Tibetan beads

Chapter 430
The Green Bamboo Courtyard is near the back door. The Zhaoguo Mansion has a small population, and this courtyard has been idle for many years.

When Yan Cheng arrived, there was a faint candlelight, Concubine Liu Xian was sitting under the lamp wearing a cloak, with Liu Xi'er standing beside her.

"A Cheng!" Seeing him approaching, Concubine Liu Xian hurriedly got up and took off her cloak.

"Auntie." Yan Cheng called out, "It's just that someone has something to tell, so why bother to make this trip?"

Concubine Liu Xian looked at him lovingly, and said softly: "Auntie is worried about it, it's better to see it with her own eyes."

Seeing that she was so concerned, Yan Cheng's tone softened a bit: "I'm fine, Auntie is at ease."

Concubine Liu Xian asked him: "I heard that your father has already entered Beijing?"

Yan Cheng nodded: "Auntie won't come today, but I will visit you in two days. The new emperor has ascended the throne, and my father has entered the title of King Zhao. Our family is going to move to the capital."

Concubine Liu Xian showed joy on her face: "What about you? Can you seal your son?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Concubine Liu Xian stroked her chest and said, "Your father really values ​​love and righteousness." Then she asked, "Where's Mrs. Dong? Didn't you say anything?"

Yan Cheng paused, then replied: "She didn't say anything, she was discussing with the lady about moving."

Concubine Liu Xian was silent for a moment, then replied: "If she treats you sincerely, my aunt will recognize it."

Hearing what she said, Yan Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.Although he recognized Concubine Liu Xian, he didn't fully believe her words.Seeing that she is not causing trouble now, I am very satisfied.

After thinking about it, he promised, "Auntie, pack up when you go back. I will make arrangements and send you to Beijing."

Concubine Liu Xian had a complicated expression, and sighed: "Last year, I managed to escape from the capital. I never expected that there would be a day to go back. I have pity on my Liu family, there are not many people left..."

Having said that, she lowered her head and wiped her tears.

Yan Cheng comforted in a warm voice: "Don't worry, Auntie. I asked someone to search for the relatives of the Liu family, and now there is news. I will try to get rid of the charges at that time, and you will be able to appear openly..."

"No." Concubine Liu Xian blurted out.

Yan Cheng frowned: "Auntie?"

Concubine Liu Xian showed a smile: "This matter is not in a hurry, after all, my status is embarrassing... A Cheng, don't blame my aunt for being paranoid, as long as I think of what happened to your mother, I will..."

Seeing her dejected, Yan Cheng thought of his biological mother whom he had no chance to meet, and his heart softened, and he replied: "Okay, I'm not in a hurry if my aunt says it's not in a hurry."

Only then did Concubine Liu Xian let go of the big stone in her heart.

After the nephew and aunt finished speaking, Yan Cheng asked someone to take them back.

"Auntie, don't worry, go back, don't go out these days, some things won't be too late until you go to the capital."

Concubine Liu Xian replied with a smile: "Understood, it's getting late, you should go and rest quickly. Since you have to move to the capital, there are many things to do next!"

"Yes."

Watching them get into the carriage, and the carriage slowly drove away from the back door, Yan Cheng heaved a sigh of relief and turned back.

Mrs. Xie was making a list, when she saw him coming back, she smiled and said, "Husband is back? Come and help me to see if there is anything missing."

"What is this?" Yan accepted the order.

"Our luggage! We're running out of time, so we can only pick up the important ones and take them away."

Yan Cheng laughed: "Look at what you wrote, clothes, dowry and decorations... Is this going to move the house together? No need, I have everything in the capital."

Mrs. Xie glared at him reproachfully: "Don't despise trivialities, it's all my dowry, and we'll use it for the rest of our lives."

After that, she looked around and sighed: "Don't tell me, I really want to move the house together! This bed is made of materials I picked by myself. I hired the best master in Qi County, and everyone said his bed Well, we can sleep until we grow old together."

Yan Cheng's heart softened when he heard that, and he stretched out his hand to hold her: "No matter what bed we sleep in, we will grow old together."

……

In the darkness, the carriage drove fast and did not stop until it reached the foot of the Daming Temple.

Concubine Liu Xian got out of the car, and in the dim light of the lantern, she walked through the mountain path step by step, and entered a remote courtyard with bamboo fence in the back mountain.

Daming Temple is a temple for monks, so female relatives naturally cannot live there for a long time.After the refugees settled down, they moved here.

There are no pilgrims here, and there are monks patrolling the mountain path on weekdays. It is safe, but it is too rudimentary.

The courtyard walls are made of bricks, the roof is covered with thatch, and the furniture is also made of bamboo. Concubine Liu Xian has never lived in such a place in her entire life except when she was fleeing.

After entering the main room, she frowned when she saw that her shoes were covered with mud, and called the servant girl to wash them.After cleaning up and sending everyone away, I didn't talk to Liu Xi'er.

"I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Mrs. Dong poured into A Cheng. I can't even hear a bad word."

Liu Xi'er replied in a low voice: "My cousin grew up under her knee after all..."

Doesn't Concubine Liu Xian know?After staying in Tongyang for more than a year, she tried every means to inquire, and even bribed the mother-in-law in the Duke's mansion, but no one said that Mrs. Dong treated Yan Cheng badly.It's really strange, Dong Shi is willing to take over the position of eldest son if he is not his own son?She was really puzzled.

This road is broken, so I can only let it go for the time being, Concubine Liu Xian glared at her niece: "You are also useless, I always let you pass on the message, and Ah Cheng hasn't looked at you until now."

Liu Xi'er said aggrievedly: "My cousin doesn't like it, so I can't help it..."

Seeing her behavior, Concubine Liu Xian was even more disgusted: "It's okay, I don't like you like this, and you still expect to please men?"

She originally thought about sending Liu Xi'er to the Duke's Mansion and blowing the pillow wind next to Yan Cheng.How could he know that Yan Cheng has the same temperament as his father, and doesn't look straight at the women next to him.

"Anyway, I'm finally able to return to Beijing." Concubine Liu Xian let out a sigh of relief, "Back when the Yan family was down and out, my sister tried every means to marry into the East Palace. I didn't expect...Dong's life is really good. After a lifetime, she is only a concubine, but she is going to be the mother of the country."

Liu Xi'er was puzzled: "Auntie, isn't she a princess now?"

Concubine Liu Xian poked her on the forehead unceremoniously: "Are you a fool? The Yan family is working so hard to conquer the world in order to recommend a doll to the top? Naturally, the Zen position will be next."

Liu Xi'er was stunned for a moment, and was even more shocked: "Then cousin is going to be... the crown prince?"

"Naturally, otherwise, why do you think I'm surprised that Mrs. Dong doesn't fight or grab?" Concubine Liu Xian really hated iron and steel, "What did you go to school before? You have the best teacher in the world to teach you, and you can't even do this." don't know?"

Liu Xier lowered her head in shame.My aunt asked her to accompany the princess to read, wasn't it to get acquainted with the prince...

Concubine Liu Xian thought about it, but still felt that it was unreasonable.

"Maybe it wasn't worth it before. When I enter Beijing, I want to see if the Dong clan can fight for it. This is not a matter of title, nor is it a matter of Guan Zhong. This is the throne, it is the whole world. I don't believe it, Dong." I will willingly send it to someone else's child!"
