III Jiangshan

Concubine Wei Xian's boudoir name is Wan, but she is only 34 or [-] years old this year.She was dressed in a concubine-colored palace dress, and the accessories on her head were simple and unassuming. At this moment, she was looking at Yuan Youqi who was kneeling on the ground expressionlessly.

"Baoxiang, do you know your mistake?" she said.

Yuan Youqi knelt on her knees, her upper body bent, but her right hand subconsciously caressed the sapphire blue purse hanging on the lapel of her robe. She didn't like the pattern on it, but because it was embroidered by Gu Heng himself, she became more and more concerned. I really like this royal blue.

"Baby... I don't know." Yuan Youqi lowered his head.

If it was wrong to fall in love with Gu Heng, then her superior father was also wrong.

Concubine Wei Xian saw that her right thumb and forefinger were twiddling the pattern on the royal blue purse all the time, the expression on her face was even more unhappy, and there was a hint of worry in her eyes.

"The dignified prince of Wei, the king of Kuaiji County, spends his days in Gexie, what is he like!" Concubine Wei Xian said with a cold face.

Is it for this?

Yuan Youqi was taken aback.She thought her mother was blaming her and Gu Heng...

Yuan Youqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then stopped being stubborn before, and said respectfully: "Mother and concubine Mingjian! The child is not going to an ordinary song pavilion. Fengming Tower is still mother and concubine for the child..."

Concubine Wei Xian's eyebrows twitched when she heard this, she quickly looked around, and when she confirmed that there were all trustworthy people in the palace, Fang Youyou sighed: "You are always right!"

Yuan Youqi raised his head and looked at Concubine Wei Xian.

Her eyes are bright, and the pupils are not black or dark brown like ordinary people, but a light amber color.The flattering appearance is like an obedient cat.

Concubine Wei Xian lost her mind again, because of those pupils that were not like Emperor Wei or any other prince.

When Yuan Youqi was very young, she realized that the color of her eyes was different from that of her father and brothers, so she pestered Concubine Wei Xian to ask.Concubine Wei Xian had no choice but to come up with an argument she had already thought about and told her: The Yuan clan was originally a Xianbei clan, and the old system was abolished only when Emperor Taizu founded the country, allowing and encouraging intermarriage between Xianbei nobles and Han clans to strengthen the royal family's prestige.

"So, the color of the child's eyes is inherited from the ancestors?" At that time, the young Yuan Youqi came to the conclusion logically.

Concubine Wei Xian naturally said yes.

"No wonder, the child is not like the father, but he is like the ancestor!" The little Yuan Youqi is very good at comparing one thing to another, so he said with a silly smile, "It turns out that the father loves children the most because of this!"

Back then Concubine Wei Xian never expected that she would make such an association, and while she was dazed, she immediately realized the danger of this child's thinking.From that day on, she tirelessly told the inexperienced Yuan Youqi, "Even if your father favors you, you only need to observe the etiquette and never get close to your father."

The little Yuan Youqi also smelled something unusual from the serious expression of the concubine mother, and nodded ignorantly.

Concubine Wei Xian was still worried, and said solemnly: "Baoxiang, you have to know that you are different from those imperial brothers of yours... If your father or someone else knows that you are a daughter, you and your mother Concubine, including those who serve you, as well as people in the palace of your mother and concubine, as well as your grandfather, uncle, and even the entire Wei Mansion, everyone is guilty of deceiving the emperor!"

Xiao Yuan Youqi knew that she was different from the imperial brothers from the time she could remember, and now seeing her mother and concubine's solemn expression, and hearing the words "crime of deceiving the emperor", she knew that the matter was of great importance.Those four characters are closely related to life, reputation, family and so on.

At that time, she pursed her lips tightly and nodded slowly, expressing that she remembered everything in her heart.In fact, at that time, she really wanted to ask the concubine mother: Why do children have to dress up as men?Doesn't the emperor like his daughter?

However, the birth of the later little sister Yuan Lingyi clearly proved that the father loves his daughter so much.

Over the years, Yuan Youqi did not dare to ask the concubine mother this question, she was afraid of making the concubine mother angry.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, Yuan Youqi has never asked this question, she has always followed what Concubine Wei Xian asked her to do, the only exception is Gu Heng...

"Mother concubine?" Yuan Youqi's voice rang in his ears.

Concubine Wei Xian suddenly came back to her senses, seeing her kneeling on the ground with her face up, she also felt distressed, and said: "Get up first!"

"Yes." Yuan Youqi heard the words, propped up his body, and stood with hands down.

Her height is as tall as her own, like a green bamboo that is jointed after the rain, it changes every day.The only thing that remains the same is this respect, not only to himself, but also to the emperor.Since when did this child who used to cling to him all the time become estranged from him?

Was it from the time when she was strictly ordered not to mention her daughter's identity to others, or from the time when she accidentally skipped class in the study room for fun when she was young, and was punished by herself for copying "Dijian Quotations" five times? What about when it gets swollen?

Concubine Wei Xian knew that she had become a "strict mother" in the past ten years.

Between mother and child, it shouldn't be like this, should it?Even the crown prince is more affectionate than respectful to Concubine Li De who raised him.

"You haven't had lunch yet, have you?" Concubine Wei Xian's voice softened a lot.

"Well...the mother and concubine don't need to make special preparations, and the baby doesn't have much appetite." Yuan Youqi said.

"No appetite? I have to eat even if I don't have an appetite! I'm so hungry, do you want to make my mother feel bad?" Concubine Wei Xian deliberately put on a stern face.

Seeing Yuan Youqi stopped talking, Concubine Wei Xian said again: "If you are hungry or not, at least you can spend some with me."

After she said that, she ordered the palace staff to prepare meals.

Yuan Youqi asked in amazement: "It's this hour, and the concubine is still useless?"

"When one gets old, one's appetite will weaken." Concubine Wei Xian said lightly.

"The concubine mother is not old, and the concubine mother is in the prime of her youth. Anyone who looks at it will think that the concubine mother is only young." Yuan Youqi said sincerely.

"Heh, you're the only one with a sweet mouth!" Concubine Wei Xian smiled, "You are so old, can mother and concubine not grow old?"

While speaking, the palace servants had already brought up the lunch.

Yuan Youqi glanced at it, and found that almost all of them were his favorite food, which shows how hard the concubine mother loves her!

She was moved in her heart, and looked eagerly at the shallow crow's feet that did not know when Wei Xianfei's eyes climbed up, and said: "The child must be filial to the mother and concubine, and don't make the mother and concubine angry. The mother and the concubine will always be so beautiful and young." !"

Concubine Wei Xian was also moved, and said with emotion: "Baoxiang, you are already very filial!"

She decided not to mention that bad thing for now.

The mother and son each suppressed their concerns, and only tried to be more relaxed in front of each other, so that they could have a good meal with each other.

After eating, rinse your mouth and wash your hands.

Yuan Youqi had something on his mind and couldn't sit still.She reluctantly wentssiping with Concubine Wei Xian for a while, then smiled apologetically, "Concubine Mother, there are still some miscellaneous matters to be dealt with in the child's house, look..."

Yuan Youqi opened the mansion at the age of 15, and was granted the title of "King of Kuaiji County".The location was personally determined by Emperor Wei. The mansion looks ordinary from the outside, but once you enter the mansion, anyone with a little discernment can tell that such a scale is enough for a prince's mansion.

She became the king of the county at the age of 15. Among the princes, she was three years earlier than Yuan Chengping, the fourth son of the Jinan county king who founded the mansion. How could she not impress the inside and the outside?Everyone knows: Today, the youngest son is spoiled to the limit.

After hearing what she said, Concubine Wei Xian guessed seven or eight points in her heart, and waved away the maid, leaving only Pan Fu to serve.

"Are there any chores in the house?" She asked calmly.

Yuan Youqi was already nervous, and answered "yes" vaguely.

She really didn't want to lie to her concubine, but she couldn't help but lie about this matter...

Concubine Wei Xian didn't expose her, she glanced at her indifferently, and said: "You don't want to delay the affairs of the palace, you should pay more attention to the affairs of the court."

Yuan Youqi's heart tightened slightly, he nodded and said, "Yes."

Seeing her respectful look, Concubine Wei Xian said again: "Baoxiang, do you know what His Majesty discussed with the ministers at the court meeting today?"

Yuan Youqi's heart shrank sharply, and he asked calmly, "What was discussed?"

Concubine Wei Xian raised her for 16 years, how could she not understand her?With a silent sigh in his heart, he said calmly, "Your Majesty has decided to accept Gu Heng as his concubine."

Such a simple sentence, to Yuan Youqi's ears, was no less than a bolt from the blue.

"Na... concubine? Na Aheng..." she repeated dumbly.

Concubine Wei Xian also felt sad when she saw this.But she knew that at such a critical juncture, she had to persevere, so that Baoxiang would not make a mistake and become eternal hatred.

"That's right," Concubine Wei Xian continued as if chatting about something irrelevant, "Originally, His Majesty wanted to make Gu Heng the queen and enter the central palace. Her father presented His Majesty with a statement."

"Chen Jian..." Yuan Youqi's whole mind was numb, and he could only passively receive news about Gu Heng.

"That's right, it's just a piece of advice. After reading it, His Majesty's face was extremely ugly, and he said, 'When will it be her turn, a little girl, to comment on my country and society?'" Wei Xianfei said.

Yuan Youqi turned pale with shock: "Father, can you...can Ah Heng be punished?"

"No." Concubine Wei Xian frowned and replied, thinking to herself, as long as it's about Gu Heng, you've lost your sense of proportion.Such a woman, even if she can be married, I will not allow her to be a daughter-in-law!

Yuan Youqi breathed a sigh of relief, and then said proudly: "Aheng is well-read, extremely smart, and extremely knowledgeable. She must have written some insightful articles."

Concubine Wei Xian didn't take it seriously, said: "She is so smart, she doesn't care about His Majesty's taboo, I don't know if she is really smart or has other plans!"

Yuan Youqi was inspired by her words, and he also murmured in his heart.However, that matter was going to become true after all, and she didn't have the time to think about it.

"Mother and concubine, father really wants to accept Ah Heng into the palace?" Yuan Youqi still couldn't believe it.

"Of course it's true, the Ministry of Rites has already asked the Ministry of Rites to choose a date," Concubine Wei Xian said again with concern, "So, Baoxiang, what Mother Concubine told you is to let you go as soon as possible..."

Before he finished speaking, suddenly a small yellow door hurried to the outside of the hall.

Knowing that it was urgent, Pan Fu hurriedly went out to greet him, and quickly turned back.

"Your Majesty, your driver is coming to Fengyi Palace! You have already passed Cuiweixuan. Manager You, please hurry up and get ready to pick him up!" Pan Fu replied.
