The correct way to open the first favorite concubine of Ming Dynasty

(Hu Shanxiang's perspective)

When it was brought to me for the first time, Zhen'er stared at me with wide-eyed eyes.His eyes are very much like mine, they are delicate almond eyes.He is my son, my flesh and blood.

When Madam Wu, who was beside the Queen Mother, sent him to me, she said that the Queen Mother had not informed him of his life experience.

Just when the palace people told him that they wanted me to be his mother, he would often be in a daze and didn't like to talk.The queen mother was afraid that if she said too much, it would have too much impact on him - he was still young after all.

Even a hard-hearted person like the Queen Mother can't bear to tell the truth, how can I mention it to this child?

I wanted my child back regardless of the cost, but when he really stood in front of me, I couldn't hold him and cry like I imagined, telling him that I was his biological mother.

If Mrs. Sun had abused him, perhaps telling him that his biological mother was someone else and Mrs. Sun was just a thief, he would be thankful, relieved, and happy.

But Mrs. Sun really treats him kindly, he is attached to Mrs. Sun, and I have noticed him from afar all these years.

Thinking of this, I spontaneously felt a kind of hatred.I hate her more than when I saw the emperor doting on her.

At this time, the little promise (referring to the low-level eunuch) outside the door informed that Mrs. Sun came to "visit sick" again.

Qi Zhen was originally sitting at the table flipping a book, but when he heard this, he jumped off his chair and ran to the inner room to hide.

It was like this for a few days.

I gathered my thoughts and ordered her to come in.

When she saw me, she didn't salute as usual.I remembered that the emperor issued an edict today, and her Sun family is also the queen from now on, so naturally she doesn't have to salute me anymore.

I laughed sarcastically and said, "Sister and Your Majesty, your wish has been fulfilled, so why bother to 'visit' when you're tired."

She didn't hide it, and smiled kindly: "It's not too late, it's good to start well and end well."

I said: "From now on, I will practice Taoism in closed doors, and I will never get in touch with my sister. I will never appear in front of my sister again to disturb my sister. You can rest assured."

She actually opened her mouth and said: "I don't care how you live in your palace. But what do you want Qi Zhen? He is still a child, do you want him to stay behind closed doors every day?"

I was furious: "How dare you mention the town to me! Why do you mention the town to me?"

"I'm doing it for the good of the town," she said.

I laughed angrily: "You stole him away, and when you don't need him anymore, you return him. How dare you say it's for his own good?"

"I really can't help it."

I sneered: "Your Qi Yu wants to inherit the throne, of course you have no other way."

She closed her smile and looked at me coldly: "Do you really think that I have no choice but to return him to you?"

Those gazes were so cold that even I was frozen.

Yes, she could have easily got rid of Qi Zhen, once and for all.

With the emperor's love and indulgence for her, even if she did, he would only turn a blind eye to her.

But she chose to take a big detour.

So I was speechless.

She calmed down and said: "If you are willing, Zhen'er will be raised by me and you together from now on, counted as the son of the two palaces. In this way, Zhen'er will feel better. Besides, no one dares to bully him. He He can often come to see his father and younger brothers and sisters."

I am struggling.

I've lost everything to her.

No matter what, I don't want my son, my only one, to call her "mother" again, and to be filial to her.

"I know you're not fair," she said, "but the turmoil between us adults in the past, who is right and who is wrong, has been entangled for so many years, it is not clear. You want this innocent child to continue to suffer with us adults Do you want Qi Zhen to know the dirty hearts of adults since he was a child? Make him feel abandoned? Or, do you want Qi Zhen to be deprived of his father's love since he was a child?"

There was resentment in my heart, and a refusal was on my lips, but thinking about Qi Zhen, I hesitated, and couldn't utter it for a long time.

She continued: "You can think about it slowly. Think about Zhen'er, and think about how you will live in the future. Do you live for me and His Majesty, or for yourself. I have already asked Your Majesty for an order. If you Promise, you can set up a nun temple under the Senglu Division, and you will be in charge of it, and manage the world's nuns and women. You have the talent to be as good as a man, so why bother to trap yourself in the harem and a man. Why don't you be like your sister , do something about your own career, and live up to your talent and intelligence in this life. When the town grows up and is sensible, and sees that you are an indomitable and extraordinary woman, instead of the resentful and abandoned woman who keeps him gloomy all day long, he should How to be relieved?"

I hate her.But her last few words brought tears to the corners of my eyes.

All these years after my sister left, I have been thinking that my sister was ruined in the end, did she ever regret it.

My sister can't live to tell me the answer, but I think there is at least one thing she has never regretted, and that is to enter the palace as a female official.

Even though she couldn't serve as a man beforehand, my sister showed off her talent wantonly in this small square city.

Even if she is framed, the history books will not erase the glorious traces she left behind.She used to be the most outstanding female official in the Ming Dynasty. She stood at the pinnacle of women's power in the harem without relying on men, and could almost stand up to the concubines.

The first half of my life has been ruined like running water, I don't want to waste the second half of my life for a man who is not worth it.

I want to live for myself, and also for Zhen'er to have a mother he is proud of, a mother who is not inferior to Sun's.

"You see the big picture, I'm not as good as you." I said, "I still hate you and I will never forgive you, but just do as you say."

She smiled slightly and nodded.

I called out "Zhen'er" several times before Zhen'er came out of the inner room.Seeing Mrs. Sun, she felt a little shy and timid.

Seeing him, Mrs. Sun's eyes turned red.

I suppressed the bitterness in my heart, forced a smile and said, "From today on, Zhen'er has two mothers who will come to love Zhen'er, okay? If Zhen'er is not used to living in Chang'an Palace, it's fine if he is willing to go back and live with Mistress Sun."

For a brief moment, Mrs. Sun gave me slightly surprised eyes.She probably didn't expect that neither the Queen Mother nor I have explained his life experience to Qi Zhen in detail-but Qi Zhen is sensible, these days, listening to people's words and looking at people's eyes, and just eavesdropping on my conversation with Mrs. Sun, probably I have already understood it.

But as long as nothing is said, there will be more room for things to turn around.

Zhen'er frowned, looked at me, and then at Mrs. Sun.

It's rare for someone as calm as Sun's to show nervousness.She bent down to look at Qi Zhen, without blinking her eyes, waiting for his reply with bated breath.

And I overturned the five-flavored bottle in my heart.

I hope Qi Zhen agrees, and I hope Qi Zhen refuses.

Qi Zhen said softly to Mrs. Sun: "Madam Hu is Zhen'er's mother, and Madam Sun is also Zhen'er's mother. But Madam Hu has no other children, and her father will not come to see her. She is too lonely. Zhen'er is still Live with Madam Hu, and often visit Madam Sun, father, and younger brothers and sisters."
