Spring apricots around the palace wall

Chapter 115 - The Secret (V)

The Empress Dowager's surname is Yan, and she is the younger sister of Yan Qingling's mother, who is Yu Chumeng's aunt.

The first emperor doted on the noble concubine too much, and repeatedly argued with the queen mother because of this noble concubine. As time passed, King Jin's biological mother, the noble concubine, became a thorn in the side of the queen mother.

For King Jin, the Queen Mother also incidentally disliked it.

The mother suddenly mentioned King Jin and the Queen Mother, and Yu Chumeng realized that when her mother described the death of the first emperor, she deliberately described King Jin as a regicide.

"Mother, do you know that because King Jin couldn't bear to kill me, he angered the late emperor to death?"

Hearing this, Yan Qingling's body was slightly stiff, and she slowly said in her ear: "So what if you know, King Jin is already dead, and letting you know his intentions, wouldn't it be torture for you?"

Yu Chumeng was stunned.

She couldn't recover until her mother left.

After a long time, she clutched her obviously protruding stomach, pressed the armrest of the armchair, and sat down slowly.

It shouldn't be, it should be my mother who made a mistake.

Also, what the hell did Dan Yang do to his mother? -
As soon as Yan Qingling left the palace, she saw Yu Jichang in casual clothes standing beside the carriage she had come in.

She walked over and asked nonchalantly, "Why are you here?"

"I'm free today, so I wanted to go home to accompany you, but I didn't see you." Yu Jichang helped her into the carriage, "Missing a girl?"

Yan Qingling sat in the carriage, saw him sitting beside her, and the car curtain was lowered, she teased: "It's rare to come to the palace to see my daughter, you came here, why don't you send someone to watch me? "

The household department has been so busy recently that there is no free time, she doesn't believe what Yu Jichang said.

Yu Jichang told the driver: "Go to the Tongji store on North Street."

After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Yan Qingling and said, "In the past, that chestnut cake was your favorite."

Yan Qingling said with a smile: "That store has changed its shopkeeper, I don't like the current taste..."

"Then what do you want to eat?"

"Let's go back."

Yu Jichang said patiently: "North Street has a lot of delicious food, I will walk with you slowly."

"I want to go back," Yan Qingling said with a calm expression and a soft tone, "Since you are free, stay with Rui'er at home. I'm already old, and I'm not interested in things like shopping."

Yu Jichang looked at her, paused, and said, "How old are you? I don't think I'm that old."

Yan Qingling smiled and said: "There are a bunch of grandchildren, who have been grandfathers for several years, and they are not old yet."

They only have two children, Chumeng is pregnant now, Ruier is still young, where is the grandson.

Yu Jichang was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized who she was talking about.

Yan Qingling lifted the curtain of the car and told the coachman: "Don't go to North Street, go home."

"Qingling..."

Yu Jichang called her name, and then fell silent.

Yan Qingling asked: "Yong'er will get married ten days later, do you know? I heard that the bride is a girl from a small family, have you seen it?"

The small family in her eyes is still the high-ranking officials and riches in the eyes of ordinary people, but there are high and low officials, and the girl's father is a seventh-rank official.It's not very popular to marry such a girl as the main wife of the lintel of Xia's mansion, but Xia Yong's personal reputation is not good, and Xia Hou is also very casual about his marriage, so there is such a marriage.

Yu Jichang only felt that the sound of "Yong'er" was particularly harsh when she said it, and shook his head with a tense face.

"How could I have seen it."

"You should back up generous gifts, and don't be tight," Yan Qingling thought for him, "When we first got married, how much dowry was there, and you can't make Yong'er shiver."

Yu Jichang's tone became a little irritable: "I won't drink the wedding wine in Xia Mansion, and I don't need to prepare the ceremony."

"You and Ding Guogong are in the court together. If you don't see him when you look up, why don't you go when his eldest grandson has a wedding?"

Yan Qingling said thoughtfully: "I'll accompany you, if you find it troublesome, I'll just come and prepare the gift."

Yu Jichang's face darkened again and again, after a moment of silence, he sighed deeply, put her hand on his lap, held her hand and said: "My daughter has seen Hong before, this pregnancy is unstable, pregnant with a baby." It's not easy for a child, don't tell her about the bad things, and get angry at me."

His attitude is a little humble, and a little cautious.

Yan Qingling wondered: "It's your daughter, isn't it my daughter?"

When they arrived at Yu's mansion, Yan Qingling got out of the carriage as soon as he lifted the curtain, and Yu Jichang followed closely.

"You love your daughter, and you will tell her those things? It's been so long, why do you let her..."

"What did I say?" Yan Qingling stopped and asked him in confusion.

Yu Jichang's jaw tightened, he looked into her eyes, and asked: "My daughter called you into the palace a few days after her birthday, what did you say to her?"

Yan Qingling smiled, and said lightly: "Well, whatever my daughter asked, I said whatever."

It's true that she didn't take the initiative to say it, it was Danyang who Chumeng asked first.

Rui'er was studying in the yard not far ahead, and Yan Qingling was grabbed by the wrist when she wanted to go over.

Yu Jichang persisted and said: "Danyang is dead, what else can you not let go of? I endured what Yonger suffered in the water prison. I don't blame you for Danyang's death. Why don't you refuse now? ..."

Yan Qingling couldn't shake off his hand, so he stood there and looked at him coldly: "What's wrong with me? I understand your kind father's heart, and I want to accompany you to have a wedding wine and prepare gifts for you. Is that how you treat me?"

Yu Jichang smiled wryly, and said, "Qingling, isn't the tea room in Qingyuan nice?"

Yan Qingling was startled, her eyes narrowed.

Yu Jichang continued: "You and Xiahou met the most times there, followed by a courtyard in Yunjian Alley."

Yan Qingling bit her lip and looked at her coldly.

Yu Jichang grabbed her wrist tightly, and his tone was a little ruthless: "Yan Qingling, don't you just want my daughter to hurt someone I care about? But Chuchu was born by you, your own daughter , you don't need to hurt her like this just because she is bleeding with my blood."

Yan Qingling's wrist hurts from being pulled by him.

She laughed out loud: "What are you talking about?"

Yu Jichang's eyes were bloodshot, and he said with deep pain: "Chuchu is a good girl who is self-disciplined and self-loving, why did she flirt with others before the wedding?"

He was suspicious at the time, and showed the food sent to the ancestral hall to the imperial physician, who found the dregs of the aphrodisiac in it.At that time, he had the urge to strangle Yan Qingling to death, but he turned a blind eye after all.

Yan Qingling knew that he didn't have any evidence, so she wouldn't ask such a question. She didn't handle the matter too cleanly at the beginning, so she wasn't too afraid to let him know about it.

"Prince Jin's mother and son are at odds with our banquet, but you still want my daughter to marry King Jin? Why should I make you happy? My daughter is also a queen now, isn't it good?"

Yu Jichang approached her face, breathing rough.

"Have you ever cared about your daughter? Qingling, you really love her, so you won't use her again and again. What do you want now? Danyang is dead, and you still refuse to give up. Yong'er is just a child, he……"

"Your Yonger is 26 years old, not a child anymore."

Yan Qingling looked straight into his painful eyes, and said calmly: "If your daughter is raped by a group of lowly beggars, do you think your son-in-law will kill the whole family and exterminate his race, or persuade her to stop, and then treat the culprit The culprit is affectionate and never forgets?"

She gouged him with contemptuous eyes: "Yu Jichang, although your son-in-law is not a good guy, sometimes you are even worse than him."
