother afraid that my son's identity will be exposed and harm the whole family?"

Hearing her son's words, Concubine Li Gui's face changed greatly, "Shut up, don't say such things again." Concubine Li Gui got up and approached, and said earnestly: "Now everyone is spreading the word, you have been planning for many years for the position of the Eastern Palace. , now all the courtiers are facing you, fearing you, respecting you, whether you have a long-term relationship with her, or you are lost on a whim, mother knows that you have difficulties, so mother can understand you, but you really Do you want to go down this road of no return?"

"Mother doesn't understand the situation in the court. It's not something you just want to stay out of. My son was born in Wei's family. This fight is unavoidable no matter what. My son's sincere heart dates back to the day my brother died. It has been completely wiped out."

Concubine Li helped the King of Chu up, "Before entering the Qi Palace, you Weng Weng said that I am a man without vision and not suitable for the intrigues of the princes, so I have been living cautiously. After your majesty ascended the throne, the concubines in the six palaces changed Group after group, not only Shiro Goro died, but also those children who were not born safely. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Queen was kind and blessed, so I was able to give birth to your sister and you smoothly, but as you gradually When I grow up, I realize that your temperament is more and more like your father, and the more you resemble me, the more afraid you are. In this deep palace, it is a good thing not to be favored, because jealousy can blind people's eyes." Li Guifei touched Looking at King Chu's face, "Mother doesn't want you to be like him, do you understand?"

"My son will not become like him. My son wants this world to protect his wife, mother and elder sister. My son wants this world so that Kyushu will be peaceful."

Concubine Li Gui knows that no one can hold her back when she has made up her mind, "I didn't ask Doctor Sun, and I was too flustered to ask. Maybe as you said, she is a good girl. Since you have made a choice, I don't want to." It will stop you, but you have to be careful about how you handle your feelings, being affectionate is not necessarily a good thing for the emperor."

"I know."

"You have just returned to Beijing. You must be very tired. I ordered someone to clean up the house you used to live in, and the kitchen has also prepared meals. After eating the meals, go to bed early."

"Yes, thank you mother for caring."

----------

After the meal, the night in late autumn was silent, and sometimes a cold wind blew, making the bells jingle.

In the bright room, a little bun wrapped like a meat ball staggered on the ground for two steps, then fell down, stretched out his fleshy hands in his sleeves, raised his head to look at something, then locked his eyes and crawled towards one place go.

The little bun fell under the woman's lap, Xiao Youqing leaned over and picked him up, seeing that he was staring at the pen hanging on the table without moving, so he carried him to King Chu's side, "What is the prince writing?"

The king of Chu picked up the post with one line of characters written on it, "Look at this word."

"Jiangzuo style, this is the calligraphy of the Southern School. If I remember correctly, your majesty wrote it is the calligraphy of the Southern School. This word..." Xiao Youqing felt that the brushwork was familiar, as if it was very similar to a pair of imperial brushes at home, "It was written by your majesty Is it?"

"Even my sister thinks it looks like His Majesty's words?"

The person who understood the meaning turned his head and looked at him, "Is this the word of the prince?"

The king of Chu didn't answer, but turned around and put down the post, "Wei stele, I wrote it on purpose, the two calligraphy styles are opposite, others must not think of one, but if you use too much, it will appear deliberate, deliberate is a flaw, right Once you practice your calligraphy, maybe it will be useful in the future.”

Stretching his waist, the King of Chu suddenly turned his head to look at the innocent child in Xiao Youqing's arms, raised his eyebrows and said, "Is my sister going to take him with me tonight?"

"When he makes a fuss, the nurse can't coax him, and the concubine can't help it either."

"Then I was making a fuss, why didn't I see my sister come to coax me?"

"You?" Xiao Youqing looked down at her, "You are such a grown-up, how can I coax you?"

King Chu leaned his head on the table and stared at her, "What do you think, sister?"

Looking at the man-eating eyes in King Chu's eyes, Xiao Youqing was stunned for a while, then whispered to the child in his arms, "Did you hear, your father bullied your mother, when you grow up, You can't learn from your father."

The king of Chu smiled and said, "For three years, my sister's face hasn't changed at all, she's still so good-looking. Let alone three years, even 30 years, I don't think I can see enough or bully enough."

Regarding what King Chu said, Xiao Youqing just shook his head slightly, then took the child out and handed it to the palace man, turned around and walked back to look at the person who had been staring at him and said: "After three years, my concubine's face has not changed naturally, but Does the lord know how long 30 years are, and if the concubine's beauty fades in the future, can the lord still say such a thing?"

The King of Chu removed the hand holding his jaw, "Sister, don't you believe me?"

Xiao Youqing shook his head and approached.

The King of Chu remembered Bai Ri's mother's words, and stared at her seriously: "Sister is actually also afraid, afraid that I will end up becoming a heartless person like His Majesty, so Liu Lang wants to make an agreement with my sister."

"If God is really good at life, allow me to be king for 30 years..."

Xiao Youqing was taken aback by what the King of Chu hadn't finished speaking, and immediately stretched out his hand to touch her lips, complaining, "Why do you like cursing yourself so much because you have been king for 30 years?"

King Chu held her hand, "Isn't 30 years enough?"

Xiao Youqing gently touched her face, blinking her red eyes, "30 years, how could it be possible."

There are not many kings who have been in power for more than 30 years. The King of Chu still increased the number. She stretched out her hand and gently stroked the back of Xiao Youqing's hand, then hugged her distressedly, rubbed her waist and said softly: "Sister Don't be sad, I promise to my sister, if it's a good time, Liu Lang, it must be more than 30 years."

Xiao Youqing squatted down and threw herself into King Chu's arms, grabbed her lapel and complained: "Don't say such unlucky words again in the future."

"Okay, okay, don't talk, don't talk."

----------

In the [-]th year of Jianping, the Winter Solstice Conference was held. In mid-October, envoys from various countries had arrived in Tokyo one after another. By the beginning of November, the post houses such as Duting Post, Tongwen Pavilion, Libin Court, and Zhanyun Pavilion were all full of foreign envoys. The envoys of each state also brought the local characteristics of the states under their jurisdiction as tributes to the court.

"Have you heard?"

"Back to Alang, the servant girl has inquired. This year Xia Guo did send an envoy to pay tribute, and the Ministry of Rites arranged for it to be in the West Station of the Duting."

The King of Chu rubbed his smooth chin, "Xia Kingdom has not come to pay tribute for many years, and this time it came suddenly..." King Chu narrowed his eyes, "Send someone to keep an eye on them."

"Yes."

"Dianzhou officials will also enter the court during the winter solstice. Duke Longde should come back this year, right?"

Little Six nodded, and said again: "Even if it's not the Grand Court Meeting, Lord Longde will come back to see his great-grandson this winter solstice, right?"

The King of Chu was stunned suddenly, and said with a deep breath, "Zhou?"

"That's right, the little prince was born on the second night after the winter solstice. Didn't the prince return to Beijing at that time? The six sons all received the good news of the emperor's grandson's birth in Qishan."

The King of Chu slightly frowned and sat up, walked to the door of the study and stretched out his hands to support the door. Looking at the desolate scenery in the courtyard, he murmured: "It's a birthday, and it's also a death day."

When he lost his mind, a middle-aged man dressed as a house guard walked into the courtyard of the study, "Six kings."

The King of Chu regained his composure, and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

Fuwei took a step closer, "A secret letter from Sichuan."

The King of Chu glanced at no one around, then turned around and walked back to the study, took the secret letter from the Fuwei, and retreated out without waiting for the King of Chu to open the Fuwei.

The small note was folded several times, and as it was slowly opened, the handwriting was gradually revealed, and when all of them came out, King Chu almost fainted out of breath.

The King of Chu stared, opened his mouth and took a breath, then lost his center of gravity and fell backwards. Fortunately, he was supported by the little six who drove in, and panicked, "Ah Lang, what's wrong?"

When he leaned back, the torn paper fell to the ground along the weak hands of King Chu, and there were only eight short characters on it.
