As parting approaches, father and daughter always have something to say about themselves that they don't want others to know.
Xie Jun first told Xie Mingxi: "After going to Shu, no one will pressure His Highness the King of Shu anymore, and you can live a more comfortable life. However, His Highness must not ignore the movements in the court. Write more letters home in the future."
Although he, the Minister of Rites, is not very capable, he will have no problem communicating with the King of Shu.
Xie Mingxi smiled slightly: "Father, don't worry. Lu Chi and Zhao Qi will communicate with their families from time to time, and His Highness has already arranged for someone to stay in the court. The movements in the court cannot be hidden from His Highness."
Xie Jun: "..."
Regarding the King of Shu's ability to successfully abduct Ye Tanhua, the number two scholar from Lu, Zhao, everyone in the court was in admiration. Xie Jun was no exception.
When he thought of Mr. Lu Ge and Mr. Zhao Ge, Xie Jun suddenly felt more confident. He nodded and said, "As long as you have an idea."
"No children are allowed during the filial piety period. After these two years, it would be better for you to give birth to an heir for King Shu as early as possible while you are still young. Only then can you feel at ease as a father."
No matter how good or outstanding a woman is, she can't give birth to a son as long as her belly is full of energy.
This is not prejudice, but fact.
Therefore, Xie Jun spoke confidently and did not feel that there was anything wrong with his words: "Your Highness is still young now, and you are also young. It is a time when love and affection are strong. However, women will always lose their lust and love as they age.
One day. Your husband’s favor is far less important than your son. After a few years, you will understand this truth.”
Xie Mingxi took a deep look at Xie Jun and said abruptly: "Aunt Ding thought the same way back then."
Xie Jun: "..."
Xie Jun has been practicing for many years and has an old and thick skin. He was only embarrassed for a moment, and then he reconciled himself: "Yuan Ting was raised crooked. It was an accident. We can't change it."
Speaking of Aunt Ding and her son, Xie Jun said a few more words: "Yuan Ting has been locked up in the old house in Lin'an to study. In a few years, his character will be completely smoothed out, and I will marry him a wife. Let's give him a wife.
He just needs to live peacefully in his old house."
"In the past two years, Aunt Ding has become more honest and peaceful. She eats fast and chants Buddha's name in the yard every day."
"Ming Niang, I don't know when you will come back after you go to Shu. Before you leave, you should go and see Aunt Ding! No matter how many things she did to you, she still endured the pain of being pregnant for ten months.
about you."
…
No matter how many things she did to regret you, she endured the pain of ten months of pregnancy and gave birth to you.
Xie Mingxi was silent for a moment and nodded.
Maybe it's because her life is happy and smooth now, and the resentment and anger in her heart have long subsided. Maybe it's because after becoming a mother, her heart is much softer than before.
Or maybe it's because, if we say goodbye today, we will never see each other again in the future.
Xie Mingxi was actually willing to meet Aunt Ding.
For Xie Jun, this was also an unexpected surprise. He immediately ordered someone to deliver the letter, and then he and Xie Mingxi walked slowly to Lanxiangyuan.
The gate of Lanxiang Courtyard is locked all year round, and is only opened once when the maids and servants deliver three meals a day. It is almost dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun has dyed the sky red.
Xie Mingxi stepped into Lanxiang Courtyard.
A skinny woman stood under the eaves of the corridor, wearing a plain dress. She no longer had the touching beauty of the past. She was like a dried orange, without moisture and moisture.
Aunt Ding's eyes were not filled with longing for intimacy, but instead were filled with fear and uneasiness. Looking at Xie Mingxi's figure from a distance, the fear in her eyes became more and more intense.
Xie Mingxi stood a few meters away and looked at Aunt Ding from a distance.
Aunt Ding's face became increasingly sad, and her whole body started to tremble.
Xie Jun frowned.
This Aunt Ding was simply unable to hold up the wall. He specifically begged Xie Mingxi to come and say goodbye to her. This time was the best chance for mother and daughter to reconcile, and it was also the only chance for Aunt Ding to stand up.
Aunt Ding didn't know what to do, so she trembled alone.
Not to mention Xie Mingxi, even when he looked at it, he was particularly angry.
"Hanxiang," Xie Jun gave Aunt Ding a warning look: "The Princess of Shu is about to leave the capital. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Aunt Ding looked pale and knelt down with a plop: "Please, Princess Shu, please don't argue with me about the past, and allow me to live peacefully in Xie Mansion. From now on, I will burn incense for Princess Shu in front of the Buddha every day, and pray to the Buddha."
May Princess Shu live a long life."
Xie Jun: "..."
Xie Jun was so angry that the veins on his forehead jumped.
I asked you to talk about the love between mother and daughter. Who asked you to talk about this? It is so stupid and despairing!
Xie Mingxi was not disappointed at all. Instead, she twitched her lips and laughed: "Aunt Ding, get up!"
Aunt Ding did not dare to get up. She still knelt down and lowered her head, and said tremblingly: "I beg Princess Shu to spare Yuanting's life. He has done many wrong things and is now being punished. Please allow him to live in peace."
World……"
"Shut up!" Xie Jun interrupted Aunt Ding unbearably: "Princess Shu came here specifically to see you before she left. Do you have nothing else to say other than this?"
In the past, Lilac Hanxiang was also a gentle and lovely flower that answered questions. Apart from being a little thoughtful and prone to crying, there was nothing wrong with her. When did she become like this?
Your biological daughter is leaving for Shu, don't you have any worries or advice?
Aunt Ding was really confused.
She really couldn't think of anything to say.
Xie Mingxi's mood was as cool as water, and she was still not angry at all. She said calmly: "Okay, I will obey you."
Aunt Ding was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly to express her gratitude: "Thank you so much, Princess Shu! Thank you so much, Princess Shu!"
Xie Mingxi raised the corners of her lips, turned and left.
She doesn't hate Aunt Ding. Of course, she doesn't feel any guilt or pity for Aunt Ding.
Maybe, she is really born cool! Therefore, when I look at Aunt Ding, I feel no wave in my heart, just like looking at a strange passerby.
…
Xie Mingxi left Lanxiangyuan without looking back, and then stopped.
A handsome young man in plain clothes strode forward.
He is her husband-in-law and her daughter's biological father, Sheng Hong.
Sheng Hong walked over quickly, held her shoulders with both hands, and his eyes fell on her face with a little eagerness: "Mingxi, are you okay?"
This is the person who loves her the most and cares about her most in the world.
God treated her well. Although she had no relatives who loved and cared for her, he gave her a husband who knew her, understood her, loved her and cherished her.
"I'm fine." Xie Mingxi raised the corners of her lips, her eyes filled with tenderness: "Sheng Hong, you should have some confidence in me. No one in this world can hurt my heart."
"The only one who can hurt me is you."
Because I only care about you.
Such sweet and intoxicating love words made Sheng Hong's heart surge.
He stretched his arms and hugged Xie Mingxi tightly: "You will never have the chance to be sad in this life."
