Rebirth of the first courtier

Dayu, Wenjian five years, winter.

The sky was getting dark, and before the key was about to be released, a carriage slowly came out of the palace gate. The guards just took a look at the driver and didn't even look at it any more. They didn't even do a routine check .

At this moment, there was no one on the street near the palace gate, only the sound of the wheels of the carriage "rolling" and the sound of the coachman whipping his whip from time to time.

The carriage did not travel too far, and soon stopped in front of a house.The location of this house is so close to the imperial palace, it can be seen that its owner is either noble or extremely favored by the emperor.

"My lord, please slow down." The coachman put the carriage stool away, opened the curtain of the carriage, and said softly.

"Hmm." The man who got off the carriage was wearing a black cloak, and he could vaguely see that he was wearing a first-grade crane suit, which showed that his status was not low.

The concierge heard the movement and hurriedly opened the door, "My lord, you are back. The butler told me that the old lady asked you to go to Chunhui Hall after you come back!"

The man nodded, his face illuminated by the lantern was extremely handsome, especially his pair of phoenix eyes were quiet and dark, as if there was a small whirlpool hidden in them, making people addicted to it at a glance.

The mansion was brightly lit, the man dismissed the coachman and others, and went directly to Chunhui Hall without going back to the main courtyard.As soon as he arrived at Chunhui Hall, Nanny Liu beside his mother saluted him and opened the thick curtain, "My lord is back, the old lady has been waiting for you."

"Thank you ma'am." The man nodded slightly and entered the room.There was a graceful woman sitting in the room, and the man greeted the woman first, "Mother is well, what is so urgent can't wait until tomorrow."

The woman stroked her hair on her temples, and beckoned to the servant girl to quickly bring the foot stove and put it under the man's feet, and sighed, "You all go out first."

"Yes, old lady." The maids saluted and exited the room. The woman put a bowl of bird's nest in front of the man, "It has been warmed for a long time, and I am waiting for you to come back."

The man scooped up a spoonful, and sure enough, the temperature was just right, neither hot nor cold. The man showed a slight smile, and the whole room lit up in an instant, "Mother, please keep thinking about your son."

"What are you talking about heretics?" the woman yelled angrily, and gradually her face showed some joy, "I have heard the letter from the Queen Mother, saying that you will be formally appointed Prime Minister tomorrow. After so many years, I finally made it out."

The man put down the bowl and spoon, wiped the corners of his mouth with a towel, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, His Majesty finally took full control of the court, and the son is considered to be in his early years. Mother will not have to work hard in the future."

The woman nodded with a smile, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said, "No, my son and I will never work hard in the future."

"Mother should be happy. When my son becomes the prime minister tomorrow, my mother will also be named a first-rank madam." The man hurriedly coaxed the woman, who kept saying yes, "Happy today, let my son have a drink with mother."

"Yes." The man beckoned the maid outside to bring the wine, and poured a glass for the woman and himself, "Mother has taught the son to work hard all these years, so let's enjoy the happiness in the future." After finishing speaking, he drank the wine in the glass.

The woman nodded, with a strange look on her face, the man said something interesting, but the woman did not respond.The man stood up and bowed to the woman, "I think the mother is tired, so the son will go back first."

"Qi'ao." The woman put down her wine glass and called out suddenly.The man looked back at the woman suspiciously, "Mother, do you have something else to say?"

The woman just stared at the man in a daze, and suddenly laughed, which was different from her usual dignified smile, this time it seemed as if she was laughing out all the gloom in her heart.The man frowned slightly, not understanding why the woman laughed.

"Xiao Qi'ao, take your life as the Xiao family repaying me for the pain I suffered all these years." The woman stood up and walked in front of the man, "Don't you think the abdominal pain is unbearable?"

Xiao Qiao frowned, felt a dull pain in his abdomen and looked at the woman in disbelief. The person in front of him was his mother, his beloved mother, why?

The woman breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the top seat again, picked up the wine glass and shook it, some of the wine in the glass was spilled, the woman looked at Xiao Qi'ao happily, "You killed my child, of course you will give it to her Pay for my life. How much suffering I have suffered in the Xiao family these years, the Xiao family should also repay me, and your life is the best."

Xiao Qi'ao swallowed the gushing blood, her quiet eyes became unpredictable: "I respect you, I will break with my father because of you, why?"

The woman chuckled, but the laughter was full of ferocity and hatred. She raised her voice and said, "You ask me why, if that bitch hadn't given birth to you back then, how could I have exchanged my child for you? You, killed my child, it is you and me who have been living so hard all these years!"

Xiao Qi'ao didn't seem to be able to feel the pain in his abdomen, he really laughed when he wanted to, his handsome face instantly became radiant.Ridiculous, really ridiculous!He hadn't even noticed that when Xiao Jingshu died, everything wrong with her was ignored by him.

It is so, it is so!

No wonder she had such a strange attitude towards herself when she was a child, but she only became kind to herself when she grew up.No wonder she was indifferent to other concubines and concubines, but she was so kind to Xiao Jingshu.No wonder she kept telling her how her father mistreated her so that she never got close to him.It's no wonder that when he chose to secretly help her sister Concubine Ning's son, the Seventh Prince, sit on the throne, she didn't see him at all during that time.

It is so, it is so!

"Hahaha, mother, my good mother!" Xiao Qi'ao opened his mouth with faint black blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. He staggered up to her and whispered in her ear, "Unfortunately, your daughter It was you who killed her. Xiao Jingshu was not poisoned to death by me at all, but by the coral that you sent her personally."

The woman pushed Xiao Qi'ao away abruptly, her face was ferocious without any trace of kindness and grace, "Impossible, how did Coral take Shu'er's life!?"

Xiao Qi'ao followed the woman's strength and sat down on a chair beside her, and chuckled lightly, "Why not, that coral plant was drenched with deadly poison, it was meant to be given to the Third Prince, but you sent it to Arriving at the First Prince's Mansion, ha ha... cough cough!"

The woman smashed the things in the house to pieces like crazy, she gasped and looked at Xiao Qi'ao's chuckle, and suddenly gave a ferocious smile, "It's okay, it's okay, anyway, your wife and children are fine too. Go down and accompany my child, hahaha!"

Xiao Qi'ao's heart choked. She chose his wife. Although he didn't love her, he loved her very much because of her. However, his wife had a miscarriage after six months of pregnancy, resulting in two deaths. All made by his good mother!

Xiao Qi'ao no longer paid attention to how the woman went crazy.His vision had already started to become blurred, looking at the misty scene in front of him, Xiao Qi'ao could hardly relax.

For the sake of his good mother these years, he has not been close to his father or even broke up with him. In order to prevent her from being angered by her father in the Xiao residence, he overcame all difficulties to pick her up. In order to make her mother's family honorable and luxurious, he took risks and got involved in the battle for the throne. middle.In exchange for a glass of poisonous wine, his good mother!

Xiao Qi'ao's spiritual consciousness gradually fell into darkness, if he could go back to the past, he would no longer suffer so much for her!

"Eldest young master, are you awake? Madam invites you to come over." A maid's voice came from outside the door, Xiao Qi'ao frowned slightly. When did he have such an unruly maid in his yard? I don't know that he never likes others. To disturb his rest?

"Eldest young master?" The servant girl asked again in a low voice, Xiao Qi'ao opened her eyes and was taken aback for a moment.This is... such a familiar room, it was his bedroom when he was still in Xiao's house!

"Qiuxi, the young master is still awake, so stop calling." Another maid tugged at Qiuxi's sleeve and reminded her in a low voice.Qiu Xi was taken aback for a moment, then lowered her head and said nothing, almost forgetting that the young master would not be in a good temper every time he woke up after being interrupted to rest.

Xiao Qi'ao heard the silence outside the door, closed her eyes, then sat up and put on a coat, looking at the exact same room as she remembered, feeling a little dazed.Is he alive?

Xiao Qi'ao's quiet eyes narrowed suddenly, no, he died, he died under a cup of poisoned wine by his good mother.Xiao Qi'ao raised the corners of his mouth and smiled mockingly. It was because he himself was too stupid before that he couldn't see that there were so many things that were wrong and unreasonable. All the strange things were covered up by his admiration for her. up.

Xiao Qi'ao got down from the bed, walked in front of a bronze mirror, looked at the still immature face and the pair of eyes that did not match the face in the mirror, and was stunned again.This should be almost what he looked like ten years ago. At that time, he hadn't broken with his father, and he hadn't assisted the Seventh Prince to take the throne.

Xiao Qi'ao suddenly came back to his senses, opened the window next to him, looked at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar scenery in the yard, and was slightly dazed, did he go back to about ten years ago?

Ten years ago, everything hadn't started yet, anything was possible!

The maid who heard the movement in the room leaned her head towards the door, and after confirming that there was indeed movement in the room and that she hadn't misheard, she knocked lightly on the door, "Master, are you awake?"

Xiao Qi'ao lowered his eyes, suppressed the emotions in his heart that were too late to sort out one by one, and called the maid outside to come in and wait for him to dress and tie his hair, while asking nonchalantly: "I heard my mother asking me to come over , did you say what it was?"

Qiu Xi smoothed Xiao Qi'ao's clothes, and returned softly: "I don't know what it is, but Madam Liu who is beside Madam came here with a smile, it should be that Madam got some good things for Eldest Young Master."

Xiao Qi'ao didn't speak, but only laughed in his heart, he was tortured mercilessly in the next ten years.Now that he knows that his good mother has always resented him, he is still willing to respect her and respect her. It would be good if he didn't find a chance to harm her.As for his real biological mother, that bright and beautiful woman who died in the end, if her life can be saved, then let her spend the rest of her life in peace.

Xia Yang teased Qiu Xi and signaled her not to talk too much, Qiu Xi pouted. Although she felt that Xia Yang was always too cautious, she also knew that she shut up for her own good.

"Okay, I'm hungry, go get some food, and go to the west courtyard later." Xiao Qi'ao waved the two maids to go down, and when they went out, they added, "Go and call Shuzhu."

Qiuxi and Xia Yangfu stepped back, one went to the kitchen, and the other went to call Shuzhu.

Xiao Qi'ao looked at the young man in the bronze mirror and chuckled, without him, would his good mother still be able to live as freely and recklessly as she did in her previous life?
