Concubine Mei was really sad, sobbing and crying: "What's the use of raising a son? He marries a wife and forgets his mother. This is true at all."
Concubine Mei is in her forties, and her charm is still there. When she cries, the pear blossoms are like rain, which makes people feel pity for her.
Sheng Hong was not a hard-hearted man, but seeing Concubine Mei so sad, his heart felt heavy.
However, there are some things that he must explain clearly to Concubine Mei, lest someone incite Concubine Mei to do something inappropriate in the future.
"Concubine, please stop crying." Sheng Hong sighed softly, took out a clean silk handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Mrs. Mei: "Wipe your tears."
Concubine Mei took the silk handkerchief, wiped her tears, and turned her head to the side.
Sheng Hong sighed softly and slowed down his voice: "After my mother-in-law entered the palace and gave birth to my sixth sister and me, we were so popular and favored. We were also hated by others because of this. My sixth sister died on my behalf, so I had to dress up as a woman.
, was able to survive.”
"Being in the Heavenly Family is the greatest misfortune for our siblings."
"I can never forget these things. Come to think of it, my mother and concubine can't forget them either."
The death of her daughter was the greatest pain in Mrs. Mei's life.
Her son was forced to dress up as a woman for six years, which was also a scar in Mei Taifei's heart.
These few words stung the pain in Mei Taifei's heart. Mei Taifei immediately turned her head and burst into tears: "It was my fault that I couldn't protect you siblings..."
"This is not the fault of the mother and concubine." Sheng Hong's voice was slightly lowered: "The heavenly family is ruthless, and the harem is constantly fighting. All the troubles are caused by the disputes between wives, concubines, and heirs."
"Mother, concubine, from the day I married Mingxi, I made up my mind to be married to her in this life and never be in a relationship with her."
"There is no room for a third person between the two of us."
"I don't want to make the same mistake as my father did, and my husband and wife were separated. I don't want my children to suffer the pain that Princess Changping suffered. I will never accept a palace concubine in my life."
The last sentence was said with great determination.
Concubine Mei's heart trembled suddenly, and she raised her eyes to look at Sheng Hong with a firm expression: "What if...I mean what if, if the Xie family is destined to have no children, just like Queen Mother Yu, what will you do? Do you want to adopt an adopted child?"
No heirs?"
etc!
There was a loud bang in Mrs. Mei's mind, like a thunder in the dark night, and she suddenly understood: "You have been raising Brother Ji, Brother Lin, and Brother Ting in the palace to educate them carefully, just to be 'just in case'?"
If Mr. Xie fails to give birth to a son, will you choose one of the three of them to adopt him?"
of course not.
He never had such an idea from beginning to end.
He let Brother Ji and the others live in the palace to take care of his nephews when they grow up, and also to give A Luo more playmates. When A Luo grows up, he will make A Luo the crown princess.
If Ah Luo is too mediocre, or dares not shoulder the heavy responsibility of the crown princess, he will consider making his nephew the crown prince... From the current point of view, this possibility is slim.
Ah Luo has inherited the advantages of their couple, she is smart and decisive, studious and studious, confident and strong. Their Ah Luo will set a precedent and become a generation of empress.
Of course, these words cannot be said to Mrs. Mei. At least, it is not the time to say them yet.
Sheng Hong responded vaguely: "What the mother and concubine said makes sense."
…
A nephew is as good as a biological son.
However, mother and son are arguing tonight, so it is not appropriate to start another dispute.
Concubine Mei has her own survival wisdom and code of conduct, and is good at overcoming strength with softness and forbearance and restraint.
She slowly wiped away the tears with a half-soaked handkerchief, and whispered with a choked voice: "That's all, I'm old, I just want to spend my old age in Hanxiang Palace with peace of mind. I don't care about the affairs between you husband and wife.
It's all for nothing to make you unhappy. I won't say anything from now on."
Sheng Hong was also a little helpless.
After being mother and son for several years, Mei Taifei didn't really understand his true temperament. However, he knew Mei Taifei's temperament very well.
When Mrs. Mei said this, she was not really persuaded by him, but just retreating in order to advance.
In the future, mother and son will definitely have disputes over this matter.
Sheng Hong cheered up, comforted Mrs. Mei for a few words, then got up and returned to Jiaofang Hall.
At this time, Xie Mingxi had accompanied A Luo into the martial arts training room. Sheng Hong changed into martial arts uniforms and fought with A Luo. Feeling a little depressed, Sheng Hong struck harder than usual.
A Luo was young and lacked physical strength, so she was soon dwarfed by him, and she retreated in embarrassment.
Xie Mingxi frowned slightly, took a long knife from the knife rest, and stepped forward: "A Luo, please step aside for now."
A Luo reflexively stepped back, stretched out her hand to wipe the sweat, and watched her father, queen and mother's moves with lingering fear.
There was something strange about her father tonight. His moves were much faster and more violent than usual. Fortunately, she was usually complacent and thought she was very powerful. It turned out that her father had just let her go.
The queen mother, on the other hand, doesn't do much with her hands on weekdays, but once she holds the long sword, she is as fierce and ruthless as her father.
After burning the incense, Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi struck each other fiercely with their long knives, and then each retreated.
Xie Mingxi was sweating on his forehead, his cheeks were red, and his eyes were a little brighter than usual.
Sheng Hong was also sweating slightly. Under Xie Mingxi's sharp and bright eyes, he felt a little ashamed: "I'm sorry. I have something on my mind tonight, so it's not important to take action." He quickly looked at A Luo: "A Luo, I'm sorry, father.
It didn’t hurt you!”
After resting for such a long time, A Luo regained her composure. She smiled and said: "No, I'm fine." Then she sighed sadly: "I thought I was very powerful, but today I realized that I'm still far from it. Not only is I not as good as my father.
The emperor is far inferior to the queen."
Xie Mingxi glanced at A Luo and said with a half-smile: "It turns out that in your heart, I have always been ranked second to your father and queen."
A Luo: "..."
Oops! Why did you say all the truth with such a bald mouth!
A Luo quickly smiled and said, "How could this happen? In my heart, my mother's skills are second to none, and she is not inferior to my father at all."
That flattering little look is so cute.
Xie Mingxi couldn't help laughing, smiled and waved her hand: "Okay, stop flattering here. Go to the clean room to take a shower and change clothes first, and then review your books. I'll check it out later."
A Luo walked away dejectedly.
The couple talked to each other in silence for a moment, then went to the clean room hand in hand, where they each took a shower and changed clothes. Sheng Hong was not in a hurry to go to the Qing Palace, and Xie Mingxi was not in a hurry to go to A Luo's side.
Xie Mingxi looked at Sheng Hong intently for a moment and asked softly: "What did the concubine say to make you unhappy?"
Sheng Hong: "..."
Sheng Hong touched his nose and smiled helplessly: "I can't hide anything from you."
Isn’t this obvious?
The vassal reduction had just begun, and there was no bad news coming back to the court for the time being. Everything in the harem was calm. The only person who could make Sheng Hong feel unhappy was Concubine Mei.
Xie Mingxi smiled faintly: "My mother-in-law only pretends to be you. No matter what she says that is offensive, she is always thinking about you. Don't get angry with her."
