Huang Qiong could only smile bitterly after hearing her mother's words. And looking at his son's face, he looked helpless and distressed. The mother hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Maybe this is a good thing for this child. Her fate has been doomed since she was born. If she has a colder relationship with her parents, she will not be as concerned about me as I am in the future. If it’s too much, it won’t make you sad.”
Huang Qiong was shocked by her mother's words. I opened my mouth to ask my mother, why did she say that? Huang Qiong knew that her mother would never lie. She said that this child's fate is destined, then this child's fate is destined. It's just what the mother said, what kind of fate is it. But it reminded Huang Qiong that her mother had never mentioned her mysterious sect.
But when Huang Qiong wanted to ask her mother, she found that her mother turned her head and didn't know what she was thinking. After a long time, he said: "I know what you are thinking. But don't ask what the fate of this child is, and I won't tell you if you ask. Although you are the king of a country, there are many things in this world that you can't control. As for the origin of the teacher's sect, , I still said that even if you are curious, I will not tell you."
"This is good for you and the teacher. Although you have learned a lot of kung fu from me, you have never walked in the world. This world is not as simple as you think. In the world, there are not just a few so-called There are not just a few famous and decent sects in the world. There are many invisible sects in the world that rarely walk around. And these sects are the real danger."
"You just need to know that all the skills I have are all cultivated in my years in the sect. In the sect, there are more than ten people with my skills and knowledge. To this Although the influence of the general trend of the world is not visible on the surface, it is actually very profound. Before Shimen, not to mention the Fan family, which is now more like a business family, was far behind Shimen. "
"The so-called Yuan family that controls the Jiangbei Daomen is actually nothing in the eyes of the master. Back then, even a person as powerful as your grandfather had to hand over my young self to the master. In order to gain the master, for me, There will no longer be any interference in what he does. Because once the master thinks that what he does will affect the general trend of the world, and interferes, he may not really have the ability to resist,"
At this point, the mother sighed and said softly: "Maybe this is all fate. I broke my oath and left the master for your father. But I never thought that the promise I made to the master back then would This oath was finally made to my own granddaughter. This happened because of me, as a mother, I feel sorry for you and her mother, but I can't change this."
"However, I have always been a little unsure about this child's numerology. Although I am not proficient in the divination skills of the master, I have a little experience. I have calculated this child's fate more than once. But. But I have never been able to see through it, and I have never been able to deduce her fate. Even though your uncle has always been the best in the art of divination, he can only infer part of it."
After her mother finished speaking, Huang Qiong was stunned, and even couldn't believe her ears. He didn't expect that there were not only so many twists and turns, but his mother was also involved. Moreover, it was extremely rare for my mother to actually apologize to herself. You know, mother has almost always been a god-like existence in Huang Qiong's heart, and she has always looked like an iceberg.
This is also the main reason why Huang Qiong has always been afraid of her mother like a tiger these years. Today, it was rare for his mother to apologize to him, but Huang Qiong was stunned and even a little scared. After coming to his senses, even though he didn't quite believe in his mother's fate, he remembered his ability as a mother. Look at the trace of guilt on his mother's face when she looks at him.
Huang Qiong hurriedly waved her hands and said: "Since it is the child's life, the son has nothing to say. Life is given by God and cannot be changed by human beings. What does it have to do with the mother? Mothers must not give up because of their heart. What guilt. The son just hopes that the child can live a safe life in the future. Even if it is only occasionally, let the son and her mother know that she is living a good life. "
But after hearing Huang Qiong's words, her mother said nothing. He just looked into the distance quietly, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart. After a long time, he said softly: "When you came here this time, you must have figured out the matter and no longer wanted to fight with your father. We are gone, and there is no need to worry about many things so much. Compared with me, she actually He is the most pitiful person."
"Has anyone ever asked her in her life, is she living a happy life? Was she willing to marry into this heavenly family in the first place? I can control my own destiny, but she can only go with the flow and let her fate dictate. You I know that my father has shown respect, respect and pity for her in this life, but the only thing he has not had is love. He gave birth to four sons in just a few years, but now only one is left in captivity."
"It has been several years since his death, but he still has not been able to rest in peace. He seemed to be the mother of the world during his lifetime, but how many people know the bitterness of it? After his death, not only was his son unable to live in peace, but also Now even being buried has become a luxury. Even if there are some unspeakable causes and effects, she should not have reached such a desolate situation. "
"I know that your father has been running the country for twenty years, and he has worked hard to govern it. However, due to limited qualifications, most of the people he chose were inhumane. As a result, before you took over, the country's power was already declining, leading to a lack of national power now. You I want to concentrate all my energy on countering the rebellion in Jiangnan. But even if my financial resources are difficult, I still don’t need this little money. If you really don’t want to, I will pay for it.”
"But I hope that my son will be an emperor who is broad-minded and can tolerate anyone. Rather than a narrow-minded person who must retaliate for everything. As an emperor, you must have the capacity to be a king. Your father is the second king. For more than ten years, even if he has failed as an emperor, he is still quite open-minded. At least in terms of tolerance, he is worthy of his status as an emperor in those years."
"No matter what happened back then, who was right and who was wrong, but the person is no longer here. You can't even tolerate a person who has passed away. How can the people in this world expect you to tolerate them? The way to be a king is first and foremost Let’s see if you can tolerate different opinions. What’s more, who can tell what was right or wrong back then? You are already the current emperor, so why should you hold on to certain things? "
Huang Qiong was somewhat embarrassed by her mother's words. Only then did Huang Qiong realize that when she had an argument with the old man before, although her mother had never intervened, she knew everything. Moreover, he was quite clear about his refusal to bury Queen Daxing. Facing her mother's criticism, compared to when she quarreled with the old man, she didn't dare to say a word at this time.
Seeing the shame on Huang Qiong's face, her mother said nothing more. He just said: "Do what you should do, and don't always think too much. I know that you are much better than your father in handling government affairs and selecting and employing people. But in terms of mind and tolerance, compared with him It's still a bit worse. Although I can't ask you to have the magnanimity of your father, as an emperor, you can't be too narrow in magnanimity."
At this point, the mother turned around and glanced at Huang Qiong, but said: "I can see that he is quite relieved that he has handed over this country to you. But only when it comes to women, he has always been They are all worried. I am also worried that this weakness will also become your most fatal problem. Whoever takes a fancy to you and pulls you away, do you really think that you can keep the things about you airtight? "
"Most of your father's concubines had to be included in the palace in order to stabilize the government. I believe that with the methods I taught my son, this method will not be used to stabilize the world. Neither am I The kind of person who pays attention to family background, as long as she comes from a good family, not the kind of person who brings trouble to the harem. If you really like it, how can I, as a mother, really interfere?"
"But look at the women around you. Although they are all women from good families, their relationships have become messy. It doesn't matter to sisters. There have been many things like Ehuang Nvying in ancient times. But look at yours What is the relationship between those women? Let’s not talk about the two daughters of the Liu family. What is the relationship between the Hu family’s women? Do you want me to explain clearly? There are also the three hidden by the He family. "
"Also, I don't believe you can't see the relationship between Mr. Cai and Situ Huanshuang? Thanks to Shuang'er, a person with such a stubborn temper, he can endure it without talking about it. Even in front of me, he is still trying his best To support you. How do you want her to get along with the child born to Cai in the future? Have you really put yourself in their shoes in your heart? "
"Looking at your current behavior, saying that you are absurd and unruly is just to excuse you. I also know that the emperor is also a human being, and he will have his own problems. After all, no one is perfect. But this problem of yours , let alone the history books, even if it spreads to the people, it is enough to be written as an unofficial history. Go back, and think carefully about what I say today."
And because the woman had been reprimanded, Huang Qiong did not dare to say anything. He just touched his nose, went back and looked at his daughter again, and left Yongfu Palace in despair. When returning to the palace, Huang Qiong did not take the passage connecting the two palaces, but chose to go back to the palace from outside the palace. I don’t know why, but every time Huang Qiong comes to Yongfu Palace, he never walks through the wall between the two palaces.
Instead, he prefers to take a detour outside the palace to return. But when he returned to the palace, Huang Qiong was in a very bad mood. Behind him were Qingzi Erluo, who was disguised as a woman and dressed as a bodyguard, and the fifth lady of the Nangong family. Seeing Huang Qiong's face was a little downcast, they didn't dare to ask anything. Even when he saw that Huang Qiong did not return to the palace immediately, but turned around and walked towards the outside of the imperial city, he did not dare to step forward to stop him.
In fact, Huang Qiong chose to take a detour outside the palace this time because he was scolded by his parents and his mother's words made him a little confused. Therefore, I didn't want to return to the palace so quickly, but chose to take a detour outside the imperial city in order to relax and straighten out my thoughts on certain things. He even didn't even stay in the imperial city, but walked directly to the inner city.
When Emperor Sejong was building Yongfu Palace, for the sake of his own safety, he naturally would not choose to take a detour to the inner city. Therefore, a sandwich wall of several miles was built between the two palaces. In order to facilitate himself and the people in the palace, he traveled between the two palaces. When the old man moved to Yongfu Palace, Huang Qiong always walked through the wall when going to the province, and walked through the inner city through the imperial city when coming back.
In addition to clearing his mind, he also had the intention of relaxing his tense heart in the palace. Maybe he had been locked up in the palace for a long time. Every time he walked out of the palace, Huang Qiong felt relieved that he was away from government affairs. But now, due to several assassinations, the ladies in the palace are under strict supervision, so he can only take advantage of the opportunity to come to Yongfu Palace to relax.
