The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 226
This year, the next year's palace is very lively.

This year is the Year of Tribute, all vassal kings will pay tribute to Beijing, countless rare treasures, beauties of all colors, and the best things in the world will all be brought into the palace and presented to the emperor for enjoyment.

Finally, he was busy meeting all the feudal lords, so he had some free time, so Emperor Ming ordered people to bring Concubine Lan and elder sister Fuxi into the palace.

There were only mother and son in the warm hall. Emperor Ming did not wear a dragon robe, but only ordinary brocade clothes. He greeted Concubine Lan and said warmly: "My eldest sister and I have been cared for by our mother and concubine since we were young. This time, when the concubine mother comes to Beijing, don't let me see you." I'm going back, just spend my life in the palace."

Concubine Lan said with a pleasant smile: "To be honest, when I was young, I had enough time in this deep palace. I hope that my son will grow up and be entrusted soon, so that I can leave this place where I cannot be free." Four corners of the sky, let's go to the outside world to have a look, it's old now, but I often miss this sleepy inner palace."

Fu Xi smiled and said: "Then mother and concubine can stay in this palace, so that my brother and I can do our filial piety to you."

Concubine Lan was a transparent person when she was young, so the late emperor was relieved to entrust the two children left by his wife to her care.Now that she has lived to this age and has seen the vicissitudes of the world, Concubine Lan has a thorough understanding of the world.

In this palace, Empress Cao and Concubine Meng are now fighting against each other, and the battle for the crown in the previous dynasty is intensifying. Concubine Lan only hopes that her son can be a wealthy prince in peace and contentment, and she doesn't want to be involved in this troubled water.

If she hadn't been thinking about finding a suitable home for her precious granddaughter on this trip, she would never have come to Beijing at all.

Concubine Lan waved her hand: "I know you are all filial children, but according to the rules of your ancestors, when the king of the feudal clan is the queen of the feudal clan, his mother and concubine must accompany him. If I live in the palace permanently, it is against the rules. I'm not confused, I can't make things difficult for His Majesty."

Emperor Ming insisted: "I have been taken care of by my mother and concubine since I was a child. No one can say anything about leaving my mother and concubine to fulfill her filial duties in the palace. The mother and concubine can just stay in the palace."

Concubine Lan saw that Emperor Ming sincerely kept her, she smiled and replied: "Your Majesty is so filial, I appreciate it."

She glanced at Fuxi, then at Emperor Ming, and said, "To be honest, I came to Beijing this time with the idea of ​​finding a good husband's family for my little granddaughter in Beijing. If the marriage in Pingyang is not settled, I won't go back for a while, and I have to live in Beijing for a while, if you miss me, we mother and son can see each other anytime."

After listening to Concubine Lan's words, Emperor Ming finally realized that the old man with affection had most likely fallen in love with his sister's son.

The niece of the princess Pingyang is beautiful and lively, and the little nephew Li Xiang is also a gentle and refined child. Prince Yong's mansion and Zhen Guogong's mansion are of the same family status. If they can get closer, they will be a perfect match.

Although Emperor Ming was a king, he was a straightforward person. After hearing what Concubine Lan said, he couldn't wait to reply: "My concubine wants to choose a husband's family for Pingyang, but I have a good candidate."

"Oh! Listen to your Majesty." Concubine Lan put down her jade chopsticks and looked at Emperor Ming with great interest.

However, Emperor Ming put on a trick on purpose again, looked at Fu Xi and said, "Sister, do you know who the candidate I'm thinking of is?"

As soon as Fuxi heard what Concubine Lan and Emperor Ming said, he guessed that the two of them had taken a fancy to his youngest son.Concubine Lan is nothing more than an old woman who is planning for her granddaughter's marriage. Seeing that the younger brother, who is a king, cares so much about these young children, Fu Xi feels very disdainful.

Although Fu Xi is a woman, she possesses the spirit of a man.

In her cognition, as a king, one should be like his grandfather and father, with martial arts and martial arts, wisdom and open-mindedness, and be able to have the ambition to embrace the world, instead of immersing himself in these trivial matters of children .

In front of Concubine Lan, Fuxi was naturally reluctant to reprimand her younger brother, but she still couldn't help but glanced at Emperor Ming with a mournful look, and said flatly: "I can't guess."

Emperor Ming was used to the cold face of his elder sister. Seeing Fuxi like this, he didn't notice his elder sister's prejudice against him, but replied excitedly: "Xiang'er is the right candidate in my mind. Elder sister doesn't think Pingyang Are these two children suitable for Xianger?"

Princess Pingyang is a very good child, and Fuxi is also full of love for this niece, but she still feels very unhappy when she sees her younger brother who doesn't look like an emperor at all.

Fuxi replied indifferently: "Xiang'er has a very good temper, but he doesn't seek to make progress, and he doesn't look like he will have great promise in the future. I'm afraid Pingyang will look down on him."

Since Concubine Lan met Li Xiang at Fuxi's Princess Mansion that day, she fell in love with this gentle young man in her heart.

It's just that she likes it, the key is that since her precious granddaughter returned from the eldest princess's mansion that day, this always lively and mischievous little granddaughter has changed, and she is no longer as unruly as she used to be. The son turned out to be a well-behaved lady.

Concubine Lan and her daughter-in-law saw it, and they understood Pingyang's thoughts in their hearts. Although the little girl was too thin-skinned to say it out loud, she really had someone in her heart.

After listening to Fu Xi's words, Concubine Lan replied with a smile: "Those fame and so on are all for outsiders to see. In my opinion, the most important thing is for a man to be gentle and considerate. I think that child Xiang'er is the most important thing." Good."

When Emperor Ming heard this, he quickly followed suit and said: "Mother and Concubine is right, Xiang'er has the support of me, the emperor's uncle, so there will be no future for Xiang'er in the future."

He looked at Fuxi who was at the side: "Eldest sister is too strict with the children. Brother Ling already knows how to work hard. This little one, elder sister don't force him."

To be honest, this younger brother has always respected and attached to her eldest sister, and he is also good to her children.

Emperor Ming can be called a good brother and uncle.

But Fuxi just couldn't understand that his younger brother didn't have the attitude of a king.

In this case, how could a king be able to say it out loud.

She couldn't help but roll her eyes at her younger brother, and said coldly: "I still need you to teach me how to take care of my children? You should take care of your own children first."

Emperor Ming was finally shut up by his sister, he shrugged slightly, flattened his mouth, raised his glass to cover up his embarrassment, and said with a smile on his face, "Mother Concubine, Eldest Sister, it's rare for us mother and son to get together, let's have a good drink today .”

Fu Xi gave his younger brother another look, but still picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Emperor Ming was used to being bullied by his elder sister since he was a child, anyway, it didn't hurt or itch to be stared at by his dear elder sister, so he didn't care about it, so he just smiled and drank.

This pair of siblings was brought up by Concubine Lan, she is naturally the one who understands their temperament best.

Don't look at my younger brother as a man and a king. In fact, he has been a person who has no opinions and no plans since he was a child.On the contrary, the elder sister Fuxi, although she is a woman, is more intelligent and courageous than a man. If she hadn't been protected by this elder sister, the Emperor Ming of the Zhao family would not have been able to sit on the throne.

As for Fuxi, although she is the adopted daughter of Concubine Lan, to be honest, the old man is a little worried about this daughter. Seeing Fuxi's displeasure, she backtracked and said: "The child raised by Fuxi Naturally, it's all good, but my little granddaughter is spoiled by me and the lord, so she's not worthy of Brother Xiang, so don't mention this matter again, Your Majesty."
