Chapter 271 Goddaughter
Zhao Qian sent Aunt Xiu to go to the queen's place. Zhi'er was making trouble. Princess Sucome couldn't help coaxing her, and her face turned red. Empress Li saw the words on the note and just wanted to send someone to the prince's mansion to find the embroidered aunt, but they happened to come back.
Princess Sucome frowned and asked, "Where have you been?" Zhi'er woke up hungry..."
The embroidered aunt didn't make a sound. She took Zhi'er and went to the inner room/feeding/milk.
Princes Sucome asked for something boring, but she couldn't do anything about the embroidery aunt. After all, Zhier is very dependent on this wet nurse.
Zhao Qian smiled and said, "I originally wanted to take Aunt Xiu to the house to see them and make a batch of beautiful shoes. Unexpectedly, when something else happened on the way, I was wronged and waited in the pavilion for a while. After I finished my work, I found that it was late. I was afraid that Zhier had woken up, so I came back quickly. We have to wait for another day to make shoes.
These words were sent by Princess Su Ko, but they couldn't hide them from the queen.
Empress Li just smiled and did not expose Zhao Qian.
Princes Suko lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking. Suddenly, she asked Zhao Qian, "Brother Qian, didn't you build a pavilion in the college? I heard that it was difficult to walk around. When will you show me?"
"Why do you remember this?" Zhao Qian's heart jumped and immediately smiled, "Let's talk about it when you are strong after a year and a half. I'm afraid that you can't walk dozens of steps, so you will faint, let alone finish thousands of steps.
Princes Sucome was stunned and said, "How can there be so many levels? That lake is not particularly big. Even if the pavilion is on the other side of the lake, it can't be used so much.
"That's why it's called whirlwind, and there's no hole in the sky." Zhao Qian laughed.
"Humph..." Princess Sucome teased, "Why did you build an attic like that? Just like a scenic villa, are you planning to settle in a new beauty again? And is she still a heavyweight beauty?"
Zhao Qian pooed and said with a little smile, "What beauty do you add! That's my brother's college, which is better decorated. He can also be interested in reading and studying on weekdays, which can add affection.
"So that's it!" Princess Suko didn't believe it at all: "When did Brother Qian become so elegant?"
Zhao Qian bluffed and said, "Aren't I always like this? It's just that you didn't notice. Don't talk nonsense anymore."
Princess Sucome snorted: "Who believes it?"
Queen Li saw that the two of them quarreled and was about to insert a few words when Aunt Xiu came out with a clever son in her arms. Compared with when she was just born, Zhier's face is much more ruddy. Although she is still small, she has some confidence in crying and occasionally smiles at the embroidered girl.
Princes Sucome saw Zhier. He was squeaking his mouth, as if he was tasting something delicious, with a trace of pleasure on his little face. The princess greeted her happily and stretched out her arms: "Come on, Xiao Zhier, let your mother hug you."
Before the embroidered aunt handed it out, the little guy curled his mouth and began to whine and twist his body to make trouble.
The princess was quite embarrassed by the contrast of her son. His face was very ugly, so he had to let Aunt Xiu hold him again. Inadvertently looked at Aunt Xiu's eyes, there was a trace of entangled jealousy.
Empress Li glanced at the embroidered aunt and said to Princess Suko, "Take good care of yourself. Zhier's living and diet will be handed over to Aunt Xiu in the future.
"Queen Mother!" The princess shouted.
After listening to Queen Li's words, Aunt Xiu was a little surprised and couldn't help staring at her and saying, "The daughter of the people is just assisting the princess and taking care of the children. The princess is the mother of Zhi'er. Naturally, the princess occupies an important position in daily life.
Queen Li and Yan smiled happily and said, "I think you are safe, meticulous and reasonable, and many times better than those who look like Qiao and do Zhang! I don't worry that Zhier will let you take care of the whole process!"
Xiugu paused for a moment and didn't know what to say, so she simply didn't say anything.
Princess Suko looked at her mother puzzled, and Empress Li only nodded to her. There was no doubt that she was firm and unchangeable.
Aunt Xiu always felt that there was something wrong and thought that it would be better to make room for their mother and daughter, so that the two people who disagreed could discuss it more. Maybe when she got along with the princess, the princess would show some clues to herself. So he said to Zhao Qian, "It's still early. Why don't you go to your house to see what kind of shoes they need? I can also arrange someone to do it!"
Zhao Qian cast a questioning look at Empress Li. Empress Li said, "Go! Aunt Xiu is also from her own family. Don't be too foreign and strange. It's good to play with Cai and others often.
As soon as she took two steps, Queen Li stopped them, took a big red velvet blanket of golden-embroidered magpie and wrapped it in Zhier. She smiled kindly and said, "It's cold outside. Add another layer. Don't let him get cold." Then, he explained a few words, "The snowy road is slippery, and you have to be extra careful" before reassuring that Zhao Qian and Aunt Xiu went to the prince's mansion.
Seeing that they went far away, Princess Su Ko said to Empress Li, "Mother, how do you entrust Zhi'er's diet and living to Aunt Xiu?! This embroidered girl has a deep friendship with the beggar. It was the beggar who brought her to the capital to take root! That day, when I saw that it was the female owner of Kanping Shoe Village, I didn't want to keep her! But Zhier is dying, so he has no choice but to stay! Although this is the case, you have to be guarded at all times. How can you give her the trust and take care of it as you said?
"The mother knows." Empress Li smiled lightly and sighed to Princess Sukou, "Don't you see Zhier's dependence on the wet nurse? Not to mention that she can't find a second wet nurse after leaving Xiu's aunt, she just said that her mother's back view of this embroidered aunt's character. She is not a person who is greedy for gold and silver. Not to mention thousands of gold, even ten thousand taels of gold may not be taken seriously! She is willing to feed you, mostly to repay Ren'er's kindness to take care of her in the past years! Another point is that she wants to see her beggar sister who has been separated for many days!"
"The beggar has been missing from the palace for so long and has not been missing! How can Aunt Xiu come to the prime minister's mansion for her? Princess Sukou said without thinking about it.
Queen Li raised her eyebrows, looked solemn, and raised her voice and said, "When did you disappear from the palace?"
Princes Sukou suddenly remembered and quickly changed her words, "I mean to say that I haven't seen her for a long time!"
"Kor!" Empress Li narrowed her eyes in pain and looked at Princess Sucome disappointedly.
Princes Sucome sweated on her forehead and had to confide, "She...she... once lived in the ghost courtyard of her brother's house for a period of time."
"When did it happen? Why doesn't the Queen Mother know?
Princess Suko told Empress Li about the situation when Master Dongfang sent beggars to the palace to take refuge during that time.
What happened later? What happened again?" Empress Li said.
"No...nothing... Later, the beggar somehow got out of the palace..." Princess Sucome fooled.
"The palace is strictly forbidden. In fact, she can mix it out if she wants to?" Empress Li said fiercely, "If you don't make it clear, the mother is not sure. I'm afraid that you will be resented. It's a problem whether you can feed your child or not!"
Princes Suo's face tightened and cried to Queen Li: "Originally, Brother Dongfang sent the beggar to the palace to avoid the limelight. Unexpectedly, the beggar's seductive nature did not change, and he hooked up with Brother Qian somehow fell in favor with her! Fearing that Brother Dongfang would come to find her, Brother Qian moved her residence to the college. Later, Brother Qian took her out of the palace to play, and she fled. I don't know where she went..."
Queen Li heard it and said with a hazy face, "That's all, right? Are you sure you didn't deceive your mother?"
How dare Princess Sucome say it all? She only said timidly, "That's about it. If the mother doesn't believe it, she can ask... Brother Qian..." Princess Su Ko knew that Empress Li was unlikely to ask Zhao Qian again. If you really ask, Zhao Qian will not say the section when he has no choice but to take advantage of people's danger.
Queen Li's color softened a little and said, "In the future, if something happens, especially big things, don't talk about it!" The mother has experienced more ups and downs than the rice grains you have eaten, and she can always be your opinion to avoid some twists and turns!"
Princess Suko said, "I remember it."
"I'm afraid Ren'er's becoming a monk has something to do with that beggar, right?" Empress Li said.
Princes Sucome looked up in fear, sadness and surprise, and said in disbelief, "What does the mother mean is that the beggar a monk? Then Brother Dongfang accompanied her?"
"Ren'er may not go with her! But it must be because you did something wrong to her!" Queen Li gave her daughter a hard look.
Princess Sucome heard this, trembled and her hands trembled, and said in shock, "No!"
Queen Li sighed and said earnestly, "Koer, Ren'er has become a monk, and it is useless to say more. Now Zhier is still young and can't even leave the wet nurse, but he will rely on you in the future, so you have to know in mind that no matter what, you must let Zhier grow up healthy! Whether there was or not, the Queen Mother wants you to do less stupid things! You should be kind to the wet nurse, be kind to the wet nurse's sister, and stop showing small childishness like today!"
Princes Sucome was stunned for a long time and said incredulously, "I can barely do it, but if the beggar sister of the embroidered aunt appears one day, the mother also wants me to swallow my anger and ignore the past? She destroyed Brother Dongfang. I have a deep relationship with her, and I can't be relieved for the rest of my life!"
"Koer..." Queen Li took out a cup, poured a glass of warm water, and said to the princess, "You pick it up."
Princes Sucome was puzzled and picked it up. Because her hand was unstable, the water overflowed straight out.
"How about this kind of water temperature as a hand warmer?" Empress Li said.
Princes Sucome replied truthfully, "It's not hot or cold. It's just right in winter."
Queen Li said, "Put it down, I'll pour you another cup."
Then, Queen Li poured a cup of hot water and said in a grim voice, "Take it up, it's flat!"
Princes Sucome did not dare to disobey. She picked it up tremblingly and spilled hot water on her hand. The pain made her scream, and the cup fell to the ground and broke.
"Why don't you take it well?" Empress Li scolded.
"It's so hot...too painful..." Princess Sucome looked at the red and swollen hand and looked at her mother's back with tears in her eyes.
Queen Li said, "When it really hurts, you also know how to let go? Do you know what the mother wants you to understand?
Princess Sucome nodded, shook again, and replied, "I don't know."
"It seems that Ren'er's monk hasn't let you see through something. Do you have to encounter all the most tragic misfortunes to see through them? Can you not be so stupid? Empress Li said solemnly, "Koer, do you know what Zhier means to you?"
Princess Sucome looked sad: "Of course I know that he is my only child."
"Because he is by your side now, you can't feel the pain of losing your heart." Empress Li said.
"Mother... Is it bad to curse your son?" Princess Sucome's face turned pale for a while, and she couldn't believe it.
Queen Li became more and more disappointed and sighed, "Why are you so stupid? If only the wet nurse were half transparent."
Princes Sucome was unwilling to say, "Queen Mother, why do you always praise others but belittle your daughter?"
Queen Li said, "It's not the mother who belittles you. The mother told you that for the rest of your life, only Zhier will depend on you for life! Do you understand? Zhi'er has become a weapon, and you will have a very comfortable life; if Zhi'er has become a weapon, you will go downhill in the future. The late scene is getting more and more desolate year by year. Do you understand?"
Princes Sucome muttered, "Isn't there still a father and mother? And what about Brother Qian?"
Queen Li sighed heavily and said, "Even if you are the heart of your mother, you have a hundred years later, and your father and mother are no exception. Although your father is obsessed with researching Dan Pharmaceuticals to grow into immortals, it is all false. After your brother moved to Dabao, not to mention being busy with state affairs and can't take care of you, only the group in the harem is enough for him to suffer. In case you offend one, and it is your brother's favorite, do you think he will turn to you? So, it's what you should learn to deal with people well.
Princes Sucome listened in a daze and said, "Isn't it not only Brother Dongfang... Will my father and mother also leave me? Will Brother Qian also ignore his sister?
Queen Li said, "If you can say it, the mother has told you. You have been in the palace since you were a child, and you are unsophisticated, but that wet nurse, she is talented and has some experience. She is indifferent to many things, but she is very intelligent and thorough. It will only be lucky for Zhier to follow her when she was a child. With the demeanor of his wet nurse, the mother is relieved.
Princes Suko said in a panic, "Mother, when do you want the wet nurse to take care of your son?" Isn't it enough to wait for half a year to be weaned? Queen Mother?"
Queen Li said, "If Aunt Xiu is willing, the mother wants her to take care of her child until she is old enough to have a family and a career!"
Princess Sucome was at a loss and said, "No! In that case, Zhier won't recognize me as a mother! Didn't the mother see it? Zhier is still ignorant, so she regards the wet nurse as her own mother! If we have helped each other for more than ten years, what is the status of my mother? What is it?"
Empress Li frowned and said, "How can an embroidered aunt fight with you if she has a son?" She is light-natured, pure in good conduct, and elegant in temperament. If she affects Zhier day and night, even if Zhier kisses her, she will be taught to understand benevolence and righteousness and filial piety, and will be good to your mother. You are both talented and filial. What else do you want as a mother? It's better than teaching him by your side!"
"No matter how pure a person is, can he be pure when he is mixed with the beggar girl?" Princess Sucome said anly.
Queen Li looked at her and said, "You used to be Ren'er. It's okay if you were not satisfied with that beggar. Now that you are dispersed, won't you let yourself go?"
"I won't let her go! It's not that I won't let myself go! When I see her, I must ask her where she hid Brother Dongfang!" Princess Sucome gritted her teeth, and her weak body trembled after giving birth.
Queen Li shook her head and said angrily, "It seems that it's not right to tell you directly! Ren'er, you forced him out of the family, do you know? After the beggar escaped, he was found by your brother. He has been in the palace since the end of last year and is pregnant with your brother's child. Do you hear me clearly? It's all your fault for Ren'er to be a monk. Reflect on it!"
Queen Li's words, like a blow to the head, knocked Princess Sukou stunned.
After a long time, she came to her senses and muttered, "This is impossible! This is impossible! I'm looking for Brother Qian, and I want to ask him clearly!"
"Calm down!" Empress Li grabbed her and said, "How about asking clearly? I don't know how? Are you still not satisfied that she is pregnant with your brother's child?
"Queen Mother... What does this mean?" Princess Sucome said in panic.
"Do you dare to say that when she lived in the palace, didn't you expect her to be with your brother?" Empress Li asked.
Princess Sucome stood there, as if her feet were fixed. Her heart beats, as if her dark hidden ideas and practices have never escaped her mother's eyes.
What exactly does the mother know? Princess Sucome was so uncertain that she dared not test, nor could she test it.
Yes, as long as the mother doesn't open it openly, it must not be leaked first.
Princes Sukou took a few breaths and whispered, "I just want to ask Brother Qian, why don't you tell me about such a big happy event to make my sister happy!"
Empress Li looked at her: "You have finally grown a little."
Princes Sucome said something more. She heard her brother Zhao Qian say, "Mother, my aunt and I are back!"
Queen Li gave Princess Su Ko a wink and said, "You can ask him about it, but don't do it directly!" It's better for your brother to take the initiative to tell you!"
Princess Sucome ran over and smiled at the embroidered aunt and said, "Are you back? Is the appearance of the shoes certain?
Xiu Gu said, "Everyone wants different things! I'm going to take the opportunity to go back to the shoe farm and explain it to the guys!"
Princess Suko looked at Zhi'er. Sleeping soundly. It seems that the bumpy all the way, like a cradle, made him enter a good dream.
quietly took it, held it in his arms, and kissed it, full of pity and joy.
Queen Li smiled and said with understandingly, "Those sisters are picking up one by one. Now you are tired."
The embroidered girl smiled and shook her head: "It's okay. Now those guys' craftsmanship is becoming more and more pure. I haven't taken needles and thread for a long time. I'm not used to it. Just leave it to them. It's much better than me.
Queen Li said, "Yes. You have a half-year-old child and you have to take care of Zhi'er. You can't work hard with needle and thread anymore.
The embroidered girl lowered her head and said, "Thank you, queen, for your care."
