Chapter 306: Stupid or not?
Chapter 306: Stupid or not?
Mrs. Ye vented her frustration and slowly stopped crying.
King Qin took the handkerchief from Mrs. Qian's hand and bent down to wipe Mrs. Ye's face.
Mrs. Ye was embarrassed to ask King Qin for help, so she took the handkerchief and wiped her face herself. With red and swollen eyes, he asked in a hoarse voice: "Does the prince already know?"
King Qin nodded, "Yes, I understand."
Mrs. Ye’s tears fell again.
King Qin wiped Mrs. Ye's tears with a handkerchief and said, "Aunt, this man only deserves you to cry for him once. Aunt has already cried just now. There is no need to shed tears for him in the future. It's not worth it!"
Mrs. Qian took over and said, "Sister Shan, crying this time is an end to all your hard work and hard work over the years.
The prince is right, he only deserves your tears once. From now on, don’t cry for him again, he is not worth it. "
With one heart to Mingyue, Nai He Mingyue shown his side, Mrs. Ye was bitter in her heart, and tears rushed up again. Mrs. Ye looked up and wanted to force the tears in her eyes.
Mrs. Qin watched her daughter burst into tears, and her heart felt as if she had been stabbed by a knife.
“When you’ve cried enough, put away your tears. Do you want to go back with him and continue to be his crown prince’s wife, or what? Make up your own mind.
After so many years, you are no longer an ignorant girl, it’s time to be sensible.
As I said back then, you choose your own route and live your own life. No matter how much others feel sorry for you, they can't replace you. "
Mrs. Ye wiped her tears and looked up at King Qin, "Ziqin, I don't want to see him again, and I don't want to go back to the British government. I want to make peace with him, please help me, okay?"
King Qin raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Mrs. Ye's face, nodded and said: "Okay, don't worry, aunt, I will handle these matters. Please take care of yourself."
Mrs. Ye said: "Thank you."
Nanny Feng came in and said, "Madam, madam, my uncle has come over. He said he wanted to see the old lady. At this moment, the second uncle is leading my uncle to Qingfang Hall."
After hearing this, Mrs. Ye quickly stood up and walked out.
Mrs. Qian grabbed her and said, "Sister Shan, take the back door."
Mrs. Ye reacted, turned around and went to the back door.
The King of Qin told Ye Mingjin: "Sister Jin, send your aunt back."
Ye Mingjin nodded in agreement, "Okay!"
Mrs. Ye left, and Ye Mingqin led Lu Dingkun into the house.
Lu Dingkun did not expect that King Qin was also there. When he saw King Qin, he was stunned for a moment, and then he raised his hands to greet King Qin first.
The King of Qin returned the gift with his hands raised, "Hello, Your Majesty."
Lv Dingkun exchanged greetings with the King of Qin, and then turned to Mrs. Qin to greet her.
Mrs. Qin nodded slightly and said expressionlessly: "My uncle, you have had a hard journey. Please sit down and serve tea."
The maid brought tea, but no one in the room had finished speaking. The air seemed to be solid and the atmosphere became dull.
Lu Dingkun noticed how alienated everyone was towards him, smiled awkwardly, and asked, "How is your mother-in-law lately?"
Mrs. Qin said calmly: "Thank you for your concern, uncle. I have been doing well these past few years. I can eat and sleep well."
Lu Dingkun said with a smile: "That's good. My mother-in-law is in good health and lives a long life. It is a blessing for us as juniors."
Mrs. Qin said, "I don't dare to think about living a long life. I just hope that I can be healthy and be able to take care of myself in my lifetime. I don't want to cause trouble to the younger generation."
Lu Dingkun said: "If my mother-in-law has accumulated good deeds throughout her life, the Bodhisattva will definitely bless your old man's life to be smooth and free from illness and disaster."
Mrs. Qin said: "Thanks to my uncle's good advice, I hope so."
Lu Dingkun looked around and said, "Where's Sister Shan? Why haven't you seen her? I'm here to take her back to the house today."
Mrs. Qin said: "I'm afraid my trip today will be in vain. Sister Shan doesn't want to see you. Please come back."
Lv Dingkun's heart sank. What he was worried about happened.
“Mother-in-law, why is this?”
Mrs. Qian said: "My uncle is pretending to be stupid when he asks this question."
Lu Dingkun blushed and said, "Sister-in-law, I..."
King Qin said truthfully: "Your Majesty, just before you came in, my aunt sat on the chair you were sitting on and cried for more than an hour. After hearing Aunt Feng's complaint, my aunt left through the back door. My aunt said she didn't want to see you. ”
Mrs. Qin said: "Dingkun, when you wanted to marry Sister Shan'er, what did you say when you knelt in front of me and Sister Shan's father?
That day, you swore that when you married Sister Shan, you would treat her well, not take concubines, not accept married women, and live up to Sister Shan throughout your life. The results of it? "
Lu Dingkun leaned forward and said, "Mother-in-law, I'm sorry, I broke my promise."
Mrs. Qin waved her hands and said, "You don't need to apologize to me.
I married Sister Shan to you, not because of your vow, but because I couldn't resist Sister Shan. Sister Shan insisted on marrying you, but I couldn't help it.
Mothers always hope that their children will be well, and they always hope that their children will be satisfied.
You are now a parent, and you will definitely understand how your parents feel.
But can you understand the feeling of an old woman watching her daughter cry heartbrokenly, but being helpless?
I don’t blame you for breaking your promise. The young man’s oath was forgotten when he turned his back.
I feel sorry for my stupid daughter who is not kind to others. I only blame her bad eyesight and blame me for being soft-hearted and not sticking to my own point of view.
When I am old, I am diligent and see off my guests. "
King Qin stood up and said, "Let me see the prince off."
Mrs. Qin said: "Then I'd like to thank you, Your Majesty."
King Qin leaned forward and said, "Grandma's words are serious, and my grandson should do it."
The King of Qin turned around and looked at Lu Dingkun, "Your Majesty, please!"
Lu Dingkun stood up, bowed and said goodbye to Mrs. Qin, then bowed his hands to Mrs. Qian, and left the Nuan Pavilion with King Qin one behind the other.
Walking to the corridor, King Qin slowed down, waited for Lu Dingkun to come forward, and then walked forward side by side with him.
Lv Dingkun asked: "Sister Shan, is she okay?"
King Qin looked sideways at Lu Dingkun and asked, "Is the prince asking about now or these years?"
Lv Dingkun's expression froze and he said, "These years."
King Qin said: "The prince seems to have a clear mind. In fact, I don't need to say it, the prince also knows it in his heart. Right?"
Of course, since the prince asked, I still have to tell the prince what I know.
The prince has just come back today and must be very busy. Let's sit somewhere somewhere another day. "
Lu Dingkun didn’t want to wait any longer and said, “There’s no need to change the date. Let’s go sit in Zizhuyuan, okay?”
King Qin looked deeply at Lu Dingkun, nodded and said: "As long as the prince has time, I can do it. Please, prince."
The two of them walked towards Zizhuyuan, but no one said a word along the way.
Ruxuan and Ruji were sitting on the corridor of Zizhuyuan chatting. When they saw King Qin and Lu Dingkun coming over, they hurriedly got up to greet them.
The King of Qin ordered: "Send some tea to the study."
Ruxuan bowed and responded, "Yes, I understand, little one."
The King of Qin politely let Lu Dingkun into the study and said, "Your Majesty, sit here."
Lu Dingkun thanked him and took his seat. He looked around and said, "This place is the same as it was a few years ago. It has not changed."
Ruxuan brought tea in.
The King of Qin took a cup of tea from the tray and placed it in front of Lu Dingkun, and then took his own cup. Then he ordered: "Stay at the door and don't let anyone come in and disturb you."
Ruxuan bowed down and left the room with his hands down.
King Qin looked up and looked around the room and said, "Yes, Zizhuyuan was designed for me by my grandfather.
For more than ten years, Zizhuyuan has maintained its original appearance.
The incense burner on the desk was brought back to me by my grandfather when he was on a business trip to Jiangnan.
The painting of plum blossoms next to the bookshelf was painted by my grandfather for me after I took the exam for the first time.
The bamboo painting on the side was painted for me by my grandfather when I took the Qiu Wei examination and passed the Xie Yuan examination.
My grandfather made an appointment with me. When I attend the Spring Festival and enter Yijia, he will make a painting of orchids and chrysanthemums for me, and gather the four gentlemen together. "
At this point, King Qin sighed slightly, "Grandfather left before I was finished after all. The four gentlemen cannot afford it."
Lv Dingkun sighed, "There will be many regrets in life."
King Qin nodded, "Yes, because I am afraid of regrets, so I want to cherish it."
Lu Dingkun nodded in agreement and said, "Over the years, you...the prince and Sister Shan have been wronged by the British government."
King Qin looked up at Lu Dingkun and asked: "Master, did you know that I am not your son?"
Lu Dingkun shook his head, "No, I didn't find out until I returned to Beijing."
The King of Qin asked: "My aunt adopted me without telling the prince, does the prince blame his aunt?"
Lu Dingkun shook his head again, "I don't blame you. I should be grateful to the prince, because with his company, Sister Shan has hope in her life. It was you who accompanied her through those long and difficult days."
The King of Qin stood up and bowed deeply to Lu Dingkun.
Lu Dingkun quickly stood up and said, "My lord, what are you doing? You can't do it."
King Qin straightened up and said, "Thank you, Sir. From beginning to end, you are the only person in the British government who sincerely accepts me."
Lu Dingkun sensitively captured the message in King Qin's words, "No, before the identity of the prince is revealed, you are the legitimate son of the British Duke. Who dares to be disrespectful to you?"
King Qin gave a wry smile and said, "Master, you don't know who the British Duke is?
Being your legitimate son is not an easy task. The reason why I am alive today is not because of the British government's support, but because of my great destiny. "
Lu Dingkun touched his nose in embarrassment and said, "The old lady is selfish and small-minded. You have been wronged over the years."
King Qin said: "The bad thing was not done by the prince, and the prince does not need to apologize. However, I have to tell the prince about these things, so as to give him some warning, so that he can protect your children in the future."
Lv Dingkun looked at King Qin doubtfully.
King Qin looked at Lu Dingkun and said, "Master, do you remember that one of my servants is named Ruji?"
Lu Dingkun nodded, "Remember, I'm not tall and I know some medical knowledge."
The King of Qin said: "If Ji didn't know some medical science, his medical skills could be compared with that of Dr. Hu from the Imperial Hospital.
He was trained by his grandfather who spent a lot of money.
The reason why my grandfather asked people to study medicine is because I was poisoned when I was very young. I have been weak and sick since I was a child, not just because I was born prematurely, but because I was poisoned. "
Lu Dingkun looked at King Qin in shock, "Poison?"
King Qin twitched his lips and said: "In the British Duke's palace, the prince is a thorn in the old lady's side. How can the prince's children be treated well?"
“That doesn’t mean poisoning a child?”
King Qin looked at Lu Dingkun and said, "What can't happen? In addition to being poisoned, I was pushed into the lake twice. Once, Ru'an arrived in time to rescue me, and once, Du Bin passed by and rescued me. rescued.
So much so that for a long time, I didn’t dare to go where there was water.
Even if Ru'an taught me how to swim in the water later, I would not dare to go near the water for fear of being pulled under the water. "
Lv Dingkun asked: "How long did this take?"
King Qin thought for a while and said: "I was six|seven years old, and in the blink of an eye, it has been fifteen|six years.
The most recent time was six years ago, when I was traveling and was chased by the old lady’s people. If it had not been for the rescue of kind people, my life would have been lost.
So, it is not easy to be the son of the prince. "
The King of Qin smiled mockingly.
Lu Dingkun asked: "Does father know these things?"
King Qin said: "I told the Duke, he knows."
"Father knows? He just watches the old lady do whatever he wants lawlessly?"
King Qin asked: "Otherwise? What does the prince want the prince to do?"
The prince must know that the old lady is the mother of Concubine Li and the grandmother of the wise king. If word of the old lady's behavior spreads, how will Concubine De stand? How do virtuous kings fight for the heir apparent? "
Lv Dingkun felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
The King of Qin picked up the teapot and refilled the tea for Lu Dingkun, "These are some of the worse things that the old lady did against me. Small things like kneeling in the ancestral hall and copying family rules don't need to be elaborated on.
Of course, I am a little less, because I am a man, and I spend a lot of time outside. Even when I go back to my house, I am in the outer courtyard. I rarely hang around in front of the old lady. Even if the old lady wants to punish me, she has to remember it. Take action.
There are countless things the old lady said against my aunt. The old lady made me see the horror of the back house.
I remember that one year, my aunt was tortured by the old lady. Within two months, my aunt became as thin as a paper figure. She couldn't sleep well at night and her hair fell out in large quantities.
Grandma was frightened when she saw her aunt's appearance. After asking her carefully, she found out that the old lady was talking about her aunt.
After my grandmother released her aunt back to the British government, she started to pretend to be sick and asked someone to pick her up to take care of her illness. It took my grandmother more than half a year to get my aunt back. "
Lu Dingkun said: "Why didn't Sister Shan tell me these things?"
King Qin replied: "What's the use of telling you? Can you go and say hello on behalf of my aunt who wakes up in the morning and dusk?"
I can still serve tea and water to Mrs. Yang on behalf of my aunt. I stand from morning to night all day long, and my feet are swollen from standing. "
Lu Dingkun’s hands tightened and relaxed, and he couldn’t answer a word.
King Qin continued: "Even though she was tortured in the British palace, my aunt never shed a tear or flinched. Does the prince know why?"
Lü Dingkun raised his head and looked at King Qin.
King Qin did not wait for his answer, but spoke first: "My aunt chose to marry the prince herself. My aunt has the prince in her heart. She feels that she is willing to suffer no matter how much hardship it takes for the sake of the prince.
The aunt even felt that the more the old lady abused her, the more she felt how difficult it was for the prince to make a living under the old lady. Do you think my aunt is stupid? "
