Steel Dynasty - Chapter 199
[Chapter 199 Reunion]
Bishui Pavilion, Liuli has been waiting at the door.
Since the morning, Concubine Zhen came to ask several times, as if she was afraid of missing King Qi.
But it’s no wonder that King Qi has been gone for three years. For a mother, there is nothing more painful than this. After all, King Qi is Concubine Zhen’s only hope now.
Leaning against the door, Liuli was counting petals boredly. When she heard footsteps, she instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw Xiao Huangmen leading a handsome young man towards the Bishui Pavilion.
In this land of harem and concubines, the only men who could come and go freely were the Holy Lords, and the other ones were the princes.
Looking at the young master at this time, Liuli was immediately pleasantly surprised. Although Xiao Ming’s appearance had changed a lot three years ago, his general appearance remained the same. She immediately ran back in surprise and shouted: “Your Majesty, Your Majesty , His Highness is back, Your Highness is back.”
Concubine Zhen, who was waiting anxiously in the Bishui Pavilion, was startled when she heard this, and then she shed two lines of tears. She put down the female worker in her hand and walked out quickly with the help of the palace maid.
Xiao Ming also arrived at the door at this time. He still remembered that the palace maid just now was Liuli beside Concubine Zhen.
Before he could enter, a beautiful woman in purple palace clothes walked out of the palace. When she saw Xiao Ming, the beautiful woman came up to him with tears in her eyes.
This is Xiao Ming’s predecessor’s mother, Concubine Zhen.
“Ming’er.” When they got closer, Concubine Zhen cried and hugged Xiao Ming, crying bitterly.
The other palace maids also wiped the corners of their eyes when they saw this, as if they were moved by this scene.
Xiao Ming felt more embarrassed than seeing Xiao Wenxuan at this moment, because the person in front of him was his nominal mother.
Xiao Ming was grateful for Concubine Zhen. In any era, mothers are great. Concubine Zhen, like all mothers, protected herself from the wind and rain in the dangerous place of Chang’an.
If it weren’t for Concubine Zhen’s help, her wine and perfume wouldn’t be able to sell so well in Chang’an. The fashion trends spreading in the palace played a big role.
According to a normal meeting, the predecessor Xiao Ming would probably burst into tears at this time, but Xiao Ming couldn’t cry. After all, he was not that Xiao Ming.
Being hugged by Concubine Zhen, Xiao Ming didn’t know where to put his hands for a moment. After hesitating, he patted Concubine Zhen’s thin shoulder and said, “Concubine, my son is back.”
Concubine Zhen He nodded in Xiao Ming’s arms, raised his head after a while, and kept looking at Xiao Ming, as if he wanted to see enough of Xiao Ming.
Wiping her tears, Concubine Zhen grabbed Xiao Ming’s hand, smiled through her tears, and said to Liuli: “In three years, my Ming’er has grown taller and more handsome. Let’s go and sit in the house. “
Concubine Zhen’s gentle and gentle look warmed Xiao Ming’s heart. This feeling of being cared for will always touch people.
Xiao Ming thought that since he was already Xiao Ming, he should not remember his previous life anymore. After all, this was his new life.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ming suddenly relaxed a little. He accompanied Concubine Zhen into the Bishui Pavilion, smiling all the way.
“Mom, this Bishui Pavilion is exactly the same as it was three years ago. It hasn’t changed at all.”
When the two arrived at the house, Concubine Zhen asked Xiao Ming to sit down next to her, and asked Liuli to make tea for Xiao Ming.
From the moment Xiao Ming entered the Bishui Pavilion, Concubine Zhen’s eyes never left Xiao Ming. She said, “You have arranged many things here for my mother. Every time I see these, my mother also has a thought, so He didn’t let the servants touch her.”
Xiao Ming nodded. He could see that Concubine Zhen really cared for him. He said, “Mom, you have lived a good life in the palace for the past three years. There is no concubine. If he bullies you, tell me and I will take care of him for you.”
Xiao Ming’s words made Concubine Zhen feel warm in her heart and she shed tears again.
There are only a few people who can be trusted in this palace compound. They are wary of each other and criticize each other. Life is like walking on thin ice. Like every concubine, the only thing they have left is their own heir.
“No one dares to bully me. After your great victory in Cangzhou, the concubines in this palace respect my mother even more.” Concubine Zhen’s eyes were red.
Xiao Ming took out a handkerchief from his arms to wipe away Concubine Zhen’s tears and said, “Mom, it’s a pity that I can’t take you to Qingzhou, otherwise our mother and son wouldn’t have to be separated.”
Concubine Zhen sighed, “The man has ambitions in all directions. What’s more, you are the lord of the vassal. As long as you can be well, mother will be relieved. If you can be in peace, everything will be worth it.”
Xiao Ming became more and more moved. Having a mother like this is also a blessing.
Liuli’s eyes were red and she persuaded: “My queen, please stop crying. It’s a joy to have His Highness back. Crying too much will hurt your body.”
“Yes, yes, don’t cry.” Concubine Zhen wiped her hands. With tears in his eyes, he suddenly smiled and said: “Ming’er, you have a big happy event when you come back this time. Your father is in Fiji to discuss the betrothal of his youngest daughter Fei Yue’er to you.”
Liuli smiled and said: “Your Highness, this Fei Yue’er Yue’er is well-known as a beauty in Chang’an City, and she is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. The most important thing is that she is a woman of the Fei family. It is useless for the powerful people of Chang’an to cross the threshold. “
In my heart, Concubine Zhen. Having already told him about this matter, he said: “It’s just that not many people in Chang’an City have seen Fei Yue’er, so how do you know whether he is ugly or beautiful?”
Concubine Zhen glared at Xiao Ming: “You’re so stupid Why haven’t you changed your temper? Sex is like a knife to the head. How can this important matter of marriage only depend on appearance? As long as it is the daughter of the Fei family, even if it is an ugly girl, others are vying to marry it, but you are still picky. For this moment, your father I don’t know how much talk has been exchanged with Fiji, but Fiji is still ambiguous. This time you come to Chang’an, and after receiving the reward, you will go to see Fiji. Fiji has always been proud of itself and is very concerned about face. This matter is just waiting for you to go there. I can do it.”
“Mom, this Fiji is too big. He doesn’t even listen to what my father says. Is he going to rebel?” Xiao Ming slapped the table.
Concubine Zhen lightly hit Xiao Ming, “They say your temperament has changed, but I still see it as the same as before. If your father makes an order, Fiji will naturally not be able to resist it, but there must be etiquette between monarchs and ministers. No, if that’s the case, let the Fei family serve your father with all their heart, and you can’t do it without drinking water. You can’t be as stupid as before in Chang’an this time, otherwise my mother would rather die. “
Speaking of this .
, Concubine Zhen cried again.
Xiao Ming had no choice but to say: “Mom, I just listen to you. After tomorrow, I will go to Fei’s house to visit. I just hope that Fiji will not deliberately make things difficult.”
Concubine Zhen suddenly laughed, “That’s pretty much it. , Don’t worry, this trip to Fei’s house is just a formality, Fiji will definitely not make things difficult for you.”
