When Forsythia sat in the courtyard and watched her come out, she had only slept for three hours, and walked over with a tight sigh between her eyebrows, and Huaixiang went to bring her washing things.
After dressing up and tidying up her clothes, Lingxi sat at the dining table and watched Aunt Yun bring one dish after another, without any appetite.
At this moment, Uncle Cui walked in with a sigh of a few packets of braised vegetables in his hand: "This little boy Shen doesn't know what's going on!"
” Lingxi looked at him: "What's wrong?"
” Uncle Cui was very depressed: "Old man, I went to the street early in the morning to buy food for him, and I was about to introduce him to the courtyard, who knew that as soon as the door of his courtyard opened, he flew away when he saw me like a ghost." ” Lingxi suddenly laughed: "Grandpa Cui, if it goes on like this, maybe Shen Gongzi will go to the guest house." ” "Is the Northwest Mansion bad for him?"
Uncle Cui was very puzzled, obviously he was so good to him, and he wanted to buy him if he had delicious food, after all, he was so thin, how could he not eat more?
Lingxi held his forehead: "Shen Gongzi is not a pig, where can he eat so much?"
I heard that Grandpa Cui, you also sent two suppers last night. ” Uncle Cui smiled: "Yes, I'm hungry, so I'll get up to find something to eat, and by the way, I'll send him some too!"
” Lingxi motioned for him to sit down and asked, "Grandpa Cui is good to Shen Gongzi because of King Anqing!"
” Uncle Cui smiled in his eyes, and after sitting down, his eyes were full of kind eyebrows: "When I was in the capital, I brought King Anqing and our Royal Highness, although the two Highnesses have different personalities, but they were very cute when they were children, after I followed our Royal Highness, I haven't seen this King of Anqing for more than ten years, this goodbye has grown so big, and although this Shen Gongzi has not seen it, but this child looks down-to-earth and has high martial arts, if he has been following King Anqing, it is also very good." ” After Uncle Cui finished speaking, he took out a chicken leg and gnawed on it, with a smile in his eyes.
After Lingxi heard this, ripples rippled in his heart: "Did Grandpa Cui watch the Northwest King and the King of Anqing be born?"
” Uncle Cui nibbled on the meat and said with a greasy mouth, "Hmm." ” She immediately clenched her fingers and looked at Forsythia: "Call everyone else away." ” Forsythia nodded, and together with Huaixiang, he retreated from the surrounding subordinates and maids.
Uncle Cui looked at this situation and wondered: "Ah Yue, ------ are you?"
"Grandpa Cui."
Lingxi looked at him seriously: "I want to ask you a question. ” "Okay."
"Your Royal Highness's biological mother, is it a palace maid?"
She didn't believe the rumors and records in the palace, but since she wasn't a palace maid, why didn't she even have a name?
Uncle Cui was stunned for a moment, almost coughed and brought a cup of tea to drink, and then looked up: "Didn't His Highness tell you?"
” Lingxi shook his head.
Uncle Cui sighed: "It's also true, even if he is asked, he won't talk about it, let alone the people he cares about."
"I don't want the people I care about to know the past, I hate myself for being powerless to return to heaven, and I'm afraid that my sweetheart will be sad in my heart.
She sighed in her eyes: "Actually, I wanted to ask a long time ago, but I vaguely felt in my heart that there must be a past that he didn't want to remember, so I didn't want to know it from him, if the past was really sad, why should I make him sad again?"
” Uncle Cui's eyes moved lightly and nodded: "Indeed!"
” "So, I want to know from Grandpa Cui today that first, His Highness is not in the house, and second, even if I know the truth, I will never tell him."
Uncle Cui nodded: "It's okay to ---- like this." ” The infinite ripples in her heart throbbed, and she asked with a hesitant illusion: "So, who is the biological mother of the King of the Northwest?"
” "Ah Yue, do you know Nanyang Yudu?"
There was a sudden shock in Lingxi's eyes: "Nanyang Jade Capital!!
” Yudu is rich in qin, flute, poetry and painting, most of the children of Yudu are famous for their talents, these are what her mother told her, almost every generation of talented and beautiful people who are vassals of the prosperous era, Yudu people will occupy a large area of mountains and rivers.
It's a pity that twenty years ago, the Jade Capital declined, and all the Confucian talents in the Jade Capital City ----- not survived.
Lingxi's vague memory, when the queen mother talked about this famous jade capital city in the world, her face was full of admiration, after all, the place where talented and beautiful women prevailed, it is a place where culture is extremely vassal, and the beautiful songs of the eulogy are all sung in the jade capital of Nanyang.
"The mother of the king of the northwest is from Yudu?"
"Yes." is still a first-class talented woman.
"So, how did she meet Emperor Chu, why didn't she have a concubine, and where is she now?"
Uncle Cui seemed to remember something, his eyes were desolate, and he didn't have the usual smile: "It's all a bad fate!"
” Lingxi paused: "Why?"
” "His Royal Highness's biological mother, I am afraid that the favor of twenty years ago is not even comparable to today's Concubine Yan, and back then, she was also named a jade concubine."
Lingxi's face changed, since she is the honor of the noble concubine, why no one in the palace knows now, and she is even rumored to be the identity of the palace maid.
"Grandpa Cui, you're sure you're not mistaken."
Uncle Cui's eyes flashed red, and he seemed to have tears in his eyes, and said: "How can I be mistaken, when Yu Guifei entered the palace, my brother and I were also recruited to enter the palace and become the attendants of Yu Guifei." ” Grandpa Cui's younger brother, that is Cui Ru next to the emperor now, Lingxi looked at him suddenly, and was shocked for a long time before asking: "So, why did it end up like this?"
” Uncle Cui seemed to be very reluctant to talk about the past, and closed his dimly lit eyes: "Because Concubine Yu colluded with foreign enemies to try to rebel." ” "Rebellion?"
When Lingxi heard these two words, he almost fainted in his brain, and then clenched his fists and woke up: "How come?"
"yes, how could it be?
But this is the case, how did the emperor get this throne today, and how did he squeeze out the King of Qi who competed for the crown prince back then, so in the heart of Emperor Chu, the King of Qi was a big hurdle in his heart, but after King Qi failed to win the throne, he retreated to the jade capital and became the king of the jade capital. ” Lingxi covered his forehead and took a deep breath of sorrowful frowns: "What does the Jade Concubine Niangniang have to do with King Qi?"
” "Eyeliner ----" Grandpa Cui sighed: "The Jade Concubine Niangniang personally admitted that she was the eyeliner arranged by the King of Qi in the palace, and the purpose was to seek the country for the King of Qi. ” Lingxi's eyes were bloodshot, and his fingers tightened on his forehead: "-------------" "The emperor also remembered that His Royal Highness was young, so he was raised by the imperial concubine who did not have a prince at that time, and then King Anqing was born, all of this is a later story."
