Zhao Mengqi can naturally feel his sister's condition very clearly now. Seeing that she has returned home, but still looks helpless and timid, he can predict that she must have a very bad life at this home on weekdays. , which further strengthened Zhao Mengqi's idea of changing his sister's environment.
It wasn't until they entered the Huang family's courtyard that Zhao Jian relaxed and returned to the way a little girl should be. She held her brother's hand and started running, shouting happily, "Mother, mother, Jian has brought fourth brother back." …”
Different from the bustle in the palace at this time, Huang's courtyard seemed very deserted, and there were not many servants. Zhao Mengqi looked around and found that although the buildings were passable, they always felt out of place with the rest of the palace. It's like another world.
Hearing her daughter's voice, Mrs. Huang hurriedly ran out of the house, looking a little flustered and eager in her steps.
Seeing her mother, Zhao Jian let go of her brother and plunged into Huang's arms, "Mother, Jian missed you so much. How have you been, mom these days? Did you miss Jian? By the way, look at Jian Who did mother bring back, hee hee..."
Huang crouched and hugged her daughter tightly, but her eyes were always on Zhao Mengqi. She felt joy, warmth, but also a lot of confusion and embarrassment.
"Public woman Huang... pays homage to His Royal Highness Prince Zhong..." Huang choked with sobs and stumbled out these words to her own son.
Seeing Huang's strange yet familiar face, a strong emotion surged out of Zhao Mengqi's heart. His eyes were a little moist and he couldn't help himself, "Empress!"
"No!" Mrs. Huang's face turned pale with shock. She let go of her daughter, her hands and feet were extremely flustered, and she bent over and waved her hands, "Absolutely no, Your Highness must not mess up the etiquette... A daughter of the people... A daughter of the people does not dare to be called this... …”
As he said this, Mrs. Huang seemed to be about to prostrate and kowtow. Zhao Mengqi stepped forward and supported Mrs. Huang, "Mother, Silang is the meat that fell from your body. No matter how great the etiquette is, it can't change this fact. You are not me." Mother, who else could it be?"
At that moment, Huang's face suddenly merged with his mother in the previous life. Whether it was the memory left by the original owner or the original fact of this body, what Zhao Mengqi said at this moment was sincere. .
There was also a reason why Huang did not dare to let her son call her mother. Originally, she was the dowry maid of Prince Rong's first wife, Li. Although after Li's death, she gave birth to Zhao Mengqi by chance, but because of her birth, , can only be an ordinary concubine, and does not even have the lowest title of 'ruren' among foreign wives.
Even if Zhao Mengqi had not been adopted, he could only call Princess Qian his empress in Prince Rong's Mansion, and his biological mother, who had no title, was not even qualified to be called 'little empress'.
Now that Zhao Mengqi is the prince, according to etiquette, Queen Xie is his 'empress', and he should not call his biological mother his empress.
It took a lot of consolation from the brother and sister to get Huang to stop panicking, but they still gritted their teeth and persisted in insisting on the title issue. However, Zhao Mengqi had no choice but to take a step back and said, "Then it's okay for me to call you mother."
Huang hesitated again and again, "Well, that's not allowed when there are outsiders!"
"Okay, as long as you are happy." Zhao Mengqi could only do this, "You are not allowed to call me His Highness anymore."
Huang's son's affection made Mrs. Huang feel greatly relieved and she felt contented and happy that she had never experienced in her life. "Okay... okay, Silang, it's been almost ten years since I last saw you. My mother dreams about it every day." It’s great to see you, it’s great to see you today, and my mother can die with no regrets.”
"What are you talking about? What about death? My son will let you live a good life in the future. You must live a long life, otherwise neither Jian Niang nor I will agree!" Zhao Mengqi looked at it steadily. Huang's.
Huang stretched out her hands tremblingly, as if she wanted to touch her son, but she didn't dare. "I really see you again...it feels like a dream."
Zhao Mengqi took her hand and pressed it on his head and face, "Mother, my son is right in front of you. This is not a dream. Please touch your son well."
"Silang, Silang!" Mrs. Huang's face was filled with tears, and she touched her son's face with trembling hands, "Son, my mother misses you so hard..."
The excitement of mother and son meeting took a long time to calm down.
"Ms. Jian, you go play in the yard first. Mom wants to have a conversation with your fourth brother."
"Yeah." Zhao Han was as obedient as ever. Although she wanted to continue to stay with her mother and brother, she walked out obediently.
Huang Gou, who was guarding the door, saw her coming out and said, "Little lady, your things have been brought in. Go and see if there is anything wrong."
Thinking of his new pets, Zhao Han immediately put aside his disappointment, became happy, and went to play by himself.
…
The flower hall of the main residence of Prince Rong.
A servant was reporting, "Your Majesty, after His Royal Highness Prince Zhong came out from the old lady's place, he went directly to Madam Huang's place."
King Rong was helpless and sighed, "Let him go."
Concubine Qian secretly cursed in her heart, what a bullshit madam, a lowly maid who doesn’t even have a title, what qualifications does she have to be called madam! And that little bastard is so rude that he made me wait here for a long time without coming to see you. When the big thing is done, let's see how I deal with you!
"Since Prince Zhong is not here, I will go greet the other women first, lest others think that our Prince Rong's residence is not polite."
Making an excuse, Concubine Qian left the flower hall.
As soon as I walked out of the main house, I met Wei Guansun coming with a young man and woman on the road.
"Qian Duo pays homage to my aunt." The woman was only fourteen years old, but she had a peerless appearance. Her every frown and smile were more dazzling than the sun.
"Qian Long pays homage to my aunt." This guy is just a little fat ball, chubby and smiling, as if he wants to compete with the Maitreya Buddha in the temple for business.
"Guan Sun pays homage to my aunt." Wei Guan Sun also saluted, but his eyes seemed to be tied to Qian Duo and he never left her for a moment.
Concubine Qian looked surprised, "Why are you here? Didn't my brother send a message saying that he couldn't come?"
It turns out that these two people are the children of Concubine Qian's brother Qian Tao. "Aunt, my father is on official business and can't come, but how can my brother and I miss your birthday? Hehe, aunt, you are always so kind to us." , if we don’t even come to pay our birthdays, wouldn’t we become white-eyed wolves?”
"You girl are always so smart. No matter what, your siblings can come, but I received the best birthday gift today."
Concubine Qian really liked the two siblings and she smiled so much that she never closed her mouth.
After chatting for a long time, Concubine Qian found out that Wei Guansun had been paying attention to Qian Duo, which coincided with her plan, and she couldn't help but smile in her heart.
Wei Guansun will soon become her 'son'. If he succeeds in pushing him to the throne in the end, then naturally the daughter of the Qian family must be the queen.
"I have been waiting for Prince Zhong for too long in vain. There are still many things to deal with. Guan Sun, you take these two siblings to settle down. We can talk slowly after the birthday banquet begins." The servant just now said After passing the message, Concubine Yan sent someone, and Concubine Qian had to go see them first, so she handed the two siblings over to Wei Guansun.
"Brother Guan Sun, is there anything interesting in the house?"
Qian Duo's smile was like a flower, and the words "brother" made Wei Guansun intoxicated. Until Qian Long bumped into him, "Why are you so stunned? My sister asked you, how should we arrange it?"
Wei Guansun rolled his eyes. For the sake of his country and beauty, the most important thing now was to please Concubine Qian, so he had an idea, "Princess just now seemed to be unhappy because of my cousin Prince Zhong. Today is her birthday. This How can we do this? Why not, let’s go find Prince Zhong and give him some advice, wouldn’t it be great to relieve the princess from this worry?”
"I heard that the loyal king is stupid, can he listen to our advice?" Qian Long said hesitantly.
Wei Guansun waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, although my cousin is slow and stupid, we are about the same age. Maybe we can play together, and it will be easy to persuade him."
Qian Duo didn't like her mother-in-law, "Let's go see this stupid king!"
