She is different from the empress in the history books

Pei Peng turned over, supporting his head on his elbows, and his eyes fell on Xu Shu's face.

There are some things that parents say thousands of times, but it is not as effective as children truly experiencing them once.

But she couldn't let Xu Shu regret it after experiencing it. After all, the price was too high.

Xu Shu turned her head and looked at A Niang doubtfully, wondering why Pei Peng's eyes were so complicated.

"fine,"

Pei Peng felt a little unmotivated and lay back down again.

Perhaps it was the late emperor's attention that made Xu Qing realize Pei Peng's value, and because he really had no choice, Xu Qing soon cooperated, and the Xu family naturally became even more cooperative.

Pei Peng has seen too many considerations in marriage. Her brothers, not to mention the position of the princess, and the position of the concubine, all have to weigh the position of each other's father and brother. Therefore, she does not have any dissatisfaction with Xu Qing's measurement. After all, she If you choose the other person, you don't really have a crush on the other person.

In short, getting married, getting pregnant, and giving birth to Xu Shu went on smoothly.

Now that Pei Peng thinks about it, those two or three years were indeed a relatively peaceful time, especially after having Xu Shu.

At that time, Pei Peng's mother-in-law was already ill, and she was holding her breath in hope that her daughter would have a child. As for Pei Peng, he could not go to the palace to take care of her every day. When he was anxious, he gave birth to Xu Shu.

In fact, having Xu Shu can't change life, old age, illness and death, but at least it can make the woman in the palace who has been holding on for too long let go with satisfaction.

Pei Peng was sad for a while, but he was still relieved that his mother-in-law was relieved - mother and daughter, especially those who had never had slaves between them, understood each other very well, and Pei Peng knew that Her mother's character also felt that life in the palace was very restrictive and she could not leave. In a sense, death was indeed a release.

After Pei Peng lost her closest relative, a girl, Xu Shu, was born, filling the void in her heart again.

Moreover, the meaning of the child is different from that of the parents. The child is always full of vitality and always makes Pei Peng's company valuable - the child begins to recognize her, begins to call her "Aniang", and begins to change day by day. big.

In those few years, Pei Peng really experienced the joy of being a mother for the first time, and it was also the most intimate period with Xu Qing. The couple had the same flesh and blood, as if they were twisted into a rope and had a common involvement.

All the strangeness and wariness between the two people seemed to be wiped away by the appearance of a child.

Of course, Pei Peng later realized that that was an illusion. The existence of a child was indeed more precious to a mother. After all, it was the child she kept at the cost of almost losing her life.

But for Xu Qing, that was not the case. Considering his status, there were too many women who could leave him children.

Xu Qing grew up with this idea, and no one said that he thought wrongly. Therefore, when Xu Shu was about five or six years old, Xu Qing said to Pei Peng for the first time, "There must be a son." If so, Pei Peng completely woke up.Have a son?But she could no longer give birth, so the son would naturally be born to someone else, and then he would be raised by her side.

This approach cannot be said to be detrimental to Pei Peng. She wants to pass on what she has and needs a son.Moreover, given the current emphasis on filial piety and his own status, there was no possibility of being overridden by a concubine.

So Xu Qing was very open when he talked about it, and the Xu family was very natural when giving away the maid. Even some of Pei Peng's relatives and friends mentioned this matter out of consideration for her.

But Pei Peng resisted. Even though she had seen many similar situations, there were also many wives who treated concubines and concubines kindly, allowing them to be the right-hand man of their children, and even the heirs to keep the family property. But really imagine that such a child wanted to get her After seeing everything, Pei Peng couldn't help but look at Xu Shu, who was happily playing with the servants.

Why not her daughter?
She doesn't want to pass on the throne or the ancestral property. If it is the two, she has to consider other people's ideas. What she wants to pass on is only the family property she has managed since opening the palace, so why can't she give it to her daughter? Take them all away?
Xu Shu snuggled into her mother's arms, not knowing what to say.

Her father wanted a son, and her grandmother wanted a maid from the Xu family to give birth to a son. This was an idea that she had never given up until now.

Presumably, when she was young, their thoughts were even stronger, and Aniang must have seen people who were stuffed in more times, openly or covertly. Xu Shu thought to herself, she had dealt with such a person, I feel angry, how angry must my mother-in-law be.

"Actually, it's okay. You know your father's courage. After we got married, I only allowed him to keep two servants who had been with him since childhood. I also kept all the servants of the Xu family next to him. He was sent back, so he took my people with him wherever he went, so naturally he couldn't do anything behind my back.

As for your grandmother, your grandmother is not stupid. At first, you were still young and my health was not well developed. She was too embarrassed to mention other things, so she had to give me, the princess, some face.

When you are older, they want to take care of the matter of having a child through surrogacy. Your grandfather and I have developed a somewhat father-daughter relationship, and by that time the Xu family is already in contact with my royal brothers. Compared to you, Whether dad can have a son, your grandmother is more concerned about whether I can turn your grandfather's favor into help for their Xu family, so she won't rush me.

Really speaking, after your grandfather passed away, he became filial again, the Xu family's vitality was severely damaged, and I lost the so-called emperor's heart. That's why your grandmother wanted your father to have a son, but she didn't want your second uncle to have a son. You are more scheming than she is, and that's why you encountered such a fool who climbed into another man's bed for the sake of one man's feelings. "

Pei Peng did not deliberately conceal what he said in front of his daughter. After all, she did not receive a Confucian education from a young age. Instead, she grew up listening to her mother-in-law’s nagging. And Pei Peng’s biological mother was essentially A peasant girl who has received little education will inevitably have a bit of rural roughness in her speech.

Pei Peng really did not like the maid who was sent back to the Xu family by Xu Shu. She seduced Xu Qing in order to change from a slave to a half-master, or confessed to him in order to gain his favor. No matter what she did, Pei Peng Everyone will appreciate her a little more. After all, she is doing it for herself.

But Pei Peng looked down on his brother-in-law who could only see a few things about the Xu family.

Xu Shu was also fed up with this kind of behavior, and besides being fed up, she was also a little ashamed. After all, she also had the blood of the Xu family flowing through her body.

"However, you have embarrassed your grandmother by sending her people back like that, especially since her son acted like a monster under her nose and secretly had her people in his hands. Therefore, she will not play this trick again in the future. ”

"But my grandmother recently wanted my father to..."
