Chapter 26 Your Mother
I tried to calm myself down, but the alarm sounded in my heart, the hair on the surface of my skin suddenly rose, and a high wall of alert had been built in the bottom of my heart. The fingertips hidden in the wide-sleeved robe trembled uncontrollably. For a long time, the empress dowager said slowly, "For your girl, I don't like it."
I was stunned and then fell silent. It was a warning just now, and now it comes to Shen Weijun. What on earth is the Empress Dowager going to say to me? I turned away and had a little sadness in my heart. I said, "No matter what decision the prince makes, my granddaughter-in-law supports it." The Empress Dowager didn't say anything, and her sharp eyes were taken back.
She said, "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer for nothing." I nodded with tears. The Empress Dowager touched my head and sighed, "The persistence in Junyou's child's heart is just like the previous emperor. Didn't I come here?" The Empress Dowager seemed to remember the past, and a trace of self-deprecating flashed in her eyes.
I was suddenly shocked and suddenly remembered that the previous emperor was also as persistent as Jun Yu. What did the Empress Dowager do in those years? Will she like Junyu as much as I do?
The Empress Dowager continued: "Whether it is the emperor or the prince, they are not only carrying a family, but also a larger country, which is thousands of families. Therefore, they must marry more concubines than ordinary people, so you don't have to think too much about your affairs. That child is so reckless and sad that she can't be more arrogant. You can relax.
Did the Empress Dowager comfort me because yesterday's bridal chamber candle did not succeed? I felt warm and nodded and said, "I'm young and ignorant, and I'm too busy with many things in the house. Sister Shen is more proficient in reading poems and books and five classics. I didn't know anyone when I first came to Yue. It's good for many people to talk when the prince is away. Sun's daughter-in-law didn't feel wronged.
The Empress Dowager smiled happily and patted my hand and said, "What a sensible child, which makes the mourning family feel painful. Go and see Junyou's mother. With that, she called Mother Fang to take me out.
I saluted and retreated. After leaving the Cining Palace, I stuffed a piece of silver for Mother Fang. After her hard work, I was guided by the palace people to Yunjin Hall, the virtuous concubine of Junyao's mother. Yunjin Hall is located on the right side of the Queen's Fengling Palace. I heard that the virtuous concubine is beautiful and kind, which is very popular with the emperor.
When I arrived at the Yunjin Hall, a group of people came out of the hall. I was shocked and quickly walked a few steps to meet me. The palace man beside him covered his mouth and smiled and said, "I'm afraid the virtuous concubine can't wait to see her daughter-in-law, and she will welcome her in person."
I was busy with how to be so loved by the virtuous concubine, and the person who came over. The leading woman is dressed in a purple and gold-red palace costume, which is extremely beautiful. Although she is old, it is as pleasing to the eyes as looking at a painting. I think the fairy in the painting in Liaozhai looks like this? The look is particularly soft, like the spring afternoon sun, which is extremely warm and comfortable.
His eyebrows are six or seven points similar to Jun Yu, but Jun Yu did not inherit his mother's softness. He was like a piece of raw steel, with a sense of coldness all over his body. When standing in the sun, you will show a faint and beautiful side. The virtuous concubine is about thirty-four or five years old. She is petite and exquisite. She is a typical Jiangnan woman. When she quickly came over, she slowed down slightly and asked with a smile, "But Princess Yu'er?" The voice is soft and light, like a light blush flowing in the sunset, and it feels light and long, soft and warm on people.
I was slightly stunned, and I only felt that my thoughts were blurred by her voice. When she reacted, she had already held my hand. I blushed and was secretly annoyed that I had lost my temper for a woman, and this woman was still Jun Yu's mother.
Her hands are as moist as a piece of warm jade. She said, "What a beautiful person."
I blushed and lowered my head and said, "The virtuous concubine praised it." After a pause, he said, "The Empress Dowager suddenly fainted, and the Empress came out in person. It's really killing the minister."
She smiled and said, "Look, they all claim to be ministers, and they are still calling me virtuous concubine." She smiled and said to the pale green cotton-gauze beside her. I was embarrassed to say, "Mother."
The mother smiled and said, "The bride is ashamed. The mother has to teach her slowly." I nodded hurriedly and entered the Yunjin Hall. The whole Yunjin Hall is made of marble as color as white clouds. Facing the hot sun, it does not feel dazzling. I only feel that the whole road is like rising of smoke, making people walk on it as if walking on the clouds.
I am full of admiration. It is rumored that the emperor especially spoils the virtuous concubine. She is not only extremely beautiful, but also has a graceful personality. Now it's really like the rumors, and it naturally gives people a sense of intimacy when they meet.
She kept holding my hand all the way, with a satisfied smile at the corners of her mouth. The virtuous concubine has only one son, Junyu. Now that her son is married, she is naturally happy. Therefore, I must please her to get her support, and I also take the opportunity to explore her thoughts on Shen Weijun. Even if she likes Shen Weijun, I will find a way to make her like me. At that time, I will be wronged in the Six Kings Mansion, and some people can say it behind my back.
Father, I really don't want to put pressure on him. He wants to protect me in front of him and the country behind him. How can his seemingly weak shoulders last? If I am still 11 or 12 years old and still have the age to hide in my father's arms when I was Xiaobai, maybe I will still habitually hide behind my father. However, since being deceived by Xiuyuan, I suddenly feel that I have grown up and will no longer be deceived. Maybe people really have to go through something to grow up.
No matter what the future is, I will honor her, because she is Junyu's mother. The virtuous concubine took my hand and sat on the brocade, looking at me carefully with a gentle smile. I'm afraid I'm smiling, but my face is still a little red.
The mother in green came over with tea and handed it to the virtuous concubine and handed me another cup. I was so busy: "How can I bother you? I'll just serve my mother."
The virtuous concubine smiled and said, "Look at Lian Xin, this clever mouth is not surprising that Yu'er will go to Wu Guo to marry her." Hearing this, I only feel bitter in my heart. I'm just a victim of interests. If I say it's valuable, I won't have it.
I knelt on the ground with the tea cup and said, "Please invite my mother to drink tea." This is my daughter-in-law's tea, which is customarily. The virtuous concubine's eyes lit up and took the tea cup in my hand with a smile, and her eyes were faintly red. The hand that took the tea cup trembled uncontrollably. My eyes turned red. She is Junyu's mother. The happiest mother is to get married and have children.
She has lived in the palace for so many years. At such an age, she must be looking forward to the health of her son and the happiness of her family after marrying her daughter-in-law. And when I saw her like this, I thought of my mother who was always cold to me. It suddenly occurred to me, why do I still miss my mother after being indifferent for so many years? And Xiuyuan or Junyou's indifference will only make me feel sad?
It turns out that this is family affection. Even if she doesn't like me, it still can't be erased. I will miss her and be sad for her departure, not angry. For so many years, I have rarely been angry, but try again and again to make her look at me and make her happy.
Suddenly, I felt a cold on my face. The virtuous concubine touched my face and said, "Silly child, why did you cry?" I was shocked and just felt a warm ** sliding on my face. I smiled and said, "I think of my mother when I see my mother." I bent down on her knees and smiled, "I will be your daughter in the future. I must be better to you than Brother Junyou."
She smiled and said, "You can come and accompany me more often, and you will definitely be better than Yao'er." She said it very confidently. Her white hands rubbed my face and suddenly felt comfortable, like a cup of hot water in winter, which warmed my heart.
Stayed in Yunjin Hall until Junyu came to pick me up, and then she was reluctant to say goodbye to the virtuous concubine. Before leaving, she sent a piece of sheep fat white jade gold hairpin on my head, touched my head and smiled, "This is what my mother gave me in the past. Now I pass it to you. You should cherish and cherish Junyu. As for you, since Junyu said that she was just a side concubine, she would not treat you badly.
With the words of the virtuous concubine and the words of the empress dowager, the big stone in my heart finally fell. Shen Weijun's marriage to Junyu is inevitable, so instead of fighting against it, it's better to seize his own advantage to make people pity.
I nodded and followed Jun Yu out of Yunjin Hall all the way to Hehuan Hall. Tonight, the emperor is going to have a family banquet, and the classy concubines and six other princes in the palace will also come with their families.
When I arrived at the Hehuan Hall, it was already brightly lit. From afar, I heard the confident laughter of the emperor. It seemed that something very interesting happened in the hall.
Along the way, the moonlight is shining, stepping on the moonlight. With me and the people I like, happiness is just like this. He said, "My mother likes you very much."
I turned my head and smiled, "Because I am your wife, but I will be more filial to her than you." He looked at me doubtfully, as if he didn't believe it, or felt ridiculous. That's not my mother.
I laughed at myself: "Didn't you investigate me? Why don't you know my mother?" Suddenly, a flash of insight flashed in his eyes. I said quietly, "If you like me, I will give all my likes. If you don't like me, I will try to make him like it. As for the result, I can't control it."
He smiled and could not deny it. I never repeat a word, but now I want to repeat it again..." I waved my hand and interrupted: "Brother Junyou, people's hearts are fleshy. Even if I deeply understand some truths, I can't control whether I can do it or not, so please don't stab me with those words that I actually understand but don't want to hear."
His eyes darkened slightly and said with a faint smile, "Your words are like her in the past!" The tone is full of memories.
I turned my head and looked at the sparkling surface of the Taiye Pool and said lightly, "If Brother Junxuan can't accept me, please don't treat me as her substitute." With that, he walked into the Hehuan Hall alone.
Jun Yu was stunned, and the cold moonlight was vague with his eyes, mixed with a thin feeling rising from the soles of his feet, like an autumn rain in autumn. It was colder and even colder.
