The first thousand and thirty-six chapters: The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop
"Please be careful with your Majesty and your Majesty." Saying this, Yongxun clasped his fingers under his lips, and a crisp whistle sounded in the palace. Immediately afterwards, he heard "Hail your Majesty" and "My Majesty" one after another.
"Jin'an", and it was the humble budgerigar that said this.
Huang looked at the parrot that kept chirping in surprise. When the whistle stopped, the parrot closed its mouth and stopped imitating. Yongxuan took out a handful of perilla seeds from his small bag and added it to the food container.
inside the vessel.
Wei Jingxuan said with a smile: "There is such an exquisite and cute parrot. No wonder the fourth elder brother said that it would be snatched away. I fell in love with it when I saw it. I wish I could take it back to Yimeixuan to raise it. By the way, you are
How did you find it? And does it keep barking as long as the whistle sounds?"
Her praise made Yongxuan very happy, and he rolled his eyes and said: "Yes, if the whistle doesn't stop, it will not stop learning the tongue, and will keep shouting until it becomes hoarse. However, Lin Changshou said that it is not appropriate to let it learn the tongue.
It won’t last long, otherwise it may not want to bark again in the future; no
"But you can't make it bark just by making any whistle. It has to have a specific melody and syllables. I just learned it from him for a long time. In addition to whistles, I feed it perilla seeds and it will bark just as well." Lin Changshou is
The housekeeper is in charge of the affairs of the palace and is responsible for raising animals in the palace.
Wei Jingxuan nodded slightly and said, "So, Lin Changshou found it for you too?"
Yongxun responded and said: "He is the one who asked me to come over today. Among the parrots we searched, this one is the most eloquent and has the crispest voice." As he said that, he walked up to Huang.
"Mom, if you are unhappy in the future, let it learn the words for you. When I am free, teach it a few more words. It will sound more interesting then."
Huang said lovingly: "Eniang is not unhappy."
Yongxun frowned and said, "But you've been frowning recently, and I rarely see you smiling."
Huang stroked his raised eyebrows and said with a smile: "Really? But the person frowning now seems to be you? Doesn't Niang also have to find a parrot and teach it to say that Si Age is lucky? Wan Fu, Si Age.
?”
Yongxun blushed and said, "I'm telling you to be serious, why are you making fun of me instead?"
His appearance made Mr. Huang chuckle, "Okay, okay, it's E Niang's fault. I won't say anything anymore. I'm very happy that you have this intention. E Niang promises you that you will laugh often in the future."
, no more frowning.”
Hearing this, Yongxun immediately became happy, responded with a smile, and then left with Wu Si carrying the parrot. After he left, Wei Jingxuan said warmly: "Brother Si is really filial to you. I saw your empress a little bit."
You were a little unhappy, so you went to great lengths to find a parrot to make you happy."
Huang said with emotion: "Yes, the most joyful thing in my life is to have this child Yongxuan. He has given me a lot of laughter and happiness. My greatest wish now is to see him get married and start a career."
"I understand, but..." Wei Jingxuan suddenly stopped talking in the middle of her words, with a faint look of worry on her brows.
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Huang asked doubtfully: "But what?"
Wei Jingxuan moved her lips a few times and finally said: "It's nothing, I didn't say anything."
"No, you just had something to say." Seeing that Wei Jingxuan still refused to speak, Huang said again: "There are no outsiders here, why don't you speak frankly?"
Wei Jingxuan sighed softly, "It's not that I don't want to speak out, but I'm afraid that the empress will mistakenly think that I'm deliberately provoking, so I don't dare to speak."
Huang frowned and said, "What is going on?"
This time, Wei Jingxuan was silent for a long time before she said meaningfully: "Have you ever thought about the future of your fourth brother?"
Huang was startled at first, then her cheeks twitched slightly and she said solemnly: "My greatest wish is that Yongxun is safe and healthy. I have never thought of what you are referring to."
Wei Jingxuan bowed and said: "I naturally understand, but not everyone will understand. Among the princes, the fourth elder brother ranks second, but the third elder brother's adoptive mother has been deposed into the cold palace, and he has no chance to inherit."
Datong, in other words, the fourth elder brother has become the de facto eldest son."
"So what, as long as this palace is here, he will not be allowed to compete for the throne." Before Hongli ascended the throne, Huang witnessed with his own eyes that he and Hongshi fought against each other for the throne. This incident
The incident was deeply imprinted in her mind, and she had always been indifferent by nature. For many years, she only guarded Yongxun with peace of mind. No matter who Hongli chose to inherit the throne, she never had any intention of competing for him.
"But other people don't think so. As the saying goes, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. Some people will think that Si Age is blocking their way, and thus have some inappropriate thoughts, such as... the imperial concubine."
Huang looked at Wei Jingxuan in astonishment. The next moment, she shook her head and said: "No, the imperial concubine has always loved Yongxuan, she will not do that. Besides, she has no heirs, so the fight for the throne..." Huang said
She suddenly stopped talking in the middle because she remembered one thing. Xianyue is now pregnant with a dragon fetus. In eight months, she will probably have an elder brother under her knees.
Wei Jingxuan looked at Mr. Huang's hesitant look and said: "It seems that the empress has also thought that the saying that she has no children no longer applies to the imperial concubine. Once the child is born, the new eldest son will have a direct relationship with the fourth elder brother.
conflict of interest.”
Huang sat there blankly for a long time, then she shook her head nervously, "No, I have said that the imperial concubine's feelings for Yongxun..."
Wei Jingxuan interrupted her and said, "Before these days, did your Majesty ever think that you and the Imperial Concubine would be where they are today?"
Her words left Huang speechless. Although she opened her mouth several times, no sound came out. After a long period of silence, she struggled to squeeze out a sentence from her throat, "I will not let her hurt Yongxun.
Absolutely not!"
Seeing that the heat was almost done, Wei Jingxuan didn't say anything more. She just sighed softly and said, "I hope all this is just my concubine's overthinking."
Wei Jingxuan left, but the shock and panic caused by her words did not end there. Huang sat in her chair without saying a word until Yongxuan came to call her to have dinner.
Yongxun opened his eyes wide and asked curiously: "Mother, what are you thinking about?"
Mrs. Huang caressed his childish face and said with an extremely serious expression: "Yongxun, E Niang will not let anyone take advantage of you, let alone let anyone have the opportunity to hurt you. You will be fine and you will be fine for the rest of your life.
"
Yongxun was a little scared and said: "Mother, what happened?"
Mrs. Huang forced out a smile and said, "It's nothing, I'm just talking casually. Have you done all your homework?"
