"Xiao Yao has been taking care of your life since childhood, so I feel more at ease if she goes with you. Besides, Xiao Yao has been by my side since she followed me into the palace, especially in the past ten years. She has never left Ting Xuexuan. It’s time for her to have her own life, and I can’t delay her any longer.”
"Okay, since I have decided on this matter and it is my consideration, you should stop arguing. You can rest first and stop doing your homework for the past two days." Mother said this. Although the tone was still the same cold. But between the words, a mother's love that has never been expressed publicly was rarely revealed.
Her mother's words made Huang Qiong feel warm in her heart. Despite all these years, he also knew that this mother had always cared about him. Although most of the time, my mother is more like a strict teacher. But Huang Qiong knew that this was just because she couldn't express herself, or was not good at expressing herself. In her heart, she cares for herself no less than any other mother.
It has been thirteen years since I returned to this era. These thirteen years of mutual support have made Huang Qiong regard this mother as his biological mother. Huang Qiong served his parents with utmost filial piety in his later generations. During the past thirteen years, he has placed all his thoughts on his parents on this mother.
Although I don’t know why I came back from the dead and came to this strange era. But after all, he has now occupied the magpie's nest and the son's body. In Huang Qiong's subconscious mind, she believed that since she had taken over someone else's son's body, she should take good care of her parents in place of the person whose body she had taken over.
As for my father in this life, as the supreme ruler of a huge empire, surrounded by a large group of eunuchs, maids, and nearly twenty brothers and sisters, he naturally did not need to be deliberately filial. Only the miserable woman in front of him is the one he should respect.
What's more, to him, this mother is not only a mother, but also his teacher. Huang Qiong admired this mother's talent even more, and even regarded her as an idol sometimes. Even though he has been a human being for two lifetimes, Huang Qiong has never come into contact with such a versatile and intelligent woman.
Huang Qiong even thought more than once that if this mother were placed in the previous life, she would definitely be an out-and-out strong woman. It's just a pity that some of them were born at the wrong time. Throughout China's thousands of years of history, there is only one Wu Zetian. Even in the former Tang Dynasty, when the atmosphere was the most open, most women, no matter how talented they were, could only stay at home to support their husbands and raise children.
Raising her head, Huang Qiong looked at her mother and said with a smile: "My son is not tired yet. My son will leave the palace soon. He will not be able to stay with his mother for a long time in the future. My son wants to spend more time with his mother these days." Even though he was very tired before. She looked forward to living outside the palace, but when it was time to leave, Huang Qiong was really reluctant to leave here.
Seeing the trace of dependence on her son's face when he looked at her, even though he had a cold personality, the mother felt warm in her heart: "Okay, you can play chess with me today. We haven't played chess for a long time, so it's just right Let me see if your chess skills have deteriorated."
Upon hearing this, Huang Qiong quickly took the chessboard and chess pieces and played Go with her mother. In the past few days before leaving the palace, Huang Qiong did nothing. I just spend time with my mother quietly, or play chess with my mother, or just quietly accompany my mother while she is writing or drawing.
Although my mother usually acted as if nothing had happened when it came to Huang Qiong leaving the palace. But Huang Qiong knew that her mother's heart was far from being as plain as she appeared on the surface. On the last night before leaving the palace, when he woke up from a dream in the middle of the night, he found that his mother was in front of his bed. She did not wake him up, but just sat there and looked at him quietly.
I found that my mother, who was always alert but now in a state of absent-mindedness, did not notice that she had woken up this time. Huang Qiong hurriedly closed her eyes and pretended to continue to sleep soundly. Huang Qiong, who dared to open her eyes only after her mother left in the early morning, inadvertently touched a piece of the quilt beside the bed that was wet with tears.
Touching the quilt that was wet with tears, Huang Qiong couldn't help but sigh for a long time. At this moment, Huang Qiong knew how much weight his unpopular son held in his mother's heart. My mother is not born cold, she is also an emotional person, and she loves herself no less than any other mother.
Time is a strange thing. When you want it to go faster, it often runs extremely slowly. When you want it to go slower, you will feel that it is running fast. Three days is really not a long time. No matter Huang Qiong hopes that these three days will last longer, what should come will eventually come.
In the thirteenth year after Huang Qiong returned to this era, that is, on the morning of the fourth day since his last meeting with the Holy Spirit, Eunuch Gao came to Tingxue again with more than a dozen eunuchs. Xuan. In addition to announcing to Huang Qiong's mother and son that the Jin Dynasty had conferred Huang Qiong as the Prince of Hejian County and rewarded Prince Teng's Mansion as his Prince's Mansion of Hejian County, another thing he did was to help Huang Qiong move.
In fact, Huang Qiong's luggage was very limited. Except for a few pieces of clothing, most of them were books. There was really nothing to take care of. As for these books, Huang Qiong's Aunt Yao had already sorted and packed them according to his reading habit. Those eunuchs were pretending to be busy, just to avoid Huang Qiong's mother and son, and to avoid Huang Qiong's mother and son's questioning.
Obviously, after Huang Qiong met his father of this era for the first time, the story of their mother and son had spread throughout the palace. Most of these eunuchs knew something about it. I knew that this Ninth Prince, who I had never heard of before, and the mother of the newly crowned Hejian County Prince, had offended the Crown Prince and her son very deeply in the early years.
Moreover, these eunuchs not only knew about this matter, but also knew that the current man in the East Palace was not open-minded. It didn't matter that he had offended the newly promoted prince. Anyway, judging from his legendary life experience, it was impossible for him to become a prince, let alone an emperor. I will go to the feudal territory in three years at most, and there will be little time to return to the capital.
But if he offends the prince who is already the crown prince of a country and is basically destined to become the next emperor, then he will die without knowing how. You know, the prince crushing little people like them to death is as simple as crushing an ant to death. For the sake of your own life, it's better to be careful.
As the saying goes, too many words lead to mistakes. If you say something wrong and it reaches the ears of the prince, you will be the unlucky one. Who knows how many of these companions around him are the prince's informants? Once before, after a county prince was granted the title of prince, before leaving the palace, the prince's mother only asked a few more questions, only two of which related to the prince.
The eunuch who was in trouble was beaten to death with a cane that night using an excuse that was not an excuse. It is said that the order was given by the prince himself. With such a lesson learned from the past, how dare these eunuchs make the same mistakes again? So everyone pretended to be very busy to avoid questioning Huang Qiong's mother and son.
In fact, these eunuchs think too much. Whether they are really busy or pretending to be busy, in their eyes, the mother and son have offended the prince to the end and have no future at all. No one cares about them at all. From beginning to end, no one asked them even a word.
Seeing Eunuch Gao commanding the eunuchs to move all his luggage out, Huang Qiong turned to her mother and kowtowed three times respectfully. With tears in her eyes, she said, "Mother, my son will leave the palace right now." From now on, my son will not be able to stay with you all the time. I hope you will take good care of your health."
Facing her son who could be said to be fully grown up, standing much taller than herself, and looking very sad because of the impending separation, Huang Qiong's mother was deeply moved, no matter how cool-tempered she was. It was just the cold personality she had cultivated over the years that caused the emotion in her eyes to flash only briefly.
After lifting up Huang Qiong who was kneeling on the ground with her own hands, her mother gently took Huang Qiong's hand and said, "You are older and have your own ideas. Today, as a mother, I have the last word for you: The shape of the vessel is not preserved, but the sea is open to all kinds of things. Tolerance is helpful, and tolerance is great. As a person, you must be open-minded and open to all rivers."
"You should think more about everything outside, think twice before acting, and never act rashly. When you encounter something, discuss it with your Aunt Yao more often. Don't worry about me in your heart. Isn't there a monthly schedule before you become a vassal? Do you want to save time? By then our mother and son will still see each other, so why do you have to be so sad?"
Patting Huang Qiong's hand, her mother turned to Chen Yao, who had been by Huang Qiong's side, and said, "Xiao Yao, from today on, Qiong'er will be handed over to you. It's not so much that I've been taking care of him these years. You are more appropriate. You know this child's character better than I do. From now on, you must supervise and supervise him more, and think twice before doing anything."
After giving her final confession to Chen Yao, her mother turned her attention to the calligraphy and paintings on the wall and never looked back at Huang Qiong behind her.
Looking at her mother's back, her ears once again heard the words of Eunuch Gao who had been standing there quietly since he came to Tingxue Xuan after announcing the imperial edict, constantly urging him to go to the emperor to express his gratitude. Huang Qiong gritted her teeth and said to her mother who was no longer looking at her: "Mom, take care, my son has left the palace."
But when Huang Qiong walked out of the room, she stopped again, tears streaming down her face. Just as Huang Qiong knelt down and kowtowed heavily to her mother through the door, a long sigh came from her mother in the room: "Qiong'er, promise mother, no matter what happens, you will do well." to survive.”
Hearing her mother's sigh that contained too much emotion and reluctance, Huang Qiong stood up and faced the closed door of her former residence. Although her voice was still a little sad, she said firmly: "Please rest assured, mother." , My son will definitely live a good life." After that, he turned around and strode away without looking back.
After leaving Ting Xuexuan, he watched indifferently as Eunuch Gao arranged for someone to send his poor luggage back to his new home. According to the so-called customization, Huang Qiong followed him to the Wende Hall again, preparing to thank his emperor, Huang Qiong. But he didn't expect that as soon as he entered Wende Hall, he would see the prince waiting here.
Seeing the prince standing solemnly beside the emperor, with a somewhat impatient expression on his face after seeing him, Huang Qiong knew that he might have been waiting here for a while. When Huang Qiong saw the emperor and the prince, he didn't say anything. He just kowtowed in accordance with the rules: "My son has met his father and the prince."
