"Elder-in-law" migraine

Chapter 49

Ashinalan looked up at Ren Zhi, smiled and shook his head, "Since I married your emperor brother, I knew what I would face in the future. But you, the seventh brother, the battlefield is dangerous, this time you are alone Leading troops to the battlefield and driving the Khitan people out of Yingzhou City is to relieve His Majesty's worries."

Duan Bing was dangling on the low stool, Ren Zhi stretched out his hand to support him, and replied, "Sister-in-law Huang is treating Ren Zhi as an outsider in this way, and a minister should share the worries of the king, otherwise why should the emperor be angry?" Pay me?"

Ashinalan laughed, and the smile dissipated, and the two were relatively silent again. Just when Ren Zhi felt a little embarrassed and was about to find a reason to leave, a voice suddenly came from behind, "I just said you are here, Have you had breakfast?"

Ren Zhi turned his head and saw Duan Yixian walking in, he turned his head to look at Ashina Lan, bowed slightly and said, "I have seen Brother Huang."

Duan Yixian was stunned, and randomly saw Ashinalan at the side, the smile on his face faded slightly, "So the queen is here too."

Ashinalan bowed and saluted, "The concubine has seen His Majesty."

Duan Yixian nodded, "There are no outsiders, so there is no need to be so polite."

Duan Bingzheng turned around from the small stool and saw Duan Yixian, he opened a pair of small hands, "Father!"

Duan Yixian walked up to him in two steps, stretched out his hand to hug Duan Bingzheng, Duan Bingzheng curled his lips, and pointed to Ren Ren in the cradle, "Father, there is a little sister."

Duan Yixian nodded, "Zhier, is sister Qingya pretty?"

"Looks good!" Duan Bingzheng replied seriously, "Father, can Zhier come to Funing Hall to play with his sister every day?"

"Of course." Duan Yixian pulled out a hand and rubbed Duan Bingzheng's head, "Zhier, Sister Qingya is your own sister. As an older brother, you should play with her when you are young. When you grow up, you You have to take care of her and protect her, even if your father and uncle are gone in the future, you have to promise your father that as long as you are here, you will protect her forever."

Duan Bingzheng looked at Duan Yixian with wide eyes. He couldn't fully understand Duan Yixian's string of words, but he still nodded seriously, "Father, Zhier promises you, Zhier will definitely take care of my sister and protect her." .”

Ren Zhi licked his lower lip, and subconsciously shifted his gaze to Ashinalan. Ashinalan's complexion was pale, and he stared at Duan Yixian with complicated eyes.Ren Zhi sighed and looked away. He never felt sorry for Ashinalan, because he felt that he deserved what he got today.However, I have to say that Duan Yixian actually used Ashinalan that day.

Ashinalan noticed Ren Zhi's gaze, forced a smile, met Ren Zhi's gaze, and then said to Duan Yixian, "Your Majesty, I have something to do in the palace, so I will go back first."

Duan Yixian nodded, "I haven't seen Zhi'er for a long time, let him stay in Funing Hall for a day. He can come here every day in the future, just now that there is a screen, it will save them from being lonely."

Ashina Lanfu said, "Understood, the concubine will leave."

Ashinalan turned around and took the maid out the door, Ren Zhi stood there staring at her back until she left completely, Duan Yixian looked at Ren Zhi and raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong?"

Ren Zhi withdrew his gaze, took Duan Bingzheng from his arms, and said softly, "I just don't understand who she and I are sorry for?"

Duan Yixian frowned, "For her, the position of a queen is far more important than a caring husband. I fulfilled her wish, and in return she should not interfere with who I like and want to be with. So never No one is sorry for anyone. She should understand what she has to lose when she sits in that position. If it weren't for the incompatibility of etiquette, that position should have been yours."

Ren Zhi closed his eyes and did not speak, Duan Yixian glanced at Ren Ping in the cradle, then turned to ask the nurse, "Is Ping'er safe and sound this night?"

The nurse replied, "Return to Your Majesty, the little princess is very good, she woke up once at night, after eating, she was coaxed a little and then went back to sleep, neither noisy nor disturbing."

Duan Yixian nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at Ren Zhi, "Let's have breakfast first, and then you can watch the screen later."

Ren Zhi nodded, hugged Duan Bingzheng, turned around and walked towards the main hall, Duan Yixian followed them back to the main hall.

Duan Bingzheng has always been looking forward to eating in Funing Palace, he sat obediently beside Ren Zhi, waiting for Ren Zhi to serve him dishes, no matter what Ren Zhi put on his plate, he would obediently eat it, then rolled his eyes Looking at Ren Zhi, "Uncle Huang, I still want to eat."

Duan Yixian glanced at the two of them, shook his head with a smile, and looked at Ren Zhi, "Zhier is very close to you."

Ren Zhi poured soup for Duan Yixian and put it in front of him, and suddenly said, "Why did you say those things in front of the queen just now, no matter what, Zhi'er is your and her child."

"Zhi'er is my child, but Ping'er is your daughter and mine." Duan Yixian took a sip and said lightly, "I must guarantee that even if you and I are gone in the future, someone will take care of you and me Our daughter."

Ren Zhi's hand holding the chopsticks paused for a moment, and finally turned into a deep sigh.

From that day on, Duan Bingzheng went in and out of Funing Hall every day, and played with Ren Zhi with Ren Ping. Sometimes Ren Zhi would teach him martial arts in the open space when he was free. Duan Bingzheng and Ren Zhi had a closer relationship, but Duan Yixian I am happy to see this result, but some people are starting to feel deeply disturbed.

In the Hall of Yiyuan, Ashinalan was reading a book by the desk alone. The door of the hall was pushed open, and her mother, Mrs. Lin, walked in. Her eyes swept across the hall, and she frowned slightly, "Where is the prince?"

Ashinalan looked away from the book, "Going to Funing Hall."

Mrs. Lin stretched out her hand and pulled the book from Ashinalan's hand, "Your Majesty is in the morning court now, what is the prince doing at Funing Hall so early?"

"King Xiaoyao sent someone to pick him up, saying that he would take the prince and Princess Shaohua to play in the Royal Garden." Ashinalan replied flatly.

"Xiaoyao Wang?" Mrs. Lin snorted softly, "I used to be just a eunuch who was neither male nor female, so you let him bully you like this now? I was worried that you would marry many women in the royal family and compete for a husband, but I didn't expect You can't even compete for a man. Your Majesty has guaranteed that Zhi'er will always be the crown prince, but if things go on like this, the crown prince will not kiss you in the future, but will kiss some kind of prince. When the crown prince grows up, I'm afraid he will only recognize him Little Huangshu, if you don't recognize your mother, why don't you think about yourself?"

Ashinalan frowned and said, "What am I thinking about? I am the queen now, and there are no other women in the harem. Why should I compete with a man? Your Majesty's thoughts are on that man, so I will kill him." I can't make him like me, so why should I do those risky things so that I can't even keep my current position?"

Mrs. Lin stared at Ashinalan for a long while and shook her head, "Forget it, I will teach you how to read and teach you all kinds of things about the Han family. I just don't want you to be turned into a barbarian by the Turkic blood in your body, but I didn't expect to teach you to be a barbarian." It looks like this. You are the queen, and everything in the harem is up to you, but now everyone is more respectful than you when they see the Xiaoyao Wang. What he is suffering now is what you deserve. Do you just Are you not angry?"

Ashinalan got up and took his book out of Mrs. Lin's hand, turned to the page he had just now, lowered his head and read it again.After a long while, she suddenly said, "Greed is not enough to swallow like a snake. When I asked for this position back then, I didn't dare to ask for more, otherwise I was afraid that I would lose more. With my current state, I can guarantee you and me It is enough for a person to live in peace, why do we need more?"

Mrs. Lin looked at her for a while, then turned around angrily and left the palace gate. Ashinalan sighed deeply as she faced the open gate.

Mrs. Lin went all the way to the imperial garden, the maid who followed behind was a little hesitant, but still followed her all the way.Mrs. Lin is the empress's own mother. No matter who sees her, she will respectfully call her old lady. The people around her also serve her carefully, so as not to offend her and the empress.

Duan Yixian personally ordered Mrs. Lin to enter and exit the palace at will, and gave her a house in the imperial city outside the palace. If she felt uncomfortable in the palace, she could leave the palace at any time.The old lady usually goes back and forth outside the palace and in the Yiyuan Hall, and rarely wanders around in the palace, but at this time she went to the Imperial Garden for some reason.

Mrs. Lin was walking on the road with her brows tightly furrowed. As a mother, she naturally wanted to win more for her daughter.Although she is a valuable Kehe Dun in Turkic, she can't decide her own destiny, just like the property of the Turkic Khan. After the Khan's death, the successor Khan can take him in as his stepmother if he wants.She begged Khan to marry her daughter to the Central Plains, just because she didn't want her to repeat her own mistakes. Now, she finally escaped from that place and came to her daughter, hoping to win more for her. It can guarantee that she will always be in the highest position, and that she will not be bullied for the rest of her life.

Thinking of this, she walked all the way to the Royal Garden, and saw a few people not far in front of her, the Xiaoyao King was squatting on the ground with open arms, and Princess Shaohua was tremblingly walking towards him under the protection of the servant , the prince was squatting beside him, watching the two of them intently.

Mrs. Lin frowned, coughed lightly, and walked straight towards Ren Zhi.
