Prince Regent Leng Fei's Phoenix Royal World
Chapter 209 The old man visits the concubine
That night, the old man brought Yin Le to the palace. He originally wanted to bring Liu Qin and Liu An, but it was his first visit and he was afraid of disturbing the concubine, so he didn't dare to bring too many people there.He had seen the concubine once before, but it was already during the reign of the first emperor, and the distance was relatively far away, so he didn't see it clearly, and he didn't dare to look closely.Seeing the concubine now again, he was inevitably a little nervous. Perhaps it was because Concubine Wen was the adoptive mother of the prince regent and was close to the prince regent. He feared the concubine, but in fact he respected the prince regent.
When he came to the palace, the concubine ordered the nanny to greet him at the door, which made him somewhat flattered.According to the old man's instructions, Yin Le also presented a gift to Mammy, and Mammy smiled and said: "The old man loves you so much, so this old slave accepts it, thank you, old man!"
The old man hurriedly said: "Small gift, why bother to say thank you, tonight, mother, you have worked hard!"
"The concubine is already waiting in the mansion. The old man walks carefully. It's getting dark early and the lanterns in the yard are not very bright, so it's slippery carefully." said the nanny.
"Xie Mama is concerned, the old man's eyes are still clear!" The old man replied as he walked.
Mammy smiled, "The old man is old and strong, which is admirable!"
While chatting and laughing, they came to Ju Xiangtang where the concubine lived. The lights in Ju Xiangtang were brightly lit, and the concubine also stood at the door to respond, without any airs.The concubine is nearly fifty this year, and she is well maintained. She looks like she is only in her early forties. Her clothes are not very luxurious, but ordinary home clothes. A dark green long skirt embroidered with red peonies is covered with a black fox cloak. , holding a small hand warmer in his hand, and looked at the old man with a smile.
The old man hurriedly saluted, and knelt down on the ground, "Liu Qinglin, a grassroots man, sees the empress dowager!"
Concubine Tai hurriedly said to Yin Le: "Help up your old man quickly, this is not a palace, so there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony."
Yin Le was struggling, because the old man knelt down to salute, but she, as the granddaughter-in-law, stood aside like a log, and the members of the Long family never knelt, so when he was in a dilemma, he heard what the concubine said, and quickly reached out to help the old man , Said: "Thank you, Princess Toffee, for your compassion and love!"
"It's cold outside, come in quickly!" Taifei said.The nanny also went up to help the concubine, and walked into the house.
Yin Le supported the old man and walked into the house.Yin Le looked around, but did not see Shoutou. Seeing her eyes looking around, the concubine knew that she was looking for Shoutou, so she said to the nanny: "Go and see if Master Ye'er is awake. He hastened over here."
Mammy smiled and said, "I'm afraid I haven't woken up yet, if I woke up, I would have been struggling to come here."
"Then, let him sleep for a while, anyway, the prince hasn't come back yet." The concubine ordered everyone to sit down, and said with a smile.
The old man saw that the concubine doted on Shoutou so much, he was happy in his heart, but at the same time he felt a little apprehensive, and said: "Now, what time is it, why are you still sleeping?"
The concubine waved her hand and said: "He, yesterday he was arguing to go back, it was finally calmed down, today he ordered people to come to the mansion to sing the opera, he watched it for a long time, and played with Ai's family for a while, he was tired, Aijia asked him to rest. He knew you were coming tonight, so he didn't want to go to sleep, but Aijia saw that he was really tired, so he threatened him that if he didn't sleep, Aijia would not allow him to come. He just went to sleep obediently."
The old man stood up, bowed to the concubine, and bowed to the end, "Caomin's stubborn grandson is so loved by the concubine, it is really a blessing from his previous life, Caomin thanked the concubine!"
"Hey, why are you so polite? Aijia likes him. He is with Aijia in the mansion. Aijia should thank him. Come on, sit down and have a cup of tea. He brought these teas to Aijia. Yes." The concubine laughed.
The old man sat down again. Hearing that it was his own tea, he picked it up and took a sip. He only felt that the tea was fragrant and the soup was clear. Immediately relaxed and happy.He was taken aback, and looked up at the concubine, this was the first time he looked at the concubine so closely, his eyes fell on the concubine's face, then he was taken aback again, forgot what he wanted to say, and was in a daze in a trance.
The concubine smiled slightly, "Does the old man think Aijia looks familiar?"
The old man quickly restrained his expression and said, "Yes!"
The concubine smiled slightly, "Then, can the old man remember who is somewhat similar to Ai's family?"
The old man racked his brains to think of the people he had met before, but maybe he was too old to remember. He shook his head, "Caomin is old, and many people who have met have forgotten most of them now. I don't know where the empress is from?"
"People from Eucalyptus, surnamed Yan!" The concubine reminded.
The old man was taken aback, stood up abruptly, and said, "Are you from Eucalyptus? You are..."
The concubine smiled slightly, "That's right, the Ai family actually wanted to call the old man uncle. Back then, the Ai family's aunt eloped with you, and in a fit of anger, the grandfather severed the father-daughter relationship with the aunt. The Ai family also told the old man about this matter from his father." I learned that my father has always been brooding, and wanted to see my aunt again. I found out that my aunt had passed away a few years ago, so I gave up. He wanted to recognize his uncle, but his grandfather was unwilling. He was so stubborn. , who is over 100 years old this year, but loves to think about past grievances more and more."
"Old father-in-law... is he still alive?" the old man asked with a sigh. Back then, Ranan'er was in love with him and chose to elope with him, a poor boy, despite the opposition of his family. Eucalyptus is a wealthy family, and the old father-in-law is a highly respected person in the local area. How could he allow his daughter to marry a poor boy?In a fit of anger, she severed the father-daughter relationship with Ranan.
"Still in good health. My father wrote to me a few days ago, saying that he is nagging more and more, and his temper is getting worse and worse. His heart is still open, and he can never forget what happened that day." The concubine also said with emotion.
Hearing this, the old man felt very sad when he thought of his dead wife.He has a very good relationship with his late wife. The appearance of his late wife is not outstanding, even ugly, but he knows that he is the only one in the world who can never leave him when he is poor, bears children for him, and cares for him. Suffer for a lifetime.
Yin Le listened to the two talking, and she couldn't understand these feelings.She didn't come out of a stone, but she is no different from a stone, because she has never met her parents, and she has never felt even a trace of parental love. This is her weakness. her fatal wound.
"When Ranan'er was dying, she couldn't forget, she wanted to see her father-in-law again, but she said she was afraid that the old man would not forgive her, so she didn't dare to go home until she died. This is the regret in Ranan'er's heart. Regrets in your heart?" the old man said sadly.
Concubine Toffee smiled, "Grandpa naturally refused to forgive Auntie. The fact that Auntie left with you at that time caused a great disturbance in Anzhou. Many ladies also followed Auntie's example and ran away with their beloved. The woman's family naturally pointed the finger at grandpa, and grandpa received a lot of criticism because of this. He is a person who loves face very much. Because of this, he almost lost face. In addition, he thought that his aunt would not be able to bear the poverty soon after he left. And when he came home, he always thought that his aunt would go home and kowtow to him to admit his mistake. Unexpectedly, when his aunt died, he would not be able to wait for an apology. Now that he is old, he will be even more bitter! "
When he came to the palace, the concubine ordered the nanny to greet him at the door, which made him somewhat flattered.According to the old man's instructions, Yin Le also presented a gift to Mammy, and Mammy smiled and said: "The old man loves you so much, so this old slave accepts it, thank you, old man!"
