Although I still couldn't figure out why the mother was angry when she saw the two daughters. But Huang Qiong, who was far more afraid of this mother than he was of his own emperor, felt the anger in his mother's heart and did not dare to make any move. He just walked carefully to He Yao, signaled her to be quiet, then took her little hand and stood there honestly.
Before my mother spoke, I didn't even dare to sit down, or even make a sound. But except for the first glance, her mother, who never looked at Huang Qiong again, seemed to be focused on the chessboard in front of her. Apart from the chess game in front of him, there was no one else around him.
The game of chess between mother and Duan Jin lasted for more than half an hour before Duan Jin lost. When Duan Jin put down the chess pieces in his hands and voluntarily admitted defeat, his mother threw the chess pieces on the chessboard, then stood up and said to Duan Jin, "You are already confused. There is no point in playing this game anymore."
"I never expected that when I was fourteen years old, I relied on my expert swordsmanship to dare to challenge me with the Snake Girl Sword on the bank of the Yuan River. Twenty years later, my ability to cultivate Qi has actually declined. Now. My mood is even worse than that of that fourteen-year-old girl back then. But your chess skills have not insulted your Duan family."
Duan Jin, who was standing opposite his mother, wanted to say something when he heard his mother's unknown words. After turning his head to look at Huang Qiong, he swallowed the words that came to his lips. After waiting for a long time, he smiled bitterly and said: "When you meet the person you should meet, your heart will naturally become confused. I never thought that the mother of the man in my heart would actually be you."
"I never expected that after disappearing from the world for more than twenty years, the famous Yi Xiao Yijian was once considered extremely arrogant and had never looked down upon any man in the world. The world thought that he would The Ice Rakshasa, who had been lonely all his life, and whose destination might only be the Ancient Buddha of the Green Lantern, unexpectedly entered the palace. Not only did he give birth to a son for the emperor, but he also became my mother-in-law."
Hearing the conversation between his mother and Duan Jin, Huang Qiongcai was shocked to find that the two were old acquaintances and had even had some experiences. And from the conversation between the two people, it is estimated that the experience between the two people that year was probably not too pleasant. Thinking about this, Huang Qiong couldn't help crying and laughing in her heart.
I had just settled the old man, but I didn't expect that there was a mother who was even more difficult to settle. You know, my mother is not as easy to fool as my emperor. If she disagrees, I'm afraid there's really no way she can explain it to her mother. But what exactly was the unpleasant experience that the two of them had that year aroused Huang Qiong's great curiosity?
Before Huang Qiong could think deeply, the mother over there didn't know what Duan Jin's words meant, but she said very calmly: "The world is like this, who can really understand some things. Back then, On the bank of the Yuan River, when I let you go because you were still young, I never thought that you and I would be where we are today."
Regarding the battle in Yuanjiang mentioned by Huang Qiong's mother, Duan Jin smiled bitterly and said: "If I tell you now, I sneaked out of the palace and wanted to go out to practice. I just met the swordsmen of Ailao Mountain on the way, because they were from the same family of Tiannan Wulin. It was only through the pulse. And I myself, at least at that time, knew nothing about that type of teaching. Would you believe it?"
"You are a master of martial arts in this world and one of the three famous masters in the world. You should also know that the connection between the Duan family in Dali and Ailao Mountain is very deep. If something happens in Ailao Mountain, as long as the Duan family encounters it, they will definitely There is no reason to ignore it. This is the ancestral precept left by the founding emperor of Dali Kingdom. As a descendant of future generations, I have no ability to resist."
When Duan Jin explained what happened back then, his mother still said calmly: "If you don't know, besides, although you are still young, you are extremely talented in martial arts. From your hands, the upright Duan family's swordsmanship, I recognized you as a member of the Duan family. In that battle, do you think I would be merciful and let you go in the end?"
"Although the Duan family is said to be king in the south and everyone in the world, I have never been afraid. Not to mention you, you are your father and brother back then, and who was not my defeated general? Your brother, it has been almost thirty years since we parted. . Although he was the crown prince of Dali Kingdom back then, he had no intention of being emperor. He often hung out in Daqi, and he and I were considered friends. But now, we are already separated from each other. "
At this point, the mother did not continue the topic, but sighed slightly: "I naturally know the character of my own son. Since he can bring you to me, it means that he approves Yours. As a mother, even if she is not satisfied with the marriage, she will not interfere with her son's choice."
"From now on, I just hope that you can stay by his side with peace of mind and not have any contact with Ailaoshan. Although the Ailaoshan family is also orthodox in martial arts, they are too focused on pursuing skills. Back then, they could secretly support As your Duan family ascends to power, you may not let go of your ambitions under the current situation of declining power. Continuing to interact with them will only do you a lot of harm and no good. "
After listening to his mother's words, Duan Jin smiled bitterly and said: "Since my father and brother died one after another, I have hid in Ailao Mountain to avoid disaster. Because I can only live in Ailao Mountain with my emperor's nephew and the emperor." The family didn’t dare to force me too much. But Ailaoshan used my identity as a memorial tablet and tried every means to expand its own strength in order to compete with other sects.”
"My relationship with Ailaoshan is nothing more than that. To be honest, it is just mutual use. I have no intention of going back after I come out this time. Besides, Ailaoshan has painstakingly cultivated a new generation of elite disciples. They were all killed by the arrows of the Xiaoqi camp. It can be said that after that time, he and the Ailaoshan family have become mortal enemies."
"Since Jin is now his, it is natural to stand on his side. From now on, the Ailaoshan family can only have an enemy rather than a friend relationship with Jin. Whether it is the eldest princess of Dali or the Snake Girl Sword, For me now, it is all a thing of the past. Ever since my brother passed away, I no longer have any nostalgia for Dali Country."
After Duan Jin's explanation, his mother nodded slightly. Instead of picking up the bracelet sent by the emperor, he took off a pair of fine mutton-fat jade bracelets from his wrist. Picked up one of them and put it on Duan Jin personally. Then he called He Yao to his side and brought the other one to He Yao with his own hands.
After putting the bracelets on the two girls with his own hands, he took He Yao's pulse and said lightly to He Yao: "The fetus is very good. You don't need to worry about it, and you don't need to take supplements deliberately. As long as you don't be overjoyed or overjoyed, that's all. I You can come here at any time in the future. However, you only need to know my identity, and don’t tell others about it."
After giving instructions to the two daughters, the mother asked Jing Niang to take them to rest first. Then he turned around and looked at Huang Qiong coldly. When Huang Qiong was frightened by the sight, he said calmly: "What did I tell you before leaving the palace? Is this what you should do? You are young Qing, you are so greedy for beauty and don’t know how to restrain yourself?”
"My trip to Zhengzhou lasted only a few months, and I already took in more than ten beautiful concubines. If you were allowed to stay for two more years, why wouldn't you drag a group of them back with you? Could it be that the women in the world would allow you to ruin them like this? You were famous in the world back then. You can keep the Snake Girl Sword by your side, what else do you dare not do? You are simply insane."
Hearing the displeasure in his mother's words, Huang Qiong quickly knelt down and said, "My son never dared to forget his mother's instructions when he left the palace. It's just that these women have certain reasons for meeting their sons and staying with him." .The son did not force any of them, and the son took them in to save them."
At this point, Huang Qiong told his mother the identities of these women and how he met them. It's just that he didn't dare to tell the truth about some of the things. For example, when I got He Yao, it was almost forced. Yi Ying's four subordinates were also semi-forced. He knew that if he told the truth, he would probably have to kneel down again.
But before Huang Qiong could finish explaining, her mother's sharp eyes that seemed to see through everything swept over her. I could only see Huang Qiong trembling in her heart, and then said: "Whether what you said is true or false, now that the hearts of these women are already on you, I don't want to pursue anything further. I don’t want to interfere too much.”
"Although you are my son, I don't know now whether your lustful temper is innate or whether you have been affected by it after leaving the palace. Anyway, you are a person with ideas when you urinate. Now you are older. , there are some things that I, as a mother, cannot control too much. From now on, you have to decide for yourself what to do."
After listening to her mother's words, Huang Qiong fell silent and did not speak. It was a long time before he came, and when he left Wende Palace, the emperor's words were spoken to his mother. I originally thought that there would be some changes in my mother's expression at least. But to Huang Qiong's dismay, apart from frowning slightly, her mother still showed no signs of movement.
However, after Huang Qiong said that after hearing the emperor's words, she felt a little confused and even at a loss. The mother sighed slightly: "For you, I have been hiding for eighteen years, letting those children fight for themselves. Because I know that as long as I stay in the capital, as long as you are his son, no matter what you want If you don’t want to, you will get mixed up.”
"And this battle for the throne has always been bloody and cruel. Those children are not good scumbags. As long as you get involved, one of them may be in danger of being shattered to pieces. Although you are smart, after all, you have experienced It’s still not enough. In the face of traps everywhere, you may not really be able to grasp yourself.”
"I would rather that when you reach your age, you go away to join the feudal clan, and you and I never see each other again. But I never thought that you would still be involved. Now the four sons are dead and sleepy. Even though If you don't want to kill him, but after so many things happened, he doesn't dare to trust you anymore, so he sets his sights on you, who is still on the right path.
"I'm afraid he has already made up his mind about this since the moment you went to Zhengzhou. As for whether you have the ability to do this well, I still believe it. But you have to think carefully. Once you get into that position, We are not facing one or a few people. We are not facing tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people in one state or county."
"What you have to face are the hundreds of millions of people under your rule. This is not something that can be done with ability, but more requires careful management. I am very happy that you did not become ecstatic because of this news. I'm very happy. This shows that you have put a lot of effort into the word calmness. Just relying on the word calmness cannot secure your position. During this period of time before the year, read the Spring and Autumn Period and the history books."
"When it comes to beauty, you must be restrained and never indulge in such indulgence. I can't care much about other things now. You go and cook. Let them have a meal together and then go back. Shou. Yang, I also miss the pot-roasted pork you made. As for that child, next time you come to the palace, bring it over and show it to me."
