Chapter 52: Mother's kindness and son's filial piety
Coming to this conclusion, Eunuch Yan's mind went blank, and cold sweat poured down his back.
Seeing Lihua walking forward with an imposing manner, her eyes full of contempt and disgust for him, more frightening than the master in the palace, Eunuch Yan unconsciously backed away slowly while holding the book.
Lihua walked in front of him, and Eunuch Yan took a big step back in fright, leaning against the palace wall in panic. His movements and expression were exactly the same as those of the lonely nun yesterday.
Lihua snatched the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" from his hand and snorted: "Bring it to you!"
She had wanted to do this for a long time. If this book was left in the old eunuch's hands, it would be a waste for any longer.
History reappeared, and the beautiful ladies below were dumbfounded, just when everyone thought the dust had settled.
The confused Eunuch Yan suddenly shouted: "No, you are talking nonsense, I don't believe you understand "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic"!"
No one in the entire ceremony department understands "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", or has even heard of it. How could a little beautiful girl have such ability?
Today, he doesn’t believe in this evil!
Eunuch Yan seemed to have found his confidence, straightened his back again, and started to resist.
The show girls opened their eyes wide and pricked up their ears. Is there still a reversal?
Lihua took the book into her hands, paused after hearing the words, and looked at Eunuch Yan coldly, she really couldn't shed tears until she saw the coffin.
"Today I will teach my father-in-law a new word, what is immortality without doing anything!"
…
On the way back to Zhuangning Palace.
Yuchi Gong slowly moved forward with the Queen Mother on his back. The Queen Mother had woken up, and the mother and son were chatting. Aunt Qin, Zhang Defa and others were far behind, not daring to get too close.
The Queen Mother was filled with emotions. Her son had broad shoulders and strong muscles, which he had trained hard since he was a child. He was different from those white-faced scholars who had no strength to tie chickens. He had good looks and was good in everything.
Being carried by her son makes any mother happy in her heart, but the Queen Mother hopes that the emperor is carrying a young woman at this moment, rather than her, an old woman.
She said sadly: "Gong'er, tell your mother what you like, and she will choose the one for you."
A figure subconsciously appeared in Yuchi Gong's mind, and then he smiled silently. He had never been in contact with anyone before, it was too early to talk about liking her, and he didn't know why he thought of her.
He said: "Mother, you are fine now. You don't have to worry too much."
People in the Yuchi family are never cowards. If he likes someone, he will take the initiative to attack him.
It's just that in his heart, the country, the country, and the country are the most important, and he is busy with political affairs on weekdays. He has no time to care about love, love, and the love of his children. The time he has is better used to check for the moths in several countries.
It's not good to say these things to the Queen Mother, lest she think too much and worry too much.
The queen mother became even more worried: "You don't have a queen. How can you rest assured if your mother doesn't help you worry about this?"
Yuchi Gong comforted: "Queen mother, fate is determined by fate. I believe that I will have my own queen. Until then, I will honor you with her."
The Queen Mother hummed softly: "That's all, the Ai family doesn't want to see those wives of the imperial court, crying and howling in mourning, as if they came to cry in front of the Ai family, it's bad luck!"
When this was mentioned, the Queen Mother became excited.
Before the late emperor left, he wanted to make the crown prince a concubine. The former emperor was in mourning. At that time, people in the harem asked to see her every day. They openly and secretly tried to dissuade the crown prince from establishing a concubine, for fear that the crown prince would fall on the family.
It was obvious that those people in the past had evil intentions, were corrupt and perverted the law, and had a lot of scheming. Who can blame them for their bad endings? But they put the name of a wife-suppressing family on their own son. It is strange that the Queen Mother can be happy.
The Queen Mother regretted very much that she had not kept her eyes open to choose concubines for her son. The three fiancées who were carefully selected looked gentle, demure, well-informed and courteous, and they were good in everything. Who would have thought that they were all short-lived ghosts, each with their own problems, hidden
Extremely deep.
For example, one of the families was so bold that they concealed their daughter's epilepsy, and tried to cover up the corruption and perversion of the law by marrying the prince. Later, the daughter suffered from epilepsy, fell from the pavilion, hit the back of her head, and died.
Even so, the Queen Mother was scarred in her heart after all. Sometimes she would suffer from insomnia late at night and secretly wonder whether the emperor's destiny was too tough, which is why he met three people like this in a row.
Yuchi Gong didn't say much about this topic. It involves a profound political game and balance. He didn't want to say much. He only comforted: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, there will be someone with great fortune, good fortune and both political integrity and talent as my queen in the future."
The Empress Dowager had long given up hope in establishing a queen. In the past, she had very strict demands on how a palace concubine should be. After several years of twists and turns, now her demands have been lowered again and again.
As long as she was a woman and her son could like her, she would do it. Nothing else mattered, but she didn't know that the emperor's standards were much stricter than hers.
At this point in the conversation, the Queen Mother thought that her son was thinking very far. He seldom set foot in the harem on weekdays, and women did not even look at him. Returning to the queen was too big a step, so she should solve the immediate problem first.
She sighed leisurely: "In the past few years, at the palace banquets, the Queen Mother has watched her destined woman play with her grandson, and I don't know how envious she feels in her heart. The Queen Mother does not want to force you, but you are now twenty-two and have no heir.
, the queen mother is worried that those old stubborns from the previous government will nag you every day..."
Yuchi Gong couldn't help but laugh. As soon as he heard it, he understood what his mother meant. She obviously wanted to have a grandson, but she used this as an excuse.
An ordinary person would not pay attention to it, but the Queen Mother was different.
Yuchi Gong did not want to be perfunctory and said what he was thinking: "I understand what the queen mother said. It was ten years after the emperor Shengying ascended the throne that he and Queen Shengde gave birth to a son. He carefully taught him and became a martial emperor, expelling the Tartars and opening up the territory.
, Only when the country is prosperous and the people are safe, can we have our present day. I have only been on the throne for three years, so there is no need to rush."
He stared into the void, as if thinking of someone, and said slowly: "Besides, even if I have no heirs, don't I still have..."
The Queen Mother frowned as she listened. Why does that mean she doesn't want to give birth yet?
When she heard the last sentence, her heart trembled and she sternly stopped her: "Shut up!"
She slapped the emperor's shoulder hard and said angrily: "Emperor, no matter what you think, these words are rotten in your heart. No one can say them, not even the Aijia."
I'm afraid that someone with intentions will find out and take advantage of it, with disastrous consequences.
Yuchi Gong was silent for a while and said solemnly: "Mother, please be at ease, the emperor's heir is the foundation of the country. I naturally want to have my own heir, and I will never say this again in the future."
Since ancient times, it was not uncommon for blood relatives to fight against each other in order to fight for the throne. Rivers of blood flowed. He would never consider it that way until that point. He knew that the Queen Mother had good intentions.
The Queen Mother asked her to put her down, with a solemn look on her face, and gave her another severe scolding before giving up.
What she said was just a clear hint that she wanted to have a grandson, but it was cut off like this and she couldn't continue the conversation.
Thinking of what happened last night, Her Majesty the Queen Mother said:
"As for Xiu Nu, that's all. It's just that the Ai family doesn't want to be like before. Last night, they specially called Zhang Defa to give him a lesson and teach him to take care of the little eunuchs in Cangchen Palace, otherwise the Ai family won't be able to spare him.
"
After speaking, he glanced behind him, and Zhang Defa felt a sharp gaze coming from a distance. His scalp immediately became numb and his head lowered.
She did not make it clear in her words that her son's face must always be given. This chapter has been completed!
