Half a year after Yi Ying's mother and son stayed in Beijing, they couldn't help but feel homesick when they saw Ying Hao. It was this boy who begged for mercy and allowed Yinghao and his wife to return to Liaoyang Mansion first. In the end, after Yi Ying stayed for a year, it was what he finally said that made him let go. But the first thing this kid said after Yi Ying and his son left was that he would not regret it even if he let the tiger go back to the mountain, at least he would have to honor the love he had. ,
Of course, based on Huang Qiong's understanding of this son. Although what this kid said was righteous, it was actually bullshit. How could he inherit Yi Ying's mother and son's love for protecting him, and he would bring great wealth to Yi Ying, mother and son. But if he lets Yinghao go back to be the leader of the horse bandits, he will never let him go again. But he also knew clearly that those people were all desperadoes, and there was nothing in the world that he would not dare to do. Without the control of Yi Ying's mother and son, there might be big trouble. Especially now that the overall situation over there must not be messed up.
Only then did he choose to let Yi Ying and her son go back. Of course, as long as the actions of Yi Ying, mother and son are still under his control, including the horse bandits under the mother and son, they will not leave his sight. He will definitely be a brother and a brother. This guy is at least reasonable in this respect. What's more, Yi Ying and her son were left there to control those unruly horse bandits. There are many things that are inconvenient for the court to do, but he can use them to kill people with a borrowed knife. It is much better to keep these horse bandits in the hands of the court than to let them scatter and do evil.
With this son, no matter who, including his brothers. As long as it can bring benefits to the court, he will never give up on squeezing out every penny of profit. Those kids, don't do anything to cause trouble, he won't do it easily. Just like Fan Peng, if this kid hadn't been playing the emotional card and playing this and that, he wouldn't have handed over the craftsmanship of the cotton armor to the Ministry of Industry in the end. Since Fan Peng took over, the Fan family has not paid less than a penny in taxes, and this son has made the greatest contribution.
But I understand, but in the end Huang Qiong's desire to protect these children prevailed. Those children were all literati, neither wealthy businessmen nor powerful religious leaders, nor leaders of horse bandits who roamed the white mountains and black waters. They are all honest scholars, and perhaps they have inherited their own bloodline, so they are quite talented and knowledgeable. If he succeeds in becoming a Jinshi in the future, it will only be his help. Even the two sons of the He family were just two nobles with empty viscount titles.
Even if he gave the eldest son of the He family, his own son, a title of Marquis. The second legitimate son of the He family was awarded a viscount. But today's nobles have no soldiers, no power, and even no money, so they pose no threat to him at all. But if the opportunity to show off one's talents was lost due to some small precautions, then one would really feel sorry for one's sons. Therefore, in the end, for the sake of the children, Huang Qiong covered up the matter when faced with his son's questioning. In fact, even if he didn't say anything, Huang Ruifeng could guess a few.
At least Huang Ruifeng could vaguely guess the real life experiences of the second son of the Liu family and the two direct grandsons of the He family. The only thing he doesn't know is that the son of your lord's wife, who is now a Jinshi, is also the flesh and blood of his own emperor. As a filial son, although he was dissatisfied with himself as the emperor, he was merciful and spread rumors everywhere. But he didn't want to expose himself as the emperor too much. There are some things that you just have to know in your mind.
After leaving the Wende Palace, Huang Ruifeng looked at the sun in the sky and remembered what his father had told him. Finally, he sighed softly and turned around to leave the palace. After he left, Zhao Xiu, who had been staying in the palace for another three days this time, walked in quietly. When he saw Huang Qiong, he made a request to leave the palace. When Huang Qiong heard that Zhao Xiu wanted to leave the palace, Huang Qiong held him in his arms. He gently sniffed the woman's hair and said, "Sister Xiu, what's wrong? I'm rushing out of the palace after only three days. Is there something important?"
Hearing Huang Qiong's gentle tone and feeling the evil hands deep inside his clothes, Zhao Xiu just lay in Huang Qiong's arms and said nothing. In fact, she has nothing to do now. Both parents-in-law have passed away, and her husband is now the deputy envoy of Rehe Luli Fan. The daughter is already married, and there is only one son left in the family who studies hard and never has to worry about himself. But after all, it's not too good to live in the palace all the time. There are airtight walls in this world. The last time my husband was transferred back from Qianzhong Road, I already had suspicions.
If she continues to frequent the palace, her husband may become even more suspicious. Besides, I am already forty-three, and I already have gray hair on my head. Although it shows that he knows what the Lord likes. But Zhao Xiu still felt that at her age, she should not continue to have such an unclear relationship with him. But Zhao Xiu had already made up his mind before coming. But when he really faced Huang Qiong, there were some things he really couldn't say. But this time, the daughter also followed her into the palace in the name of visiting her aunt.
The daughter, who was still living in the royal concubine's palace, thought she had left the palace. What would her daughter think if she found that she had never returned home when she left the palace? If this matter really spreads out, how can I have the face to see others? But it's easy to think about things, but if it's time to speak out, facing Huang Qiong's tender eyes, Zhao Xiu can't help but hesitate to speak. Just seeing Zhao Xiu in a dilemma, Huang Qiong couldn't help but think of something. But he shook his head and said: "Sister Xiu, there is nothing to worry about."
"I am there for everything. Sister Xiu does not have to face any difficulties. Even if the sky falls, I am still there to support Sister Xiu. Not only is the child still in Xuemei's palace now? Don't say whether she will come or not. I came to this Wende Hall and saw me and Sister Xiu together, so what? As long as I am here, no one in this world dares to touch a hair of Sister Xiu. I have been with you for a few days and have not been with each other. Sister Xiu is gentle. Is it possible that Sister Xiu is willing to stay with me for just three days before leaving my side. I haven’t cared about this body enough."
When Zhao Xiu finished speaking, before Zhao Xiu could say anything, Huang Qiong stripped him down to only one piece of clothing. Even though this scene had happened countless times in this palace, Huang Qiong's actions still made Zhao Xiu blush. Just when Huang Qiong was ready to take a step further. A report from the eunuch came from outside the palace, saying that Zhao Xiu's daughter was outside asking to see His Majesty. Zhao Xiu couldn't help but panic when he heard the report outside. He hurriedly got off Huang Qiong's body, hurriedly picked up the clothes on the floor, and ran to the back hall.
However, Huang Qiong, who had just shouted "Xuan", grabbed his hand and pointed at the underside of the imperial case. At this time, he heard the sound of the door opening from the palace door. Zhao Xiu, who was so anxious, couldn't care less about what Huang Qiong had in mind when he did this. He hurriedly opened the enclosure of the imperial court and hid inside. Just as Zhao Xiu hid under the imperial case, a woman's voice came from the palace: "My lord, the daughter of Wang Youdao, the deputy envoy of the Rehe vassal, bows to His Majesty the Emperor. I came here this time to ask His Majesty, is Your Majesty okay?" I once met my daughter’s mother.”
Zhao Xiu, who was under the imperial desk, couldn't help but froze when he heard his daughter's voice. I immediately understood that my daughter might know something. And just when he guessed that he might have been exposed, he was about to exclaim. The mouth was also tightly blocked. Huang Qiong, who was sitting behind the imperial case, calmly raised his hand in response to the question from the woman in front of him: "Since she is Xuemei's niece, we are a family. Now that we are here, there is no need to be too upset. You see, get up."
After hearing Huang Qiong's instructions, the woman opposite stood up. When he saw this woman, Huang Qiong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. This woman is so similar to Zhao Xiu, both in appearance and figure. Even because she had just given birth to a child, her fertility was even greater than that of Zhao Xiu. Looking at the young woman in front of him, Huang Qiong couldn't help but feel amazing. But the woman couldn't help but feel dizzy at the unblinking look in the eyes of the king of the country in front of her, and lowered her head in shame.
Fortunately, Zhao Xiu had been feeling uneasy since the woman came in. He was extremely keen to notice that something was wrong with the sudden silence in the palace. The slight pain caused by closing his teeth made Huang Qiong wake up from the shock. As for why Zhao Xiu is so keen, it is because she has learned about the preferences of the master in front of her over the years. He even knew that his daughter's appearance and figure were just right for the Lord. She didn't want the incident between Zhang Qiaoer and Liu Rui to happen to her.
Huang Qiong, who reacted from the shock, looked at the young woman in front of him and reluctantly restrained his original eyes, keeping only a faint smile on his face: "How could you think that your mother is here with me? Maybe, she You've returned home a long time ago, haven't you? After all, your mother and I are not familiar with each other, right? What's more, the Wende Palace is where I always live, and not just anyone can come. Your mother is just an ordinary official, how could you do this? Here with me. You are thinking too much. If you want to find your mother, you should go back to your parents' home to look for her, right?"
In response to Huang Qiong's answer, she looked up. As soon as she entered the hall, she saw on Huang Qiong's imperial desk the hairpin she was very familiar with and an embroidered shoe under the pillar on the left side of the hall. , and then said after sighing: "Your Majesty is the most promising king in the dynasty, and he is not that kind of ignorant king. Although I don't know, when did my mother and your Majesty have contact. I don't want to have any more contact with you. On this matter, I am too entangled or want to comment. After all, what parents do is not what children should evaluate."
"But my mother has not returned to the palace for three days since she left the harem. I beg your majesty, it is better to send my mother back home. Your Majesty is the king of a country. What kind of beautiful women are not in the harem? My mother is already old. Over forty years old, she is already old and waning. Besides, I have a family and children. I really shouldn’t continue to maintain that kind of unclear relationship with His Majesty. Not only is it against the principles of a monarch and his ministers, but it is also It violates the virtues of women. My daughter, I beg you, Your Majesty. Please remember that God has the virtue of a good life, and let my mother and family go."
Having said this, the woman turned her gaze to the lonely embroidered shoe under the pillar. When Huang Qiong followed the woman's gaze and saw the shoe, he couldn't help but blush, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. Seeing that the matter had been exposed, Huang Qiong simply stopped covering it up. He stood up and walked to the woman, stretched out his hand to lift her jade-like chin, and said with a faint smile: "Since I can't hide it from you, I have nothing to hide. Indeed, Sister Xiu is here, and she has always been with me. Together."
"Just now, the two of us were still together, and in the past few years, Sister Xiu came to serve me every time she came to the palace. If it weren't for you two siblings, do you think I would let my beloved woman go? Just staying outside the palace for so many years? Have you ever heard that the emperor's woman can be touched by others? In this matter, I am indeed a little sorry for your Wang family. But these years, I should give you the Wang family Yes, I have already given everything I could to the Wang family."
