Chapter 284: After the rain, the sky clears and everything becomes new
It was a bit rainy that day, and it started to rain nonstop since midnight.
Xue Hengzhao fell asleep more and more deeply as he listened to the sound of rain. Chi Su got up early and tucked her into bed, then went out and brought breakfast directly into the room.
"Take a bite under the quilt! After eating, go to sleep." Chi Su said, "On a day like this, you don't have to go out. We will be waiting for you, so you can sleep well."
"There should be nothing going on now. I'll rest assured and sleep for a few days." Xue Hengzhao stretched out, pushed his hair back, and sure enough, he ate breakfast lying on his stomach on the bed.
After she finished her meal, Chi Su brought her some water to rinse her mouth with.
As expected, the rain continued continuously and only stopped for a while until noon.
Concubine Fu stopped calling so many people in front of her and said, "It's a cloudy day for everyone today! No one is walking around. What are you people doing standing in front of me? You should disperse now! Stay here."
It's enough to keep Bishu and Youzhu in front of me. Chi Su goes back and looks at Heng Zhao, don't let her sleep with her head flat."
This sentence made everyone laugh, and Concubine Fu also knew that Xue Hengzhao was too sleepy.
The rain lasted for three days before it cleared up. When the sun came out, it was about how to deal with everyone.
"It's obvious that Concubine Xian and the others obeyed the Queen's will, but now, they only punished Concubine Xian and her brother, without mentioning the Queen at all." Youzhu was a little angry, "And the punishment was not severe, so the punishment was
Liu Mizhang's salary for one year was not even reduced to official position!"
"Isn't it the same for the virtuous concubine? Three months of shutting up and thinking about it, and a year of punishment." Fangdian clicked his tongue and shook his head, "In the final analysis, the emperor still wants to save face for the queen! How could he not know that the virtuous concubine is doing things for the queen?
.”
"Because of their commotion, our mother-in-law's birthday was completely missed." Bishu said, "It was originally moved to a later date because this incident didn't stop for a month."
"Didn't the Emperor also ask Princess Maoling and Uncle Yao to apologize to our queen? This can be regarded as punishing them in disguise!" Chi Su said.
"It's just an apology. It's just a bit of lip service. Who cares?" Youzhu said, "It's not like you are bullying our lady for her sexual nature."
"Don't accuse the emperor unjustly. If he doesn't punish him severely, he is afraid that the Yao family will hate our mother-in-law even more." Chi Su said, "In the end, this matter can't really do anything to them, but it can make the civil and military ministers and the emperor feel happy."
Knowing that our lady is innocent is more important than anything else.
The emperor wanted to be a peacemaker, so he refused to go into details. Moreover, the fifth prince also won a lot of people's hearts this time because he stood up for others!"
Because Chi Su often took pictures with Xue Heng, he had a better perspective on things than others.
"Hengzhao, it's sunny now. Wake up quickly." Youzhu pushed Xue Hengzhao, "Let's go outside and bask in the sun together. Your face is so pale that it's almost losing all color."
Others also urged Xue Hengzhao to get up quickly and go outside for a walk.
Xue Hengzhao couldn't stand the trouble, so he reluctantly got up and followed the others outside to bask in the sun and catch the wind.
The Sixth Prince came into the palace to see the Concubine Xian.
The concubine Xian was confined to the palace, wearing casual clothes with ink gauze, and was tending a pot of orchids there.
His expression was as peaceful as usual.
Seeing his son coming, he put down the flower scissors and said with a smile: "Why are you here? Have you eaten yet?"
"Mother concubine..." the sixth prince called, his voice choked with sobs, "I told you before, don't do things for the queen.
I went to the palace to persuade you several times before, but you just didn't listen. How about now? My father didn't blame the queen at all, the punishment fell entirely on you. And uncle, there are no words outside now."
"What are you talking about? Zuo is just saying that your uncle and I are both lackeys of the Yao family. We fry beans for others to eat and pay for it ourselves." Concubine Xian was still smiling, as if she was telling a joke, "I will not use it for others to eat."
Your uncle takes these words to heart as well."
"Concubine, when did you become like this?" The Sixth Prince looked at Concubine Xian with extremely painful eyes, "In my heart, you have always been gentle and kind. You would not even say bad things about others, let alone go.
Harm people.”
"Silly boy, do you think I have a choice?" Concubine Xian suppressed the smile on her face and raised her head to look out the window, which was full of pink and willows, but extremely lonely. "Just like when you got married, we have no choice.
.”
"Why don't you have a choice?!" The Sixth Prince suddenly became anxious, "You should have followed me and refused to agree to this marriage in the first place, so that nothing would happen later.
Just like Concubine Fu and Brother Wu, they simply went head-to-head with them, and after several battles, didn't they gain the upper hand?
We kept trying to compromise, and in the end we were left with nothing but grievances.”
"My child, what you said doesn't make sense. We are always wronged because we can't make the decision. Only when we can make the decision can we not be wronged." Concubine Xian gave the Sixth Prince a deep look, which seemed to mean
See his heart.
"Concubine, what do you mean by this?" The Sixth Prince was startled, "As long as we are willing, we can be our own masters! Common people all know that a cow that doesn't drink water can be forced to press its head, and a melon that has been forcefully twisted will not taste sweet.
At the beginning, Yao Wanyi was still thinking about brother Gu Ming! Didn't it work out? He is the one I admire the most. He would rather risk his life than do anything against his will. This is a man who is upright and upright!"
Concubine Xian shook her head in her heart, her son was really ignorant!
"Speaking of Wanyi, you have to love her well. No matter what, she is pregnant with your child and has had a miscarriage. The most important thing for a woman is this time. You have to warm her heart, and she will treat you
I am absolutely determined." Concubine Xian immediately changed her tone and warned her son as usual.
The concubine Xian was restrained, and the emperor ordered Yao Wanyi to leave the palace.
"Concubine, can you please stop mentioning her? I want to vomit when I hear her name now." The sixth prince said painfully.
"My child, there is no regret medicine in this world. You can only look forward." Concubine Xian said, "I will ask them to prepare a meal. You accompany me to eat. After eating, go and look around the palace. Don't think
Look down on people. Victory and defeat are common matters in military affairs, and there is nothing to laugh about."
However, the sixth prince felt that he and his mother were increasingly at odds with each other. Concubine Xian never seemed to know what he wanted, and he did not understand why his mother did what she did.
"Look," Concubine Xian said, pointing to the blue sky outside the window, "no matter how heavy the rain is, it will stop one day. Isn't it already sunny?"
The Sixth Prince said nothing. For him, what if it's sunny? So what if it rains?
No matter it was good weather or bad weather, in short, his heart was always gloomy. He lost his happiness and himself, and became more and more like a walking zombie.
